Gold is for rapper's teeth and investment-minded people

2009-04-10T17:47:00.000-07:00

Does anybody have a gold coin I could use for a major investment in my future? No? Oh well. Don't need it anymore... You know why? Because now, I've got Monex Deposit Company (MDC). You know what that means, homie? It means that I can buy silver, gold, or any other precious metals that I deem awesome enough. And, I can get personal delivery in a timely fashion and convenient and safe storage at an independent bank or depository. They've been the leader in this for 30 years! Silver is available in two forms for investment: coin or ingot. Isn't that cool? What are ingots? They are pure bullion cast in a convenient size and shape. And we all know what coins are. They have currency value. Now is the time to do it! World demand for silver exceeds annual production, and has every year since 1990. Why? Above ground stockpiles. They are running on the low side and even shrinking at a rapid rate! But don't just take my blog's word for it. This whole "buying gold and using it as an investment tool" thing has been going on for years. I'm talking centuries. I'm talking centuries, which equals 100 years. You see, it's all about purchase power. It's unique. During the time of the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans...all the way to more modern times...people have loved gold and considered it worth a lot. Men have been fascinated with the way it can change a life. But nowadays, it can diversify investments, protect your precious wealth and even preserve one's purchasing power! Isn't that awesome? I know if I bought gold I would want it to do those things for me. And the same is true for silver. Silver bullion is just as good for investment. And this is deep-rooted in history just as gold is. Since the end of WWII, the U.S. used to be the largest stockpiler of silver. But now it's dumped billions and billions of ounces of silver bars onto the world market. That has decreased silver prices. But what kind of products am I talking about? How about American eagle gold coins? You can buy them in units of 10 one-ounce coins for personal delivery! .9167 fine gold. Legal tender coin. You know: the best! Check MDC. They have plenty of other products as well. Most of them are just as good as this. And Monex prides itself on having the best us silver coin prices and programs of anybody in this industry. And their staff is dedicated, yo. I'm talking about the hardest hard asset pros in the industry!

March Madness concludes tonight…in April. UNC is looking tough, but best of luck to the Michigan State Spartans of the downtrodden state of Michigan. It won’t solve the financial crisis, or the auto industry issues, but good for them for making it this far. The price of inspiration can’t be measured. (Or maybe it can… But if we knew that number, Roy Williams might even be begging UNC to let the Spartans win tonight.)

Here are some links from around the Internets today…

Ever seen a misleading search engine text ad on Google or Yahoo? Well, the FDA is objecting to a few drug companies and their click-thru aspirations.
Google uses Twitter to sell ads. (When are they going to just buy Twitter?)
Yahoo! Sports Blowing Out ESPN Online (Maybe that UConn story will even things up…)
Wow. McDonald’s ads in the Czech Republic are weird. This is a long way from Calvin…
The March Adness final: State Farm’s Lebron Cleveland Browns ad vs. Playstation’s “Dustin Pedroia vs. Jerry Lambert” ad
Amstel Light brings their 10-person “beer bike” to America. I just added 10 potentially-illegal immigrants to my pardon list.
Dr. Pepper’s ad displays the worst that could happen that probably never would.
Full-length Sony movies on YouTube? I hope David Lynch hasn’t heard about this.
And, just in case any of you were worried, Facebook and Twitter showed huge growth in March. Fear not. The takeover continues…

LA Times and fake articles

2009-04-10T17:38:00.000-07:00

In a move that shows a clear sign of the times in the newspaper industry (and journalism), the Los Angeles Times ran a front page ad for NBC’s new show "Southland" that resembled a story. The ad ran despite objections from Times’ Editor Russ Stanton.

Despite the outcry created (especially in journalism circles), Publisher Eddy Hartenstein ran the ad to "ensure that The Times could continue to operate."

According to one critic:

"It’s unwise and ethically problematic to have advertising morph into news content and style," said Bob Steele, a journalism values scholar at the Poynter Institute and a professor at DePauw University. "Each step may seem like a small one. But each time you cut a corner, you create weakness in the overall product."

Sounds about right. The weak economy can’t become an excuse to bend the rules, no matter how trivial they may seem.

In other news, 11thr.com’s blog, "the world beyond recruiting," highhandedly apprehended a serial burglar early this morning. The so-called, "Sticky Bandit," has terrorized Marina Del Rey residents for the past six months, robbing their homes in the middle of the night and leaving "scotch tape all over the place," according to one LAPD officer who wished to remain nameless. Although not an actual person, "the world beyond recruiting," is being labeled a hero by absolutely everybody in the Los Angeles area, after discovering the burglar stealing a stack of DVDs from the blog’s living room early this morning. Despite objections from the burglar that "these DVDs will be obsolete in a year anyway!" the blog knocked out the burglar with its imaginary fist and Tweeted authorities. :This is totally a real news story, and 11thr.com/blog is a true hero," said Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa this morning, as he awarded 11thr.com/blog a key to the city and the "Los Angeles City Medal of Heroism," in a ceremony on the steps of City Hall. "It was totally awesome," continued Villaraigosa."

No word on the burglar’s current condition. 11thr.com/blog has been contacted by VH1 and is in talks with the former music network/current reality television network to develop a reality show based on the blog’s crimefighting skills.

The last time I thought about silver, it was the color of a hot babe's dress

2008-06-19T23:51:00.000-07:00

I'm serious. The last time I thought of silver it was the color of the smokin' hot babe's dress. The dress was so hot. Oh yeah, and silver is back, ya'll! That's right! It's back, and you can invest in it, and it's the bee's knees! (What does that expression mean?) Of course, I'm talking about MDC, or Monex Deposit Company. You can totally use them, and their services, to buy silver and other precious metals. And you can have these precious metals delivered to your house, personally. You can also conveniently store them in safe storage or an independent bank. Totally tubular, broham! So silver is available in two forms: coin and ingot. Those are what you get when you get silver. Got it? If you want to invest in one of these forms, you should. Ingots are generally silver ingots of pure bullion cast in a convenient size and shape. Coins have a currency value or they can also be defined as ingots. And right now, this time period we are in, folks, is the best, if not ever, for investing in silver bullion. You should do it. I'm strongly thinking about that ish. I mean, the world demand exceeds annual production! And it's been this way since 1990...every year! It's almost preposterous when you think about it. It's insanely fantastic. Silver bullion is low too, dog. Above ground stockpiles of it are getting so small! They are approaching zero. That's not good news! Also, Monex Precious Metals (MPM) is home to a staff that is so large, and so dedicated, that they decided to commit to you and help out with your precious metal investment needs. They are America's best dealer, with convenient market and competitive precious metals prices. That's what I'm talking about, silver. You are back on the map! Get on the train to Silver Town! (The train to Silver Town is made of silver.)

Since I'm T.I., from Atlanta, where Michael Vick is from...and a hardcore rapper, I do, and am supposed to, like dogs. So I do. So that's why WOFRD (Watch Out For Rabies Dogs) has contacted me. They want me to talk to ya'll folk abouts it... Ahem...pardon me. I lost my head for a moment, chaps. In closing, watch out for rabies dogs. This message has been brought to you by T.I. speaking proper English.

My swag is serious

2008-06-19T17:30:00.000-07:00

I just heard that lyric in a song. I thought swag was supposed to be fun. You are supposed to have swag because you are feeling good--not serious. What the hell, man? Where is music these days? I just don't get it. Maybe I need to go back to Junior High to understand the lyrics. Yo.

Victoria Drunkham (clever title)

2008-05-30T11:09:00.000-07:00

Most of the time when we see Victoria Beckham, she’s all business, sporting a chiseled model’s façade. But in reality, it seems she loves to cut loose and have a good time. She parties, just like us! In a recent interview, the former Spice Girl confessed that she gets drunk, “all the time. We went to Napa for my birthday. David organized a surprise and we all got drunk and had a laugh.” She also revealed that beneath her sharp exterior lies a party-girl-at-heart. “You know I might look like a stony-faced pain-in-the-a** cow but in actual fact I like to have a laugh. I do like to have a drink and have a laugh, that kind of thing. I really don’t take myself too seriously, contrary to what people think. I think it’s important.” As for her dVb jeans brand, Posh says that she is all about being hands-on. She told press, “I do all the designing. I go to the factories. I work on the stuff. I think there are lots of celebrities, for want of a better word, I do hate celebrity because it does mean that you’re famous for absolutely doing nothing, a lot of them have licensing deals all over the place, and I actually am creative director of the dVb brand.” I can't wait until I meet her out sometime and can make out with her because she's drunk and I am too.

Drunk Fergie

2008-05-30T10:48:00.000-07:00

Fergie was so drunk the other night. Seriously, did you hear about this? With all the crazy high-heeled shoes she seems to love wearing, it’s no wonder Fergie had a misstepping mishap last night. The “Big Girls Don’t Cry” singer was making her way from the Waverly Inn to her car when her 5-inch peep-toe platform heels caused her to almost hit the deck. Luckily, her bodyguard was holding her arm as she rolled her ankle, but the “My Humps” hottie still managed to scrape up her foot pretty badly. Clearly embarrassed, Fergie tried to play it off by smiling for the throng of paparazzi surrounding her, and managed to salvage some dignity. And for all of you Sex and the City: The Movie fans, you’ll be hearing plenty of Fergalicious singing come May 30th… Fergie sang the theme song. Enjoy the pictures of Fergie stumbling her way out of the Waverly Inn last night (May 7). I know I did. A lot. Man.

Gold is the new drunk

2008-05-07T10:39:00.000-07:00

Numerous reports in the...uh...news...are saying that gold is the new drunk for college students. Instead of getting drunk and having fun with friends, they are just buying a lot of gold and precious metals and staring at them all night until they pass out. Okay...so i just made that up. That's not true. But gold is a very good investment these days, as it's always been. If you use Monex Deposit Company (MDC) you can purchase gold (or other precious metals) and get them delivered to your place immediately (or a convenient safe storage place)! Or you can even use an independent bank or depository place! And they'll do this immediately! And they've been doing this for 30 years, man! That's 3 decades! Anyway, they are the leading gold and precious metals investment leader in the United States! And gold is a great product to invest in. It has two forms. Try coin or ingot. We all know what coin is. But what is ingot? Well, ingots are generally gold and pure bullion cast. That means they are made in a convenient size and shape. So they will never hassle you in the middle of the night when you are trying to sleep, and they also workout at the gym a lot. Get it? The whole art of buying gold has been recognized for centuries. People have always known that it is the way to wealth and purchasing power. Duh. Gold bullion is also a unique investment that the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans even used. And nowadays, they still do! So you should too! In fact, base all of your decision on what Egyptians, Greeks and Romans did! Heck, throw pirates and vikings in there too, dog! Gold can change men's lives. The golden bar today is a proven investment diversifier. (Did I mention "diversifier" is my favorite word.) It protects your wealth, and your purchasing power! Monex Precious Metals is home to a large and dedicated staff of hard asset pros who are absolutely committed to serving your precious metal investment needs. They are this country's best dealer, with a convenient market and competitive prices! If that doesn't sounds good, I don't know what is. We are at war, so by gold.

What a dummie (I've never used that expression before.)

2008-05-06T14:38:00.000-07:00

Paula Abdul, taking a page from the Isiaiaiaiah Washington school of kicking sleeping dogs has decided to go on the offensive against all those hating on her substance abuse problem. She Said (re: rumors she does a mix of crack/cocaine/meth/PCP before going on the air): That’s nonsense, the 44-year-old “Idol” judge tells Us Weekly magazine in its February 16 issue. “I’ve never been drunk. I have never done recreational drugs,” she says. “Just look at my 20-year career. Tell me someone who is into partying or doing drugs that could have done that.” Wow. There’s a lot to deal with there. First off, Keith Richards. Secondly, what 20-year career? Third, if you were high as a kite on prescription drugs just say so. We’ve all taken our meds twice on accident. In your case the 500mg double dose of horse tranquilizers would truly mess your 100lb frame up, we get it. “I have never missed a live show,” Abdul notes. “Even when I had surgery on my hand (for an infection caused by a botched manicure in 2004), I left my hospital bed to go to the show.” Technically this is true. She’s never missed a show. However, there have been shows that they chose not to “show her on camera” because she kept mentioning that “tweety bird was stealing her moon rover.” Say it with me... You've Gotta Be Kidding Me!

