Starting this fall, the penny will vanish from Canada. The US government should do the same.

A friend of mine sent me this Alter Ego via Twitter. Doug is a money manager. He writes: “I know we manage people’s dough, but I’m not sure the barista knew that. It’s Doug, silly.”

I give Mariya Dmitriyenko full marks for keeping up a look of pride in a moment of silliness. At the Arab Shooting Championship, the winner stood on the podium for the medal ceremony and instead of hearing Kazakhstan’s real national anthem she heard the obscene anthem that had been made up for the “Borat” movie.

How would you react if you knew the world was about to end?  That’s the central question in Abel Ferrara’s movie “4:44 Last Day on Earth.”  It arrives in theaters on Friday, and I have a small role in it.

Danielle Smith wants to be premier of my home province of Alberta. To kick off her campaign she had a tour bus wrapped with a photo of herself. Unfortunately, her head and torso ended up directly over the back wheels.

I guess I can give away my not-so-secret secret now that Disney says it’s about to crack down on “abuse” of the Fastpass. The truth is, I am one of those abusers.

Now that it’s over and my nerves have settled, here are my favorite things from my first visit to “Live! with Kelly.”

Yes, there’s a show after the show. The one where I stared at Kelly Ripa’s breasts.

Richard Huff made me the subject of his TV column today in the New York Daily News. We talked earlier in the week about my appearance with Kelly Ripa tomorrow on “Live.” One of his questions was whether I thought this would turn into a more permanent gig. To that, all I had to say was what I’ve been repeating to myself: that for now it’s a one-day affair.
