YOUR ASS IS GETTIN' ICED...AGAIN!

Winter Weather Advisory tonight...Winter Storm Warning if you're in Akron or Kent-Ravenna. Snow north, ice and rain for Canton. Hopefully not too bad. Here's some stuff. Btw, on Q92 7-Midnight tonight, let's hang

CHARLIE BIT ME...
I'd imagine Bree Olsen is into that sorta thing...
CHARLIE SHEEN took off for the Bahamas on a private jet yesterday, and he had THREE WOMEN with him.

One of them was that girl he's been running around with lately...who's been identified as Natalie Kenly. Then there's mattress actress BREE OLSON. He was romping around with her...oh hell, that was recently too, about 3 weeks back.

And Charlie's third angel is his ex-wife BROOKE MUELLER. (???) Yes, Brooke is back in the picture. RadarOnline.com claims that she even moved back in with Charlie a few days ago...along with their twin boys and the nannies.

How messed up are THESE kids gonna be!? My God!
A source says, "Her family is furious. They think this is the worst thing for her. Nothing good is coming of this. These two are terrible together."

We don't know exactly what the status of Brooke and Charlie's relationship is this time around. But we do know that there are no kids with them in the Bahamas.

But Brooke's dad says she's not in Charlie's house permanently. Just until Charlie buys the house he promised Brooke and the kids. (We still don't know if DENISE RICHARDS is taking Charlie up on that offer.)

What everybody's going to wonder now is if Charlie is off the wagon again. And it sounds like he might be. A source says, "Charlie is back to his old self, and that's not a good thing. So much for rehab at home. At this point, that's a joke."

Charlie is expected back on the set of "Two and a Half Men" on Tuesday.







TIME TO FIX THIS SH**...
After admitting to "GQ" that "Hannah Montana" destroyed his family, BILLY RAY CYRUS now tells "People" magazine that he has to build it back up.

He says, "It is very important to me to work on mending my family right now."

Billy Ray says he didn't intend for his comments to be so "explosive", adding, "My family is the most important thing I have, and we are working together to make sure our future is stronger and healthier."

Billy Ray has been spending time in Los Angeles with his wife TISH and their 11-year-old daughter Noah.

And he says, "It is all a learning process, and we thank everyone for their support and respect of our privacy as we sort through very important family issues."







RIHANNA IS A PIMPTRESS...
We heard recently that RYAN PHILLIPPE tried to put the moves on RIHANNA, and she totally shut him down. Well, that might not have been exactly true.

A source tells "Us Weekly" that Ryan SCORED...quote, "She thinks he's hot. They totally had sex. And it wasn't even the first time!"

Ohhhh sources. The source sounds 14. Seriously.

The source says their first hookup occurred back in December, when Rihanna broke up with boyfriend MATT KEMP of the L.A. Dodgers. Whatever Rihanna and Ryan are doing now, they're keeping it casual and on the down-low.

Let's not forget, Rihanna is supposedly also sexting COLIN FARRELL.







THE GREAT FACEBOOK RACE...
"American Idol" and SIMON COWELL'S "X Factor" won't only be competing for similar talent and viewers...they're also now competing to be the first competition show to have online voting through Facebook.

The "Hollywood Reporter" says Simon is working on a deal with Facebook that would allow them to have an online voting system in place for "X Factor's" first season, which premieres this fall.

Viewers would have the option of somehow voting on their own Facebook page, possibly through an "X Factor" application. Not every week though...Facebook voting would be reserved for the FINAL rounds.

This is in addition to the phone and text voting, which would still be available.

But there's a chance it WON'T happen...if it's not possible for the "details and security issues" to be worked out in time.

"Idol" would premiere the following winter...which means they might have a little extra time to swoop in and do the Facebook thing first.

Maybe. The "Hollywood Reporter" says, "there are not currently plans for Facebook to be involved with 'Idol'."

OK. But how's THIS for a second opinion . . .

"Entertainment Weekly" claims "Idol" IS chasing Facebook voting...and HAS been working on a system. In fact, they say "Idol" plans on making an announcement soon, and will debut Facebook voting soon.

Is that "soon" as in this season?
No. It's "soon" as in...TUESDAY

"Entertainment Weekly" says "Idol" has been working on this for a while now. Viewers will use their Facebook accounts to access a special "Idol" voting page. Fans will be able to vote 50 times during each voting period.

Why 50? Why not 25 times? Hell, why not just ONCE!?

There's been no official word on any of this.







HEADLINE: Justin Bieber Doesn't Care What You Think Of His Haircut
Well THANK GOD for that, right?! zzzzzzzzzzzzzz






GOT A 'VOICE'?
CEE-LO, ADAM LEVINE from MAROON 5 and CHRISTINA AGUILERA may end up judging a new NBC singing competition called "The Voice". In this one, the judges don't get to see what the contestants look like when they audition. CARSON DALY will host.







RANDOM CRAP TO ENRICH YOUR LIFE...
Even though this seems IMPOSSIBLE in 2011...5% of American households don't have microwaves. It's true. Think your grandparents. I'm not sure exactly what they're doing without them...but they're microwave-free.

In 1971, 40 years ago, less than 1% of households in the U.S. HAD microwaves.







THE RUSSIANS DRINK LIKE FISH...
We know Russia is a hard-drinkin' country, but we didn't know they were THIS hard. Until Tuesday, beer was not classified as an alcoholic product in Russia...because it wasn't alcoholic enough to count. They used to call it a FOOD.

Now, the Russian parliament has finally acknowledged that beer gets you drunk, just the same as vodka. One in five male deaths in Russia are caused by alcohol.





FORM YOUR OWN OPINION...
Back in November of 2009, 30-year-old Alini Brito and 34-year-old Cindy Mauro were teachers at James Madison High School in Brooklyn, New York. Alini was a Spanish teacher, Cindy was a French teacher.

During a student talent show, they ducked out and went to a classroom together.

That's where a janitor said he found them...having a LESBIAN SEX PARTY. He said he found Alini topless and Cindy fully naked, kneeling down, performing on her.

Both Alini and Cindy were fired.

They claim the entire thing was the janitor's imagination running wild. They say that Alini's diabetes was acting up, and Cindy was helping give her candy and sugar. (Well, at least ONE of them was getting the candy and sugar. HI-YO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

The janitor swears he saw what he saw.

Anyway, Cindy and Alini just filed a lawsuit against New York City for $2 MILLION for wrongful termination.

People will sue for A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G!
Their lawyer says, quote, "They've had to deal with these false allegations of engaging in lesbian sex. It's been painful. Aside from losing their jobs, their reputations have been ruined."

