NFL fans have been waiting for Thursday night for what seems like an eternity. The Saints and Colts open the regular season. The game -- it doesn't get much better than Peyton Manning vs. Drew Brees -- is on NBC at 7:30 p.m.

Halle Berry has told Access Hollywood that she's three months pregnant. The 41-year-old actress identified the father as her boyfriend, model Gabriel Aubry.

Because nobody wants to see a saggy, wrinkled, pasty man in a Batsuit.

[Stops typing to shout obscenities at co-workers.] Yep, Keaties, we love ya. Happy birfday.
Oh, and you too, Rose McGowan (please don't shoot me with your leg!), Dweezil Zappa (I'll either get you a weasel or an easel) and Raquel Welch (cougar-licious!).
