And that's just the START...:)
Here's some shtuff.....
GAGA LOVES HER FANS...MORE THAN HER LADY PARTS!
In a new interview with the "New York Times", LADY GAGA talked about how she weighs the needs of her fans...against the needs of her vagina.
She said, quote, "I live my life completely serving only my work and my fans. And that way, I have to think about not what is best for my vagina but what is best for my fans and for me artistically."
JAY-Z CRASHES OBAMA'S HOUSE...
JAY-Z and BEYONCÉ visited the White House last week...and they took the opportunity to pose for a few pictures, including one with Jay-Z sitting underneath the presidential seal at some big table.
TREY SONGZ and Beyoncé's mom, Tina, were also there...along with various other members of their entourage.
Check it...
BRIT BRIT IS BANNED FROM LI-LO!
Pulitzer Prize Candidate (yes, really) "The National Enquirer" says that BRITNEY SPEARS' dad has banned her from having any contact with LINDSAY LOHAN.
Supposedly, Lindsay called Britney recently, asking for tips on how to get her life back on track. And Britney's dad, Jamie Spears, hit the roof.
A so-called "source" says, quote, "He instantly phoned Lindsay's managers and told them he would not tolerate further attempts to contact his daughter. Jamie's trying to keep what he deems to be bad influences away from his daughter, and Lindsay certainly qualifies."
DIAZ AND TIMBERLAKE...
CAMERON DIAZ is looking forward to working with ex-boyfriend JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE on the upcoming flick "Bad Teacher".
She says, quote, "He's the best person for the job. He's going to be hilarious. He's clearly a very talented comedian, look at his 'Saturday Night Live' [skits]. He's fantastic, he's going to be so great."
Should J. Biel be worried? Hmmmm.
LIL WAYNE GOES TO THE BIG HOUSE...
Here's what some of Wayne's peers had to say about this travesty...
We're going to play a little game here, and rate each person's response as either "It's one year in prison"...or "It's the end of the world!!!" Here we go.
YOUNG JEEZY: "It's just an eye-opener to all of us. Instead of targeting the hustlers and the people trying to make it in the streets, now that the streets is dried up, now [the police] are targeting the entertainers and the athletes, what have you.
"Real talk, not trying to preach to the choir, we gotta be careful out here. What I mean to my culture is more than me proving a point." (???)
Grade: "It's just one year in prison"...but with the melodramatic warning that the rap community is going to have to start preparing to be treated just like everyone else in the eye of the law. Hip-hop on alert!!!
DIDDY: "The beauty about it is, he'll be back, and hopefully he'll come back a better person. Whenever we get in trouble, we're in the public spotlight.
"So hopefully there's a lot of kids out there who could learn from any mistakes that we may have put ourselves in, even if we're not guilty of the crime sometimes.
"We are human. People have to learn: 'Make sure you know where you're going, who you riding with, what the situation is.' We're targets. I'm just happy he doesn't have to do a lot of time."
Grade: "It's just one year in prison"...but with the not-so-thinly veiled suggestion that the imprisonment is unjust.
LEBRON JAMES: "[The game] is definitely gonna miss him. I think we all love his inspiration behind his music, how much time he puts into his music. The game will miss him, but we'll be waiting for him when he gets back."
Grade: "It's just one year in prison." Diplomatic as usual, Mr. James.
BUN B: (Who you've never heard of, and neither have I) "I feel bad, because I don't think anything like this has happened in music since Elvis got drafted into the Army. (!!!)
"Lil' Wayne is not just the biggest rapper, [he] is the biggest pop star right now. Maybe Susan Boyle is on his level. But when you talk about music, nine times out of 10, Lil Wayne's name is gonna come into the conversation.
Grade: IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!
SAD FACT: WE'RE TOO TIRED TO GET BUSY...
Monday, the National Sleep Foundation released the results of a new study about race and sleeping habits. Here's what they found...
According to the study, WHITES are most likely to be diagnosed with insomnia. And they're also most likely to blame lack of sleep for their poor job performance, and their inability to care for their family.
BLACKS are most likely to be diagnosed with sleep apnea. And they're also most likely to pray and have sex before bed.
HISPANICS are most likely to lose sleep over concerns about their job and money.
And ASIANS are most likely to get a good night's sleep, with FIVE in every SIX saying they sleep soundly at least a few nights every week.
But the real travesty is that overall, roughly ONE in FOUR Americans say they're so sleep-deprived that they're usually too tired to have SEX. :( :(
TSB...TIME SPENT BANGIN'
Just in case there was any doubt, Americans are nothing but a pack of liars. Here's how I know...
