BIG PARTY SATURDAY!

An HOF weekend unlike any other...

That's what I've heard several times, from different people in the last few days. It seems weird that today is essentially the last day of the festivities. And it seems the hype has been MUCH lower this year! Maybe that's just me. The concert line-up at the Ribs Burnoff is just about the weakest its ever been...or at least in a long time. Lack of a football game has and will hurt the local economy. It's a shame we won't get to see our city shine in the national spotlight. At least not as bright as we're used to.
Still, there are some GREAT, LEGENDARY players being inducted this year, including Marshall Faulk and Deion Sanders. Don't let the lack of a game over-shadow their fantastic contributions to the game we love.


Did you hit up some events though? Parade this morning? Food Fest or Ribs Burnoff this past week? Hope you did! If nothing else, it's FINE people watching.

ANYWAY, the reason you come here, let's get to it!

AT A WEDDING?
According to a new survey, the place where a man is most likely to cheat on his wife is...a WEDDING!! Hopefully not his own, I guess.

Of the men in the survey who'd cheated, 32% said they'd done it at a wedding, making that the top answer.

A relationship expert says that can make sense. "At a wedding, all the elements are present for one-night stands. Quite a bit of booze, dancing, people dressed to impress, an air of sexual electricity, and access to hotel rooms."

Bachelor parties came in as the second-most common place that men had cheated, at 27%

Office Christmas parties came in third, at 21%. And high school or college reunions came in fourth, at 9%.

The survey also asked women where they THOUGHT men were most likely to cheat on them...and weddings actually came in LAST.









STOP EATING POPCORN!!!
According to a recent study at UCLA, chemicals in the lining of the bag might cause infertility issues.

Wait...is that bad? Anyway...

And in animal testing, chemicals that are similar to the ones found in popcorn bags caused liver, testicular, and pancreatic cancer.

OK, well that is.

Manufacturers have agreed to stop using the chemical, but it won't be phased out until 2015.

So just go to the movies until then. Sure, its $6 for popcorn, but you won't die!!







I'VE BEEN SITTIN AT A BAR...
MAROON 5 singer ADAM LEVINE is working on another project with NBC...where he already serves as a coach on The Voice".

He's developing a sitcom set in a karaoke bar that will "blend comedy with vocal performances." It's pretty early in the process...so there's no word on a title, an airdate or casting.

Adam is an executive producer on the project, and at least for now, there's no indication that he'll actually appear on the show.

Adam hasn't commented on this. (But he did Tweet this mind-bending deep thought: Quote, "Just because I say things doesn't mean I don't regret them.")









AMERICA'S KINKIEST CITIES...
We've got plenty of kink for you right HERE, in America's heartland. Just book your flight to...Roselawn, Indiana?

The website Alternet.org put together a list of the 10 kinkiest cities in the U.S. based on strip clubs, sex stores, nudist resorts, and Internet searches. And, yep, Roselawn, Indiana beat out all the big boys.

They have a nudist resort called the Ponderosa Sun Club, and the annual Nudes-A-Poppin' pageant (seriously LOL), with strippers, porn stars, and drooling perverts. Here's the full list:

#1.) Roselawn, Indiana
#2.) New Orleans, Louisiana
#3.) Las Vegas, Nevada
#4.) Hurley, Wisconsin. They have the highest ratio of strip clubs-to-residents in the U.S. With 1,547 residents and six clubs, that's one strip club for every 258 residents.
#5.) Atlanta, Georgia
#6.) New York, New York
#7.) Austin, Texas
#8.) Southern New Mexico and Southern West Virginia...last year, based on a study of the kinky terms people used in online dating profiles, southern New Mexico had the kinkiest men, and southern West Virginia had the kinkiest women. Quite frankly, I am FRIGHTENED that the kinkiest women are in WEST VIRGINIA!
#9.) Chicago, Illinois
#10.) San Francisco, California







IT'S ON...BETWEEN TWO HAS-BEENS...
I'm going to go ahead and say IT'S ON between KELLY OSBOURNE and CHRISTINA AGUILERA...after Kelly called Christina a "FAT BITCH" on E! Oh, and she also called her the C-WORD.

Kelly was shooting a segment for E!'s "Fashion Police", when a photo of Christina in a tight black dress came up. After JOAN RIVERS commented that Christina looked like "Snooki's Scandinavian cousin", Kelly went off.

She said, "Maybe she's just becoming the fat bitch she was always born to be. I don't know. She was a [C-word] to me. And she bought my house!"

Kelly then explained why she was being so ruthless... "She called me fat for so many [effing] years, so you know what? [Eff] you, you're fat too!"

No response from Miss Aguilera...however, if you trace the feud all the way back to 2003, it appears KELLY started it all!







COOL VIDEO: BLINK-182's "UP ALL NIGHT"
The concept for BLINK-182'S new "Up All Night" video is pretty cool. It begins with this message: "To launch our first single in eight years, AT&T helped us search YouTube for every instance of fans using our music without our permission...

"And then we rewarded them for it. This film is made out of clips from all those videos. Thanks for being a fan."

And that's exactly what it is: A montage of clips from fans' videos that included their music.

DATIN' UGGO'S...
I almost hate to say this and snap you out of your state of blissful ignorance. But what the hell. SOMEONE might as well tell you eventually.

A new study has proved that your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, or wife isn't as HOT as you think they are.

Researchers at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands brought in 70 couples. They took headshot photographs of both people in every couple.

They had everyone rate their boyfriend or girlfriend's level of attractiveness, and their own level. Then, they had all of the other people go through the headshots and rate the attractiveness of the people in the pictures.

What did they find? Both men and women consistently rated their significant other's hotness MUCH HIGHER than strangers did. Both men and women also rated THEMSELVES hotter than strangers did.

But the researchers say this is actually a GOOD THING.
Other studies have shown that people who are delusional about how hot their partner is generally feel happier, more loving, and more trusting in a relationship.








THE EVOLUTION OF COOL...
For some reason, MSN decided to do an annoying slideshow of slang terms and where they came from. But the best part is looking at the evolution of slang terms for the word "cool" over the past 100 years.

It's amazing how we still use a lot of these today...SIKE!!!! (See what I did there?) Here are 29 ways to say something's "cool" over the past 100 years. And if some of them sound stupid, just think how lame WE'LL sound in a hundred years.

1910s: Ripping, jazz.
1920s: Bee's knees, cat's pajamas.
1930s: Bananas, gas, solid.
1940s: Hot damn, nuts, hepcat.
1950s: Keen, neato, boss.
1960s: Far-out, groovy, choice.
1970s: Gnarly, copasetic, dig it.
1980s: Awesome, tubular, rad.
1990s: Fresh, phat, all that, tight.
2000s: Crunk, beast, hot








More soon!
