May as well starting laughing now! On May 26, BBC America will air a 10-hour marathon of Monty Python's Flying Circus. The network has just snagged all four seasons of the legendary comedy series, including a couple of specials they did for German TV.

As every fan of great comedy knows, the Monty Python troupe consisted of Michael Palin, Eric Idle, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Graham Chapman and Terry Jones. Monty Python's Flying Circus debuted on BBC on October 5, 1969, and over the years the shows have been shown over and over again, becoming classic. Now that they are coming to BBC America, it's a chance for fans -- new and old -- to watch them one more time -- and DVR them if you're smart. Unless you already have the DVDs.

Hotel heiress, reality TV star and most-photographed land mammal Paris Hilton has inadvertently turned the folks on her MySpace "friends" list into enemies when an e-mail was sent out to each and every one of them telling them they had won a trip to meet her. The e-mails claimed to be from Paris herself, but requested that the recipient fill out a number of pop-up messages with personal information before finally revealing that there were no prizes and that the person had been placed on a spam list. I have to wonder who these people are that would go through all that trouble to meet Paris Hilton, especially since one could whittle down the front of a Barbie doll with a cheese grater and then sit across the table from it for an hour for essentially the same effect.
