HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW
WINTER OLYMPICS QUICK HITS
A GERMAN LUGER CHIPPED HIS TOOTH BITING HIS MEDAL FOR A PHOTO:
Part of the tradition that goes with winning an Olympic medal is posing for photos while BITING the medal. (--Because back in the old days, that's how people tested gold to make sure they weren't being scammed.) --German luger DAVID MOELLER (--Yes, it's pronounced "Molar") won a Silver medal earlier this week. Even though it wasn't a gold medal, he was still happy to pose for the traditional medal-biting picture . . . until he CHIPPED a TOOTH on it. --A corner of his front tooth chipped off, and Moeller had to make an emergency trip to the dentist. --Afterwards he said, quote, "It didn't hurt, but it is annoying when you can't smile as you normally do." --As an interesting side note, this year's medals are one of the heaviest in Olympic history. They weigh about 1 pound, 2 ounces. --Also, unlike previous Olympic medals, the Vancouver medals aren't flat. They have a "undulating wave" which might make them more dangerous to bite. (Yahoo and The Local)
GOLD MEDAL BONEHEAD OF THE DAY: A DUTCH SPEED SKATER ASKS A TV REPORTER IF SHE'S STUPID:
You wouldn't think a speed skater would get enough attention to be a prima donna, but check out Dutch Speed Skating gold medalist SVEN KRAMER. --A local news reporter asked him to state his name, country and event to help tape editors back at the station to identify him . . . and Sven TOOK OFFENSE. He told her, quote, "Are you, stupid? Hell, no, I'm not doing that." --When he finally approved her asking a DIFFERENT question, Sven offered the following jewel of wisdom: "I feel pretty good." --Later, while talking to a reporter from his own country, he complained about how stupid the woman was not to recognize him. He told that reporter, quote, "She was there when it happened, and then you have to sum up your whole biography. She's crazy." (--Check out video of this jerk here . . .) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIkgCbljJys
A FRENCH SKIER CRASHED FIVE SECONDS INTO HER RACE:
MARION ROLLAND might have had the worst downhill run in Olympic history. She crashed exactly FIVE SECONDS into her race on Wednesday. --Making matters worse, she injured her knee and had to be carried off the course, meaning she may miss her slalom event. (--Check out this spectacular flame-out here, complete with stunned French announcers here . . .)http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/vancouver/blog/fourth_place_medal/post/Video-French-skier-falls-five-seconds-into-down?urn=oly,220613 (Yahoo)
A TORONTO NEWSPAPER RAN A LUGE-THEMED AD RIGHT NEXT TO AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE DEAD LUGER:
Someone at the Toronto newspaper "The Globe and Mail" wasn't paying attention to the layout on Tuesday. --The paper ran an Olympic-themed ad from the Chartered Accountants of Canada on page O12. It showed a luge racer and said, "When there are no brakes to rely on, every decision matters." --Directly opposite the ad, on page O13 was an article titled "Games still reeling from shock of luger's death."
LINDSEY VONN WRAPPED HER SORE SHIN IN CHEESE:
LINDSEY VONN won a gold medal in the Women's Downhill on Wednesday despite a seriously injured shin. She credits her performance to the healing power of CHEESE. --In addition to massage and laser treatments, she wrapped her leg in TOPFEN CHEESE, which is a semi-soft European cheese curd. It supposedly reduces swelling. --Austrian skiers swear by Topfen . . . and so do nursing mothers, who claim that it helps treat mastitis, which is a PAINFUL SWELLING of BREAST TISSUE. (NY DAILY NEWS)
THE RESORT WHERE THEY ARE HOLDING THE ALPINE SKI EVENTS MAY GO INTO FORECLOSURE TODAY:
The glitches continue for the Vancouver Winter Olympics. Lehman Brothers may FORECLOSE on Whistler Resort, which is the site for the downhill, snowboard, and ski jumping events . . . TODAY. --The resort is one of several properties owned by INTRAWEST. In December, they defaulted on a debt payment of more than $500 million. Lehman has given them until today to produce the cash. (CNBC)

ERNIE ELS IS UPSET WITH TIGER WOODS FOR SCHEDULING HIS PRESS CONFERENCE DURING A PGA TOURNAMENT:
When TIGER WOODS makes his much-anticipated public statement today, he'll be doing so during a PGA event: The Accenture Match Play tournament. Some of Tiger's fellow pros aren't cool with that. --ERNIE ELS says, quote, "It's selfish . . . You can write that. Mondays are a good day to make statements, not Friday. This takes a lot away from the golf tournament. I feel sorry for the sponsor." (--Tiger probably doesn't, though. Accenture was one of the first sponsors to dump him after the scandal broke over Thanksgiving.)--Fellow golfer SERGIO GARCIA said, quote, "Timing-wise, it's not the best." --Today's statement will be made at the TPC Sawgrass Clubhouse in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. They're going overboard with security to make sure that only INVITED media get in. --Only a small group of people will be in attendance, including about SIX members of the media. The speech is expected to be about five to seven minutes long. Tiger will not answer questions. --Some media outlets are reporting that Tiger's wife, ELIN NORDEGREN, will NOT be there.
THE PGA TOUR COMMISSIONER SAYS TIGER WOODS IS ON A BREAK FROM REHAB:
TIGER WOODS never confirmed that he went to sex rehab. But yesterday, PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem did. He also revealed that Tiger isn't finished with rehab. He's just on a break. --Finchem said, quote, "As we understand it, Tiger's therapy called for a week's break at this time during which he has spent a few days with his children and then will make his statement before returning. --"Accordingly, there was very little flexibility in the date for the announcement. --"This is the time frame that met with his rehab schedule, coming out for a little bit, being with his family for a little bit, doing this, it just worked. --"He got out of rehab last week, he spent some time with his family and he had some time for this tomorrow, and he'll address the details of that tomorrow. I should leave that to him."
IS THIS PART OF TIGER WOODS' STATEMENT???
An alleged excerpt from the speech TIGER WOODS is giving this morning showed up online yesterday. --Keep in mind that we have NO WAY of knowing if this is legit. We don't even know the original source. --With that in mind, here it is . . . --"Directly to the point there is no one to blame but me for the mess I have put my wife and family through. I accept total and complete responsibility. My wife and I have been trying to work things out but sadly things have not worked out. --"We have decided to live apart with me having mutually agreed upon times when I can be with our children." --For the record, Tiger's reps say this thing is, quote, "absolutely false."
ADAM LAMBERT SAYS HE MADE OUT WITH KE$HA:
In a radio interview yesterday . . .. ADAM LAMBERT revealed that he made out with KE$HA the other night. --He said, quote, "I made out with Ke$ha actually, a couple nights ago . . . she's really pretty and we were laughing and just started kissing, I don't know." --Asked if Ke$ha was a good kisser, he said, quote, "She was great. It was pretty innocent, to be honest with you. It wasn't too dirty." --Adam was also asked about his stance on fur . . . and he's FOR IT. --He said, quote, "I know this is the most un-PC way to put it, but I didn't kill the thing, so I don't see why I can't wear it . . . It's like, we eat meat. --"I don't like cruelty to animals, obviously, anything that can be done to prevent that. But I think fur looks great."(--You can listen to the audio here . . .)http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_audio/021810_adam_lamert_audio.mp3
TRACY MORGAN TELLS THE GREATEST SEX STORY EVER:
The GREATEST SEX STORY EVER has been told. And it has been told by "30 Rock" star TRACY MORGAN, in "Elle" magazine. --He said, quote, "When I was 17, I had sex with a woman with a wooden arm. It was shaped like it was holding a cup. And it was painted red. And in my mind I was like, 'Oh (crap)!' But I did it anyway." --And that, my friends, was the GREATEST SEX STORY EVER. Thanks Tracy.
KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN'S BOYFRIEND DOESN'T THINK TOO HIGHLY OF HER MOM:
It's no secret that KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN'S baby-daddy, Scott Disick, isn't exactly in with the family . . . especially Kourtney's mom, KRIS. And on RYAN SEACREST'S radio show yesterday, he didn't smooth things over. --First, he said, "When I hear Kris' voice, all I hear is anger at all times." --Asked how he might be able to mend his relationship with Kris, Scott said, quote, "Well, I figure we could bridge the gap if I start training really hard right now in either football or basketball. --"But I don't know how long it would take to be in the NBA or NFL. Kris just thinks if you're an athlete, you tend to be a better person, and that's not always the case." --Then he said, quote, "Now that [our son] Mason's here and she's like a grandmother and she realizes she's not like a 20-year-old kid and she's like a grandmother, I think her attitude has changed for the better and I'm appreciative of it."
#1.) There was a rumor going around Wednesday that SIMON COWELL had gotten engaged. It's NOT TRUE. (--Simon is reportedly dating an "American Idol" makeup artist named Mezhgan Hussainy . . . but they're not engaged.)
#2.) Yesterday on "The View", BARBARA WALTERS denied rumors that she's living with FRANK LANGELLA. She said, quote, "If he's in my apartment, I don't know where!"
NICOLAS CAGE SAYS HE'LL PAY OFF EVERYTHING HE OWES:
NICOLAS CAGE is in some serious financial trouble right now . . . trouble that includes a $6 million debt to the IRS. --He blames it all on a shady financial manager, whom he is in the process of suing. In the meantime, he plans on making good on ALL his IOUs. --He says, quote, "I have a new manager now, so I'm halfway there. And I will pay off all those debts, to the last cent. I have a responsibility for my sons and my wife. I have to get back on my feet." (--Cage and his wife, Alice Kim, have a four-year-old son named Kal-El . . . which is the birth name of Superman. He also has a 19-year-old son named Weston from a previous relationship.) --Cage says he actually felt SUICIDAL when he realized what a huge hole he was in. He added, quote, "The first thing you think is, 'This can't be true. I want to crawl up and hide at the end of the world.'" --Cage says it was mostly crazy property purchases that ruined him. (--He owns . . . or at one time owned . . . three castles, two islands in the Bahamas and several mansions.)
CHRIS BROWN GOT GOOD MARKS DURING A STATUS HEARING YESTERDAY:
CHRIS BROWN got high marks yesterday from the judge overseeing his assault case. --Chris and his attorney presented proof to the court that he had performed 32 days of hard labor and attended 17 of his required 52 domestic violence courses. --The judge told Chris he was doing a good job . . . saying, quote, "Looks like you're doing really, really well. That's always good to see. I think you've made a lot of progress in the last month." --The judge also gave him permission to leave the country for some concerts from May 18th to June 27th. --Brown was sentenced to six months . . . or 180 days . . . of HARD LABOR for his assault of RIHANNA last February. (--Instead of asking for generic "community service", prosecutors specified that they wanted Chris to WORK, doing things like washing cars, picking up trash and removing graffiti. The judge went along with it.)
#1.) GILBERT ARENAS may be suspended for the rest of the NBA season for bringing a gun into the Washington Wizards locker room . . . but the team might still have a place for him next year. --Yesterday, Wizards GM Ernie Grunfeld said, quote, "We think he's going to be back with us. He's part of the organization. If he's going to play, he's going to play here." (--There's no word on the possible fate of fellow locker room gunslinger JAVARIS CRITTENTON . . . who was also suspended for the rest of the season.)
MOVIE RANDOMS:
#1.) MARTIN SCORSESE says that LEONARDO DICAPRIO will play the lead in his upcoming movie about FRANK SINATRA. But Leo will NOT do the singing --Scorsese says, quote, "With those records? Frank will do the singing. But we're waiting for a finished script." (--There's no word yet on a possible release date . . . which isn't surprising since there isn't even a finished script yet.) (--Scorsese and DiCaprio's latest collaboration, "Shutter Island", opens TODAY. They've also done "The Departed", "The Aviator" and "Gangs of New York" together.)
#2.) The trailer for the third "Twilight" movie, "Eclipse", will hit theaters on March 12th, before ROBERT PATTINSON'S next movie, "Remember Me". (--"Eclipse" comes out June 30th. "Remember Me" is a drama co-starring EMILIE DE RAVIN from "Lost".)
"AMERICAN IDOL" HAS DISQUALIFIED CHRIS GOLIGHTLY:
On Wednesday night, "American Idol" unveiled their Top 24 . . . and as if on cue, the show's first "controversy" broke almost immediately after the broadcast. -Yesterday, "Idol" announced that CHRIS GOLIGHTLY . . . the curly-haired dude, who grew up bouncing between foster homes . . . has been disqualified. 20-year-old TIM URBAN will replace him. (--If you were watching close enough, you saw that something was amiss on Wednesday's episode. Chris appeared in a Top 24 group shot near the end, but Tim was shown instead when the contestants were announced individually.) -"Idol" didn't elaborate on why Chris was DQ'ed, but it appears that there was some confusion regarding a previous recording contract. Chris didn't tell producers that he was signed as a member of a boy band around the time of his audition last June. --Chris claims he didn't mention it because the contract had expired before his audition. But his former manager, Lawrence Franklin, says that Chris WAS under contract at the time, but he was willing to let him out for the audition. --Either way, Chris was unable to immediately produce documents to prove that the contract wasn't active when he auditioned . . . so "Idol" dropped him and moved on. --In an interview yesterday, Chris said, quote, "This is not fair. I don't know what to do. Everything was fine when I made the Top 24. --"I've left [the producers] voicemails, but they've screened my calls. They don't even answer me. Nobody. But I went and looked this morning . . . I was not in a contract. --"If [the show's] trying to say that's what it was about, they're covering their ass." Chris added that he isn't sure how he's going to proceed with this, but he said, quote, "I just want the spot I earned." --Later, SIMON COWELL said he was still in the dark . . . quote, "I really, honestly don't have a clue why he's been removed from the competition. I'm guessing it's some sort of technical reason. It's a shame for him. He needed this opportunity." --When asked if Chris could be considered for Simon's new show, "The X Factor", he said, quote, "Well, I've gotta find out what the reason [for his disqualification] is first! If it was something like a technical reason, yeah, of course he could."
THE OLYMPICS BEAT "AMERICAN IDOL" IN THE RATINGS:
On Wednesday, Winter Olympics coverage beat "American Idol" in the ratings . . . by nearly 12 million viewers. During the 9:00 P.M. hour, 30.4 million people were watching the Olympics, and just 18.4 million were watching "Idol" on Fox --That's not only a season low for "Idol", but it was also the lowest-rated episode since April of 2004, and the first time "Idol" has been beaten in its timeslot in the past six years. (--On Tuesday night, "Idol" beat the Olympics 23.6 million to 19.7 million.)
WILL TINA FEY BRING HER SARAH PALIN IMPRESSION BACK TO "SNL"?
TINA FEY has announced that she will be returning to host "Saturday Night Live" in April . . . and it sounds like we might see her SARAH PALIN impression again. -She said, quote, "It's inevitable that we'll try it, at least. We'll see if it makes it to air. --"[The Sarah Palin thing] was the strangest thing that's ever happened to me. I've never had anything fall in my lap like that. Everything is usually me trying to convince the people of Earth that it's OK for me to perform. That felt like the opposite." --There's no date for her "SNL" appearance yet.
AEROSMITH IS BACK, APPARENTLY:
In the last week, AEROSMITH has booked two European festival gigs . . . WITH STEVEN TYLER . . . and more are reportedly on the way. A U.K. based rep for the band says they're working on more European dates. --Supposedly, the group has also been offered tour dates in South America . . . but there hasn't been any word on any North American dates. --Obviously, this means Steven is back in Aerosmith . . . at least for now . . . but there's no official word on their status. But yesterday, Aerosmith drummer JOEY KRAMER did Tweet, quote, "Aerosmith is back!" (--We'll keep you posted.)
THE WHO'S FUTURE IS IN DOUBT . . . BECAUSE PETE TOWNSHEND'S HEARING PROBLEMS HAVE RETURNED:
PETE TOWNSHEND . . . of THE WHO . . . says his hearing problems have returned, which may put the future of the band in jeopardy. --He tells "Rolling Stone", quote, "If my hearing is going to be a problem, we're not delaying shows. We're finished. I can't really see any way around the issue." --Pete suffers from a disorder called tinnitus . . . which is marked by a ringing or some other persistent sound in one or both of the ears. One of the common causes of it is NOISE-INDUCED HEARING LOSS. --The Who has already been forced to scrap plans for a tour this year and an appearance at the Coachella music festival. Their only show on the books is a May 30th charity show in London.
