Top 25 Songs In 5 Minutes (Remix)

This is amazing: 2009's best 25 songs (and videos) all mixed together in a video that's under 5 minutes!

See if your favorite songs are in the video:



Who would have thought Down, Love Story, I Gotta Feeling, and I'm Yours could be mixed together?!? I just think it's incredible!

Odd TV Duo

I don't know why I was watching The Martha Stewart Show today... but it ended up on my TV and I COULD NOT change it! Martha, as always, is a lovely, well mannered woman who enjoys cooking and crafts. Her guest --- Snoop Dogg!! Such a strange combination.

Here are a few funny pieces from the show:



Could there be potential for a full time show? Cooking with Martha and Snoop? You better believe I'll watch it! :)

My Christmas Gift

This just cracked me up - Who knew Silent Monks could sing like this?



Merry Christmas! I hope you enjoyed the video!

John Mayer Is A Tool

When John Mayer talks, he is usually being rude, arrogant, or demeaning in some way, but he does it in a way that makes people want to listen. However, today on Ellen - he probably wore the ugliest sweater that I have ever seen on a man. It was actually difficult to pay attention to anything but the shirt.

In case you are wondering what this guy is up to, he said he wants to settle down but almost in the same breath, he announced that he was taking a break from dating. That's going to make it a bit challenging to "settle down".

Anyway... the sweater... any comments?

My New Guilty Pleasure

With the ending of Dancing With The Stars, i thought that my TV life would be empty and meaningless the next season aired, or at least until Idol started again. But I was WRONG!

Enter: Find My Family. I have no idea how I wind up watching this every week - I don't plan it. It just always seems to be on the TV that is in the studio. The show helps adopted children and birth parents reconnect. It is sad and happy all at once! So far, there hasn't been a show that hasn't brought a tear to my eye. Here's a clip.



If you find yourself watching TV on Monday night at 9PM - I highly recommend this show - I think you'll be hooked! If you see it, let me know what you think of it. Happy watching!

Alcohol At Work Parties

I normally hate email forwards... but this one is hilarious!

----
For The Annual Company Picnic, management decided that because of liability issues, if we had alcohol, we could only have one drink per person...

I was fired for ordering the cups!
----

I just think those cups are outstanding! I kind of want to buy a few now for my company's Christmas Party!

Hulk Hogan Engaged To His Daughter's Twin!!!

I am officially grossed out. I heard that Hulk Hogan was engaged to his girlfriend Jennifer after dating for 2 years. THAT is not gross. I enjoyed the story to that point. The PROBLEM is in the pictures. Here is what Hulk's fiance looks like (she may look familiar....):

If you did a double take thinking that was the Hulk's daughter Brooke standing next to him... then you are on the same page as me!! His fiance bears a startling resemblance to his little girl. If you didn't see the similarity on the first picture, here are Hulk, fiance Jennifer, and Brooke together. If you can't see what I'm talking about, you may as well not read the rest of this. Now, for everyone else....

I'm speechless! If my dad were dating my look-alike, it would make me extremely uncomfortable. The situation is even more awkward than Joe Simpson commenting on his daughter Jessica's nice boobs!

Anyway... just in case you aren't grossed out by Hulk dating his daughter's identical twin... here's a picture of the lovebirds while taking a dip in the ocean.

You're WELCOME!!

Tiger Gets A New Commericial Deal!

A week ago, Tiger Woods appeared to be a happily married man with a beautiful wife and 2 lovely children. But now, three separate women have been linked to Tiger romantically. I think Tiger Woods is officially sunk in his personal life. However, his major sponsors like Nike and Gatorade seem to be sticking by his side (so far).

It looks like Tiger may be in luck though with a new endorsement deal. Well, OK, it's not really an endorsement at all. Spirit Airlines is doing some advertising at Tiger's expense. Check out this commercial:



Honestly, I think the commercial is hilarious, but a lot of people think it is completely distasteful and "too early" to make jokes like that. Really, its a win-win... Tiger doesn't get rewarded with any more endorsement dollars and you can get a great deal on a flight! Thanks Tiger Woods!!