Wanna see what they look like? SURE YOU DO!
Cindy is on the left. Alini could drop my place if she wanted...oh wait, lesbians. Eh maybe she's bi.









HEY CAVS FANS...COULD BE WORSE!!!
Caltech...in Pasadena, California...is an amazing school. It has fewer than 1,000 undergraduate students a year, but has churned out 31 Nobel Prize winners and some of the best science and engineering minds in the history of America.

What it's not good at...is sports. Believe it or not. Caltech doesn't give out athletic scholarships, so anyone who plays on their basketball team has to get into the school the hard way...by being a super genius/gigantic nerd.

But they have a Division Three basketball team. They're part of the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. And Caltech holds quite a record.

They had a 26-YEAR, THREE HUNDRED AND TEN-game losing streak in the conference. They hadn't won a game against another SCIAC team since January 23rd, 1985. Until Tuesday.

On Tuesday night, the Caltech Beavers beat their SCIAC rivals, Occidental College, 46-to-45 in their final game of the season to snap the streak. (the same Occidental College that PRESIDENT OBAMA went to. How embarassing for THAT school!)

Besides owning the worst CONFERENCE record in history, Caltech is also the NCAA record holder for the worst losing streak in general. In 2007, they snapped a 207-game losing streak by beating Bard College of New York.






ALL YOU 'DAVE' FANS...

IF YOU'RE BOTH SLUTS...YOUR RELATIONSHIP SHOULD LAST!
Here's a new way to try to predict whether your relationship has a future. If you're dating someone just as SLUTTY as you, it's all good. If you're dating someone just as pure and virginal as you, same thing.

But a woman who's gotten-it-on with the entire 2009 Cleveland Browns team is going to have trouble settling down with a man who's saving himself for that special, perfect lady.

A study at Rutgers University found a very strong connection between long-term romantic partners and the number of sexual partners they had when they started the relationship.

For married couples, they found that husbands and wives with similar sexual histories had higher levels of love, satisfaction, and commitment than couples with mismatched sexual histories.







WHEN YOUR BOYFRIEND DOESN'T COME THRU...YOUR 'BOYFRIEND' WILL!
If you're feeling lonely there's a new service out there that will...well...probably make you feel much, much lonelier in the long-run.

It's called Text Boyfriend. If you sign up, you pay $6-a-month to receive three sweet, loving texts every week from...an imaginary boyfriend.

In their marketing, they say, "It's cheaper than sending yourself flowers." If you want to sign up, the site is TextBoyfriend.com.







COLLEGE CHOICES? CROSS THIS ONE OFF!
My little sister will be looking at colleges soon. I hope this is NOT on her list!
A huge brawl involving at least 20 or 30 students broke out in the cafeteria at Alabama State University on Monday.

Somehow no serious injuries were reported, even though several students threw chairs, and at least one guy got pounded on by four people at once.

Police arrested one student on the spot, but they're reviewing the video of the fight that was posted on YouTube. So I assume more students are ABOUT to be arrested.

Radio Personality Confirms: "Yes, I got my hair cut"

The online world has been a buzz for the last 24 hours with the news. Did he, or didn't he? We have confirmation this afternoon: Rob Mackenzie has cut his hair.

"Well, I didn't do the actual CUTTING of it", says Mackenzie, of radio station Q92, in an email this afternoon.

Obviously, this is monumental news. It's not everyday someone gets their hair cut.
There have been numerous sightings reported, but so far, no one can offer photographic evidence.
"I saw him. He stopped in the other night, very late. It's shorter", commented Kayla Loy, manager of a local Sheetz convenience store. "I think the guy has a bit of an ego. He's just trying to get some attention."

Mackenzie says "Not the case. It was on my ears. That's annoying. I hate it when it touches my ears"

He didn't shave it completely bald though. He jokes, "I've often thought about that though! I've mentioned it to friends before. I may do it someday but I'm afraid I'll look like a giant cue ball and it'll never grow back. And that would be bad."

EVERYTHING YOU COULD POSSIBLY WANT TO KNOW...

Well. Maybe not everything. But alot!

FROM THE: "WE DON'T CARE" DEPARTMENT...
JUSTIN BIEBER bought out an entire flower shop in order to fill SELENA GOMEZ'S house with flowers last Wednesday. Ya know, cause they aren't dating.

He literally bought every flower in the joint...and it took several truck loads to deliver all of them. Sources say Selena loved it.

In another month, sources will confirm that Selena was caught in bed with another guy.








ANOTHER 'MAJOR LEAGUE'?
CHARLIE SHEEN had a little party over the weekend...but as far as we know, there was no cocaine, and there were no porno stars.

Instead, he invited some Major League Baseball players. They were: Pitcher BRIAN WILSON of the World Champion San Francisco Giants, and retired TRIBE legends Kenny Lofton and Eddie Murray, Lenny Dykstra and Todd Zeile.

PETE ROSE was invited, too, but he couldn't make it.

Charlie flew them to his home to watch his baseball movie "Major League" in his screening room.
Charlie also brought in "Major League" writer and director David S. Ward to talk about the movie.

And he let the players try on BABE RUTH'S 1927 World Series ring...which is part of his extensive baseball memorabilia collection.

He called it, quote, "The ultimate VIP baseball excursion."

On a related note, there's been talk of a new "Major League" movie that would reunite Charlie, TOM BERENGER and WESLEY SNIPES for the first time since the 1989 original.

Sources say Charlie is totally down with this...and he's doing everything he can to make it happen. Although Snipes may be out of the picture if they want to roll cameras soon...since he's doing his time for tax evasion.

Snipes bowed out of the first "Major League" sequel, "Major League 2"...which came out in 1994. His character was played by OMAR EPPS.

(There was a third sequel in 1998 called "Major League: Back to the Minors". None of them were in that one. The only returning actors or characters were Corbin Bernsen as Roger Dorn, Dennis Haysbert as Pedro Cerrano and Bob Uecker as announcer Harry Doyle.)

Here's how we know CHARLIE SHEEN is still on drugs: He wants to move both of his ex-wives into his neighborhood.

--ALSO--

Charlie is reportedly looking for two homes in his gated community...one for DENISE RICHARDS and one for BROOKE MUELLER. He'll pay for the homes and moving expenses for both ladies, too.

That way, he'll be a lot closer to his four kids...and the kids will have a chance to get to know each other, too.

A source says Brooke loves the idea, and is likely to take Charlie up on it. No word yet about Denise.








NICKI MINAJ, YOU'RE AN IDIOT...SO ARE BEYONCE, J.LO, AND CIARA...
This has gotten so incredibly stupid. I'm tempted to give Beyonce a pass since she started it, but it's still not that creative so I won't.

