Daily Tube Channel - Plaxico Burress shot himself in the thigh while he was at a Manhattan nightclub last Friday night. That much you know already. Well, as of late Tuesday night, Burress isn't a Giant for the rest of the 2008 season ... and he probably won't be again. The talented wide receiver, who pulled down the Super Bowl winning to stun the Patriots, was put on the Non-Football Injury List, a move that ends his season and lets the Giants save his salary ... and replace his spot on the roster.

Daily Tube Channel - Oh! We actually miss John McCain!  His silly old man antics and uncontrollable temper made so much fun for us all year, and now he's hiding out, licking his wounds.  Not to worry, though.  ABC has picked John McCain up from his defeat in the election and given him his own show, "McNasty".  Can you say "most anticipated fake television show"?

Daily Tube Channel - Jay-Z may be cutting edge, but he knows his roots, and the Godfather owes a lot to Notorious B.I.G. for setting his path. Contributing Brooklyn Go Hard with Santogold for an upcoming documentary about the deceased rapper's life, Jay-Z turns a toss-off into a treasure.

Daily Tube Channel - Jennifer Hudson's estranged brother-in-law has been arrested in connection with the October murders of Hudson's mom, brother and nephew. The accused, William Balfour, was married to Hudson's older sister. He was arrested after the murders for a parole violation.

Daily Tube Channel - You know you can always find the best football plays here, but this week we thought, "You know, there was so much football over the long weekend, why limit our highlights to one or two grabs? Why not just package all of the week's best catches into one highlight reel, then show everyone that? Then we trolled through every page on nfl.com and, whoa! What do you know! They just started doing that! Kudos to nfl.com and whoever has the plush job of picking the week's best catches. That sounds like a sweet gig (kind of like what we do here, eh?).

Daily Tube Channel - Another one of BarelyPolitical.com's famous leaked voicemail recordings reveals some of the short list applicants for Barack Obama's cabinet. Hillary's going to be Secretary of State, Matthew McConaughey will be Secretary of Stoners, and Tim Gunn will get to be Interior Design General.  

Daily Tube Channel - Sometimes we like to drink in the middle of the week; don't judge. This hump day we're after the mysterious, allegedly hallucinogenic absinthe that few of us have tried.  Art of the Drink shows how to prepare absinthe if we ever happen across it (isn't it illegal in the US?), and gives us a tasty female barkeep standing around doing basically nothing. The Green Fairy + hot chick = winning inebriation.

Daily Tube Channel - The introductory retrospective makes it clear just how much Britney Spears has been a part of our lives. Back to looking young and slim, an energetic X-Factor performance before her 27th birthday makes it clear that her star may have dimmed but hasn't fallen.

Daily Tube Channel - Between performances on X-Factor and Good Morning America, Britney Spears headed out to British nightclub G-A-Y to party down for her birthday. With her big comeback on track, the pop tart has good reason to celebrate.

Daily Tube Channel - Many brave pioneers have faced the challenges of a Larry King interview and been overwhelmed by the severe length and unpredictability of the trial.  Will these astronauts have the endurance, reflexes, and gall to take on the legendary news man without losing it?  Today Now! explores the training process these courageous men are undertaking.

Daily Tube Channel - If you haven't heard the latest cut that's ripping up clubs around Manhattan, it's an ode to a certain New York (Football) Giants wide receiver. It's like the Humpty Dance, except this is no Plaxident. This is straight-up gangsta, busting a cap in your own leg, and making it rain with the $30 million you just lost to stupidity. In da club, yo! That's where you'll find Plax, begging for change. 

Daily Tube Channel - Will the economy get this bad?  Adam McKay envisions a world in which folks are forced to pawn food for cash.  Doesn't actually make much sense... but sterling performances by Steve Buscemi, Horatio Sanz, Will Ferrell, and Tracy Morgan will help you look past the illogic of the premise.

Daily Tube Channel - It's the question that's weighing on this entire NBA season: Will LeBron James leave Cleveland in 2010? All signs point to yes, with New York teams -- the Knicks and the Nets -- trading away anyone they can to clear cap space in an attempt to woo The King to the Big Apple. Still, no one's put the question to James himself flat out. Finally, a man we at The Daily Tube love to hate, had the gumption to do it in an interview that aired Tuesday, the night LeBron scored 26 in Madison Square Garden in Cleveland's second-straight win in New York. The result? More ambiguity than you might expect.
