Amid Closings and Cutbacks, a Modest Proposal to Save Our Courts
By Andrew Cohen - Politics DailyFederal court administrators announced a few weeks ago that they want to help their colleagues in courthouses around the country improve the quality and consistency of judicial websites, which have been notoriously user-unfriendly for years. This is a good step, and a needed one, and I wish court clerks and judicial technology experts everywhere much good luck with the coming transition. Easy, accessible websites are one of the most cost-effective ways in which the courts can remind people of the vital importance of the judiciary in their lives. That goal means more than ever now, at a time ...
Kate Middleton Dethrones Lady Gaga as Top Fashionista
By Monica Garske - AOL NewsLady Gaga has reigned as pop culture's most-talked-about queen of vogue for a few years, but the freaky fashion icon has been dethroned -- by a future princess, to boot. The Global Language Monitor, a company that tracks and analyzes word usage trends around the world, has just released its annual list of "Top Fashion Buzzwords" featuring the hottest topics and styles being discussed on today's fashion scene. The No. 1 buzzword is none other than "Kate Middleton," who's been thrust into the style spotlight ever since her engagement to Prince William was announced in November. Knock-offs of ...
Twitter Atwitter Over 'Jersey Shore' Premiere
By Yelena Shuster - AOL NewsSurge Desk hopes you've perfected your fist pump. The season three premiere of "Jersey Shore," America's favorite guilty pleasure, airs tonight on MTV, and everyone from celebs to random fans can't stop friggin' tweeting about it. The juiceheads and guidettes you've come to know and cringe at are back in Jersey, and with a twist. Snooki is bringing along her best friend, doppelganger and "partner in crime" Deena Nicole to the house, presumably because the show wasn't already raunchy enough. In a teaser for this season's mayhem, Deena wastes little time in taking her rightful place in the ...

By JJ Helland - AOL NewsNew York City to Snooki: fuhgeddaboudit. MTV wanted "Jersey Shore" star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi to drop down in a ball as part of a stunt to ring in 2011 in the Big Apple.

Zombie Sarah Palin and More Bizarre Halloween Costumes
By Larry Knowles - AOL News
(Oct. 21) -- What do you mean you can't figure out what to be for Halloween? Try this: Throw on a hard hat with a light, a pair of sunglasses and a jumpsuit. 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 ... Chilean? Then try going as teen heartthrob Justin Bieber. Don't worry if you're a woman. Bieber has that whole sexual ambiguity thing going on. It might have to do with the fact that he's only 16. Or the fact that the nonlicensed, unofficial ...

By not in system - AOL NewsA New Jersey judge verbally slapped Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi around in court on Wednesday, calling the 'Jersey Shore' star a "Lindsay Lohan wannabe" after she pleaded guilty to disturbing beach-goers with her sloppy antics during an afternoon of drinking in July. ...
Forget About Snooki, Frank Kermode and Tony Judt Have Died
By Paul Wachter - AOL News(Aug. 18) -- It's surely an indictment of Western culture that more people are familiar with Snooki of "Jersey Shore" than, say, novelist Jonathan Franzen, who isn't exactly obscure either, just having been featured on the cover of Time magazine. But for most scholars and writers, the only mainstream notice -- by which I mean a major write-up in a newspaper -- they're likely to get these days, if at all, is when they die. And in the past month, sadly, we've seen the passing of two formidable scholars and critics -- Frank Kermode and Tony Judt -- each of whom was closely associated with the ...
Snooki Arrested for Being Snooki: What Defines Disorderly Conduct?
By David Knowles - AOL News(July 30) -- New Jersey, we've got a situation. A legal one, that is. On Friday, reports emerged that Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, the star of the MTV reality show "Jersey Shore" (which just enjoyed its second season premiere the night before) had been arrested in Seaside Heights, N.J., for disorderly conduct. That got Surge Desk wondering just how police distinguished the alleged crime from Snooki's commonplace antics on the program, which can often be charitably described as "disorderly." "Jersey Shore," after all, is itself a drunken celebration of the loud lives of Italian-Americans as ...