THE SUBJECT OF "MY SHARONA" IS PRETTY HOT:
SHARONA ALPERIN has been getting some media attention since the death of KNACK singer DOUG FIEGER. (--Yes, there WAS a real Sharona.) --She and Doug dated, then broke up . . . but they stayed friends right up until Doug's death this past Sunday from Cancer. She was even among the people who were with him last weekend when he passed away. (--Sharona is in her late 40s now. She's into real estate. And she's still quite hot. Check her out here . . .) http://www.mysharona.com/
NAZZY'S RANDOM STUFF
A SCHOOL DISTRICT IS BEING SUED FOR SPYING ON STUDENTS USING THE WEBCAMS OF SCHOOL-PROVIDED LAPTOPS:
Michael and Holly Robbins send their son Blake to Harriton High School, one of two high schools in Lower Merion, Pennsylvania, a suburb west of Philadelphia. --It's a pretty wealthy area. In fact, the Lower Merion School School District is so wealthy, all 2,300 students at both high schools get a school-issued laptop. Sounds pretty sweet, right? --There's a catch: Recently, an assistant principal named Lindy Matsko told Michael and Holly that Blake had engaged in improper behavior at home . . . and the school had the webcam images to prove it. --And that's because the laptops came equipped with webcams that can be secretly activated by school administrators. --Now the Robbins are suing the school district in Federal Court, and suspect the cameras captured other students and their family members in any number of embarrassing situations. --School officials haven't commented on the suit, or confirmed whether they secretly activated the webcams. And we're not sure what Blake's accused of doing. (Associated Press)
A GUY CRASHED A SMALL PLANE INTO AN IRS BUILDING IN TEXAS AND KILLED TWO PEOPLE:
As you've probably heard by now, a 53-year-old guy named Andrew Joseph Stack crashed a small plane into an IRS building in Austin, Texas yesterday morning. The crash killed two people, critically injured two others, and injured another 11 people. --Andrew died in the crash too. Apparently he had some kind of beef with the IRS, but it's unclear exactly what it was. So yesterday morning he set his house on fire, and got into his Piper Cherokee PA-28, a four-seat single-engine airplane, sort of like a Cessna. --Then he slammed it into a building that housed an IRS office with about 199 employees. --He'd also posted a rambling suicide note on his website that read in part, quote, "I saw it written once that the definition of insanity is repeating the same process over and over and expecting the outcome to suddenly be different . . . --"I am finally ready to stop this insanity. Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, let's try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well." (--The "pound of flesh" bit is a reference to Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice", where a money-lender requires a pound of flesh when a loan can't be repaid. You can read more about the whole thing here . . .)http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/02/18/texas.plane.crash/index.html
THREE IN FIVE WOMEN ADMIT THEY TRICKED THEIR MAN INTO PROPOSING:
Guys . . . I know you love your girl. And I know that WHEN and IF you're ever ready, you're going to propose to her. But you need to know that your girl may try to force your hand. --That's according to a new survey in the UK, which found that THREE in FIVE women admit they used dirty tactics to trick their man into proposing. --ONE in THREE women say they bullied their man into getting married by threatening to leave him if he didn't propose. --17% sent themselves flowers from a fake admirer in order to make their man jealous. --And ONE in TEN women admit they got pregnant ON PURPOSE in order to trick their man into proposing. --And even after all that underhanded, semi-evil nonsense, ONE in THREE women say they still didn't enjoy their wedding day as much as expected. (Daily Mail)
THERE'S A NEW KEYBOARD THAT HAS ONE BUTTON FOR COMMON INTERNET ACRONYMS LIKE "LOL" AND "L8R":
The reason people started using acronyms like ROFL, IMHO, and TTYL is because it's quicker and easier than typing out the actual words. Put another way, it's because people are LAZY. (--If you're living in the stone age and don't know what the abbreviations above stand for, they're "Rolling On the Floor Laughing," "In My Humble Opinion," and "Talk To You Later.") --Now, a company called Kotaku has taken laziness to a whole new level by developing a new keyboard called the Fast Finger, which has a single button for the most common Internet acronyms and abbreviations.(--You can buy the Fast Finger keyboard for $23 here . . .)http://www.fastfingerkeyboards.com/store/index.php/buy.html(Yahoo Video Games)
THERE'S A WEBSITE THAT LETS BURGLARS KNOW WHEN YOU'RE NOT HOME:
People love posting status updates on social network websites to let their friends know when they're at work, or the movies, or on vacation. Which, if you think about it, is a really bad idea. --Enter PleaseRobMe.com . . . a website that posts status updates from Twitter users about their whereabouts, to let "burglars" know what houses they should rob. (???) (--You can link to the website here. Just know that as of last night, it was down. It's unclear why, but maybe it's because people didn't appreciate their information being used that way.) (--The site's creators said they wanted to point out how BAD an idea it is to post your whereabouts online. But let's face it, this probably wasn't the best way to conduct their little public service announcement.) http://pleaserobme.com/ (New York Times)
SOME GUY ALMOST KILLED HIMSELF BY PUTTING ON 20 NICOTINE PATCHES:
Now it's time for a little segment we like to call Amazing Feats of Drunken Stupidity . . . --On Tuesday, an unidentified 25-year-old man in Regina, Canada, got boozed-up and locked himself inside the bathroom of a restaurant, where he inexplicably applied 20 NICOTINE PATCHES to his body. --Once they realized something was going on, restaurant employees called the police. And eventually, rescue workers were able to coax the drunken fool out of the bathroom. --The man was rushed to the hospital where he was treated. As of last night, he was still recovering in the hospital. (CBC News) (--WARNING!!! Do NOT attempt to see how many nicotine patches you can wear at once. It's dangerous, and you could die . . . just like this MEATBALL almost did.)
