Peak Dope from Atonella Barba to Jesus!

Best Marketing Scheme Ever from Topps
Baseball card maker Topps has come up with the most inventive way to get Americans interested in buying their baseball cards this year – they’ve Photoshopped President Bush and Mickey Mantle onto the Derek Jeter card. The company’s spokesperson says people should look at the rest of the cards in the set with a critical eye, suggesting maybe there are more surprises.

Entertainment Weekly Takes the High Road on Antonella Barba
It’s hard to find one clean article on the Internet today about American Idol contestant Antonella Barba, but we finally managed to do just that. She’s the one getting more attention for her topless pictures being leaked onto the Internet by a so-called friend than she is for her singing.

What You Didn’t Hear About This Year’s Oscars
You saw the moment Al Gore got snubbed before he could make whatever announcement he was about to make. (There’s a limo parked behind The Kodak Theatre with it’s lights on!) You saw Melissa Etheridge beat out three songs from Dreamgirls in order to win her Oscar for her song I Need To Wake Up from Gore’s Inconvenient Truth. But did you know that the 79th Annual Academy Awards went green this year?

Top ‘Young Hollywood’ Stars Haven’t Been in a Movie Since ‘04
The Forbes list of the top money earners in Hollywood is out and some of the richest stars in young Hollywood don’t even work. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have a combined income of $40 million but haven’t been in a movie since they were in New York Minute in 2004. Also super-rich and still naturally pretty (to some extent) are youthful stars Daniel Radcliffe of Harry Potter fame and Lyndsey Lohan…who is famous for being famous. Lohan is only worth $6 million. Maybe she better go dig some gold from Radcliffe who is worth $13 million. That $40 million banked by the Olsens isn’t much in Oprah’s world though. Forty-million dollars is what she dropped this year alone on opening a school for girl in South Africa.

Hollywood Director Finds Jesus!
No, Christianity isn’t the latest trendy religion to sweep La-La Land – Director James Cameron is certain he’s unearthed the lost tomb of Jesus and has even made a documentary about it. Israeli archaeologist Amos Kloner says Cameron is only trying to pimp his documentary to the masses.

Britney Rumors Abound…
Either she has post-partum depression or she’s bipolar. That’s the latest rumor anyway.
