Aussie Editor Sent Home
Apparently the 30-year-old editor of one of Australia's leading women's magazine was stopped at the Los Angeles airport, strip-searched, had her lip liner confiscated, was paraded through the airport handcuffed and then shipped back to Sydney after 12 or 15 hours. Apparently she was coming over to interview Olivia Newton-John about breast cancer but the U.S. no longer would accept the visa she's used eight times in the past. Nice going, guys. (via That Happy Feeling.)

Then again, maybe it was just the fashion police trying to prevent her smuggling this hat into the country.
