REBEL FORCES TOOK OVER TRIPOLI

(via)

Colonel Gaddafi's regime is on the verge of collapse today after rebel forces took control of much of Tripoli over the weekend.

As of last night, 90 percent of the capital city was in the hands of rebels, and Gaddafi was reportedly hiding in a bunker on the outskirts of the city.

Colonel Gaddafi's son, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, is currently in the hands of rebels, who are in talks with the International Criminal Court to arrange a handover so that he can stand trial for human rights violations.

Ibrahim Dabbashi, Libya's ambassador to the UN, said that Gaddafi would be gone "within hours," adding, "This is not the beginning of the end—it is the end."

SOME PEOPLE DIED AT SOME AIR SHOWS

(via/via)

An RAF Red Arrows pilot died Saturday when his plane crashed during an air show in Dorset. A day later, the man in the above photograph fell to his death while attempting to jump from a biplane to a helicopter at an aerial display in Michigan.

Can people please find a new way to entertain themselves that doesn't involve people taking risks really really high up in the air?

TONY BLAIR SAID SOME STUFF

(via)

As if the indignity of being forced to cancel his second holiday in one summer wasn't enough, David Cameron faced a fresh blow on Sunday after Tony Blair claimed that statements the PM had made earlier in the week were "muddle-headed."

Last week, Cameron said the recent riots were the result of a "slow-motion moral collapse," adding that parts of society were "sick."

However, in an article for The Observer, Blair said the trouble was caused by a minority group of youths whose role models "are drug dealers, pimps, people with knives and guns, people who will exploit them and abuse them," but that they were not representative of society as a whole.

Also, Tony used the term "highfalutin wail." Which is pretty funny.

AND THEN THE WORLD FINALLY RAN OUT OF STUFF TO REPORT ON

From the Daily Mail:

"Former Scrubs star Donald Faison is engaged to long time girlfriend Cacee Cobb. Cacee, the best friend of Jessica Simpson has been dating the actor since 2006. The couple broke the news via Twitter with tweets quoting Beyonce Knowles' hit song, Single Ladies."
