• Hannah Montana fans feel "played for a fool" when they realized the star had used a body double to lip-sync songs at her national concert. Surely, this won't be the last time these fans will feel this way.

• PETA is so desperate for spokespeople they'll even use women who wear fur.

• On the top-ten impressive beards list of all time, Chris Beam didn't make the cut.

• Bridesmaid's dresses are ugly. Also, Katherine Heigl, that nice actress from Knocked-Up, has a new movie coming out about being a perennial bridesmaid.

• Democrats don't like gays anymore than Republicans do. Well, maybe a little more, but the sentiment remains.

• Michelle Rodriguez finishes up her 180 day DUI sentence in a record 17 days.

Famous blogger and personal friend, Chris Beam, appeared on The Colbert Report last night. The best part is when they Photoshop Chris's beard onto John Edwards. You can't hire and compensate writers fairly for comedy like that.

So Chris Beam, a friend from college, is going to be on the Colbert Report tonight. Awesome for Chris!

IvyGate, the blog for smug Ivy Leaguers, has graduated. The pet project of Nick Summers of Newsweek and Chris Beam of Slate now has a staff of three writers. Summers and Beam will maintain a publishers role.

You may remember IvyGate for destroying the life of Aleksey Vayner, a Yale student who took the Adidas slogan “Impossible is Nothing” to new levels of doucheness.

Since it is the first day of school, here’s a reminder to be happy you graduated:
