Afternoon headlines

JESSICA SIMPSON – says that, despite reports to the contrary, she’s “extremely, extremely happy” about Nick Lacheys engagement to Vanessa Minnillo. When asked for a comment, Jessica said, “I assume there will be cake at the wedding, is that correct?” When asked for a more specific comment, she said, “The cake goes in my tummy.” (us.com)

TRAVIS PASTRANA – who has 16 XGames gold medals, 2 motocross championships and the last 4 rally car championships, is moving to NASCAR in 2011 to drive for the newly formed Pastrana-Waltrip Racing team. Sounds to me like he only got the gig because of nepotism. (twitter)

VETERANS DAY – is today, and while many know about heroes like Salvatore Giunta (who will receive the Medal of Honor 5 days from today, the first living recipient since Vietnam) or Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock (ever hear the story about a sniper who shot another sniper through his own scope? That was Carlos), here’s 8 other animals who should be as famous. What they lack in notoriety, they make up for in video-game like killing power. (uproxx)

ALESSANDRA AMBROSIO – was of course the hottest one at last nights Victorias Secret fashion show, because she’s the single most perfect looking girl on earth ever. I would fuck this girls shoe.
