HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW (08-06-10)
ENRIQUE IGLESIAS DID HIS NAKED WATER-SKIING THING:
ENRIQUE IGLESIAS promised to water ski naked in Miami if Spain won the World Cup. They did . . . and finally, so did he.
--He did it at night, within the last few days, and there's video. Unfortunately, it's grainy and shaky and there's not much in the way of GOOD STUFF FOR THE LADIES. (--Here's the video . . .) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMhkjjoS--o
MARK WAHLBERG REGRETS DEDICATING HIS 1992 MEMOIR TO HIS PENIS:
Back when he was MARKY MARK . . . leader of THE FUNKY BUNCH . . . MARK WAHLBERG did some crazy things. One of them was dedicating his 1992 memoir . . . (--which was unimaginatively titled "Marky Mark") . . . to his penis. --Now that he's older . . . and a dad . . . he regrets it. He tells "Time" magazine, quote, "I thought it would be funny." Asked if his penis was grateful for the shout-out, Mark said, quote, "That is the one question I won't answer." --In plenty of interviews over the years, Mark has tried pretty hard to distance himself from his Marky Mark days. But he says he could be pulled back into the rap game by one person and one person only. -That person is JUSTIN BIEBER. --Mark says, quote, "If Justin Bieber asks me [to lay down a rap track for him], I'll say yes. Only because my daughter loves him."
MMA STUD ROGER HUERTA DISCUSSES BEATING DOWN A GUY WHO HIT A WOMAN:
Mixed martial arts fighter ROGER HUERTA became a hero to MILLIONS when that video hit the web of him beating down a guy who'd just punched a woman outside a club. -Roger didn't know the guy, or the woman. He just saw badness happen, and he CORRECTED IT. Like Batman. --Well, Roger spoke with TMZ about it yesterday . . . and if it's possible, he came out sounding even MORE manly. He said, quote, "I just don't think that it's right to hit a woman. Period. --"If that was my mom, if that was my sister, my spouse, anyone . . . I would've wanted someone to step in and do something about it." --Roger says he approached the guy calmly at first, but the dude started swearing at him and taking off his shirt. So Roger took care of business. He says the other guy swung on him first, and, quote, "I got the better of him and I left." --Meanwhile, TMZ says police are investigating the incident. They have yet to identify the other guy or the woman. --But here's some good news: Roger isn't going to lose his job with Bellator, which is the company he currently fights for. The CEO says, quote, "Roger is in no danger at all of being removed from Bellator based on this situation."
"QUEER AS FOLK" STAR HAL SPARKS MAY HAVE SAVED A LIFE WITH CPR:
Comedian HAL SPARKS . . . (--You may remember him from "Queer as Folk", or as one of the hosts of "Talk Soup") . . . may have saved a life. --Hal performed CPR on an older man who collapsed at Los Angeles International Airport Wednesday night. Hal did mouth-to-mouth while a woman performed chest compressions, until paramedics arrived and took over. There's no word on the guy's condition. --Hal Tweeted, quote, "Just did CPR for the 3rd time in my life. What a night . . . When they took him away he was breathing on his own . . . Hope he makes it. --"Everybody NEEDS to take a CPR class. Out of 200 people only 2 of us knew CPR . . . okay enough preaching . . . I need a nap."

A teaser trailer for "The Avengers" hit the web yesterday. It's just SAMUEL L. JACKSON doing a voiceover while the logo slowly emerges from the darkness. But if you're into comics and / or superhero movies, that's probably more than enough for you.

NIGEL LYTHGOE WOULD BE COOL WITH PAULA ABDUL COMING BACK TO "AMERICAN IDOL":
"American Idol" executive producer NIGEL LYTHGOE . . . who just returned to the show after leaving two years ago . . . still has mad love for PAULA ABDUL. (--Nigel is also the head judge on "So You Think You Can Dance".) --In fact, he wouldn't mind seeing Paula return to the judging panel. --He tells "Variety", quote, "I still love Paula. She's signed to CBS, probably exclusively, but I'd recommend we have her in a heartbeat." (--Back in May, CBS hired Paula to be the lead judge on an upcoming show called "Got to Dance". It's based on a British show, which is a lot like "So You Think You Can Dance" . . . except that it's less about learning choreography.) (--If "Idol" keeps the four-judge format, there are TWO open seats on the panel: SIMON COWELL'S and ELLEN DEGENERES'. There may also be a third, if the rumors that KARA DIOGUARDI'S firing are true.) (--AEROSMITH singer STEVEN TYLER and JENNIFER LOPEZ are supposedly in line to become judges . . . but there's still no official word on either of them.)
