Pitt Pulls a Spears, World Powers Meets for Iran, British First in Divorce Case, Jeb Bush Goes NFL, and Al Gore Shows the Truth

1. Al Gore's documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, opens in NY tonight. Because Wednesday is an inconvenient work-hump day.

2. Jeb Bush was approached by Patrick Rooney Sr. about his interest in running the NFL. Rooney's brother, Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney, is the co-chair of the search committee looking to replace commissioner Paul Tagliabue. Bush met with the senior Rooney and told him that he would finish his term in January and consider then. Bush said he would not run for president in 2008. Funny, doesn't it seem that the two Bushes (badly) switched dreams? (AP)

3. In a groundbreaking case in the eyes of legal experts, Britain's highest court ruled in favor of an ex-wife, taking into account for loss of earnings incurred during a marriage. The Lords awarded Julia McFarlane 250,000 pounds each year for a limited period for life maintenance because she had to forsake a well-paid job to raise the children. Of course, priceless is the joy derived from own spawn-caring. (Reuters)

4. Brad Pitt decides to compete with Britney Spears and strapped Zahara Pitt-Jolie, 1, sans helmet and closed-toe shoes, to his back while he went biking. Apparently the makers of the baby pack advise against biking as it affects the biker/carrier of baby's balance. (Daily News)

5. Powers of the world united today to talk about what they should do with Iran. UN Security Council permanent members China, Russia, US, France, Britain and Germany have yet come to an agreement with how to encourage Iran from building a nuclear bomb, which one EU diplomat described as "really just an academic exercise, since the Iranians have made it clear that they won't accept any offer." And we know how Bush excels at academic exercises. (CNN)
