• How not to stave off a lawsuit: The Sun, the tabloid being sued by Heather Mills for allegedly printing lies about her divorce with Paul McCartney, strikes back by getting Kate Moss's opinion on the Mills-McCartney proceedings: "Claims in Heather's leaked divorce are 'utter bullshit'."

• Cash, charge, or espionage? A New Mexico trailer park drug raid gets crazy when the search turns up some Los Alamos documents. Apparently, a contract employee of the nuclear lab is somehow linked to this methamphetamine cook. At least they didn't find missing plutonium, which we hear provides a long-lasting, mind-blowing, clean high.
• Bigger than Elvis: Nirvana's Kurt Cobain out earned Elvis Presley in Forbes.com's list of top money-making dead celebrities.

Forbes also looks at future revenue streams for the late rocker, including a special November episode of CSI: Miami, which will prominently feature Nirvana songs, and a possible twentieth anniversary edition of Bleach.

• Actor, 2006-present: K-Fed's going to be starring in his very first film, a "Shakespearian street hip hop movie." Just another section to add to his Wikipedia entry, which already states that "Kevin was diagnosed with severe mental retardation."
