Are You Smarter Than a Chimp? (Hint: No)



Monkey business: Chimps beat college students in a short-term memory game, affirming once and for all that the kids who are lured in to psychology studies by the promise of candy truly are the dumbest on campus.

Minor flirtation: Debra Lafave, the randy reading teacher who had sex with a 14-year-old student, is arrested for violating probation by chatting with a 17-year-old restaurant co-worker on several occasions and is facing house arrest. Play date!

Plastic surgery disasters: High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale—the one you haven't yet seen naked—joins the plastic Hollywood ranks and gets a new nose, citing a deviated septum and "literally" not being able to breathe out of the right side of her nose as reasons for the procedure. "I didn't do this because I believe in plastic surgery," she says.
