THIRSTY THURSDAY

Heyyyyyy HEY! Happy Thursday to ya! My day is going terribly. I hope yours is better.
Here's some shtuff...









THINGS YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW...
...but, maybe you did? DREW BARRYMORE has successfully performed phone sex.

She says, "Oh, I've had successful phone sex...it can work. I think it's (effing) weird...it's super weird. I totally tried it, though, with a little success at one point in my life, but it was just a thing you try, like wearing orange for a while."










KINGS OF LEON FANS...
...new stuff from them is on the way!
KINGS OF LEON'S next album...titled "Come Around Sundown"...will be released on October 19th. In a press release, the album was described as, "yet another bold and expansive statement [by Kings of Leon]." (OK?)

Drummer NATHAN FOLLOWILL recently said that the album would be, "darker"...and added, "It's got songs that are beachy, it's got songs that are a little more like our [debut full-length] 'Youth and Young Manhood'."

There ya go.







YOUR LOVE
...is my drug? Oh wait wrong song. Yesterday afternoon, played the new NICKI MINAJ song, "Your Love." Nicki has a title for her debut album: It's "Pink Friday"...and apparently, her inspiration for that was "Black Friday," the shopping holiday after Thanksgiving.

Nicki "explains," "To carry on our great tradition of Black Friday, we are going to switch it up this year in honor of the Nicki Minaj album and call that day Pink Friday and call my album 'Pink Friday'." (I'm rolling my eyes)

The album will hit stores on November 23rd...three days before Black Friday. Clearly, 3 days too soon, right? Hello, marketing department...








NEW T-SWIZZLE...
TAYLOR SWIFT wasn't planning on releasing the first single off her upcoming album, for another two weeks, on August 16th. But all that changed when "Mine" was leaked onto the Web yesterday.

After the initial shock and hand wringing...her record company regrouped and decided to go ahead and release the song immediately. "Mine" is the first single from her upcoming album, "Speak Now", which drops October 25th.

I'll try and track down a good quality version and we'll give it a listen this afternoon!








ATTENTION: GOLD-DIGGERS
Here's where you should be...
The Wall Street Journal just published a list of the 10 U.S. cities with the most millionaires. And it reads exactly like you'd expect...with one MAJOR exception.

Despite all the stories about how Detroit is a crumbling post-apocalyptic dead zone where people stab each other over government-issued food rations...it's got the EIGHTH-most millionaires in the country.

In 2009, the number of millionaires in Detroit jumped 12.1%, up to 89,100. The metropolitan area with the most millionaires is New York...it's got 667,200 people worth $1 MILLION or more. The full top 10 goes:

#1.) New York
#2.) Los Angeles
#3.) Chicago
#4.) Washington, D.C.
#5.) San Francisco
#6.) Philadelphia
#7.) Boston
#8.) Detroit
#9.) Houston
#10.) San Jose








...HOWEVER, IF YOU WANT ROMANCE...
Los Angeles might not be the place for you!
It seems that Americans have finally realized that they aren't going to end up having a Hollywood romance. And even better: We've realized that we don't WANT one.

"Travel and Leisure" magazine released the results of a survey ranking the most and least romantic cities in the U.S. And Los Angeles finished dead last...as the least romantic city in the country.

Atlanta was named the second-least romantic.

#3 LEAST-ROMANTIC?? Cleveland, Ohio. Yep. No love to be found around here. We all suck.

Honolulu was named the most romantic city in the U.S. (Somehow beating out Intercourse, Pennsylvania, which I just DO NOT understand.)

The top 10 most romantic, in order, are:
1. Honolulu
2. Charleston, South Carolina
3. San Francisco
4. New Orleans
5. Santa Fe, New Mexico
6. San Diego
7. San Antonio
8. Las Vegas
9. Miami
10. New York

OK, these are all cities that have fantastic vistas of the ocean, or mountains, or glitzy lights, etc. I call crap survey.







DUMB CROOK NEWS!!!
38-year-old Julie Bailey of La Crosse, Wisconsin, is two months pregnant. On Tuesday, she did what any pregnant woman should be doing: She got HAMMERED and tried to rob a fast foot joint with...wait for it...a HAMMER.

Around 10:40 P.M., Julie barged into a Taco John's (like a Taco Bell, they're in other areas of the country). The cashier described her to police as, "a heavy-set woman wearing an oversized floral shirt and shorts"...plus pink and white slippers.

She walked up to the cashier and told him, "I want a soft shell, and this is a stickup. Give me all your money." (yes, of course she wanted food too!)

Then she tried to pull out a hammer, which she'd jammed in the elastic waistband of her floral shorts. But it got tangled in a jumble of fabric, elastic, pregnant belly, and general chubbiness...and she couldn't get it out. LOL!

So the cashier didn't give her the money OR the soft-shelled taco...he hit a panic button by the register which called 911.

Julie tried to run but the police easily caught up with her. She was arrested and charged with attempted armed robbery and obstructing officers.

She told the police she'd put down a full 12-pack of beer that night. She blew a .219 during a breathalyzer test. Ya know, pregnant. Classy.
Mugshot?

Classy, idn't she?









That's it? For now, yes. More later if it's news-worthy!
