Paul McCartney has teamed up with automobile industry giant LEXUS [1] to create a new Signature SUV hybrid. The new car (which gets 30 mpg), features rear seat DVD players, a state-of-the-art sound system, and, yes, Paul McCartney's autograph on the car's exterior. The new vehicle has been very well received and sources say LEXUS shareholders are thrilled the company didn't give in to McCartney's request that it be called "The Walrus."

Celebrated environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has spoken out once more [2] against global warming [2] skeptics and those who consider the warm weather in the northeast a blessing, emphasizing the disasterous results the warmth has had on birds and other wildlife.

Rumors suggest that the doubting trio haven't yet responded to Kennedy's criticism because they're enjoying a balmy January sunbathing trip somewhere in the Yukon Territory.
