Inception Movie Reviews
via mahalo.com One of the (many) things I’ve missed writing about the most over the past year or so - movie reviews. I’m a terrible critic - no way I can tell you specifically why I loved or didn’t love a movie without going on and on and ON about crap you don’t care about. However, I love to write about what real movie critics have to say about...

K Cup Coupons
via mahalo.com So. I’m a coffee addict. Not like the cup by cup - more like open mouth, pour in entire pot kinda gal. I’m seriously wondering if I’d like this whole Keurig/K Cups thing. I did some research and obviously coupons for K Cups are IN HIGH demand, so the system isn’t cheap. I just can’t help but wonder whether brewing cup by cup...

Austin Plane Crash Pilot Joseph Andrew Stack and...
via mahalo.com It seems the pilot who crashed his small plane into an IRS building in Austin, Texas, today left behind a disturbing (understatement) “manifesto” detailing his grievances with rants against everyone from the IRS to the Catholic Church and beyond. Interesting to read editorials already on this, with the left screaming that the guy was a dangerous Tea Bagger filled...

How to Make Rice Krispie Treats
via mahalo.com So. I’m not known for my outstanding cooking skills - I feel the need to admit this off the bat here. However, for some reason around the holidays I begin to believe I can actually pull a few recipes off. Sometimes this works - most of the time, it doesn’t. I blame Rice Krispies. Years ago, I began making Rice Krispies Treats with my mom - just...

A wholllllllle bunch of shows at the Wynn in Las Vegas, in fact. A standing engagement, open-ended. The shows begin on December 11, 2009, and will be weekends-only. Acoustic. Should be fantastic and this is a HUGE deal for Garth fans. Tickets to...
Stephanie Birkitt
via mahalo.com Okay I’ll confess I heart a damn fine scandal, and Stephanie Birkitt’s smack in the middle of a real doozy. Short version: Birkitt was Letterman’s intern, they supposedly played footsie for a while, she took up with the guy that’s now accused of blackmailing Letterman for $2 million. Supposedly (again w/the supposedly) Birkitt kept a diary and...

Debtor's Revolt
via mahalo.com Do you know Ann Minch? If not, you might want to learn a bit more about her. She’s one of those spearheading a new so-called “Debtor’s Revolt” by those who have had enough with credit card company antics (if you don’t know what I mean by this, count your blessings - twice!). This story does seem to have real legs…can only hope that the CC...

Oprah Mytouch 3G
Oprah Winfrey is the latest celebrity to endorse the MyTouch 3G cell phone. The talk show maven is offering $100 off the MyTouch with a special KICKOFF24 promo code. via mahalo.com Well there you go - the rumors were indeed true! $100 off the MyTouch 3G is what? HALF OFF? Good grief people. Oprah drives me nuts at times too but this is a KILLER DEAL. I believe the promo code is good...
Blount Punch Video
via mahalo.com If you have not yet seen the video of Oregon RB sucker-punching Boise State’s Byron Hoyt, you need to see it. Then you will understand why I hope to HELL this punk is not just suspended, but kicked off the Ducks team entirely. There is absolutely NO JUSTIFICATION for what he did - and keep watching, he appears to go after fans in the stands too. This is...

