Another One Bites The Dust...

(CNN) -- Mitt Romney suspended his bid for the Republican presidential nomination Thursday, saying if he continued it would "forestall the launch of a national campaign and be making it easier for Senator Clinton or Obama to win." Romney made the announcement Thursday afternoon at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington.

Ok, so John McCain has this sh*t on lockdown now! Do we really a trainwreck-tastic First Lady, though? Isn't our country's image tarnished enough?!? If you didn't google Cindy McCain (Not cool...I told you to do it), here are some HIGH (and I do mean high as in trashed) lights:

*She's 18 years younger than him, and he was MARRIED when they got together. He divorced his first wife in April and married Cindy in May.The story goes that he dumped his first wife - who had been crippled in a car accident - in favor of a trophy bride to enhance his political ambitions.

*She was addicted to painkillers such as Percocet due to pain from back surgery and "emotional stress". The addiction progressed to the point where she resorted to stealing drugs from her own AVMT (A medical charity that she ran-convenient, huh?). During 1992, Tom Gosinski, the director of government and international affairs for AVMT , discovered her drug theft. Subsequently in 1992, McCain's parents staged an intervention to force her to get help; she told her husband about her problem, attended a drug treament facility. In January 1993, McCain terminated Gosinski's employment on grounds of budgetary reasons. In spring 1993, Gosinski tipped off the Drug Enforcement Administration to investigate McCain's drug theft. Her activities violated federal statutes, so a federal investigation was conducted. McCain's defense team secured an agreement with the U.S. Attorney's office that limited her punishment to financial restitution and enrollment in a diversion program, without anything being made public.

*She had a stroke in 2004

*She is a former Arizona rodeo beauty queen and daughter of a millionaire Phoenix businessman

*She visited Bangladesh and decided on the spur of the moment to help a little girl with a cleft palate whom she met in Mother Teresa’s orphanage. The McCains eventually adopted the girl, named her Bridget and raised her as their daughter

*She's now 53

Ok, now you know.

Life & Style magazine put Shiloh Jolie Pitt on the cover of their magazine this week. The sensational and untrue story claims that her superstar parents have increased security after discovering a chilling note threatening her safety left outside one of their homes.But it's all lies, Brad says! "This is absolutely not true and reckless and dangerous to put these ideas out into the world." Unbelievable.

Heidi Fleiss (Former Hollywood Madame-Think Charlie Sheen) was arrested and charged with driving without a license, possession of dangerous drugs without a prescription, under the influence of a controlled substance and driving under the influence of a controlled substance. In the middle of the day. Um, can we say "Issues"?!?

I cannot remember who I was talking to about this, but Celine Dion's show in Vegas is ending. I said that someone interesting is taking over, but I couldn't remember who. Well, Bette Middler will be there for a little while until Cher takes over. OMG. I would totally go to see her, just to watch the gays in the audience!!

Eric Dane (McSteamy) had skin cancer...the internet is abuzz about his "brave fight". Come on. Really?!?

Lawyers for Shitney & her Dad were in court today, but the records are sealed. According to usmagazine.com: "Britney Spears' father and coconservator, Jamie, was granted a change in the rules concerning his decision-making power over her medical, financial, and legal matters, a LA Superior Court judge decided Thursday afternoon." I'll keep you posted...And at the other end of the spectrum, my girl Ange is in Iraq to highlight the needs of Iraqi refugees and she even went to see the troops. Um, Shitney, watch and learn b**ch!

Heath Ledger's body is in Australia now, where he will be buried. So sad :(

OMG. I went to an event at The Melting Pot tonight. Yum. Yum. Yum. Michelle and Kim, OMG-awesome idea! It was so good-Cheese fondue & Chocolate fondue-what's not to like?!? Ohhh...guess what? I rocked 4 inch heels today. That's right. I'm owning my height. I love heels...they are sexy and they match my personality. Hello...I am way more stiletto than ballet slipper, right? Paula took the love of my life, um, I mean my car, to a carwash today. She suffered through driving it...LOL! Anyway, a little fiberglass piece popped off the front. Blasts! It ruins the whole look of my car. And...my paper tag expired two days ago...whoops!

File this under the Niki is an evil b**ch category: I sent my stepmonster, um I mean Daddy Dearest's wife, an email asking for pics of the wedding. I have a feeling that they will be disappointing, much more mundane than I imagine. I have this picture in my head of them standing there, her all decked out in a frilly, Little House on the Prairie-esque dress with a poinsetta bouquet, with an orangutan swinging from a tree branch behind them, maybe an elephant or a rhino in the distance...you know, totally trailer park-tastic. Bridesmaids rockin' their red dresses, maybe a Christmas tree nearby. For those of you who are new to my blog...we all have our crosses to bear in life, and darlings, Daddy Dearest is mine. Long story short, he married his mistress in a Christmas themed wedding. At the zoo. Wait. It gets better. I'm Jewish. And they wanted me to be in the wedding. He cheated on my Mother for 5 years with this woman. Is he f**king kidding?!? What a fiasco that would have been. Oh, the horror. Anyway, I RSVP'd "hell to the no" to the wedding invite (no...I was sorta kinda borderline civil), and I haven't heard from Daddy Dearest since. He's a real pr**k. Thank G*d my Mom is dripping in awesomeness, or I'd be really f**ked in the 'rents department! Speaking of pr**ks, my ONLY uncle (yeah, the guys in my family pretty much suck), who has refused to talk to my 88 year old Grandma for several years now, is supposedly ready to see her. Isn't that mighty white of him?!? He better not upset her. At all. I think his daughter and his wife read this, and if this offends you, I'm sorry...but A.) I'm done with biting my tongue...that is so 5 years ago, and 2.) I think we all know that he is a douchebag. Look on the bright side...none of my friends know any of you. Frankly, I have no idea why you all put up with him. As I said, we all have our crosses to bear...(Lissy! My uncle. Your aunt. The Darkside.)

My (Libra) horoscope for today:

"It's payback time for someone, and you'll want to be sure that you're on the right side of the fence when this issue comes to a head." Hmmmm...who could this apply to? I have my hopes...

Speaking of reaping what you sow, I heard that my old bosses' dog died. This is the 2nd dog of theirs that has died. WTF? Tai Tai is older than both of them were. The first one drowned in the pool...she was around 2. This one (the "replacement") had to be 5 or 6 at the most. Dude. Do the animal kingdom a favor. Don't get another dog! Kthanxbye.

FYI-"Lipstick Jungle"? I'm totally not feeling it. So disappointing!

Well, I'm done with my snarkfest for the evening.

Love ya. Mean it.
