HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Beyonce and Jay-Z were seen strolling through Havana this week, prompting a lot of Americans to urge an end to the U.S. travel ban to the island. Cuba has sugar, rum, and the world’s finest cigars. New Yorkers are swimming there to get away from Mayor Bloomberg.
New York Police arrested a man who was dressed in a Cookie Monster outfit Monday for pushing a two-year-old boy onto the sidewalk in Times Square. It was terrible. The cops pulled off his costume and to no one’s surprise it was Rutgers’ former basketball coach.
Louisville coach Rick Pittino got into the Hall of Fame Sunday, four years after his sex scandal that originated in an Italian restaurant.

He almost lost his job but the violinist is fielding offers from five Italian restaurants in New York and two porn studios in the San Fernando Valley.
The U.S. Navy sent U.S. ships to the Persian Gulf with a laser gun which can disable Iranian patrol boats. The beams don’t kill anyone. And since everyone knows lasers also remove unwanted body hair, these ships may attract a lot of Persian water skiers seeking freebies.
