Sued by a ghost

WOW!
More bad karma for Ed McMahon, a man that did nothing but spread good karma by presenting large checks and handing out 4 1/4 stars...geez!

Ed is now being sued from beyond the grave. The estate of Merv Griffin is suing him for 100-grand- the amount on the loan Merv gave Ed back in 05'. Ed still...STILL...has not made a payment on it.

Ed's people responded, "Anybody interested in a great house in the Summit?"

***Still love you Ed...maybe we should bring back Star Search so he can get some paycheck a comin'. I would sooooo watch it!

Former songbird goes jailbird...AGAIN


What is wrong with this woman?!? She really had it all and then POOF!
Mindy Mcready is expected to surrender to authorities today and begin serving 60 days in a Tennessee jail for violating terms of her 2004 probation. This stems from her arrest back in June after she was charged with "falsifying" her community service hours.
Mindy did however issue a statement:
I would like to thank my fans (huh?) for their unwavering support as I
continue to work on my recovery and to regain custody of my precious son,
Zander.
Mindy..clean up and come back....you were so great. Think of all of the material you have for an album already! What would be a good name for Mindy's new album cover?
      • "I Know Why the Jailbird Sings"
      • "I Won't Drop the Soap and I Won't Drop You"
      • "Singing Bars Not Living Behind Them".....any suggestions???

I love me some bacon! Cinnamon rolls aren't bad BUT together?!?

What pot-head came up with this recipe? I now bring to you a real recipe someone conjured up for cinnamon rolls wrapped in bacon....Paula Deen would be so proud.

"While grocery shopping the other day I picked up a tube of ready-to-cook
cinnamon rolls and thought hey, I wonder how these would taste with bacon. As I
read the back of the package I was reminded that the rolls are actually
un-rolled when you remove them.
I unrolled the first pastry and the length
of the dough reminded me of something. Could it be? Yes indeed. Serendipity. The
unrolled pastry was nearly identical in size to a strip of bacon. This was going
to be interesting.
After assembling all the bacon cinnamon rolls I popped
them in the pre-heated oven at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes. I then pulled
the rolls out of the oven and drizzled the icing upon them as directed.
Right from the first bite I knew we had a winner. The Smaste(tm)
rating alone was a jaw-dropping 51.93. The entire house was filled with sugary,
cinnamony, bacony aroma. The taste was both sweet and salty, a perfect
combination for a morning pick-me-up meal. Highly recommended for any bacon
lover!"

Costner is going Country!

Kevin Costner is releasing a country album on November 11th, with his country band, Modern West.
Modern West is not a new group...if you remember I do believe that was the band he performed with right here in Shreveport at the Municipal last year.....not bad.
What will his album sound like? Who cares...he is still good to look at!

First tater salad and now Duke


Tom Wopat, Luke Duke, from "Dukes of Hazard" was busted for pot possession at General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee last week.

According to TMZ, he was busted at a security checkpoint with 1.2 grams of weed. He received a $500 tickets which he paid on the spot.

Looks like those boys are up to no good again. I guess he forgot he was a duke boy not a doobie brother.

Willie wants money...


Willie Nelson and his farm aid board of directors (John Cougar Mellencamp, Neil Young, and Dave Matthews) sent an open letter to Congress asking them to give $1 billion of the $700 billion bailout package to farmers.

He has a good point! What kind of farming is he referring to?

This day in history...

On this date in 1902, Levi Strauss died. I guess he didn't have very good genes.

Just call him lucky...

If you think you have the worst luck in the world...you are wrong! This guy does...
A 46-year-old Robert Evan of Colorado was riding his bike when he was struck by a hit-and-run driver. He was taken to the ER, treated and then released.

Less than 2 HOURS later he was found lying underneath a railroad bridge with injuries to his head and leg. Apparently, after he'd been released from the hospital, Robert was crossing the bridge on his way home and was STRUCK BY A TRAIN!

