Holly Madison Insures Her Breasts For $1 Million
Holly Madison is protecting her most valuable assets. The Playboy bunny insured her breasts for $1 million with Lloyd’s of London.
People Magazine reports that Madison took out her new boob insurance policy to protect herself and the people that perform with her in the Las Vegas production, “Peep Show.” Madison told People Magazine:
“”I’ve heard about people getting body parts insured and I thought, why not? If anything happened to my boobs, I’d be out for a few months and I’d probably be out a million dollars. I thought I’d cover my assets.”
Madison’s breasts have made her a lot of money. It seems only right that she is returning the favor.
Madison said:
“I think it’s kind of funny. I think they’re getting the credit they deserve. They’re my primary money makers right now.”
Here’s a picture of Holly Madison and her valuable breasts, you know, in case you were wondering what exactly this article was about.
Madison, who is currently appearing in Las Vegas (occasionally topless) for the “Striptease Spectacular” Peep Show, first gained fame when she stayed at the Playboy Mansion during “The Girl’s Next Door.” Madison was also a tabloid favorite when she dated Hugh Hefner in 2008.
The International Business Times reports that in 2001 Holly Madison had breast implants that brought her from an A-cup to a D-cup. And it looks like that investment has paid off.
Madison isn’t the only person to take out an insurance policy on something a little… different. Troy Polamalu insured his hair for a million dollars last year. Lloyd’s of London has also insured Michael Flatley of River Dance’s feet, Kieth Richard’s fingers, and Celine Dion’s vocal chords.
What do you think of Holly Madison’s investment? Are Holly Madison’s breasts so spectacular that they warrant their own insurance policy?

The Pawpaw: Foraging For America's Forgotten Fruit
So what the heck is a pawpaw?
Recently, I heard about a secret snack. Kayakers who paddle the waters near Washington, D.C., told me about a mango-like fruit that grows along the banks of the Potomac — a speckled and homely skin that hides a tasty treat.
A tropical-like fruit here, really? Yep. It's the only temperate member of a tropical family of trees. You can't buy the pawpaw in stores, so for years, the only way to eat them was straight from the tree.
I was intrigued. So I decided to hunt for a pawpaw myself.
D.C. nature guide Matt Cohen showed me how to find them. We took the Billy Goat Trail on the Maryland side of the Potomac River. "Wow," was the first word out of my mouth when I tasted one we found on our hike. It's sort of mango-meets-the-banana ... with a little hint of melon. Although you may not have heard of it, the pawpaw has quite a history. Thomas Jefferson had pawpaws at Monticello. And when he was minister to France in 1786, he had pawpaw seeds shipped over to friends there. He probably wanted to impress his friends with something exotic from America. Lewis and Clark wrote in their journals that they were quite fond of the pawpaw. At one point during their expedition in 1806, they relied on pawpaws when other provisions ran low. And from Michigan to West Virginia, people have even named towns and lakes after the pawpaw. But the pawpaw has only recently been commercialized. That's one reason you don't see it in the grocery store. So far, there are just a few orchards selling to farmers markets. This progress is largely thanks to the work of plant scientist Neal Peterson. He has spent the past 35 years breeding the pawpaw to make it look and taste more like a fruit we'd buy. He has selected and grown varieties that are bigger, with more flesh. After tasting his first wild pawpaw 35 years ago, he had a eureka moment. "It was just a revelation," he says. Peterson thought that the pawpaw was every bit the rival of a perfect peach or apple — fruits that have had thousands of years of breeding. Why hadn't someone done this with the pawpaw? "I could just instantly make that leap of imagination," he says. And some three decades later, he has a lot to show for it. His pawpaws are being grown in a few orchards and sold at farmers markets. And now it's moving beyond novelty. A food scientist at Ohio University, Rob Brannan, is interested in studying the nutrients in the pawpaw. So far, he has published one study that found the antioxidant count in the fruit to be pretty high. Pawpaws may look like mangos, but unlike other tropical fruits, they are native to North America. Enlarge Abby Verbosky for NPR Pawpaws may look like mangos, but unlike other tropical fruits, they are native to North America. "It's about the same as a cranberry" or a cherry, Brannan says. If scientists could put a "health halo" over the pawpaw, Brannan says, it would give the fruit a commercial boost. It's happened before. Pomegranate juice, anyone? "Yum — wonderful flavor," Joan Foster said after tasting her first pawpaw at the Olney Farm Market recently. She has been waiting a long time to try one. They're only available a few weeks out of the year — and this year's pawpaw season is just about over. So if you're intrigued, come back again tomorrow for a few tips on where you can find pawpaw beer, pawpaw sorbet ... and pawpaw recipes.

