935 Lies. Trust him, he counted. (If you can't get the video to play on this site, check it out here).

We would like to thank Huffington Post for bringing this to our attention. And to Gawker for posting it.

Bill's doing his best Mommy Dearest impression here. Pretty good. He could have used cue cards as to not mix up a loofah and a falafel. But that's a whole other youtube clip.

UPDATE: Our sister blog TVNewser has a quote from O'Reilly himself about the clip. He told them, "That video was just me practicing for my conversations with Geraldo."

Uh...we don't get it. But your attempt at deflection is noted and dismissed as feeble.

We're guessing a grad student from San Diego State?

Somehow we came across this thank-you from BriE for posting her Tom Cruise video spoof in January. No idea how we missed this, but fish kisses right back at you.

We're fairly certain the New York Post could give a rat's ass about the troubles in Sunnyvale involving Yahoo's CEO Jerry Yang and co-founder David Filo. But when copy editors get the chance to write headlines like:

BUNCH OF YAHOOS INVESTORS MAY YANK YANG, FILO OVER DOUGH

they take it.

From our tips jar: Web of Deception by Joseph Culligan is reporting Peter Chernin has given Hillary Clinton $4,600 and Dems $12,500. Presumably on purpose.

Is it real? And if it is, does it matter? As one news organization might say, "We report, you decide."

Freelance entertainment journalist/author/funny woman Joal Ryan has started up a shiny new blog dedicated to a very niche media obsession that has served her well over the years: former child stars. Scoff if you want to, but her blog posts are more addictive than Doritos (and we're going to guess, better for you, too). Ryan tells FBLA a bit about the philosophy behind Former Child Star Central.

1. What inspired this? The day Dana Plato got arrested for holding up a video store in Las Vegas. I don't know, something changed. Honestly, this began as a goof, and ended up as my niche because people really care about what happens to the people they grew up with, whether the people be former classmates or former child stars.

I originally intended to have fun with the subject, and I still do. But since former child stars are far too easy to make fun of, I find it's more interesting to actually think through the stories.

And, by the way, I've since visited the locale where Plato pulled her botched heist. Reality checks always spoil the fun because there's nothing funny about imagining someone reaching the end of their rope in the desert. In a strip mall.

2. What do you do to research this stuff? I'm a very good Googler. Also, I'm very fortunate to have a readership that's kind enough to pass along tidbits every now and then.

3. Who are your top three favorite former childhood stars?
The three quintessential former child stars are: Gary Coleman; Gary Coleman; and, Gary Coleman.

Pardon us while we sick ourselves.

We are trying not to be Diablo Cody haters. But sometimes she makes it difficult.

See, Twitter was designed for 12-year-olds to text all their BFFs all the time with all the inane details of their daily lives. So when people that we think are interesting or people we think should be interesting do it - they reveal how lame and boring we ALL are without re-writing or editors. It forces our hand and we have to make fun of them. They leave us no choice.

See for yourself.

Our sister publication TVNewser interviews FNC's Greg Gutfeld (man, that guy'll talk to anyone) about what it's like to work the 3 a.m. time slot. He talks positively about it, but we've got to guess he'd rather not have the same office hours as junkies and whores. No?
