Don't you wish you had cool actor buddies like Woody and Denzel who would write character letters for you if you did something stupid like listen to a "tax avoidance" scheme?
Actors Denzel Washington and Woody Harrelson have written character reference letters to the federal judge who is set tomorrow to sentence their pal Wesley Snipes on federal tax charges.

For his part, Washington compares his friend to "a tree--a mighty oak."
One group of Americans not that interested in the digital revolution:
Kreuziger's experience is shared by most Americans: They want the convenience of e-mail for non-urgent medical issues, but fewer than a third of U.S. doctors use e-mail to communicate with patients, according to recent physician surveys.
I can't stand it, can't stand it, can't stand it (construct mental picture of my head banging against the computer monitor):

When Kyra Rogers was younger, she dreamed of being one of those students who had earned a 4.0 GPA - and the right to wear a white robe in the front row at Durango High School's graduation.
A rap star's secrect past uncovered, and it turns out he was -- ready for it? -- not such a bad guy:
So there was no conviction. There was no prison term between 1999 and 2002. And he was never "facing 75 years," as the singer claimed in one videotaped interview.
Remember when stars tried to clean up their pasts?

This outcome was to be expected, but it's a little surprising that the vote was 7-2 instead of 5-4:
The Supreme Court has upheld the three-drug lethal injection method used by the state of Kentucky in a 7-2 decision, clearing the way for a nationwide stay on executions to be lifted.
