John Edwards, already ranking as the most unpopular person ever in North Carolina, makes the least surprising baby-daddy anouncement in history.

As Chris Cillizza points out, the announcement has zero political impact. It's simply tabloid fodder.

Meanwhile, in other news about formerly popular people whose lives were destroyed by a lack of zipper control, Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times has some deets on Tiger Woods' stay at sex rehab:

Woods has been calling his wife, Elin Nordegren Woods, daily at her new, rented home in Florida. According to a source close to the golfer's estranged wife, she grills him at length during each call -- asking him about his daily progress in therapy -- before she lets him talk to their children.

• While at Pine Grove, Woods has been reading a lot of books dealing with spirituality -- mainly Buddhist and Christian, but also at least one book on Kabbalah.

Hellooooo! Madonna!

Tiger should probably keep his distance from Madonna. Just sayin'. Thus concludes the tabloid portion of our program today.
