A lot has happened since the last installment of Pop Bites on 8/22. Joe Biden and Sarah Palin are our veep nominees, football season is in full swing and hurricanes are ravaging the coast. It’s certainly turning out to be an unpredictable year. But anyway, on to today’s interesting headlines …
1. Britney Spears won big at the MTV Video Music Awards last night, taking home three silver Moonmen. She likes shiny things.
2. In case you needed yet another reason to zone out on a Monday, Rolling Stone posted “The 25 Funniest Web Videos.” You can thank me later.
3. After an explosive summer (and, really, what could top Dark Knight‘s hype?), the fall box office is off to a historically slow start.
4. Madonna, obviously a lapsed Catholic, dedicated a concert rendition of “Like a Virgin” to the Pope.
5. Stephen Colbert will send his DNA into space. And don’t worry, I’m sure he doesn’t really know why, either.