Taylor Swift Must Be Cheating

In the past two months... Taylor Swift has won SO many awards! Yes, she is a talented singer... but is she that outstanding that she just dominates every award show? The American Music Awards aired last night. Miss Swift was nominated for 6 (the most of any artist or group) - she won 5! The one that she lost was to Michael Jackson for Best Pop Album. My conclusion: I think she is cheating (somehow).

Taylor Swift aside... here are some of the highlights (or lowlights [Lambert!!]) from the show.
-The TMobile Breakthrough performance went to the most random band they could find - Gloriana. They are a country band with a church choir harmony, if you can picture that. (Or watch the video @ 1 min mark).



So that was upsetting. That country bumpkin, unknown group managed to beat out the Kings Of Leon and Lady Gaga!

The next one I find very amusing: In the category of Favorite Soundtrack, it was between Hannah Montana: The Movie, Twilight, or Hannah Montana 3. Miley and her alter-ego had a pretty good chance of winning, but lost to Twilight. :)

And finally... they couldn't have picked a more memorable? way to end the show than with Adam Lambert. The song was really bad - but it's hard to say which was worse... the performance or the song itself. I guess we'll just call it a tie.



Wow. Yeah. I know. Bizarre.
I'm headed home to have nightmares.

More Crazy Music

This time, I think Beyonce has lost it... mainly because this is a horrible song. Crazy costumes, strange hair, and guys with giant video cameras for heads??? I would have expected this from Lady Gaga, but not Beyonce. Watch it here:



So overall... nuts! Or at least thats what I think. Anyone disagree?

Nobody Wants A Letter From The IRS

Everybody needs to pay their taxes! There is really no gray area about it. Yet another celebrity has been busted for tax evasion by the IRS. AARON CARTER! Reports say that since 2003, his tax debt had added up to just over $1,000,000!!


The worst part of this for Aaron Carter is he probably isn't making a ton of money right now. Most of his tax debt was from 2003 when he was a super famous child star. Other than Dancing With The Stars, he hasn't really done much in the past 5 years. So I have no idea where that million is going to come from. Perhaps Aaron will be spending some time in jail?? So far there are no reports of jail time that I have seen. Survivor winner Richard Hatch was in a similar boat a few years back, and he just got out of his jail cell...

But, talk about a bad month: get kicked off Dancing With The Stars, get busted for $1 million bucks of back taxes, then maybe find out you're going to jail? Even if it was a cushy, celebrity jail, I don't think he could handle it. I can't wait to see how this works out! Any predictions?

I Think I'm A Lady Gaga Fan

I can't believe that I am thinking this... but I actually and hooked on the NEW Lady Gaga song Bad Romance. I always just thought Lady Gaga was this super strange lady who made songs with crazy lyrics. (LoveGame - "I wanna take a ride on your disco stick" or Poker Face - "I'm not lying I'm just stunning with my love-glue-gunning")


However, the lyrics are beside the point. The video for Bad Romance is really weird, but I couldn't stop watching it. (Check out her shoes in the picture above!!! They look like golden lobster claws!) Watch the video here:



What do you think? Too much, just enough? I think once I saw the video I like the song a lot more. Strange how music videos can do that!

Mily Cyrus Gets Passionate

Miley Cyrus broke our hearts when she left Twitter last month. I will always remember where I was and what I was doing at the moment I heard the news. NOW she has completely turned on Twitter.

She used to be mildly obsessed with the site, leaving updates constantly on her page. Now, she says, "Twitter should just be, like, banned from this universe." (This is probably my favorite quote, which is in the video below at about 3:30.) In case you forgot she was 16, after reading that, we are all reminded.

For more, like, valley girl, like, fun, or whatever, check out this video.



I hope you, like... like, enjoyed the video!

Taylor Swift Just Might Be Funny

This weekend, Taylor Swift is hosting Saturday Night Live. I would say there are high expectations for anyone who they ask to host. PLUS... she is also the musical guest, so she has a lot going on this weekend.

The first promos for her show have been released and honestly, I think they are pretty funny... or at least amusing. My favorite is the 2nd promo with the Kanye joke and the 3rd one as well. Check all of them out here:



Although it would be easy to do tons of Kanye jokes thoughout the night... I hope they avoid the topic altogether. The VMAs were over a month ago already and NOTHING would hurt Kanye's ego more than being ignored on live TV for 1.5 hours!

Either way, I'm excited to see how Taylor does. SNL airs (Saturday) at 11:30PM.

