Default This is news?

I look on the yahoo front page, and it tells me that Mariah Carey has lost 20 lbs and dropped 3 dress sizes.

Ok... what am I supposed to do with this information? Plan my weekend around it? Sheesh.

In the same vein...

http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/TV/0....ap/index.html

Quote:
NEW YORK (AP) -- Martha Stewart's dog Paw Paw, who was a familiar face on her television show and in her magazine, has died of renal failure.

The 60-pound chow, whose full name was Kublai Khan Paw Paw Chow Chow Chow, was almost 13. Stewart had owned him since he was born, and had named him Paw Paw for his large paws, a spokeswoman said.

"Paw Paw was a spectacular chow and an even more spectacular dog," Stewart wrote in a blog post on his death Saturday. "He was always my loyal companion, displaying the most agreeable temperament."

Stewart wrote that Paw Paw was a willing model for the camera, appearing in television commercials and national print ads. She said in his final days, he stopped eating and drifted off into deep sleeps.

She has two other dogs, Sharkey and Francesca, along with several other animals, including cats, horses and donkeys, at her home in Bedford, New York.

Well if 30 people die in Iraq and there is an earthquake in Gary, Indiana is that really going to change your weekend plans?

Why you would expect to find news on yahoo is beyond me. Go to foxnwews. Fair and balanced.

Not to me. I already knew about Mariah Carey's 20 lb weight loss. I was shocked when I first heard it, though.
