          ummm you linked to the front page of the entertainment section and not the front page of cnn.com which has real news stories so I would assume that is why. Then on the front page it is listed under "popular news as a link".

                      theres obviously nothing important happening throughout the world. so we focus on mary-kate's smile or lindsay lohan's coke addiction. big news corps are a fucking joke to say the least.

                              it is called an "include"

                              any time one of the other sections are updated the news gets on the front page for a bit

                                      Yesterday CNN television actually did a montage of YouTube videos featuring people losing their pants. Like wow. Now they have an entire day to devote to Pavarotti. I guess APEC and whatnot isn't worth covering...

                                          Being a liberal-biased news network, they have other things to talk about rather than spewing rhetoric about terrorists, freedom and "eye-rack." Frankly I am tired of hearing about it and would like to see something different for a while.

                                              what do you mean theres nothing happening. IMO if they dont have anything imporant to say in the entertinment, remove it for a while, like putting an extra story like the failed terrorists in germany, who were white and only tailed through half a chance. or that those dam russians are flexing their muscles

                                                          you want celeb news, go to http://www.hotcelebshome.com/ and chit chat all you want to the trivia that gets spewed around. Just because someone gets tired of the news should not been they should put such a useless story on. thats my opinion. Obviously cnn know best as they are the ones in control.

                                                          IMO news is a tool that is absolutley wonderful and should not be abused to tell people about whether someone smiles at the camera or not.

                                                          but hey i guess that really is what the average person wants now days

He was 70, he was overweight, he had a bad illness. I mean wow, do you expect the man to be eternal and live forever. RIP though, amazing singer.

                                                                      But a story about her smiling or not smiling when the cameras are around.... thats just pathetic, thats not popular, how on earth can it be "popular" news whether someone famous smiles or not.