Angelina And Rosie O'Donnell A Couple?

Rosie O'Donnell has gone off the deep end. Here are only 2 (of the many) reasons why.

1) She says she and Angelina Jolie were almost "an item" around 10 years ago.

2) Rosie explains that Angelina gave Rosie her number. THEN... they talked on the phone two or three times. AND THEN... that is it. Rosie claims that the two ladies had planned to have dinner, but it never ended up happening. Definitely not a relationship!! That Rosie is full of crazy!

You know why it didn't happen, right? My theory: Angelina probably agreed to dinner to shut Rosie up. Then Angelina probably changed her phone number that night.

However, it sounds like in Rosie's mind... the relationship may not be completely over. Rosie says she has dreams about Angie a lot still. Not only is that way to much information, but I bet Rosie's wife Kelli Carpenter is not thrilled to hear that Rosie dreams about another woman. NICE.

For once, I feel sorry for Angelina Jolie.

Adam Lambert Looks Like A Woman (On Purpose)

Now I know why I liked American Idol winner Kris Allen more than runner up Adam Lambert...

... SUPER CREEPY. Need I say more? That's the recently released cover of Adam's new album is scheduled to come out on November 23rd.

But really... what would we expect from Adam Lambert?

He took to his Twitter this morning to thank his fans who "understood" the cover. Then, he added... "Androgyny. Rock n Roll." - although I think he meant to say, "I look ridiculous on my new CD cover"

Either way... MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Sexy Halloween Costumes... On Kids!

Halloween is very close now. The trend this year seems to be fun costumes, as opposed to scary outfits. Some popular choices include superheros, Nintendo characters, princesses, royalty, and your standard ghosts. Adults tend to have sexier costumes than in previous years with tall boots, fishnets, and other revealing outfits.

Here's the scary part...
Young girls are now dressing in the sexy Halloween costumes that were previously reserved for adults!

This is a picture of Noah Cyrus... yes... a 9 year old sister of Miley Cyrus. The girl is wearing hooker boots and a super short dress! Who told her this was OK to do? Must be the brilliant parenting of Billy Ray Cyrus.

Do you think Halloween has gotten too sexy?? Would you let your daughter wear what Noah Cyrus is wearing? What about these girls costumes?

Who Wants A $3,000,000 Bra Anyway?

The details on the 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show have been revealed and it looks like this year will be a glamorous as ever! Each year, Victoria's Secret features a very special bra. Last year's edition was a mixture of almost 3,000 diamonds and rubies.

This year... they had to go one step further. It's a black Very Sexy Convertible bra with diamonds embroidered into the material. The kicker... it has a 16-carat heart shaped diamond pendant dangling in the middle! Total value... $3 million dollars!!

While I'm not normally thrilled about posting pictures of people in their underwear, this bra is a "must see". Here's the photo:

The lucky model who gets to show this off is Marissa Miller. She said the bra is "surprisingly comfortable" to wear. The V.S. Fashion Show airs on December 1st at 10PM on CBS.

Jon + The Octomom?

Nadya Suleman, better known as the Octomom, recently admitted that she has the hots for none other than Jon Gosselin! Obviously, due to their highly publicized banking fued, we can tell that the Gosselins have money. Plus, Jon seems to be in the news every day, no matter what he does. This makes Jon Gosselin the perfect Octo-target... fame AND free money!



The Octomom went on to say that she wishes the media would leave Jon and Kate alone (probably so she can re-focus the attention on her).



So if Jon does decide to dump his 20-something fling Hailey for the much older and creepy Octomom, they would officially have 22 children! That would even beat out the Duggars from the TLC show 18 Kids And Counting. Take THAT Duggars!!

On a more serious note, if Jon and the Octomom got together. I would probably set my TV on fire and disconnect the internet because I would know that we have hit the rock bottom.

Conan O'Brien = Amazing

Over the past few weeks, Conan O'Brien and Newark, NJ Mayor Corey Booker have been having a joke fight after Conan made a Newark joke during his show. It even got to the point that the Mayor banned Conan from the Newark Airport.

Friday, the NJ Mayor was on Conan's show to "solve the dispute". The whole clip is below. The highlight comes about 1 minute, 35 seconds from the end when Conan introduces the Newark Joke Box. Conan says he will put $500 every time that he makes a Newark joke.

