Sears, taking care of the jobless

Sears Holdings Corp., the largest U.S. department-store chain, will let customers who lose their jobs suspend payments and keep appliances bought with store credit cards in an effort to bolster sales in the recession.

Customers who spend at least $399 on appliances and related merchandise between July 6 and Aug. 1 will have one-twelfth of the purchase price credited to their account for every month they are out of work, said Larry Costello, a company spokesman. Those who are jobless for more than a year will have the full debt forgiven, he said. The offer period may be extended, he said.

Mo gets his 500th save and first RBI

Mariano Rivera has 500 saves—and one precious RBI.

Guess which feat he was most excited about.

On a New York night that belonged to baseball’s most unflappable closer, Rivera became the second reliever to reach the 500-save milestone when the Yankees held off the punchless Mets 4-2 Sunday for a Subway Series sweep.

He joined Milwaukee’s Trevor Hoffman(notes), who has 571 saves, as the only major leaguers with 500. The biggest surprise, though: Rivera drew a bases-loaded walk to add a ninth-inning insurance run.

“I had one thing in mind—just try to do something,” Rivera said, before expounding on his save. “Don’t get me wrong, it’s definitely special.”

Michael Jackson's kids not even his?

Michael's stunning wife says: "I was just the vessel. It wasn't Michael's sperm. Just like I stick the sperm up my horse, this is what they did to me. I was his thoroughbred."

While she was pregnant with Prince Michael, MJ wanted to marry Debbie so they could look like a perfect family. They never sexed it up together or even kissed on the lips.

"I know I will never see them again. I was never cut out to be a mother - I was no good. I don't want these children in my life. My children are my animals now."

RIP Billy Mays

Mays, 50, was found unresponsive by his wife inside his Tampa, Fla., home at 7:45 a.m. on Sunday, according to the Tampa Police Department.

Police said there were no signs of forced entry to Mays' residence and foul play is not suspected. Authorities said an autopsy should be complete by Monday afternoon.

Atlanta Braves pitcher breaks hand, GOES BACK OUT TO PITCH

Atlanta reliever Jeff Bennett said he punched a door after an inning, and was in such a state of anger, he couldn’t remember doing it until he saw the dent.

The bone was broken all the way through, and a bump rose beneath the skin. Bennett said he pushed the bone back into place, didn’t tell anyone what happened, and went back out and pitched the seventh.

He gave up a homer to Nick Swisher in the seventh but made it through the inning. About 30 minutes later, Bennett finally told a team trainer what he had done. He said he waited because he was afraid and embarrassed.

Soundgarden getting back together?

SOUNDGARDEN are in talks to launch a comeback, according to Shinedown rocker Brent Smith.

The band split in 1997 and former frontman Chris Cornell recently admitted he would "never count out" the idea of a reunion, after previously insisting there was no chance they would get back together because it would never live up to his expectations.

He said, "My fear would be that we wouldn't tap into the greatness we felt when we were on our game."

However, a mini-reunion of former bandmates Kim Thayil, Ben Shepherd, and Matt Cameron at a gig in Seattle, Washington, in March (09) forced Cornell to rethink his future - and now Smith reveals plans have been set in motion.

He tells Britain's Kerrang! magazine, "There's talk of a reuniting of Soundgarden in the States soon. I know actually someone specific who told me that, who is actually specifically in their organisation. Kinda told me that they're talking about it."

Cornell went on to form Audioslave after Soundgarden split, before carving out a solo career for himself.

Mr. McMahon died shortly after midnight at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center surrounded by his wife, Pam, and other family members, said his publicist, Howard Bragman. Mr. Bragman didn't give a cause of death, saying only that Mr. McMahon had a “multitude of health problems the last few months.”

I wonder which film it was...

A hardcore pornographic movie was accidentally screened at PS 17 in Brooklyn, N.Y., school officials said.

Students from five classes at the school had assembled to watch "Camp Rock," a Disney Channel movie starring the Jonas Brothers, but after a teacher powered up the DVD player and walked away to get the Disney movie, a skin flick began to play, the New York Post reported Sunday.

The students, some as young as 5-years-old, were exposed to 45-seconds of sex acts in the incident late last month, the newspaper said.

3 tattoos, 56 tattoos. Tomato, tomotto.

18-year old Kimberley Vlaeminck from Kortrijk, Belgium, has pressed charges against a tattoo-artist. She asked for 3 stars but the tatoo artist tattooed 56 stars on her face without her even noticing. 'Look at me, I'm ugly,' she said. The girl is afraid to show up at work. Kimberley is in shock.

Last Sunday she went with her father Diego, her boyfriend and her sister to the tattoo shop Tattoo Box in Kortrijk. She always wanted to get 3 dots tattooed next to her left eye. Her dad wanted even to pay for them as a family tradition.

David Letterman apologized on Monday for making a sexually charged joke about one of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's teenage daughters, as a group of Palin supporters planned a rally demanding the late-night TV show host be fired.

"I told a joke that was beyond flawed, and my intent is completely meaningless compared to the perception" of the joke by viewers, he said during Monday's taping of "Late Night with David Letterman," according to a transcript given to Reuters.

