Is Dr. Phil Winning or Losing the Natalee Holloway Case Battle?
By David Lohr - AOL NewsThe question of who is winning a courtroom showdown between Dr. Phil McGraw and two Surinamese brothers in the Natalee Holloway case may be up in the air at the moment. However, the TV star's attorney is in a take-no-prisoners mood responding to recent media articles that suggest his side is losing. "The problem with these f---ing things [is] they get a life of their own," Dr. Phil's attorney, Charles Babcock, told AOL News. Babcock also accused the Aruba tourism industry of financing the suit against his client, which the country's tourism agency denied. The latest developments in the case ...
In DC, Everything Is 'Robust' Even When It Isn't
By Laura Parker - AOL NewsWASHINGTON -- The economy may be anemic and federal spending slashed, but inside the Beltway, the word these days for all things in the era of austerity seems to be robust. Call it subliminal messaging, but the word that everyone would like to attach to the phrase "economic recovery" is instead hitched to everything but. It describes the Treasury Department's effort to repair its image, the Pentagon's investigation of WikiLeaks. Never mind that politicians use robust when the reality is the opposite. The space shuttle is being mothballed, but Florida Sen. Bill Nelson talks about the robust ...
Kate Middleton Invites Hometown Folks to Royal Wedding
By Andra Varin - AOL NewsSarah Ferguson doesn't merit an invite to the royal wedding -- but the guy who runs the pub in Kate Middleton's hometown does. And so does the local butcher. And the mailman. And the couple who own the local convenience store. Middleton has invited some of the folks from her hometown in Bucklebury in Berkshire, south-central England, to watch her say "I do" to Prince William. The locals won't be attending the reception at Buckingham Palace or the after-party, but they will be among the 1,900 people watching the royal wedding in Westminster Abbey on April 29.

Pete Wentz: 5 Fact About Ashlee Simpson's Soon-to-Be Ex [VIDEO]
By Torie Bosch - AOL NewsJust in time for Valentine's Day, we have a big celebrity divorce: Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz. Simpson-Wentz, the singing/acting younger sister of Jessica Simpson, and the 31-year-old Wentz married in 2008. Wentz -- who, according to TMZ, Simpson said was too "erratic" -- tweeted about Simpson-Wentz and their 2-year-old son Bronx just two days ago. .bbpBox34658359537831936 {background:url(http://a1.twimg.com/profile_background_images/58859374/get_japansese.jpg) #9AE4E8;padding:20px;} p.bbpTweet{background:#fff;padding:10px 12px 10px ...
Mel Gibson as Metaphor for What Ails America
By Delia Lloyd - Politics DailyOK. Here's my guilty summer confession: I can't get enough of the Mel Gibson scandal. Let me preface this post by saying that I'm hardly one for celebrity gossip. I have no idea who Justin Bieber is. I don't care whether Jennifer Aniston wants kids or not. And despite former Politics Daily colleague Emily Miller's compelling argument for why we should all be taking The National Enquirer more seriously, I can't stomach tabloids. Still, when it comes to the ongoing Mel Gibson saga, I can't look away. And I suspect I'm not alone. And that's because Gibson embodies a whole bunch of different ...
