Especially the ones women get on their lower back, just above their waistline. I saw one the other day that was a shooting flame... yeah, like it was coming out of her butt. What's up with that? -- Family Phil.

SyFriday: The Tragedy Of Dying A Celebrity

It's very easy to see actors who have died young and feel that it must be real rough to be an actor. These are people like Chris Farley, John Belushi, River Phoenix, and more recently actors such as Brad Renfro, and of course, Heath Ledger.

Of course, people die young all the time, and sometimes through overdoses or some other health issue. But since so many people have been entertained by younger actors' work, it's easy to notice their death more than others who may not have been famous when they died.

One of the hardest non-family member deaths I had ever had to endure was that of my best friend growing up. His name was Aaron, and he literally lived in a house just behind mine on a different street. It was always fun to hang out with Aaron, because not only was he someone who cared deeply about his friends and treated his friends like kings whenever they were around, but he also had the biggest yard in the neighborhood which was great especially for a kid like me whose total yard is about the size of most people's closets.

Transfer deadline day: 9am-1.30pm

That dressing gown cord has been loosened from my neck and thrown jubilantly out of the window at the heart-stoppingly joyous news that, as Andy Reid prepares to sign for Sunderland, part of the deal means Charlton get Essex underachiever and 'utility' misfit Greg Halford! I'm already wetting myself in anticipation of his not fitting in!" And you got £4m for Reid too, which should come in handy when you need to bribe someone to take Greg off your hands.

11.57am: "In response to Mr McKerr's slander (10.06am), I have never claimed such transfers as Thierry Henry and Didier Drogba," says Jimmy McManners. "And my Dad did mutter 'tosser' under his breath upon receiving it from David Ccameron." Ah, but he didn't have to take it, did he? "I can, however, exclusively reveal that Keegan has a verbal agreement with Shaun Wright-Phillips to come to the Toon.

Satirical Newscast, Kosher Style

Over footage of burning buildings, Israel Defense Forces troops and the Israeli prime minister, the straight-faced anchorman intones: “Great news out of Israel: Ehud Olmert has announced that the second Lebanon war was a success…. Another of Olmert's notable successes is his attempt to comb over his bald spot." Yes, it's a satirical newscast, but not “The Daily Show"; nor is it “Weekend Update" from “Saturday Night Live." On “The Mendy Report," news is delivered by a long-bearded Hasid wearing a velvet yarmulke at a rakish tilt.

Mendy Pellin, a 25-year-old Lubavitch comedian and ordained rabbi, launched his online newscast and Web channel, ChabadTube.com, in November 2006. Since then, he's built an international audience. Segments posted by fans on blogs and on video sites like YouTube and Google have drawn more than 500,000 views.

The Aspen Correspondent

Do you really want me to be honest? the Belmont, Vt., native said. The 21st birthday, of course. Ive been waiting for it for so long.

As for Bleiler, shes been waiting for a shot at redemption for 12 months after Bright a 21-year-old Australian snuck in and spoiled her usual victory lap in front of her hometown fans.

The top qualifier last year, Bleiler posted the best opening run with a score of 91 then waited to see if anyone could top it. Bright, summoning the energy of the scores of screaming Aussie fans lining the pipe on, of all days, Australia Day followed with a second run for the ages.

She opened with a tricky air-to-fakie transfer, then swung a huge Cab (switch frontside) 720, followed by a massive McTwist two hits farther down the pipe.