HOOKERS IN SWISS BROTHELS ARE BEING TAUGHT TO USE DEFIBRILLATORS TO
PREVENT ELDERLY CUSTOMERS FROM DYING:
Prostitution is legal in Switzerland, and in the southern city of Lugano, there are about 38 brothels and sex clubs. --Anyway, it seems Lugano's sex workers are good at what they do. Because lately, a string of elderly customers have suffered heart attacks and DIED while being serviced. --So to prevent it from happening, hookers in Lugano are being taught to use DEFIBRILLATORS, because according to one sex club owner, quote, "Having customers die on us isn't exactly good publicity." (Daily Telegraph)
NAZZY'S SILLY VIDEOS OF THE DAY
#1.) This guy pranks his boss by telling him that if you tilt your head back and pretend like you're shaking salt into your mouth, you can actually taste salt. Then his boss does it and looks like he's giving a guy oral.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmyzJT0Sr2w(Search Terms: I play a little joke on my boss video)

HOW TO DEAL WITH FOUR WOMEN WHO MIGHT BE IN YOUR GUY'S LIFE:
Let's face it, most women get JEALOUS at some point in their relationship when it comes to other women. If that sounds like you, here are four females that may be in your guy's life, and how to deal . . .
#1.) THE EX-GIRLFRIEND WHO'S STILL HANGING AROUND. For starters, you should know that it's good to have a boyfriend who's on good terms with his exes. It's a sign of maturity and it means he's more likely to treat you well if things don't work out. --But their contact needs to be appropriate. Lunch every once in a while and an occasional phone call is fine. But when push comes to shove, his priority should be you. --So here's how to deal: Whatever you do, DON'T bash his ex or call her needy. That'll only make him think you're jealous and crazy. Instead, tell him you really like her, but sometimes it bothers you when they go out for dinner or drinks together.
#2.) A PAST LOVER WHO ROCKED HIS WORLD. A lot of guys have this woman in their past: Someone who was so smart, funny, or sexy, you feel like you just can't compare. --And to make things worse, usually she's so long-gone that you can't even meet her and size her up. But if you ask for details to satisfy your curiosity, you'll only learn things that will upset you. --Here's how to deal: You can't change his past, so you're better off just accepting it, and reminding yourself that no matter how amazing she was in bed, there's a reason they aren't still together.
#3.) THE FEMALE CO-WORKER. It's natural to wonder if those late nights at the office are purely professional, or something more. --If he's going out with his female coworker and a group of people, that's fine . . . but if it's just the two of them meeting for martinis at a lounge all the time, that could be something else. --How to deal: It can be easy to misinterpret office friendships as something more, so the fastest way to get a better gauge is to meet the woman in question. Tell him you'd like to meet his co-workers at happy hour some day. --If he resists, it could be a red flag. If you DO meet the woman in question, your intuition will probably clue you in to what's really going on.
#4.) HIS BEST FEMALE FRIEND. He's known her a lot longer than you, and maybe she even knows him better than you. How can you compete with that, right? WRONG. If they haven't dated by now, they probably never will. --Still, once your relationship gets serious, his primary source of support should shift from his best friend to you. And while it might take some time, it needs to happen eventually. --How to deal: When you talk to him about your concerns, don't make it about how he has a female friend . . . focus on how his friendship with her is specifically affecting YOUR relationship. Like if he's blown you off to spend time with her instead. (Match.com)
A GERMAN LUGER CHIPPED HIS TOOTH BITING HIS MEDAL FOR A PHOTO:
Part of the tradition that goes with winning an Olympic medal is posing for photos while BITING the medal. (--Because back in the old days, that's how people tested gold to make sure they weren't being scammed.) --German luger DAVID MOELLER (--Yes, it's pronounced "Molar") won a Silver medal earlier this week. Even though it wasn't a gold medal, he was still happy to pose for the traditional medal-biting picture . . . until he CHIPPED a TOOTH on it. --A corner of his front tooth chipped off, and Moeller had to make an emergency trip to the dentist. --Afterwards he said, quote, "It didn't hurt, but it is annoying when you can't smile as you normally do." --As an interesting side note, this year's medals are one of the heaviest in Olympic history. They weigh about 1 pound, 2 ounces. --Also, unlike previous Olympic medals, the Vancouver medals aren't flat. They have a "undulating wave" which might make them more dangerous to bite. (Yahoo and The Local)
GOLD MEDAL BONEHEAD OF THE DAY: A DUTCH SPEED SKATER ASKS A TV REPORTER IF SHE'S STUPID:
You wouldn't think a speed skater would get enough attention to be a prima donna, but check out Dutch Speed Skating gold medalist SVEN KRAMER. --A local news reporter asked him to state his name, country and event to help tape editors back at the station to identify him . . . and Sven TOOK OFFENSE. He told her, quote, "Are you, stupid? Hell, no, I'm not doing that." --When he finally approved her asking a DIFFERENT question, Sven offered the following jewel of wisdom: "I feel pretty good." --Later, while talking to a reporter from his own country, he complained about how stupid the woman was not to recognize him. He told that reporter, quote, "She was there when it happened, and then you have to sum up your whole biography. She's crazy."

ERNIE ELS IS UPSET WITH TIGER WOODS FOR SCHEDULING HIS PRESS CONFERENCE DURING A PGA TOURNAMENT:
When TIGER WOODS makes his much-anticipated public statement today, he'll be doing so during a PGA event: The Accenture Match Play tournament. Some of Tiger's fellow pros aren't cool with that. --ERNIE ELS says, quote, "It's selfish . . . You can write that. Mondays are a good day to make statements, not Friday. This takes a lot away from the golf tournament. I feel sorry for the sponsor." (--Tiger probably doesn't, though. Accenture was one of the first sponsors to dump him after the scandal broke over Thanksgiving.)--Fellow golfer SERGIO GARCIA said, quote, "Timing-wise, it's not the best." --Today's statement will be made at the TPC Sawgrass Clubhouse in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. They're going overboard with security to make sure that only INVITED media get in. --Only a small group of people will be in attendance, including about SIX members of the media. The speech is expected to be about five to seven minutes long. Tiger will not answer questions. --Some media outlets are reporting that Tiger's wife, ELIN NORDEGREN, will NOT be there.
