RIP... Barbara Bush, the Former First Lady has died at the age of 92. Known for her grace, kindness and class, she was only the second woman in history to be both the wife of a US President, George H. W. Bush, and the mother of another, George W. Bush. (The first was Abigail Adams). Born Barbara Pierce, she met her future husband at a Christmas Dance when she was just 16. They married in 1945. As First Lady, she championed Literacy and Depression Awareness. The woman known as "America's Grandma" will be buried this Saturday on the grounds of her husband's Presidential Library - next to the daughter, Robin, she and George lost to Leukemia at the age of 3 in 1953.

Bill Cosby offered up an interesting defense in his sexual harassment trial, claiming he didn't have sex with his accusers because he "doesn't like sex" - he "only likes petting".

The IRS was forced to extend the Tax Filing deadline by 24 hours until midnight tonight after their website crashed yesterday.
