'Lost' star Matthew Fox cheating on wife with stripper

Hey, it's a clinical disease called TIGERWOODS-itis, leave him alone




Matthew Fox is the latest celebrity accused of cheating on his wife.

Stefani Talbott, a 25-year-old stripper from Bend, Oregon, claims she had an affair with the "Lost" star last July while she was working at Stars Cabaret.

"I was dancing onstage, and I made eye contact with him immediately. I got so excited," Talbott tells In Touch Weekly.

Though the actor's rep says the "accusations are false," Talbott claims Fox paid for four $20 private dances from her and later had her join him at a house he was staying in with friends.

Come home soon, drinks on us




More than 300 U.S. soldiers have died in the war in Afghanistan since May 15, 2009, the day when the first major wave of new troops ordered by President Barack Obama arrived in the country.

Of the 308 soldiers who have died since mid-May 2009, 287 were killed by enemy action, according to a CNSNews.com database of all casualties in the Afghanistan theatre of war.

Ex-officer pleads guilty in Katrina killing probe

We hope he gets nice and sodomized in prison


NEW ORLEANS -- In Hurricane Katrina's chaotic aftermath, police shot six people - killing two - as they crossed a bridge in search of food. For years the case was a shocking symbol of the confusion and violence that swept through the flooded city. On Wednesday it became a mark of shame for the police department.

As victims' relatives watched from the courtroom gallery, a retired lieutenant who supervised the department's probe of the shootings pleaded guilty to orchestrating a cover-up to conceal that police gunned down unarmed civilians.

Michael Lohman, a 21-year veteran of the force, pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to obstruct justice. Prosecutors said Lohman and other unidentified officers conspired to fabricate witness statements, falsify reports of the incident and plant a gun in an attempt to make it appear the killings were justified.

Top Bush adviser defends using nuclear weapons on civilians

Yoo apparently thinks the President is Zod




The senior Justice Department legal adviser to President Bush who made the legal case for the Bush Administration's use of torture tactics on terror suspects defended comments that the president could unilaterally "massacre" civilians in wartime in a newly released interview.

"You did argue that the president can legally order a village of civilians massacred," a KQED radio host asked John Yoo, now a professor at Berkeley. "Do you stand by that?"

"If, I thought it was militarily necessary," Yoo replied. "All you have to do is look at American history.... Look at the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki."

Not backing down, Yoo championed the use of nuclear weapons in World War II.

1 million fewer music download buyers in '09

Two explanations: 1) People like owning the music they buy and the ability to play said music anywhere and at anytime they want OR 2) the increased price (solely for Lady Gaga's shiny things habit) led to fewer downloads? The FAKE reason: blame the "old fogeys"




NEW YORK--The music industry saw 1 million fewer buyers of digital downloads in 2009 than the prior year, according to NPD Group.
Russ Crupnick, an NPD senior industry analyst, told a gathering of music and technology executives on Wednesday at the Digital Music East conference here not to panic.

Those who stopped purchasing music online were mostly older consumers who came online for the first time in 2007 and 2008, tried out downloading music, then lost interest, Crupnick said.

Lindsey vs Julia

Oh, don't make us pick one




The frosty relationship between American skiing stars Lindsey Vonn and Julia Mancuso may have grown a little more contentious Wednesday. Mancuso was flagged off the course during the women's giant slalom because she started while Vonn was trying to untangle herself from the netting after crashing in the previous run.

This came after Mancuso took a shot at Vonn in a Sports Illustrated report that claimed the U.S. ski team was being hurt by "a popularity contest."

"People are having a hard time reaching their potential because it's such a struggle for attention," Mancuso told Sports Illustrated. "You come to meetings after races and it's like it's a bad day if Lindsey didn't do well."

Vonn, who told Reuters she was "bummed out" by Mancuso's statements, reiterated her support for her teammate.
