It’s hard not to love Neil Patrick Harris. And it’s nice that he and his partner David Burtka are going to be daddies to twins. But if you want the media to respect your privacy, maybe Twitter isn’t the best place to announce the news.

The gossip blog Radar Online released an exclusive report suggesting – complete with vagrant links leading to “Top Ten Celebrity Mugshots” and the Bristol Palin child support paperwork – that the resignation of Chief Justice John Roberts from the Supreme Court is imminent. It took about fifteen minutes for them to be forced into retracting the statement, but in exchange for some political credibility Radar won an all-important link on the Drudge Report and a small mention on Fox News, besides the internet wildfire of links all through the political blogosphere.

We’ve lived in a constant state of worry and fear, but now the day has finally arrived: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are splitting. (Maybe.) News of the World is reporting that the Biggest Celebrity Couple of All-Time© has signed the paperwork to share custody of their six children (they were never married) and split their gigantic pile of money. And it begs an important media question: At what level of fame does a celebrity couple’s breakup become legitimately newsworthy? Ever?

Get this: Angelina Jolie thinks Barack Obama is a “socialist in disguise.” This is according to an anonymous source, who provided many spicy quotes to Us Weekly. She also “hates him.” Does this doom Obama’s chances in 2012? Will this tear Angelina and Brad [Pitt] apart? And how does she compare to Megan Fox, anyway?
