Imma Make Y'all Dance

...maybe? I don't know. HEY! It's Monday. Here's some shtuff..

"SUPER FINAL"
SIMON COWELL has an interesting idea: A face-off between all of the winners of the various singing competition shows.

He Tweeted, "Maybe the winner of 'X Factor' this year should compete with winner of 'The Voice' and 'American Idol' in a super final. Just a thought. I'd be up for it." Simon added, "I love the rivalry between all the music shows."

There's no response from the people behind "The Voice"...but "Idol" producer NIGEL LYTHGOE has weighed in, and he doesn't think it'd be much of a challenge.

He Tweeted, "The problem is the 'Idol' winner will be a star by then."

.....um? OK, I couldn't tell you the last person to win Idol. I'm thinking about it and I really have no idea. Was it that Lee Dewyze guy? And he's sure NOT a star. The last person to achieve stardom from that show...probably Adam Lambert? And he didn't even win it!








LILO DOES SNL...
LINDSAY LOHAN will host the March 3rd episode of "Saturday Night Live". This is going to be her fourth time on "SNL". She previously hosted in 2004, 2005 and 2006.

Lindsay's life has been a little rocky in the six years since then, so it'll be interesting to see how much she's willing to poke fun at herself. And there's a good chance she'll be game for whatever.

Over the past three years, Lindsay has mocked the insanity in her life on FunnyOrDie.com, at the "MTV VMAs", and on "Jimmy Kimmel Live".








SOME ADELE NEWS...
Sad news to report to those of you who love your ladies with a delectable candy coating: There is more than likely NOT an ADELE sex tape.

She's got her lawyers denying the existence of any such tape and threatening to go after the French magazine that started the story.

They say any allegations of a sex tape are, quote, "untrue and grossly defamatory [and] 100% false."

Speaking of Adele and bodily fluids...
Adele says if she ever sees her dad again, she'll SPIT IN HIS FACE.

She's mad at him because he sold a story to a British tabloid in which he talks about Adele and his split from her mother.

She says, "I was actually ready to start trying to have a relationship with him. [But] he's [effing] blown it.

"It makes me angry! To come back after 10 years and be like, 'Maybe her problem with men comes down to me.' It's like, '[Eff] off! How dare you comment on my life?'


"It makes my blood boil. If I ever see him I will spit in his face."








LUDA DOES PIMPIN'
Haven't heard anything out of LUDACRIS for a minute. I have an urge to crank some SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY now!

Well LUDA is starring in a movie called "Parking Lot Pimpin'". He's playing "a young man who, following a nasty break-up, teams up with his slick buddy for a night on the town...[where he learns] the art of 'parking lot pimping.'"

JALEEL WHITE...a.k.a. Urkel from "Family Matters"...is co-writing it.


"Parking lot pimping", for my white friends, is basically putting on your game to hook up with someone...AFTER the clubs close...in the parking lot. For a more complete definition, hit up UrbanDictionary.com









BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU!! WELL, TARGET IS ANYWAY...
You'd probably be FREAKED OUT if you could see the data that different stores have on you. Pretty much ALL of them keep track. Know those Acme and Fishers cards, and all the other ones dangling from your keys? LORD only knows what SHEETZ has one me!!
And Target takes it even further.

Target doesn't just keep track of what you buy...they analyze your purchases to figure out what's going on in your life. And HERE'S a look at just how good they are...

According to an executive, a guy once STORMED into a Target outside of Minneapolis holding a bunch of coupons for baby items that were sent to his teenage daughter.

He yelled at the manager, "My daughter got this in the mail! She's still in high school...are you trying to encourage her to get pregnant?"

But Target's analysis was right...the man ended up calling a few days later to apologize because it turned out his daughter WAS pregnant and just hadn't told him yet. (!!)

EAT MOR CHIKIN!!!
Chick-fil-A isn't just crack for Southerners or radio personalities anymore. It's crack for EVERYONE now. In a new study of more than 107,000 fast food customers, Chick-fil-A was rated the most loved chain in the country.

Panera Bread was second and Chipotle was third. McDonald's, Subway, Wendy's, and Burger King didn't crack the top 10







OPRAH IS BEGGING PEOPLE TO WATCH HER?
OPRAH'S cable network OWN is now over a year old, and apparently the ratings haven't lived up to her expectations because she's literally BEGGING for viewers.

And not just any viewers...she wants the PEOPLE WHO COUNT to tune in.

On Sunday, Oprah Tweeted, "Everyone who can please turn to OWN especially if you have a Nielsen box." (That's a device to measure TV watching habits)

There are two things wrong with Oprah's Tweet:
First off, it violates Nielsen's policy. In fact, Oprah later deleted it "at the request of Nielsen." She says, "I intended no harm and apologize for the reference."

