News in a Flash


Madonna arrived in Malawi as part of a humanitarian mission to help African AIDS orphans, with Andrina Mchiela, the country's secretary to the minister for gender and child welfare, claiming that Madonna and Guy Ritchie will adopt a child from the region during her stay.

Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz pulling out of their much-hyped big screen reunion, the dramedy A Little Game Without Consequence, due to "substantive creative differences," per the Hollywood Reporter. It's the third Carrey film to get axed in pre-production this year. At least he has Jenny.

Barbra Streisand, who promised six years ago never to sing live again, is kicking off a 20-date, 16-city tour tonight. Make it stop already!

The company that makes In-Sink-Erator garbage disposals has filed suit against NBC, claiming the Heroes pilot, which features a girl placing her hand down the sink, flipping on the product and removing her mangled digits--only to have them quickly return to normal--"irreparably tarnished" their product by implying it could cause significant injury and also violated their trademark. First of all, who doesn't know that sticking your hand down a disposal will harm you and secondly, that was totally sick to watch and I hope they don't do it again.

Kevin Costner taking two former business partners to court over a battle for sole ownership of a South Dakota restaurant-casino which houses costumes donned in each of the actor's films. WTF?