Rebecca Sue Harvey
In August of 2009, Arkansas school librarian Rebecca Sue Harvey was charged with sexual assault - authorities say she is accused of having sex with a student. via mahalo.com Here we go again. I had hoped, really hoped we could get through at least the first part of the week without a pervy teacher story. Apparently not. Posted via web from puertoricanjane’s...
thirtysomething DVD
The Emmy Award-winning television drama thirtysomething ran for four seasons on ABC, beginning in 1987. On August 25, 2009, the first season of the show was released on DVD. via mahalo.com And there was SO much rejoicing. Serioiusly look people - this was MY favorite show from the late 80s and that was when I was NOT 30-something. I’ve been waiting for more than a decade for this show...
Lizzi Miller
Plus-sized model Lizzi Miller was photographed in the nude for the September 2009 issue of Glamour magazine. via mahalo.com Glamour’s ed-in-chief says the response has been hugely positive - not surprising, since Miller’s size (12 to 14) is considered average for the American woman. How long until we start seeing plus-sized women in more of the major...
Courtney Upshaw Arrested
Courtney Upshaw, a linebacker for the Alabama Crimson Tide football team, was arrested in the early morning hours of August 20, 2009, on charges of domestic violence and harassment. via mahalo.com Is it too much to ask that our players stay out of jail if they can? At least steer clear of the law during football season guys. FYI: reports say Upshaw will NOT be suspended - just a guess here,...
Jamie Lynn Sigler Interview
via mahalo.com Big fat interview FAIL from ABC News reporter Dan Harris. He was discussing ”Entourage” with Jamie Lynn Sigler - didn’t know she was dating Jerry Ferrara (Turtle). Harris asks her “On the show, you’re Turtle’s (Jerry Ferrara) girlfriend, In real life, do you think beautiful women do or would date fat dudes?” And it just goes downhill...
Whitney Houston Oprah Winfrey
via mahalo.com According to Oprah this is the “most anticipated music interview of the decade.” Um. K. Maybe to some. But personally I’m already SICK of hearing about Whitney, her comeback, etc etc. For Houston fans though, this is a big deal I suppose. Wonder what the stipulations are for the sit down? I mean can Oprah ask whatever she wants? Are we gonna get the...
Helen Keller Dance
via mahalo.com I think I’m old and completely out of the loop - or I don’t have small children singing this song in my car/house. What is the Helen Keller dance, you ask? It’s part of a chorus of the pop-duo 30h!3’s song “Don’t Trust Me.” The lyrics: “Shush girl, shut your lips. Do the Helen Keller and talk with your...
Dr. Conrad Murray Manslaughter
According to a August 19, 2009, report by FOX News, Dr. Conrad Murray will be charged with manslaughter in connection with the death of pop music icon Michael Jackson. via mahalo.com Oooooh weee. Yesterday we had the Murray video thanking everyone for their support…saying he was afraid to answer the phone or check email. No wonder! FOX is indeed reporting that Murray will be indicted...
Elizabeth A. Thrasher
Elizabeth A. Thrasher of Missouri allegedly posted a photograph a 17-year-old girl, along with the girl’s personal information, under the “Casual Encounters” category of Craigslist. The girl was the daughter of her ex-husband’s girlfriend. via mahalo.com Yet another example of trashy scorned women in action. Hell hath no fury - but now it can lead to a prison term. ...
Dr. Conrad Murray Video
via mahalo.com You’ll remember Dr. Conrad Murray as Michael Jackson’s personal physician - you know, the one with him right before he died? We haven’t heard from him since Jackson’s passing back in June - but today he released a video thanking his fans and supporters. Apparently he felt compelled to do this because he’s “afraid to...

Megan Fox Peer Pressure PSA

John Hughes' Many, Many Films
I think many of us who consider ourselves members of the so-called “Generation X” were absolutely rocked yesterday when news broke that writer/director/producer John Hughes had died.

NJ Politician Joseph Doria Out Amid Corruption...
Wow, what a corruption probe in New Jersey (I know, shocking isn’t it?). Lots and lots of folks rounded up by the FBI in a big raid earlier today, and as a result, Governor Corzine’s likely spent the better part of his afternoon reading arrest reports and resignation letters. One of those letters was from former Jersey Department of Community Affairs Commissioner Joseph Doria. ...
Meet Charlotte Sellmyer, Photographer
Charlotte Sellmyer is all the rage on Capitol Hill these days. She’s a 23-year-old aide to Texas Congressman Lamar Smith - and she’s a budding photographer. Sellmyer is becoming quite popular among her fellow staffers for her photos, and word is spreading that she really is that good. What’s amazing to me is that she has no professional training - just a great deal of natural...
