O.J. Simpson attacked and bloodied by 39-year-old daughter and other news of the day

1. O.J. Simpson was reportedly attacked and bloodied by his 39-year-old daughter Arnelle. In a bit of delicious irony, he declined to press charges for the domestic violence.

2. LA Times editor allows article to mention that robbery suspects were "5'6" - 6'0" tall, 150 –200 pounds – in their early to late 20s" but removes fact that they were African-American. After readers pointed out the obvious missing information, the LA Times said it was just a mistake by an overeager editor. Well, that's sort of what the explanation was.

3. TMZ has video of Beyonce's sister, Solange Knowles, starting an interview by saying she is dissatisfied by the introduction the host gave.

4. Wikileaks intends to auction off limited time exclusive access to three years worth of Hugo Chavez's personal email.

5. Dave Barry reminisces about the time he and a few colleagues went to the 1988 Democratic Convention "protest zone" with boxes on their heads and managed to be covered by the national news.
