Normally, we at The Buzz prefer to concern ourselves with weighty topics, such as Shakespeare, politics and whether it’s possible to consume 30 hot dogs in 60 seconds. But today we’re simply awash in celebrity news too weird to ignore:
Paris Hilton checked into jail late Sunday after the MTV Movie Awards
(http://www.heraldnet.com/stories/07/06/05/100wir_a2hilton001.cfm), ensuring her makeup would still be perfect when it was time to have her booking mugshot taken.
Hilton will serve 23 days, which she’ll spend overcoming cell phone withdrawal and planning a clothing line inspired by her orange jumpsuit.
Would the real Mike Tyson please stand up? The former heavyweight boxer says he’s become interested in doing a little Bollywood acting
(http://www.heraldnet.com/stories/07/06/05/100wir_a2tyson001.cfm).
Tyson recently danced in a promotional music video for a Bollywood film, and now says he’s been offered a movie role. We take that to mean everyone left the two-day video shoot with their ears intact.
“Memory” overload: Starbucks plans to mark the release of Paul McCartney’s “Memory Almost Full,” the first album on the company’s new record label, by playing it continuously in stores all day (http://www.heraldnet.com/stories/07/06/05/100bus_e1starbux001.cfm).
We suggest you get your coffee early, before the baristas put in their earplugs and can’t hear your order.
