  • Sandra Bullock and husband Jesse James are planning to tear down the home that was the subject of a legal dispute in 2004 (over a little mold). They're going to rebuild on the same property. People still love her, though- she's almost as popular as she was in 2002.
  • "Mustang Sally" writer and Soul Man Wilson Pickett dies.
  • We know it's unseasonably warm in Austin. But hey, don't dive into the lake head first! The water levels are really low right now- the lowest they've been in six years!
  • The Seaholm Power Plant was approved earlier this week for construction. Now they're taking it a wonderous leap forward and are planning to make it green!
  • Bin Laden threatens to attack our "homeland" but also proposes a truce.