T-Mobile joins Verizon to support Samsung in Apple patent lawsuit
Verizon was the first carrier to come to Samsung's defense in the company's patent dispute with Apple, but it's not the last. As Reuters reports today, T-Mobile has now also sided with Samsung in the lawsuit, stating in a court filing that a sales ban on certain Samsung products would "unnecessarily harm" the carrier and its customers, and that, "at this late date, T-Mobile could not find comparable replacement products for the 2011 holiday season." The carrier also noted that its ads also "prominently feature" some of the Samsung products in question, and that those investments "cannot be recouped easily." As for the case itself, the next big date is an October 13th hearing on the injunction request.

Walter Payton Book Tackles Drug Abuse, Depression
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — According to a new book, Chicago Bears star Walter Payton abused painkillers in retirement and became suicidal.
In "Sweetness: The Enigmatic Life of Walter Payton," author Jeff Pearlman says the Hall of Fame running back used a cocktail of Tylenol and Vicodin in retirement, kept tanks of nitrous oxide in his garage and even obtained Ritalin from a friend whose son was prescribed pills. Pearlman writes that Payton drew the suspicion of pharmacists and a warning from the police after visiting several drugstores to have a dentist's prescription for morphine filled.
Payton's longtime agent, Bud Holmes, is quoted as saying "Walter was pounding his body with medication."
The book goes on sale Oct. 4. An excerpt appears in this week's Sports Illustrated.
Holmes and Payton's executive assistant, Ginny Quirk, recall receiving suicidal calls at all hours during the mid-1990s, and Pearlman reports Payton was living apart from his wife Connie and having extramarital affairs after retirement. That created an awkward situation at his 1993 Hall of Fame induction, with Connie and his mistress attending.
Quirk is quoted as saying it was her job to keep them apart.
"The introduction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame is supposed to be the greatest moment in his life," Quirk says. "And in truth, it was probably the worst.. Four full days, and Lita and Connie were like two ships passing in the night. If Connie was scheduled to come late, I'd make sure Lita was there early. If Connie was there early, Lita would be there late. I can't describe the horror of that trip."
Payton spent all 13 seasons with the Bears and retired as the NFL's all-time leading rusher after the 1987 season. He died from a rare liver disease and bile duct cancer in 1999.
In a statement, the Bears said Payton's "competitive spirit lives with us today."
"When we take the field each Sunday, we represent the great players like Walter who helped build the rich tradition of our organization," the organization said. "Nothing will change our feelings for a man we have the deepest respect for and miss having around Halas Hall to this day."

How Has Steve Bartman Avoided Showing Up On The Internet After All These Years?
It seems strange—miraculous, even—that sites like ours or other media outlets have yet to catch even a glimpse of Steve Bartman post-hibernation. No candid cellphone pic popping up on a Chicagoan's Facebook page. No first-hand account of a Bartman sighting at the laundromat or the gym or an Applebee's in Schaumburg. Finding a photo of him without the Cubs hat and dopey headphones, wearing some expression other than one of frozen sadness, would be like finding a photo of a Yeti in a national park. Except that this Yeti still works a desk job outside of Chicago, if Catching Hell's information is still up to date.
The photo seen above is from a personal blog called Osler's Razor, whose author was a friend of Bartman's roommate at Notre Dame. The roommate passed along the pic for Osler's Razor to publish. Weird, right? Your eyes go straight to Lou Holtz in the middle. Unless someone pointed him out, you'd never notice the kid crouched on the left, who is now just as famous a personage as the football coach he's posing with. Once you realize it's Bartman, though, Holtz fades away, and the photo feels more substantial and spooky, like seeingOswald in Minsk.
Catching Hell director Alex Gibney did reach out to Bartman for the film, but Bartman, as he's done with all requests (interviews, six-figure endorsements) over the past eight years, politely declined. It's a remarkable feat, almost monastic in its self-discipline, one that makes Bartman's story even more intriguing and heroic in its own way. The cynic in you wants to say he's staying quiet merely to drive up the price of an interview or a TV appearance, but that's not right. I don't imagine that he's tortured by all this anymore. He's controlling his story's ending. He's grabbing it clean out of the night sky and pulling it into his chest. Good for him.
