VIDEO: Tsunami Dog Is the Internet Hero of the Day
In the video below, a dog and her owner are reunited after being separated from each other by the Japanese tsunami for the past three weeks. The dog was found floating on a roof Friday and as a result of a TV news story about the rescue (included in the latter part of the video), her owner was able to track her pet down at an animal care center...

Britney Spears
There is a begrudging tone to Britney Spears' public persona of late. When she shows up to sing or perform or sit for an interview with MTV, as she did in last night's I Am the Femme Fatale documentary, you get the feeling that she just got done sighing and murmuring, "Time to make the donuts"...

This season of The Celebrity Apprentice has no shortage of extreme celeb behavior... thank God! A big part the show's entertainment value comes from getting to watch fame's absurd effect on real-life situations.

A few examples of the way fame intensified situations on this week's art-fundraising episode are below...

It's both harder and easier than ever to be punk'd on April Fool's Day, thanks to the Internet. With all of our ways of being connected, alerts warning you not to be fooled are everywhere.

Taken collectively, what emerges is Internet-wide self-parody that ribs technology's unrelenting forward march and online culture's obsession with product development. If there's truth in every lie, the best April Fool's Day e-pranks are just slightly distorted mirrors aimed back at us in a moderately fun house. Seven examples of truly clever work follow...

Meatloaf

Donald Trump
It's rare to see Bill O'Reilly play the even-keeled party in a debate about President Barack Obama, but he comes off downright fair and balanced in this clip from last night's episode of The O'Reilly Factor (that is, when he isn't commenting on "the Muslim problem").
In it (starting around 2:25 mark), "fairly" serious presidential hopeful Donald Trump continues banging his birther drum...