And Conan could not resist...


Ultimately, it did work out for the city of Newark. Conan personally donated $50,000 to one of Mayor Booker's charities and NBC matched Conan's donation. Everybody wins plus we got a great viddo out of it!

When Cakes Go WAAAY Wrong

Here's a fun site to go to while you're at work (or anywhere really). It's a blog called Cake Wrecks, featuring professional cakes that just end up looking terrible. Not really funny at the time, but definitely some great photos. Here are a couple of my favorites:

First, a bride and groom. My favorite part is their eyes and mouths... just big globs of black frosting. It kind of looks like something that I drew in elementary school.

This cake is outstanding because it lacks some vital punctuation. An "!" would do wonders here. Without it, the "Way To Go Bob" sounds super sarcastic.

What if this showed up as your wedding cake? The overall shape is nice, but it just looks like a 4 year old sloppped a ton of chocolate sauce all over the cake. If that were my cake, I would hide it from the view of the guests... and from the kitchen staff as well!

And finally... this isn't a mess up, although, I'm not sure who would want to eat this cake. I just think its a funny one.

If you want more Cake Wrecks, check out their blog.

Erin Taylor Tried To Kill Me

This may sound extreme... but it definitely describes my feelings earlier this afternoon when Erin Taylor and I ended up at Circuit Training at the Blue Water YMCA. The previous week, I had promised her that I would go with her. I know that I do not really seem to motivate myself to work out, so I gladly accepted her invitation.


The first part of the plan worked, I did in fact force myself to go to the gym, which is impressive in its own right. The trouble came pretty much as soon as circuit training began. I haven't been that tired or out of breath since I was in cheerleading 6 years ago. I think Erin was tried to get my to fall over or pass our or something! However, her plan did not work.

Even though the experience sounds a bit traumatic... I would highly recommend this class to anyone. As soon as the workout was done, I felt great and full of energy. In closing... I would like to say, thank you Erin Taylor for making me workout. You are the best!

And I Almost Got Into The Whole Baseball Thing

I am a what many would call a "fairweather fan" when it comes to sports. If our local team is winning... I am get excited for them and even sometimes will find myself watching a game or two. When our teams are losing, I don't even seem to pay attention.


Well, the Tigers were doing great all year (so I hear) until right before the playoffs, so I was getting ready to jump on the bandwagon. However, their hopes of getting into the playoffs depended on one final game with the Twins tonight and they lost. The cool part is that it was a fight to the death (almost). It took them TWELVE innings to blow their playoff dreams for this year.

As for myself, I'm holding up well. I'm hoping I can throw the support I was formerly planning to commit to the Tigers and put it toward the Pistons or the next winning Detroit team. It really saves a lot of time and energy over being a real hardcore fan. Who's with me?? Anyone?

Rubbing Salt In A Wound

It seems like Ashlee Simpson missed the whole story about how her older sister Jessica just got dumped by her longtime boyfriend right before her Barbie themed birthday party. Here's an awkward photo of Ashlee and her lovey-dovey husband Pete Wentz.... and then there's Jessica.


She looks like she is miserable. Her sister is making it even worse by holding Jessica in by her shoulder. It's kind of like they are supposed to be posing for a picture, but Ashlee and Pete can't separate themselves for 25 seconds... all because her sister and that husband of hers are super insensitive. That's all I have. Thanks.

Conan Banned From New Jersey!

Honestly, the first time I saw this, I was so angry and confused with this Newark, New Jersey Mayor, Cory Booker. He said he decided to ban Conan O'Brien from the entire state of New Jersey. It all began with Conan making a joke about New Jersey. Then Mayor Booker decided to ban Conan from the Newark Airport. The next night on the Tonight Show, Conan announced that Cory Booker was banned from the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank.

This video is from Mayor Booker announcing his official banning of Conan from New Jersey! The mayor really looks serious when he is talking, but he says silly things. He calls Conan "CoCo" and begins rhyming lots of words with random foreign cities. It was at this point that I realized the video a fantastic joke. Now... for your enjoyment...



I hope Conan retaliates tonight... or a least in the next couple days. I think Conan O'Brien is hilarious!