BEYONCÉ has had her alter ego "Sasha Fierce"...CIARA has "Super C"...JENNIFER LOPEZ has "Lola"...and now NICKI MINAJ has outed her alter ego.

Literally. He's a gay boy named "Roman Zolanski."

Nicki explains, "Roman's a little gay boy who lives in me...and every time I talk he sort of just appears and I tell him, 'Roman, you know, stop it, you've gone mad, I tell you, mad.'

"He's an outlet to say what I need to say but sometimes don't want to."

Ugh.







OH, THESE ARE MY FAVORITES...
According to "Men's Health", the position you sleep in at night could reveal certain things about your personality.

Researchers surveyed 1,000 people and watched them sleep. Here are the five most common positions, and what they mean.

#1.) The Fetus Position. It's the most popular position, and 41% of the people who were studied prefer it. Seems a lot of females sleep this way, no? Here's what it means:

If you sleep on your side, people think you're tough, but you're actually shy and sensitive. And it might take a while before you warm up to strangers, but once you know them you're much more relaxed.

There's also one health concern: If you sleep on your LEFT side, it can put stress on your liver, stomach, and lungs. So sleeping on your right side is better.



#2.) Sleeping on Your Side, But Not Curling Up. It means you're social and easygoing. But you also tend to trust people too much, so you're easy to take advantage of.



#3.) The Yearner Position. It's when you sleep on your side with both arms out in front of you...and it means you're open to new things, but also suspicious and cynical.

It takes you a long time to make decisions. But once you do, you don't change your mind very easily.



#4.) Sleeping on Your Stomach. People who sleep on their stomach with their hands above their head are good at making quick decisions...but sometimes that results in BAD decisions. And they tend to take criticism personally.



#5.) The Soldier Position. It's when you sleep on your back with your arms out at your sides, and your legs slightly spread. If that's you, then according to the study you're quiet and reserved, but you expect a lot out of yourself and others.

And there's also a good chance you snore, since sleeping on your back makes it harder to breathe. You'll sleep better...and so will the person next to you...if you flip over and sleep on your stomach.

I'm pretty sure this is why I'm a screw up in life. LOL









WHO IS: SKYLAR GREY
http://music-mix.ew.com/2011/02/22/skylar-grey-interview-eminem-dr-dre/
It won't let me copy and paste the article here.

PUT YOUR BLOG TITLE HERE

^ I got nothing for a name. Just read it!

BIG-DADDY...THE FOLLOW-UP
I gave you a slight tease to this the other day. Here's the full run-down.
It is ON between BILLY RAY CYRUS and the show that made him a household name again. In an interview with "GQ" magazine, Billy Ray comes down HARD on "Hannah Montana".

He says, "I'll tell you right now...the damn show destroyed my family."

WOW!
With his marriage in the crapper and MILEY going off the rails, Billy Ray has nothing but regret about doing the show.

He says, "I hate to say it, but yes...I'd take it back in a second. For my family to be here and just be everybody OK, safe and sound and happy and normal, would have been fantastic.

"Heck, yeah. I'd erase it all in a second if I could."

Because he chose to do the show with Miley in order to stay close to her, Billy Ray says he was unfairly blamed for every scandal she got involved in...from her too-sexy "Vanity Fair" photo shoot to her pole-dancing escapades.

He even claims Miley's handlers set him up to take the fall...quote, "All those people around, they used me every time. It became so obvious that, man, no matter what happens, they're going to put you up there and let you take the bullet."

But he let it happen because, quote, "That's what daddies do...Okay, nail me to the cross. I'll take it."

But last year, Billy Ray had enough of being Miley's garbage boy. Her 18th birthday party was being held in a 21-and-over club...and her people wanted Billy Ray there so that if any bad press came out of it, they could say he endorsed it.

As you recall, some bad press DID come of it, if you recall the pic of Miley and some guy all over eachother pressed against the bar.
Billy Ray refused to show up. He says, "I started realizing I'm being used. If I would have went out there I would have been right in the middle of all this stuff that's going on right now with the bong.

''They'd be hanging my ass. I had the common sense...I said, 'This whole thing's falling apart up there and they just want to blame all this stuff on you again.' I'm staying out of it."

GO BIG-DADDY!!
As For That Bong Scandal..

One thing Miley's people told Billy Ray to stay out of was the bong scandal. He says, "I didn't know what the footage was. They told me, it was none of my business.

"I'm dealing with somebody that had only known my daughter for possibly four years, and I'm her daddy. I was pretty damn insulted. And I took that as the ultimate alarm.

"'It's none of your business'! None of my business that you're out running around L.A. trying to buy kids' computers and phones because there's something about my daughter?"

Obviously, Billy Ray isn't really worried about himself. He's worried about Miley. He says, quote, "I'm scared for her. She's got a lot of people around her that's putting her in a great deal of danger.

"I know she's 18, but I still feel like as her daddy I'd like to try to help. Take care of her just a little bit, to at least get her out of danger."

He adds, "I want to get her sheltered from the storm. Stop the insanity just for a minute. When you go through what she's been through, it takes a beating on you. And there comes a point where you just got to step back."

Billy Ray even draws parallels between Miley and certain celebrities who died too soon.

He says, "I'm concerned about Miley. I think that [KURT COBAIN'S] world was just spinning so fast and he had so many people around him that didn't help him.

"Like ANNA NICOLE SMITH...you could see that train wreck coming...MICHAEL JACKSON...I was trying to reach out to Michael Jackson."

OK, REEEEEEALLY?! I mean, I don't know if I buy THAT, but whatever. Moving on...

One of the reasons things have gotten to where they are is because Billy Ray tried to be more of a FRIEND to Miley than a PARENT.

He says, "I should have been a better parent. I should have said, 'Enough is enough...it's getting dangerous and somebody's going to get hurt.'

"I should have, but I didn't...Honestly, I didn't know the ball was out of bounds until it was way up in the stands somewhere."





THE WACKIEST-NAMED RAPPER GOT IN A SHOOT-OUT...
WAKA FLOCKA FLAME (he has that new song 'No Hands') was questioned after a SHOOTOUT in Charlotte, North Carolina, yesterday.

Here's what we know:
Waka was at a place called the Car Stereo Warehouse getting the sound system in his tour bus pimped out.

The local authorities told the "Charlotte Observer" that two vehicles rolled up to the parking lot at around 4:00 P.M....and at least one of them opened fire on the tour bus. Waka's entourage retaliated by returning fire.

