    Despite formally pledging to make such information and statistics public, new findings show the administration of Mexican president Felipe Calderon and attorney general tried cover up the 2011 death toll of Mexico's bloody drug war. [LATimes]

    So a Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy smuggled heroin hidden in a burrito into a courthouse jail... [KABC]

    In a TV appearance peppered with several "oh lords," Sarah Palin attempts to rip into Michelle Obama's defense of her husband's presidential performance. Forgive me for being redundant but this was on Fox News. [HuffPo]

    In case you were wondering what the VIP hospital room where Beyonce gave birth to Blue Ivy Carter looks like (probably nicer than your living room)... [TMZ]

    Even though she was the biggest winner of the night, racking up five awards, Katy Perry was a no-show at last night's 38th annual People's Choice Awards. Hang in there, girl. America ♥'s you. [Radar]
