American Idol

via LA Times

Paula Goodspeed, a self-described fan of Paula Abdul, was found dead in her car outside of the the “American Idol” judge's Sherman Oaks home. Ms. Goodspeed’s car was reportedly decorated with a photo of Abdul hanging from the rear-view mirror. Her personalized license plate reportedly read “ABL LV,” which has been said to stand for Abdul Love.

"Ms. Goodspeed's mother had gone to [the sheriff's department] to report her daughter missing and advised them that she might be suicidal," Los Angeles Police Capt. James Miller reportedly told People. Officials "determined that Ms. Goodspeed may be up in the vicinity by Paula Abdul's house. Our officers discovered her vehicle parked on the street and found her inside. She was unresponsive to officers."

Authorities say her death may have been due to drug overdose, but tests still have to be performed.

Another theory: Ms. Goodspeed was a seriously deranged person who was exploited by her hero for the summer viewing pleasure of millions of Fox viewers, like you. But that's just a theory I'm working on.

Basketball jones

via LA Times

73 year old, Ken Mink, is a full-time student at Roane State (Tenn.) Community College and and member of the school's basketball team. Monday night, Mink played 10 minutes and scored two points - on free throws - in Roane State's 93042 victory over King College's junior varsity team.

"I found myself on the free-throw line 52 years after my last college game," Mink told the Associated Press. "I said, 'Just relax and shoot it like you know how to all day long.' I just floated the shots in there. I'm in the books now. I can relax a little bit."

Mink last played college basketball 52 years ago at Lees College in Jackson, Ky. He lost his spot on the team and was expelled after someone soaped the basketball coach's office. Mink still insists he didn't do it.

Giant Lego men


A giant Lego man washed up on the beach of Brighton, England last week. A different giant Lego man was fished out of the sea in the Dutch resort of Zandvoort in August. That model was yellow and blue, and had the words "No real than you are" in English across its torso.