Get drunk and play golf

2008-05-06T14:34:00.000-07:00

Tiger Woods was three strokes down with five holes to play to some cat named J.B. Holmes at the Accenture Match Play Championship. Naturally, he won one-up. Woods was 3 down with five holes to play when he holed a 15-foot birdie putt on the 14th. Then came Holmes’ lone mistake down the stretch, a three-putt from behind the 15th that allowed Woods to lag his 18-footer for birdie, and he was walking to the hole when it dropped, charging up the gallery. Then came a 20-foot birdie on the 16th to square the match, followed by a 35-foot eagle to complete his amazing rally. And when Holmes missed an 8-foot birdie on the final hole, Woods had escaped with a 1-up victory. “You’re playing the best player in the world, 3 up with five to play,” Holmes said. “I just said, ‘Don’t do anything stupid. Make him beat you.’ And he did. What do you do?” Tiger might as well just start putting himself in these sorts of holes, just to see if he can play out of them. Like, at the Masters he could play the entire first round using just a five iron. Then at the U.S. Open he could play left-handed. Just some stuff to make things interesting, that’s all.

Epocrates will help you get drug info

2008-04-23T22:11:00.000-07:00

This announcement was paid for by Epocrates. You ever needed a free drug reference for iphone? Sure, we all have. Well...what if I told you that you could have one? Don't believe me? You will... So physicians (otherwise known as doctors) are going mobile. That's right. I'm not talking about the old school pagers they used to carry. I'm talkin' iPhones baby. Drug information is now always on call with Epocrates. More than 50% of doctors now use PDAs or smartphones. Epocrates is a big part of this. They are pretty much credited with the whole thing! Their medical reference software is seriously used by over 500,000 healthcare professionals, man! That's a lot! Unbelievable! They have a completely loaded drug guide on their PDA or smartphone. These clinicians are ballin'! They can access all this crazy information that they need to prescribe the right medicine. And they can get it RIGHT NOW! They can access information to help you with drug dosing, side effects and health plan coverage. (Does somebody smell awesome? I think I smell awesome.) Want an example though? You don't trust me? Okay, fine. Well, if a physician (let's call him Dr. Dreigh) is prescribing an antibiotic for a stubborn sinus infection, but the patient is already on Coumadin, then Dr. Dreigh would pull out his trusty PDA/smartphone and try to find any possible harmful interactions between the two drugs. That way, he will know before he rights the prescription. And he doesn't even have to leave the exam room to go logon to an old school Apple computer, or to ask his nurse, or one of the drug dealers in the waiting room who is waiting to have his gunshot wounds treated after a deal went bad. He doesn't have to deal with any of that! You still want to know more? You want to know exactly what the Epocrates drug reference guide offers? Okay. How about this: Free medical Pocket PC software Free medical Palm software Free medical Windows Mobile software They also launched a free drug reference for BlackBerry devices. That's what I'm talking about Epocrates! And they aren't stopping there. They are working closely with Apple to develope a downloadable drug guide for iPhones too! That will be great when that comes out. But in the meantime, doctors with an iPhone or iPod Touch can access Epocrates content by visiting m.epcorates.com on their Safari web browser. Epocrates: Not Socrates, but making all the doctors say please, we need more!

Reggie Kardashian

2008-04-23T22:02:00.000-07:00

As Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush continue to make entertainment news followers nauseous with their public displays of affection, the couple will be glad to know it has at least one fan: Kim’s stupidly-named sister, Khloe Kardashian, says the pair should get married. Maybe. But not too soon. It’s serious stuff, after all. “I hope [they get married], I love Reggie. I think they complement each other,” Khloe kommented. “But I still think it’s early, I don’t know. People want to rush everything. She’s amazing. She’s so mature, she’s so the girl that’s like a one-guy person. That takes a teamwork thing. They have to grow together. It’s like a serious step.” Wow, I'm glad I know what's going on now! Thanks a lot! Reggie Bush needs to work on his game more though.

Ever been drunk at a carnival?

2008-04-23T21:51:00.000-07:00

Back in 1997, Tucker Max and I decided that we were going to go visit Slingblade down at the Kentucky State Fair. It was the summer after I had left Duke Law School, and I knew that Slingblade would be down for the visit because he had recently broken up with his woman because they were watching TV one day and she called Jude Law a hunk. So on the way down--in my beemer--Tucker and I decided to do what every college-aged kid does when they drive: drink. Little did we know, however, that drinking was actually illegal while driving (in Kentucky...don't know about other states). So I got pulled over for swerving into oncoming traffic. I ended up blowing a .4 and was locked up all night for a DUI while Tucker fucked my girlfriend, later that night behind a dive bar. It was a great night!

Gold is what you buy if you want to get rich

2008-03-18T11:48:00.000-07:00

Sometimes in life, there are constants... Not very often, but sometimes, there are. But you want to know what my favorite constant is? You guessed it: gold. Gold is what makes me get up in the morning and brush my teeth...with a tooth brush that is disappointingly not made of gold (not even the bristles). When it comes to buying silver, gold, and other precious metals and coins, you have options th Right? But there is only one Monex Deposit Company (MDC) that you really want to use. I'm serious; everybody else you use will suck. How about personal delivery to wherever you want? How about convenient and safe sotrage at an independent bank or depository in America? That's what Monex has got for ya. It's been 30 years too. And after all that time, they are America's leader in investments of the gold, silver and precious metal persuasion. Tubular! Silver and gold can be available in coin or ingot form if you want to invest in it. They can be pure bullion cast. They can be convenient in size and shape. This is absolutely the time to buy silver/gold. The demand on this planet, that is the third rock from the sun, for silver far exceeds annual production. In fact, it's done this every single year and month since 1990. Well, at least every year. There are above ground stockpiles of silver bullion that are really low, and shrinking. In fact, I don't even think you can call them stockpiles anymore. They are really just piles now. You know about gold too, man? It's pretty interesting. It's been recognized for literally, and romantically, centuries as one of the absolutely coolest, and best way to preserve one's personal wealth and power of purchasing. It's unique. It's diverse. It's shiny. And ever since the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans did it, people took notice and decided that gold will always be worth something. If there were a better time for buying silver bullion...well...there just isn't. The U.S. government even buys it, because their silver hoard (that they had around WWII) is gone. So buying silver bars is a good idea. And American eagle gold coins are available in units of 10 one-ounce coins for personal delivery only. .9167 fine gold. Legal tender coin in the USA with a $50 face value. You cool with that? They are also available for personal delivery in fractional sizes of ounce, ounce and 1/10 ounce, in units of 20 coins each. Monex prides themselves on having the best US silver coin prices and programs in the entire silver coin industry. If that doesn't remind you of the truth, I don't know what does. It's the absolute truth. It's the answer to your gold needs. They have a dedicated staff that likes to be dedicated. They like to show dedication. More dedicated than a Lil Wayne mix tape. They are America’s best dealer with a convenient market and competitive precious metals prices. Check them out now, man!

Dogs in America in Hollywood

2008-03-13T17:18:00.000-07:00

In America, the poodle became so unpopular in the 1920s it almost died out - can you imagine a poodle-parlour free world? Yet the poodle was originally a tough, butch breed, a water dog renowned for its duck hunting skills, without a bow in sight. The name is from the German for puddle (pfudel), and those little puffs of fancily trimmed fur at ankle and tail, as well as the No. 1 close shave on the upper thighs were first of all practical - designed for protection and mobility when hunting and swimming. And fish hunting. And Scuba Diving. Yet Brand Poodle was relaunched in France - retiring their oh-so 16th Century practical dog tags for coiffed treeses, sculpted locks and multicoloured fur coats, more elaborate than their owners. They went on to become the ultimate fashion accessory for the French aristocracy in the 17th and 18th Century. Come into the 2000s and it seems the Poodle needs another rebrand, to shed this silly skin and back away from the stigma of the silly haircuts. It's not going too well. Take one random poodle story. Best of Breed winner at last year's Welsh Kennel Club show, La Marka Lemerle Oscar Wilde (ahem). Disqualified after being found wearing hairspray. It's an illegal substance now - banned by the Kennel Club. The equivalent of steroids for canines. In the past, dog owners used to do all sorts to preen their pooches prior to ringside performance - add chalk, hair mousse or shine, but alas! no longer! So, Wilde's owner is screaming sabotage! He said: "I'm not saying there wasn't hairspray on my dog, but I didn't put it there." So, we are left with a mystery on our paws, who was the elusive hairspraying menace - and when will he strike again? Perhaps it was another dog. Because I know it ain't no bulldog that would do that.

I'm so sober right now

2008-03-13T16:59:00.000-07:00

You know what's awesome? Nothing? Right. Now that that's out of the way, let's get down to business. This weekend in Arizona is going to be the best experience of 2008 so far--which is not tough. So far, let's recap my 2008: -Dated Clippers cheerleader for a month -Dated a few other girls -worked on my website -worked entertainment temp jobs for not too much money -have felt like I am in trouble if I don't right the ship soon -feel almost like I wasted 4 years -went to the Orange Bowl Yeah, I'd say this weekend will easily top all others so far. Hopefully it will be topped soon as well, but if not...well...it just will. There's no way that this weekend will be the most fun of the year. That's not possible. Bye.

I'm an exec, but I need a job! Help!

2008-02-27T15:57:00.000-08:00

There are times in this life when big time executives lose their jobs. In these times of unemployment crisis, it's time to either sell your house or look into an executive recruiting firm. Ever since this country was full of dirty, smelly hippies who now are glorified in IBM commercials, back in 1967, A.E. Feldman Associates, Inc., has been a big part of the recruiting field, and have had a high level of service and commitment. They have upheld this level for a long time, and they have no plans of stopping now. They have successfully placed a lot of top-notch candidates together with industry-leading clients. That skill makes them awesome, for one, but also, it tends to lead to a good reputation, and, believe me, they are consistent. This makes the one searching for work, and the company seeking an employee, content, dog. All of their top-of-the-hill recruiters know their respective industry. The industry they recruit for is the exact same industry where this recruiter had a history--a successful career of their own. They bring an invaluable depth of experience, skill and insight because of this. Those are 3 words I know I want associated with my recruiter. And these geniuses have the knowledge, contacts and the feel for their respective field. Coolness, dude! They'll even use it to find the tightest fit for each and every job. Now if that isn't what you call productivity, what is? Seriously...I don't know! Well, I'll tell you right now, that if you don't know, I'll tell you: Their practices include financial and risk management services, legal and legal support services, communications and technology, human resources consulting, and luxury products. And within those nostalgic areas, you better believe AEF fills positions. If they don't, I'll delete my blog and leave this world on a spaceship. What positions though? Well, they do this nationally, and I'm talking about positions from the middle, to executive, all the way up to "C level" management. And then some. They also fill associate, partner, analyst and managing director positions. They are worktastic...if that was a real word, according to Webster's.

Spice it up, ya'll

2008-02-27T10:23:00.000-08:00

After a grueling 3 month stint on the road, the party is just about over for the Spice Girls Reunion Tour. While Les Spices didn't quite get to visit all the countries they promised to visit at the onset of the tour, the ladies did manage to bring their Reunion Tour to quite a few cities across the US and Europe (some cities were lucky enough to enjoy multiple night shows ... which is odd since other cities (and countries, for that matter) were completely omitted altogether). But the sun will set on the Spice Girls Reunion Tour tonight as they play their very last show (reportedly their last show together ever) in Toronto, Canada (after playing their second to last show there last night) ce soir. If I didn't know any better, I'd say the show fucking sucked. Oh wait, I do know better, and I'm right. Celebrity gossip is retarded. If you made it to this point, go take a shower.

Letterman show gossip

2008-02-27T10:16:00.000-08:00

Blake Lively was spotted making her grand entrance to "The Late Show with David Letterman" in NYC on February 5, and I just have to wonder... did she change her outfit before she filmed the show? I didn't catch the episode, did anyone see if Blake did a little outfit switcheroo? Don't get me wrong, her outfit is basic and cute, but it's not really Letterman appropriate, right? She started with a light brown bomber jacket and paired with a basic scoop neck tee (like Rails' Kenna Long Sleeve Tee in Cream) and dark jeans (similar to James Jeans' Hunter High Rise Straight Leg Jean in Blue C), then slipped on a pair of suede boots and she was entrance ready. For those of you who can't get enough "Gossip Girl", it seems that there are some behind-the-scenes rumors that are causing a lot of, ahem, gossip. Allegedly, right before (and during) the writer's strike, the tension on set was skyrocketing between Blake and co-star Leighton Meester, as a source said, "Leighton Meester and Blake Lively avoid each other like the plague while castmates choose sides. Chace Crawford tends to stick close to Leighton, while Penn Badgley hangs on and offscreen with Blake. The crew will snag Blake for a scene just moments before it is shot so they can avoid any awkwardness with Leighton." I wonder sometimes why these people are the way they are.

