Coffee in hand, here is my own personal morning news round up:

My boy Nas' record is Number 1 on the Billboard 200. How did he celebrate? A protest on the front steps of Fox News, of course. Remember in the '90s when rappers only had beef with other rappers? Then O'Reilly had to go and say Nas was "nothing short of a gun-toting, murder inciting criminal."  Oh Really O'Reilly? Watch Nas talk about the beef on Colbert on Youtube.

Remember Ashley Dupre? I had almost forgotten too. The call girl who helped Eliot Spitzer destroy his career is back. This time she's been hanging around with Thomas Earle. Stay tuned, the whole ordeal is very Pretty Woman. Doesn't anyone care if they get herpes anymore?

David Beckham paid a visit to Toronto yesterday to play in the All Star game. Unfortunately, Beckham had to see that Toronto FC fans have no class. The crowd booed Star-Spangled Banner. Grow up kids. 

Just when you thought the Internet was safe. Powerhouse Google is about to nab up networking news site Digg. The deal may cost Google as much as $200 million. A word to the kind folks at Google: I'll sell you my blog for half that. 

Athletes from Iraq have been banned from the Beijing Olympics due to politics, causing everyone to wonder when they are going to ban athletes from Beijing from the Beijing Olympics. 

Everyone's favourite mess Tricia Walsh Smith has posted another Youtube video chronicling her divorce. Apparently Kathy Lee Gifford wants her dead. Newsflash Tricia: Kathy Lee Gifford probably isn't the only one who wants you dead. When will she learn that her online video diary is no match for her ex-husbands powerful lawyers?

And last but not least, the mini-celebrities over at Disney are fighting again. I have $5 that says Miley is going to loose an eye.

let's hope this NAS beef leads to on camera meltdown to rival that of earlier internet fame.

Less hair, more Conservatism!
