Oksana Grigorieva is asking the judge to make Mel Gibson buck up — WAAY up — by increasing her monthly child support from $5,000 a month to more than $40,000 … sources tell TMZ. As we’ve reported, Mel currently pays Oksana the tidy sum of $5,000 a month in child support for baby Lucia, and also pays for the Sherman Oaks house where they live. But we’re told Oksana now wants nearly 10 times what she currently gets. Here’s... [Read more]
Two of the most high-powered offenses in the nation collide in one of two NCAA games this Sunday as SMU visits Texas Tech in Tommy Tuberville’s debut as Red Raiders head coach. The Red Raiders are 13.5-point favorites on WagerWeb.com. Actually just about everything about TTU is new, including offensive coordinator Neal Brown, who plans to keep much of Mike Leach’s pass-happy offense but certainly will run more. Former Alabama linebackers... [Read more]
The only game other than LSU-North Carolina that features two ranked teams on college football’s opening weekend is Saturday night at Cowboys Stadium outside Dallas where No. 24 Oregon State faces No. 6 TCU – it’s the highest-ranked the Frogs have been entering the season.

For much of the offseason, Saturday night’s North Carolina-LSU matchup looked like probably the best game of college football’s opening weekend. Now, thanks to an unprecedented amount of suspensions on the Heels, it looks like a mismatch for LSU. LSU opened as a 3.5-point favorite but now is at -7.5 on WagerWeb.com’s betting odds. As of this writing, 15 Heels won’t play, including just about all of the team’s top defensive players. Earlier... [Read more]
NASA’s plans for this decade are pretty hot. Literally. The agency plans to launch an unmanned spacecraft before 2018 that will enter the Sun’s atmosphere. Though the nearest it will get is about four million miles from the Sun’s surface, that’s still closer than the US has ever gotten, and should help to unlock decades-old mysteries—specifically, says a NASA director, “why is the sun’s outer atmosphere so much hotter...

A US recruitment company lured 400 Thai laborers to the US, confiscated their passports, tore up their contracts, and forced them to work, according to a federal indictment filed yesterday. The indictment names six people, four from Global Horizons Manpower Inc.—including the CEO—and two recruiters based out of Thailand, the AP reports.

The city that never sleeps will be a little less bright through Nov. 1, as buildings hit the lights to protect migrating birds. An estimated 90,000 birds die each year by slamming into buildings in NYC alone; turning lights off can reduce that number by 83%, according to one study. The Empire State and Chrysler buildings have jumped aboard the “lights out” program, run by NYC Audubon, and will turn off their lights from midnight to dawn... [Read more]