Silver is back and you should be excited

2008-02-06T22:53:00.000-08:00

I'm getting really sick of the way the U.S. dollar is performing. I feel like this economy is fucked. But, luckily...there is still other investments that you can invest in--like silver. In fact, there is somebody who will help you. Monex Depost Company (MDC). They will help you immediately and you can purchase silver or even other precious metals that will immediately be delivered, personally, to you, if you want. Or, you can arrange for a convenient and safe storage at absolutely, positively, realistically, any independent bank and/or depository. It makes me feel a lot better about the dollar. I don't know if it affects it, but it makes me feel slightly better. Especially since they've been doing this for 30 years and have been America's silver and precious metals investment leader. It's available in two forms for ya: coin or ingot. What's the difference? A lot of people ask that. Well, ingots are generally silver ingots of a pure bullion cast. It's a small little nugget in a convenient size and shape. And, of course, coins are coins; they have a currency value, or are actually defined by ingots. The demand for silver in this world is high too. It exceeds the annual production. It has every year since 1990. Isn't that crazy? Every, single, year, bro. Fuck yeah, I'm stoked just typing that. And like Bubba Gump Shrimp, and the different ways to prepare that petite crustacean, there are different ways silver is stored. There are above ground stockpiles of silver bullion that are low, and shrinking rapidly. I mean, it's approaching zero, people. Monex Precious Metals is home to a large and dedicated staff. They have hard asset professionals committed to serving your precious metals investment needs yo. They are America's best dealer with a convenient market and competitive precious metals prices. As they say in my weekly Golf Tips podcast, "That's what I'm talking about." -Drunk Blogger

I'm actually excited about this...

2008-02-06T22:00:00.000-08:00

President of Porsche Cars North America, Peter Schwarzenbauer, will unveil the 2008 Porsche Cayenne GTS at a breakfast before the public opening of the Chicago Auto Show. Schwarzenbauer will demonstrate how an SUV can be fun to drive and earn a high performance rating in addition to its utilitarian configuration. Many of Porsche’s latest engineering innovations are incorporated in the new GTS model. He can also answer questions on the state of the sports car market in the U.S. BACKGROUND: The Porsche Cayenne has been the best-selling Porsche model since it was introduced in February, 2003. A hybrid model, still in the design stage, was announced recently to join the model line by 2010. The 2008 Cayenne GTS being introduced in Chicago features a 405hp 4.8 liter V-8 engine. Based on the same V8 found in the Cayenne S, this more robust powerplant can be coupled either with an automatic Tiptronic S or, for the first time in a Cayenne V8, a six-speed manual transmission for those who want to take full advantage of this new power and suspension package. The GTS gets its cornering prowess from standard 21-inch alloy rims equipped with 295/35 R21 tires and air suspension that features Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). The Cayenne GTS front end is reminiscent of the Cayenne Turbo while the body has a lower stance and a striking new wheel-arch design that complements the new 21-inch rims. The interior boasts redesigned front and rear seats that offer a sportier look and feel with Alcantara to hold both driver and passenger in place during spirited driving. The 2008 Cayenne GTS goes on sale this and pricing for this new model is US $69,300.

Cherful news

2008-02-06T21:56:00.000-08:00

I, along with the rest of the world, am very relieved to hear that Cher plans to fulfill her obligation to Caesar's Palace and share the stage with Bette Midler starting in May. First we heard that Cher was having special treatments for "tummy troubles." Then we heard the unsettling news that a source had bumped into Cher in the waiting room at the UCLA Medical Center in the outpatient treatment center for cancer patients having chemotherapy. Supposedly, Cher was seen there twice with a bodyguard by her side. Since she's gearing up to perform in May, we figure Cher was there not for treatment herself, but waiting for someone- maybe even Farrah Fawcett. And the show WILL go on in Las Vegas! That's what I'm talking about, Cher. Kick some getting old ass!

Drunk Blogger needs sea creatures in his life

2008-01-31T02:06:00.000-08:00

Christina is partier

2008-01-31T01:55:00.000-08:00

Christina XTINA Aguilera and hubby Jordan Bratman have welcomed the arrival of their newborn son, Max Liron Bratman. Great name if you are a 17th century pianist. Why do celebrities always give their kids some weird ass name as if they wont get made fun of at school. Liron? The little munchkin weighed in at 6lbs 2oz, which is coincidentally the same weight of the first fist he'll be punched with in the face when he is 10. That's a big fist! On another note, 2 days earlier, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden welcomed a baby girl into the world. HER name? Harlow Winter Kate Madden at 6lbs 7oz. Maybe their babies can hook up in the future and be a super couple living the simple life. Hey-oh! Not funny.

This is awesome, Tony Romo dumps Jessica Simpson

2008-01-31T01:24:00.000-08:00

This is so awesome. According to The Enquirer, Tony Romo broke it off with Jessica Simpson because he is all ready to propose to his college sweetheart. Awesome. That's a good idea. The mag claims that the whole time Jessica and Tony were "dating" he was two-timing her with Crystal Kasper, a 25-year-old optometrist. The two fell for each other during their days at Eastern Illinois University. A source says, "If you could see Tony's phone bill from all the calls and text messages he sends Crystal, you'd be stunned. They couldn't hook up much during the season. She was finishing her doctoral studies in Florida. But I know Tony flew Crystal to a game in Chicago where they spent time together." The source claims Tony is glad to get away from the whole Hollywood scene. They say Romo is finishing up a $1.4 million lakeside house in his hometown of Burlington, Wisconsin. "There's going to be a housewarming on Valentines Day, and Tony's flying Crystal in. That's when he's set to propose." Ouch.

Capella is back!

2008-01-14T18:42:00.000-08:00

This blog post was based on information provided by Blogitive. For more information, please visit Blogitive.com. There is a new place called capella university? If you are looking for a good education, online, and nowhere else, then it's the first place you should check out. They are the best! They were founded in 1993, it is a completely accredited university online. That means they are legit. They offer graduate online degree programs in business, information technology, education, human services, public health, public safety, psychology, and bachelor's degree programs in business, information technology, and public safety. But the detailed educational system at Capella doesn't stop there. Within those areas, they have 104 graduate and undergraduate specializations. They also have 15 areas of certification. That's a pretty technologically advanced way to get a certificate, isn't it? I'm pretty amazed at how great of a school it sounds like. They currently serve almost 20,000 students from all 50 states and 56 different countries! (I'll let you know when they officially reach 20,000. Check back for live updates of that.) They are pursuing business growth. They want to grow, while helping you grow. They provide high-caliber academic excellence. They want to be successful, and you too! Most people don't realize this next bit of information either... They are owned by Capella Education Company of course. Their headquarters are in Minneapolis. If you want to find out more, then you better Google them, Yahoo them, or, the better option: click on the link above. They are awesome from what I hear...and you know how credible the stuff I hear is--very.

More madness that drives me crazy

2008-01-14T17:49:00.001-08:00

K-Fed has slapped Britney with a restraining order!B has to stay at least 100 feet from the Fedster at all times, and since he’s got full custody of their two sons, it’s pretty safe to say she’ll be at least that far away from the boys too (that is, unless they can crawl over to the nearest gas station). We knew she’s bat-sh*t crazy and all, but we didn’t think she was homicidal - which begs the question: Is K-Daddy trying to make Britney go as insane as possible at this point?? Discuss. It’s no secret that B-Mama is pissed at “Doctor” Phil for barging in on her while she was getting ready to leave Cedars Sinai this weekend, but the PhD (not MD or DO mind you, so he reallydid NOT have much of a right to be in the psych ward) maintained that he was asked to make the visit by Brit’s familia. Well, that may be, but the fam is none to happy that Phil decided to spin the incident for publicity and whore the whole thing out as a very special episode of his talk show. If that doesn't drive you crazy I can't help you.

JM for Prezzie

2008-01-14T17:45:00.000-08:00

Here’s a message that John Meyer posted on his official blog yesterday, and we have to tell ya, he’s kinda rockin’ our world - even more so than usual! Read and learn, friends, read and learn: “UNDER THE (IMPRESSION I CAN) INFLUENCE (PEOPLE AROUND ME) I’m taking to the blog today to share something with you that I feel more passionate about than I saw coming. I want to make it short and sweet so that anybody who wants to re-print it can copy and paste without editing… Went out to dinner Thursday night. My car. One glass of wine. Carpooled from dinner to go out to one more place. Everyone in my car. At the next spot, I do the Diet Coke with Lime thing. My favorite scotch (Lagavulin 16 year) arrives under my nose. “Can’t do it,” I say. Then I find out my friend has switched to Designated Driver and has a plan that involves everyone getting home safe. Cool. I love Lagavulin when the time is right. Now it’s the end of the night and I’m feeling wonderfully buzzy and ready to get dropped off to my house in my car, except the person that was going to follow my car in the DD’s car to drive him back isn’t in shape to drive either. It’s 2 o’clock in the morning. I call my housemate Chad. Chad’s sleeping. He was in the studio all day. I explain to him that I need him to jump in the back seat of my car, ride to the DD’s car and drive me back home. Of course Chad says “yes” and comes through like a champ. A champ, I say. Here’s what I want to tell you: If I, incredibly hot/fugly John Mayer can make that call, so can you. The distance from the parking lot to my house was about 5 miles, mostly straight shot up the coast of Santa Monica, zero traffic. And I didn’t drive it. Me. The guy who gets the VIP velvet rope treatment in life. Oh, and the call? It’s not the coolest you’ll ever sound. And the logistics? It’s kind of inelegant. You trace the same route twice when all you want to do is fall into bed. But you gotta do it. This is all coming from a guy who you can be sure would have found a sexier way to get home if there was one available. And there just isn’t, especially in LA. (You can be sexy again the next day when you wake up with the rest of your big, beautiful life in front of you.) I’m not writing this to earn golf claps, it’s just that if I’m going to stand in any way as an ambassador of something cool or influential, this is more important than any pair of sneakers or a guitar. And to give a big high five to the Chads of the world. See you around

Kava Kava ya'll!

2008-01-09T12:49:00.000-08:00

You feel like Hawaii? Check out kava kava. What are they? Well, let's start where they are located: nestled in the fertile volcanic slopes of Kona's Hualalai Mountain where climatic conditions and micro nutrient rich soil are seriously famous for producing Hawaii's coffee that everybody wants. Excited yet? I am. This is awesome. They sell organic Kava products in a wide variety. They are the growers and the suppliers...so they can control it all to make the absolute best coffee product for you. Simply put, only Kona Kava Farm grows 426 strains of Kava. Kave is the most potent type, and they are organic certified for all of their kava products. They are the only ones to do that. I'm telling you, now listen. They are deep in the history of Hawaii with their philosophy too. Their native Kava Root allows the ancient wisdom of Hawaii. That wisdom is to come forth to heal and restore balance to your life. In fact, elders of Hawaii used to say, “If you drink too much root, you must walk backwards, so the ground does not come up to greet you”. I guess that makes sense...although I had to think about it for a minute. Wouldn't the ground still meet you if you walked backwards? Well...any matter...it's from old people, so you know it's profound in some way. The Hawaiian kava is very potent and suits the needs for long and pleasant ceremonies that are conducive to sociability and the telling of long stories... You don't say, huh? Now, let's talk effects. They last about an hour, and if you take more servings, it can expend the effects as long as you want! (Well...at least to the maximum daily recommendation by the FDA.) Be careful, everybody is different. Don't overdo it. Larger bodies may require more product…it’s all open to personal experimentation. What is in their featured variety? Well, how about some Piper methysticum? It's the highly potent Mahakea...which is from the Mahakea strain. They make their prized Powdered Kava Root, as well as all the many other Kava products! So now you can prepare it in many ways. You could go the traditional Hawaiian preparation. What is that? You can mix the powdered root in a large bowl with water that can be consumed by a lot of guests. Kava can be mixed in with water, fruit or vegetable juices. Try some Kava Recipes, or try their ORGANIC VEGAN CHOCOLATE and HOODIA GORDONII products as well! Now let's break it down: Their roots are only from their own Kava plants. They have 90% lateral roots and only 10% underground. There has never been liver damage that has been a problem as a result of their products. There is no evidence of that at all man. They used distilled water and pure, organic ethanol too. It's been proven to be a safe herbal supplement...even though for 3,000 years, Hawaii has known that. Duh! It's their "National Drink of Fiji"! Check it out!

