Over the weekend Alec Baldwin, who turns 54 years old today, proposed to his girlfriend, 28-year-old yoga instructing Hilaria Thomas, while the two were away in Montauk. How do we all know this?

But Baldwin went off on Twitter last night after one newspaper, The Daily News , sent photographers to his fiance’s yoga class to get photos of the ring. [ more › ]

Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s heart transplant “went flawlessly,” according to his cardiologist Dr. Jon Reiner. “It exceeded expectations,” Reiner told ABC, describing Cheney’s recovery as “dramatic” and that the patient is doing “remarkably well, amazingly well,” adding that he was out of his hospital bed and sitting in a chair yesterday morning. “This is great news,” Satan said in a telephone call from Hell. “I need Dick and Cthulhu to get back to reaping souls—they’re my best men, and it’s getting a little sparse around here—I shouldn’t be able to hear you over the screams of the damned.” [ more › ]

Brooklyn 11223 started airing on Oxygen last night and we watched it so you wouldn’t have to. The show is a transparent rip-off of the soul-sucking yet mind-bogglingly successful Jersey Shore . Except this one is set in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. The first thing you see are flashes of parts of Brooklyn that are mostly nowhere near Bay Ridge, all soundtracked by music that will make the viewer think Brooklyn is a tough place. They show shoes hanging on telephone lines at least three times during scene transitions. BROOKLYN! [ more › ]

Rush Limbaugh, whose name is synonymous with circumspection and abiding empathy , has come to the defense of the man who shot and killed an unarmed teenager in Florida earlier this month. On his radio program yesterday , Limbaugh tried to put himself in the shoes of George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain who shot Trayvon Martin on February 26th, and still has not been charged. It’s not so hard, if you’re Limbaugh, to find common ground with a man who allegedly muttered “f**king coons” before blowing away a black teen walking home with snacks from the store: [ more › ]

Click here to view the full photogallery. Golfer Phil Mickelson, due to be inducted into the golf’s Hall of Fame in May, has listed his Mediterranean-style hillside estate outside of San Diego for $7.095M. Set on almost five acres of carefully landscaped grounds that, naturally, include a putting green, the 9,500-square-foot main house boasts seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a master suite with an attached gym where “Lefty” can flex his muscles. The interiors are of the Venetian palace sort, perhaps over the top, but undeniably luxurious. There are “hand-plastered ceilings, a hand-carved fireplace of white Cantera stone, white Calcutta marble imported from Italy,” and an ornately-tiled master shower with Baccarat crystal fixtures. How does a golfer afford such extravagances? Well, Mickelson was, according to some estimates, the second highest-paid athlete in America in 2011, raking in more than $60M. · 5111 El Mirlo [Susan Sells Luxury]

The Tim Tebow trade hit yet another snag—though at least this time it won’t warrant any intense prayer sessions . Because of a procedural issue, Tebow is required to sign a rewritten contract with the Denver Broncos on Friday and remain on Denver’s salary cap until Saturday afternoon. This of course just gives him more time to plot his Jets ascendence: sources tell the Daily News that Tebow actually did push to come to NY over Jacksonville. And that’s because he sees a clear path to resuming his career as a starter. [ more › ]
