Enjoy your Memorial Day!

I have found a great website to help with your weekend plans....grillin' ideas, travel games for the kids if you're taking a trip, Camcorders and Digital Camera's and kits for hitting the beach!! Enjoy your weekend and remember to take the time to thank our Veterans and active duty Military Personnel for their sacrifices!!

New Movies to see this weekend!

"Sex in the City 2" - from what I hear, not worth it and "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" - that one received 3 stars and Jake Gyllenhaal (Dang, look at his eyes!)! I am looking forward to "Marmaduke", "The Karate Kid" and "Toy Story 3" - oh, and "The Killers" with Ashton Kutcher looks great as well!!

Edible Clothing - Really!!

Would you carry a Beef Jerkey Purse or wear a Cream Puff Dress?? Check out these bizarre edible clothing items....the Burger Tennis Shoe is the weirdest for sure!!

0 Calorie Chocolate??

I have found it!! Just hit the pump when you are craving your favorite sweet treat....a blast of 0 calorie chocolate!! The hero to thank is David Edwards, a Harvard biomedical engineer!! The product is called "LeWhif" (strange!) and it comes in 3 wonderful flavors, chocolate, raspberry chocolate and mint chocolate!! Check it out here!

Disappointment!!

Lee is our American Idol??!! I am sorry, but I am a huge Crystal fan...she has the talent, stage presence and more of an Idol feel to her than Lee, but America voted and chose their Idol!! What a show with the Bee Gee's, Joe Cocker, Janet Jackson, Hall & Oats, Brett Michaels and even Alice Cooper!! The Simon bashing was fun, but this year was a disappointment to me. What are your thoughts?

The Dutchess wants to Dance?!

Now, she just got in trouble for trying to sell access to her ex-husband, the Prince and now she wants to be a contestant on Dancing with the Stars?? Hmm, could it be just another avenue to get some cash in her pocket. Watch the video here!

Man infects himself with a 'computer virus'?

The virus, infecting a chip implanted in Gasson's hand, passed into a laboratory computer. From there, the infection could have spread into other computer chips found in building access cards.

All this was intentional, in an experiment to see how simple radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips like those used for tracking animals can host and spread technological diseases.

The main problem is that everytime he sneezes, he reboots himself....ok, kidding :)

The Hair of the Dog!!

Why clog up that vaccuum cleaner when you can recycle your dogs hair...yea, why not make little Suzie a sweather from Fido's fur!? Check out this video...interesting!

Who will be the next American Idol??

Ok, Crystal stole the show last night and proved to me she is in this competition to win it!! Lee did Ok, but there was no passion and the song choices for me were lame....who is your pick?? Tonight Simon will say good-bye, Carrie Underwood, Christina Aguilera and others will perform and there is a rumor that Paula Abdul will appear in a tribute to Simon!!
She's been the favorite since the first week of this competition, but nothing's certain until it's certain. After some of the finest performances in franchise history, Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger and her partner Derek Hough have won the mirror ball trophy. As much as I loved Evan Lysacek and Erin Andrews's performances, the result just felt right. Nicole and Derek are both fabulous performers and Derek is probably the most innovative of the show's professional dancers. This is his second championship. The first win was with Brooke Burke, who now cohosts the show. This time around, Derek may have suffered some hearing loss in his right ear, because Nicole was so excited that she screamed at the top of her lungs for a good 40 seconds after the results were announced.

Biggest Loser!

Who would have thought that having the title "Biggest Loser" would be so great, but what an accomplishment for the contestants!! The final weigh-in is complete and Season 9's winner is a Dee Jay from Chicago, Michael Ventrella. He is 31 and went from 526 lbs to 262 in just 6 months!! He lost 264 pounds!!! Good for him! Read more and learn about his inspiration here!

May Recalls!!

Here is a website listing recalls that came out this month, including children's toys, furniture, bedding, over-the-counter meds, even kids clothes, food and small appliances!! Check it out here!

Naughty Fergie!

"I very deeply regret the situation and the embarrassment caused," she said in a statement issued by her spokeswoman, Kate Waddington. "It is true that my financial situation is under stress however, that is no excuse for a serious lapse in judgement and I am very sorry that this has happened. I can confirm that The Duke of York was not aware or involved in any of the discussions that occurred. I am sincerely sorry for my actions."

