If HEATHER LOCKLEAR did run down a "No Parking" sign in her neighborhood last month, she's going to get away with it. --Prosecutors know that a BMW registered to Heather took out the sign . . . but they have no proof that Heather was behind the wheel at the time. So they're not pressing charges.

Earlier this week, an Australian TV host said that when JUSTIN BIEBER was on his show, he snapped at a staffer behind the scenes because the guy put a hand on him. According to the host, Justin said, quote, "Don't ever (effing) touch me again!" --Well, Justin addressed the story on Twitter yesterday. --He said, quote, "I was raised to respect others and not gossip . . . nor answer gossip with anger. I know my friends, family and fans know the person I am. Hearing adults spread lies and rumors is part of the job I guess. --"But all I have to say is . . . kill 'em with kindness. So everyone keep smiling . . . we r all blessed and I am still grateful and appreciate of the opportunity u have all given me to do what I love."
THE LEGENDARY ART LINKLETTER HAS DIED:
TV legend ART LINKLETTER died yesterday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 97. --Linkletter's biggest claim to fame is "Kids Say the Darndest Things" . . . an interview segment he did for a variety show called "House Party", which ran from 1945 to 1969 on CBS radio and TV. --The concept was simple, but PURE GOLD: Linkletter would interview kids, and they would indeed say the darndest things. (???) --The idea was later revived by BILL COSBY for a 1998 primetime show. Linkletter made appearances on Cosby's version. --Linkletter also became an anti-drug crusader after his 20-year-old daughter Diana jumped to her death from a window while high on LSD in 1969.(--Here's some CLASSIC Art Linkletter magic . . .)

BRISTOL PALIN SAYS GETTING PREGNANT AT 17 KIND OF SUCKED:
In the new issue of "Harper's Bazaar", BRISTOL PALIN admits that getting pregnant at 17 wasn't all that cool. --She says, quote, "I was thinking], 'Great, I'm 17 years old, I'm 40 pounds overweight with a big belly on me, all my friends are at school watching this on the news. This kind of sucks." --She adds, quote, "I thought I would be somewhere warm at college with my friends, but that was definitely not possible with having Tripp." --Not that she doesn't love the kid. She says, quote, "I love my baby more than anything. He's like a Gerber baby. He's the cutest baby in the whole world . . . I just want Tripp to be happy and healthy." --Bristol would also like you to know that her parents had NO IDEA that she and LEVI JOHNSTON were having sex . . . quote, "It's not like we all sat down and were like, 'Alright, here's the birds and the bees.' --"Truly, my parents just assumed that I wasn't doing anything. And it was a shock for us all." --Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like things are all that great with Levi these days. Bristol says, quote, "He is a stranger to me . . . One day I will find a nice guy." --Bristol also says she wouldn't mind being First Daughter . . . quote, "I don't know if my mom will run [for president], but she should."
HAS MEGAN FOX'S "TRANSFORMERS" REPLACEMENT BEEN FOUND???
The World Wide Web of Misinformation says that a model by the name of ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY has been chosen to replace MEGAN FOX in "Transformers 3". --Rosie has been modeling since 2003 . . . and she's been with Victoria's Secret since 2006. But she has exactly ZERO acting credits on her resume. --If this is true, HEIDI MONTAG can give up her campaign to get the part. And that's a good thing. (--Heidi actually filmed herself busting caps at a shooting range, in an attempt to convince MICHAEL BAY to cast her. Check it out here . . .) http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=129624990386059
IS THERE A LIVE-ACTION "DILBERT" MOVIE IN THE WORKS???
Some movie websites are reporting that there's a live-action version of the comic strip "Dilbert" in the works. The word is that Ken Kwapis has been brought in to direct. --Kwapis is one of the producers of "The Office", and he's directed several episodes. --He has also directed the movies "She's Just Not that Into You", "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants", "License to Wed" and, perhaps most importantly, "Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird".
"GREASE" IS BEING RE-RELEASED IN THEATERS THIS SUMMER . . . IN A SING-ALONG VERSION:
If your idea of fun is sitting in a theater while a bunch of morons sing "You're the One that I Want", then I have your ticket: "Grease" is being re-released in theaters in July . . . in a SING-ALONG version. --That means the words to the songs will appear at the bottom of the screen, and the audience will be encouraged to belt them out. --Right now, it's only opening in select cities. But there's a website where you can DEMAND IT for your town. (--Here's the link, where you can also watch the trailer . . .)

