Rejected: Elizabeth Warren as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Much hand-wringing has been made in the liberal set about this one, yet as far as the crimes of Team Obama, this wouldn't even make the top 50. The actual choice was Richard Cordray, the former attorney general of Ohio, is a surprisingly good one.

Discovered (Maybe): The Large Hadron Collider may have found the sub-atomic Higgs boson particle, AKA the God Particle. What the hell is that, you may ask? Trust me, it's a big deal...

Farewell: The Pentagon's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy will be history on September 22. Good riddance.

Farewell: Border Books as their final 399 stores liquidate $700 million in merchandise. How times have changed: once despised as the corporate behemoth out to destroy independent bookstores, it is now missed as a brick & mortar where you could enjoy a good read while sipping on a great cup of coffee.

Farewell: Entourage may have the rest of its final season to wave goodbye, but a show that has become this increasingly addictive over eight seasons deserves special notice. Hug it out, bitches!

“They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no."

Last (but definitely not least) RIP to the tragically troubled but ludicrously talented Amy Winehouse. Despite being crippled with drug and alcohol addictions, as well as depression and eating disorders, she will always have her 2007 album Back to Black to be remembered by. She won five Grammys in 2008 thanks to it, including Best New Artist and Record of the Year for the more ironic than ever named "Rehab". She joins the curious "27 Club" of talented musicians who die at that age: blues legend Robert Johnson became the first famous member in 1938 and has been followed by Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain.

Jack White, Alicia Keys Bond Over 007 Theme
7-29-8
by Natalie Finn

Here's a match made in…a lab?

With Amy Winehouse long out of commission, Alicia Keys has signed on to lend her sultry, soulful pipes to the new theme song being readied for the upcoming James Bond installment, Quantum of Solace, by alt-rocker Jack White.

The male half of the White Stripes, who wrote and produced the tune, called "Another Way to Die," will also play drums. The film's soundtrack is due out Oct. 28, while the movie itself, the second 007 flick featuring hunky blond Bond Daniel Craig, hits theaters Nov. 7.

Keys' involvement in the production was first reported by E! Online's own Marc Malkin.

White and Keys' collaboration marks the first time a duo have tackled the Bond song, which hopefully will be more "Thunderball" (Tom Jones = suave and sophisticated) than "Die Another Day" (Madonna = Pierce Brosnan getting his ass kicked in a Korean prison).

The tradition of having a specialized theme harkens back to English cabaret star Matt Monro's treatment of the title song from 1963's From Russia With Love.

Hitmakers who have lent their vocals for the use of her majesty's secret service over the years include Paul McCartney and Wings ("Live and Let Die"), Carly Simon ("Nobody Does It Better" originated on The Spy Who Loved Me soundtrack), Sheena Easton ("For Your Eyes Only"), a-ha (the purveyors of "The Living Daylights" as well as '80s favorite "Take on Me"), Duran Duran ("A View to a Kill"), Gladys Knight ("License to Kill"), Tina Turner ("GoldenEye"), Garbage ("The World Is Not Enough") and, most recently, Chris Cornell, who crooned "You Know My Name" for Casino Royale.

U.K. pop stars Leona Lewis and Duffy were also rumored to be in contention for Quantum of Solace honors before the job was handed over to White and Keys, who are sure to add a certain "that sounds like a marimba!" je ne sais quoi to the 22nd Bond adventure.
