Robert Downey Jr. and his wife, Susan, are the proud parents of a new baby boy named Exton Elias Downey. He was born yesterday
Someone dropped hundreds of Butterfingers in Boston yesterday and then walked around with a sign that read: 'Thank You Wes Welker.' The stunt was meant to rattle the Pats receiver, who
dropped several balls during the Super Bowl. The Pawngo Pawn Shop eventually took credit for the stunt
Giselle Bundchen not only angered Patriots players with her post-Super Bowl comment, “My husband cannot f - - - - - - throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times,” but she also angered their wives as well. A source tells the Sun Times, “Gisele may have had a point, but she should have left it to the sportswriters and other Monday morning quarterbacks. . . . She already is not liked by many players and their wives due to her arrogant attitude. . . . This sure won’t help improve things.”
One of the player's wives says, “Gisele has very few friends among the wives. Of course, many are jealous of her looks and all that, but she doesn’t make it easy to like her — since she obviously feels so superior to all of us.”
Another source says, “Gisele is . . . so stuck up and treats them all like yahoos. . . . In many cases, the other wives are not all that sophisticated, but Gisele has been openly snotty to several of them — making cracks about how they dress and use too much makeup. Stuff like that.”

5 Alternative Uses For Beer from thefrisky.com
1. Wash Your Hair With Beer. Want to make your hair shinier and have more volume? Skip the hair conditioner and break out the bottle of beer.
2. Sleep Aid. Beer can help you get a good night's sleep -- and you don't even have to drink it. When you are washing your sheets and pillowcases, pour some beer into the washer. Apparently there's something about the smell of beer that works as a sedative.
3. Slugicide. Save this tip for the coming spring. If your garden is under attack from slugs and snails, just pour beer into a shallow dish and leave it out overnight. For whatever reason, they are attracted to beer. Let's just say they won't be a problem come morning.
4. Revive Your Wooden Furniture. This is a great way to use those half full, flat bottles of beer you always wind up having after a party. It turns out that flat beer does a great job of restoring the shine to wooden furniture. Wait till the beer is absolutely flat and use just enough to moisten a towel. After you wipe down your furniture, it'll return to its original fresh color.
5. Metal Polisher. When your kitchenware, faucets or other metal around the house is looking a little dull, you can polish it with beer! The amber brew is mildly acidic, which helps remove tarnish. Just pour a little beer on a cleaning rag and polish away.
