YOU DREAMED *WHAT*?

Hey!! Monday's here!! Who's excited? Actually I like Monday's...I'm usually off (though I'm not today, but whatever)...I know 99% of you aren't big Monday fans though, so...not excited!

I must tell you about this bizzare-o dream I had last night. It was actually a 2 parter, but I don't really remember the first part. I know from the first part, that John Mayer (yes, THAT John Mayer) was living in Maximo. If you have no idea where that is, I don't blame you. Tiny little burg between Alliance and Louisville. Along Easton.

So anyway, John Mayer is living in Maximo. Now, the 2nd part of the dream, I know I was AT John's house. And he was dating Britney Spears, and this was apparently Britney's first day home after her big concert tour, cause she was exhausted as hell. Britney was in the living room with me, she was laying on one couch, I was on the smaller one. John was outside doing something, what, I don't remember. But Britney was pissy (I've never met her, but that wouldn't surprise me) and kept yelling at me about sh*t...I was just trying to get her to shut up so John didn't come in and kick me out! LOL!

I don't remember how that part ended, but I remember going out the backdoor and leaving. It's like a movie that has deleted scenes I guess?

WEIRD! Why? I have NO idea at all...ha!

Here's some more shtuff...








SPEAKING OF JOHN MAYER...
I'm not going to believe this until it comes from a more reliable source, but...Britain's "Mirror" tabloid claims that JENNIFER ANISTON is secretly dating JOHN MAYER again.

A so-called "source" (my fav) says John made the first move, but Jen is taking it slow because, "she's been hurt by him before and isn't prepared to go public with the relationship just yet."






AND SPEAKING OF BRIT BRIT...
About three months ago, BRITNEY SPEARS surpassed ASHTON KUTCHER as the celebrity with the most Twitter followers. But her reign is already over.

On Saturday, LADY GAGA surpassed Britney...but not by much.

As of last night, Gaga was ahead by almost 34,000 followers...5.73 million to 5.7 million. (Ashton has just under 5.6 million followers.)








FROM THE "IN CASE YOU CARED" FILES...
I'll be honest, I don't. But you might, so here ya go.
SPENCER PRATT has some sex tapes of himself and HEIDI MONTAG, and he's looking to sell.

Spencer has contacted Vivid Entertainment...the company that releases pretty much ALL the celebrity sex tapes. And there's definite interest.
There's a report floating around that Spencer wants $5 MILLION for the footage...and that Vivid might be willing to pay up.

It's not clear exactly how much material Spencer has...but some sources say there's quite a bit. Some of it was filmed BEFORE Heidi got all that plastic surgery last year, and some is from after.

On Friday, Spencer told "Us Weekly", "I've been making films since I was in the 7th grade. I'm looking forward to people seeing my directorial debut!"

There's also...allegedly...a GIRL-GIRL tape featuring Heidi and "Playboy" Playmate KARISSA SHANNON.
Karissa tells TMZ that such a tape WAS made, but she doesn't necessarily believe Spencer actually has it. If he does, and he releases it, she plans to sue.

You can probably expect Heidi to launch a lawsuit of her own if Spencer releases any footage. On Friday, after the news broke, Heidi Tweeted, "Crying."

Then she added, "Please send me your prayers and love I need it!"
On Saturday, Spencer Tweeted that he, "Promises you the 'Citizen Kane' of sex tapes. Honestly, Orson Wells makes a guest appearance."

Then he added that he, "Recommends you wait for the Special Edition Sex Tape. Blu-Ray, director's commentary, and bloopers!"

Heidi responded, "F U", with a lot of exclamation points...to which Spencer replied, quote, "Seriously? You're going to start (crap) on Twitter?"

Anyone else wanna punch themselves in the head after reading that? I feel dumber for even writing about it.







LI-LO GETS MORE POPUL-O
Since going to jail and rehab, Lindsay has DOUBLED her Twitter followers. Lindsay had 250,000 Twitter followers last December. In May, she had between 500,000 and 600,000.

Her current count is well over a MILLION...and she hasn't Tweeted anything in a month.







THE GOOGLE MOVIE IS COMING...
With everybody talking about that upcoming Facebook movie, "The Social Network", this seems like a no-brainer: There's now a movie in the works about how Google came to be.

It'll be based on a book called "Googled: The End of the World As We Know It", which was written by Ken Auletta.
It's in the early stages at this point, so there's no word on casting or a release date. "The Social Network" hits theaters October 1st. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE is in that and it looks damn good. You could GOOGLE a trailer if you'd like. EH?! EH!?!?!







