Prince Harry Does Oral, South Korea Does Plastic, Bush Does Scary, Cruise Does Lifts, and Duke Does Incompetency

1. The British gossip mill is abuzz as pictures of Prince Harry showing off his oral sex skills on a doll are being pitched for sale to tabloids. Guess there was enough breathing time between this and the Nazi costume. (Daily News)

2. South Korea has been seeing an interesting trend of unconventional gift-giving. Move over sweets, money, and flowers. Cosmetic surgery, mainly in the form of botox, face lifts and hair transplants, is vying for ma's and pa's love, with appointments at clinics rising 50% on Parents Day this year over five years ago. Gentle reminder that the U.S.'s Mother's Day is around the corner and if you're needing some ideas...*twiddle thumbs* (Reuters)

3. Over the weekend, Bush shared his wisdom to some Oklahoma State graduates: "Science offers the prospect of eventual cures for terrible diseases - and temptations to manipulate life and violate human dignity." He then quickly snapped out of his James Earl Jones voice and chuckled with his shoulders. (AP)

4. Something odd happened at LA's premiere of MI3, outside of the apparent pairing and constituents of TomKat itself. The diminutive Tom Cruise was literally seeing eye to eye with the statuesque "Kate" Holmes, which leads many to surmise that his shoes were hiding lifts. Or maybe he got that Chinese tibia grafting surgery... eee... painful... but so is Tom himself... so, apropos. (Daily News)

5. The response from Duke University officials basically sucked, according to a report by ex-Princeton President William Bowen and ex-NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Julius Chambers. Well, really in words of the report, the "gap in communication" was "extraordinary," pointing out the failure of the Duke police to communicate to the administration the racial aspect of the attack, the delay of a week in alerting Duke President Richard Brodhead, and the "handicapped" and "limited diversity" of convening leaders in addressing the crisis (five white men).
