FAMOUS WILLS
Not sure what it says about me, but Court TV has assembled a list of celebrity wills ranging from Princess Diana to Elvis. The famous wills are in the public domain. They are filled with fascinating tidbits, such as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis didn't leave a penny to her sister...

ELECTORAL COLLEGE MAP
PBS created a very cool interactive Electoral College Map and clear understanding how it words. Since today is Election Day (Please tell me you voted...) thought it was appropriate to list this. Lycos searches for Electoral College are up 115%.

Triumph The Insult Dog...
...after the 3rd Presidential Debate. If you haven't seen Conan O'Brian's awesome 'reporter' you are missing out on something. What is even more wild however is how Triumph ever got access to the leading political pundits following the Presidential Debate. Watch Triumph

FLY OVER YOUR HOUSE
OK this is the coolest thing we have seen in a while. This company Keyhole, just acquired by Google takes satellite images and flies you from one address to another.

It is a 7 week trial download and then you have to pay. It's worth a trial. You can lose a day playing with it.

Feel like Superman... Zoom to street level.

PIC OF DEPP AS WILLY WONKA
The ever reputable, always accurate, London tabloid The Sun has the first picture of Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. Rather than being a remake of the 1971 Gene Wilder film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Burton's movie will reportedly be a more faithful adaptation of Dahl's novel.

See the new Willy Wonka

The film is based on the book by Roald Dahl and scheduled to open, July 15, 2005.

ASHLEE SIMPSON'S SNL DISASTER
If anyone had a chance to watch this week's SNL Saturday night hosted by Jude Law with musical guest Ashlee Simpson, you would have seen a big no-no during Ashlee's second tune.

What should have been a star-enhancing performance, became a pop star's worst nightmare. Supposedly a mix-up in the sound room started feeding in lip-synched audio from 'Pieces Of Me' that she had already sang earlier in the live show.

LYNNE CHENEY'S PULP FICTION
Who knew the Second Lady wrote pulp fiction, titled Sisters...The novel of strong and beautiful women who broke all the rules of the American Frontier.




This is a joke, but it feels like the official site of the White House to see for yourself.

BOWLING FOR SOUP
Have you heard the latest single from Bowling For Soup? From their 7th album, A Hangover You Don't Deserve, the smash single that we are obsessed about is "1985". The single is #34 on Billboard's Hot 100 and #14 on the Top 40 Mainstream airplay chart.

Plus this Grammy-nominated group has recorded a remake (and video) of the Gilligan's Island theme song for TBS' new reality series, The Real Gilligan's Island, set to premiere on Nov. 30.

BLOOD IS THINNER THAN OIL...
...well that is what a new web site Bush relatives for Kerry says. These are second cousins of the president but it is unclear if they have ever met him.
