Video of the Day: "Bruno" lands on Eminem
Remember when the MTV Movie Awards used to be hip and fun and, well, relevant? They held them again last week and the only thing people are talking about is Sacha Baron Cohen's entrance as "Bruno."

"Idol" throws America a curve; nice guy finishes first
A nice guy finally finished first. As a result, I wonder how hardcore Danny Gokey fans feel today. Did Kris Allen's upset victory over Adam Lambert last night in the "American Idol" finale last night warm some cockles or make people mad/depressed about what could have been.

This just in: Danny Gokey stopped for lunch!
We can't help ourselves. Every other media outlet is providing saturation coverage of Danny Gokey, so we feel compelled to report that the "American Idol" semifinalist stopped at Mason Street Grill before heading toward the Summerfest grounds. Gokey was running an hour behind schedule this morning, which was not a surprise. He's slated to throw out the ceremonial first pitch and sing the national anthem tonight at Miller Park. He'll also visit the Brewers broadcast booth in the top of the third inning.
