1. A Swiss court announced Monday that it would not extradite director Roman Polanski to the U.S. on child rape charges dating back to 1977. The U.S. did not supply Switzerland with court documents it requested leading the Swiss court to drop the extradition process. U.S. authorities however say Polanski may come voluntarily when he realizes that the United States is still a very young nation.
2. Former Miss USA contestant Carrie Prejean was married last week. Prejean created a controversy during the Miss USA pageant when she said marriage should only be between a man and a woman. Meanwhile, in a perfect world, it was discovered that Carrie Prejean's new husband has a detachable penis.
3. During the senate confirmation hearings of Supreme Court nomination Elena Kagan, Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar asked Kagan which of the Twilight hunks she preferred, the vampire Edward or the werewolf Jacob.

4. An L.A. times poll shows that 12% of those responding believe the latest Twilight film will not only be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, it will win. In other news, basic comprehension skills testing has been dropped from U.S. public school curriculum.
5. A drag racer in Seattle died on Sunday when his automobile's parachute came off mid-run causing him to crash. Perhaps strapping yourself into the thinly padded metal cockpit of a vehicle built only for travel in upwards of 300MPH isn't the "five star Consumer Reports" idea we thought it was.
High five.