Recently, our friends at AdamAndEve.com asked 1,000 Americans how long their AVERAGE lovemaking session lasts. Check out the results:
According to the survey, 12.8% of Americans say their average grind session lasts ten minutes or less.
26.8% say it usually lasts 20 minutes.
31.2% say it usually lasts 30 minutes.
16.7% say it usually lasts 45 minutes.
And 12.5% say it usually last an hour or longer. Or look at it this way...
If we're to believe the results of this survey, more than THREE in FIVE Americans regularly do the nasty for 30 minutes or longer. And nearly ONE in THREE usually goes for 45 minutes or longer. And does that sound right to you?
STRANGE YET TRUE...
There's nothing worse than dropping $9 on a movie ticket, only to have the experience ruined by some jerk on a cell phone talking during the movie. Actually, maybe there's ONE THING worse...
Two Saturdays ago, an unidentified man was at the Cinemark 22 movie theater in Lancaster, California, which isn't too far from El Lay.
After the movie started, an unidentified woman in the theater got on her cell phone and started talking during the flick. So the guy asked her to turn it off.
But apparently, the woman's boyfriend did NOT appreciate this guy telling his girlfriend what to do. So he and his buddy ATTACKED the guy, and ended up stabbing him in the neck with a MEAT THERMOMETER. (!!!) OK, here's what I wanna know. WHO THE EFF takes a MEAT THERMOMETER WITH THEM ANYWHERE?!
Anyway, the man was rushed to the hospital, where he was treated for his injuries and released.
According to the police, no arrests have been made in the attack yet.
ANDY RICHTER RIPS JAY LENO!!!
CONAN O'BRIEN'S sidekick ANDY RICHTER was filling in for REGIS PHILBIN on "Live with Regis and Kelly" Tuesday...and he took the opportunity to address the NBC Late-Night Mess, which he's obviously very familiar with.
This was the first time he'd spoken out on the situation, and he didn't pull any punches...even though KELLY RIPA gave him an out when she brought it up.
She asked, quote, "Do you have any ill feelings toward NBC and JAY [LENO]...not that you're going to be honest, but go ahead. Go for it."
And, Andy opened up...and RIPPED both NBC and Jay.
He said, quote, "Um...yes. Yes, I do. Why wouldn't I? Why wouldn't I? I mean, my God, I'd be some sort of self-hater...I mean, NBC definitely...everybody said they were gonna do something, and then they didn't.
"They all said years ago, 'We're gonna do something,' and then they didn't. There was all kinds of talk about our ratings not being very good, but they were pretty good all summer. And then our lead-in changed and then they weren't so good anymore."
That new lead-in...of course...was "The Jay Leno Show".
Throughout all this chaos, we've been constantly pointing out that flaw in the ratings argument: That Conan couldn't have been expected to maintain Jay's "Tonight Show" audience, while Jay was still hosting another "Tonight Show"...just before Conan's "Tonight Show". It's silly.
You know, why would Jay's viewers give Conan a fair shot...when they could still watch Jay? How many "Tonight Shows" are they expected to watch in one night???
Well...Kelly seized on this point, and asked Andy, quote, "It's very hard, I would think, to have a lead-in for a nighttime talk show that is a nighttime talk show."
Andy answered, "Yes. It was very difficult."
And that's when he turned his attention to Jay. He said, quote, "It's very frustrating when somebody says...and especially when they're on videotape saying, 'I'm gonna take this Number One show and hand it over and hope that the next guy makes it a Number One show.' And then doesn't.
"And says things like, 'Well, I didn't have any choice. They wouldn't let me out of my contract.'"
"Which...you know how multimillionaires are always being forced to do things they don't want to do. It's frustrating. It's very frustrating."
SPEAKING OF LENO...HIS RATINGS ARE SLIPPING ALREADY...
According to the early numbers, Monday's episode drew 4.36 million viewers.
That was still enough to edge out "The Late Show with David Letterman", which had 4.19 million viewers...but it was down sharply from last Monday, when 6.6 million people tuned in for Leno's first night back.
Leno beat Letterman every night last week, but it'll be interesting to see where everything is once Leno settles back in. There are already some bad signs. On Monday night, Leno lost the coveted 18-to-49-year-old demographic to Letterman.
THE COCO TOUR IS ON!!!
First of all, I'm VERY disappointed this is coming NOWHERE close to us! :(
I hope more dates get added after a high demand. I've heard some shows are already sold out!
Over the next year or so, we're going to find out just how REAL this whole "Team Conan" phenomenon is. First up: The CONAN O'BRIEN live tour, which was just confirmed Thursday. Here are the details:
It'll be called the Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour...and it'll include 36 shows...running from April 12th in Eugene, Oregon, through June 14th in Atlanta.