Bat Woman Visits WBTI Studio

My former intern April wandered in yesterday evening. I never really know what to expect from her... she is always up to something awesome!

Well, I couldn't have seen this coming. She rolled in with a plastic batman mask on as she proceeded to tell me how she had been driving around with her friend while wearing the mask. I found this to be super entertaining as well as a bit ridiculous at the same time.

In case you are wondering what April looks like as Batman... look no further.

Who knew that Batman wears a pink sweatshirt?

Get A Room!

I love writing about Miley Cyrus. She is a public figure - photographed all the time and she knows this. That is why I do not feel bad about featuring her in "bad behavior stories". Liam Hemsworth has officially been her boyfriend for 3 months and counting! Here is a photo of the cute couple from Eonline:

Maybe... just maybe, they should take that somewhere private? Doesn't Billy Ray Cyrus have a pool that that can make out in? Why do they have to be out in the public on a beach??? I wonder if her new boyfriend is proud of her Teen Choice Awards pole dancing performance?

So many questions that we may never know the answers to...

Wedding Continued

I continue to be amazed how much time and consideration goes into planning a wedding. Right now Gerry, my fiance, and I are JUST trying to decide on a hall to have the reception.

We have the church picked out in St. Clair... but the reception location is turning out to be very difficult!! The Thomas Edison Inn (shown below) has always been a special place for us, so it seemed like a no-brainer that we would have the reception there, right there with a view of the boardwalk and the Blue Water Bridge.


WRONG. So far, our guest list is about 100 people larger than that room will hold. I've driven around the greater Port Huron area numerous times looking for a large venue with a water view. As always, I love any advice. Would you recommend the hall you got married in? Why or why not?

At any rate, the search continues. When we find the perfect venue... I'm sure I will be writing an excited blog about it.

More Miley Shenanigans

Miley Cyrus has started her journey to become the next teenage trainwreck like Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera in their younger years. First, if you recall, around a year ago, the 15 year old Miley was involved with what some said was a racy photo shoot. Honestly, I didn't think those photos were a big deal. Until now.


Next, she showed off her pole dancing moves at the Teen Choice Awards last month. Classy. But don't worry, her dad Billy Ray Cyrus said it was OK and she was expressing herself as an artist. That's strange to have your dad see you dance on a pole... much less approve of it! My dad would have me killed or maybe sent off to a remote location to live with Nuns for a few months.


Yesterday, another Miley Moment occured. She decided to walk an award show red carpet with a black dress and fishnet stockings! Maybe I am old fashioned, but I always thought fishnet was reserved for halloween, strippers, and sexy time. She is still 16 years old!

I can't wait until the news comes out that she had a meltdown and shaved her head. I give her another 6 months max.

VMA Quickie

Last night, MTV put on their annual Video Music Awards in New York. It was eventful, as always, probably the most exciting portion was when Kanye West crashed Taylor Swift's acceptance speech. If you want to read about that, check out Sean & Erin's Blog. It seems like everybody is defending Taylor Swift. Really... how can you not like her? If you haven't seen it yet, I posted a video of her song Thug Story... it's pretty funny! Just click on my June posts.

ALSO, while we are talking VMAs...
I think Katy Perry had the absolute coolest accessory yesterday... her dress had metal spikes on it. I'm pretty sure if someone ran into her, they would probably have to at least get a band-aid.

Ultimately, I think the dress is weird as far as how it is cut and the material it is made of... but I think Katy Perry really pulled it off great. I don't know who else could do that.

It's Wedding Season

Maybe not wedding season... but definitely wedding planning season! Over the Labor Day holiday, my boyfriend (and co-worker) proposed to me! Needless to say... I said YES. I am absolutely THRILLED.


Here's what I didn't expect: If you haven't planned a wedding recently... consider yourself lucky. We are less than 1 week into the planning and organizing and it is unbelievable all the information that you need and all the places we have already contacted! ...Not to mention all the money that is soon to be involved.

It's hard to even figure out where to start. Any tips? I would love to hear your success stories (or maybe things NOT to do). I'm new to all of this... all info is appreciated. :) :) HELP!

Devastated

I am having a very difficult time today. Someone has removed my Toll House Cookie Dough from the work refrigerator. Today, I went grocery shopping and considered purchase a slab of cookie dough, but then I remembered that I already had one in the fridge at work. From that point on, I was excited about eating my cookie dough.

