On numerous occasions (the first in a 2002 speech recorded by C-SPAN), Kirk said he was the recipient of the U.S. Navy’s “Intelligence Officer of the Year” award for his service during NATO’s conflict with Serbia in the late 1990s. Just one minor issue: he, uh, never won it. When contacted by the Washington Post, who had learned of the error, Kirk’s spokesman Eric Elk offered only, "we found the award was misidentified and corrected the name."

Source: FOXNews.com | 30 May 2010 | 4:16 pm M.I.A. Posts Song, Audio Clips In Response to Hirschberg Profile Tweeting Lynne Hirschberg’s phone number was apparently just the beginning. M.I.A. has now found a more creative way to channel her anger at the controversial, Hirschberg-penned Times Magazine profile, posting a song on her blog today called “I’m a Singer” which includes lyrics like “Why the hell would journalists be thick as shit / Cause lies equals power equals politics” and “You're a racist / I wouldn't trust you one bit.” The refrain is a bit less specific, though just as charged: “I’m a singer / Never said anything else / I didn’t lie to you / Thinking of somebody else.” In addition to the track, M.I.A. posted two purported audio clips from the interview, one of which - titled “Here’s the TRUFF” - proves (assuming it’s real) that Hirschberg was in fact the one responsible for ordering the infamous truffle fries, the subject of the piece’s most scathing line ("'I kind of want to be an outsider,' she said, eating a truffle-flavored French fry"). We're hoping Hirschberg fires back with a dis track of her own... maybe with a Lady Gaga verse?

Tony-winning Broadway musical Avenue Q, which features a satirical character based on and named after Gary Coleman, will be adjusting its script in light of the actor’s death. Jeff Marx, the show’s co-creator, said that, after some “very serious consideration,” they will be altering some lines which seem “inappropriate now,” though the character will remain in the show with the same name. “We probably cut 20 words out of 1 million from the show tonight,” said Jeff Whitty, the book writer for the musical.

"This scares everybody, the fact that we can't make this well stop flowing, the fact that we haven't succeeded so far,” BP Chief Operating Office Doug Settles said at a press conference Saturday night.
"American people need to know that it is possible we will have oil leaking from this well until August when the relief wells will be finished,” she said.

Source: Entertainment - Google News | 30 May 2010 | 10:32 am How the Creators of Lost Seduced and Betrayed Their Fans In this week's New York magazine, Emily Nussbaum wraps up her Lost chronicles with a last word on the finale and the series in general — which, she concludes, failed. Here's her take on the late introduction of Jacob and Smokey: It redefined everything we’d watched as a game played by manipulative gods. Jacob smirked and wore Jesus robes. His brother, the Man in Black, was the evil Smoke Monster. While the pair were not named Cuse and Lindelof, it was hard to ignore the resemblance, since Lost’s characters—like its fans—had been revealed as the pawns of narrative overseers who spoke in riddles, were hard to trust, and continually reassured them to be patient, the end was near.
