Flash Lites: Rip 'N' Read Pop Culture Recap

New York, NY (WFN) -- The upcoming soundtrack to "Team America: World Police," the marionette action flick made by "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, includes songs that are meant to be patriotic but probably won't replace "The Star-Spangled Banner" anytime soon. Some of the song titles include "Freedom Isn't Free," "Everyone Has AIDS," "Mount, Rush, More," and "America, F*** Yeah." The movie hits theaters on Oct. 15.

DALLAS -- Jessica Simpson has a new partner -- and it isn't Nick Lachey. The blonde bombshell has just recorded a new Christmas CD and has agreed to let 7-Eleven stores sell it exclusively.

NEW YORK -- So-called "shock jock" Howard Stern will be taking his controversial shenanigans to satellite radio. Stern and Sirius satellite radio have announced a five year deal worth $500 million that will put Stern on Sirius' air waves starting in 2006. With about 600,000 subscribers, Sirius will get a big boost from Stern's presence by bringing his current audience of 12 million listeners on broadcast radio to the satellite station.

NEW YORK -- "Saturday Night Live" alum Jimmy Fallon is practically begging for an honorary degree from the upstate New York college where he fell just one semester short of graduating. In the latest "Parade" magazine, the funnyman outlines his argument to get a diploma from St. Rose college: "I've done movies, a book, I play guitar and did "Saturday Night Live." Bill Cosby gets honorary degrees. Cosby needs another degree?"

LONDON -- Wheelchair bound mathematician Stephen Hawking is a bigger role model to British boys than soccer player David Beckham, according to a poll of 16 to 18 year-olds completed by "Good Housekeeping" magazine. Although Hawking ranked high on the list, he wasn't first. That honor goes to rugby player Jonny Wilkinson. After Beckham, boxing champion Lennox Lewis is fourth and Ricky Gervais, star of the comedy "The Office," is fifth.

VATICAN CITY -- The pen is mightier than the Pope: Infirm Pope John Paul II has a new book titled "Memory and Identity" which is bound to become a new best seller. The book was launched at the Frankfurt Book Fair and is the pontiff's third book following "Crossing the Threshold of Hope" and "Get Up, Let's Go." The publisher says it tackles important themes in the history of the 20th century and is expected to hit bookstores later this year.
