Every 4 years the world gathers together in a spirit of harmony to embrace the open theatre of competition and athleticism that is the Olympic Summer Games. What they also do is remind us that some of the most sculpted and otherwise stunning looking men on the planet participate in these events. Case in point is 18-year-old English diver Tom Daley. For 99% of the human population Speedos are a HORRIBLE idea. Tom is the 1% folks!
Sometimes we all need reminders of what a sweet old big beautiful world this can be. Today’s memorandum comes in the form of one precious little week-old hedgehog taking a nap. Take a deep breath, relax and enjoy the peacful glee that is the following 42 seconds. As a bonus I added an older clip from the same YouTube user of another little guy getting a belly rub and yawning. You’re welcome.

Louis Freeh to conduct an independent investigation of the school in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.

Katie Holmes just quickly settled a surprise divorce from Tom Cruise, and although there’s a lot of speculation that Tom’s fervent involvement with Scientology caused a huge problem problem for the marriage, especially as far as daughter Suri is involved, the Church of Scientology is said to have not been involved in their settlement negotiations.

Things went from bad to worse in an Osceola courthouse on Monday where Jason Clair, accused of murdering two brothers, who is using Florida’s controversial Stand Your Ground law as a defense, was in a hearing. Members of both the accused and the deceased families were on hand as some were there to testify but the hearing was postponed so that new gun evidence could be used. In what proved to be a serious lack of planning, both families were escorted out of the courtroom and were waiting in the same small lobby when tempers boiled over. See the footage and get the details behind what happened that would have made it seem obvious not to have these two families herded together into a confined space.