THE PGA TOUR COMMISSIONER SAYS TIGER WOODS IS ON A BREAK FROM REHAB:
TIGER WOODS never confirmed that he went to sex rehab. But yesterday, PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem did. He also revealed that Tiger isn't finished with rehab. He's just on a break. --Finchem said, quote, "As we understand it, Tiger's therapy called for a week's break at this time during which he has spent a few days with his children and then will make his statement before returning. --"Accordingly, there was very little flexibility in the date for the announcement. --"This is the time frame that met with his rehab schedule, coming out for a little bit, being with his family for a little bit, doing this, it just worked. --"He got out of rehab last week, he spent some time with his family and he had some time for this tomorrow, and he'll address the details of that tomorrow. I should leave that to him."
IS THIS PART OF TIGER WOODS' STATEMENT???
An alleged excerpt from the speech TIGER WOODS is giving this morning showed up online yesterday. --Keep in mind that we have NO WAY of knowing if this is legit. We don't even know the original source. --With that in mind, here it is . . . --"Directly to the point there is no one to blame but me for the mess I have put my wife and family through. I accept total and complete responsibility. My wife and I have been trying to work things out but sadly things have not worked out. --"We have decided to live apart with me having mutually agreed upon times when I can be with our children." --For the record, Tiger's reps say this thing is, quote, "absolutely false."

ADAM LAMBERT revealed that he made out with KE$HA the other night. --He said, quote, "I made out with Ke$ha actually, a couple nights ago . . . she's really pretty and we were laughing and just started kissing, I don't know." --Asked if Ke$ha was a good kisser, he said, quote, "She was great. It was pretty innocent, to be honest with you. It wasn't too dirty." --Adam was also asked about his stance on fur . . . and he's FOR IT. --He said, quote, "I know this is the most un-PC way to put it, but I didn't kill the thing, so I don't see why I can't wear it . . . It's like, we eat meat. --"I don't like cruelty to animals, obviously, anything that can be done to prevent that. But I think fur looks great."(--You can listen to the audio here . . .)http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_audio/021810_adam_lamert_audio.mp3

And on RYAN SEACREST'S radio show yesterday, he didn't smooth things over. --First, he said, "When I hear Kris' voice, all I hear is anger at all times." --Asked how he might be able to mend his relationship with Kris, Scott said, quote, "Well, I figure we could bridge the gap if I start training really hard right now in either football or basketball. --"But I don't know how long it would take to be in the NBA or NFL. Kris just thinks if you're an athlete, you tend to be a better person, and that's not always the case." --Then he said, quote, "Now that [our son] Mason's here and she's like a grandmother and she realizes she's not like a 20-year-old kid and she's like a grandmother, I think her attitude has changed for the better and I'm appreciative of it."

In the meantime, he plans on making good on ALL his IOUs. --He says, quote, "I have a new manager now, so I'm halfway there. And I will pay off all those debts, to the last cent. I have a responsibility for my sons and my wife. I have to get back on my feet." (--Cage and his wife, Alice Kim, have a four-year-old son named Kal-El . . . which is the birth name of Superman. He also has a 19-year-old son named Weston from a previous relationship.) --Cage says he actually felt SUICIDAL when he realized what a huge hole he was in. He added, quote, "The first thing you think is, 'This can't be true. I want to crawl up and hide at the end of the world.'" --Cage says it was mostly crazy property purchases that ruined him. (--He owns . . . or at one time owned . . . three castles, two islands in the Bahamas and several mansions.)

That's always good to see.

Frank will do the singing. But we're waiting for a finished script." (--There's no word yet on a possible release date . . . which isn't surprising since there isn't even a finished script yet.)

"AMERICAN IDOL" HAS DISQUALIFIED CHRIS GOLIGHTLY:
On Wednesday night, "American Idol" unveiled their Top 24 . . . and as if on cue, the show's first "controversy" broke almost immediately after the broadcast. -Yesterday, "Idol" announced that CHRIS GOLIGHTLY . . . the curly-haired dude, who grew up bouncing between foster homes . . . has been disqualified. 20-year-old TIM URBAN will replace him. (--If you were watching close enough, you saw that something was amiss on Wednesday's episode. Chris appeared in a Top 24 group shot near the end, but Tim was shown instead when the contestants were announced individually.) -"Idol" didn't elaborate on why Chris was DQ'ed, but it appears that there was some confusion regarding a previous recording contract. Chris didn't tell producers that he was signed as a member of a boy band around the time of his audition last June. --Chris claims he didn't mention it because the contract had expired before his audition. But his former manager, Lawrence Franklin, says that Chris WAS under contract at the time, but he was willing to let him out for the audition. --Either way, Chris was unable to immediately produce documents to prove that the contract wasn't active when he auditioned . . . so "Idol" dropped him and moved on. --In an interview yesterday, Chris said, quote, "This is not fair. I don't know what to do. Everything was fine when I made the Top 24. --"I've left [the producers] voicemails, but they've screened my calls. They don't even answer me. Nobody. But I went and looked this morning . . . I was not in a contract. --"If [the show's] trying to say that's what it was about, they're covering their ass." Chris added that he isn't sure how he's going to proceed with this, but he said, quote, "I just want the spot I earned." --Later, SIMON COWELL said he was still in the dark . . . quote, "I really, honestly don't have a clue why he's been removed from the competition. I'm guessing it's some sort of technical reason. It's a shame for him. He needed this opportunity." --When asked if Chris could be considered for Simon's new show, "The X Factor", he said, quote, "Well, I've gotta find out what the reason [for his disqualification] is first! If it was something like a technical reason, yeah, of course he could."