You ever listened to Outkast with breakfast?

2008-01-09T12:45:00.000-08:00

Seriously, you should try it sometime if you haven't. It's not quite as cool as playing Pink Floyd's one album while you watch The Wizard of Oz--it doesn't quite match up the same way--but still, it's pretty damn cool. As I was eating my cereal, Andre 3000 was singing about moving to the back of the bus, and I thought, "You know, I could eat this cereal at the back of the bus. It would probably be challenging!" But then, just as I was thinking about going to the bus stop, the song about bombs over Baghdad came on...and I was watching CNN Planet in Peril while eating bacon! Can you believe that? What are the chances!? So, seriously, you need to check out Outkast while you eat breakfast. It's freaky, man.

Primary madness!

2008-01-09T12:42:00.000-08:00

Way back in January 2000, John McCain was winning New Hampshire, George W. Bush didn’t matter, and Hillary Clinton was in the White House. So much has changed. Thanks for being part of our fun-filled New Hampshire coverage. We have more reports and video and photos and detritus that we’ll be posting in the morning, but it’s pretty much a wrap for tonight — 86% of the precincts have managed to turn in ballots, and there’s really only 6,000 votes between Hill’s big victory and Barry’s tragic race-based loss. If you want a quick bullet-point link list, you are in luck because we are posting one later. I know I can't wait. Can you? It's gonna be rat-tastic!

When I have a wedding, I'm checking here first

2008-01-09T12:37:00.000-08:00

Under certain circumstances, wedding flowers can be a disappointment. But I'm here to tell you: not in this case. FiftyFlowers.com is easy and won't break your piggy bank. They specialize in wedding flowers. This I know. They can hook up your wedding event big time. They have various types of roses--like: premium roses, calla lilies, rose petals, gerbera daisies, hydrangeas, peonies and many other flowers and greens! But how are they delivered? Well, at below wholesale cost and with the least fuss possible! How else would they be delivered? Duh! They have varieties of bulk flowers that they carry for all occasions. This includes premium bouquets, table arrangements, centerpieces, and wedding flower packages...just to name a few. To point out, this is different from local florists. Local florists buy their flowers from importers and wholesalers who keep the flowers in freakin' coolers for multiple days! But, these guys use overnight express to ship to the customer! Flower wholesalers cut the stems and put the flowers in water to re-hydrate them, and then the local florist can retails flowers that are actually hydrated and open. That doesn't sound that great to me. Does it sound good to you? I didn't think so. They don't do this, so don't worry about it. They remove the wholesaler and retailer from the flower supply chain. That saves up to 75% on the flower cost for you customers! Now, I know this is sounding good to you. It is sounding good to me too. Well, Liza Roeser Atwood is a founder and chief executive officer. Want to hear what she has to say? Well, you don't need to, but she says all good things! The traffic on this site over the years has just gone up and up. The same has happened to wedding costs. The average cost of a wedding is $28,000. Can you believe that? That's a lot of money. So special treatment and personalized consultations to brides who need help has been happening for FiftyFlowers. And the cost of shipping these flowers is included in the wholesale prices. They can be ordered in large or small quantities. Awesome. They even offer wedding flower packages that are beautifully arranged at their flower facility according to your custom order! It's like a Wedding in a Box! They get 23 pieces...and this includes bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquet, corsages, boutonnieres, and table arrangements. The focal flower, accent flowers and greens are chosen by the bride. That's what I'm talking about! The experts step in when they need to, but otherwise, the bride runs the show! Dang! They have been doing this for almost ten years. They deliver the best quality, freshly cut flowers directly from their farms in Ecuador, Columbia, and other locations, to you. They send these flowers everywhere. Now you have to be the one to order them. Get it going, man!

I woke up this morning with a hangover

2008-01-09T12:29:00.000-08:00

I woke up this morning with a hangover. It was not pretty. After drinking chambord and Diet Dr. Pepper's all night, and reading GQ, I realized that I was being lame as shit. It was pretty much the worst thing you could spend your night doing if you are a straight male. Oh well, but yeah, lame. So today, I decided to remedy the situation by going to the gym, playing tackle football, getting into a fight, and banging 3 chicks back-to-back. It's the only way I can make up for the gayest night in the history of being bored. But I'm still hungover, so I'll probably just do that stuff tomorrow. Womp-womp-wooommmppp.

I follow politics too

2008-01-09T12:28:00.000-08:00

In one of the last vestiges of the pretty fantasy that voting precincts are like neighborhoods and everyone knows each other, there are great swaths of this nation where you don’t need to show a government-issue picture ID to vote. Maybe you show your voter reg card, or they compare your signature, or you do show ID but you don’t have to. Indiana is not one of those places. Of course, their little voter ID law, which was put into place to prevent supposedly rampant voter fraud (and not the hanging-chads kind), discriminates against people that don’t have and/or can’t afford drivers licenses or non-license state ID card. Those people are mostly poor (cough, often minorities, cough) and elderly, who, surprise! Vote Democratic more often than not. The Supreme Court heard a challenge to that voter identification law this morning.

Medical supplies for everybody!

2008-01-09T00:08:00.000-08:00

You and me need some medical supplies. You know why? Because you do. Well...the question now is: where? Where? Seriously? Yeah. How about AllegroMedical.com? It's awesome! It was founded in 1996, and it now serves over 1 million customers! Awesome! They are one of the largest and absolutely most technologically advanced independently owned online retailers of life enhancing products in the United States. You need to find it and do it, man. They've done this lately. And since launching this first ecommerce site that specializes in the medical equipment and home health care supplies industry...which was in 1998 ya'll...they have completely enhanced and expanded. Now they include mainstream consumer retails products. Such as what? Such as Exercise & Fitness Equipment, Nutritional Dietary Supplements, Maternity/Baby Supplies and Outdoor Gear of course! You should have know that! Well...there's more. They have a main flagship site, and it offers 55,000 products, under 50 categories and hundreds of sub-categories! You can shop by these categories, or by brand, or by condition even! Now, that's some convenient stuff man. Isn't that cool? But, do you want to find out about some of their recent site features that they added? Well, then, here: RSS feed / Blogs / Product Guides – (Shopping for Baby Products, Products to Help You Stay Cool, Guide to Wound Care Products…, Auto Re-Order – (Customers set deliveries at intervals), Shop by Condition (Visitors select from products based on their medical condition) Isn't that some good stuff? And now, here is a sample of featured products: FreeStyle Diabetes Test Strips, Pediasure, Kinesio Tape, X2 Vest Weight Vest, Carpal Tunnel Computer Glove, Breast Feeding Pillow, Blood Pressure Monitor, Shower Chair, Polar Heart Monitor, Philips HeartStart Home AED Defibrillator. And here are the popular categories fo you all, man: Children/Pediatric, Daily Living Aids, Diabetic Supplies, Emergency Preparation, Exercise/Fitness, Hospital Discharge Favorites, Maternity Care, Sexual Well-Being, Urologicals/Catheters, Wound Care Supplies. Aren't those some cool features, man! And now, if you act now, and not only now, you can get the free Allegro eCatalog that offers serious limited time specials and discounts to anyone who sings up! That's awesome. That is the best thing I've ever seen online! And in case you were wondering...they are privately owned and based out of Tempe, AZ.

New Hampshire coverage

2008-01-08T22:51:00.000-08:00

In yesterday's New Hampshire primary, turnout among young voters doubled over 2004 levels. With almost all precincts reporting in, an analysis by CIRCLE, the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (pdf), showed that turnout among voters under 30 hit a high of 37%, up from 18% in 2004. In total, CIRCLE estimated that 72,041 young people made it to the ballot box on Tuesday, making up 16% of the total electorate. This continued a trend of rising participation among young voters begun in 2004, when youth turnout in the general election rose by 4.3 million votes over 2000 levels. These numbers are initial estimates, and actual turnout numbers are likely to rise as the final precincts report their results.

Silly nerds!

2008-01-08T22:50:00.000-08:00

Sen. Hillary Clinton eked out an unexpected victory in the New Hampshire primary. With 89 percent of the precincts reporting, she edged Sen. Barack Obama by two percentage points, according to the Manchester Union Leader. John Edwards placed third with 17 percent of Democratic ballots cast. While all the pundits are in a tizzy as they had expected Obama to win by a landslide, everyone is in agreement that a record turnout, the will of women voters and the candidate's newfound openness, favored Clinton.

Parenting is what you make of it

2007-12-29T22:21:00.000-08:00

Guess what, parenting is what you make of it. There are baby shops reviews online. Do you know about them? The Knot Inc., would like to announce the birth of lilaguide.com. What is it? It's the very first hub for real parent reviews of local stores & services. For a parent, this has got to be a great tool. It's a gigantic search engine of 120,000+ reviews and 32,000 listings of local stores, baby products, classes, doctor, and dining spots that cater to younger kids. And they do this for thousands, count em, thousands, of U.S. neighborhoods, man. These are REAL parents, sharing their reviews from cities like New York to L.A., Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco, and Miami. It seems the internet can actually help parenting now. And the site is Web 2.0 friendly, featuring social networking, user-generated reviews and geo-targeted technology. There are apparently 4+ million first-time parents each year in America. Now they will have a place to access information 24-hours a day, to find out what they can look for in baby stores. Now first hand parent ratings and candid commentary (along with contact information) can be found online. You can find restaurants that cater to family dining. You can find activities, service providers and baby gear retailers too. They know the site will be a success (or are hoping), based on the popularity of the lilaguide book series. Just think of all the questions you have, being a first-time parent. Here is just one question that they will answer: Where can I get my baby a haircut? I bet you didn't think about that one before, huh? But what about a pediatrician? Or a pilates studio with post partum classes for you mothers? The list of new parent needs is quite a big list. It's bigger than a Christmas list. But knowing what other local parents do can help. Lilaguide.com breaks down their reviews of baby businesses by zip code, city, and even neighborhood. Sounds awesome to me. They also cover these categories: baby furniture stores, breast feeding rentals, nurses, nannies, pediatricians, music and gym classes, mommy networks, diaper delivery, portraits, and more! Pretty awesome. How about some other sample questions that you may not even have thought of, unless in these situations: • WHAT’S THE BEST STROLLER FOR TWINS? You'll be able to find this answer on lilaguide with the Baby Gear Review Engine. You can search and find reviews for nearly every single baby item on the market. You can compare users reviews as well. • WHERE CAN I BUY BUGABOO IN BROOKLYN? Sure, we all wonder this...except you would most likely substitute your own city--unless you just really liked Brooklyn. Well, lilaguide is also equipped with geo-targeting technology. This allows moms and dads to find the items they want to buy for their babies within a one-mile radius of their homes. That's close! They can even read reviews of the stores online. That may just save you a trip. • WHO HAS THE BEST MATERNITY CLOTHES? You most likely aren't just looking for stuff for your baby. Your mother will need clothes as well. So Lilaguide.com addresses topics for parents expecting too. Soon-to-be-moms need everything from doulas to pregnancy massages to maternity stores and birthing classes. You'll find these things on Lilaguide.com as well. I think that Lilaguide.com sounds great, just by itself, but as if that weren't enough, the site also feature “Lilapicks." What are Lilapicks? They are the most frequently and positively reviewed businesses and products on the site...and for each city! Often, just talking to people is the best way to get information for parents, and now, with Lilaguide.com, you can get the opinions of people all over, and tons of them. This way, you won't have to rely on one idiot neighbor for your baby advice. It's all about the user. Members of this site are encouraged to contribute their own reviews and critiques. 24-hours a day, you can get the best information possible at Lilaguide.com. Do it, today! And be on the lookout for their next site, TheNestBaby.com! It's awesome!

A press release brings at least a glimmer of end-of-year good news to the otherwise moribund state of writers strike affairs: Worldwide Pants, which sought to reach an independent deal with the WGA that would allow both their late night talk shows to return to the airwaves with a full roster of Guild-approved Top Ten lists, Know Your Current Events questions, and whatever it is they do on The Late Late Show, has successfully negotiated an agreement with their writers' union: "The Writers Guild has reached a binding independent agreement today with Worldwide Pants that will allow Late Night with David Letterman and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson to return to the air with their full writing staffs.

