Now that’s what I call a snow bunny! Or a snow . . . Honey! Stop scaring the wildlife! One unlucky skier hopped on a chairlift at Colorado’s Vail Resort and fell overboard. His ski got caught in the lift, leaving him dangling with his pants down for seven excruciatingly cold and embarrassing minutes. (Psst . . . Be thorough. Click through all of the photos for the full story.)

Time-outs? In war? The fighting in Gaza is still underway (12 days later!) . . . minus a three hour ”time-out” period from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. this afternoon when Israel hit the sidelines so Gaza could catch its breath. Israel has agreed to cease fire every other day during the same three-hour time period to give humanitarian aid an opportunity to clean up the opposition. It’s all in the name of sportsmanlike conduct. You know.

Obama will address our economic woe, woe, woes! tomorrow. The president-elect will give a “major speech” tomorrow at 11 a.m. (EST) to call for quick action on his “American Recovery and Investment Plan,” which is anticipated to save or create over three million jobs. Obama announced today that he has appointed Nancy Killefer as his chief performance officer, which he claims is “one of the most important” appointments he’s made yet. Killefer will be responsible for kicking budgetary ass and taking names up in Washington—to which my inner Gwen Stefani says: “Get it, girl. Get it, get it, girl. To the front, to the side, to the back” and don’t let ‘em hide!

iTunes will no longer compete with the 99 cents store. Beginning in April, iTunes will begin pricing its music according to popularity. The latest and greatest songs will be priced at $1.29, and oldies but goodies will go on clearance at 69 cents a pop. In addition, Apple will remove anticopying restrictions from its music so listeners don’t have to use an iPod to move and groove to their fave downloads. Could this be an end to the iMonopoly?

Uh, the Wicked Witch ain’t dead. When NBC’s “Today Show” cut Ann Coulter out of its lineup yesterday, the woman hopped on her broom and had a hissy all over town. When she returned to get her mug on the show this morning, Matt Lauer explained that they shot her down yesterday because Tony Blair suddenly made himself available. “And I think that’s a good switch,” he added. And I think Matt Lauer is my new favorite person.
