Cruise/Holmes Show off Baby

Suri Cruise, the newest addition Tom Cruise's and Katie Holmes' family, is being dragged along with Cruise into the spotlight. Cruise and Holmes were interviewed in Vanity Fair and included a large photo shoot of the baby.

The magazine was flooded with letters from people who were angry at Tom and Katie (or "Kate", or Tom believes she should be called) for forcing their baby to be dragged into their crazy little world of glitz and glamour. People were also a little ticked with the magazine for actually allowing the photoshoot to be published.

Tom Cruise, who is a baby himself when it comes to people making fun of him, is trying to take legal action against one person who commented on the shoot by saying "Freaks should not be allowed to have children."

Maybe it was just a general statement...
Nobody said anything about Tom Cruise...

Crocodile Hunter Dies

After making us laugh with his insanely natural and calm way with deadly animals, Steve Irwin (better known as the Crocodile Hunter) has died. He was killed September 4th, 2006 when he was pierced in the heart by a sting ray near the Great barrier reef off the shore of Australia. Irwin was filming his documentary film on ocean life.

In 1992, Irwin married Terri Raines from Eugene Oregon, in the United States. The pair had met a few months earlier when Terri had visited the zoo on a holiday. Together they had two children: a daughter, Bindi Sue Irwin (born 24 July 1998), and a son, Robert Clarence "Bob" Irwin (born 1 December 2003). Irwin was as enthusiastic about his family as he was about his work. He once described his daughter Bindi as "the reason he was put on the Earth". His wife Terri once said, "The only thing that could ever keep him away from the animals he loves are the people he loves even more."

Although this blog was originally created to spite these animal people (mostly Paul McCartney), Steve Irwin is really an exception. He wasn't trying to save animals that were bred and preserved for food; like seals, moose, cows, etc. He was protecting endangered animals and educating people at the same time. If all biologists were as entertaining as this guy, school would be so much cooler. Steve was a really great guy, and a did so much to benefit the environment and all that good stuff.

They will be setting up a memorial fund in Steve's honour, called "The Crikey Fund", which will support wildlife protection, education and conservation.

Pilot Locked Out

A pilot on Air Canada Jazz stepped out of the cockpit for a couple minutes to take a leak. When he came back, he discovered that he had locked himself out of the cockpit. The crew had to take the door off its hinges to get him back inside. Apparently, there was a co-pilot flying the whole time... why he didn't open the door, I don't know. Either way... quite funny.
