A Creationist's Pet Dream, Mariah Sells Her Scent, and NYC Doom Comes in Boat-Car Shape

Hi Kitty, cute kitty-oh-that is not your profile...

1. As the engrossing daytime TV host saga ensues, Meredith Vieira tearfully confirmed on yesterday's "View" that she will be taking over Katie Couric's spot on "Today." Ann Curry, brilliantly combatting past rumors of her lacking intellect, commented, "I'm excited to get to know someone who would be a great girlfriend." (Daily News)

2. A study from Science shows that there is a positive relationship between punishment and profit, as a society with a lack of rules attract and encourage exploitative citizens. So society needs order...oh... thanks for the update, New York Times...

3. Environmental group Transportation Alternative is suing to keep Port Imperial Duck Charterers' duck boat/cars from running in the city on the grounds of increased noise, pollution, and safety problems. Yeah, tourists and tourist-related activities usually do that. Those lovable rascals. (AP)

4. Ciara and (Lil') Bow Wow have officially split, allowing the latter to recently bring back a stripper to his Regent Beverly Wilshire penthouse the other night. What a way to bounce back.

5. Cy, for cyclops, the one-eyed kitty that lived for one day, will be on display in the Lost World Museum in Pheonix by--projected--fall. Museum owner and creationist John Adolfi says the museum will also harbor deformed animal remains, giant plants and eggs, and archaeological treasures. Cy was one of two in its litter; its sibling was two-eyed and healthy. Shortest. sibling. rivalry. ever. (AP)

6. Mariah Carey will have her own perfume through Elizabeth Arden, who also sells Britney Spear's and Elizabeth Taylor's. Wouldn't it be funny if Gwennie had to model for what will be the seemingly-sluttiest perfume ever? (Reuters)
