1. The Swedish cartoonist who four years ago drew Mohammed as a dog was assaulted during a lecture at Uppsala University by a man yelling "God is great!" in Arabic.

2. A 24 year old Florida woman says Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola from MTV's Jersey Shore attacked her in a club over the weekend after talking she talked to Giancola's man. "She exchanged bad words at me," said the woman. "I exchanged bad words back. She hit me twice in the face." When reached for comment, MTV called the allegations absurd and in a statement said, "Anyone who knows Sammi knows she in fact doesn't know any words at all."
3. Texas governor Rick Perry is being criticized by watchdog groups for spending more than $600,000 in tax payer money on what some consider an overly extravagant lifestyle. This includes funding parties, high end furnishings and a $1,000 "emergency repair" of the governor's filtered ice machine. Translation: the governor's "filtered ice" servant was sent back to Mexico in the wake of heated immigration debate and Governor Perry had to buy an actual ice machine.
4. Tiger Woods' mistress Rachel Uchitel is set to pose for Playboy next month. Uchitel says we'll finally see a side of her that has yet to be seen. Oh, so fully clothed then?
5. The new Miss USA Rima Fakih is being investigated by the pageant's parent company after photos surfaced of the 24 year old in a pole dancing competition, which she won. Officials say Fakih isn't in any trouble, they just want her to supervise while they install the pole for next year's Miss USA competition.
High five.