"And since it was a joke I told, I feel that I need to do the right thing here and apologize for having told that joke," he said. "It's not your fault that it was misunderstood, it's my fault."

Crooked ref Tim Donaghy gets attacked in prison

Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy was attacked by a fellow inmate during his 15-month sentence in federal prison, the Los Angeles Daily News reported Thursday.

Pat Zaranek, a spokesman for Donaghy, told The Associated Press on Thursday that the former referee, serving a 15-month sentence in a gambling scandal, was struck in the right knee with a "paint-rolling stick" in November.

Zaranek, of Executive Prison Consultants, says Donaghy expects to be transferred from the camp in Pensacola, Fla., to a halfway house in Tampa next week.

Up your testosterone through porn!

Watching pornography may be the best prescription for the five million American men who suffer from clinically low testosterone.

Recently, drug companies have begun pushing testosterone-boosting products onto the public. But since studies have shown just having an erection produces a significant natural burst of testosterone, biological anthropologist Helen Fisher bluntly suggests males should "go on the Internet and look at porn" as a kind of hormone-replacement therapy.

Wasting money by saving money!

In these days of e-everything, a letter in the mail means more than ever.

Propriety. Time taken for a well-thought-out gesture.

But that's not what people got from a letter sent by Seattle School Superintendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson last month.

The letter informed members of the teachers union that if they didn't agree to losing one day of work next year to help the district compensate for lost state funding, they wouldn't have a job in September.

It's bad enough that the district ignored procedure, went around union officials and straight to the teachers, who protested that move (and the layoffs as well as the one-day cut or else), in front of district headquarters last week.

But there's also this: The district sent the letters by certified mail, at $5.63 a pop.

So for 3,300 members of the teachers union, the district spent $18,579 to say it didn't have any money.

David Carradine: Masturbation or Suicide?

After a maid found David Carradine's body in a closet in his Bangkok hotel room, police called it a suspected suicide. But the actor's manager refuses to believe it.

"I can tell you 100 percent that he would have never committed suicide," Tiffany Smith, who along with Chuck Binder managed the Kill Bill star, tells PEOPLE. "He was too full of life."

Carradine, 72, was in Thailand filming the movie Stretch when his nude body was discovered Thursday morning. The body was in a sitting position, with a yellow rope wrapped around the neck and attached to a closet bar, said police Col. Somprasong Yentuam, chief of the Lumpini area station. "We believe that Mr. David committed suicide but it is suspicious," said Yentuam.

College education, clearly working out for everyone

Even as colleges nationwide celebrate commencement season, hundreds of schools are failing to graduate a majority of their students in six years, a report says today.

Nationally, four-year colleges graduated an average of just 53% of entering students within six years, and "rates below 50%, 40% and even 30% are distressingly easy to find," says the report by the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank. It's based on data reported to the Education Department by nearly 1,400 schools about full-time first-time students who entered in fall 2001.

Florida strikes again!

DAYTONA BEACH -- Two suspected bank robbers were arrested after their getaway car ran out of gas.

Randall Walker, 38, and Jason Dietrich, 34, are accused of robbing the Riverside Bank on South Nova Road around noon Tuesday.

The teller says one of the men demanded cash and said he had a gun.

The teller complied, and the suspects took off in a Jeep Cherokee. But the vehicle ran out of gas on Bellevue Avenue.

Dietrich was taken into custody when he came back to retrieve his vehicle. Walker was arrested at his home, after he reportedly paid a passerby $50 to take him there.

You know you're screwed up when the Octomom is mocking you

Yes, Kate Gosselin, star of the reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8," and Nadya "Octomom" Suleman, who apparently is about to get a reality show of her own, have delightfully begun sniping at one another.

Gosselin fired the first shot back in February in an interview with Dr. Phil, during which she questioned Suleman's ability to raise 14 children on her own, including the eight she had in January. Gosselin noted she often grew exhausted raising her eight children, despite having what she said was strong support from her husband Jon (insert skeptical snort here, if you wish).

In a video posted on RadarOnline.com Tuesday, Suleman sneered that Kate Gosselin should stop judging her and deal with her own faltering marriage.

"It's done. I've moved past my 'mistake,'" said Suleman, framing the word "mistake" with finger quote marks. "She has her own obvious issues, internal issues, and she needs to stop partially making judgments towards me. She doesn't even know me. ... That's human nature. Tends to happen to people who are less educated. I surround myself internally and externally with positive energy. She does the opposite."

DANGER: STRIPPER SHOES AHEAD!

Michael Ireland was seated at Cheetah Nightclub on Sept. 28, 2008, when he was struck "suddenly and without warning" in the face with the leg or foot by exotic dancer Sakeena Shageer.

Now he's suing the club and dancer.

Twenty-eight-year-old Shageer - also known by her stage name "Suki" - is a registered exotic dancer in Palm Beach County.

Ireland's lawyer says the kick may have been unintentional and accidental -- but nonetheless Ireland, a local businessman, was seriously injured. He suffered broken bones around his eye and in his nose and now has permanent double vision. Ireland's had one surgery and will have to have another.