AEROSMITH GUITARIST JOE PERRY DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHY STEVEN TYLER WOULD WANT TO DO "AMERICAN IDOL":
Earlier this week, AEROSMITH guitarist JOE PERRY said that he found out about STEVEN TYLER'S talks with "American Idol" like the rest of us . . . on the Internet. And he didn't seem too happy about that. --And on Wednesday, in a radio interview . .. . . he added that he doesn't understand why Steven would be interested in the job in the first place. --He said, quote, "I was taken totally by surprise […] why would he wanna do that instead of cruise on with Aerosmith? We've got an album that we wanna do, we wanna do another tour . . . we've got so many things lined up, and then this happens. --"If that's what you really have to do . . . let's talk about it, let's plan it out, you know what I mean?! We've all got families, we've all got different things going on, we've all got different things we could do. It's like getting hit over the head."
WAS DAVID GEFFEN AT THE TOP OF "AMERICAN IDOL'S" LIST?
Deadline.com reports that music industry "mogul" DAVID GEFFEN was at the top of "American Idol's" the wish list to replace SIMON COWELL. --A "source" says, quote, "It would have been his if he'd wanted it. Because Cowell is a bad imitation of David." It's unclear what happened, but apparently they weren't able to talk him into it. (--Geffen was "unavailable" to comment on this story.)
MARY HART IS LEAVING "ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT":
MARY HART has announced that she'll be leaving "Entertainment Tonight" after the show's upcoming, 30th season. "ET" premiered a year before she joined, so when she leaves, she'll have been with it for 29 years. --Mary released a statement saying, quote, "I've had the privilege of spending 29 years doing something I love . . . how often does that happen? --"I only meant to be at 'ET' for three years . . . [but] suddenly it's almost 30! I've reached a point when I clearly realize it's time for a change. There are many things I want to do in my life and I'd better get on with them." --Her final season will begin on September 13th. --There's no official word on a replacement . . . but RadarOnline.com says "Insider" host LARA SPENCER has been tapped to take over for Mary. (--Well, don't be too quick to believe that. This is just the beginning.) (--If we've learned anything from "American Idol's" wild SIMON COWELL situation, it's that this will surely be the beginning of a NEVER-ENDING WHIRLWIND of insane speculation and "source-confirmed" rumors.) (???)
ROSIE O'DONNELL WILL BE RETURNING TO DAYTIME TV . . . ON OPRAH WINFREY'S NEW NETWORK:
ROSIE O'DONNELL will be a daytime talk show host again.

MEAT LOAF IS TICKED THAT HIS LATEST ALBUM DIDN'T GET MORE ATTENTION FROM HIS RECORD LABELS . . . OR THE CRITICS:
MEAT LOAF doesn't think that his record labels . . . (--Roadrunner and Loud & Proud) . . . did enough to promote his last album, "Hang Cool Teddy Bear". --The album found success in Europe, Australia and New Zealand . . . but he says, quote, "[My] record company in the United States has just botched the hell out of it." --And he also didn't think music critics took the album seriously . . . (--although honestly, if that's what he was going for, the decision to name the album "Hang Cool Teddy Bear" probably didn't help.) --He says, quote, "The album is much more intellectual than people will ever give me credit for. I'm easy to dismiss. This is the album U2 wished they had recorded." (--"Hang Cool Teddy Bear" is a concept album . . . naturally . . . about a fictional wounded soldier, whose life flashes before his eyes.)
WEEZER WILL RELEASE THEIR NEXT ALBUM IN SEPTEMBER:
WEEZER have announced that their next album will hit stores on September 14th. Sadly, this is another album that WILL have a title . . . not another self-titled disc that will be known by the color of its cover. --The title is "Hurley". (--The last three years have been prolific for Weezer. "The Red Album" came out in June of 2008 and "Raditude" was out last October.)
