It’s crazy how everybody can sit and talk about rehab but if I come to say Christ was my rehab, it’s not cool to say that. … For me that’s my rehab. That’s what happened with me and it’s an amazing and powerful thing.
Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu • KoRn’s bassist. He quit drugs and alcohol cold turkey after his father told him his dying wish was for the dude to find God. He’s the second guy from KoRn to go all Jesus freak – Brian “Head” Welsh quit the band and went religious loudly and with much criticism from fans. Fieldy could be setting himself up for the same, as the admission comes with a new book. • source
Twitter is actually great. Don’t listen to the haters who claim that all people ever do with Twitter is tweet about how they’re going to use the bathroom. It’s a great, versatile communication tool, and has largely taken the place of the chat rooms of Internet past. (Sorry, mIRC. We were good friends back in the day.) We’ve even made some good friends through Twitter. But we do have one problem with the site: Its overuse as a social marketing tool.

Social marketers must die. We agree, Twitter’s a great promotional tool. We use it ourselves to tell people about our latest updates. And it tells people when we’ve last trashed on U2. And we even chat with them! But then there’s users like @MikeKlingler and @DiyanaAlcheva. Both of whom have over 15,000 followers. Both of whom followed us today. Both of whom we’ll never actually communicate with. For the love of God, stop ruining a good thing!
As we work toward developing a new policy to govern detainees, it is essential that we operate in a manner that strengthens our national security, is consistent with our values and is governed by law.
Attorney general Eric Holder • On the administration’s new policy of holding detainees, which differs heavily from the Bush administration. They plan to stop using the term “enemy combatants” and say that international law governs the detention of terrorism suspects – and it isn’t like Guantanamo Bay, which they plan to close. • source
A warrant is out for her arrest. The star, who went from critically-acclaimed actress to laughingstock in less than a year, has a warrant out for her arrest stemming from a 2007 DUI charge. She’s currently on probation for her second DUI conviction. She’s only like 22, by the way. Girl’s been busy. source
26,500teachers received pink slips before the Sunday deadline to receive them. California’s public education system needs to swallow $8 billion in budget cuts, but many of these pink slips will likely be rescinded. They must be having fun right now. source
He can suck an egg, seriously. He’s probably butt-ugly and always wanted a girlfriend that looked like Barbie but could never get one. People like that really annoy me.
Khloe Kardashian • On West Virginia lawmaker Jeff Eldridge, who introduced a law attempting to ban Barbie (and other beauty-based dolls) from store shelves, claiming that they encourage a false belief that looks are everything. Kardashian is a really hot celebutante, by the way. • source