Conan made the announcement on Twitter... "Hey Internet: I'm headed to your town on a half-assed comedy & music tour. Go to TeamCoco.com for tix. I repeat: It's half-assed."
As for content, Conan promises, quote, "a night of music, comedy, hugging, and the occasional awkward silence."

J. SIMPSON DOES LETTERMAN...
On Dave Wednesday night, JESSICA SIMPSON admitted that she's still friends with Dallas Cowboys quarterback TONY ROMO...and perhaps still a little too fixated on him.
She said, quote, "Tony is great, still a friend of mine. I still look at his cute butt in the outfit...uniform."
When Dave asked Jessica why they broke up, she said, quote, "You'd have to ask him that. He broke up with me on my birthday...[But] we are still good friends."
Jessica also said...yet again...that she was disappointed when JOHN MAYER leaked their bedroom secrets to "Playboy".
And she added, quote, "It was definitely a compliment, in a way. I don't really want people to know that about me. I'm like the good girl, then that happened."
When Letterman suggested that Jessica could be BOTH a good girl AND sexual napalm, Jessica said, "I am. But he gave away my game."
She also said, "I will always care about him. I think he's a great person, a great musician, but I was very disappointed by the article."
BETTY WHITE...SNL...DEETS!
88-year-old BETTY WHITE recently confirmed that she WILL be appearing on "Saturday Night Live" this season...and now we finally have the details.
She will be hosting the May 8th episode...and contrary to early rumors, she will be hosting alone. (Not as part of a group of comediennes.)
However, it's going to be a special Mother's Day episode...which will also feature the returns of six female "SNL" veterans: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch.
So even though Betty will be hosting solo, the "SNL" reunion would allow her to take a more limited role in the sketches, if she chooses to.
But it sounds like Betty is up for anything. She says, quote, "I've got so much energy, it's ridiculous. I love working. My schedule is a feverish one, and I'm used to that."
As you probably know by now, the rush to bring Betty to "SNL" was started by a Facebook campaign called "Betty White to Host SNL (please?)!"...but "SNL" boss LORNE MICHAELS said he's, quote, "always wanted" her to do it.
And Betty backs that up...quote, "Years ago, I turned it down three times. It's so New York, and I'm not New York at all. But my agent said he'd divorce me if I didn't do it, and I love my agent."
COLLEGE COURSE STUPIDITY...
If you're still clinging to the idea that college isn't a complete joke, you need to hear this list from the Huffington Post, identifying the ten most ridiculous college courses you can actually take at schools around the country. Check it out:
At Santa Clara University, you can take a class called The Joy of Garbage, where you explore "the technical aspects of decomposition and waste processes."
At Cornell University, you can take a class called Tree Climbing. (Once, while in Columbus, I passed a sign "Men In Trees"...like a "Road Construction Ahead" sign? I SO wanted to steal that!)
At Georgetown University, you can take a class called Philosophy and "Star Trek".
At UCLA, you can take a class called Queer Musicology, which explores pressing issues like "the possibility that being gay makes music by gay composers sound different to you than it would if you were straight."
At Pitzer College in California, you can take a class called Learning from YouTube, which...shocker...consists of "students watching, discussing, and commenting on YouTube videos."
At Stanford University, you can take a class called iPhone Application Programming. (Actually, if you went to college to get a decent job afterwards, this class might not be such a lame idea.)
At Alfred University in New York, you can take a class called Maple Syrup; The Real Thing.
At Frostburg State University in Maryland, you can take a class called The Science of "Harry Potter".
At Centre College in Kentucky, you can take a class called The Art of Walking.
And at Reed College in Oregon, you can take a class called Underwater Basket Weaving. No, really.
CONCERT NEWS: PEARL JAM
If you like you some 90's rock, PEARL JAM will play at The Q on May 9. Tickets on sale next weekend!
MICHELLE BRANCH...
She hasn't done much musically for awhile, but she IS in a mag called "Inked" showing off some 'artwork'....I'll be honest, I've ALWAYS liked me some Michelle Branch. She pushes my hot button.
Of course the Michelle Branch fascination hit full-speed ahead back in 2004 when she popped up in Maxim wearing THIS....
WHAT'S ON YOUR GPS...
I will never own a GPS. If it comes standard on a car I buy, I doubt I'll ever use it. BUT, many of you do...
Last December, a communications company called TeleNav conducted a study to find out what business GPS users search for most often when they're on the road.
The results:
#1.) Wal-Mart
#2.) Starbucks
#3.) Target
#4.) Best Buy
#5.) Bank of America
#6.) Walgreen's
#7.) Pizza Hut
#8.) Home Depot
#9.) McDonald's
#10.) Chase Bank
That's about all...it's wet out...stay dry!