LEE DEWYZE IS YOUR NEW "AMERICAN IDOL" . . . SIMON COWELL IS GONE . . . AND BRET MICHAELS IS EVERYWHERE:
LEE DEWYZE edged out CRYSTAL BOWERSOX to win "American Idol" last night. But it really wasn't about the boring contestants. The show was mostly about SIMON COWELL and the 18 trillion guest stars who showed up to perform. --The show went with its usual formula of having a contestant or contestants start singing a song . . . then having the artist who made that song popular come out and finish it off with them. --They kicked off the night the RIGHT way with ALICE COOPER . . . who busted onstage to add some much-needed ROCK AND ROLL to the cast's rendition of "School's Out". --Other performers included Christina Aguilera, Alanis Morissette, Chicago, Hall and Oates, the surviving members of the Bee Gees, Michael McDonald, Joe Cocker and Janet Jackson . . . (--Who looks frighteningly like her brother Jermaine with that new, short hairdo.) --But the biggest surprise had to be BRET MICHAELS . . . who did "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" with CASEY JAMES. And he looked and sounded A LOT better than he did at the "Celebrity Apprentice" finale this past Sunday. --They also brought back a very confused-sounding GENERAL LARRY PLATT for a more high-tech version of his now-classic groove, "Pants on the Ground". --And he was joined by a special guest star: WILLIAM HUNG. --But again, the night was mostly about Simon. There were several "comedic" video packages dedicated to him, and DANE COOK did a song incorporating some of the stuff he's said to crappy contestants over the years. --Then PAULA ABDUL made her return to the "Idol" stage to say goodbye. --She tried a little standup (slash) roasting, but she was serious when she said, quote, "I love all the fun we had together, I love all the laughter we shared together." --She added, quote, "[The show] is not going to be the same without you, but as only I can tell you, it will go on." --Then, all the previous "Idol" winners . . . except DAVID COOK, for some reason . . . started up a song, and were soon joined by a stage full of other former contestants . . . including THE INCOMPARABLE JUSTIN GUARINI!!! (--For those of you who don't remember them all, the other winners, in order, were: Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks, and Kris Allen. David won the seventh season.) --Simon himself then took the stage, and admitted he was a lot more emotional than he thought he'd be. --He said, quote, "I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support, the fun and your sense of humor. That's what's been the best part. It's been a blast. Thank you."
WILL "AMERICAN IDOL" REPLACE SIMON WITH . . . NO ONE?
Now that SIMON COWELL'S run on "American Idol" is officially over . . . there's probably going to be a RIDICULOUS amount of speculation about his replacement up until the day Fox finally makes the announcement. --But what if there's no big announcement? --E! Online says so-called "very reliable 'Idol' insiders" have told them that there's a chance Fox won't pick ANYONE to replace Simon. One source says, quote, "They most likely will have 'guest judges,' and not a single new Simon." --For what it's worth, KARA DIOGUARDI isn't down with that idea. She says, quote, "I guess there's that possibility, [but] I hope not."
ELLEN DEGENERES HAS STARTED A RECORD LABEL:
ELLEN DEGENERES is really taking this musical talent judge thing seriously. She's just started her own record label . . . called Eleven-Eleven . . . and signed her first artist: 12-year-old GREYSON CHANCE. --He's the latest YouTube sensation . . . whose talent show performance of LADY GAGA'S "Paparazzi" has been watched over 21 MILLION TIMES. (--It's actually pretty awesome. If you haven't seen it, you can watch it, here . . .) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxDlC7YV5is
TUESDAY NIGHT'S "AMERICAN IDOL" RATINGS SUCKED:
The ratings for last night's "American Idol" finale haven't been announced yet, but if they're anything like the ratings from Tuesday's performance show . . . "Idol" may be in some trouble. --19.6 million people tuned in on Tuesday night. That's down from last season, when 23 million viewers watched the second-to-last episode . . . and it's the lowest rated final performance episode since the first season, which had 18.7 million viewers --The peak came in Season Five, when 31.8 million people watched the final sing-off between TAYLOR HICKS and KATHARINE MCPHEE. --And it's been downhill since Season Seven, when 27.1 million watched the last DAVID COOK / DAVID ARCHULETA duel.
