The Express is a free newspaper I get at the subway stop, which is distributed by the Washington Post. I read it on my commute in to work. Here's what I found interesting in today's news: * There was a feature on Valerie Harper doing a show playing Tallulah Bankhead. Rhoda Dahling! Hard to imagine. I think I'll pass.
* There also was a feature about Neil Patrick Harris hosting the Tony Awards on Sunday. It talked about his interest in magic. How adorably nerdy. I will be watching the Tony's and rooting for Billy Elliot.
* Sacha Baron Cohen is being sued by a woman claiming to have been injured after struggling with the star during the filming of his upcoming film, Bruno. I have to say that although it was claimed to be staged, I think the MTV Award stunt with Eminem was real and they came up with the story it was staged later so Eminem wouldn't look like such an ass (much like the one in his face).
* FEMA is developing a plan to use vacant houses in Florida in foreclosure as shelters for people fleeing hurricanes. Shane and I are considering buying a house in Florida, because they are incredibly cheap, but I'm worried this might increase demand and raise the prices. Too self-centered? Perhaps.
* The FDA approval for a drug to treat malignant dog tumors comes about 3 years too late for my Chloe. We're talking about getting another dog.
* Inventor Kenji Kawakami demonstrates his funnel glasses. He's a genius. I can never get the damn drops in my eyes. I also like the idea of his "Hayfever Hat" that dispenses toilet paper from a dispenser on your head. That sounds like high fashion.
