Beanie Babies, I’m back after a long hiatus in Costa Rica (unfortunately no Mel or Britney sightings and very little free internet) and am living it up in Madrid. Hopefully there’ll be a Catherine Zeta-Jones encounter on her way to Mallorca.

Sooo news, cheating husbands galore this week. Former presidential hopeful John Edwards not only allegedly has a mistress in California, but a love child as well! And then the craziest of all, Matthew Broderick was caught cheating on SJP with a little-redheaded side-dish. Well, guess this means he’s not gay.

Speaking of redheaded vixens, Mad Men, the most buzzed about, least watched drama ever, premieres its second season this Sunday. Get prepared for more drinking, smoking and philandering. And of course the best part, voluptuous firecracker, Joan.

Ford Motor just posted an 8.7 billion dollar loss because no one wants to buy gas guzzlers anymore. Sucks for Ford, but good for you America! Ford will now start producing smaller more gas efficient cars, a strategy that everyone wins with in the long run. Meanwhile, although the British International Motor Show features green innovations, such as a car made out of hemp, a shocking number of huge gas guzzlers are also on display.

Leave it to iTunes to bring arguably the most sexy redcoat to the U.S.—David Tennant of Doctor Who fame—without the wrapping, packaging, and dvd cases that ultimately end up in landfills. Instead, all you need to do is hit the download button to see the time-traveling Brit and his spunky companion Martha (Freema Agyeman). While not a household name in America yet, Tennant’s accent, charisma, and googly eyes position him to become the next romantic leading Brit in the tradition of Colin Firth and Hugh Grant.

The first episode of the third season, “Smith and Jones,” is a great introduction to the series and a fun place to start. I mean, who doesn’t want to see an old granny vampire suck people’s life force out with a straw and then giggle? Absurd? Of course! But when your hero runs around without his shoes on, warthogs are intergalactic police, and the only way to save the day is just to unplug the bomb, who needs things to make sense? So, get your ipod ready with a solar-powered recharger, and enjoy not having to wait in line for The Dark Knight… again.
