My New Car... Yeah Right!

Chevrolet has finally announced the price of their new Volt... (drumroll)... $41,000 or you can lease for $350/month. While it is too expensive for someone of my financial status, the lease payment makes it pretty affordable, considering you would hardly have to use any gas throughout the year! (Plus, for anyone seriously considering the car, there's a pretty big tax write off too.)

The Volt runs 40 miles on battery power, but has a reserve tank of gasoline that will get you an additional 300 miles (so you don't get stranded). I want this car!!!! (Keep dreaming)

Wild Hookups On New Bachelor Pad Show???? NOOOOOO

ABC's crazy new show Bachelor Pad promises to publicly embarrass a choice group of singles AGAIN on national TV. I love the concept of the show: take the favorite castoffs from previous Bachelor and Bachelorette shows and make them live together in a house. These people were desperate for love the first time around - I CAN'T WAIT until this show gets started - I can only imagine how wild it's going to be!!

These daters DO have an advantage though that most others don't have... they can check out all the previous seasons of the show and figure out who the crazies are!

Apparently a few people did not do their homework (pictured to the left):

Kasey Kahl (from Ali's current season - he's the one who got tattooed for Ali) found a hookup partner in Natalie Getz, who is billed as the "Make Out Bandit" in the upcoming show. Yeah, definitely avoid the guy who gets tattooed for a woman he met only a few weeks prior. Nice. Plus, there are already rumors of car accidents and fights, so I'm sure this show is going to be a winner.

Who else is in? The show starts August 9th.

Mel Gibson's Nutty Friends

If Mel Gibson were my friend - I would be moving myself as far away from his as possible right now. I know that sounds terrible, but the guy went off the deep end!!

Per Hollywood tradition, Mel has some big A-list supporters still including Robert DeNiro, Whoopi Goldberg, and Jamie Foxx. In his various rants, Mel has managed to offend every culture, race, and creed of people, it seems.

Whoopi Goldberg somehow sees through his rage and says that she knows Mel and, "he is not a racist". Interesting statement - he seems pretty racist to me! Robert DeNiro was quoted saying, "I hope he gets through all this. It's unfortunate, you know."

Unfortunate? Maybe unfortunate that he got caught!?! I guess I just don't understand where these celebs are coming from... everyone else can see that Mel's career is broken beyond repair. My advice - run far and fast from this guy!
