THE BIG STORIES
Imus Gets Fired
Don Imus ignited more anger and outrage than Mel Gibson when he called the women of the Rutgers basketball team "nappy headed hos." As the sponsors pulled out and racial arsonists like Al Sharpton voiced their anger, Imus stood no chance of staying on the air. MSNBC and CBS quickly fired the longtime host, leaving many wondering if he'll resurface on sattelite radio.
Duke Lacrosse Charges
The rape charges against the three Duke lacrosse players accused of raping a stripper at a party were dismissed this week. Some publications like the New York Post were quick to publish the name and picture of the accuser, branding her a liar.
Anna Nicole's Baby Daddy
After months of wondering who was the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby, DNA tests prove that it's Larry Birkhead. Howard K. Stern says he's not going to pursue custody, so hopefully all of these clowns will fade into the sunset.
