Is it wrong that I still have a bedroom closet filled with stuff over at my mom’s house? It’s mostly just paperbacks, textbooks, yearbooks, trophies, certificates, and other memorabilia from my school days.

Houston Astros pitcher Shawn Chacon was placed on waivers today, following a well publicized incident in which he grabbed the team’s GM Ed Wade around the neck and threw him to the ground. According to Chacon, this happened after Wade started yelling and cursing at the player in public (in the team’s cafeteria or something). Apparently, Wade got in Chacon’s face and wouldn’t back down even after Chacon repeatedly asked him to stop.

Wow, that Spears family is really something. Britney’s younger sister Jamie Lynn gave birth to a baby girl in Mississippi today — at the age of 17.