Since tonight was unusually busy, I didn't get a chance to have a snack until now (roughly 11:45PM). Imagine my surprise when I searched the whole fridge and freezer and found no cookie dough!!!

Now, I know that no one cleaned the refrigerator... because while I was searching, I discovered a salad so old that it was becoming a green liquid. I also found a few varieties of moldy lunch meat. Obviously, I don't eat other people's salad, lunch meat, or old Taco Bell that I find... because that is still in the fridge. So WHY my cookie dough?!?

Authorities are continuing their investigation into the recent cookie dough thefts.

David Cook's Twin!

David Cook mentioned that he wanted to try out his acting skills in the upcoming months. It makes me wonder.. what type of character would he be best suited to play. Then I realized his twin brother is Shaggy from Scooby Doo.



Just look at the similarities!... the hair style, hair color, the small, thin frame, etc. My advice to David - keep with the singing and stay away from acting... unless you can act in a Scooby Doo movie... that would be perfect.

TACKY

Just weeks after Rihanna's now ex-boyfriend Chris Brown pled guilty to assaulting her... he shows up in a music video with a pretty tacky necklace. All it says is "OOPS!". It doesn't really matter what it is supposed to mean... it looks like a super-tacky apology for attacking Rihanna.

Not cool Chris.

Megan Wants A Millionaire... Not A Suspected Murderer

Just as I was really getting into my guilty pleasure on VH1... the show gets pulled off the air. I'm talking about the new reality show Megan Wants A Millionaire. Megan is a character, originally from another VH1 mess, Rock Of Love with Brett Michaels. Even though she got her heart broken by Brett, she managed to score a few extra appearances and even her own dating show on the network.

Now the crazy stuff:
One of Megan's final Millionaire contestants, Ryan Jenkins, is wanted by police for the murder of his wife Jasmine. She was found dead in a suitcase inside a dumpster. Since his wife was found... he has been unreachable. Police suspect that he has runaway to Canada. It's a pretty tragic, and crazy story.

SOOOO in a nutshell. VH1 does not want a suspected murderer on their airwaves and they pulled the show. I have to agree with them... especially because Megan is physically similar to Ryan's dead wife. That would be super creepy for Megan to end up with him.

Mily Cyrus Has A Brother??

Normally siblings are not that interesting of a story. For some reason, I felt the need to post a picture of Miley's older brother, Trace Cyrus. He is the complete opposite of Miley... tattoos, piercings, long black hair, and he seems pretty angry too.

However, seeing this side of the family makes me realize that a pole dancing 16 year old kind of fits into the Cyrus family.

Miley / JoBro / Disney Nightmare

I think I am getting bitter in my old age.

Today I found probably the most obnoxious grouping of "singers" ever to make a music video. The roster includes: Miley Cyrus, all 3 Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, and Selena Gomez. If some of the names are unfamiliar... it's okay. All you have to know is that they are all products of Disney.

It would be mildly annoying if the group got together to make a decent song... but they couldn't pull that off. They had to make a silly song called Send It On. A super tree-hugging song. Don't get me wrong, I like trees and I enjoy the Earth. I just find their whole song to be painful to listen to. I'd rather be crushed by a tree falling in the forest.

Enough of my rambling... see (and hear) it for yourself. What do you think?

Lady Gaga... Maybe Not A Lady?

It's all over the internet. Some sources are saying that Lady Gaga may not completely be a woman. I don't know what to think. Apparently someone has a video to prove it. While I won't be posting this video, here are a couple articles I found.


Moo News

HearldSun

I'm guessing its just a nasty internet rumor. BUT It is interesting though... if you feel the need to put "Lady" in your name... maybe you are trying too hard to convince people??

Paula Abdul Is Done!??

According to Paula's Twitter page, she is officially done with American Idol. I don't know if that is just a publicity stunt or if she is really not coming back. As long as they replace her with someone who seems like they have similar perscription/alcohol trouble... the show should be fine.

I'm thinking maybe Janice Dickinson who calls herself "the world's first supermodel," or maybe Drew Carey. He seems to have done a good job with The Price Is Right. I can't wait to see what happens. :)

Does American Idol Need Paula?

