The Rat's friends over at Anorak came up with this and many other examples of invasive-looking pat-downs, courtesy of the TSA. The Big Cheese stopped at this one, fearing what he might find if he'd continued perusing them. You, however, should feel free to do so.

For the one or two of you who don’t check Gawker… get a load of this NASA photo of the sun.
That smoky stuff in the lower left? According to the space geeks in Houston, it’s a 400,000 mile long “solar prominence.” Don’t ask The Rat. We’re clueless too. But it is a pretty picture. And there’s video… after the jump.

Desperate to keep her name & face all over the blogs, aging heiress Paris Hilton went Rolls-Royce shopping in Beverly Hills on Monday.
But the accused cocaine-carrying jet setter chose the cheapest of all Rolls models – the Ghost, base price $245,000.
The fading, soon-to-be 30-year-old socialite took the Ghost for a test drive, illegally chatting on her cellphone while behind the wheel (see photo, courtesy of Radar Online).
Then, Southern California’s living monument to all that’s wrong with America’s rich & famous drove the budget luxury car home to make sure it didn’t clash with the drapes before deciding if she’d buy it.
A better look at Paris’s potential ride, uncluttered by any bimbos behind the wheel, after the jump.

For God’s sake people, we had a good thing going!
Kim Kardashian and a handful of other annoying Hollywood types started “playing dead” on December 1st… no Twitter tweets or Facebook posts allowed until they raised a million bucks for charity.
For days they were virtually muzzled. No bull-twit from Kim about nephew Mason, or annoying 140-character crap about who she’s schmoozing or what she had for dinner.
But our sweet tweet relief came to a sudden end today… when Kim and her fellow celebritards finally hit the million-dollar mark in their fund-raising efforts, and the shameless self promotion and unbridled narcissism began all over again on the social networking sites.
Reports say it was the work of a pharmaceutical mogul who coughed up half-a-mil and brought Kim and the others back from the dead.
But why do we suspect that Kim herself wrote a fat check, so she could start bombarding followers with her self-aggrandizing bullshit?

The Rat’s going out on a limb here, but we predict wedding bells in the future for disgraced former senator and presidential candidate John Edwards and his mistress-slash-baby-mama Rielle Hunter.
Edwards’ estranged wife Elizabeth posted what seems to be a farewell message today on her Facebook page, after family members released a statement saying that Mrs. Edwards has ceased all treatment for her cancer, which has reportedly spread to her liver. Doctors apparently told her that any future treatment would be “unproductive.”
A source tells CBS News that she’s down to her last weeks — if not days — of life.
Meanwhile, reports that John Edwards sees the daughter he has with Rielle on a regular basis give us no choice but to assume that he also sees a lot of Rielle.
Then there are all those stories from Rielle herself about how John used to tell her about the big wedding they’d have after Elizabeth was out of the way.
Do the math.

One of the boys in the Rat Pack stumbled across this NSFW trailer today for next year’s Justin Timberlake/Mila Kunis vehicle “Friends with Benefits.”
Has she really been dating Macaulay Culkin for eight years?
Sorry. We digress.
Apparently the trailer’s been out there for a while, but since The Big Cheese hadn’t seen it anywhere, we’re treating it as though it didn’t exist before today.
It’s after the jump.

Give the girl a couple bottles of Grey Goose and she’s apt to go off on anyone.
At a weekend show in Jersey, Chelsea read one reveler in her audience the riot act. And she was only getting warmed up.
After that, Chels (a/k/a Jen Aniston’s BFF) tore in on Angelina.
Video, after the jump.

Nothing says you’re a has-been like having news of your wedding make the blogs… two weeks after it happened.
That’s the case with Partridge Family bad boy Danny Bonaduce and his manager-turned-bride Amy Railsback. They apparently got married on Maui November 22nd.
Even Danny’s former TV big brother, David Cassidy, is of more interest these days. Cassidy made headlines mere hours after a recent DUI arrest in Florida.

It’s the on-camera accident that has Bieber bashers everywhere wishing that Juvey Justin’s appearance on the German show “Wetten, Das?” had been scheduled just one episode earlier.
That’s the episode where a 23-year-old German student was supposed use his hydraulically enhanced shoes to jump over an Audi driven by his dad. The stunt fell flat on its face, as did young Samuel Koch, causing producers to cancel the episode of show on which Bieber was to be a guest.
Koch is pretty f’d up, with serious spinal damage that might even involve some permanent paralysis.
Despite that, you know you want to see it happen… a video clip is after the jump.
