While the family of late University of Nebraska football player Sam Foltz traveled to a game Saturday in which Foltz was honored, burglars allegedly targeted his family's home. According to a Facebook post by the brother of Foltz, a punter on the team who died in a car crash in July, the family's house and car were allegedly robbed. "These past few weeks have been some of the most hard, tiring, emotional and trying times I've ever ran up against in my thirty years on this earth as I lost a friend a role model and most importantly a brother,...

The fact that the woman who has 20 bachelors vying for her affection in the Cmt reality series "Sweet Home Alabama" is not actually an Alabamian says it all. No, 20-year-old Devin Grissom is from Cordova, Tenn., outside Memphis, where she attended a private Christian grade school. The blue-eyed blonde had her moments in the pageant circuit, landing the honor of representing Tennessee for the 2007 Teen Miss America's Outstanding Teen Pageant, and has modeled. And now, she's a junior at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, a fact that qualifies her to star in "Sweet Home Alabama." She was, after all, discovered on Facebook by producers who were "just looking for a specific type of Southern woman," Grissom told The Tuscaloosa News.
She's a type, all right, sweet but lacking a distinct personality. Having someone so young serve as the countryfied "Bachelorette" is one of many mind-boggling and -numbing decisions made by the showrunners.

Behold Cubebot, the world's most tasteful robot.
Design snobs and Gundam nerds might be worlds apart on, oh, pretty much everything, but one thing they can both agree on is this: the awesomeness of David Weeks's Cubebot.
Cubebot is both a toy robot and an art object. You can fold it into a box as if it were some sort of Tony Rosenthal sculpture or sic it on your model Rx-78 till mom yells bedtime -- whatever. Designy types will love it because of the Cubist reference and because it's made out of sustainably harvested cherry wood and because it'll look perfectly at home on the Noguchi side table, next to the George Nelson sofa, just across the way from the original Koons balloon dog. And geeks will love it because it's a Robot!!!
Cubebot is part of a new summer collection Weeks, who's based in Brooklyn, produced for the ur-hip design distributor Areaware.