Paula Abdul has recently been making a stink about renewing her contract for Season 9 of American Idol. She is holding out for more money... so far. So I have stopped wondering "if she is coming back" and have been thinking "would Idol survive without Paula?"


Here's the deal. During the season, I think a good size chunk of Idol fans don't really care what goes on with the music... they just want to see what the judges will say. Everybody loves to have Simon and his blunt comments. People probably watch Randy because they like the term "dawg." And Paula... she is simply a train-wreck on the TV.

I think the show would still be a big hit, but things would probably suffer without her. UNLESS... they found a SUPER-MESSED UP star to take her place or maybe just someone without a bone of talent in their bodies. (May I suggest the Jonas Brothers for the talentless judges?) Who would you want to be the replacement judge if Paula leaves the show?

Beyonce & Kelly Clarkson Drama

By now, I'm sure you have heard Beyonce's song Halo. Well, if you like that song... then you are sure to like the latest from Kelly Clarkson called Already Gone.

Perhaps this can explain the situation: Both Kelly and Beyonce had OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder produce the songs in question. Kelly says that he used the same music track for both songs. Tedder denies this and answers, "...they are two different songs conceptually, melodically, and lyrically..."

Listen for yourself... is one song a rip off of the other? Let me know what you think.





I can pretty much sing Halo over the music to Already Gone... but that's just me.

SUPER HOT!

My mouth is on FIRE!! I decided to try the Lay's Flamin' Hot potato chips. WOW. I probably should have figured that they were quite strong since there is large a jalapeno pepper on the bag, but I figured I was strong enough to handle it. Boy was I wrong!!

My suggestion... if you like to live your life on the wild side... try these chips. If you are lame and bland - stick with the plain or the maybe the ridges.

President Obama Under Fire

At the All-Star game last week, president Obama had the honor of throwing out the first pitch. He did a fine job, but after the fact got a TON of criticism about his baggy "Mom Jeans"!


I admit, they didn't really look fantastic... but I'm sure they were comfortable. When it comes down to it, I'm not sure what people expect a U.S. President to wear when throwing out a first pitch... maybe a full suit? Perhaps khakis?


Also... he was not actually wearing "Mom Jeans". They were more "carpenter jeans" than anything else. Mom jeans, as I understand them, are more fitted around the hips with a very high waistline. THOSE would absolutely look horrible on President Obama (or any guy for that matter). It's funny how much drama blue jeans can cause. :)

23 Quadrillion Dollars

Imagine opening your monthly credit card statement and seeing that you owed $23,148,855,308,184,500.00! (That is 23 Quadrillion dollars or 2000x the U.S. National Debt.)

This recently happened to father of 5, Jon Seale. A dinner at Wolfgang Puck that should have cost probably $50 turned into a 17-figure bill. Jon claims he was never nervous that he had to pay that amount since it is such an unbelievable mistake.

Visa has since corrected the glitch AND credited Jon back his $20 overdraft fee. (How nice of them to do that... lol) See the entire story here.

"The Official Neckline Slimmer"

This could be the weirdest TV commercial and product yet... The Official Neckline Slimmer!

Here's how it works:
-Every day for 2 minutes, use the Neckline Slimmer. It kind of looks like your neck is doing crunches.
-There are 3 different resistance settings that you can pick from as your neck becomes stronger and leaner.
-If you want further help using this machine.... DON'T WORRY... they include a free DVD with your Neckline Slimmer so you can work your neck most effectively!

This Neckline Slimmer is just strange, especially when you watch the infomercial - the ladies are always smiling while they use it. The whole thing borders on creepy. Here is the video in case you haven't seen it yet.


Does anyone else think this product is as bizzare as I think it is? Would you order it???

3 Celebrities

Big stars are dropping like flies over the past couple days and it doesn't even seem to be drug related.

To recap (in case you have been living under a rock) Detroit-born Ed McMahon died on Tuesday at the age of 86.


Farrah Fawcett died after a long battle with cancer at age 62. She of course was famous for being one of Charlie's Angels... and this evening - out of nowhere - the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, dies from a heart attack. Read more here.


The scary part is he was only 50! These stars all had a huge impact on pop culture and will be strange without them in the news (especially Michael Jackson). Which of these stars had the biggest impact on you? Leave me a comment if you want to.
