Well of course the
Pope. We love the Pope, and we love him even more now that he's dead, but this is not a Pope diary. I swear.
So what are the other top stories at CNN today? The DeLay scandal? The Senator Martinez confession that his staff wrote the Schiavo "Talking Points" Memo?
Well, you'll have to go to the flip to find out:
Well it's something crucial to the American public and the fate of the free world: Cat fight at the
Desperate Housewives Corral!
They may appear sultry and ready for summer on the May cover of Vanity Fair, but according to the magazine, the stars of ABC's hit show "Desperate Housewives" were actually steaming angry.
Vanity Fair's cover proclaims: "You wouldn't believe what it took just to get this photo!"
The article acknowledges that the poolside photo-shoot, in which the five women appear in different colored bathing suits, was manned by an ABC representative who was to make sure that certain demands were met -- including that Teri Hatcher didn't select her wardrobe first or appear in the center of any group photo.
"Whatever you do," the ABC rep, who wasn't identified by name, said when he arrived on the set, "do not let Teri go to wardrobe first."
Despite the rep's plea, Hatcher was the first "housewife" to visit wardrobe, and she had consulted with the stylist days in advance. At one point, the rep proclaimed: "This is a problem. I'm getting text messages from Eva (Longoria). Everything is not fine."
The struggles continued once the photographer started snapping. Redhead Marcia Cross turned red-hot when she saw Hatcher standing next to her in the center of the shot, according to the article. Cross grabbed her bathrobe and stormed off, spewing expletives at the ABC rep.
Hatcher later walked to the other end of the set, where "she got into a tearful, heated conversation on her cell phone."
In the fold-out May cover, which hits newsstands April 12, the center position belongs to Nicollette Sheridan, who's flanked by Hatcher and Cross with Longoria and Felicity Huffman posed beneath them on a chaise -- although Cross and Huffman can't been seen when the cover is folded.
Also in the article, the women discuss the media blitz surrounding the show and its stars. Huffman believes a "Desperate" backlash is imminent while Cross just ignores it all.
"Honestly, I don't read it," Cross told Vanity Fair of the media coverage. "And I don't even watch the show right now. It's too much. It's just too much..."
Yes, well, that was pretty important. More important than Delay. But not as important as this story, which was really, really important:
If Congress passes an energy bill, Americans may see more daylight-saving time.
Lawmakers crafting energy legislation approved an amendment Wednesday to extend daylight-saving time by two months, having it start on the last Sunday in March and end on the last Sunday in November.
You want Delay? You think CNN should have at least something about the Delay scandals in it's headline section? If you must, scroll down to the US Politics section, you crazy liberal character assassin you! Why you're just as bad as that seedy, old liberal media always trying to bring a good man down with mere rumor and innuendo:
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay defended his family Wednesday, saying newspaper articles about his wife and daughter and about his trip to Russia were "seedy" efforts by the "liberal media" to humiliate him.
Oh, and that GOP Schiavo memo. What memo? I don't see nothing bout no memo here boss.
At least not as of 9:49 AM EST.