THE OLYMPICS BEAT "AMERICAN IDOL" IN THE RATINGS:
On Wednesday, Winter Olympics coverage beat "American Idol" in the ratings . . . by nearly 12 million viewers. During the 9:00 P.M. hour, 30.4 million people were watching the Olympics, and just 18.4 million were watching "Idol" on Fox --That's not only a season low for "Idol", but it was also the lowest-rated episode since April of 2004, and the first time "Idol" has been beaten in its timeslot in the past six years. (--On Tuesday night, "Idol" beat the Olympics 23.6 million to 19.7 million.)

We'll see if it makes it to air. --"[The Sarah Palin thing] was the strangest thing that's ever happened to me. I've never had anything fall in my lap like that. Everything is usually me trying to convince the people of Earth that it's OK for me to perform. That felt like the opposite." --There's no date for her "SNL" appearance yet.
AEROSMITH IS BACK, APPARENTLY:
In the last week, AEROSMITH has booked two European festival gigs . . . WITH STEVEN TYLER . . . and more are reportedly on the way. A U.K. based rep for the band says they're working on more European dates. --Supposedly, the group has also been offered tour dates in South America . . . but there hasn't been any word on any North American dates. --Obviously, this means Steven is back in Aerosmith . . . at least for now . . . but there's no official word on their status. But yesterday, Aerosmith drummer JOEY KRAMER did Tweet, quote, "Aerosmith is back!" (--We'll keep you posted.)
THE WHO'S FUTURE IS IN DOUBT . . . BECAUSE PETE TOWNSHEND'S HEARING PROBLEMS HAVE RETURNED:
PETE TOWNSHEND . . . of THE WHO . . . says his hearing problems have returned, which may put the future of the band in jeopardy. --He tells "Rolling Stone", quote, "If my hearing is going to be a problem, we're not delaying shows. We're finished. I can't really see any way around the issue." --Pete suffers from a disorder called tinnitus . . . which is marked by a ringing or some other persistent sound in one or both of the ears. One of the common causes of it is NOISE-INDUCED HEARING LOSS. --The Who has already been forced to scrap plans for a tour this year and an appearance at the Coachella music festival.

Check her out here . . .) http://www.mysharona.com/
NAZZY'S RANDOM STUFF
A SCHOOL DISTRICT IS BEING SUED FOR SPYING ON STUDENTS USING THE WEBCAMS OF SCHOOL-PROVIDED LAPTOPS:
Michael and Holly Robbins send their son Blake to Harriton High School, one of two high schools in Lower Merion, Pennsylvania, a suburb west of Philadelphia. --It's a pretty wealthy area. In fact, the Lower Merion School School District is so wealthy, all 2,300 students at both high schools get a school-issued laptop. Sounds pretty sweet, right? --There's a catch: Recently, an assistant principal named Lindy Matsko told Michael and Holly that Blake had engaged in improper behavior at home . . . and the school had the webcam images to prove it. --And that's because the laptops came equipped with webcams that can be secretly activated by school administrators. --Now the Robbins are suing the school district in Federal Court, and suspect the cameras captured other students and their family members in any number of embarrassing situations. --School officials haven't commented on the suit, or confirmed whether they secretly activated the webcams. And we're not sure what Blake's accused of doing. (Associated Press)
A GUY CRASHED A SMALL PLANE INTO AN IRS BUILDING IN TEXAS AND KILLED TWO PEOPLE:
As you've probably heard by now, a 53-year-old guy named Andrew Joseph Stack crashed a small plane into an IRS building in Austin, Texas yesterday morning. The crash killed two people, critically injured two others, and injured another 11 people. --Andrew died in the crash too. Apparently he had some kind of beef with the IRS, but it's unclear exactly what it was. So yesterday morning he set his house on fire, and got into his Piper Cherokee PA-28, a four-seat single-engine airplane, sort of like a Cessna. --Then he slammed it into a building that housed an IRS office with about 199 employees. --He'd also posted a rambling suicide note on his website that read in part, quote, "I saw it written once that the definition of insanity is repeating the same process over and over and expecting the outcome to suddenly be different . . . --"I am finally ready to stop this insanity. Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, let's try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well." (--The "pound of flesh" bit is a reference to Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice", where a money-lender requires a pound of flesh when a loan can't be repaid. You can read more about the whole thing here . . .)http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/02/18/texas.plane.crash/index.html
THREE IN FIVE WOMEN ADMIT THEY TRICKED THEIR MAN INTO PROPOSING:
Guys . . . I know you love your girl. And I know that WHEN and IF you're ever ready, you're going to propose to her. But you need to know that your girl may try to force your hand. --That's according to a new survey in the UK, which found that THREE in FIVE women admit they used dirty tactics to trick their man into proposing. --ONE in THREE women say they bullied their man into getting married by threatening to leave him if he didn't propose. --17% sent themselves flowers from a fake admirer in order to make their man jealous. --And ONE in TEN women admit they got pregnant ON PURPOSE in order to trick their man into proposing. --And even after all that underhanded, semi-evil nonsense, ONE in THREE women say they still didn't enjoy their wedding day as much as expected. (Daily Mail)
THERE'S A NEW KEYBOARD THAT HAS ONE BUTTON FOR COMMON INTERNET ACRONYMS LIKE "LOL" AND "L8R":
The reason people started using acronyms like ROFL, IMHO, and TTYL is because it's quicker and easier than typing out the actual words. Put another way, it's because people are LAZY. (--If you're living in the stone age and don't know what the abbreviations above stand for, they're "Rolling On the Floor Laughing," "In My Humble Opinion," and "Talk To You Later.") --Now, a company called Kotaku has taken laziness to a whole new level by developing a new keyboard called the Fast Finger, which has a single button for the most common Internet acronyms and abbreviations.(--You can buy the Fast Finger keyboard for $23 here . . .)http://www.fastfingerkeyboards.com/store/index.php/buy.html(Yahoo Video Games)
