    Lindsey Lohan? She got a five finger discount & got caught.

    And breaking news is anything but breaking news.

    Because celebrities are more important than news of course. We don't need any of this war, famine and recession nonsense.

    Poor Lindsay, she was such a nice pair of breasts girl

    absurd as it is, it may well be the case.

    sort of like when the 'what is she a celebrity for' mob get shot down by the 'i still would' brigade.

    We don't get news anymore. We get 'info-tainment'.

    I think 9/11 killed the news. They had weeks of interesting stories and real "Breaking News" everyday. Now they just use "Breaking News" for any BS story to try and seem interesting.
