  • Hugo Chavez and George W. Bush agreed to peacefully settle their differences after Bush agreed to appear on a future edition of the Venezuelan president’s weekly TV show.
  • Brazilian Catholic Church officials agreed to drop their opposition to condoms on the condition that priests are allowed to bless prophylactics before they’re used.
  • Move over Thomas Beattie; Ricky Martin revealed that he was the world’s first “pregnant man.”
  • Shakira broke off her engagement to Antonio de la Rua and announced that she has the hots for Argentine First Daughter Florencia “florkey” Kirchner.
  • A new remake of the 2002 film “Frida” will be made starring Lindsey Lohan in the titular role.
