This map shows all the star systems that lie within 12.5 light years of our Sun. Most of the stars are red dwarfs - stars with a tenth of the Sun’s mass and less than one hundredth the luminosity. Roughly eighty percent of all the stars in the universe are red dwarfs, and the nearest star - Proxima - is a typical example. click to make bigger

bob barker is finally retiring. the viewers are psychotic.

Bob says, “I thank you for inviting me into your homes for more than 50 years,” Barker said in the closing moments of the show, nearly drowned out by cheers from the audience. “”This is a very emotional time for me,” Barker said. “This is the first time since I was 21 years old that I didn’t have a show.” He declined to talk much about his immediate future, except to say, “I’m looking forward to being bored.”

Some fans traveled across country for his final taping.

“When we heard that this was Bob’s last show, we said we had to get out here,” said Ryan Gagney, 29, of Oakland, Maine.

paris hilton is officially out of jail after having served three days from a 45 day jail sentence. more proof that the justice system in LA sucks balls for celebrities and she will now officially be drunk behind a wheel within twelve hours again.

Update: apparently she was released because her medical problems were purely psychological and not physical. she was having a nervous breakdown and bouts of depression. no shit sherlock, that’s what jail is supposed to do. you’re supposed to not like it. that’s why it’s jail and not your local club med.

Paris was apparently suffering from severe panic attacks and depression, where she even became suicidal. Towards the end of her stay, Paris began, what others call, a nervous breakdown. Her psychiatrist was so concerned for her well being they did everything possible to get her to a place in which was comfortable for her and her health.

apparently people are pissed off too. LA County public officials are not happy about it. The president of the LA Sheriffs union says that this kind of treatment for celebrities is typical under the reign of Sheriff Lee Bacca.

“There appears to have been preferential treatment. This is not the first time that this has happened. Remember Mel Gibson. On any given day, a thousand female inmates are in custody. Why is one case, out of the blue, treated any different than them?”

And L.A. County Supervisor Don Knabe says:

“This incident with Paris Hilton is just the most recent that highlights the problems our criminal justice system has with making sure sentences stick, whether it is in a County jail or under electronic monitoring.”

Meanwhile, professional pain in the ass Al Sharpton had this to say:

“…this early release gives all of the appearances of economic and racial favoritism that is constantly cited by poor people and people of color. There are any number of cases of people who handle being incarcerated badly and even have health conditions that are not released. This act smacks of the double standards that many of us raise…”

The only good news is that Nicole Richie is set to face a judge soon about her DUI and maybe the backlash from Paris will cause everyone to go nuts and overreact with Nicole. They’ll all want to look like they’re tough, so they’ll just load Nicole into a little rocket and then shoot her directly into the sun.