One person was shot in the shoulder, and was taken to the hospital with "non-life-threatening injuries." That person's identity was not released, but it wasn't Waka.

Waka's publicist told RadarOnline, "[His] bus was shot four times, [and] security followed appropriate protocol and returned fire. Random cars apparently pulled up and began shooting, so I am told. Waka is fine and so is his team."

No charges have been filed yet, and police aren't sure WHY all this went down.







GONE...
At least at MY family gatherings, perhaps at yours as well, there seems to always be some mention of 'piling the family into the station wagon'...
It looks like the station wagon is about to disappear.

Volvo was the last company carrying the torch for the station wagon. Sure, other manufacturers might throw one token one out there, but Volvo has been leading the station wagon movement for at least 20 or 30 years.

And now they're done. And the entire station wagon genre looks like it'll be done with them.

Volvo has announced that they are going to stop selling station wagons in the U.S. because there's no market for them anymore. Last year, they only sold 480 V50 station wagons. Total. In the entire country.

The website Edmunds.com still lists 31 station wagons, but the classification they use is pretty fuzzy...very few of the wagons on their list remotely resemble the classic station wagon from "National Lampoon's Vacation". The Family Truckster!

Most of them are more like minivans that are sort of shaped like the older wagons, or family vehicles like the Dodge Caliber that are in between a car and a van.

Volvo says that between minivans, crossovers, and SUVs, families just aren't interested in the more old-fashioned station wagons anymore.

THESE TEMPS ABOUT TO BLOWWWW-OH-OH-OH-OHHH-OH-OHHH

Hello warmth and spring TEASE!! Here's some goodness for your Tuesday!

KESH-KESH!
KE$HA has an interview in the new "Rolling Stone"...and on the magazine's website, they hype her as a, quote, "refreshingly candid pop star...[who] isn't afraid to admit potentially embarrassing details about her life, or playfully discuss her plans for the future."

Kesha told "Rolling Stone" her winter vacation was wild: Quote, "I went scuba diving with a bunch of sea creatures...angelfish, sea turtles, stingrays, barracuda and a hammerhead shark...on a boat with a bunch of grizzly bearded dudes.

"I got a tattoo of a feather on my foot from a crackhead."

Are things like that REALLY a unique glimpse into Kesha's world...or is "Rolling Stone" being duped by the latest "craziness" that she concocted on her last plane ride? Is she just attention-starved? I'm just tossing it out there as a possibility. It IS show biz after all, and part of this is 'the show'

Oh, and there's this. "Vanity Fair" asked Kesha how much she spends on glitter, and it turns out it might be more than your salary.

She said, "Honestly, it's pretty exorbitant. It's probably more like a few thousand every month. If you come and see a show of mine, there is no shortage of glitter. By the end, everyone is covered and potentially choking on glitter.

"I am shooting glitter from glitter guns...and out of every orifice in my body. (There's your visual) It's really a big part of what I do. It's my goal to cover the planet in glitter and take the (eff) over. I can't do that if I don't have a (crap)-ton of glitter.

"I've found glitter in places that will not be named in this interview."

Hot?

TALKING TO YOUR BABY...
According to a survey commissioned by Jiffy Lube, three out of five Americans talk to their cars. Here's what they're saying...and they could give more than one answer.

50% have thanked their cars for a job well done, like getting them somewhere on time.

39% of people say they verbally encourage their cars. Like, "Come on, get up the hill without making me turn off the heat. You can do it. You got this. You're a beast."

32% have apologized to their cars, either for reckless driving, getting in an accident, putting them through bad conditions, and more.

30% beg or plead with their cars.

21% of people talk sweet to their cars while RUBBING the dashboard, steering wheel, or some other part. (How PG of them not to include the gear shift as one of their examples.)

And 17% of people try to bribe their cars by verbally promising them premium gas, a car wash, and other special gifts.






POST V-D STUFF:
If you're male, you didn't have a Valentine yesterday, and you bought YOURSELF flowers to feel better about yourself...congratulations. You are the most unique man on the planet.

According to a survey about flower buying on Valentine's Day, yesterday, 23% of women who got flowers purchased them for themselves. And 0% of men purchased flowers for themselves. So if you did, stand up, because you have not been counted.

THE LOVE LIST

A little different than normal blog today...celebrating Valentine's Day...with "Love" songs!

Boys Like Girls bring us this smash from 2 years ago:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0c-kC8xZ-I

Robyn wants you to show her love, alright:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhWEI6-_w9E

But, Robin S. wanted that first, about 4 or 5 years earlier:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lwaxy3KCfgQ

J.Lo wants you to know, her love doesn't cost anything. So, she's not a hooker? That's good!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvjRrwR2eA4

...that's IF you can get it...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYfkl-HXfuU

A remake, but a little more chill after the last few...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egX9ZDaIrkU

I didn't say "Love" had to be in the song title...love this song though!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NA48UF7sFE&feature=fvst

Even if it takes all night?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPzdXG-8r3A

awww yeah, CRANK THIS one!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3Yrhv33Zb8

This one takes me back...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwKvwD97cf8

A future classic...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uelHwf8o7_U

This is a GREAT song that got lots of airplay at Alternative rock stations a few years ago:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy-S2WrX-8o

Every lady loves a little...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ3slUz7Jo8

We played this for a bit...the blonde is a cutiepants in the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o--wbO-K6E

A classic...and listen to the recording quality...even though it's Youtube, it still sounds incredible. They don't record music with NEARLY the quality and fidelity that they used to, and it really bothers me:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdXryyFw7No

I grew up listening to the last station I worked for. Even though this is from the late 80's, I can remember them playing this all thru the 90's when I was a kid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWd__w5UWVc

Eh....why not!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjgZZGo881E

While we're in the "Luv" section...

GRAMMY THOUGHTS

COLDER-THAN-WEDNESDAY THURSDAY

BRRR-R-R-R....R...R




COLD HARD B*TCH...
OLIVIA WILDE may not be a princess for much longer. She and her husband of eight years, Tao Ruspoli, have separated. And yes, he is an honest-to-God Italian prince.

Back in November, Olivia told "Playboy" magazine, "I never call myself [a princess]. I occasionally get mail that says 'Principessa.' (Which is Italian for "princess", FYI. Yeah I'm worldly.)

"It's all part of being this lucky person who has been welcomed into an interesting family with a long history...How many people get to say, 'This castle has been in our family since the 1400s?'"

Olivia eloped with the prince when she was just 18 years old. (She's 26 now...and he's 35.) They got married in an abandoned school bus in rural Virginia. I'd love to know WHY THE HELL they did that?!

In that same "Playboy" interview, Olivia said, "We were hippies. We lived on that bus for months."

