A lot of dating advice tends to be pretty bad. But this column on “How to Date a Wall Street Man” just took it a step further. The CNBC article is, as Daily Intel puts it, “not a parody.” But oh, how we wish it were.

Tonight at the Chicago Bulls-New Orleans Hornets game, Will Ferrell had the pleasure of announcing the starting lineups for both teams prior to the start of the game. As you would imagine, he didn’t hold back, tipping us all off to some little-known “facts” about each player.

Well, this is awkward. As you may recall, Apple was left with a bit of an uncomfortable PR situation late last year, after folks discovered that the iPhone’s friendly electronic helper, Siri, ‘refused’ to direct users to abortion clinics. As it turned out, no, there was not an anti-choice agenda behind Siri’s attitude — just crummy beta technology glitchiness.

We should have expected that not everyone would be a fan of President Barack Obama‘s fashiony fundraiser, Runway to Win. On Tuesday, the Republican National Convention released a video characterizing the fashion show and resulting product line, organized by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, as an elitist spectacle that recession-stricken Americans can’t afford to participate in.

Look out, rich dudes lusting for ladies, there’s a new breed of woman wandering about: the “piranha woman.”

On Sunday, the New York Giants defeated the New England Patriots, 21-17, in Super Bowl XLVI. It was the fourth Super Bowl victory in the team’s history. On Tuesday, the city of New York will honor the champs with a ticker-tape parade through the Canyon of Heroes, followed by a presentation at City Hall, where Mayor Michael Bloomberg will present the team with keys to the city. The party will continue into the afternoon, as the Giants will be honored at their home venue in New Jersey, MetLife Stadium.

Jane Velez-Mitchell‘s HLN show, which airs at 7 p.m., ended an era Friday night, as it was the last time “Issues” was used in the title. Starting Monday, it will simply be known as Jane Velez-Mitchell. On her final night with “Issues,” Velez-Mitchell pulled in 74,000 viewers in the 25-54 year-old demo, and 272,000 overall. [...]

There are so many different aspects of Madonna’s Super Bowl halftime performance that make it noteworthy: The fact that she looks as good in her 50′s as she did in her 20′s performing the same songs…

An explosion at The Washington state home of Josh Powell, long considered a “person of interest” in his wife Susan’s disappearance, has killed Powell and his two sons. The incident occurred moments after a Child Protective Services worker brought the boys to Powell’s Washington state home for a supervised visit.

As sports fans, we put a lot of stock in predictions. This includes when animals are the ones making the predictions. If a zebra has a proven track record of correctly predicting sporting events, we actually start to put stock in the zebra’s predictions. And since animals are about as trustworthy as ESPN analysts anyway, the practice of lions, tigers, and bears predicting the Super Bowl winner has become a time-honored tradition.

Last week, we explored the Suze Orman-sponsored prepaid credit card, a purple piece of plastic for which the financial guru has taken a lot of heat. She appeared on Piers Morgan Tonight yesterday evening, where, naturally, she defended the card. We’re not entirely sure we buy the defense though.

Look, we’re actual people here, and we think surveys are kind of annoying. But we want to get to know our readers a little better. So instead of one long, tortuous survey, we’re going to scatter them around in bits and pieces to make it less burdensome for those of you kind enough to help out. We may even tempt readers with promises of those vague $50 gift cards in the future.

Since 1887, a patch of land known as Gobbler’s Knob, in Punxsutawney, Pa., has been the weather prognosticating capital of the world for one day in February. That’s right, it’s Groundhog Day! At around 7:20 a.m., Punxsutawney Phil will determine how many more weeks of winter we have — which, considering it hit 60 degrees in parts of the Northeast yesterday, many not be such a bad thing.

As you all know, we here at Mediaite are desperately insecure and do everything we do purely for the positive reinforcement. That’s why we’ve never, ever, ever read our own comments section (there are mean people down there!). Fortunately, every once in a while, if we’ve been good, the big boss man sends us a nice email talking up our traffic numbers. However, that’s not enough for us. We crave more. So, like an obnoxious Ivy Leaguer “casually” dropping their alma mater into conversation, we’re going to “casually” mention the email Dan Abrams sent out today…by publishing it in full on our site.

The rivalry between Al-Masry’s and Al-Ahly’s football clubs is one of the most hotly-contested in Egypt, but fan tempers ran tragically high – resulting in the deaths of over 70 people and counting – after Al-Masry beat Al-Ahly 3-1 today in Port Said, Egypt. Al-Masry fans stormed the pitch after beating what’s described here as Egypt’s best team, and according to a security worker, in some cases threw objects like stones and bottles at the rival fans.

A Rolling Stones museum in northern Germany had the totally and completely hilarious idea to install a set of urinals in its men’s room shaped like the band’s iconic “lips” logo. Unfortunately, the urinals ended up looking more like women’s mouths than anything else. Oh dear.

While we’re not actually in Davos for the World Economic Forum, we feel confident making a few assumptions about the legendary conference’s attendees.

Dante Autullo was working on a ladder in his Orland Park garage when he lost control of a nail gun and accidentally smacked it against his head. He texted a photo of the small scratch on his scalp to his fiance Gail Glaenzer, and thought nothing more of it.

Well, that’s unsettling: The Internet has unearthed this photo of Mythbusters stars Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage posing with pint-sized simulacrums of themselves.

“Dear Mr. Williams: We just watched the Playoff game. I feel really bad for you but I wanted to tell you that you had a great season.”

Today’s sign of the ovapocalypse? “Chick Beer,” the beer for women, is expanding nationwide faster than you can say “marketing ploy.” Because women everywhere need beer designed for ladies.

With Davos kicking off and the State of the Union address just behind us, it’s safe to say we all want to know what’s going through Treasury Secretary Timothy Geither’s head right now. And Trish Regan, a veteran financial reporter and the co-anchor of Bloomberg television’s “Street Smart,” has the scoop.