THE OUTLOOK IS BLEAK...
"American Idol" will be a different beast next year...mostly because of the departure of SIMON COWELL. And like a lot of us, the show's advertisers aren't too confident about the future of "Idol".

"MediaLife" magazine conducted a survey...asking advertisers things like how long they expected "Idol" to remain a #1 show. Here are some of the results:

21% of those surveyed think that "Idol" will lose its #1 distinction THIS season...36% think it has one more year at the top...27% believe that it has two more #1 seasons left...and 11% can see it on top for another three seasons.

85% also thought "Idol's" ratings would decline MORE steeply than they did last season, because of Simon's absence.
Meanwhile, 83% named Simon as their all-time favorite judge. PAULA ABDUL...who wasn't even on the show last season...came in second with (just) 9% of the vote.

There wasn't much love for her female replacements. A majority of advertisers supported Fox's decision to let ELLEN DEGENERES go...and a majority also believe that KARA DIOGUARDI should NOT return.







GOING OLD-SCHOOL...
WEEZER is thinking about doing a RETRO tour, which would highlight their first two albums, "(The Blue Album)" and "Pinkerton".

Singer RIVERS CUOMO explains, "We have this really exciting idea to do a tour where we spend two nights in each city, and the first night, we play the entire 'Blue Album', and the second night, we play the entirety of 'Pinkerton'.

"We're just running it by promoters right now to see if there's sufficient interest in the markets to do something like that, and if they're on board, it's gonna happen."

I'll let you know if it gets off the ground.







THE EM & MC BEEF...
EMINEM and MARIAH CAREY had a serious BEEF raging last summer...(there were all kinds of disses and dis tracks shooting back and forth, and at one point, Mariah's husband NICK CANNON even got involved)...but now he says he's over it.

Eminem tells "Vibe", "You know what? I got to be honest. I really don't want to talk about her anymore only just because it's kind of like the last thing I said about her was on 'Cold Wind Blows'.

"I made the comment . . . ['Take a look at Mariah next time I inspire you to write a song.']...I don't want to keep beating a dead horse. I'm not even going to comment about it. I'm done with that whole situation. I said what I had to say. I'm done."

All the heat between them is basically over Eminem's claim that he dated Mariah for about six months back in 2001...but she's always vehemently denied that.







WELL, DUH...
I came across this, and I'm not quite sure if they were trying to present this as shocking news. Because I don't think it is! According to a new survey, most people have been loyal to their BANK longer than they've been loyal to their spouse, girlfriend, or boyfriend.

The average person has been with their bank for 16.5 years, and with their partner 14.1 years. 18% of people have even been with their bank for more than 30 years. Only 7% of people have changed banks more than twice during the past decade.

US Bank, 7 years!








FUN NEW WORDS!!!
Every year, the Oxford English Dictionary adds a ton of new words that have entered pop culture...which basically legitimizes them as part of the English language.

And this year...is no exception. Oxford has added about 2,000 new words and phrases, some of which have been making us cringe for years, and some of which are so old and lame, no one even says them anymore.

Here are some of their high-profile additions . . .

--VUVUZELA. "Long horn blown by fans at soccer matches."
--BROMANCE. "A close but non-sexual relationship between two men."
--CHILLAX. "Calm down and relax."
--SOCIAL MEDIA. "Websites and applications used for social networking."
--BUZZKILL. "A person or thing that has a depressing or dispiriting effect."
--STAYCATION. "A holiday spent in one's home country."
--CHILL PILL. "A notional pill taken to make someone calm down."
--CHEESEBALL. "Lacking taste, style or originality."
--WARDROBE MALFUNCTION. "An instance of a person accidentally exposing an intimate part of their body as a result of an article of clothing slipping out of position."
--HATER. "Negative person."
--DEFRIEND. "Another term for unfriend (remove someone from a list of friends or contacts on a social networking site)."
--LBD. "Little black dress."
--INTERWEB. "The Internet."
--FRENEMY. "A person with whom one is friendly despite a fundamental dislike or rivalry."
--TURDUCKEN. "A roast dish consisting of a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey."

Some words ARE rejected though! You won't see CANKLES in there this year!






FOOD THAT KILLS YOU...BUT OH-SO-GOOD...
Very quietly, Five Guys Burgers and Fries is becoming one of the most popular fast food chains in America. And they're doing it the old fashioned way.......by making their burgers as greasy and unhealthy as possible!!
