Irwin Costume: Over the Top?  Oct 31, 2006  
 

Trying to avoid showing up to your next Halloween party with the same costume as someone else? You may want to steer clear of khaki shorts. As it turns out, one of the top-selling costumes is none other than a Steve Irwin getup, complete with blood stain and plastic stingray protruding from the chest area.

Photos of Bill Maher, the well-known political comedian/critic, impersonating Irwin at an LA bash, have been popping up all over the Internet. Not surprisingly, many fans of the late Crocodile Hunter have responded in disgust.

What’s your opinion? Funny or Insensitive?

I’ve created an essential collection of the most candy-coated, contagious, can’t-get-’em-out-of-your-head songs of all time, so when you need to hear a pop jam, you’ll know where to look.

The OCD: Welcome Back, Josh, Pt. I  Oct 27, 2006  
 

Please, allow me to first say that I was one of the lucky few (among millions, I’m sure) that was able to watch the season premiere of the OC on myspace.com last night, so if you weren’t one of those people, I’d suggest you stop reading this column riiiiiight now. In other words, SPOILER ALERT!
