|
 Stephen Colbert paid his first visit to the "Late Show" since CBS announced that he'll be taking over hosting duties from David Letterman next year. "He just stopped by to sign the lease," Letterman said during his monologue on Tuesday night. Letterman said he was "thrilled" that Colbert would be his replacement. "They could have just as easily hired another boob like me," he said. "But they didn't." "They hired a boob like me," Colbert replied. "Every boob is like a snowflake, Dave.

| Nadal to Face Ramos at Barcelona Open
|
 BARCELONA: Top-ranked Rafael Nadal will look to get his clay court season back on track against Albert Ramos at the Barcelona Open after his fellow Spaniard won on Tuesday in the first round. Ramos beat Nikolay Davydenko of Russia 6-4, 6-4 to set up Wednesday's second-round match against the defending champion and eight-time winner. Nadal was knocked out of the quarterfinals of the preceding Monte Carlo Masters -- his earliest exit from the clay court tournament since 2003. "Rafa is a very difficult rival, he's going to play with a lot of intensity as he's coming off a surprise loss, so I'm sure he'll be motivated," said Ramos, ranked 103rd. "It's going to be tough. I need him to have a bad day and myself a great one to beat him." Nadal said on Monday that his confidence had dipped since his defeat in the Australian Open final to Stanislaw Wawrinka, although he easily beat Ramos here last season 6-3, 6-0. Nadal has won 39 straight matches on the Barcelona clay. In second-round play on Tuesday, ...

They were hoping for kindly photos like the one above — showing New York's finest happily at work — but forgot that you're never quite in control in the world of social media.