Hey there ya'll

We realize this makeover isn't that new, but did the Sun-Maid girl fix a deviated septum? And get Botox? And a chemical peel? And a brow lift? And go tanning? She's still being styled by Rachel Zoe, though. Zing! · The AMPTP clock has hit $151,000,000. Why is that figure significant? Well, says their website, it's the moment the strike has crossed over into the red abyss, costing the writers more than they were negotiating for in the first place. Do you taste the bitter irony here? It's so unpleasant on the tongue! · The visor supposedly worn by Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation and sold by Christie's to a Trekkie for $6000 is now suspected of being a fake. · It's official: Rocky's son and the indestructible cheerleader are doing it! · Did somebody say...list? Reality Blurred reminds us of all the reality stars who died this year--a surprisingly hefty lot--as well as a bunch of other reality TV stuff from a year where the format reigned supreme.

Credit cards online...?

2007-12-29T21:32:00.000-08:00

If you are anything like me, or successful Hollywood actor, Trott Felipe, you know how tough it can be to find an Online Credit Card. Well, now you have an option. A very good option. What is it? CreditCardSearchEngine.com, and it's awesome. It is literally one of the longest running sites for online credit card comparison, ever, man. I'd even go as far as to say that it's the shit. I'm in love with it. It's hot. What does it do though? Well, it allows consumers, businesses, and students to all search, compare, and apply for all types of credit card offers. You can find everything from low interest and reward cards, all the way up to cards for people with horrible to average credit. (People with ridiculously good credit probably don't need this.) CreditCardSearchEngine features offers from the leaders in U.S. Credit Card issuers...but who is that? Well...how about these: J.P. Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank and leading brands Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover Card. Have you heard of all of those totally sick credit card companies? No? You better learn something then...by going to this site. It's awesome. I mean, seriously, I've got a good credit boner right now. This website is why I wake up in the morning, and why I sleep like a baby on a pillow filled with 2 dollar bills. If you don't think so, you aren't me. Check it out!

David Faustino and his wife, AndreaThe 3-year marriage of Married … With Children star David Faustino and his wife, Andrea, is officially over. After filing divorce papers in Feb., their petition was granted Friday on the grounds of irreconcilable differences. In the original papers, Faustino stated that he did not want to pay spousal support. Court papers released Friday reveal that a settlement has been agreed to between the parties, but was “not being attached to the judgment for privacy purposes.” Wait...who?

D. Letterman is back in the hizouse (I hate this title)

2007-12-29T21:24:00.000-08:00

Just in time for the New Year, some fresh laughs will soon be back on late night television.

Those two shows will be allowed “to return to the air with their full writing staffs,” according to a statement from the Guild. “This is a comprehensive agreement that addresses the issues important to writers, particularly New Media,” which refers to the use of their work on the internet.

Drunk Blogger likes radiators that are good

2007-12-29T21:22:00.000-08:00

If you have a Toyota, then you probably need a Toyota Radiator. Man, I tell you one thing, man: Radiators.com is awesome. They are the largest radiator distributor in the country! They have warehouse shelves that are literally fully lined with over...count em...over 60,000 different radiators and ac condensers!!! They have radiators for all makes and momdels...and I'm talking BMW to Toyota. That range. And they also, each, engineer to OE specifications for that absolute perfect fit...the very first time. The uno time. The one time you try it. Their are the definition of quality. They match or exceed that of your original radiator. They guarantee it, man. They prove it when they want. They back each and every audio radiator with an....wait for it...wait for it...unlimited lifetime warranty! Party time! Call 1-800-395-3889 if you want to find out more. If you don't, that's your problem. But how did this start? 20 years ago. They were a 3-man operation. They answered the phones, delivered auto radiators all over Northern California in less than 3 hours, man. They were pimps (figuratively). And then, to make that more cool, they operated a single warehouse in northern California that stocked roughly 200 different kinds of radiators. They didn't have help of computers. They stored the tech info in their heads. They probably had big heads. Also, they stored a huge bin of candy, and send you a bag with every radiator as a thank you. That's awesome! Now, they have warehouses all over the U.S. They now have 45 radiator experts on call 13 hours a day, seven days a week. Toll free, man! So, all together now, they have 1,000 years of professional experience with radiators and cooling systems, man. I bet you didn't know that, man. The help of computers helps too. So anyway, a lot has changed, but they still know what got them their. And guess what, they still give you candy too. That's f'ing awesome if you ask me, brah. Do business with them, if you need a good radiator. It will be worth it.

According to the star-watchers at AOL Horoscopes, the TomKat marriage is destined to be an impossible mission if the ceremony is scheduled between 6:41 AM and 3:46 PM, to be precise. That's when the Moon will be what's known as "Void-of-Course" in Libra at 6:41 AM, and then will not enter Scorpio until 3:46 PM, meaning that nothing good can come out of anything if it happens during that time. Later in the day, the news isn't much better; the Moon in Scorpio can dredge up a lot of dark, ugly emotions. Of course, the other planets involved -- Venus, Saturn, Mars, and Neptune, as well as the Sun -- don't spectacularly align for the couple; with foreboding, hardship and destruction the dominant themes of the planetary tea leaves. The couple reportedly arrived in Rome today to get everything set for the Nov. 18 nuptials. Star-crossed lovers indeed!

Preggers is the new time to get married

2007-12-29T21:18:00.000-08:00

Jamie Lynn Spears’ co-star has spoken out about pushy parent Lynne, who is said to have pushed the 16-year-old in directions she wasn’t comfortable with. Alexa Nikolas, Jamie Lynn’s co-star on Zoey 101, said “Jamie wanted something different for her life, and her mother put her in situations she didn’t want to be in,” Friends and family members of the Spears clan have said that unlike Britney, Jamie Lynn never wanted to be famous. “She never cared about celebrity,” says one old family friend. “She preferred life back home in Kentwood Louisiana.” As soon as Jamie Lynn, 16, confided in her mom, 52, about her pregnancy, Lynne convinced her daughter - to the massive displeasure of her father, Jamie Spears - to break the news via the cover of OK! Magazine for $1 million.

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren hopped on the engagement bandwagon this week. Cash decided to make an honest woman out of Jessica who he met in 2004 on the set of Fantastic Four. It was recently announced that Cash put a baby up in that ass if I’m using the correct medical terminology which I’m 90% sure I am. The Associated Press reports: "I can confirm that they are engaged," Alba's publicist, Brad Cafarelli, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Thursday. The couple is expecting their first child in late spring or early summer, Cafarelli said. I can’t believe all these young couples don’t realize that, Garth, marriage is a punishment for shoplifting in some countries. I also can’t believe I just blatantly ripped off Wayne’s World. If I start quoting Coneheads, I want you to give me my medication. And by medication, I mean hit me with your car.

J. Simpson in thee house!

2007-12-29T16:58:00.001-08:00

Jessica Simpson isn’t the box-office draw you’d expect a hot chick with a creamy stupid center to be. Her latest film Blonde Ambition was headed straight for DVD until the producers decided to show the film in Jessica’s home state of Texas. It not only bombed but set the stage for the rest of her film releases, according to Page Six: The turkey took in just $1,322 on its opening weekend in eight Texas theaters. Jessica's next picture, "Major Movie Star," with Vivica A. Fox and Steve Guttenberg, is also heading straight to DVD. I did the math on this one and it’s bad. Assuming movie tickets are $10, roughly 16 people saw this movie at each theater over a three day span. If this isn’t a giant sign that says “Jessica Simpson, it’s time for porn” then I don’t know what is. I mean, besides that billboard I built outside her bedroom window that says “Jessica Simpson, it’s time for porn.” Her dad was a big help though, so I can’t take all the credit.

Capella University is online and ready

2007-12-19T20:20:00.000-08:00

You ready to earn a degree online? Sure, we all are. Well now, you can check out these online degrees. It's a good way to get educated. Trust me. Seriously, it is. I've heard of Capella University before, and it is legitimate. Now, I'm going to tell you more. From what I hear, Capella University is an accredited university (which is huge). And it's been around. It was founded in 1993. It's fully online and offers graduate online degree programs in the following: business, information technology, education, human services, public health, public safety, and psychology. It also offers bachelor’s degree programs in business, information technology, and public safety. Those are some pretty good areas if I do say so myself. But it goes deeper than that, folks. They offer 101 graduate and undergraduate specializations and 15 certificate programs within those areas I just mentioned. Sweet! And if you think the university is small time, then listen to this: They have more than 19,900 students enrolled online right now! And this is from all 50 states and 56 countries! That's quite a reach. And they want the academic experience to be of the highest caliber. Even though you are studying online, they want you to grow, as if you were at a university in person. Listen, folks. If you want an online education that will truly be valuable to your development as a person, Capella University is it. They are completely owned by the Capella Education Company. Their headquarters are in Minneapolis. For more information, check out the link above. You won't be disappointed. I don't work for them, but if I did, I would guarantee it too.

I was wondering when we would hear how Britney Spears's dad, Jamie, felt about Jamie Lynn's big baby news. We know he was "shocked", but how does he really feel about his baby having a baby and telling the world by announcing it to a tabloid? As you can expect, he's not exactly ga-ga over this development. A source close the Spears family says that Daddy Spears is "furious" that ex wife Lynne allowed their daughter to sell the story to Ok!, who is known for handing out the big bucks for exclusives of this caliber. "He put his foot down and refused to take any money and 'profit off of his children,'" the source says of Jamie. "Lynne didn't care." The insiders tell Usmagazine.com that Jamie is "devastated" by the news of the pregnancy. He's "extremely depressed" and "feels Jamie Lynn ruined her life." Can you blame him? All Jamie Lynn needed to do was not get pregnant by some random guy and she would have been the golden child.

Angelina Jolie and her long-term partner Brad Pitt - whose relationship is rumored to be going through a rocky patch - are reportedly planning to travel to the African country to find a fourth disadvantaged child they can give a home to. The couple - who are already adoptive parents to six-year-old Cambodian boy Maddox, Vietnamese son Pax Thien, three, and two-year-old Zahara, who was born in Ethiopia - believe another baby will strengthen their relationship and help Zahara feel more secure within the family. A source close to the couple - who also have a 14-month-old biological daughter, Shiloh - told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "Brad and Angelina have made no secret of the fact they are keen to extend their rainbow family. "Angelina, in particular, feels very strongly that while Shiloh will grow up seeing the family resemblances between herself and her natural parents, and Maddox and Pax will have a connection through their birthplaces, Zahara has no such close-knit bond. Brad and Angelina hope that by finding a brother or sister for her, it will help Zahara feel more comfortable and happy in her own skin, and also bring them closer together."

Hid driving lights: You want to see while you drive, right?

2007-12-14T16:32:00.000-08:00

If you are anything like me, and you drive at night, and you worry about night vision, than you may want to check your bank account, and then check out hid driving lights. What are Hid driving lights you ask? Well...let me break it down for you, my homie (even though I don't know you). Xenon lights (which, coincidentally, are sometimes spelled "Zenon") are actually, literally, and chillingly, HID Lights. (I know, crazy, right?) But what does "HID" mean? Well, HID stands for "High Intensity Discharge Lighting, which is the newest dimension in lighting. I reckon that's a pretty cool thing in my book, I reckon, again. But, what do they do? They really brighten your path while driving down the road...which is always good if you are trying to drive. Usually, 10 times out of 10 (not 9), driving, and having good vision while you are doing it, is a good thing. Don't those lights sound great? Seriously, don't they? I am pretty sure I'm going to go out and check some out after I'm done writing this review. Heck, I think it's Christmas time for the whole family with these things. We all have cars; we all need HID lights. So check them out. Look at BuyAutoTruckAccessories.com. They sell Hella and Optilux HID Driving Lights all the time, man. And by the way, they are German Engineered. -The Man, Dog

Le Deux becomes Le Douche

2007-12-14T15:25:00.000-08:00

Because nothing says Christmas like the sound of a self-inking stamper ka-chunking the word "FILED" onto a criminal complaint accusing one of L.A.'s most high-profile nightlife impresarios of rape, we bring you this disturbing story: Last August, Skye-Anne Smith was an underage patron of local professional catfighting arena Les Deux. She claims Dolce Group co-owner Lonnie Moore, partner of Big Brother All-Stars winner Mike "Boogie" Malin, plied her with drinks, then led her to what she believed was the VIP area, but was actually a dimly lit "manager's lounge" equipped with a bed: A 19-year-old girl has filed a lawsuit against Les Deux nightclub, claiming she was plied with alcohol and then anally and vaginally raped by the owner.

