- The U.S. Army apologized to Ryan Seacrest after learning the “American Idol” host’s stalker was one of their own. Chidi Uzomah Jr., a sergeant with the Army Reserves, entered the E! offices on Friday armed with a knife. He also attacked one of Seacrest’s bodyguards in September. [People]—Ryan sort of annoys us, but he doesn’t deserve to be stalked.
- During a D.C. Council hearing on marriage equality, a witness paused during his testimony to propose to his partner. [The Daily What]—Aww.
- Weezer teamed up with Snuggie to promote their new album [Spinner]—I believe a 2009 remix for “Undone (The Sweater Song)” could be in the making.
- The British tabloid that gave Kate Winslet the title “World’s Most Irritating Actress” must give the actress $40,000 after she sued. [PopEater]
- Ladies and gentlemen, the world’s first Twitter-only device. [WSJ]—A lot of annoying people we know use Twitter to communicate with friends instead of texting, so this sort of makes sense.
- Nearly half of DVR users still watch commercials. [The Atlantic]—Purpose: Defeated.

As a DVR-er myself the only reason I watch commercials is because I absolutely forget I recorded the show in the first place. Or I get to talking about what I’m watching and use the commercials as a conversational timer.