There's no official word why they broke up. But a source says it's because Olivia wants to go BUCK WILD ON OTHER GUYS. A source says, "Her career has exploded and she saw being married is not as much fun.

"She feels she missed out on being single getting married so young, and wants to sow her wild oats."

Sowing wild oats? The source must be 115 years old.








ROCK HALL INDUCTORS...
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced the presenters for their induction ceremony next month.

ROB ZOMBIE will induct ALICE COOPER.

ELTON JOHN will induct LEON RUSSELL, which is appropriate since they just released a joint album called "The Union" last fall.

PAUL SIMON will induct NEIL DIAMOND.

NEIL YOUNG will induct TOM WAITS.

JOHN LEGEND will induct DR. JOHN.

BETTE MIDLER will induct DARLENE LOVE.

DOORS drummer JOHN DENSMORE will induct Elektra Records founder Jac Holzman, and Specialty Records founder Art Rupe will be inducted by R&B singer LLOYD PRICE, who was discovered by Rupe in 1952.

The ceremony will be held in New York City on March 14th. It'll air a week later, on March 20th, on the Fuse network.







HOW TO GET OVER THAT BREAK-UP...
Maybe your boyfriend is a bum of a human and will royally screw things up this Valentine's Day.
According to a new survey, nothing cures depression over a break-up like IMMEDIATELY bouncing back and finding yourself face-to-face with some new, strange genitalia.

Zagat just released the results of their annual survey on dating and one of their questions was "What's the best way to move on from a break-up?"

The number one answer, with 43% of the vote, was "have a rebound fling."

Crying and listening to sad music finished second, at 17%...drowning your sorrows in alcohol got 13%...burning your ex's stuff got 5% (!!!)...and hooking up with his or her best friend got 1%. (Lordy! The rest were miscellaneous answers.)

The survey also found that 21% of people say they've dumped someone over email...11% have done it over text message...8% have left a break-up voicemail...and 2% have ended things over Facebook. Anyone been there? ::raises hand:: (sort of. long story)

Here are some other findings from the survey...

34% of people now prefer to set up dates ANY way other than actually making a phone call...email, text, social networking, anything.

84% of people said that intelligence is the most important characteristic in someone they're dating. Personality was second at 82% and sense of humor was third at 81%. 63% of people were honest enough to say attractiveness matters. (When in all honesty, it's probably 99%)

The most popular way to meet someone was being setup by friends or family. Online was second, a random encounter was third, through hobbies and activities was fourth, work was fifth, and bars came in last.

The most popular place for a first date is a restaurant. Coffee came in second...a bar came in third...a party came in fourth...and an outdoor activity came in fifth.

The biggest deal breaker is...geographic compatibility. 43% of people say they won't date outside their local area. Geography was more important than income, nationality, religion, age, and political views.

66% of people say it's rude to text on a date. Only 28% say it's bad to check out someone else when you're on a date...and only 20% say it's bad to show up late.

Only 2% of the people surveyed said that they're waiting until marriage to have sex. 87% say they have relations, "whenever it feels right."







AS IF YOU NEEDED MORE REASON...
So you've gone on a couple of dates with a woman, but haven't had sex yet. Valentine's Day is rapidly approaching, and you're not sure how to play it.

According to a new survey, your smartest play is...FLOWERS. Send some damn flowers. 34% of women said they'd definitely be more likely to have relations with a guy if he sent them flowers on Valentine's Day.

In a weird twist, 36% of guys also said they'd be more likely to have relations with a woman if she sent him flowers on Valentine's Day.

Why isn't that number higher? Is it that a guy would be so surprised to get flowers that his blood would be allocated to his brain, not his genitalia? Is it that he thinks flowers from a woman mean love, not sex? Why do guys WANT flowers?? I'm confused.





BUT WHAT DO THE FLOWERS MEAN?
Giving red roses on Valentine's Day is kind of 'safe,' so some guys like to branch out. But BEWARE...the magazine "Marie Claire" says the flowers you pick might send the wrong message.

Here are the secret meanings behind five popular types of flowers.

#1.) Yellow Tulips. They mean you're hopelessly in love with her, but you're worried she's not that into you.

#2.) Orchids. They supposedly represent "refined beauty", but "Marie Claire" also says they make you look pretentious.

#3.) Pink Carnations. They represent "a mother's love", so they're more appropriate for Mother's Day than Valentine's Day.

#4.) Coriander. It's actually an herb, but it's used as filler in bouquets. And according to "Marie Claire", it represents "lust", and means you're more interested in sex than you are in having a meaningful relationship.

#5.) Peonies. They look kind of like carnations and represent "shame and bashfulness"...so your woman might think you're having an affair. (???)

Anyway...let's thank "Marie Claire" for adding even more anxiety to a 'holiday' that already has enough. But just remember: Buying ANY kind of flowers on Valentine's Day is better than not buying them at all.









OR YOU COULD TRY THIS...
If you're still deciding on what kind of ROLE-PLAYING you're going to do this Valentine's Day, start getting your lame fireman puns ready...like, "Wow you look hot, I think you need my hose" and stuff like that.

Just in time for Valentine's Day, a new survey by "Glamour" found that 75% of women say they've fantasized about their man dressing up as a fireman.

They didn't list any of the other fantasies...apparently nothing comes close to a guy in a firefighter's outfit.








WHAT YOU *REALLY* WANT...
According to a new survey, the Valentine's Day gift that people want the most is a romantic getaway. Although the survey was conducted by Orbitz, the travel website, so we can assume that 'romantic staycation' wasn't an option.

Almost half of the people surveyed said a romantic getaway is the Valentine's gift they want the most...but 85% of the people surveyed said they've never actually given or received a trip as a romantic gift.

The most popular destination for a romantic getaway is, "a bungalow on a remote beach." A bed and breakfast in wine country came in second...a boutique hotel in the city is third...and a ski chalet in the mountains is fourth.

San Francisco was voted the sexiest city in the U.S., just beating Miami and New York.
Ya know. Because nothing says remote like SAN FRAN which has more people per square mile than ANYWHERE else in the country!

So far, the most popular destination for Valentine's weekend this year on Orbitz is Las Vegas...same as last year.

The rest of the top 10 are: Orlando...Cancun, Mexico...New York...Chicago...Oahu...New Orleans...Miami...Los Angeles...and San Francisco.








SHRINKING...
In 2009, white kids accounted for 58.8% of all the kids enrolled in schools in the U.S. That's down from 64.6% in 2000. And, based on the trend, less than half of the kids enrolled in school will be white in...TWO YEARS.