But more importantly, it's pretty sad that Oprah has resorted to soliciting people on Twitter. This is a woman who never had any problems drawing an audience, and now she's begging for attention on Twitter!







SELENA GOMEZ & THE SCENE SPLIT
In what seems like the biggest musical break-up since *NSYNC dis-banded...SELENA GOMEZ has announced that she's cutting off THE SCENE.

SELENA GOMEZ & THE SCENE have released three albums over the past three years. The last one "When the Sun Goes Down" came out last June. (Wow. That title sure seems a little prophetic in retrospect.)

In a post on Facebook, Selena explained, "My band and I are going our separate ways for a while. This year is all about films and acting and I want my band to play music wherever with whoever.








OLD SCHOOL MUSIC NEWS: GREEN DAY
GREEN DAY singer BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG has announced that the band is working on a new album...their first since "21st Century Breakdown" in 2009.

He Tweeted, "Happy Valentine's Day! Officially started recording the new record today. It's [EFF] TIME!!!!"

Supposedly, "It's [Eff] Time" is something the cast of the Green Day musical "American Idiot" chants before each show, to get pumped up.

And Billie Joe's side project the FOXBORO HOT TUBS have a song called "It's [Eff] Time" in honor of that tradition, but they've only played it live. It hasn't been released.








KE$HA'S PARTIES...
KE$HA says she loves to host group, nude body-painting parties.

She tells "Glamour" magazine, "Sometimes I have parties at my house in Nashville and it's clothing-optional, and we just body-paint each other and run around, and I have a giant bed. I'm very much in touch with that side of myself."

Despite the fact that Kesha mentioned her "giant bed"...which was totally unnecessary...she doesn't want you to get the impression that these are SEX parties.

She says, "It's not a weird sex orgy thing. You can wear a bathing suit!"

So, WHY is Kesha telling us this?

She says, "I'm coming out with my own line [of body paints]."








COST SAVINGS AT THE TINSELTOWN...
The average movie ticket cost $7.93 last year, which might not sound like a lot, but it's the highest price ever.

And over half of us are going to fewer movies because of the cost.
62% of people cut costs by going to matinees,
38% sneak in their own food and drinks
6% save money by sneaking into other movies when theirs ends. (good idea?)






IN THE MARKET FOR A NEW CAR?
CLINT EASTWOOD isn't going to like this. J.D. Power and Associates just released their annual survey on the most dependable vehicles...and Chrysler came in DEAD LAST.

In Chrysler's defense, Land Rover usually comes in last, but they weren't included this year because of an insufficient sample size in the study.

Dodge was second-least dependable...Jeep is third...Dodge Ram is fourth...and Jaguar is fifth.

At the other end of the spectrum, Lexus was named the most reliable vehicle. Porsche was second, Cadillac was third, Toyota was fourth, and Scion was fifth.








NEW FACEBOOK CONTENT GUIDELINES
Facebook's internal content guideline was leaked Friday...that's what they use to figure out which posts aren't appropriate and should be deleted. Here are 10 highlights of what they will and won't censor.


#1.) Foreplay like kissing and GROPING will NOT be censored. Even, quote, "for same-sex individuals." But actual sexual activity WILL be censored, obviously.


#2.) Photos that show a side-by-side comparison between a person and an animal WILL be censored.


#3.) Photoshopped images MIGHT be censored. If the Photoshopping portrays the person in a negative light, the photo will be removed. But if the Photoshopping portrays the person in a positive or neutral way, the photo can stay.


#4.) Images of drunk or unconscious people with stuff drawn on their face WILL be censored. Which is a surprise, because I see these all the time.


#5.) Graphic photos of dead animals WILL be censored. Unless the photos are in the context of food prep or, quote, "hunting as it occurs in nature," like a lion eating a zebra or something.


#6.) Works of art showing nudity WILL NOT be censored. But cartoon nudity will be removed.


#7.) Adult love toys MIGHT be censored. If they're in the context of sexual activity, they're gone. If you're just, like, holding a vibrating toy, you're clear.


#8.) Bodily fluids WILL NOT be censored. Vomit, snot, earwax, and anything in the toilet are all probably clear. But not if you post a photo of someone in the act of actually releasing bodily fluids. (And obviously, not MAN-SEED.)


#9.) Photos of poaching endangered animals WILL be censored, and will be reported.


#10.) And finally, photos of, quote, "blatant depiction of camel toes and moose knuckles" WILL be censored.







SOME GOOD NEWS:
Here's some GOOD NEWS: The American auto industry is BACK.

All three auto companies are profitable, and last year, GM posted its biggest profit ever. GM made $7.6 BILLION in profit last year...that's up 62% from 2010...and that means every union worker will get a $7,000 profit sharing check.
