Page 1 Consider (01/29)

  • Chelsea, Lately: Andrew Hampo catches up with the late-night funny woman and talks vodka, Oscar specials and her new book, "Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang." (AdAge)
  • State of Her Union: Tracey Ullman does a mean Rachel Maddow -- and an even better Arianna Huffington. (MSNBC)
  • Powertool: WWE wrestler Chris Jericho was arrested early Wednesday morning for public intoxication. Sadly, I wasn't his cellmate. (NYDN)
  • Repealing DADT: The Pentagon has been studying ways to integrate gays into the military and, for the first time, will offer recommendations to Congress next week "on a way forward," defense officials said Thursday, following President Obama's declaration that he wants to repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" law this year. (WaPo)
  • Pimp My President: I'm glad racism is not an issue in the energetic "Tea Party" wing of the Republican Party. TeaParty.org's e-mail fundraising solicitation -- "Obama Pimping Obama-Care, One Last Time!" -- could have just as easily been done on Clinton or Bush, right? (TPM)
  • Minimum Requirement: A branch of the retailer Tesco has requested its customers not to shop in pyjamas or bare feet. I didn't even know Florida was in Wales. (BBC)
  • Bullet Buffet: Is Indiana a different country or something? (It's all CRAZY, especially the last post.) (Fat Like Me)
  • Beholden: RIP, J.D. Salinger. Yes, I too was one of those kids whose life was profoundly affected by your work ("Catcher" and "For Esme," too). Deal with it. (NYT)
