It’s Fat Tuesday!

Around the world Catholics are celebrating their last day before Lent which can only mean one thing: a giant party. Down in Brazil they call it Carnival, and Boston.com's Big Picture has an amazing photoset. New Orleans finally seems to have caught a break with their Super Bowl win and their new mayor, and they're certainly celebrating. From the Times-Picayune: For many New Orleanians, today’s festivities will mark the continuation of a party that began moments after the Saints 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV on Feb. 7. Indeed, just two days after the game, the team was celebrated in a parade that included floats from different krewes and which was broadcast live on national television. And on Sunday, Saints quarterback Drew Brees opened up this week’s festivities as the King of Bacchus. Anyone out there in New Orleans? Tell us about the party! added by: afitzgerald

Marriage Can Wait, Fun Cannot, Says Kim Kardashian

The Super Bowl has come and gone, the New Orleans Saints defeated the Indianapolis Colts and, still, Kim Kardashian does not have a diamond on her finger. A couple weeks ago, rumors had circulated that as soon as Reggie Bush won his championship ring, he’d follow up by placing a similar piece of jewelry – with a very different meaning – on his girlfriend’s hand. Alas, Kim is still single, but she sounds perfectly fine with that arrangement. “I’ve been married before I was 19 and I want to take my time,” she said in Las Vegas on Valentine’s Day. “There are rumors like, ‘Kim is pressuring him,’ and there is none of that at all, I really want to take my time. We are young and we’re having fun.” That actually sounds… mature and grounded. Who are you, and what have you done with Kim Kardashian?!? “We need to just support each other in every thing we do, so it’s just about spending time together,” she added. The couple will have plenty of opportunities for that. Bush has an entire off-season ahead of him and, well, Kim doesn’t do much aside from pose on red carpets. They can probably fit in some quality time in there somewhere.