Another trip to the ER and he is fine...for now. Except that police are citing him for trespassing on the train tracks...geez!

So how is your day going now? Feel like playing the lottery?

Do you love Sarah Palin?

Well, obviously not as much as this guy.


A farmer named, Duke Wheeler from White house, Ohio was so excited when Palin joined the McCain ticket that he hired an artist to mow a portrait of Palin into his 16 acre cornefield....creepy...or is it corny??? Sorry....I couldn't resist!

Blaine Blames Bush


So if you were like me and stayed awake to watch David Blaine's Dive of Death you too were left sorely disappointed.
David even admits his finale didn't go as planned, but he is pointing the finger at ole' W.
See, David was supposed to float away on those helium balloons he was attached to at the end, but instead he just hung there barley off the ground for several moments until the balloons FINALLY took him away.
Blaine says because of Bush's 15 minute speech, explaining his $700 billion dollar Wall Street bail out plan, cut into his Dive of Death...the stunt was ruined.
Wind patterns shifted and messed up everything. Seriously??? Come on Bush takes the blame for a lot of stuff...but this?!? I don't think so.

Airbag for the elderly

A Japanese company called Prop has out with an inflatable, wearable airbag specifically designed for the elderly.
How does it work?
Well, weighing in at around 2.5 lbs. it straps around the wearer's torso like a vest. If the person trips, the airbag automatically inflates in 0.1 seconds..cushioning the fall, and protecting the person's head, hips and rear. One of these puppies will set you back $1300.
One problem though: it only inflates if the person falls backward.

Looks more like something a pig would leave on the ground. Sounds tasty right?

Jimmy Wayne caught with his pants down!


Jimmy Wyane was recently spotted pants-less at theOakland International Airport. The singer was catching a flight home to Nashville on Thursday morning after a local radio show performance when a misunderstanding with airport security left him handcuffed in his boxer shorts at the security gate.

Wayne says he was groggy from little sleep the night before when he approached the metal detector in shorts, T-shirt and a sweatshirt. "I kept trying to get through and it would go off," he explains. Wayne shed his sweatshirt and necklace, but the detector still buzzed. "Finally the TSA officer said something to the effect of, 'Remove your shorts,' and I thought to myself, 'Now that sounds a little weird, but I guess it's okay – I mean they show guys in boxers in the Sunday paper ads, right? (So) I did it!"

Wayne laid his shorts on the conveyer belt to be X-rayed and walked back in his underwear and T-shirt. "He flipped!" Wayne says. "I ran back to the belt – I thought I could grab my shorts real fast – but the belt sucked the shorts up in the X-ray into the other side. So now I'm stuck in my boxers and everyone's staring."

The TSA officer quickly called for backup. "Two Oakland Raiders-sized police officers come up to me and were like, 'Sir put your hands behind your back now!'" Wayne was cuffed and questioned for 25 minutes as other airport passengers filed past – some shooting photos with their cell phones. "At least my hair was fixed," Wayne jokes.

Wayne says it was no laughing matter at the time. "I was scared to death because I thought they were going to take me to jail," says Wayne. (People)

Wayne was released without charges but he says he learned two valuable lessons from the incident: "Don't mess with Oakland," he laughs, "and watch out where you take your clothes off!"

Question: How come he kept setting the metal detector off??? He was in boxer shorts it;s not like he was concealing a weapon...right?

I would love to see these pictures....have you seen them?

Rubbing your boo-boos

Neuroscientists at England's Liverpool University have proven what moms have always known: rubbing a boo-boo makes it feel better. They discovered that gentle stroking of a painful bump on the knee or elbow stimulates "pleasure" nerves beneath the skin that help dampen the signals coming from the nerves that feel pain.

BAKED Potato , or er um Tater Salad delivers pizza


After posting bail on pot possession in Vero Beach, Florida, Ron White wanted to say thank you to the police station and county jail where he was booked by sending them pizza. The jail DID accept six pizzas, however, the police station did not because of their policy of accepting gratuities. This all went down just three hours after he was booked and then released. I guess he thought they might have the munchies too? Do you think that was really oregano on those pizzas...hmmm.