THERE'S A WEBSITE THAT LETS BURGLARS KNOW WHEN YOU'RE NOT HOME:
People love posting status updates on social network websites to let their friends know when they're at work, or the movies, or on vacation. Which, if you think about it, is a really bad idea. --Enter PleaseRobMe.com . . . a website that posts status updates from Twitter users about their whereabouts, to let "burglars" know what houses they should rob. (???) (--You can link to the website here. Just know that as of last night, it was down. It's unclear why, but maybe it's because people didn't appreciate their information being used that way.) (--The site's creators said they wanted to point out how BAD an idea it is to post your whereabouts online. But let's face it, this probably wasn't the best way to conduct their little public service announcement.) http://pleaserobme.com/ (New York Times)
SOME GUY ALMOST KILLED HIMSELF BY PUTTING ON 20 NICOTINE PATCHES:
Now it's time for a little segment we like to call Amazing Feats of Drunken Stupidity . . . --On Tuesday, an unidentified 25-year-old man in Regina, Canada, got boozed-up and locked himself inside the bathroom of a restaurant, where he inexplicably applied 20 NICOTINE PATCHES to his body. --Once they realized something was going on, restaurant employees called the police. And eventually, rescue workers were able to coax the drunken fool out of the bathroom. --The man was rushed to the hospital where he was treated. As of last night, he was still recovering in the hospital. (CBC News) (--WARNING!!! Do NOT attempt to see how many nicotine patches you can wear at once. It's dangerous, and you could die . . . just like this MEATBALL almost did.)
HOOKERS IN SWISS BROTHELS ARE BEING TAUGHT TO USE DEFIBRILLATORS TO
PREVENT ELDERLY CUSTOMERS FROM DYING:
Prostitution is legal in Switzerland, and in the southern city of Lugano, there are about 38 brothels and sex clubs. --Anyway, it seems Lugano's sex workers are good at what they do. Because lately, a string of elderly customers have suffered heart attacks and DIED while being serviced. --So to prevent it from happening, hookers in Lugano are being taught to use DEFIBRILLATORS, because according to one sex club owner, quote, "Having customers die on us isn't exactly good publicity." (Daily Telegraph)
NAZZY'S SILLY VIDEOS OF THE DAY
#1.) This guy pranks his boss by telling him that if you tilt your head back and pretend like you're shaking salt into your mouth, you can actually taste salt. Then his boss does it and looks like he's giving a guy oral.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmyzJT0Sr2w(Search Terms: I play a little joke on my boss video)
#2.) Someone noticed that at the end of "Back To The Future III" one of Doc's kids in the background makes a weird gesture and points at his crotch. (--It happens at :38, and there are a couple slow-motion replays at :48.)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeO-MK0xUP4 (Search Terms: Back to the Future Part III - Verne points at his crank)
HOW TO DEAL WITH FOUR WOMEN WHO MIGHT BE IN YOUR GUY'S LIFE:
Let's face it, most women get JEALOUS at some point in their relationship when it comes to other women. If that sounds like you, here are four females that may be in your guy's life, and how to deal . . .
#1.) THE EX-GIRLFRIEND WHO'S STILL HANGING AROUND. For starters, you should know that it's good to have a boyfriend who's on good terms with his exes. It's a sign of maturity and it means he's more likely to treat you well if things don't work out. --But their contact needs to be appropriate. Lunch every once in a while and an occasional phone call is fine. But when push comes to shove, his priority should be you. --So here's how to deal: Whatever you do, DON'T bash his ex or call her needy. That'll only make him think you're jealous and crazy. Instead, tell him you really like her, but sometimes it bothers you when they go out for dinner or drinks together.
#2.) A PAST LOVER WHO ROCKED HIS WORLD. A lot of guys have this woman in their past: Someone who was so smart, funny, or sexy, you feel like you just can't compare. --And to make things worse, usually she's so long-gone that you can't even meet her and size her up. But if you ask for details to satisfy your curiosity, you'll only learn things that will upset you. --Here's how to deal: You can't change his past, so you're better off just accepting it, and reminding yourself that no matter how amazing she was in bed, there's a reason they aren't still together.
#3.) THE FEMALE CO-WORKER. It's natural to wonder if those late nights at the office are purely professional, or something more. --If he's going out with his female coworker and a group of people, that's fine . . . but if it's just the two of them meeting for martinis at a lounge all the time, that could be something else. --How to deal: It can be easy to misinterpret office friendships as something more, so the fastest way to get a better gauge is to meet the woman in question. Tell him you'd like to meet his co-workers at happy hour some day. --If he resists, it could be a red flag. If you DO meet the woman in question, your intuition will probably clue you in to what's really going on.
#4.) HIS BEST FEMALE FRIEND. He's known her a lot longer than you, and maybe she even knows him better than you. How can you compete with that, right? WRONG. If they haven't dated by now, they probably never will. --Still, once your relationship gets serious, his primary source of support should shift from his best friend to you. And while it might take some time, it needs to happen eventually. --How to deal: When you talk to him about your concerns, don't make it about how he has a female friend . . . focus on how his friendship with her is specifically affecting YOUR relationship. Like if he's blown you off to spend time with her instead. (Match.com)
