P!NK MIGHT BE PREGGERS....
P!NK has one of the tightest bodies in the entertainment world. But it might not stay that way for much longer. "Us Weekly" claims she has been FETUSED by her husband CAREY HART.

The pregnancy might have something to do with their brief separation in 2008. A so-called "source" says, "Pink was determined to make the relationship solid.

"Now she's really happy, and she's excited she got pregnant so fast! She'll be a brilliant mother."







GET YER 90'S ON...
Last night, I was crankin' "Comedown" by BUSH. Oddly, I come across this today. A website called AutoStraddle.com has put together an amusing list of the Top 15 Bands from the '90s We Used to Listen to . . . But Don't Anymore.

Here's their Top 15

#1.) Oasis . . . The album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" is a classic.

#2.) Goo Goo Dolls . . . Not tellin' no one your name since 1995. I still love me some Goo's though!!

#3.) Hootie & the Blowfish . . . It's the 16th highest-selling album of ALL TIME. No joke.

#4.) Belly . . . I have no idea who the hell they/this is/are.

#5.) Lemonheads . . . They had a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson".

#6.) Spin Doctors . . . Probably universally accepted as the epitome of the '90s. Got your pocketful of kyrptonite? Can't be wrong!

#7.) Stone Temple Pilots . . . another one I'll still listen to!

#8.) Live . . . still like them too!

#9.) Offspring . . . They should've done more of whatever Green Day did.

#10.) Blues Traveler . . . They sold six million copies of that album "Four" . . . and roughly 17 of those are still in personal CD collections somewhere.

#11.) Bush . . .

#12.) Crash Test Dummies . . . For a band that became popular for a song called "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm"...'nuff said

#13.) Blind Melon . . . Singer Shannon Hoon's overdose ruined what could have been a great band. They had a unique-enough sound to stick around.

#14.) 10,000 Maniacs . . . Natalie Merchant is still doing solo discs. Who knew?

#15.) Matchbox Twenty . . . I don't quite understand this. They had a hugely successful run into the 2000's!






11 BANDS WHO PEAKED IN THE '90s...WHOSE '90s ALBUMS WE *STILL* LISTEN TO

BRUNO MARS LOSES SOME CREDIBILITY WITH ME...
BRUNO MARS says he's glad JUSTIN BIEBER is lighting up the pop charts. Which is interesting, cause last time I checked, HE WASN'T lighting up the chart!

He says, "The world needs pop stars like New Kids on the Block or 'N SYNC. I grew up on New Edition. I'm not mad at [the] Justin Bieber [phenomenon] at all."

Sadly, Bruno didn't explain WHY we need pop stars like Justin...and didn't comment on whether we STILL need New Kids on the Block, because they're in their 40s and they're still at it. We can't possibly need them anymore, right?








AMERICAN WOMEN ARE QUITE SHY...
Who knew that American women were so PAINFULLY SHY?

According to a study by the social networking and dating site Badoo, American women are the second-least likely to make the first move and flirt with a guy, compared to the rest of the women in the world.

Of the 20 countries in their study, only the women of Ecuador were more cowardly. (But keep in mind, the study didn't include the notoriously shy women of some Asian cultures.)

The average American woman starts an average of 0.63 conversations with guys every month...or less than one a month. That just beat out Ecuador, where women start an average of 0.62 conversations per month.

To contrast that with the most flirtatious women in the world, the women of Spain initiate 1.33 conversations per month...or more than twice as many as American women.

The top 10 countries with the most flirtatious women are, in order: Spain, Poland, Dominican Republic, Argentina, Italy, Brazil, Chile, Portugal, Canada, and Venezuela.

The bottom 10 are: Ecuador, U.S., Belgium, France, Mexico, Czech Republic, United Kingdom, Colombia, Germany, and the Netherlands.







NO MORE "GM GOODWRENCH SERVICE"...
We're saddened today to announce the passing of Mr. Goodwrench at age 37. Cause of death: Becoming more popular than the car brands he was created to fix.

General Motors announced that they're killing off their "Mr. Goodwrench" character and concept, which started back in early 1974.

Originally, "Mr. Goodwrench" was designed to be a friendly, highly skilled mechanic who made sure to keep your GM car in perfect service. He eventually evolved into a tough guy holding up the GM logo.

Either way, GM feels that the concept of Mr. Goodwrench ended up getting away from them. His name became used to describe anyone who's handy or good with cars...most people don't even remember he has anything to do with GM.

So, because he's way cooler than GM is, they're killing him off. He'll be completely phased out by February 1st of next year.

He won't be replaced by a mascot or character. Instead of getting "Mr. Goodwrench" service with your GM car, you'll now get "certified service."

Steve Hill is the VP of customer car and after-sales services for GM. He says the company realized that Mr. Goodwrench became, quote, "disconnected" from GM and its brands and "certified service" will, quote, "link buying a car with service."







WHAT YOUR FAV TV SHOW SAYS ABOUT YOU...
If you've ever wondered what your favorite TV show says about you, you're in luck: An advertising research group called Mindset Media studied seven popular shows, and the common characteristics of the people who watch them. Check this out:

#1.) "Mad Men": People who watch it are 41% more likely to be creative and socially liberal. And they also prefer trendier brands . . . so they go for Macs over PCs.

#2.) "Family Guy": You're 61% more likely to watch it if you consider yourself a "rebel." And you're 50% more likely to watch if you're a risk taker.

#3.) "Glee": "Glee" viewers are more likely to be creative and willing to try new things. Creative types are 17% more likely to tune in, and people who search out unique and diverse experiences are 24% more likely to watch.

#4.) "Dancing With The Stars": People who like stability and respect authority are 21% more likely to watch it than people who are more rebellious.

#5.) "The Office": You're more likely to be an ELITIST. People who consider themselves superior to others are 47% more likely to watch. And viewers are also more likely to brag about their accomplishments than the average person.

#6.) "The Biggest Loser": Viewers are 24% more likely to be traditional rather than rebellious. And they're 20% more likely to watch it if they consider themselves to be practical and realistic.

#7.) "The Real Housewives": Not surprisingly, people who speak their minds and don't shy away from arguments are 33% more likely to watch. And type-A personalities are 25% more likely to watch.







HAVE A GREAT THURSDAY!