Walking on late night

2007-12-14T15:23:00.000-08:00

They aren't done administering the defibrillator to the dead-eyed corpse of late-night TV just yet: Some are buzzing that "several hosts" plan on returning to the air by January 7, making life a little less egg-pelty for Ellen DeGeneres and Carson Daly. [Variety] · After next week, however, every scripted TV series shooting in LA will have officially gone dark, explaining the eerie, silent calm throughout the city, and the longer, sadder lines at the Coffee Bean. [Variety] · A new ceremony from The Academy of TV Arts & Sciences "will highlight and demonstrate the good things that TV does." The first lifetime achievement award goes to Fox Alternative Programming guru Mike Darnell, for his "tireless efforts in furthering the cause of people being hooked up to a lie detector and forced to answer whether or not they are still attracted to their spouse on national TV."

It was the gold of times, it was the gold of times

2007-12-13T21:23:00.002-08:00

I like gold!!! Remember that cheesy line, from that old Austin Power movie, or whatever? Yeah? You do? I'm very proud of ya. Well what if I told you that you could get some? Some gold I mean. Well, through MDC, or Monex Deposit Company, you can. You can purchase gold and/or other precious metals. And then what? Then, they will instantaneously deliver them personally, or even set you up with a spot for convenient and totally safe storage at an independent bank or depository. Sick! And might I add, they've been doing this for over 30 years don't cha know. They are professionals. They are the gold and precious metals investment leader, homie. Gold, as in investment, is available in two awesome forms: coin or ingot. What are they? Well, ingots are usually gold ingots of pure bullion cast that come in these easy sizes and shapes. And of course, you know coins pretty well (hopefully). Coins have a currency value...or they could also be actually defined as ingots. Now let's talk history. Buying gold has been recognized for centuries--and I mean centuries--as one of the best ways to preserve one's wealth and power of purchasing. Very good methods of doing this, might I add, dog. This goes back to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans...all the way up to more modern times. Do you trust old people? Do you trust really old, pretty much ancient, people? Well, good then. Man has been fascinated in all ages. Gold is pretty. It is magical to some, life changing to others. Well today, the gold bar lies in its proven beauty, and it's ability to diversify investments. It protects wealth and preserves one's purchasing power...like I said earlier...in case you missed it, dog. So listen...listen real closely: Monex Precious Metals has a huge, dedicated staff. It's a staff of hard asset pros. They want to serve your precious metals investment needs, questions and concerns. They are America's awesomest dealer. They have the most convenient market and competitive precious metals prices that you can get. Did you hear all that, junior? Good, Christopher Columbus. Next time take the sandwich out of your ear. Gold: it's what's for dinner. See ya'll later!

Walk this way

2007-12-13T21:23:00.001-08:00

Fans handle their annoyingly good division opponents in different ways. Some write funny songs. Some publish rants on youtube. Some file class-action RICO suits. As a Jets fan, Carl Mayer falls into the latter group. He just filed suit seeking $184M in damages from Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots for “deceiving customers”. As you remember, earlier this month Bill Belichick was fined $750,000 for illegally videotaping the Jets’ signals. Mr. Mayer and his attorney, Bruce Afran, are not as crazy as Jonathan Lee Riches–of Michael Vick fame–but this lawsuit is pretty crazy. This suit actually has method to its madness: The lawsuit maintained that because other teams found illegal videotaping by the defendants, Jets ticket holders should be compensated for all games played in Giants Stadium between the Jets and Patriots since Belichick became head coach in 2000. The two calculated that because customers paid $61.6 million to watch eight “fraudulent” games, they’re entitled to triple that amount — or $184.8 million — in compensation under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act and the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act. Both Mayer and Afran consider themselves to be public interest lawyers. As a member of the public, I hope they eventually increase their efforts on continuing to produce thoroughly entertaining headlines. If this suit ends successfully they should go after the San Diego Chargers and New Orleans Saints for producing so many fantasy busts this season.

The Cowboys suck

2007-12-13T21:21:00.000-08:00

I can’t help but notice all the buzz from Cowboys fans over being one of the few 4-0 teams in the league. Everyone is slurping Tony Romo’s amazing quickness, and TO’s athleticism and relative stability (give him time to complain, it’s only week 4). I find it amazing that nobody has noted their opponents. Not only haven’t they played anyone with a winning record, but everyone they beat absolutely sucks this year. Miami and St. Louis are 0-4, Chicago is 1-3, and the 1-2 Giants are playing the Eagles as I write this. That puts their opposing teams’ winning percentage at 0.154. Their next challenge is 1-3 Buffalo, and they don’t play a team with a winning record until they host the Patriots in week 6 (good luck with that). So hush the Superbowl talk. They might as well be playing Notre Dame. Just saying.

Hoteles (spanish for hotel!)

2007-12-04T14:11:00.000-08:00

You need a place to stay on the road? Tu quieres Hoteles? Sure, we all do! Right? And finding the correct hotel room for you, at the absolute best price, is usually an issue for a lot of travelers. It's what you need! Problem can be...searching. Searching for the right accommodations is not always an easy task if you prefer Spanish. Basically, if you are an immigrant into an English-speaking country (legal or illegal). Well, now, hotels.com (who, as a lot of folk know, is the expert in booking hotels on the internet and over the phone), is making it easier for travelers who are Spanish speaking. And what is it? How about hotels.com en espanol, man!? It's awesome! And they are completely dedicated to customer service, person. Their new site is designed to specifically (not superficially) meet the interests, needs, requests, questions and demands of individuals in the United States who are Spanish-speaking. It doesn't even matter if you are legal or illegal! It will work for you if you have internet! Of course, being a legal United States citizen is usually the better route to take. That way, you won't be deported, and you can drive! Pimply!

Rumer's into Willie Nelson? Nah, it's probably just an "ironic" t-shirt moment. Here's Rumer leaving the ERES swimwear shop on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills with her mom Demi Moore. Demi's looking like she had a hard day trying on skimpy swimsuits for her still impossibly hot body. Rumer's fully feeling her Miss Golden Globe spotlight and sporting a red Kabbalah leash, I mean bracelet. Demi, let your kids decide for themselves! It could be worse. It could be Xenu. God imagine that bunch rolling up on your church? The kids all up on themselves, Mom looking younger than them, and Ashton Kutcher in a white sweatsuit and talking loudly on a cellphone. I'd renounce my deity.

Nicole ruins her day

2007-12-04T13:13:00.000-08:00

Nicole Richie was spotted lunching in Beverly Hills on November 26 with famous sisters Paris and Nicky Hilton, causing quite the media frenzy over this It Girl trio. To snag these casual lunchtime looks, start with Nicole. Wearing a silk cami (like Gold Hawk's 2 Tone Basic Tunic in Grey) with black leggings (Hudson Jeans' Skinny Leg Knit in Black is similar), Nicole finished her look with a classic pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers and a beaded cross necklace. Paris was also in a cami mood, actually wearing Gold Hawk's 2 Tone Basic Cami in Bijou Blue (their Silk Georgette Tunic in Bijou Blue is another option) with big shades and blue tights, while Nicky opted for casual comfort in a black hoodie (check out Rails' comfortable and cozy Corado Pucker Hoodie Sweater in Black) with aviators and a patent leather bag. While these ladies who lunch were undoubtedly celebrating Nicole's ever-expanding belly, the one thing that they definitely weren't discussing was the sex of Nicole's unborn child. Of her childs sex, Nicole says, "We don't know - We're waiting to find out, which has been a lot harder on me than it has on Joel because I'm so nosy, I like to know everything."

In terms of cool kids...these TVs are searchable

2007-12-03T21:50:00.000-08:00

Have any interest in sony HDTV? Shopping? If you are and you are shopping for a flat screen TV that is in the condition of "new," then check Krillion for local production, location, and pricing! Their HDTV prices are continuing to drop, ya'll. It's going to continue as the market, as it is, continues to get better and hotter, and all of these TVs become available for people purchasing. So check it...$15.6 billion is the size of a market for awesome flat panel televisions. It's important that these retailers AND these manufacturers compete. They have to get a percentage of the sales of today's TV. They have to do this by reaching out to consumers with information that is completely better. But they have to also make sure that they reach out with that is influential. And where to consumers, or people who buy, look first? The Web. That's where. Research on the internet, is maybe the most important way for product information source for shoppers now. If they do it early in the process, way before they go to a store. Which they do. But...most of them don't purchase online after they do the research. It's just not prudent, apparently. Most flat panel buyers (a whopping 92%) make their absolute purchase in an actual store, made of brick and mortar (most likely). Most people don't get why though. Well, it's probably because TVs are a purchase that is usually need to be made in person, so the person can evaluate it and compare, side-by-side, other televisions. You need to ask more questions. Seriously, you do. And this, my friends, is precisely where Krillion.com steps up and does their job. Their comprehensive product, pricing, and location info, helps buyers find the exact TV they want...at the retailers nearest by. Their really sweet Localization Engine, is what gives local search results that provide the most accurate local shopping results that could be available on the internet for the consumers who are looking for products, that they want to buy, and the location. Cool! Krillion, February 2007 is when they became something that exists. Keep them going.

Guy Ritchie punched my shoe

2007-12-03T20:44:00.000-08:00

Briefly enticing the occasional director of hyperkinetic gangster flicks away from the time-consuming responsibility of making sure that his wife's orphan acquisitions aren't repossessed by any disillusioned biological family members while she's out shopping with the promise of some cocktails at the Sunset Marquis bar, the Sunday NY Times spent a fascinating "Night Out With" Madonna househusband Guy Ritchie, an encounter which began with Ritchie demonstrating his martial arts skills to an impressed reporter: GUY RITCHIE'S face was balloon red, as a muscular man with shoulders a refrigerator's width apart sat on top of him and pinned him to the floor.

Andy Cohen's Wild Adventure

2007-12-03T20:43:00.000-08:00

Revisiting Andy Cohen's blog on Friday, something we hadn't done for a while, kind of made us nostalgic for the guy, as no other blogging basic cable network executive really gives it to us straight the way Andy does. A return seemed in order, and today's post certainly doesn't disappoint: Andy on the 2 Girls 1 Cup internet phenomenon: "I can't and won't watch it." Andy on Guy Ritchie's night out with the NY Times: "[T]he writer catches up with a Singlet-Clad Guy at his wrassling class or wrestling meet or homoerotic night at group therapy or whatever it was." And finally, Andy on meeting Helen Mirren: "She was very nice and wearing a black suit." [Andy's Blog]

Defibrillator time?

2007-11-29T10:38:00.000-08:00

If you have health problem you may be in the market for a defibrillator. In other words, I'm talking about AllegroMedical.com. You heard of it? No? Well, it was founded in 1996. Which means it now serves absolutely more than 1 million customers. This also makes them one of the largest and MOST technologically advanced independently owned (online) retailers of life enhancing products in the U.S. You want to know more about their history before I proceed? That's fair. Well, they launched the first ecommerce site in medical equipment and home health care supplies. This was in 1998. They are a lot bigger now though. They also have mainstream products now, such as Exercise and Fitness Equipment, Nutritional Dietary Supplements, Maternity/Baby Supplies and Outdoor Gear. Isn't that fantastic? How much do they have to offer though? A lot! They have 55,000 products, but in under 50 categories...and hundreds of sub-categories! Shop by category, brand, or even condition!

Seriously, Linsay Lohan is awesome, dude!

2007-11-29T10:34:00.000-08:00

Whether we like it or not - most likely not - Lindsay Lohan is working on another album. Her third! And she’s got some interesting collaborators planned for her latest opus. According to her famewhoring father, the actress is hoping to hook up with 50 Cent on the record. “They’re talking about working together. Nothing’s firm yet, but they’re in talks,” he tells Life And Style. “They’ve actually known each other for a while, just from being in the business together and crossing paths at events.” If she is going to make another record, she should at least try and make it good! Having Fiddy on it? Not good. Lindz should stick to pure pop and dance. [Image via Buzz Foto.]

