Al-Jimzeera NewsFlash

* Just trying it on for size, don't mind me: Jim Jolie-Pitt. Jim Jolie-Pitt. Jimmy Jolie-Pitt. James Anthony Matthias Jolie-Pitt. Hmm.

* Seeing a dead bear in the back of some jackass' pick-up was great over my duck soup this afternoon. Truth is, no one would care if New Jersey became a bear sanctuary and all humans were driven out. Did my state motto win the contest? "We're not asking you to visit New Jersey, we're *telling* you to." ("Capiche" at the end optional). Why do I think this has to do more with the bear that ended up in Tony Soprano's backyard than anything else? Come on: bears are cute. Give them an exit off the Turnpike and let them open their own Target's and Ruby Tuesday's.

* I humbly offer my services to Comedy Central to bridge the Gap between commericals and Dave Chappelle's 3rd Season skits that they will repackage for Spring '06. "What's the matter with white people? Etc..." Could it be me & Sarah Silverman? In a hot tub. I hear she's into Jimmys.

* Tom Brady's on the cover of Sports Illustrated as "Sportsman of the Year 2005." Watch out for falling safes and pianos, Tom.

* Peter Gammons is reporting that Mark Grudzielanek will sign with the Mets this week to play 2nd base. *OK*.
