1. Damon Wayans -- Michael Kyle
   While Jamie Foxx makes recent racial epithet discussion driver Oprah the butt of a joke, Damon Wayans adds his name to the list of those who aren't letting go of Michael Richards' inadvertant launching pad for race-based discussion. At The Laugh Factory's weekly "Chocolate Sundaes" show, where use of the word "nigger" has been banned by management, The Underground host racked up a number of $20 fines in his routine.
2. Michael Richards
   Michael Richards (born 7/24/49 in Culver City, California) is a famous comedian who starred as the character Cosmo Kramer, on the hit NBC series, Seinfeld. He will infamously be associated with a racist verbal attack against hecklers on 11/17/06. Relevant medical information is that his mother (Phyllis Nardozzi) worked as a medical records librarian. Michael Richards was drafted during the Vietnam War and stationed in Germany, where he worked as a co-director of a road show. He produced and directed shows dealing with race relations and drug abuse.
3. Richard Belzer -- Detective Munch
   Richard Belzer is perhaps best known today for his starring role as Detective Munch in the TV police drama Homicide. Before joining Homicide, The Belz was a popular stand-up comedian, who came up with Jay Leno on the club circuit. He is a frequent guest on The Howard Stern Show and has appeared on Tonight and Politically Incorrect and in other major national media.
4. Michael Richards -- Cosmo Kramer
   Michael Richards, who played the lovable hipster doofus Kramer on Seinfeld for 10 years, had a meltdown when two African-American men heckled him in a Los Angeles comedy club. Richards unleashed a tirade of racist and profane insults — including the n-word, plus a reference to unthinkable physical abuse, including an implied lynching.
5. Richard Petty Driving Experience -- Rpde Operations
   Petty Driving Experience teams up with Clemson for Safe Driving Program: Richard Petty Driving Experience (RPDE), in partnership with Clemson University's Automotive Safety Research Institute (ASRI) announced the launch of its national Safe Driving Program. The program is intended to prevent or reduce highway crashes by high-risk adolescent and young adult participants by measurably improving driver skills, attitudes, knowledge and behavior. The research-based Safe Driving Program, initially designed for high-risk drivers aged 16 to 25, will teach safe driving skills and safety education to participants through a classroom setting and on-track experiences by placing students in hazardous driving situations in a controlled and safe environment. Professional driving instructors will coach the students through corrective responses during each stage of the safe driving modules. RPDE and Clemson will develop a unique safe driving program based on best practices for both classroom instruction and on-track laboratory experiences targeting the acquisition of safe driving skills, knowledge, attitudes and behaviors. Kyle Petty, a long-time advocate of driver safety for young adults, will serve as the spokesman for this initiative, and Kim Alexander, executive director of ASRI, will lead the research team and serve as Clemson's spokesperson.
6. Matt Stone -- Eric Cartman
   Trey Parker and Matt Stone's amazingly outrageous animated series follows four youngsters--Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny--as they contend with everything from choir tours to spontaneous combustion. It's all part of the daily routine in the weird mountain town of South Park.
7. Lara Flynn Boyle -- Jack Nicholson
   Jack Nicholson and former flame Lara Flynn Boyle, 36, lounged in the sun together on a speedboat in Saint Tropez on the French Riviera. The couple dated from 1999 â?? 2001. They went public with the relationship when they were involved in a car wreck together. The actress (who was dating comedian David Spade at the time) was a passenger in Nicholsonâ??s Mercedes when it collided with another car in the Hollywood Hills on July 8, 1999. Grody bonus fact: Nicholson, 69, has a daughter who is five years older than Boyle!
8. Paris
   Paris has long been the first stop on the cultivated traveler's grand tour, the place where the world comes to learn sophistication and style. Local pride has kept the city surprisingly free of generic superstores, and the city can still transport the visitor to an alternate universe of artisan shops and timeless French cafes. While the Left Bank hot spots of the past haven't entirely lost their charm, savvy travelers know to seek out the livelier, lesser-known corners where the Picassos of today drink, draw and dream. A plethora of recently revitalized neighborhoods -- from the hopping nightlife of Bastille to the artsy Canal St. Martin to the diverse, up-and-coming Belleville -- provide room for the visitor to find his very own moveable feast.
9. Dune (Musical Act) -- Paul Atreides
   While this added explanation does help, Dune still has serious problems that added scenes can’t fix. The original version just doesn’t capture the scope of the novel. Many characters end up as completely unnecessary, namely Duncan Idaho (Richard Jordan), Gurney Halleck (Patrick Stewart), and Princess Irulan. Much technology isn’t really explained, such as the still-suits and the spice mining vehicles. One moment that’s supposed to be awe inspiring ends up looking rather ridiculous - when Paul Mau’Dib climbs onto a gigantic sandworm to ride it across the desert, backed by Toto electric guitars.
10. Nicky Hilton -- Paris Hilton
    Paris' lil' sis Nicky Hilton -- that other party-hopping heiress -- just dropped a load on a new home. The non-con Hilton ponied up a cool $3 million for her new pad. The new abode -- which measures up at around 4,000 square feet -- isn't considered excessively large compared to some of her compatriots' quarters, has an office-gym and 4-1/2 baths. The house features just three bedrooms, just enough for when sis Paris needs a place to crash after a long night out around town.