By 2013, it's projected that white kids will make up less than 50% of all the school kids in the U.S. Right now, based on Census data, less than half of all three-year-olds are white.
Formulate your own opinion on that.







ASHLEE SIMPSON AND PETE WENTZ HAVE A FALL OUT
HEYYYYYYY!!!! GET IT?! Lol sorry.
They've filed for divorce after just two and a half years of marriage.

They issued a statement saying all the usual things, like how this was a "difficult decision", but they "remain friends" and will continue to make raising their son their "number one priority."

Ashlee is seeking spousal support and primary custody of their 2-year-old son Bronx, with visitation for Pete.

Obviously, Pete and Ashlee aren't going to come right out and tell us why they broke up. That's what anonymous sources are for. Unfortunately, they're kind of all over the map on this one.

One source says Pete and Ashlee have just been, "growing apart for quite some time," and that the split was amicable.

But another source says Pete started acting funny... "It's really all about Pete's erratic behavior. She really wanted out." (There's no word what constituted "erratic behavior" in this case. Or if it's even true.)

Then there are sources that say tensions have been simmering for a while, because Ashlee made the decision to scale back on her showbiz career to be a mom, (you know, cause her career has been on FIRE these last few years) while Pete still wanted to be a rock star.

Things came to a head this past summer, when Ashlee got HAMMERED at a party and got into a verbal throwdown with Pete's ex, actress MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG.

A source says, quote, "[Ashlee was] reverting to drinking and going out, because she is sick and tired of her life. [It's] an outlet for her unhappiness, and Pete is getting fed up."

So....believe what you want to believe I guess!






DON'T CALL ME GAGA...
If you ever have the pleasure...term used extremely loosely...of accompanying LADY GAGA to the boudoir, here's a tip for you: Don't call her "Gaga" in the heat of passion. She's not into that.

ANDERSON COOPER interviewed Lady Gaga for a "60 Minutes" piece that airs this Sunday before the Grammys. And she said there are still people who refer to her by her given name, Stefani Germanotta.

She added, "Especially in bed."

Anderson said, "You don't want somebody yelling out 'Lady Gaga' in the throes of passion."
And Gaga responded, "No, that would freak me out."







RUMOR MILL...
Is there already trouble between KATY PERRY and RUSSELL BRAND? "Life & Style" magazine says that Katy has been, "asking friends to recommend a marriage counselor."
Katy and Russell got married in October...after just four months together.








TABOO DEFENDS THEIR PERFORMANCE...
TABOO of the BLACK EYED PEAS has heard some of the criticism of the group's Super Bowl halftime show, and he's cool with it.

He tells Billboard.com, "The fact is 110 million people watched that [the performance]. So if you have 40 million people who loved it, you're going to have 60 million who hated it because that's how life is.

"If we've got 40 million people who loved it, I'm happy with that."

Earlier this week, FERGIE critiqued her own performance, calling it a little "pitchy." She said, "Some of my notes were pitchy to me. But it was so exhilarating. The whole thing. It was so big. That's a once-in-a-lifetime thing."

Taboo says the Peas were more focused on how the show LOOKED than their own singing and dancing...quote, "It was more about the spectacle because people already know we move and we're dancers, so they've seen that from us.

"This time we wanted to give you a spectacle, a visual besides something you've already seen, and I think we were criticized for, 'Oh, they were stiff...they didn't want to move.' But in actuality, it was about the light show, it was about the production."









SO DID THEY?
Here's your website for the day: DID THE CAVS WIN LAST NIGHT? http://www.didthecavswinlastnight.com/

WOAH (it's cold) WEDNESDAY

...but it'll be even colder tonight...lows near 0 or below, plus frigid windchills. YAY!



TURN UP THE ROMANCE
According to a new survey by ProFlowers, 16% of the guys who give flowers on Valentine's Day say that they're doing it because they don't want to get YELLED AT.

Another 26% say they give flowers on Valentine's Day so their significant other isn't DISAPPOINTED. The rest say they give flowers as a way to, "express their love." Whatever.
More than three out of four guys have given flowers for Valentine's Day in the past two years.







LAUGHING AT THE STUPID!!!
Virgin Atlantic airlines just did a survey of more than 3,000 flight attendants and asked them for the strangest, craziest, and dumbest requests they've ever gotten from passengers.

And the number one most common "stupid request" they've heard is..."Can you open the window?"
Number two is "Can you show me to the showers?"

Here are some less common...but equally bad...requests that different flight attendants have heard.

"Is there a McDonald's on board?"
"Can you take my children to the play room?"
"Can you ask the captain to stop the turbulence?"
"Will you fix my hair?"
"The engines are too noisy, can you turn them down?"







QUOTE THIS
"When I was a kid...I had enormous boobs that I didn't know what to do with...Little did I know that these things would come in handy someday."

That's Katy Perry in the new issue of "Elle" magazine. Katy even tried to hide her TWIN GLORIES when they started to develop

She says, "I wore minimizers, which were not cute. Those thick-ass straps! I got made fun of for the over-the-shoulder boulder holder.






OHHH MILEY...THE LITTLE LIAR...
Now that we know MILEY CYRUS is a smoker, it makes the following passage from her 2009 autobiography, "Miles to Go", more interesting . . .

"I guess my idea of a good party is someone getting their face smashed in cake, not getting smashed. I don't drink and I would never smoke.

"I always say that for me, smoking would be like smashing my guitar and expecting it to play. I'd never do that to my voice, not to mention the rest of my body."

Oh, the irony. Hypocrite.






SIMON'S X...
SIMON COWELL dropped a few details about "The X Factor" yesterday. Some of the stuff is new...and some of it has been mentioned before. Here's a rundown:

First off, the winner will receive a $5 MILLION record deal, which Fox says is the largest guaranteed prize in TV history. It won't be a lump sum, it'll be paid out over five years. (The deal will be with Sony Music.)

Also, anyone age 12 or older can try out, and unlike "American Idol" that includes groups and bands.

Simon said, "I like the idea that a 12-year-old on this show can compete with an older singer...times have changed. You have to make a case-by-case decision based on them as a person. [I learned] I have to be more open-minded.

"I don't believe SUSAN BOYLE would've got through in the old-fashion audition method...God only knows what we would have said to [LADY GAGA] if she walked into 'Idol' with a lobster on her head three years ago."

Simon confirmed that he'll be a judge, but said the rest of the panel hasn't been figured out yet. An announcement on the others isn't expected for "several weeks." Simon also wouldn't say PAULA ABDUL WON'T be one of them.

Simon said, "I'm a massive fan of Paula. We've been in regular contact. I'm not going to say today who we are going to confirm or not, because the truth is we haven't made up our minds up yet...

