 As some may have heard, Al Gore is set to be the newest member of the (in)famous Venture Capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.  While perusing the Wikipedia article on Al Gore’s son, a little factoid caught my eye:

On July 4, 2007, [Albert] Gore [III] was arrested in Laguna Hills in Orange County, California for speeding over 100 MPH in a Toyota Prius. Gore admitted to recently smoking marijuana and was found to be in possession of a small amount of marijuana, along with the prescription drugs Valium, Xanax, Vicodin, Adderall and Soma. Police reported that Gore had not been prescribed the drugs.

I don’t mind that Gore III was apparently running a dispensary from the back of his Prius. But how in the hell did he manage to speed in a Prius? 100MPH, really? How modded is his car?

Al, I think you just found where your first term sheet should be headed.

While looking for news on the WGA Strike, I read the following in the Hollywood newspaper of record, Variety:

This past Sunday’s two-hour preem of the revival of campy sports competish reality skein “American Gladiators” pulled boffo demo ratings, and the Peacock is said to be prepping another two-hour “Gladiators” seg as a Plan B for Sunday night.

 ”competish”? “skein”? “boffo”? “demo”? “seg”?

Really, are Hollywood people so pressed for time they can’t take the time to spell out “demographics”? I guess it adds insult to injury considering the paragraph describes how Hollywood didn’t devote the time to create a new show and just decided to bring back ***sigh*** American Gladiators.

With a birthday 10 days from now, I found this oddly apropos.

Remember Winnie from Wonder Years? We all know where Fred Savage went (“MOL-E, MOL-E, MOL-E”), but Winnie was everyone’s pubescent crush.  So how does she look now? Well, as TMZ so discretely added, just click the picture below…

P.S. “All growed up”? You can pay for 35 on-call paparazzi but you can’t pay minimum wage for a proofreader?