Acknowledging financial difficulties, Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson on Sunday apologized after she was secretly recorded offering to sell access to her ex-husband Prince Andrew in return for 500,000 pounds ($720,000).

13 years old and Mt. Everest is off his Bucket List!

Bye, Bye Casey!

Did you catch the show last night on FOX? They did a lot of chatting with the Top 3 Contestants....show some fun video of them going back to their hometown and of course we were entertained by sweet, young Justin Bieber. He has a beautiful voice... and boy, did the girls squeel :) Check it out here!

These are funny!!

Do you have any awkward family pictures from your childhood?? I think we all do! These are priceless and I found a great video that will give ya a giggle today...check it out!

Plug it with Golf Balls?

BP is going to plug the leak with golf balls!! That's what they are saying!! Not only golf balls but also shredded tires knotted rope. This is very interesting...they put all this 'junk' where the leak is and the golf balls fill in the spots in between the ropes and tires. They are very, very sturdy and can withstand 2000 lbs of pressure from a golf club, so they are the perfect choice for the oil leak! Learn more here!

Is it time for Casey to go home??

Lee and Crystal were fab last night on Idol. Casey did nothing for me at all with the songs he sang. Each contestant picked a song and then a judge picked one for them and I think Simon chose the best for Lee with Hallelujah - wow, very cool version and it really cemented him as one of the top 2...we shall see tonight as one of them will go home. My pick is Crystal and Lee competing for the title of American Idol...oh yes, Justin Bieber will be on the show tonight....oh, as the girls squeel!!

The 'comeback' kid is gone.

This week's elimination wasn't too much of a surprise, but it was still hard to see comeback kid Chad Ochocinco take the floor for the last time. He gave some truly memorable performances this season, and none better than his soulful waltz earlier this week. In fact, Len said that in a "normal" season Chad would have been headed to the finals.

Show your talent with Toast!!

Check out this talented artist...he uses Toast. He used to entertain his daughter at breakfast with slices of bread, so thought, hey, I can use it to create art!! He did, check some other creations here!

Breakfast on the "fly"?!

Oh man, this poor news correspondent!! These are the things that can happen when you do live TV!! A good size bug became a snack whether he wanted it to or not!! Watch the video here!

American Idol Star Experience!

It's a new game coming and you can be one of the first to try it and then watch it on Facebook! Tonight the Top 3 will sing for their life...who will be the Next American Idol?

It's the Semi-Finals for Dancin' with the Stars!!

Welcome to the semifinals! This week's show is bound to go down in franchise history: seven out of eight routines were absolutely jaw-dropping (and the odd one out did involve quite the gun show). Chad, Erin and Evan each had their best night ever and Nicole, well, she did just as well as she did last week. The judges handed out two perfect 30s and four 29s, so it's anyone's guess which amazing routine they'll choose for the encore. Holy smokes...what will happen tonight??

"Quit Facebook Day!"

When is it?? What and why? May 31st is Quit Facebook Day because a group of users is sick of all the privacy changes being implemented by the social network. So far 2700 are planning on making the move and out of 400 million, that will not even make a dent. So if you are "sick of the lack of respect for your data", join the group here!

Bye Bye Big Mike

American Idol is now down to 3. I missed the show last night and am bummed as Bon Jovi and Daughtry both performed. Big Mike was sent home after quite the roller coaster ride on Idol. He found himself in the bottom 3 multiple times but was so darn likeable and had such a great, loveable personality, that voters kept him on...until last night! Read more here.

Texting, is it good if you're dating??

Boy, how does it affect a relationship? Here are some great points that I never thought of, but my husband and I have been married for 18 years and texting has just recently become part of our ways of communication. For new/young relationships, it could be a bad thing...check it out here!

Idol - duets ruled last night!

I really liked Lee and Crystal's duet....I did NOT like Lee's solo performance at all and Mike's would have been on the bottom of the list as well. Bowersox rox of course :) Who will go home tonight? Well, Bon Jovi and Daughtry will be performing, so who cares, I will just tune in to look at Jon!! Ha!!

Who went home on Dancin' last night?

Niecy and her jiggly parts went home last night on Dancin' with the Stars! She certainly wasn't the best dancer on the show but was the most improved over the course of the season. I would think she is the funniest contestant as well. Read more here!

Have you ever Toe Wrestled??

Yes, they are serious....well, about their beer for sure and toe wrestling too!! Have you ever tried or seen anything quite like this?? Watch this video!
