"You know who's not invited to my party?" Madonna asked fans at her October 6th concert in New York City. "Sarah F*cking Palin!"
And she was just getting started. We're not going to get into detail, but uh, let's just say we don't think Madonna will invite Palin to a girl's night out anytime soon.
Watch and then we'll reconvene below. [Bonus track: Madonna cussed a fan out for not enjoying her show enough before she even got started with Palin.]
Flashback to high school. If Madonna and Sarah got in a fight in the school cafeteria, you're money would be on... ?
Seriously. What do you think about Madonna's attack on Sarah Palin? Appropriate or no?
Julia Allison must be so excited! The White House is pink!
Paris Hilton is surely pleased as well. Afterall, she was first to suggest painting The White House pink back in August, when she released a "campaign attack ad" targeting rivals John McCain and Barack Obama. (Yep, Paris is running for president. Kind of.)
The White House was lit pink Tuesday night to commemorate breast cancer awareness. Explained First Lady Laura Bush at the lighting ceremony, "In recognition of the mothers, daughters, sisters and wives who struggle with this disease, we're lighting the White House in pink, which is the color of the cause. May our lights tonight shine as beacons around the world, a signal of the United States' commitment to saving lives from breast cancer."
Now that's hot.

Campaign 08:
If the election were held today, Barack Obama would take the cake, says Republican strategist and former Bush advisor Karl Rove. [The Los Angeles Times]
The heels are on and the gloves are off! Sarah Palin said that Obama is the kind of guy who would "pal around with terrorists." Palin was referencing Obama's acquaintance with Illinois college professor William Ayers, who participated in a radical group in the 60s when Obama was a child. The Obama campaign responded that Palin's remark was "offensive" but "not surprising." [The Los Angeles Times]
Sad news. Jill Biden, wife of veep candidate Joe, lost her mom, Bonny Jean Jacobs, on Sunday. Joe has cancelled all campaign events Monday and Tuesday. We send our condolences to the Biden family. [The Washington Post]
Barack Obama is expected to benefit from a huge increase in new voter registrations. Democrats outnumber Republicans in new voter registrations 2 to 1 in Florida, 4 to 1 in Colorado and Nevada and a whopping 6 to 1 in North Carolina. [The Washington Post]
Barack Obama is a big baller, shot caller. [The Los Angeles Times]
U.S. News:
The House gave a thumbs up to the $700 billion economic bailout Friday, passing the revised bill 263 to 171. Nonetheless, the Dow fell 157 points in response to beak economic reports, including news that 159,000 jobs were lost in September. [The New York Times]
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that he will run for a third term. One little snaffu: New York City's term limits forbid a third term. No sweat, says Bloomberg. He'll just get city council to change that. [The New York Times]
Book writers are designing video games to attract young readers to their books. Some experts believe that these video games will increase kids' interest in reading, while others fear kids will skip the book and just play the game. (Uh, ya think?) [The New York Times]
World News:
The European economy is not so hot either. Financial markets plummet as banking fears spread. [Times Online (UK)]