THE RATINGS FOR THE "DANCING WITH THE STARS" FINALE ALSO SUCKED:
Tuesday night's season finale of "Dancing with the Stars" attracted 18.1 million viewers. That may not sound too bad . . . but it's the lowest rated "Dancing" finale ever, according to Billboard.com. (--This past fall, "Dancing's" ninth season finale drew 19.2 million viewers.)
THERE'S MORE "LOST" COMING ON THE DVD:
Even two-and-a-half hours wasn't enough to completely end "Lost". --MICHAEL EMERSON . . . who played Ben . . . has revealed that there's MORE to the "Lost" ending, and it'll be included in the final DVD release. --He said, quote, "For those people that want to pony up and buy the complete 'Lost' series, there is a bonus feature. Which is um, you could call it an epilogue. --"[It's] a lost scene. It's a lot . . . it's 12 or 14 minutes that opens a window onto that gap of unknown time between Hurley becoming number one and the end of the series. --"It's self-contained. Although, it's a rich period in the show's mythology that's never been explored, so who knows what will come of it." (--E! Online insinuates that this feature will appear on the Sixth Season DVD, which will hit stores on August 24th with a list price of $59.99 on DVD and $79.99 on Blu-Ray. If that's the case . . . cool.) (--But Michael only mentions it being on the COMPLETE series DVD, which also comes out on August 24th. But that will run you anywhere from $150 to $230 for DVDs and between $200 and $280 for Blu-Rays. But if it's only on that one . . . that's uncool.) (--Especially for people who have already begun collecting the individual seasons, or just don't have $200 to $300 to spend on "Lost". But we don't know how it'll shake out yet. "Lost", naturally, isn't providing any answers.)
THURSDAY TV REMINDERS: (--Check your local listings.)
--"FlashForward" [1st Season Finale] . . . 8:00 to 9:00 P.M. on ABC. (--It's also the SERIES finale. This is one of the shows ABC chose not to bring back next year.)

The mall houses the Nickelodeon Universe theme park, a miniature golf course, a mirror maze, 90 full-size LEGO models, and an underwater aquarium.)
A HYPODERMIC NEEDLE AND A BOTTLE OF PILLS WERE FOUND NEXT TO PAUL GRAY'S BODY:
The autopsy performed on SLIPKNOT bassist PAUL GRAY may have come back inconclusive for now . . . but it's sounding more and more like a DRUG OVERDOSE. --The 911 call made after his body was discovered has surfaced, and the Iowa hotel employee who called it in said he suspected that it was an OD. --The man . . . who was a maintenance worker at the hotel . . . told the operator that there was a hypodermic needle and a bottle of pills near Paul's body. --He said that it appeared that Paul had been dead for a while and, quote, "his arms and legs are all purple." He also said that the hotel checked in on him after his mother called and told them she was having trouble reaching him. (--You can listen to the 911 call at the link below. It's graphic . . . and naturally, pretty morbid . . ..) http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_audio/052610_paul_grey_911.mp3 --Paul's body was found Monday morning. It's unclear how long he'd been dead at that point. A toxicology test was conducted . . . the results haven't come back yet. (--Paul had struggled with drug use in the past. In 2003, he was arrested after causing a car accident. He was charged with marijuana and cocaine possession, and driving under the influence of drugs.)
CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S EXCUSE FOR SCRAPPING HER SUMMER TOUR . . . IN HER OWN WORDS:
CHRISTINA AGUILERA scrapped her summer tour earlier this week . . . and her people insisted that it was because she didn't have enough time to prepare for it, NOT because of poor ticket sales. --Now, Christina has echoed that sentiment in an open letter to her fans, which was posted on her website. --She said, quote, "I made the decision to move my summer tour and I am truly sorry to those of you who had purchased tickets and have been disappointed by the news. --"Immediately after wrapping production on [my upcoming movie] 'Burlesque', I went directly back into the studio and then quickly started the promotional process for [my album] 'Bionic'. --"With both the album press and film press, I am booked the entire summer and need time to focus on the work at hand. --"After reviewing the schedule with my team, I realized there was not enough time to put together and rehearse for a proper show, one that is at the caliber you expect from me or at the level I would present to my fans. --"In addition, my album has not even been released as yet, and I would like for you all to become familiar with the music before you hear it live on tour. Again, I am sorry to have to move the dates but I promise to come see you when the time is right!" --There are two things here that don't seem to add up. --One, "Bionic" is scheduled to drop on June 8th . . . and the tour was set to run from July 15th in Uncasville, Connecticut, through August 19th in Irvine, California. --So unless Christina is planning on pushing the release date back . . . (--which we have NOT heard at this point) . . . her fans would have had over a month to hear the album before the tour began. --And regarding her busy schedule with "album press" this summer, don't you typically promote an album . . . by touring? --The tour will be rescheduled for next year . . . assuming Christina has time for it. (--Christina performed on the "American Idol" season finale last night. I don't know about you, but I would've enjoyed her performance more if I would've had the chance to "become more familiar with the music" before hearing it live on "Idol".)
