THESE are CNN's "Top Stories" this morning. I'm confused.
-Iraq to get legal custody of Saddam tomorrow

-CNN/Money: Fed meets to consider interest rate hike

-Deaths of 2 women near train crash probed

-Missing Oregon girl found dead in shallow grave

-Judge scolds tardy, dazed-looking Courtney Love

-Antarctic ice station likely to float away

-CNN/Money: New Harry Potter title revealed

ok fine, those are all important. ok, maybe Courtney Love isn't important, but I understand the need for the current gossip hook. But then:

-Mira Sorvino marries 22-year-old beau

Is it me who's out of the loop here? When's the last time anyone heard the name Mira Sorvino. I'm guessing it was about the time she was with Quentin. A million years ago? Why is Mira Sorvino's marriage one of CNN's Top Stories? We've got Sadaam, Dead Women, Dead Child, Ice Station Floats Away, Courtney's Still Crazy and in Trouble with the Law, JK Rowling makes another 40 kazillion dollars, and Mira Sorvino. Perfect. Also, as far as I can see, there's not one mention on the CNN homepage about the US Marine who was potentially killed yesterday. Just a thought...
