Good Riddance, '00s • Newsweek made a video titled "The Decade in 7 Minutes," which could have been a fun look back except that 9/11, George W. Bush, and Afghanistan all happen in the first 30 seconds and then you start looking at your watch because, man, this has been a rough one!

Uh, Nice Try, Chris Brown

For those of you who don't know, Chris Brown is an American singer and dancer, who earlier this year was arrested on charges of beating his girlfriend, Rihanna, repeatedly in the face in a parked Ferrari before running away into the night. For months, Chris Brown remained silent on the issue, assuming for some strange reason that everyone should leave him alone about the whole thing, as if being caught punching your girlfriend in the face a ton was the same thing as being photographed coming out of a Starbucks. These poor celebrities and their lack of privacy! Now, obviously, the situation between Chris Brown and Rihanna is primarily a personal one, and no amount of public apology from Brown would ever change the very private work he is going to need to repair his personal relationships, not just with Rihanna, but with friends and family who are now coming to terms with his violent tendencies. But it is not weird that people were upset about this, or that they somehow want some kind of genuine emotional and perhaps legal repercussions for Chris Brown. And him going on Larry King, or picking up some leaves, is not really going to cut it.

Which might be why he is now turning to making videos with cute children.

CNN Says That Nicolas Cage Says That He Is Broke • This news story is weird. Nicolas Cage is so broke that he has to sell four different 10 million dollar mansions? But I guess he still gets to keep a few of his other 10 million dollar mansions? What fucking definition of "broke" is CNN using?

Does Anyone Care About The Slumdog Millionaire Kids Anymore?

As you may or may not know, I am not a fan of the movie Slumdog Millionaire. Personally, I think that it is a condescending and exploitative after-school-special to make white people feel better about their cultural ignorance and their inaction towards global humanitarian crises. And there was a certain period of time in which I regularly wrote posts about the tumultuous and mostly-tragic lives of the movie's young child stars after the colonial film crew had packed up and moved home. Today, there is another report about how the kids aren't going to school, and how that might make them ineligible to receive the trust fund that Danny Boyle set up in their names. That's no good! My first thought was "Ah, another disturbing update on the nightmarish lives of the Slumdog Millionaire kids." And my second thought was, "wait, does anyone even care about them anymore?" And that is the whole problem right there!

But first, what is going on with those dudes?

The Creepy "Pretty Woman" Guy Is The Roman Polanski Of YouTube?

Remember this guy?

Goosebumps! I've got goosebumps all over! And I'm vomiting!

Now, we learned months ago that there is no such thing as a free laugh on the Internet. So almost as quickly as we discovered the creepy old man signing "Pretty Woman" on YouTube, we discovered that the creepy old man was on the registered sex offenders list. Yikes. Well, it seemed too good to be true. A creep on the Internet who is somehow not actually a creep? C'mon son!

But now the creepy old man has been placed in jail, in part due to his "Pretty Woman" video.
