What Passes As News…

Seems “Posh” Spice sleeps in the nude…Yup…This is what passes as news these days folks…

She explains that she is married to David Beckham and “you do not sleep with David Beckham…I'm going to be naked if I'm getting in bed with him every night”.

This groundbreaking piece of news can be found in the current issue of Elle Magazine…

OH and one other thing…"I'm so camp! I'm such a gay man trying to get out," she says. "I don't give a (bleep) what anybody thinks."

We think you should just shut up and strut around like the nothing you are...

Hey, it is not just us that thinks that, just read what else she says...
"It became very obvious from the start that I was never going to be the best singer or the best dancer or the best actress," she says. "You know, I've never been that good at anything, to be completely honest."

We feel sorry for Beck's...if she is not good at ...well... ummm... well... even if she does sleep naked...if she is not good at...

OK, moving on....

The World Is Going To Hell In A Handbasket…

It was reported that the number of Brittney Spears-related items sold at eBay, the online auction site totaled 34,345, compared with 27,377 items associated with Paris Hilton.

Items associated with Spears ranged from signed CDs to disposable lighters featuring her likeness.

Among the Hilton-related items sold: a toothbrush claimed to have been found in the hotel heiress' trash. “Hey Beavis, let’s go dumpster diving for eBay stuff tonight after everyone is asleep”.

The toothbrush was probably used by one of Paris’ maids to clean the grout around her bathtub, but someone living in a place like Utah is now using it to polish their pearly whites and humming the tune to Paris’ song “Stars Are Blind”…
OK, we added the last two lines... but...

Fragrances were the most popular product category sold for Spears and Hilton.

Spears is about to release her newest scent “Eau de Trailer”, which is slated to be sold only in Exxon Gas Station Convenience stores.

Poor Lindsay Lohan. She did not have a good year. Her name was only associated with 8,099 items sold, according to eBay.

When asked to comment Lindsay responded “Well dat am fine, I won da award as the ‘Dumbest Celebrity’ and dey ain’t even made da list, so…."

At that point Ms. Lohan’s PR person threw a burlap bag over her head, and tossed her into the backseat of a 1987 Honda Accord (hey, she has not worked much this year!) and whisked away.

It seems, Ms. Lohan topped a list The New York Daily News published, judging stars based on their IQs, poor fashion choices and bad judgment.

And Lohan, who spent time in rehab and jail this year, was dishonored with the top spot for her "poor movie choices, delinquent behavior and bad taste in men."

The top five on the Daily News' Dumbest People in Hollywood list are:

1. Lindsay Lohan

2. Kim Kardashian (socialite – daughter of the guy who helped OJ get away with murder)

3. Spencer Pratt (star of “The Hills” – if someone knows what the hell this is, let us know)

4. Jeff Kwatinetz (the man behind Britney Spears' disastrous MTV Video Music Awards performance)

5. Shia LaBeouf (star of “Transformers"….OOOO I wish I had THAT on my resume!)

However, the three tabloid staples were all out-slugged by Barry Bonds, who was associated with 145,497 related items, including a grilled-cheese sandwich, which netted a winning bid of $30.

The seller claimed Bonds' 756th home-run ball bounced off the sandwich in San Francisco's AT&T Park.

Katherine…was it THAT important to have the sandwich? hehe

Horrible Horrible in Omaha yesterday...we send our sympathy to those who lost loved ones to the hands of a person who was obviously not sane...

OK OK OK...we almost put up another post saying we were too tired to do a post, but then Anndi would be bored and Songbird would never speak to us again and Julie would get in her truck and come pound us, and Mimi would throw us in her dungeon and Roger...well Roger would turn Oger loose on us....

hehehehehe

We still have not had time to visit any of you and for that we are truly sorry...we are just getting swamped at work as the New Year is rapidly approaching and we are beginning to get the new creative executions in shape...

Then this past weekend, we had another kidney stone attack on Saturday. Luckily, we had some pain meds which allowed us to sleep most of the day. We had a visit from our special friend who arrived with dinner totally prepared. Yummy pork chops and a wonderful baked yam with crisp green beans and Texas toast.

We did not eat a lot, but it was just what we needed...OH, did we mention some yummy Cove chocolates for dessert? JUST what the doctor ordered. The TLC was so welcome...

We felt pretty good on Sunday and were able to joining our three new friends in the purchase and decorating of their Christmas tree and we were even asked to string the lights for them.

The kidney stones are causing some complications and we will be having a CAT scan on Thursday to ensure that there are no more of the little suckers floating around.

All of these things combined have resulted in our being absent recently...but we vow to get back into the swing of blogging again and being a good visitor....


Had a fun time on the Radio Happy Hour again last night and we have the coolest chat room in all of BlogTalk Radio...if you have not joined us, you should mark your calendar for Tuesday evenings at 9:00 pm Eastern Time...


Our fantasy football team now has the best record in our league, we are guarenteed a spot in the playoffs and, if we can get a win next week will get the top spot and a bye week going into the playoffs...this from the team that ended up in last place last season...

A nice turn-around...

Incredible...the man charged with pulling the trigger in the Sean Taylor case is only 17! What happens to a young man to put a gun in his hand at 17 and turns him into a killer? This just stuns us and we are saddened that these things happens...


OK, it is very late, almost midnight here in Memphis and we need some sleep...

Our good friend Anndi giggled at the title of the album last week when we posted LITTLE FEAT'S "Fat Man In The Bathtub", so we decided to post the title track tonight....

This is "Dixie Chicken"

A hot song by a great group...

The song was written on Crosby's boat in Florida. Crosby wrote the music, and Stills and Kantner wrote most of the lyrics.

Kantner could not be credited on the original release of Crosby, Stills & Nash due to legal issues, but he is credited on the 2006 re-release. The song was also released by Jefferson Airplane the same year on the album Volunteers. Both versions are considered to be original versions of the song, although they differ slightly in wording and melody.

Crosby recorded a solo demo in March 1968, with the melody but no lyrics at this stage. Stills recorded his own demo the following month with most of the lyrics now in place.

Wooden Ships was written at the height of the Vietnam War, a time of great tension between the United States and the Soviet Union. It was one of the few songs of that era that openly dealt with the ever-present fears of an apocalyptic nuclear war (preceded by Tom Lehrer's "We Will All Go Together When We Go", and "Eve of Destruction", sung by Barry McGuire).

The song depicts the horrors confronting the survivors of a nuclear holocaust, where presumably two sides have virtually annihilated each other (and everyone else). One man from each side stumbles upon the other, and they reflect on the pointlessness of the conflict.
