The CIA recently thwarted Al Qaeda’s plot to bring a bomb aboard a U.S.-bound airplane. Details are still emerging, but it’s been revealed that the device was a new kind of underwear bomb. (And we still hadn’t tried the old kind yet! This is just like the iPhone releases!) The whole story raises more questions than answers, however…
Why "The Avengers" Made $200 Million Last Weekend
THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX OFFICE DEPT.
Over the weekend, The Avengers shattered all box office records, raking in over $200 million domestically. Why were so many Americans willing to shell out their hard-earned unemployment checks to go see a bunch of guys in Spandex blow up stuff?

Similarities Between The Avengers and One Direction
GROUPSTINK DEPT.
Two of the hottest things in entertainment today are The Voice and The Hunger Games. Unfortunately, we don’t have anything funny on either of them.

As we mentioned earlier, a version of Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” sold for $119.9 million — that’s the most ever paid for a work of art at auction! To give you an idea of just how much $119.9 million is: if you had 119 million $1 bills and stacked them one on top of the other…it would be a better use of time and money than whatever Michael Bay would do with the same amount of cash! Still — what makes this particular smear of pastel so special? As usual, we’ve got the answers…

Reasons Why Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom Will Get a Divorce
SPLITTING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS DEPT.
Rumors have been swirling that Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian’s marriage is in trouble and that, any day now, they’ll announce they’re getting a divorce! But that’s crazy talk — they’d never announce that! Not when they could do a special episode of their show and milk the news for all the money it’s worth! And when they do, here are the...
Celebrity Snaps: Candice Bergen
PICS OF THE LITTER DEPT.
If Candice Bergen does return to TV as Murphy Brown, we hope she's gotten over her grudge. We can't afford to lose any more copies of MAD this way.
