"I covered myself in Vaseline. I can feel it squishing between my toes," - Burt Reynolds, "Striptease"
It's been an overcast, rainy and generally crappy week in Austin with end of quarter madness at work and my vacation tan fading faster than Lindsay Lohan's sobriety, but let's put all that aside to deal with the important stories like:
Officials confirmed this week that Anna Nicole Smith died as the result of an accidental overdose caused by combining a powerful sleeping drug with a number of prescription medications, which totaled close to 10 substances. 
This should put to rest most of the conspiracy theories about her death, and also explain how she could stand to be around Howard K. Stern so often.
On Sunday night Britney Spears entered a hospital - but it had nothing to do with her recent stay in rehab. The 'Toxic' singer was admitted to the Century City Medical Plaza for little more than a broken tooth.
The catch: Spears likely broke her tooth trying to open a Vodka bottle with her mouth.
Rapper Eminem and his ex-wife Kim Mathers have reached a court agreement to stop criticizing one another. The couple, who divorced for the second time last year, decided to stop publicly trading insults for the sake of their 11-year-old daughter Hailie.
It's a good thing the rapper and his ex-wife will start acting civil, which just leaves the multiple recordings Eminem has released over the years threatening to rape and kill Kim for their daughter to discover at a later date.
Wynonna Judd filed for divorce Tuesday from estranged husband Dan Roach, less than a week after he was indicted in Tennessee on three charges of aggravated sexual battery against a minor under the age of 13.
Sounds like a really bad country song don't it?
Bloomsbury Publishing Plc and Scholastic have unveiled the cover design of the last book in the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" which was created by Mary GrandPre, acclaimed illustrator of the six previous U.S. editions.
The book doesn't come out until summer, but now adults and kids alike have something keep their wands in a frenzy until the release date.
Bono was bestowed knighthood in Dublin Thursday in a private ceremony attended by family and friends in recognition of his contributions to the music industry and his inspirational efforts to end poverty on the continent of Africa.
After the ceremony, Bono went to take a leak and during his stroll through town he stopped a mugging, gave money to a homeless man, rescued a kitten from a tree and cured cancer. The man always makes me feel lazy.
The 30th "Star Wars" anniversary will be celebrated with a set of iconic stamps featuring the well-known characters of the "Star Wars" movies, including Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and R2-D2.
The U.S. Post Office also announced they fear that some fans will just lick and lick and lick the stamps bearing their favorite characters and never properly mail anything.
As always, let's end things with a pleasing image like this one: 
I like women who spell things out, so forget any sense of ambiguity today, say what you really mean and . . . Happy Friday!

That quote is too funny! I actually saw that movie, but don't remember that line. Of course I don't remember much about the movie in general except it was pretty damn bad.
What a shocker about Anna Nicole's autopsy, eh?
Cute picture, but I always thought if you had to advertise yourself a hottie, you weren't quite sure if people were buying it to begin with? haha
Stay dry and you can always hit the tanning bed for that "just back from vacation" look! Happy Friday.
Don't Eminem and Kim look alike? I'm always creeped out by couples that look like they could be brother and sister.
Busy week- glad it's done. Happy Friday!!!
Jlee - That's a good point about spellling things out as I kind of feel that same way about witty t-shirts because it's my suspicion that you're buying your humor. Maybe not. But tanning beds worry me more than the sun - don't know why.
Wendy - THey do look alike, and that is not a good thing for a couple. Too alike and you just raise questions.
Nobich - It sure feels like it - Happy Friday.
Oh the Eminem bit is soooo true, it's actually quite baffling really.
As for the tanning salon...i love them, or you can even try a fake tanner if you are against the salons. Bain du Soliel had a great one that didn't make you orange and it was my fav, sadly they are not making it any longer. You'd have to find an good one though.
Did you check out the Superficial today? Interesting article on Jenna J.
Speaking from a very superficial perspective,every time I see Eminem trip over Kim Mathers, I just dont get it.
I liked that movie striptease! about all the divorces, guess don't nobody beleive in love no more.
Miss Ash - I used to do the beds when I was personal training, and I could catch a quick power nap as I found them pretty damn relaxing. They are starting to worry me a bit these days.
Jlee - I'll have to check it out. Thanks.
Idig - I completely agree there as at best she looks like trash - and not in a good sexy way. Just trashy.
Sxy - Maybe it's just a different kind of love. Ha. And "Stiptease," what a flick that was.