"It comes down to who I think is interesting, and the commitment and the expertise each person offers."

Other names that have been rumored include: Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls, Rihanna, Jessica Simpson, British singer and "X Factor" judge Cheryl Cole, Katy Perry and Will Smith.

"X-Factor" auditions begin March 27th...and will be held in Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, New York City and Seattle. If you're interested in auditioning, hit up this site: http://www.fox.com/thexfactor/registration/


Here's a news flash for you: SIMON COWELL has NOT watched an episode of "American Idol" this season, which probably shouldn't come as a surprise.

If Simon wanted to watch the same tired old "Idol" auditions this year, he could've stayed with the show and had a front row seat, not to mention an extra $130 MILLION in the bank.

Simon explained, "I haven't seen a full episode. I've seen three minutes of a recap. From what I've seen and from what I've heard, it all seems to be going well.

"What I was more concerned about [was] the ratings falling off a cliff, and that the whole genre might be over. But people are still excited about these shows...[and] I think they've done a good job."

I'm sure he wishes the ratings would have fallen into the toilet, right?






MORE V-D STUFF...
1,317. The number of candy and chocolate manufacturers in the U.S. California has the most, Pennsylvania is second.

DREAM OF SWEEEEET FORRRRNICAAAAAATION...
With thanks to the Red Hot Chili Peppers for letting me borrow their lyrics.
According to a new study, if you're planning to go out and have some random fornication with a stranger...do it as a way to get over a bad mood. Don't do it because you're having a great day and want to top it off right.

Researchers at the University of Louisville found that people who hooked up when they were depressed became HAPPIER and LESS LONELY after they were done.

But when people were happy and hooked up, they ended up LESS HAPPY and lonelier.

In other words...when you're feeling lonely, a little bit of strange sexual intercourse makes you feel connected again. But when you're ALREADY happy, dropping it on a stranger just depressingly reminds you that human contact can be fleeting.








USE EMAIL? YER OLD!
Every time you send an email, just realize this: When you hit the send button, you might as well eat dinner at 4:30 P.M., hitch up your pants, and move to Florida to play shuffleboard. Because email is now officially for OLD PEOPLE.

According to a new study, between December of 2009 and December of last year, the amount of email use by people aged 12 to 17 dropped 59%. For 25 to 34 year olds, it dropped 18%.

In fact, email use dropped for every age group...except people over 55. People 55 to 64 spent 22% more time emailing. For people 65 and over, email use went up 28%.

Instead of emailing, younger people prefer to communicate...well...every other way. Except actually talking to each other, naturally. Facebook, instant messaging, social media, and texting all went up as email use went down.

But, what about in the work place? I'm just wondering out loud. It's not like you facebook message your co-worker. You email them!

LOOKIE LOOKIE, CALL THE BOOKIE...

Call your bookie? Idk, it rhymed, go with it!

And lookie lookie cause the blog is back! I hope yer giddy...
What a week! An inch of ice, over half of Stark County with no power...CRAZY! Most of you are back now, although the ice is falling AGAIN as I type this. Yay...

OH CHARLIE...
No matter how many times CHARLIE SHEEN messes up, it just never gets old. Because it's always epic. And you can always count on hearing something so ridiculous it just can't be real. But it is.
We don't know if THIS is real, but given Charlie's track record, there's no reason to NOT believe it.

Charlie's marathon party last week started with his attempt to start his own little, "porn family" down the street from his own house.

According to TMZ, Charlie had a meeting Tuesday night at the home of his neighbor, George Santo Pietro...who happens to be VANNA WHITE'S ex-husband.
And Charlie brought along his realtor and three of his favorite MATTRESS ACTRESSES.

What was the purpose of this meeting? George is taking a four-month trip to Thailand.

And Charlie wanted to pay him $1 million to rent out his house for the whole time so he could move his porno minxes in and play house with them.
It wasn't meant to be, however. Charlie's people found out about his plan on Wednesday morning and, wisely, told him it wasn't gonna happen.

We THINK we know which three "actresses" Charlie was trying to set up house with. One was KACEY JORDAN.

The other two were reportedly 19-year-old GIGI RIVERA and 19-year-old MELANIE RIOS.

Rios is reportedly one of the girls who was still with Charlie when he was taken to the hospital Thursday morning at about 6:30 A.M. We don't know about Gigi. But we'd heard last week that Kacey left the party Wednesday afternoon.

Here's something CHARLIE SHEEN probably didn't know about his mattress actress KACEY JORDAN: About three years ago, she did some heavy-duty partying with KEVIN FEDERLINE.

And it got so intense that she ended up PREGNANT. But she had an abortion.

A source says, quote, "Right after the abortion her partying got so out of control that she left the porn business for a while and straightened up. Kacey has a bad drug problem and a heart problem."

Kacey wouldn't comment on the abortion, but she did admit to dating your man K-Fed for a while. And she even watched the kids while Kevin was working through his divorce with BRITNEY SPEARS.

She says, "He was busy with going to so many meetings with lawyers. We went swimming. They were great."






HEY BUDDDDDDDDY....
ZAC EFRON and VANESSA HUDGENS might not be back together after all. They might just be FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS.

A so-called "source" says, quote, "[They're] comfortable flirting and acting like a couple amongst friends, [but] nothing is official.

"They are just friends with benefits and while something more is certainly possible, they are taking things slow. It's obvious they still have strong feelings for each other and are continuing to hook up."







HE'LL CATCH A GRENADE, BUT NOT JAIL TIME...
BRUNO MARS got off easy. He will NOT have to do any prison time for his cocaine bust...as long he stays out of trouble for the next year.

Bruno was arrested in Las Vegas last September, after a bathroom attendant saw him with cocaine...and ratted him out.

On Friday, Bruno plead guilty to felony cocaine possession. As part of his deal, he'll have to pay a $2,000 fine, and will have to do 200 hours of community service and undergo drug counseling. But he won't have to go to jail.

He could've been sentenced to up to FOUR years behind bars, but since this is his first offense, he'll get away with a year of informal probation. And as long as he keeps his nose clean...literally...he'll have all this erased from his record.

Bruno's lawyer doesn't think there will be any future problems. He says, "Bruno is very appreciative [that] he is being given this opportunity as a first offender not to suffer any conviction and instead to have his charge dismissed.

"He is taking all of this quite seriously."

Let's hope!






IDOL IS SELLING MUSIC...FOR AEROSMITH
When STEVEN TYLER got the "American Idol" gig, AEROSMITH guitarist JOE PERRY and the rest of the band seemed concerned with what it was going to do to the band.

