Swiss tipped off U.S authorities to Roman Polanski's visit
The AP has obtained documents confirming that the Swiss Federal Office of Justice sent a fax on September 22 alerting the US Office of International Affairs that Polanski was due to travel to Zurich to attend a film festival tribute to his work. The Swiss correspondence inquired as to whether US authorities would be submitting a request for Polanski’s arrest. This revelation has surprised many familiar with the case, since Polanski owns a Chalet in Switzerland and has traveled there many times without incident. Since his arrest, the Swiss have denied Polanski’s requests for house arrest and to be released on bail.

Sarah Palin will finally sit on Oprah's couch
About a year after she famously turned down Oprah Winfrey’s invitation to appear on her talk show, Sarah Palin will finally take a seat on Oprah’s couch on Nov. 16, according to People. During the 2008 presidential campaign, many believed that Palin declined the invite because Winfrey was such an outspoken supporter of the rival ticket. But months ago, Winfrey predicted that Palin might have a change of heart when it was time to promote her upcoming memoir Going Rogue: An American Life, saying, “Maybe she’ll talk to me now that she has a book deal.”

Balloon Boy: Former colleague says Heene planned hoax
A former business associate of “Balloon Boy” dad Richard Heene appeared on NBC’s Today show this morning to claim that he knew of previous plans by Heene to hoax the media with a fake UFO. College student Robert Thomas said he had worked as an intern for Heene as he developed a reality show. As soon as he saw the now-discredited reports of Heene’s son’s disappearance in a large balloon, Thomas recalled thinking, “Who would possibly do something like this? It has to be Richard Heene.” Thomas recently sold a more detailed account of his work with Heene to Gawker.com.