ZACK DE LA ROCHA IS URGING MUSICIANS TO JOIN HIS BOYCOTT OF ARIZONA . . . BECAUSE OF THEIR NEW IMMIGRATION LAW:
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE superstar ZACK DE LA ROCHA has started a campaign called The Sound Strike, which asks artists to boycott Arizona. --Naturally, this is in response to the state's controversial new immigration law, which allows authorities to ask people they suspect of being illegal for either proof of citizenship or papers documenting their immigration status. (--The argument against this law is not to protect illegal immigrants . . . but to protect the rights of people who ARE legal, so that they aren't harassed in their own country, just because of the color of their skin or how they speak.) --In addition to Rage, the list of artists who have joined The Sound Strike so far includes: Cypress Hill, Kanye West, Bright Eyes singer Conor Oberst, Joe Satriani, Serj Tankian from System of a Down, Rise Against, Ozomatli . . . . . . Massive Attack, One Day as a Lion, Street Sweeper Social Club, Sonic Youth, Tenacious D, Spank Rock, Sabertooth Tiger, Juanes, Los Tigres del Norte, Cafe Tacvba, Calle 13 and filmmaker Michael Moore. --For more information and to get updates, hit up TheSoundStrike.net.

LADY ANTEBELLUM is going to be streaming their fan club party online. They're also going to donate all the profits to the Nashville flood relief efforts. The best part is you can listen to the show on their site for a measly five bucks. --Singer DAVE HAYWOOD explains, quote, "We want to keep doing our part because it isn't over yet. Music City has a long way to go. Streaming the event online is a cool way to include more of our fans in this event, and all the money goes to a great cause." --The fan club party (slash) concert is June 10th.

There were several "comedic" video packages dedicated to him, and DANE COOK did a song incorporating some of the stuff he's said to crappy contestants over the years. --Then PAULA ABDUL made her return to the "Idol" stage to say goodbye. --She tried a little standup (slash) roasting, but she was serious when she said, quote, "I love all the fun we had together, I love all the laughter we shared together." --She added, quote, "[The show] is not going to be the same without you, but as only I can tell you, it will go on." --Then, all the previous "Idol" winners . . . except DAVID COOK, for some reason . . . started up a song, and were soon joined by a stage full of other former contestants . . . including THE INCOMPARABLE JUSTIN GUARINI!!! (--For those of you who don't remember them all, the other winners, in order, were: Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks, and Kris Allen. David won the seventh season.) --Simon himself then took the stage, and admitted he was a lot more emotional than he thought he'd be. --He said, quote, "I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support, the fun and your sense of humor. That's what's been the best part. It's been a blast. Thank you."
WILL "AMERICAN IDOL" REPLACE SIMON WITH . . . NO ONE?
Now that SIMON COWELL'S run on "American Idol" is officially over . . . there's probably going to be a RIDICULOUS amount of speculation about his replacement up until the day Fox finally makes the announcement. --But what if there's no big announcement? --E! Online says so-called "very reliable 'Idol' insiders" have told them that there's a chance Fox won't pick ANYONE to replace Simon. One source says, quote, "They most likely will have 'guest judges,' and not a single new Simon." --For what it's worth, KARA DIOGUARDI isn't down with that idea. She says, quote, "I guess there's that possibility, [but] I hope not."
ELLEN DEGENERES HAS STARTED A RECORD LABEL:
ELLEN DEGENERES is really taking this musical talent judge thing seriously. She's just started her own record label . . . called Eleven-Eleven . . . and signed her first artist: 12-year-old GREYSON CHANCE. --He's the latest YouTube sensation . . . whose talent show performance of LADY GAGA'S "Paparazzi" has been watched over 21 MILLION TIMES. (--It's actually pretty awesome. If you haven't seen it, you can watch it, here . . .) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxDlC7YV5is
TUESDAY NIGHT'S "AMERICAN IDOL" RATINGS SUCKED:
The ratings for last night's "American Idol" finale haven't been announced yet, but if they're anything like the ratings from Tuesday's performance show . . . "Idol" may be in some trouble. --19.6 million people tuned in on Tuesday night. That's down from last season, when 23 million viewers watched the second-to-last episode . . . and it's the lowest rated final performance episode since the first season, which had 18.7 million viewers --The peak came in Season Five, when 31.8 million people watched the final sing-off between TAYLOR HICKS and KATHARINE MCPHEE. --And it's been downhill since Season Seven, when 27.1 million watched the last DAVID COOK / DAVID ARCHULETA duel.
