Actor Zach Galiafinakis did the unthinkable when guest starring on the Real Time with Bill Maher. He lit up a joint and smoked a few puffs right there on set! The arguement of leagalizing marijuana in the state of California was the topic, and to prove his point, Galiafinakis gave the audience an example of the contriversial drug.
Above all other news stories and entertainment stunts that I have read about, this tops all. He actually smoked a joint, on national television, in front of a large audience! What was he thinking? I personally love his comical films. His unexpected sense of humor cracks me up everytime. His action was suprising, but not the least bit unexpected. In a way, I respect him for his courage to stand up for what he believed in, no matter what the circumstance. But there is a line between stupidity and proving a point and however amusing his actions were, he was very close to crossing that line.

Mel Gets the Boot
Everyone remembers that classic movie, The Hangover. It's helarious lines and quotes are used in almost everyone's everyday conversations. It's just never going to get old. Knowing this, then you would probably understand why Mel Gibson is so upset after being replaced by Liam Nesson because of his crazy outbursts against his ex-girlfriend. Wouldn't you be sorta upset if you were booted from the cast of one of America's favorite movies?
an insider says that that, "He doesn't understand why Mike Tyson, a drug user... who turned his life around, was given a chance while Mel was kicked to the curb. Everybody deserves a second chance." Gibson is battleing custody of his daughter at the moment and this kick to the curb is just one more thing that the enraged Gibson does not need.
Honestly I think it's kinda helarious. I mean Gibson, come on, you're just craving the headlines. Don't get me wrong, I love your movies such as Braveheart and The Patriot, but hey you're getting up there in age, I think its time to just hang in the towel. Or maybe pull yourself together.

Rutgers
Suicide? It is never an easy word to hear. You always wonder why or how someone could bring themselves to do such a thing; For 18 year old Rutgers University student, Tyler Clementi, it was cyberbullying. After being secretly recorded by his roommate and a friend, having sex with another male, the video was published online. Clementi found the video and was beyond humiliated. He then killed himself on Sept. 22 by jumping off New York's George Washington Bridge. Now the students responsible for the bullying are hiding and refuse to defend themselves publicly.
Is cyberbullying the real cause of this young man's death? I believe it is, but the question is, what is to be done about it? Is it a federal crime? Should it be a federal crime? Students who humiliate and torment others to the point of suicide should definitely not be taken lightly. It is a serious crime, simply another form of murder in my opinion!
These student intentionally posted the video and it was intended to cause damage to Tyler. Maybe they were not aware of the crazy twist this "prank" would take, but they should be prepared to take responsibility for their actions and stand up and take the blame for what has happened. Just think of the family right now, knowing that the suicide of their loved one is a result of another's carelessness and torment. It would be wrong not to consider it a federal crime.