Apparently Wendy's daughter lives in Nevada with her grandmother. So Wendy, claiming she wanted her high school education, used her daughters name and social security number and enrolled at Ashwaubenon High School.

Wendy even joined the cheerleading squad, and went to a pool party at the cheerleading coach's house!

It wasn't until the $134.50 check for her cheerleading uniform bounced that officials started to do a little background searching and found out that she was indeed 33!

Wendy was arrested and set with a bond of $8,000...she could get up to 8 years in prison of a $10,000 fine.

Ironic: Her name is Wendy...she doesn't want to grow up...much like the character Wendy on Peter Pan. Coincidence? Discuss....

CMA NOMINATIONS


Kenny Chesney leads all finalists with seven nominations for the 42nd annual Country Music Association Awards. George Strait and duo Sugarland each nabbed five nominations, with Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles picking up a sixth for song of the year. Brad Paisley and Alan Jackson scored four nods each. Chesney, the reigning entertainer of the year, was nominated in that category again, as well as male vocalist, album, single, two musical event nominations ("Every Other Weekend" with Reba McEntire and "Shiftwork" with Strait) and one for video.

Nettles was tapped with a songwriter nomination for the duo's hit "Stay" and the twosome also picked up nods for entertainer, single, vocal duo, musical event ("Life In A Northern Town" with Little Big Town and Jake Owen) and video. In addition to the musical event nod with Chesney, Strait is up for entertainer, male vocalist, album and single. Strait now has 75 career CMA nominations, trailing only Jackson, who now has 79 with this year's nominations for male vocalist, album, song and video.

Paisley is up for entertainer, male, song and video.

Keith Urban, also nominated as male vocalist, rounds out the list of entertainer nominees.

The tide is turning toward newer artists in the female vocalist category where Alison Krauss (also nominated for musical event with Robert Plant), Miranda Lambert, Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood join perennial Martina McBride. The Eagles picked up their first vocal group nomination in over 30 years (they were nominated in 1976 and 1977) and were joined in the category by newcomers Lady Antebellum, Rascal Flatts, Little Big Town and Emerson Drive. James Otto, Lady Antebellum, Jason Aldean, Rodney Atkins and Kellie Pickler round out the new artist category, which was previously known as the Horizon Award.

The CMA Awards will be held Nov. 12 at the Sommet Center in Nashville and will be broadcast on ABC. (Billboard)

Carrie likes Kenny's sweat???

When Carrie was opening up for Kenny Chesney she said there were many times he would rub his sweat all over her body- YUCK! (I don't care who you are...nasty!)

She tells CMT.com, "You know,men sweat more than women. I don't sweat. But when I was opening for Kenny, he would be drenched when the show ended. he'd hug me, and I'd get all wet from Kenny's sweat."

Gross- how about a high-five instead??? Carrie is not only skinny, gorgeous, talented and now she doesn't sweat...what does she walk on water too?

Would you mind Kenny's sweat or any man's sweat. If you are like me and say, "NOOO," we could be wrong. Science says we love the sweat of a man and it is an aphrodisiac. I disagree, but then again I was never great at science. Maybe they are right there is nothing I love more than sweat rings and the smell of cold cuts on a man....ooooo baby!
Here is a link to the study: http://doctoranonymous.blogspot.com/2007/02/sweat-aphrodisiac.html

Are you right-brained or left?


If you are left brained you are generally more logical and think more linearly, while people who are right brained are more visual, spatial and creative.

Here is an easy test to help determine which side you fall on...left or right.

Start by clasping your hands together...fingers intertwined. Now look at your thumbs. If you are right thumb in on top, you are left-brained. And if your left thumb is on top you are right-brained.

Here is a full quiz you can take below, however I couldn't finish it yet because I didn't have a ruler...so make sure you have one before you start.