THE RATINGS FOR THE "DANCING WITH THE STARS" FINALE ALSO SUCKED:
Tuesday night's season finale of "Dancing with the Stars" attracted 18.1 million viewers. That may not sound too bad . . . but it's the lowest rated "Dancing" finale ever, according to Billboard.com. (--This past fall, "Dancing's" ninth season finale drew 19.2 million viewers.)
THERE'S MORE "LOST" COMING ON THE DVD:
Even two-and-a-half hours wasn't enough to completely end "Lost". --MICHAEL EMERSON . . . who played Ben . . . has revealed that there's MORE to the "Lost" ending, and it'll be included in the final DVD release. --He said, quote, "For those people that want to pony up and buy the complete 'Lost' series, there is a bonus feature. Which is um, you could call it an epilogue. --"[It's] a lost scene. It's a lot . . . it's 12 or 14 minutes that opens a window onto that gap of unknown time between Hurley becoming number one and the end of the series. --"It's self-contained. Although, it's a rich period in the show's mythology that's never been explored, so who knows what will come of it." (--E! Online insinuates that this feature will appear on the Sixth Season DVD, which will hit stores on August 24th with a list price of $59.99 on DVD and $79.99 on Blu-Ray. If that's the case . . . cool.) (--But Michael only mentions it being on the COMPLETE series DVD, which also comes out on August 24th. But that will run you anywhere from $150 to $230 for DVDs and between $200 and $280 for Blu-Rays. But if it's only on that one . . . that's uncool.) (--Especially for people who have already begun collecting the individual seasons, or just don't have $200 to $300 to spend on "Lost". But we don't know how it'll shake out yet. "Lost", naturally, isn't providing any answers.)

A HYPODERMIC NEEDLE AND A BOTTLE OF PILLS WERE FOUND NEXT TO PAUL GRAY'S BODY:
The autopsy performed on SLIPKNOT bassist PAUL GRAY may have come back inconclusive for now . . . but it's sounding more and more like a DRUG OVERDOSE. --The 911 call made after his body was discovered has surfaced, and the Iowa hotel employee who called it in said he suspected that it was an OD. --The man . . . who was a maintenance worker at the hotel . . . told the operator that there was a hypodermic needle and a bottle of pills near Paul's body. --He said that it appeared that Paul had been dead for a while and, quote, "his arms and legs are all purple." He also said that the hotel checked in on him after his mother called and told them she was having trouble reaching him. (--You can listen to the 911 call at the link below. It's graphic . . . and naturally, pretty morbid . . ..) http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_audio/052610_paul_grey_911.mp3 --Paul's body was found Monday morning. It's unclear how long he'd been dead at that point. A toxicology test was conducted . . . the results haven't come back yet. (--Paul had struggled with drug use in the past. In 2003, he was arrested after causing a car accident. He was charged with marijuana and cocaine possession, and driving under the influence of drugs.)
CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S EXCUSE FOR SCRAPPING HER SUMMER TOUR . . . IN HER OWN WORDS:
CHRISTINA AGUILERA scrapped her summer tour earlier this week . . . and her people insisted that it was because she didn't have enough time to prepare for it, NOT because of poor ticket sales. --Now, Christina has echoed that sentiment in an open letter to her fans, which was posted on her website. --She said, quote, "I made the decision to move my summer tour and I am truly sorry to those of you who had purchased tickets and have been disappointed by the news. --"Immediately after wrapping production on [my upcoming movie] 'Burlesque', I went directly back into the studio and then quickly started the promotional process for [my album] 'Bionic'. --"With both the album press and film press, I am booked the entire summer and need time to focus on the work at hand. --"After reviewing the schedule with my team, I realized there was not enough time to put together and rehearse for a proper show, one that is at the caliber you expect from me or at the level I would present to my fans. --"In addition, my album has not even been released as yet, and I would like for you all to become familiar with the music before you hear it live on tour. Again, I am sorry to have to move the dates but I promise to come see you when the time is right!" --There are two things here that don't seem to add up. --One, "Bionic" is scheduled to drop on June 8th . . . and the tour was set to run from July 15th in Uncasville, Connecticut, through August 19th in Irvine, California. --So unless Christina is planning on pushing the release date back . . . (--which we have NOT heard at this point) . . . her fans would have had over a month to hear the album before the tour began. --And regarding her busy schedule with "album press" this summer, don't you typically promote an album . . . by touring? --The tour will be rescheduled for next year . . . assuming Christina has time for it. (--Christina performed on the "American Idol" season finale last night. I don't know about you, but I would've enjoyed her performance more if I would've had the chance to "become more familiar with the music" before hearing it live on "Idol".)
