A pedicab operator and a taxi driver got into a brawl in the middle of traffic in New York City near Times Square Monday morning. A local Fox News crew happened to be there and captured the fight on camera. Ahhh, good old New York.

Politician Cameos in Best Wedding Slideshow Ever
If you're going to ask your friend to make your wedding slideshow and you want it to be "different," make sure he doesn't have crazy Photoshop skills. Or that he/she isn't the biggest fan of the man who can't get enough of looking at his own image on TV.

SNL Vs. Obama: Sketch Details All The President's Failures Since Taking Office (VIDEO)
In case you missed it this past weekend, "Saturday Night Live" opened its show with a particularly harsh send-up of President Obama last night. The critique focused on failed promises, as a checklist repeatedly appeared to the right of the screen that had "NOT DONE" checked off next to the following categories: global warming, immigration reform, gays in the military, limits on executive powers, torture prosecutions, closing Gitmo, withdrawing from Iraq, improving the status of the fight in Afghanistan, health care reform, etc.
"There are those on the right who are angry. They think that I'm turning this great country into something that resembles the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany, but that's just not the case. Because when you look at my record it's very clear what I've done so far and that is nothing. Nada. Almost one year and nothing to show for it."
While the president is three and a half months shy of his one year mark, we get the point. The sketch made clear that this is a critique of Obama from the left: "I just don't see why the right is so riled up, I mean how do you think the left feels. They're the ones who should be mad." And the writers pointed out that with a super majority in the Senate, getting his agenda through shouldn't be a particularly difficult undertaking.

Tyler Perry Reveals Childhood Abuse in an Open Letter
With less than a month to go before the emotional and uplifting film 'Precious' opens, executive producer Tyler Perry decided it was time to open up about his own personal demons. "I'm tired of holding this in," he wrote in a long and revealing letter on his Web site. "I don't know what to do with it anymore, so I've decided to give some of it away."
In the letter, Perry recalled some of the most painful memories he faced as a child, and the beatings that his mother endured at the hands of his father. He also recalled an incident of what appears to be molestation at age 10 by the mother of a childhood friend, and he also mentions being molested by a man at an unspecified age. "I got a call not long ago from a friend. He told me that a man that I knew from church when I was a kid had died and...his family was trying to reach out to me to see if I would pay for his funeral. I quickly said no, but I wish I would have said yes. There is something so powerful to me in burying the man that molested me. I wish I would have dug the grave myself."
He also tells of the time his mother tried to leave his abusive father when he was just a tot. "She loaded me and my two sisters up in an old Cadillac that he had bought for her, and drove to California. When he realized she was gone, he called the police and reported the car stolen, as it was in his name. My mother was arrested, and my two sisters and I were put in the cell with her. He and my uncle drove from Louisiana to California to get us. We spent several days in jail waiting for him. He bailed her out and couldn't wait to get her into the car. He got into the back seat with us and beat her black and blue from California to Louisiana, as me and my sisters watched. Even though I was only two or three, I know that this had to have some effect on me."
'Dancing With the Stars'' Kelly Osbourne Reveals Body Spray Burns
Newly svelte Kelly Osbourne performed a well-received Samba on "Dancing with the Stars" last night, even planting a kiss on partner Louis van Amstel to cap off the spectacle.
But what really had people talking was Osbourne's Twitter page, where she revealed a photo of an angry-looking armpit which she claimed had been "burned" by a popular deodorant body spray.
"Never ever use impulse body spray from the UK i sprayed it on myself and now have really bad burns all over my body gentle on skin my a**!" she tweeted.
Osbourne said she had to alter her "Dancing with the Stars" costume to hide the unsightly marks.
Impulse Body Spray has been on the market since 1972. Originally introduced in South Africa, the "perfume deodorant" is now the UK's "number one female body spray fragrance," according to Unilever.
As for what could have caused the reaction, a study by the CDC suggests that two of the body spray's ingredients could be to blame: "Oxidized limonene and linalool are common allergens in dermatitis patients tested consecutively in Europe," the site stated.
Dr. David Bank, a Cosmetic Dermatologist, says "Fragrance is the number one cause of contact skin allergies, and can certainly cause rashes for some people. Look for fragrance-free of hypoallergenic products to minimize the chance you'll have a reaction."
Perhaps fellow Unilever brand Dove deodorant would have been better on the star's sensitive skin?
Did Swine Flu Sideline David Boreanaz and 'Bones'?
Here's another mystery for the sleuths of 'Bones': What was the bug that benched Booth (David Boreanaz), shutting down production on the Fox crime procedural Monday for the first time ever while the actor recuperated?
The initial rumor, spread by none other than show runner Hart Hanson, was that Boreanaz had swine flu. But both Hanson and 'Bones' production company rushed to quash that rumor, insisting that the 40-year-old actor simply suffered from garden-variety flu, and that production would, with luck, resume on Tuesday.
Hanson started the swine flu fears on his Twitter feed on Monday morning, tweeting, "First time in Bones history we are shut down from production. Damn swine flu! That's gonna cut into Christmas hiatus."
All My Children fallout: who's in and who's out
Ever since the announcement that All My Children was leaving New York, moving from the studios where it's been shot since the premiere in 1970, the big question among fans has been who will be staying with All My Children when it moves west... and who won't.
The good news is that Susan Lucci has decided to stay with the show, even if she's not giving up her New York home. Susan, as well as costar Vincert Irizarry, have decided to commute to Los Angeles, with AMC arranging the schedule to make it more convenient for the veterans.
There's bad news, however, and it involves three big AMC stars. Thorsten Kaye, who plays Zach, has decided not to relocate. In addition, Beth Ehlers (Taylor) and Aiden Turner (Aidan) have been let go. In other words, they have not been invited to go west.
For Turner, the dismissal came as a shock. He was called into the executive producer's office and given his pink slip. It was story line dictated, the show claimed, but more likely it was a cost-cutting move. The same is probably true for Ehlers, however in her case it's more disheartening.
The five-time Emmy nominee joined AMC in 2008 after 21 years on Guiding Light with high expectations that her character, Taylor, would be a major player in Pine Valley. After over a year on the canvas, however, Taylor remains virtually unattached to any other characters and her story lines have never truly been integrated. In point of fact, she is an expendable character.
Ehlers could easily find another job -- she's that good -- but probably not for the kind of money she received before the recession hit. Here's a look at one of her better moments on AMC:
Finally, there's Thorsten Kaye. He's chosen not to move for personal reasons: his long-time partner, Susan Haskell, has a full-time gig on One Life to Live playing Marty. The couple are raising two children and he has expressed his desire to stay with his family. "I am not the kind of dad who wants to be 3,000 miles away from my kids," Kaye told the New York Daily News.
Rumor has it that Kaye's character, Zach, will be killed off. As for Aidan and Taylor, no word yet on how they'll be written out.
If it were up to you, what would you do about the Zach Slater issue since Kaye is definitely not the answer. Also, which character would you like to see return to All My Children?
