HeyDIdYaKnow every dirty old man’s pop-tart of the week inched a little further towards legality by holding her 16th birthday party this weekend at Disney World this weekend.  A creature of understatement and restraint, Miley Cyrus and her increasingly creepy father, Billy Ray Cyrus, shut down Disney World so she and her 5,000 closest friends could party the night away… at least until her curfew.   And in even more financially objectionable news, as this is being written, before 10:30 AM Monday October 6th, the Dow has already dropped over 300 points.  Sure, not the largest percentage or numerical drop in history, but it is the first time that the Dow has dropped below 10,000 points for the first time in more than four years.  I am sure glad to know, though, that the Cyrus family is doing alright through all this.

HeyDidYaKnow Star Trek Space Sailor George Takai is no longer Sulu… i mean solo.  Sorry fetishists.  He has married his longtime partner of 21 years Brad Altman at the Japanese American National Museum by a Buddhist priest.  In more pressing news, the European Stock exchanges have fallen more than 4% with the news that Lehman Brothers filed chapter 11 Bankruptcy before the American markets even opened, which are expected to fare even worse.  The Lehman Brothers, one of the five (that’s right, just five) Investment Banks in the US had over $640 Billion worth of assets.  Merril Lynch is also having it’s own troubles, and soon might be bought out by Bank of America.

obviously not the only thing daddy’s money has put in her mouth…

HeyDidYaKnow Brooke Hogan has been sharing her keen political insight with the world AGAIN!  We thought it couldn’t get worse after her first comment.  But it only gets worse this time, dropping some jewels on us like: “Who’s that?” when asked what she thought of Sarah Palin.  “I’m voting for God because he’s in the party of freedom, dude”. Wow.  It’s a shame that steroids don’t cause sterility… sigh.  But Brooke Hogan isn’t the only one that doesn’t know what’s going on in the world.  Heard that the government has been pressed to take over Fanne and Freddie Mae Mortgage giants?  A wholly unprecedented move in scale in America.  However, what is most shocking is how China is involved.  They have $24 BILLION invested in the mortgage giants.  That means that the Chinese Government owns a significant portion of our national debt.  Now that’s scary.

HeyDidYaKnow, wake and bake godfather of cheap burgers and astounding amounts of mad-cap pot induced adventures, Kal Penn has been spotted actually WORKING at the DNC this year. Speaking of which, Denver’s Mile High Stadium broke ground in 1999 and was completed in 2001. That’s 8 years less than it took to build the Flavian Amphitheatre. The mile high stadium was built at a cost of $365 million and has a capacity of 76,125. Obama is expected to fill the house with thousands of loyal fans in funny hats.

HeyDidYaKnow Hollywood “tabula rosa” heiress Tori Spelling has apparently decided to pass on the 90210 remake. Rumor has it they are going to replace her with a St. Pauli’s Girl cardboard promotional cutout… there are already Emmy talks. Outside of Beverly HIlls, a study in 2006 reported that 1 in every 53 houses has filed for bankruptcy. Tori has been emotionally bankrupt for years.