ZACK DE LA ROCHA IS URGING MUSICIANS TO JOIN HIS BOYCOTT OF ARIZONA . . . BECAUSE OF THEIR NEW IMMIGRATION LAW:
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE superstar ZACK DE LA ROCHA has started a campaign called The Sound Strike, which asks artists to boycott Arizona. --Naturally, this is in response to the state's controversial new immigration law, which allows authorities to ask people they suspect of being illegal for either proof of citizenship or papers documenting their immigration status. (--The argument against this law is not to protect illegal immigrants . . . but to protect the rights of people who ARE legal, so that they aren't harassed in their own country, just because of the color of their skin or how they speak.) --In addition to Rage, the list of artists who have joined The Sound Strike so far includes: Cypress Hill, Kanye West, Bright Eyes singer Conor Oberst, Joe Satriani, Serj Tankian from System of a Down, Rise Against, Ozomatli . . . . . . Massive Attack, One Day as a Lion, Street Sweeper Social Club, Sonic Youth, Tenacious D, Spank Rock, Sabertooth Tiger, Juanes, Los Tigres del Norte, Cafe Tacvba, Calle 13 and filmmaker Michael Moore. --For more information and to get updates, hit up TheSoundStrike.net.
LADY ANTEBELLUM WILL BE STREAMING THEIR FAN CLUB PARTY . . . AND DONATING THE PROFITS TO THE NASHVILLE FLOOD RELIEF EFFORTS:
LADY ANTEBELLUM is going to be streaming their fan club party online. They're also going to donate all the profits to the Nashville flood relief efforts. The best part is you can listen to the show on their site for a measly five bucks. --Singer DAVE HAYWOOD explains, quote, "We want to keep doing our part because it isn't over yet. Music City has a long way to go. Streaming the event online is a cool way to include more of our fans in this event, and all the money goes to a great cause." --The fan club party (slash) concert is June 10th. If you want to sign-up to watch the live stream, just hit up their site, www.ladyantebellum.com.
NAZZY’S RANDOM STUFF
A TEENAGE DRIVER HELD HIS BREATH ON A DARE FOR SO LONG THAT HE PASSED OUT AT THE WHEEL AND CRASHED INTO A BOULDER:
Just when you thought teenagers couldn't possibly get any dumber, some bonehead comes along and proves us all wrong. In this case, that bonehead is 19-year-old Bryan Parslow of Caledonia, New York (--about 50 miles east of Buffalo). --On Monday, Bryan was driving around with his friends when they reached a small town called Garbutt. --Being the geniuses they clearly are, the guys decided they were all going to play a game. It involved HOLDING THEIR BREATH for the entire time it took them to pass through the town. Garbutt's just a third of a mile long, so it didn't seem that difficult. --Unfortunately, Bryan held his breath for so long that he PASSED OUT at the wheel, his car veered off the road, hit a tree, and slammed into a boulder at 55 miles per hour. --Amazingly, Bryan and his friends all survived the crash with just a few broken bones and some other minor injuries. And Bryan's only punishment for his idiocy was a traffic ticket for failing to stay in his lane. --According to a guy who witnessed the crash, quote, "We couldn't really come up with any reason for why they would've gone off the road. So now it makes sense . . . Hopefully they'll get their thrills a different way after this." (WHEC News 10 - Rochester)
A TERRORIST USED AUTO-TUNE TO MAKE A CRAPPY SONG ABOUT OSAMA BIN LADEN:
--Earlier this month, jihadist Asadaullah Alshishani recorded a song dedicated to OSAMA BIN LADEN. It's called "Amir of the Ansar" and it's just as bad as you think. Actually, it's WORSE than you think. --Asadaullah sings, quote, "You fight America, and terrorize the Jews . . . and blow up the Hindus." Pretty much what you'd expect from one of these idiots. --But perhaps even more offensive is that Asadaullah uses that stupid "Auto-Tune" voice-effect that makes you sound like a robot. --You know what I'm talking about . . . it's the same effect rappers like KANYE WEST and LIL WAYNE use to trick people into thinking they can sing. (Wired)
