My Son Will Love Me On The Stripper Pole

Kendra (originally from The Girls Next Door) went from dating Hugh Hefner to getting married and having a son, Hank - all while on TV. She was always a wild one - but this is too much:

When she was asked how she thought her son would feel about seeing her work a stripper pole when is grows up, she responded, "I think he's gonna love it!"

WHAT? I think she has lost her mind. Can you imaging how embarrassing it would be to be teenage Hank coming home from school with a group of his guy friends only to find his MOM on the stripper pole? I'm sure the poor kid would be horrified.

1) No one wants to think of their Mom as a sexual being (even if she is as gorgeous as Kendra!)
2) The kid would never hear the end of it from his friends about his Hot Mom!

I have nothing against stripper poles for exercise - I've heard it's a great workout - but keep it private and definitely away from your children!

Kate Gosselin - REALLY?

If you have watched Dancing With The Stars at all this season, you would have seen how terrible Kate Gosselin is as a performer. There is no reason she should still be on the show - but she is.

The bottom three couples were Pam Anderson and Damien; Kate Gosselin and Tony; Shannen Doherty and Mark. I didn't think Shannen's performances really stood out - but she at least appeared to have some sort of motivation for being on the show. Kate looked miserable and unhappy the whole time.

Even though Buzz Aldrin isn't a stellar dancer - I'm glad he's still on the show. Just for a couple weeks. He's a national hero and 80+ years old. Let the guy have some fun on the show.

More Dancing happens on Monday. I hope it will be Kate's last week!

Look out cell phone companies: a new application called Line2 is now available on the iPhone. Essentially this app allows you to use any WiFi hotspot including your home or office network to make and receive phone calls - WITHOUT USING YOUR PLAN MINUTES!

I don't have a iPhone, so I haven't tried it... (and I don't encourage using it) but it sounds like a very powerful app! It's amazing what kinds of programs people can create.

Even crazier -- it sounds like you can even download this app on your iPod Touch and use THAT to make phone calls!

The app costs $1 to download and $15/month to use - so it may or may not save you money.

It could be "too good to be true"... If anyone tries this - leave me a comment or email me annie@wbti.com.

Don't Let Snooki Near Your Kids

When I was in high school, I did my best to convince my parents that spring break was simply a fun trip with my closest girlfriends during a school vacation.

That may sound good to an unsuspecting parent, but Snooki from
Jersey Shore sheds some light on what she (and many others) do to get ready for Spring Break each year:



"You know, it happens!"

Hilarious when coming from Snooki - but really pretty scary to think thousands of high schoolers are busy planning their Spring Break trips right now.

The Octomom's Next Move

Recently we learned that the Octomom's (and the Octokids) home could soon be in foreclosure. In a nutshell, a few mortgage payments have been missed and essentially some deal was worked out in the past that a lump sum of $450,000 was due this week to stay in the house.

Looks like all of Octomom's attempts at fame haven't brought in the kind of money she was hoping for - or she blew all the cash already - who knows!

BUT - an offer has been made by Vivid Entertainment to save the Octomom! They offered to pay off her mortgage in full if she stars in their next movie. THE CATCH - it happens to be a porn movie!

How far should she go to save the home of her 14 kids? Maybe she should have thought of that a little earlier. Your thoughts?

More Reasons To Be Careful Online

Just a quick tip - if you are in trouble with the law, it is a good idea to stay far away from social networking sites! This may seem obvious, but what may be LESS obvious is that your online friends may not actually be your friends - they could be authority figures looking for information on people of interest.

More and more, criminals are being tracked down through their publicly listed friends. Also, police look for suspicious pictures of people posing with large piles of money, jewelry, or guns when solving robbery cases. Accomplices can also be identified in public photos involving crimes.

The good news: in some cases, your social networking site can provide authorities will an alibi to remove you from the list of suspects in a crime. They can use your sites to figure out where you were at a certain date and time. WOW

It's just amazing what technology can do!

Too Much Spare Time

His buildings are absolutely amazing... 34 year old Brian Berg just received an award in the Guinness Book of World Records for building the "Worlds Largest House of Freestanding Playing Cards". I've built a house of cards with probably 5 or maybe 10 cards - but he used 218,792 cards (that's 4051 decks)!

Here is his version of China's Venetian Macao Hotel


This is the actual hotel:


Pretty amazing, I think! It took him 44 days to build - with no adhesives of any sort! And believe it or not, he does have a job - he's an architect with a Masters from Harvard in Design Studies.

New Dancing Co-Host Announced

It was rumored to be down to Vanessa Minnillo, Melissa Rycroft, and Brooke Burke for the newly available Dancing With The Stars co-host position.

More likely, it was probably between the two former Dancing contestants Brooke & Melissa. Ultimately, Brooke Burke won the co-host spot that Samantha Harris held for 8 seasons.

The strangest part of the new co-host is... she looks just the same as the previous host!

I would have loved Melissa to get the job... Did ABC make the right choice? Either way, Dancing With The Stars, Season 10 begins March 22nd.

The Bachelor Or "The Cheater"?!?

The Bachelor: On The Wings Of Love may be over, however, the drama is still going strong!!

A woman who claims to be Jake's ex-girlfriend says that he was cheating on Vienna with her. Jake maintains that he dated this woman before he went on The Bachelor, but that doesn't match with the ex's story.

She says that after he proposed to Vienna and the shows taping ended, Jake returned to his hometown, they began to date. She continues to say that Jake did not even want to propose, but the producers essentially forced him to.

Do you think this lady is credible or is she just a crazy ex-girlfriend looking for some free publicity? I can't wait to see how this unfolds!!!
