Paula invades 'Rock Star: Supernova'
Among the very special events planned for the Tuesday (9 p.m ET/PT, CBS)-Wednesday (8 p.m.) finale is: a "guest appearance" by Paula Abdul. The press release coughs up no more information, not even which night she's on, much less what she could possibly be doing on a show that prides itself so much on its raw rock 'n' roll credibility that its co-host, Dave Navarro, frequently goes virtually shirtless and the contestants are never referred to as "people" or "contestants" but only as members of that separate, superior species, "the rockers."

UPDATE:
(bear in mind this particular version of the commercial was not animated by Jan Svochak. I'm merely using it for reference, as it is the only one I could find on the Internet.)
Put that in your mousetrap mice don't like cheese
Instead, the tiny rodents prefer foods with a high sugar content like grains and fruit and would turn their noses up at something as strong in smell and rich in taste as cheese, scientists in Manchester in northwest England said.

Paris: 'All I Wanted Was an In-N-Out Burger!'
Paris told Ryan she had an excruciatingly long day on Wednesday filming the video for her new single "Nothing in This World." She told Ryan she wrapped shooting for the day, went to dinner with sister Nicky and girlfriends (guess she didn't eat at dinner), attended a charity event hosted by Dave Navarro and had one margarita. She says she left to drive home -- which, she says, was only a few blocks away-- and may have been going a little fast because she was "starving" and just wanted an In-N-Out Burger!

The First YouTube Election
YouTube is also a tempting launch pad for political mischief because it is effectively unregulated by the Federal Election Commission, whose Internet rules apply only to paid political advertising. Videos on YouTube don’t have to disclose their source or include an on-air approval from a candidate — two requirements for political TV and radio spots.

Paris Hilton CDs doctored
Record chain HMV said Sunday it had pulled from shelves several copies of Hilton's "Paris" album that appeared to have been doctored by British graffiti artist and prankster Banksy.The doctored version includes a topless image of the celebrity heiress, as well as a picture in which she sports the head of a dog. A sticker advertises the album's "hits" -- "Why am I Famous?" "What Have I Done?" and "What Am I For?"Instead of Hilton's perky pop, the CD inside features 40 minutes of remixed music by a musician identified only as "DM."Banksy's spokeswoman, Jo Brooks, said the artist had hidden 500 copies of the altered album in record stores across Britain."They're very subtly done and do look like the original albums," Brooks said.

McDonald's Succumbs to Hedgehogs' Needs
The British Hedgehog Preservation Society has campaigned for years against the containers, saying hedgehogs had died while trying to eat leftover ice cream from discarded cups. Campaigners said the opening in the lid was large enough for hedgehogs to stick their heads in, but not to get them out again, and that animals not rescued by passers-by had died of starvation.