YOU CAN BUY THE HOUSE FROM "THE AMITYVILLE HORROR" FOR $1.15 MILLION:
If you're in the market for some real estate, the house from "The Amityville Horror" is up for sale. I'm talking about the ACTUAL house, in Amityville, New York, about an hour east of New York City. Not the one in the movie. (--The one in the movie is in Toms River, New Jersey, about an hour SOUTH of New York. But they made it look like the real house, and the studio used photos of the real house to promote the movie.) --It's 3,600 square feet, with five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, a detached garage, and a boathouse. The list price is $1.15 MILLION. --And it's where a guy named Ronald DeFeo Jr. shot and killed six members of his family in 1974. The family that moved in afterwards claimed they had to leave after 28 days, because of paranormal activity. --The property's been renovated since the original movie came out in 1979, and it looks pretty different now. And the current owners say they haven't had problems with ghosts, and the walls have never oozed blood. (Consumerist)

THE BEST CITY IN THE WORLD IS . . . VIENNA, AUSTRIA:
Yesterday, an investment services company called Mercer released its annual Quality of Living Survey. --It ranks the world's 221 largest cities based on a bunch of different factors including crime, the economy, personal freedom, climate, housing, air pollution and schools.
--According to the survey, here are the ten best cities in the world:
#1.) Vienna, Austria
#2.) Zurich, Switzerland
#3.) Geneva, Switzerland
#4.) Vancouver, Canada
#5.) Auckland, New Zealand
#6.) Dusseldorf, Germany
#7.) Frankfurt, Germany
#8.) Munich, Germany
#9.) Bern, Switzerland
#10.) Sydney, Australia
--If you're wondering, the highest-ranking American city on the list is Honolulu, at number 31. It's followed by San Francisco at number 33, and Boston at number 39. --Chicago and Washington, D.C., are tied at number 45. Then it's New York City at number 49, and Seattle at number 50. --Port-au-Prince, Haiti, came in at number 213. --And Baghdad, Iraq, was ranked the worst city in the world at number 221.

WHY WORK OUT WHEN YOU CAN FREEZE THE FAT OUT OF YOUR BODY?
People of girth: There's nothing we'd all love more than to lose a few pounds. The only problem is . . . we're also all very lazy. Which is why THIS just might be the best thing ever . . . --Last year, a handful of doctors started performing a procedure that's similar to liposuction, except it's non-surgical, and it doesn't require any recovery time. --It's called Cryolipolysis (--pronounced "CRY-OH-lie-PAHL-eh-sis"). It's a painless, non-invasive way to break down fat cells by FREEZING them off. --A dermatologist named Dr. David Goldberg developed the procedure. --He's tested it on 200 patients, and he says just a single three-hour "cooling" treatment can cause up to a 25% reduction of fat cells over the next two to four months. --It sounds amazing, right? But before you run out and drop $1,500 on it, there are a couple things you should know:
#1.) The FDA has NOT approved it as a fat remover. That doesn't mean you can't get it . . . it's perfectly legal if your doctor recommends it. It just means the FDA doesn't condone it.
#2.) It's NOT covered by health insurance. (ABC News / AOL News)
2.3% OF PEOPLE CONSTANTLY THINK THEY REEK, EVEN THOUGH THEY SMELL JUST FINE:
I just heard of a bizarre new condition that affects 2.3% of the population. It's called Olfactory Reference Syndrome . . . or ORS for short. --Basically, people who suffer from ORS constantly think they STINK . . . even when they don't . . . and it totally screws up their lives. --Dr. Katharine Phillips is a psychiatrist at Brown University. She says, quote, "This disorder causes a lot of pain, shame and self-consciousness among its victims . . . ORS is very under-recognized, but I would say it's more common than we know.
