Rumor is loud that Steve Jobs may be taking over Disney for good. Financial mag, Barron, is predicting that with Disney’s acquisition of Pixar making Jobs the biggest shareholder of the Mickey Mouse company, the Apple founder certainly is eyeing the top prize.

"I think he has an open option," Barron’s quoted analyst Christopher Whalen, a New York-based managing director of Institutional Risk Analytics. "Disney is badly undervalued right now. Jobs might get an opportunity to take it out…The markets and Disney shareholders would welcome a merger led by their apparent savior, Steve Jobs."

For the second year in a row and for the third time in four years Bono has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Even rock’s biggest living icon knows that it’s way easier to collect Grammys than that million dollar prize in Oslo.

This year he’d be wise to expect no less beacuse he’s vying for the award against 191 nominees!

Altogether, there were 191 people nominated for the prize, the second highest tally in the 105-year history of the awards; there were 199 names submitted by the Feb. 1 deadline last year…

David Beckham has never exactly been celebrated for his intellect, but even his greatest critics will be surprised by his latest confession: he can’t understand his six-year-old son’s maths homework.

It’s a shame that David isn’t better at maths and English but he is top of the class at football. There are not many of us who are top at anything! Nevertheless, I bet the reporter who did this story would struggle with Brooklyn’s math problems too.

The Real Madrid star admitted that when Brooklyn asked for help with a school assignment recently, he was baffled - and had to turn to his wife Victoria for assistance.

Maybe the only reason Posh can do the math is the practice she gets spending her husband’s paychecks. But this is totally ridiculous! It’s ridiculous that he can’t help his son and it’s even more ridiculous that he admitted it!

Clorox is supposed to fight germs. Or Lysol.

But germ-fighting Brazilians? WTF, we love these people for liking to fuck with wreckless abandon.

Damn the AIDS epidemic for pooping on every libidinous Latina/o’s party. Now it seems the Brazilians – the last people we’d expect to get too safe – just got too safe.

A mouth spray designed to fight germs was recently launched in time for Carnival in Sao Paolo and Salvador, two Brazilian cities notorious for French kissing among strangers (and perilous sex, of course) in the midst of deliciously pagan street merriment.

Atlanta socialite Lita McClinton Sullivan actually lived a TV movie.

We mean the kind that might have been called ‘True Crimes’ or a Danielle-Steele-sounding title.

As it happens, her story took place in the ’80s, when real-life crime TV movies were big. In this story, the wealthy husband she divorces hires a hit man to blip her off.

Yeah, genius, kind of like Jerry Bruckheimer’s Cold Case, only real.

It’s time to trade Kevin Garnett because the Minnesota Timberwolves owe it to him to give him a chance to go out on top. If not, it will be unfortunate to see KG added to the ever-growing list of great players never to win a ring.

People fail to realize, he has a lot of miles on those legs. He came into the league at a young age, and it wasn’t like Kobe, who had Shaq.

A player like Garnett does not come along each year, much less every 10 years. When a player goes to Minnesota, he knows - because of KG - they have a shot each night to win. Other than Shaq and Dirk (Nowitzki), who else provides a tougher matchup? Forget it. No way.

KG is definitely losing hope. Proof? He was ejected in the third quarter of Minnesota’s victory over Memphis on Sunday for tossing the ball into the stands and accidentally hitting a fan. He desperately wants a championship ring and he knows that with the way things are going for the T’Wolves, he’ll surely follow the footsteps of Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing and Karl Malone.

Six months after Katrina, New Orleans is still a pile of wrecked homes and wretched morale. But if there’s one thing natural disasters and idiotic public officials won’t dampen in the town we call Big Easy, it’s the booze that raises the spirits of the Mardi Gras.

Few apprehensions are surfacing, but the people of New Orleans is celebrating Fat Tuesday this year. Partly to find escape and mainly to cling tight to tradition. Some are wondering whether spending badly needed money on repairs should be splurged for the event. What, forgot how to have a good time?

Even as Mardi Gras enters it busiest period, the estimated 150,000 remaining residents of the Big Easy are still split on whether spending $2.7m (£1.5m) on the festivities was the best move for a city whose coffers are bare, and where progress on reconstruction is, by its mayor’s admission, "in limbo".

Despite these sentiments, many find it inconceivable that Mardi Gras would not take place.

Does this mean Jon Stewart’s fake news show is not at all making a dent on the ridiculous political issues as we suspect it to be? Or was the unsuspecting  Illinois’ gov just wasn’t hip enough?

Last week Gov. Rod Blagojevich scratched his head and said "D’oh!" as he revealed to the press he wasn’t aware he was being interviewed for a comedy show even after the Daily Show’s Jason Jones fumbled for his name and unabashedly questioned his sexuality.

"It was going to be an interview on contraceptives … that’s all I knew about it," Blagojevich laughingly told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in a story for Thursday’s editions. "I had no idea I was going to be asked if I was ‘the gay governor.’"

At one point in the interview, a startled Blagojevich looked to someone off camera and said, "Is he teasing me, or is that legit?" [Yahoo News]

The prospect of one grilled cheese sandwich would set many women checking the calories, but not so Sonya “Black Widow” Thomas.

The diminutive Burger King manager from Maryland wolfed down 26 of the snacks in a mere 10 minutes without a second thought for her thighs. Thomas picked up $8,000 for winning the World Grilled Cheese Eating Championship at the Planet Hollywood Restaurant in Times Square in New York.

Yes, the true champ isn’t satisfied. “I could have done better,” she said after downing 26 grilled-cheese sandwiches in 10 minutes at a New York restaurant last week, four fewer than the goal she set for herself. She had been aiming for 30 sandwiches.

With the most celebrated carnival worldwide having sent locals and visitors wild since Friday and with the majority of Rio de Janeiro’s police officers being on high alert to avert any misconducts, some thought they had better “seize the day.”

Talking about wits and creativity, Art thieves in Brazil have used the start of carnival celebrations in Rio de Janeiro as cover for a raid to steal some of the city’s most valuable paintings.

As for their high-taste loot, it consists of Pablo Picasso’s “The Dance”, Salvador Dali’s “The Two Balconies”, Henri Matisse’s “Luxembourg Gardens” and Claude Monet’s “Marine.” The values of the paintings were not immediately available.

The theft of the paintings and book is the latest in a string of meticulous art robberies in recent years. The thieves though will find it hard to dispose the precious times as they will not be very easy to sell within Brazil because they are so well known.
