Linkfest: False Resume Gets Chef Cut

Robert Irvine, the star of the Food Network series "Dinner: Impossible," has been cut from the network due to an over-embellished resume. Irvine falsely claimed to have cooked meals for Britain's Royal Family and Various U.S. presidents.

"I was wrong to exaggerate in statements related to my experiences in the White House and the Royal Family," Irvine said in a written statement. "I am truly sorry for misleading people and misstating the facts."

The Food Network said it might revisit its decision at the end of this season, but for now would begin searching for a new host for the series.

It's the BPP's Most.

Wasn't there an X-Files episode about the Mothman? A good deal of my knowledge of both paranormal phenomena and law enforcement comes from half-recollected X-Files shows.

Ian's Mothman story was the funniest thing I've heard on the radio in AGES. Thanks for that.
