Water Cooler
Here are a few things in news, entertainment and pop culture that we've been talking about.
n Despite opposition from neighbors, Wayne Newton u25B6 gets the county's OK to offer guided tours of his 52-acre ranch. Danke schoen, suckers.
n Makers of Four Loko, the caffeinated alcoholic beverage under fire for allegedly sending drinkers across the United States to the ER, announce that they'll remove the drink's caffeine. Like removing the breasts from Pamela Anderson: What's the point, then?
n In her book, Sarah Palin blasts "talent-deprived" contestants on "American Idol" who suffer from "the cult of self-esteem." As opposed to the talent-deprived, delusionally self-esteemed losers on, say, "Dancing with the Stars" and "Sarah Palin's Alaska"?
n Prince William and longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton announce their engagement. Just another romantic tale of two starry-eyed kids starting out with nothing ... oh, wait. Never mind.
