• An Isreali woman threw away what she thought was a crappy mattress. Little did she know, her mother had stored a million bucks inside of it. [Times Online]—Oops!
• Carrie Prejean may have lost her crown, but when one door closes, sometimes two new trashy ones open! For Carrie, one was an offer from Playboy, and the second was one from “I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here.” [Anything Hollywood]—Surprisingly, Carrie kept it classy and declined both offers.

Sneaking around on your spouse is all the rage in Hollywood. Just this weekend, Angelina Jolie, openly admitted she and Brad Pitt fell in love while he was still very married to Jennifer Aniston. Ouch!  But she wasn’t the only one messing around in tinsel town. Téa Leoni has allegedly been messing around on David Duchovny with Angelina’s ex, Billy Bob Thornton? Oh, the incestuous web celebrities weave! Alas, in Hollywood, cheating the camera isn’t just an acting technique, but off-screen it can get a whole lot trickier. More, after the jump…

2008 is almost history, and it definitely made some. We saw plenty of highs—the election of the first African-American President—and lows—the stock market dip—but as we look back at a year of extremes, our jaw still drops at these unbelievably shocking moments…

America’s hottest athletes have recreated Tom Cruise’s infamous pants off dance off scerne in “Risky Business”.  Okay, so I know the ménage typically comes in trois/three, and there are four players here. However, there were only three boys brave enough to really show some skin.  Seriously, Kobe Bryant totally wussed out with those basketball shorts.  But still, you had me at Tony Hawk riding in on a skateboard wearing nuthin’ but a helmet and a drum kit. And those boxer briefs really show off A-Rod’s awesome butt!  I’d love to see the bonus footage from this shoot, if you know what I mean. [World of Wonder]

Halloween is approaching fast, and if you haven’t picked out a costume yet, you’d better get cracking. To help, we’ve put together two more popular couples costumes.

Or the two of you can go as the world’s most popular not-a-couple couple, Madonna and A-rod. If you act fast, you can get rush delivery on some of these items. Other items can be found in a thrift store, your closet or a friend’s closet, so you don’t have to spend a lot of money.
