Happy Easter, peeps!SOUTH PARK CENSORED
South Park was censored on Wednesday. The show wanted to include a scene depicting the Islamic prophet Mohammed, but Comedy Central refused to air it. Earlier this year, there were major riots around the world after Danish newspapers published a cartoon of Mohammed. Any rendering of the prophet is considered blasphemous by Muslims. "In light of recent events, we feel we made the right decision," Comedy Central said in a statement.
HASSELBECK'S STALKED
The View's Elisabeth Hasselbeck has admitted that she and her football player husband, Tim, have been stalked and harassed. Barbara Walters made the announcement on The View Wednesday as a visably shaken Hasselbeck sat beside her. Apparently, an unidentified woman has been making phone calls to New York authorities saying Hasselbeck is a poor parent. The Hasselbeck's have a one-year-old daughter named Grace Elisabeth. Walters read a statement from the family, which said child protective services found the allegations to be absolutely false. After reading the statement, Walters said, "You have our love and our respect, we couldn't care about you or Tim more than we do. You have our admiration, our affection and our total support."
MOUSSAOUI HAS NO REGRETS
The life of Zacarias Moussaoui is in the hands of a jury. Last year, he pled guilty to being part of an al-Qaeda hijack conspiracy but denied playing a role in the 9/11 attacks. If you have any question about whether he should live or die, here's what he said about the relatives on 9/11 victims in court this week: "I'm glad they are suffering pain. I just wish it would happen the 12th, the 13th, the 14th, the 15th, the 16th, the 17th." He also said that he would kill Americans "anytime, anywhere" and called Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh "the greatest American." If this isn't the poster boy for the death penalty, than who is?
QUICK HITS
It was a long time coming. Bucky Covington was voted off American Idol on Wednesday. Let's hope the overly dramatic Ace is next. DE Illusionist David Blaine is at it again. He's getting ready to live in an underwater aquarium for seven days and nights in front of New York's Lincoln Center. He'll also attempt to break his own record of holding his breath longer that 8 minutes and 58 seconds.
