Michelle Rodriguez has been released from jail. Again. Some of you may remember she was arrested in Hawaii for DUI, for which she spent a handful of days in jail. Turns out she was on probation when that happened. As a result, she was sentenced on May 22 to 60 days of hard time here in Los Angeles.
Her term began today. And it ended today. After serving 20 minutes of her 60 day jail sentence. Why? Overcrowding.
“Needless to say, our prosecutors are not happy about this,” says a spokesperson for the L.A. City Attorney’s office. “But the sheriffs have a policy to let some nonviolent offenders go early, in part due to jail overcrowding.”
Oh Michelle, you lucky devil you! Lets hope you’ve learned from your mistakes, and you go on to bigger and better things. Perhaps a return to The Fast and the Furious? Part 4 - The Faster and the Furiouser?

Game 4 between Lakers and Suns: crazy. Leave it to Kobe to make the game winning shot right at the buzzer, in overtime. Of course, for every 1 game winning shot that he has made, he has missed about 3. Lakers are up 3 games to 1. They’ll probably win the first round, but I doubt they’ll make it through round 2.

From abcnews.com:
Vice President Dick Cheney says he was looking at his notes, not sleeping, during a briefing by President Bush and Chinese President Hu Jintao in Hu’s first Oval Office visit.
I’d like to make a witty comment here, but I think the photo speaks for itself.
