Meet David Kernell, the 20-year-old University of Tennessee student who's probably going to jail for a very long time for "hacking" into the Yahoo email account of Sarah Palin by correctly guessing her security questions with information he gleaned from her Wikipedia page.
OMG.
I'm sorry, but can we please stop calling this kid a "hacker"? That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard. This kid is not a hacker. I remember the Golden Age of hacking, where you actually had to know stuff abou...

Since it's apparently Gay Day in the news today, it's fitting that the AP would run a piece on Isis King, the transgender model in this season's America's Next Top Model. I haven't been watching the season, but I found the profile fascinating.
In New York, King had also had run into obstacles. The $4,500 she had saved to move to the city had dried up, and she needed help getting back on her feet. She moved into an apartment provided by The Ali Forney Center, an organization that serves homeless gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth.
"Technically, I was homeless," King said. "I just wasn't living literally on the street."
In late 2007, America's Next Top Model filmed an episode in New York to raise awareness about homeless youth. The contestants modeled in street clothes and a handful of homeless youth donned couture, serving as extras in the shoot.
King was one of them.
When Banks later scrutinized models' photos for judging, "she kept on noticing Isis," executive producer Ken Mok said. "And she said, 'Who is that girl?'"
King clearly knew how to pose, understood fashion and was passionate, he said.
Earlier this year, Top Model found King and invited her to audition for the new season.
The AP story also notes that transgender characters and actors have become slightly more prevalent on TV recently, citing Candis Cayne's stint on Dirty Sexy Money and Alexandra Billings' run on Grey's Anatomy.
Very cool to see more acceptance for transgendered individuals, even if I do still kind of think the ANTM thing is a ratings ploy.
More video of Isis is after the jump.

Amount paid by TMZ to OJ Simpson buddy and trial witness Thomas Riccio for the audio recordings of his September 2007 meeting with OJ: $150,000.
Oh well.
They may have way more money to throw at stories about washed-up acquitted double murderers who are currently poised to serve a life sentence for stealing sports memorabilia, but they've got nothing that competes with my dog.

The mansion she bought in a gated Beverly Hills community for $7M, um, less than a year ago, is now on the market. Britney apparently plans to move to Calabasas.
Spears' camp stated that she was seeking a "lower density, more quiet and less trafficked neighborhood, that is also more accessible to parks and recreation areas" to better suit her little ones, 3-year-old Sean and 2-year-old Jayden.
Also: her neighbors hate her.
Neighbor Ed Mc McMahon, for one, has publicly cited Spears as one of the reasons why in the past two years he has not received a single offer on his 7,000-square-foot home that recently sold for ...
OMG YOU GUYS.

This is the new cover of People magazine, which will hit newsstands on Wednesday.
It's Clay "Spamalot" Aiken -- and he's a HOMOSEXUAL!!!
You could knock me over with a feather right about now.
The Claymates are going to riot in the streets of the fly-over states. They're going to cry themselves to sleep in small-town Alabama tonight. For everyone else, life will go on as usual.
Also: when is someone going to give the "Yes, I'm Gay" exclusive to anybody other than People magazine? Listen, Sam and Lindsay, if you're going to...
Oh, look, here's Jessica Alba and her perfect stomach like twenty seconds after giving birth.
I don't know if it's true or not, but I'm just going to tell myself that she had a ton of liposuction, because it's the only way I can go on living in a world of such gross genetic inequity.

The impeccable Dita Von Teese launched her new line of lingerie for Wonderbra in London today by swinging from ... a gigantic bra. Okay, that's just weird. But the line is hot.
Seriously I don't need a stupid boyfriend, I'm gonna put this shit on and model it for my cats. And they're gonna be all like, "Damn, Mom, I'd do you," and it'll all be very confusing for everyone involved.
I can't figure out how you actually BUY this stuff -- it doesn't appear to be available on the Wonderbr...

Steven Spielberg and his wife, Kate Capshaw, have followed in Brad Pitt's footsteps, donating $100K to fight Proposition 8, the ballot initiative that would ban gay marriage in the state.
"By writing discrimination into our state constitution, Proposition 8 seeks to eliminate the right of each and every citizen in our state to marry regardless of sexual orientation. Such discrimination has NO place in California's constitution, or any other," the couple said in a statement.

Sharon Stone is like the Britney Spears of the Viagra set.
At the age of 50, Sharon has somehow managed to lose all physical custody of her 8-year-old son, Roan, to her ex-husband, Phil Bronstein.
According to court documents detailing a September 12, 2008 custody hearing, Phil Bronstein "shall have permanent sole physical custody of child. Court finds that Respondent (Sharon Stone) failed to meet her burden of proof and denies Respondent's (Sharon Stone's) request for modification of cust...
