Star Boot Overdue, New iPod Not To Come, Reject Rejects, and Old, Shiny, Happy People

1. To add insult to injury, Star Jones not only (felt like she) got fired from TheView but actually should've been "fired" months ago--the latter which Barbara Walter told the NYT. Apparently, Jones' plugging of products on the show so that she can receive them free for her wedding, amongst other off-air behavior, garnered her negative publicity. Don't you just love it when Bridezillas get their comeuppance instead of their own reality show? Or at the very least, the word, comeuppance?

2. Don't hold your breath for a new iPod to come out unless you can hold your breath for over half a year. Experts are saying that a 4 or 8 or 12 gig iPod won't be coming out until December most likely due to Apple's need to tinker with having a substantial battery life to accomodate a wider screen. (Ars Technica)

3. All American Rejects' singer Tyson Ritter says his song-writing process is done in the frame of mind of a woman, that is, with "no sense of rationality or direction ." Ritter also shared his disfavor for Coldplay for its repetitive beats and by cleverly saying to bandmate Chris Gaylor, "You know why you're gay?...Because you like Coldplay." Um, way to alienate your potential and actual fan base--perhaps name of band actually carries no irony whatsoever. (TMZ)

4. Though your body might be falling apart after 50, don't worry--you'll be much more positive and emotionally stable says a new study. So young folks, sulk sulk sulk all you want and ignore your optimistic elders' advice. Your brain is just horribly underdeveloped that way. (Science News)