Home for the holidays

2007-11-29T10:23:00.000-08:00

Turns out that I'm going a little stir crazy at home now, thanks to my slow computer performance, probably because of spies. I'm sick of this hacker shit. Let me live, computer. Your performance is unorthodox, and bad. It is not allowing me to do my work, and get my life going in a positive direction. Damn it, computer, what is your problem!? I'm trying to work! I'm trying to work! I'm trying to work! But yet, my computer continues to sit here, and not work to it's full potential--in turn, causing me not to work to my full potential. It's unnerving to say the least. Fuck you, computer.

No country for no webloyalty

2007-11-29T10:09:00.000-08:00

There is webloyalty and then there is webloyalty. It is something awesome that generates new revenues for its clients. But how? By rewarding its customers who make purchases! And it totally prides itself on the impressive returns it gains for its totally awesome clients. Not to mention the absolutely unmatched service that they offer their awesome customers. Pretty cool stuff if you are into making money. And they've been around for a while. They were founded in 1999. And since then, they have become a leader in online marketing services companies. They provide customized programs to e-commerce, travel, and other fee-based businesses. They do this in a number of ways. They have a range of innovative products that really do help their clients increase their revenues. Not to mention the valuable benefits packages on top of this. They have over 2 million subscriber today and they all enjoy savings. This is probably because of their new model of customer-friendly subscription services. They have over 300 employees in their Norwalk, CT headquarters, and San Francisco offices. It's like the movie, they literally have that many people in their army. Good stuff. And their revenues have reached $143.9 million (in 2006). And by the way, that was 33 percent up from 2005! They have had 16 consecutive...that's CONSECUTIVE quarters of operating profitability. Combine that with a 37 percent compound annual growth rate over the past 3 years, and you've got a recipe for awesome, mister! Did I mention that they acquired General Atlantic LLC recently as well? What are they? A leading global private equity firm that provides capital for growth companies driven by information technology OR intellectual property. Since 1980 they have $10 billion, roughly, in capital under management, man! The firm has invested in over 150 companies, has current holdings in approximately 50 companies, including almost half based outside the United States, and is completely brilliant. If you aren't ready for webloyalty this holiday season, you dang well might as well not be ready for the holidays themselves.

Jordan a.k.a. Katie Price is also called K.P.

2007-11-29T08:13:00.000-08:00

Jordan a.k.a. Katie Price is desperate to get back to her pre-pregnancy shape because she wants to be a ‘yummy mummy’. The glamour model, who recently gave birth to daughter Princess Tiaamii, said that it’s important to look good, as most men tend to lose interest. “I want to get back into shape for me, not because people think I should. I want to be a yummy mummy, not a Molly mum,” News of the World quoted her, as saying. “When some women have kids they let themselves go - I call that a Molly mum. They don’t bother dressing up and forget about themselves. It’s important to look good because in some cases I think the man would lose interest and disappear,” she added. Man, yo.

Captain Kangaroo lives here no more

2007-11-29T08:11:00.000-08:00

Angelina Jolie’s head peers out from luminous, turquoise water in a dark cavern littered with decaying bodies and skeletons. She is moving slowly toward her prey. Trailing Jolie is a long, thin, twisting gold tail. “I love my tail,” Jolie laughs during an interview in Los Angeles recently. The water scene is the first time audiences of her new, ground-breaking digitally-enhanced live action film, Beowulf, see Jolie’s face. The other lead actors in Beowulf, Anthony Hopkins, Ray Winstone, John Malkovich and Robin Wright Penn, are not so easily recognisable, thanks to new generation motion capture technology Beowulf director Robert Zemeckis used to make the movie.

Tampa Lapband is an interesting surgery

2007-11-19T20:45:00.000-08:00

You considering Tampa lapband surgery? You may want to, if not. It would be a great idea. It really would, because if you are fat, you should consider this surgery. There is a rapidly expanding network of specialized surgical facilities, and it's called Journey Lite. Journey Lite is a highly skilled and experienced bariatric surgeons, and team of healthcare professionals. What do they do? They are dedicated to providing the safest and least invasive surgical weight-loss solution...not to mention the absolute most comprehensive support programs that you can find today, in present day! It's what I'm talking about! They are a great company, and they specialize in some stuff. What is it, you ask? Well, for starters, they specialize in Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding. Or, for short, LAGB...or, for short again, LAP-BAND® System procedure. But what is it? What do they do? Well, your surgeon simply inserts an inflatable, adjustable gastric band through small incisions in your body, and then simply positions the band around the upper part of your stomach! But what does this do? Well, do you want to lose weight...? Because that's what this does. It creates a small pouch in your stomach, and that passageway into the lower part. It will make you feel full of food..when you have actually eaten less...so you will lose weight...almost naturally! And the procedure offers a number of pros over different options. It is the least invasive weight-loss surgery available. It is adjustable and, if the need should arise, completely reversible. Isn't that awesome? I know--I thought so too. But, listen to the best part: This radical LAP-BAND doesn’t require cutting, stapling or rerouting of the stomach or intestines! None at all! So there is a lower risk with the surgery AND long term complications. And this can be done in a day, folks. The surgeons at Journey Lite are seriously some of the most experienced in the entire nation and their facilities are specially designed and equipped to meet the specific needs of the seriously, seriously overweight patient! You will be safe. The staff there will provide for you as a patient. You will get the care you need, in the safest environment. Check them out today. They are second to none. You want to lose weight? Consider it, man.

More like parasite

Parasite Hilton is heading to Toronto to star in a musical film called Repo! The Genetic Opera. I wish someone will repo what's left of her f-ing career. The six-week shoot begins September 10th in Toronto. The movie, based on a successful theatrical production by Terrance Zdunich and Darren Smith, is about an organ failure epidemic in 2056 that forces people to purchase genetically perfect body parts from Geneco, a biotech company committed to collecting regular payments. Remember when people had better lives? This is ridiculous. The media is pissing me off these days.

Silly women

2007-11-19T13:19:00.000-08:00

Nicole Richie will do time for her DUI arrest back in December and is currently in court right now to either plead guilty or no contest. According to the law she'll receive a minimum sentence of five days in jail. Keep in mind Paris Hilton was sentenced to 45 days and all she did was violate probation and drive on a suspended license. Nicole Richie was high and driving on the wrong side of a freeway. Which means if she gets the same judge she'll end up in a zoo or something. So silly! Silly billy silly!

2007-11-16T17:25:00.000-08:00

If you are interested in such information as Balance Transfer Cards, read on. You will be glad you did. Very glad. Have you heard about it? One of the Internet's absolute longest tenured sites for online credit card comparison is CreditCardSearchEngine.com. They are awesome. Do you know what they do? Why, they only allow consumers, business and students to do things like search, compare, and apply for all types of credit card offers. Oh, is that all, you say? And these searches include everything from low interest and reward card to cards for people with bad up to average credit. It's a pretty good service if you ask me--one that needs to be advertised and have it's word spread all over the internet! And they feature offers from U.S. Credit Card issuers (leading ones) such as J.P. Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank and leading brands Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover Card. Now if that isn't what I'm talking about, what is, folks? If you are looking to compare different credit cards on the internet, and find the best one that suits you, I don't know why you wouldn't go look at them today. I'm going to check them out right now, seriously. Everybody could use a good credit card, and they will help you find the right one! It's unbelievable, in a good way!

Meaner and meaner each time

2007-11-16T17:10:00.001-08:00

Wish I would have seen this game to really know why the hell this fight broke out. Did Isiah Thomas call on Mardy Collins to put a flagrant foul on J.R. Smith ala John Chaney? Whatever the case, the NBA sure didn’t need this…but it is fun to watch. I still haven’t figured out though why fights in hockey are accepted and fights in basketball aren’t. I guess it’s because in hockey, it’s supposed to be a physical game and everybody is wearing helmets and pads so it’s not as personal. When you fight playing basketball–you are really fighting, straight up. Commissioner David Stern is probably pissed. They definitely didn’t need this. But…you gotta admit, it’s publicity. Bad publicity? Maybe. But let’s be honest. Why else would you want to watch the New York Knicks (AKA a glorified And 1 Streetball team) if they weren’t fighting? They aren’t a good basketball team. Also, I think this fight shows that Carmelo Anthony hasn’t really “already made it.”

This video is cool.

2007-11-16T16:27:00.000-08:00

Now it isn’t too often that I can find my self raving about a video, but here it goes…..This video is cool. Is that raving? With all the crap that is out there it is always nice to find a gem like this. It’s not two lame ass friends lip syncing to a web cam. It’s not someone who you could care less about sharing their absurd opinions. It’s not some wanna be with no sense of humor trying to make a funny film. You may ask, “Then what is it doing on You Tube?” Anyone that knows anything about production and editing could tell you that this must have been quite an undertaking. But it was worth it. This is probably the most innovative stop motion film I have seen. The only thing that pisses me off about this video is that I didn’t make it. Your momma's on crack rock.

You ready to learn about some UNIX and Linux stuff?

2007-11-12T23:42:00.000-08:00

The coolest thing I know about is "sarbanes 404". Isn't it awesome? But what is it? I'll tell you...if you settle down. Symark Software is by far the leading provider of UNIX and Linux security administration solutions. And they have announced something new. You know what it is? Its PowerBroker and PowerPassword-User Management Edition (UME) access control solutions that will fully support the new HP Integrity servers that are running the HP-UX 11i v3 operating system. What does all that mean? Well...besides "awesome", I'm going to tell you: There were some security gaps in over 30 version of UNIX and Linux systems, but they have been addressed. By doing this, they have helped organizations safeguard proprietary information and comply with federal AND industry regulations! Here's the breakdown of that though... Symark’s PowerBroker and PowerPassword-UME identity management and access control solutions combine best-of-breed functionality with ease-of-use to limit access to information and systems based on predefined policies and privileges. If that is technologically cool and radical, I don't know what is. And the best part is that PowerBroker protects the root account from both external and internal enemies. The root account is the most targeted, usually, so, this is good. But, also, the UME allows IT managers to deploy, centrally, modify and delete individual UNIT and Linux user accounts. That sure makes it easy. Right, Sarge? Just listen to Michelle Weiss, vice president of marketing, Business Critical Systems, HP, when she says, “Security is a top priority for enterprise customers." Listen to her...because she manes it, folks. Want to know a little bit more about Symark? Well, they were founded in 1985. They are the leading provider of security administration solutions for heterogeneous IT environments. And, also, Symark PowerBroker® enables granular delegation of administrative privileges while restricting UNIX/Linux root account access. Pretty cool stuff, right? Wonderful!

A trampoline, and stuff

2007-11-12T23:12:00.001-08:00

Check out this backyard slamball accident. You pretty much have to watch this. This kid goes up for the dunk of his life. I’m talking Daryll Dawkins-style ya’ll…but check out what happens. It’s pretty insane…and he makes the dunk. Damn! Could that kid’s friends suck any worse? They just walk off laughing and leave him out there forever. “Somebody get someone”?? WTF? They probably just use this kid for his “totally sick” trampoline basketball hoop and then make fun of him when he’s not around. Then again…they are just kids. I wouldn’t know what to do either if my friend (let’s call him “Crazy Legs Johnson”) Crazy Legs Johnson went up for a “totally sick” dunk and almost went through the hoop and got stuck, hanging by his leg. I mean, let’s be honest. That’s some pretty retarded shit.

Peace to my people!

2007-11-12T23:11:00.000-08:00

List broker, anyone?

2007-11-12T19:05:00.002-08:00

You may need to check out a good list broker. If you want updates on ground breaking mailing list databases, then you need to contact Martin Worldwide. They are in Westlake Village, CA, and our awesome. They are one of the leaders in the direct marketing industry. In my opinion, they are the one though. They have built a reputation by offering innovative mailing list products for their clients, man! And what is one of those products that has done well, you ask? How about,ResponseCom™? What is it? It's a potent, proprietary (big words) blend of U.S Consumer databases and U.S. Response. What does it result in? How about a multi-dimensional database? How's that for ya? One that offers extreme versatility and over 100 demographic....and...psychographic selects! Really cool stuff. And this synthesis is really special. It is compiled and response data that has created an unparalleled, powerful database! And one that completely accurately identifies prospects with the most active, responsive, and impulsive buying history. Talk about useful! As a splendid result, their clients have experienced higher response rates, profitability, and new business opportunities! This is according to their manager! In actuality, they are literally one of the most successful and largest mailing list providers in the nation! They offer customized mailing lists, telemarketing lists, and fax lists. And they provide these to small business...all the way up to Fortune 1000 clients. But it doesn't come easy. They do this by utilizing over a decade of experience, knowledge, and database acquisition expertise! They possess a database of over 290 million consumers...14 million U.S. businesses. Oh yeah, and they are one of the only...one of the only major list providers that actually guarantee their data integrity in actual writing! So contact them today. You'll be glad you did.

