Filmmaker Psychs Out Psychics and ET Believers
By Monica Garske - AOL NewsMany of us have given a few bucks to some alleged psychic to tell us stuff we already know, but what if you spent your entire life savings looking into the future, attempting to contact ghosts and protecting yourself from aliens? That's the premise behind filmmaker Blake Freeman's newest documentary, "Gawd Bless America," in which he travels across America with a 69-year-old "believer" named LeRoy Tessina who's gone bankrupt after years of buying into fraudulent fortune-tellers and alien-protection devices. In hopes of setting Tessina straight, the duo set out on a weird cross-country ...

By Larry Knowles - AOL News

Then wrap yourself in the Chilean flag and, Presto! You're a rescued Chilean miner. It's the perfect costume -- you get to run around yelling in Spanish and hugging people all night long. Too ...

Or the fact that the nonlicensed, unofficial ...

The Indy 500, Once a Memorial Day Staple, Continues to Lose Relevance
By John Walters - AOL NewsCheck out the two photos above and then get back to me: One of these men just won his second Indianapolis 500 on Sunday. The other is Borat. One of them is married to a successful actress. So is the other. If you still don't know which is which (that's Sacha Baron Cohen, Borat, in the green jumpsuit and Dario Franchitti in the red), that may be due to the fact that more people have watched "Talladega Nights" since its release in 2006 than have viewed the Indy 500. At least it feels that way. Sunday's Indy 500, which in my 1970s youth was a staple of everyone's Memorial Day afternoon, ...

After being lured to a Washington DC hotel room for an interview with Austrian television, and, after experiencing lighting difficulties, Paul was directed to a separate bedroom where the show's host entered and, well, I'll let Slate take it from here: Finally, Paul asks what's going on. "Don't worry about it, Dr. Paul," says Bruno, who then unbuckles his belt and drops his pants. At that point, Paul snaps up and storms out of the room.