Well, so far...it seems to be HELPING.

If you've been watching "Idol", you've probably noticed how frequently they're showcasing Aerosmith songs...both in the background, and up front...with some contestants even singing Aerosmith songs with Steven.

And naturally, this is boosting their profile. The Aerosmith song "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" is now #22 on the iTunes chart...and two versions of "Dream On" are charting #77 and #115, respectively.







GOOD CHARLOTTE...
JOEL MADDEN hates the cover of GOOD CHARLOTTE'S greatest hits album, which was released without their input. He called it, quote, "the worst artwork ever. What a shame. Sony could have a least told us! We would have helped. I think?"






HAND OVER YOUR WOMAN CARD?
If you believe "The Courier Mail", women are in danger of losing their "female" skills. That's basically a sexist way to say that women today can't do the kinds of things in the kitchen and the garden that their moms and grandmothers did. For example...

Only 51% of girls under 30 can cook a pot roast, compared to 82% of the women who are baby boomers. Only 23% can grow a plant from a cutting, which 78% of their moms and grandmothers could do.

And only 40% of women under 30 can drive stick, compared to 71% of older women. At the same time: Over 70% say they take out the trash, 77% mow the lawn, and 70% wash the car.

I'd have to think its due to age, no? Don't you think you ladies will learn those things by the time you're the age of your parents? I'd have to think so...






PLEASE FORGIVE ME...
You don't need more proof that guys apply rampant double standards when it comes to dating and sex...but here you go anyway.

According to a new study in a scientific journal called "Personality and Individual Differences", guys are more forgiving of a girlfriend who CHEATS on them...as long as she cheats on them with another woman.

According to survey of 700 college kids, half of all guys would stick with their girlfriend after she admitted to a little girl-on-girl cheating. And 22%...or over one in five...would stick around if she cheated on them with another dude. (???)

I don't understand this. I used to say that everyone makes a mistake sometimes and deserves a second chance, but I also feel that if you feel the need to cheat, you aren't TRULY happy with someone...it makes more sense to just end the thing than to continue the charade.

Jaime Confer and Mark Cloud are the psychologists who led the study, and they say, "These findings are even more remarkable given that surveys show men have more negative attitudes toward homosexuality than women."

But it's actually not that remarkable. Especially when you consider WHY guys are so forgiving of girl-on-girl cheating. According to the study, "Men may view a partner's homosexual affair as an opportunity to mate with more than one woman simultaneously."

Ding. And there you have it. Do I even need to go on? Probably not.

Actually I do...because it's the opposite for women.
Women are MORE likely to stay in the relationship if their guy cheats with a woman. That's what 28% of them said. And they're LESS likely to stay if he does it with another dude. That's what 21% said.

I guess I don't really find that surprising either. OK, moving on...






I NEVER WASTE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY...
...to get some juicy Miley Cyrus dirt out there that makes her look bad...cause I hate her.

"Us Weekly" says the producers of MILEY CYRUS' new movie, "LOL", are trying to digitally alter a scene where she smokes pot with another character.

In this particular scene, Miley tokes with a male character.

But because of that video that hit the web last year in which Miley takes a bong hit of the hallucinogenic herb salvia, the producers are worried that it'll cause a controversy that'll swallow up the movie.

But I'm telling you now, so spread the word, eh?

A so-called "source" says, "The scene can't be re-shot. [So they're using] tricky editing and effects magic, they are erasing all traces of her inhaling or being in the same shot with the actor."
That includes using computer technology to erase Miley's entire arm out of at least one shot.

"LOL" is supposed to come out this year, but it doesn't have a release date yet. It also stars Ashley Greene, Thomas Jane, Gina Gershon and Demi Moore as Miley's mom.







THE EXCLUSIVE CLUB...
If you want your kid to go to an exclusive college, don't waste your time with Harvard, Yale or Stanford. Those are SAFETY SCHOOLS compared to the college we're talking about today.

And that school is...McDonald's Hamburger University in China!!!

McDonald's opened up the Hamburger U outside of Shanghai, and SO many people want in that they're only accepting the best EIGHT out of every 1,000 applicants.

That's an acceptance rate under one percent. In comparison, Harvard accepts about 7% of applicants...or about 875% more applicants than Hamburger U in Shanghai. (Yale accepts 7.5%, Stanford is 7.6%.)

Students who get accepted to the McDonald's college in China learn how to manage a McDonald's restaurant. There are currently 1,300 McDonald's locations in China, and 1,000 more will be opening over the next four years.

The fight for spots at Hamburger University in China is intense because unemployment is even worse over there than it is over here. More than 26% of China's college graduates are unemployed.

When you graduate from Hamburger University, you're almost guaranteed a job right away.

Interesting fact: While Harvard, Yale, and Stanford are the most selective schools in the U.S., the school that's the least selective is...right down the road in Morgantown, WV! West Virginia State University. They have an acceptance rate of 100%.







ALRIGHT GUYS...OUR MOST-DESIRABLE LADIES...
Blake Lively is the Most Desirable Woman in the World, According to AskMen.com:

Wait, what??

AskMen.com has released its annual list of the 99 Most Desirable Women in the World. And this year, "Gossip Girl" minx BLAKE LIVELY takes the top spot.

Blake jumped a massive 84 spots from 2010, when she was 85th. Her profile was probably lifted considerably by her appearance last year in BEN AFFLECK'S crime thriller, "The Town".

Blake was followed by the oh-so-sexy MILA KUNIS at #2 and SOFIA VERGARA at #3. Here's this year's Top 10 . . .

#1.) Blake Lively
#2.) Mila Kunis
#3.) Sofia Vergara
#4.) Selita Ebanks
#5.) Miranda Kerr
#6.) British singer Cheryl Cole
#7.) Scarlett Johansson
#8.) Katy Perry
#9.) Anne Hathaway
#10.) "Mad Men" actress Jessica Pare

It looks like brunettes are 'in' this year...because 70 of the 99 women on the list have dark hair. 27 are blondes and two are redheads.
The redheads are busty "Mad Men" minx CHRISTINA HENDRICKS, who finished 21st on the list, and EMMA STONE, who came in at #32.

The average age of this year's ladies is 28. British pop star PIXIE LOTT (#70) is the youngest. She just turned 20 a little over two weeks ago. And HALLE BERRY (#85) is this year's oldest at 44.

MEGAN FOX might want to note that ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY...who replaced her in the "Transformers" franchise...also beat her on this list.

Rosie came in 15th, while Megan dropped from #11 last year, all the way to #49 this year.

Wanna see them? OF COURSE YOU DO!
