Super Bowl XLI is this coming Sunday, February 4th, 2007. I don’t care about the game. I don’t know anything about the teams that are in it (the Colts and the Bears). But I enjoy the commercials, and am really looking forward to them this year. Here’s a little taste of what got me so excited, Kevin Federline style: You can find official Super Bowl XLI news and information HERE Fun facts about Nationwide: The last 80 years Nationwide® has...  Read More »

I’m so excited about this bit of news. The Recording Academy has announced that The Police will perform together at the Grammys this year – 23 years after breaking up due to conflict within the band. Best known for hits like “Roxanne” and “Every Breath You Take,” The Police are Grammy winners themselves, five times over. They last performed together when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in 2003. The band, made up of singer/songwriter...  Read More »

Last night was the 13th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. Nothing too exciting this year; in fact, I found the end to be fairly anti-climatic with Annette Benning simply saying, “Goodnight.” The two things that made my jaw drop the most were when Eddie Murphy thanked Tracey Edmonds for, “making everything right,” when accepting the award for supporting actor for Dreamgirls, and when Chandra Wilson of Grey’s Anatomy referred to Isiah Washington as...  Read More »

When the drinkers got out of hand, the bartender would shout, “Mind your pints and quarts and settle down!” *4,000 years ago in Babylon, it was a custom for a bride’s father...  Read More »

UPDATE: Winning speeches were selected on February 22, 2007. …so many worthy entries that picking just one winner seemed as churlish as Judi Dench’s role in Notes on a Scandal. So the staff at NPR.org picked five winners, along with a few runners-up, and recorded them reading their entries. … winners captured the spirit of the nominees’ characters, if not always their accents. The speeches were limited to 200 words, about the length of an Oscar...  Read More »

This has to be the funniest “pot calling the kettle black”* story I’ve seen in a while. According to MSNBC, Star Magazine is reporting that Kevin Federline wants Britney Spears to go to rehab – for the sake of the kids. Uhhhh……..where does K-Fed get off telling Britney to shape up? Let’s ponder the ridiculousness of that for a moment. In the magazine’s report, Kevin Federline states that he has tried “every possible angle” to get Britney...  Read More »

My dear friend Nora is a bit of a hero. She is full of passion and compassion, determination and drive, spirit and soul. She does things that most of us probably could, and would, never do ourselves. She is in love with a great guy and they have an awesome daughter. Which makes sense since Nora totally kicks ass. And now, you too can get to know this wonderful human. View her photos and read her blogs as she travels through war-torn Palestine. Twice a year,...  Read More »
