I remember hearing a joke on French radio in 1994. The rock singer Johnny Hallyday — not the brightest spark — was being sent up by a couple of comics. The one playing Johnny was asked what he thought of the conflict between the Hutus and the Tutsis. He replied that he liked U2’s latest album and he thought Dustin Hoffman was very good in the movie — so what was there to get upset about? Loud laughter. It was the sort of ghoulish playground joke that is made around the world as a knee-jerk response to some catastrophe, celebrity death or hideous accident, but it must have been aired before the full horror of the Rwandan genocide of 1994 was revealed.

The extended NBA offseason allowed John Wall to cash in on his burgeoning celebrity in ways that he never could have imagined just four years ago, when he was barely known outside of his home town of Raleigh, N.C. After a relatively successful rookie season with the Washington Wizards , Wall heard his name dropped in a popular rap song and found himself filming a promotional video for his shoe company, Reebok, with Grammy-winning producer Swizz Beatz and rappers Rick Ross and Meek Mill. He celebrated his 21st birthday in several cities, with hip-hop mogul Diddy and platinum-selling rapper Drake as special guests at a party in New York. Read full article > >

Newt Gingrich, the know-it-all former Speaker of the House who now rides atop the polls for the Republican nomination for president, has been shooting his mouth off lately. He called himself a celebrity who makes $60,000 a speech. Another favorite is, “I helped Ronald Reagan and Jack Kemp develop supply side economics.  I helped lead the effort to defeat communism in the Congress.” I didn’t realize communism in Congress was an issue, but I digress.
