Just one tonight, because it’s oh-so-important: Pirates of the Caribbean 4 is a go, with Johnny Depp and (so far) nobody else. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are not going to be in it, no word on the other big or little stars. Personally I hope Gibbs returns. I like him. That is all. Unless [...]

Some readers may recall my post last month about how I didn’t think Paris Hilton was as immature and “ditsy” as the media portrays her, and now there’s a new documentary film proving just that.

Cristobal battered the coasts of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina in mid-July; Hurricane Dolly hit southern Texas just a few days later; T.S.