--On that note, check out some stats about ORS: --Experts say 60% of ORS sufferers are women, and most start worrying about their body odor around the age of 15. --75% of ORS sufferers are always worried their breath stinks, 60% are concerned about their armpits, and 35% live in a state of perpetual fear that their GENITALS smell like rotting garbage. --80% of ORS sufferers constantly sniff themselves to check their odor. 68% deal with their ORS by showering excessively, and 50% change their clothes several times a day. --Overall, the average ORS sufferer spends three to eight hours a day completely preoccupied with how they smell. --But here's the thing: ORS may sound like a joke, and it is kind of funny. But it's also pretty serious. --According to experts, about 40% of ORS sufferers have confined themselves to their homes for a week or more because they're so worried they reek. --What's worse is TWO in THREE ORS sufferers have thought about committing suicide, while a THIRD have actually tried to go through with it.

NAZZY’S SILLY VIDEOS OF THE DAY
#1.) A REPORTER FREAKED OUT WHEN A GUY KEPT TOUCHING HIM:
A reporter named DAN NOYES was trying to do a story about the Laguna Honda Hospital in San Francisco, and whether the staff stole money from a hospital fund. But the hospital spokesman, a guy named MARC SLAVIN, wouldn't stop touching him. --The reporter repeatedly told the guy NOT to touch him, but he wouldn't listen, and kept putting his hand on the reporter's shoulder. It may not sound interesting, but it's awkward and hilarious. (--Search for "reporter doesn't like being touched.")

#2.) A GUY FELL THROUGH HIS OFFICE CEILING:
We're not sure if it's a prank or what, but there's security camera footage of three girls sitting in a tiny office . . . then a guy falls through the ceiling and lands on them. (--Search for "falls through office ceiling.")

A bridge in southern Russia was closed after it started wobbling back and forth in the wind. (--Search for "Volgograd Russia bridge wind.") http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9bynDA9fSc

#5.) A FLORIDA STRIP CLUB PUT UP A SIGN THAT SAYS "NOW HIRING THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 2010":
A strip club in Jacksonville, Florida, posted a sign that says, "Now Hiring The Graduating Class Of 2010." The owner thinks it's funny considering the lack of jobs available for recent graduates. But some people don't think it's funny at all. --Naturally, there's an amusing, poorly produced local news report on the story. (--Search for "Centerfold club Jacksonville Florida now hiring 2010 graduating class.") http://www.fox5vegas.com/video/23680748/index.html
FIVE HOUSEHOLD ITEMS WITH OTHER USES:
You've probably seen those lists about "other" uses for regular household items. But there's a new one from Prevention.com that's pretty good, because the secondary uses for some of these things are just bizarre. Here are the top five . . .
#1.) USE ALKA-SELTZER ON INSECT BITES. It has aspirin in it, which helps if the bites are itchy or painful. Calamine lotion has zinc oxide in it, which can dry out your skin. But Alka-Setzer won't. Plus, it works faster. --If you want to try it, crush up one Alka-Seltzer tablet, mix it with water, and add a pinch of oatmeal, which also soothes your skin. Then just rub it on. The bug bite should feel better immediately.
#2.) USE MOUTHWASH TO PREVENT ATHLETE'S FOOT. Pour some on a cotton ball, then rub it all over the bottoms of your feet and in between your toes after you shower. --The only catch is, it has to have alcohol in it because that's what makes it work, and some types of mouthwash are alcohol-free, like ACT or Tom's Of Maine.
#3.) USE ALOE VERA TO GET RID OF CANKER SORES. Aloe vera has vitamins and amino acids that repair damaged tissue. And a study found that people healed 50% faster if they applied aloe vera directly to their canker sores.
#4.) USE NASAL SPRAY TO STOP A NOSEBLEED. Most nosebleeds can be stopped by just pinching your nose for 10 to 20 minutes. But if that doesn't work, try a nasal spray like Afrin or Mucinex. --About two-thirds of people who go to the emergency room for nosebleeds are successfully treated with oxymetazoline (--pronounced oxy-meta-ZOH-leen), which is the active ingredient in nasal sprays like Afrin and Mucinex.
#5.) USE BAKING SODA ON IRRITATED SKIN. It takes the sting out of sunburns, and it helps with itchiness and discomfort if you have eczema or get poison ivy. --If you must know, it's because baking soda is sodium bicarbonate . . . a mild alkaline compound that can get the pH balance of your skin back to normal. The best way to use it is to draw a bath, then pour in one cup of baking soda. --Make sure you mix it in really well so it completely dissolves. Then just soak in the tub for about 30 minutes.
