Google does good.

Google

They are so nice.

Google.org, the philanthropic arm of Google Inc., has teamed up with the Soros Economic Development Fund and Omidyar Network to fund a $17 million company that will invest in small- and medium-size business in India.

The Small to Medium Enterprise Investment Co. would fill the gap between loans offered by microfinance institutions and those of large commercial banks and private equity funds.

What the hell did we do before google? How the hell did we know anything?
Mommy? What's a 'book'?

What a good girl...

Jordin Sparks wants to raise awareness about the suffering that results from George W. Bush...uh..I mean...malaria.


Jordin


''American Idol'' champ Jordin Sparks belted it out on Wednesday at the U.S. ambassador's residence in Accra during a visit by Bush.

Sparks is working with ''Malaria No More,'' a nonprofit organization dedicated to combating malaria in Africa.

''By prevailing on last season's 'American Idol,' Jordin showed the world she has a great voice,'' Bush said. ''Raising awareness about malaria means that she has got great compassion and a big heart.'' He's fuckin' deep y'all.

Funny little elf.

Why is Jermaine Dupri always wearing sunglasses? Are his elf eyes too sensitive for the land of grown-ups?

Janet Jackson is, like, 4'11". You know what that makes Jermaine Dupri? A circus freak, srsly.

Not. Pretty.

Yikes. I don't care how old the lady is, there's no way THIS looks better than what she would look like without the face carving.

I should be packing, but I'm so sick I can't move. My stomach is a mess and my whole body aches.
The stress of finding a NYC apartment has knocked me on my ass.

But we got one, and as of next week I will be a resident of the UWS of NYC. I just gotta start packing...

I'm 4-ever yours

I would make up dance routines to every song while my parents watched Hill Street Blues and my big brother listened to 'The Gambler'. It was the soundtrack to my existence. I was 7 when Thriller came out and nothing since has changed popualr music like it.
I don't care how friggin' wacky you are Mike, I will always be yours.

Uh..that's pretty funny.

Paris Hilton has reportedly been banned from attending Sunday's Oscars. Paris even spent millions of dollars on a dress to attend the award show. Skinny-ass was in tears when she found out she was blacklisted.

The source's quotes are pretty fucking hilarious. Here's what they said, "She cried hot, salty tears when she was banned from the Oscars. She's desperate to be taken seriously as an actress and hoped she would be able to network with film executives." Hot, salty tears?

The source went on to say that she may attend one of the after-parties, "She's tempted to go to the parties afterwards but might wear her trademark wig to save her dignity."

Keep cryin' Paris, it got you out of jail. Maybe it'll get you into the Oscars.

Ooops.

The cattle industry and animal rights groups bickered over the treatment of beef destined for U.S. dinner plates a day after secret video triggered the nation's largest meat recall.

U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines mandate that an inspector review sick or injured animals, called "downer" cattle, before they can be slaughtered, and that the 1958 Humane Slaughter Act sets strict rules for the humane treatment of animals.
"What happened in this case was that there were some animals that were harvested out of compliance," he said.

'Cause that doesn't seem desperate at all...

New York magazine managed to get LiLo in a state of undress, because that's hard. Lindsay was all up for a Marilyn Monroe re-creation shocker.

Donning a voluminous wig, winged eyeliner and, uh, not much else, La Lohan revisited the famed "Last Sitting" photo shoot with the very same photographer who captured the intimate moments of the screen legend just six weeks before she was found dead.

Never mind the eerie parallels that can be drawn between the two voluptuous actresses or that I can't figure out why Lindsay is on the cover of every magazine right now promoting absolutely nothing. The real issue is, when can we stop encouraging this sick little monkey?

That's sad.

Super cute alt-couple breaks up.

Pink (love me, love my androgyny) and motocross racer Carey Hart have separated after two years of marriage.

"This decision was made by best friends with a huge amount of love and respect for one another," Pink's representative, Michele, said Tuesday in a statement. "While the marriage is over, their friendship has never been stronger."
