Celine Dion has had to cancel this week’s concerts at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas theatre because she is suffering from sinusitis. “What an awful shame,” said thousands of women with tickets. “Dodged that bullet” said their husbands and boyfriends.

Roger Clemens, who Mindy McCready said she had a 10 year relationship with, starting when she was 15, issued this statement today about her death by suicide: ” Yes, that is sad news.

And for that matter, at least four people are dead in a Orange County, California shooting spree that started at a home and ended up on the freeways. Waiting for NRA statement saying we should start driving with hands-free guns.
