From the "Dear Tiger" section on the official Web site of Tiger Woods: "Do you enjoy playing so far away from home? I can imagine ... now that you have children, it's got to be hard to be so far away from them." -- Rupert from Houston
Tareq and Michaele Salahi insist they were invited to the White House and say they're "devastated" by criticism and their lives have been "destroyed" -- but they will be exonerated when the truth comes out.
As soon as there were three people on the face of the Earth, two of them were gossiping in some manner about the third.
When I heard about the shortest and yet one of the most famous drives of Tiger Woods' life, my first thought was:
Former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs says the notion of him running for president isn't the least bit "crazy."
Tom Skilling would have been a powerful general in third century China, for if one knew the vagaries of the wind and the fog and the thunder in those times, one would have enjoyed invaluable strategic advantages on the fields of battle.
Last Saturday night, just after the Magnificent Mile parade, I'm looking at the drinks menu in a popular River North joint and I'm thinking:
When it comes to vampires and shape-shifters, and romance between humans and otherworldly creatures, give me the gory, violent, sexy, grown-up madness of "True Blood" over the relatively tame "Twilight" series any time.
Maybe we should come up with Stupid Crime legislation to cover alleged misdeeds that might not be hateful but are certainly stupid.
The rich white Southern family with the fancy mansion takes in the poor black athlete who's practically an orphan, and if a story like that isn't handled right, you'll cringe every step of the way.

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten all about that. I have Michael Douglas' jacket. I'm moving down the hall to a different office at the Sun-Times, and as I was packing stuff up and throwing stuff out, I came across the jacket, which has spent the last four or five years tucked away in the back of a large file drawer, along with such collectors' items as a vintage Steve & Garry coffee mug, some yellowed clippings of columns from the Mullet Era, a signed photo from Julia Louis-Dreyfus circa 1994, and press kits from movies such as "Shrek 2," "The Grudge," "Meet the Fockers" and "Dodgeball."
Geez, do I have to come to Oprah's defense AGAIN? Nearly 55,000 people have signed up for a Facebook page titled, "1 Million Servers Strong Against Oprah's Comments."
Over the last couple of days, the most famous Miss USA pageant contestant in history has enjoyed a spotlight and a platform for her views that 99.9 percent of Americans will never know.
In the recently released "Whip It," which is not the story of Devo but is surely one of the 10 best roller derby movies of all time, there's a scene where a dispute between two rival teams gets physical.
