Oddities, Strangeness and Curiosities in the Blogosphere
The blogosphere presents a cornucopia of oddities today, including actor Tom Cruise (today's second most-blogged personality), whose release from Paramount Pictures by honcho Sumner Redstone has pushed him back into the public eye (just when we were accustomed to his several-month absence).