The man at school?

2007-11-12T19:05:00.001-08:00

For kids in junior high school, this video is hilarious. About as hilarious as the fact that my junior high school would have been PMS if it was called a middle school instead of a junior high. Isn’t that hilarious? For the rest of the world, this is very amusing. It’s a funny idea and executed about as good as you can execute a video starring a guy who reminds me of Jack Black with his hair buzzed off. See? Am I right, or am I right. Happy Thanksgiving ya’ll. Frank Sinatra in a Time Machine is gonna travel back in time, to the original Thanksgiving supper. I bet the Pilgrims and Indians are going to be really friendly, all sitting at one table, just like it’s portrayed in elementary school textbooks everywhere. The old chairman of the boards is about to be a wearin’ a black hat and buckled shoes. It will be my best show to date. Even better than The Main Event. Come fly with me!

Stiffler's pie

2007-11-12T19:04:00.000-08:00

As Stiffler said, “It’s like warm apple pie.” Apparently these guys think, “It’s like cold turkey.” In my search for Thanksgiving videos I found these clowns. They grunt like cavemen, but there is an english word or two in there. What they are doing isn’t that funny, yet they are laughing like giddy little girls. Let’s see if we can figure out why they find it so funny. Humor lacking situation + guys laughing like giddy girls + humping turkey ——————- = marijuana. I learned that on CSI. What scares me the most about this is that it really made me think. In this sick world we live in, there is someone somewhere that has actually used a turkey in this way. It may have been these guys. It may have been your neighbor. It may be your teenage brother tonight. So have a Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow. And enjoy your brother’s stuffing.

Looking to get recruited?

2007-11-12T18:49:00.000-08:00

I'm one of those rare people who like risk management jobs. Call it what you will, but there's something about these jobs that just gets in my DNA and sticks there. And since 1967, A.E. Feldman Associates, Inc. has maintained a high standard of service and commitment in the field of recruiting. So check them out. They have a reputation and a discretion and a consistent record of successful placements that hav ehelped them build strong and trusted relationships. And these relationships are with clients who are industry-leading...but also top-quality. So it really benefits both the employer and the employee. Their recruiters all had fruitful careers in industries that they represent, so they bring in depth experience, knowledge, skill and insight to their job of recruiting. Not to mention that their contacts and feel for their designated field, helpes them to make the best match possible, and best fit for each and every, single job! Cool! They represent some different areas: financial and risk management services, legal and legal support services, communications and technology, human resources consulting, and luxury products. But it goes deeper...because inside of those fields, they fill positions from middle, all the way up to executive, all the way up to top “C level” management…and they do this nationally. And it's from associates to partners...and even, from analysts to managing directors! So if that's not cool, and noteworthy, I don't know what is. Check them today.

Friends in places

2007-11-12T18:48:00.000-08:00

From the good folks at “Nobody’s Watching,” here is a “skit” representing the entire Friends series in 90 seconds. It’s not really that funny, but it is pretty well done, for something that is meant to look like it was created by a few high school students after school in tech lab, even though it really has major corporation bucks behind it. It’s hard to believe that these two guys moved to LA from Michigan and got their own internet show…or something. It’s also hard to believe that they were on a failed sitcom, about making a sitcom, a few years ago, that was dead, and then turned into this YouTube “series.” I’ve seen better from these guys, but then again, maybe if I actually watched the show Friends, just once, it would have helped. I could never get into it. I always felt like watching it was making me into a girl. I strongly believe that real men watched Seinfeld. I especially liked that Kramer guy. He was so hilarious. I wonder what he is up to these days…

Whose afraid of the big bad wolf?

2007-11-12T18:46:00.000-08:00

Boy, the folks at National Lampoon’s just don’t know when to start! Hey-yo! But cerealy folks, here is a “lost episode” of Seinfeld. In it, Kramer acts really racist in his stand-up comedy routine. Then he says “monkey,” and then he hangs out with a lot of black people. He is mostly friendly with the black people. See? Now I gotta admit, pretty clever stuff. Especially for an institution like National Lampoon’s, who is about to release a movie about the Indian guy from Van Wilder. The movie actually looks funny–but I guarantee it’s a pothead rental for most folks. Hoo-ah! Oh yeah…also…Kramer is racist in this video.

Weird Zoro guy

2007-11-12T18:27:00.001-08:00

You partying? I don’t know where to begin or to end on this one. It sucks……and then it sucks. This guy makes a crack at being funny by being that wacky guy with a mask and a towel. Wacky works….when there is humor laced within it. He reminds me of an Armenian comedian that has no outlet except the internet. Or maybe a poor man’s schizoprhenic Zoro. Good thing for the subtitles. It is hard to understand at some points. But with the subtitles you can be sure that what you are hearing lame. Did he just say french ants? Yep.

Male Menstrual Cramps?

2007-11-12T18:25:00.000-08:00

Here is a video that has a funny concept, is “amusing” enough, but is highly overrated by being featured on the front page of YouTube, just because of it’s “production value.” And yes, I get all the jokes in it, “Sachmo,” whatever you throw at me, I got it. Because after all, I am Frank Sinatra in a Time Machine. You don’t get that title by sitting on your ass, eating Ben & Jerry’s ice cream instead of traveling through time & space in some sort of continium or something. Boo-yah! This video was worth watching once, and that’s about it. I guess that is pretty much a common theme on YouTube though.

The new Bono?

2007-11-12T16:49:00.000-08:00

Whoever made this has way too much time on their hands but hey, you gotta respect it. Pretty crazy idea and execution with this video and it works. Pretty awesome if you ask me. The creator is probably trying to make a political statement about the war, but on the contrary, this video pumped me up. They should play it at the next Republican Convention. Hooah! Thanks to Shawn for the tip on this video. Definitely worth watching. And to think…you could watch this video 6 times and it would be the same amount of time as watching the pathetic “YouTube: The Movie” once. Think about that when you are voting in 2008. I don’t know why, but it would be funny if you actually did as you were punching chads.

Weird Al Yankovic is back!

2007-11-12T16:48:00.000-08:00

Seriously folks, we were about to make a screename called “WeirdAlYankovicFlashback,” Hey-yo! That kind of made sense. But now, after the release of his parody of Chamillionaire’s “Ridin’ Dirty,” called “White and Nerdy.” For a 60-year old man, it’s not bad. Weird Al is 60? Yeah, he is. It’s crazy. But not as crazy as the fact that we are about to go drive down Crenshaw Blvd. tonight at midnight, wearing red & blue doo rags and bumping this song. Now that’s just nuts!!! I mean crazy. And awesome. Check it!

Iron Condor is what is on my mind...

2007-11-12T16:43:00.000-08:00

For some strange reason, all day, all I've been wondering about is iron condor. What is it though? Um...it is called PowerOptions.

The View

2007-11-12T16:42:00.000-08:00

Watchers of The View were treated to a phone call from Elisabeth Hasselbeck, whose ever-fertile, neocon-replicating loins produced a healthy baby boy over the weekend: Taylor Thomas Hasselbeck--mom was a huge Home Improvement fan--is surely meant for great things, possessing both his father's athletic grace and his mother's superhuman ability to withstand fire-breathing co-hosts while still managing to squeeze in some point about how Iraqi women raped by international soldiers have no right to abortions. That's pretty cool if you ask me. I'm gonna go drink more now.

Good news for you

2007-11-12T16:37:00.000-08:00

Even though the WGA strike might wipe out a significant portion of this so-far underwhelming Fall season, there's still some good news for TV: most shows have produced enough episodes that the Academy may not have to cancel the Emmys, an awards show that rivals the average picket line in thrills-per-minute even in years when it's not hampered by labor strife. [Variety] · E! further fortifies its lineup of strike-proof programming by picking up a second season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, a show they can easily spin off into separate series following each member of the Hollywood's bustiest, semifamous family should the need for even more mindless schedule-filler arise. [THR]

Can I trouble ya for a minute? It's for stocks.

2007-11-12T16:20:00.000-08:00

These days, I’m very interested in good options trading software. I know, weird, right? What is it though? Well…it’s called PowerOptions. It includes a complete suite of educational materials and premium toll-free customer support. It has that. But, also, it provides you with the essential date that you NEED to invest in stock options, and know what you are doing. That’s pretty much what I’m talking about. How do they do it though?

The new cool

Star has learned exclusively that the Amazing Race winner sent a letter to Lance's rep on October 25 that threatened to sue the pop singer, claiming his remarks in the November issue of GQ were defamatory. In the interview, the ex 'NSYNC-er claims Reichen cheated on him, adding: "I thought, 'Why does everyone hate him?' At the end, I was like, 'Ok, everyone was right.'" These comments angered Reichen so much that the actor's attorney allegedly wrote to Lance's rep, saying "demand is made that Mr. Bass immediately cease and desist commenting on our client. In the event that Mr. Bass declines ... you are advised that we expressly reserve the right to address the circumstances in the appropriate forum in the appropriate time."

Here is your numismatics homework

2007-11-11T22:35:00.001-08:00

Get ready to study numismatics. It's a new subject. You've heard of the Monex family of companies, right? Well Monaco Rare Coin is part of that. Who is Monex? They are a trusted leader of precious metal investments...and that's for nearly 40 years! They have...oh...just helped tens of thousands of investors like yourself invest in over $25 billion in hard asset investments. And this includes rare coins. And what are rare? Gold, silver and platinum bullion, and bullion coins, man. (And other precious metals investments for ya.) It's pretty intriguing if you ask me, and you are reading me, so I'm assuming you are asking me too. They offer a unique, vast, impressive array of resources--for investors AND collector. That's pretty key. They like both types of coin admirers. And you can find...make that, you will find, the finest rare coins available. There will be an experiences and knowledgeable cadre of professionals that are ready, and more than willing to serve you, and your needs. There is a broad range of investment programs too. And their products will fit most any budget. That's almost any budget. So, through them, you will awesomely have immediate access to investment-grade coins, and a wide range of them. And these are valued in excess of $10,000,000! (You can get others on short notice too.) What can you rely on? There (menaing Monaco's) two-way buy-and-sell market for RARE coins and precious metals. Cool! They are involved in all the different markets too: the wholesale market, the collector market, the international market and auctions! They help you find the best at the best rate. If you are smart, like me, dealing with a rare coin expert makes sense. As a collector or investor, you should strive to have every advantage available to you in order to get rich. These coin experts can help you find opportunities you dont' know about, and help avoid possible market pitfalls! It's a unique blend of expertise, experience and financial muscle, that few rare coin companies can replicate. They have a connection to a worldwide network of resources that keeps them in constant touch with rare coin market trends and developments! Gnarly in a good way! But, did I mention that their advisors are members of the Professional Numismatic Guild? No? Dern. I should have. What's it called? Oh, just the American Numismatic Association. What are they? Oh, just a Professional Coin Grading Service. What are two other associations they have? Oh, just Numismatic Guarantee Corporation of America and The National Silver Dollar Round Table..and numerous other numismatic trade organizations. That's 2+? My bad. It's not easy for just anyone to build a world class rare coin portfolio, in a cost-efficient way, but they can. It takes a dealer with this: vast resources, broad-based experience and an unending commitment to providing the utmost in service to the customer, to make it happen. It takes awesome experts like Monaco Rare Coin. Monaco stands behind its recommendations, market information, quality selection and service. If you don't believe them, ask them again, dog. And ask them for a free trial subscription to “The Rare Coin Insider” while you're at it.

Spice Girls are here

2007-11-11T22:33:00.000-08:00

The super-thin Spice Girl - who will star as herself in the special episode of the hit comedy about a glossy fashion magazine - will shock audiences by turning up to the on screen wedding in a fat suit, pretending to have gorged on calorific treats since her move to America. An insider at the ABC network said: "Everybody at the wedding will be expecting skinny beautiful Posh to show up. "But they'll be horrified to see she's piled on the pounds because of major comfort eating and American junk food." The 33-year-old singer - who recently moved to Los Angeles with husband David Beckham and their three sons after he signed a multi-million dollar contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team - admitted she was not invited to appear on the show for her acting prowess. She said: "I'll be playing myself. And I'll get to wear a fabulous outfit, so I won't be acting."