THIS JUST IN: THE BEACH BOYS AREN'T SUING KATY PERRY:
At this point, chances are, you're EXTREMELY familiar with the KATY PERRY hit "California Gurls". It's easily the most over-played song of the summer . . . (--that and, well, anything by EMINEM.) --If that's the case, you know that at the very end of the song, SNOOP DOGG says, quote, "I really wish you all could be California girls." --Well, that line is causing some problems . . . apparently because it's similar to the chorus of THE BEACH BOYS' classic "California Girls", which was "I wish they all could be California girls." --There's been talk that the line might invite a lawsuit . . . yes, over that (???) . . . but that probably won't happen. --The Beach Boys' MIKE LOVE . . . who wrote the song with BRIAN WILSON . . . says he doesn't have a problem with it. He says, quote, "The Beach Boys are definitely not suing Katy Perry . . . . . . "In fact we're flattered that her fantastically successful song is bringing to mind to millions of people our 1965 recording of the Beach Boys' 'California Girls'. We think her song is great and wish her all the success in the world." --But the company that owns the rights to the Beach Boys' song, Rondor Music, isn't so forgiving. A rep says they aren't suing Katy, but they do think Katy should hit them up with partial credit and some royalty money. (--Yeah. Good luck with that.)
KANYE WEST JUST WENT THROUGH THE "DARKEST YEAR OF HIS CAREER":
KANYE WEST has called the last year . . . since last September's "Video Music Awards", when he notoriously interrupted TAYLOR SWIFT . . . the, quote, "darkest year of his career." --In a series of messages on Twitter, Kanye says, quote, "People are so scared of pain, hurt and embarrassment that no one takes risks anymore . . . I've made so many mistakes that made me better today. --"I've been hurt and embarrassed, but I still believe in good will. Give of yourself with no fear and one day he'll have you in the clear. --"He returns the blessings you give 10-fold. I feel God's light shining through my darkest year of my life and career. I feel the glow again. --"I will be a better man, friend, role model, citizen, blogger, tweeter, artist, creator, giver, thinker, motivator and person. IFEELTHEGLOW."
NELLY'S NEXT ALBUM HAS A RELEASE DATE:
NELLY'S next album, "5.0", is set to drop on November 16th. That is all.
NAZZY’S RANDOM STUFF
A NEW STUDY PROVES THAT MEN AND WOMEN CONTRIBUTE EQUALLY AROUND THE HOUSE:
This is some FANTASTIC ammo for every guy out there who gets yelled at for not doing his share of the housework. According to a new study by the London School of Economics, you're doing MORE than enough. --They found that the average man and woman contribute an equal share of hours to work . . . either at paid jobs or unpaid housework. --The study was actually led by a woman named Doctor Catherine Hakim. (--What a sell-out!) --She says that the average woman tends to cut down on office work once she has children, to take care of them and do housework . . . and men usually compensate by working extra hours or overtime. --In the end, both genders end up working the same amount for the sake of their family. --The only scenario where women get screwed is if she's part of a couple where both people have full-time jobs and they don't have kids. Then she ends up working more total hours than a man. --The study also found that 69% of women believe the best life is one with an equal work and family balance. 17% just want to focus on a family and 14% only want to focus on work. (Daily Mail)
MEN ARE MORE PARANOID ABOUT HAVING THEIR HAIR TURN GRAY THAN LOSING THEIR HAIR ALTOGETHER?
These are the results from a survey of British men . . . so either they have VERY different vanity issues than we do . . . or I was asleep on the day that everyone decided going bald ISN'T that bad. -The survey asked men to name their biggest concern about their appearance, and GOING GRAY actually beat out BALDING. Here are the top five concerns, in order:
#1.) Having their hair turn gray.
#2.) Balding.
#3.) Unwanted nose, ear and body hair.
#4.) Being overweight.
#5.) Yellow teeth.
--The survey also found that men REALLY start becoming unhappy with their looks at age 45. (Yahoo News)
A POLICE OFFICER IN UTAH IS FIRED FOR LETTING A WOMAN FLASH HER BREASTS TO GET OUT OF A DUI:
--On July 23rd, officer Jeffery Westerman arrived on the scene of an accident . . . a 29-year-old woman was driving drunk, and hit another car. When Westerman got there, he sent the other driver away and performed some field sobriety tests on the woman. --She failed them, and that's when Westerman decided to give her a choice: He'd either arrest her for a DUI . . . or he'd let her go, if she'd lift up her shirt and show him her breasts. --She took option B. And when she lifted up her shirt, Westerman got closer, fondled her and, according to reports, quote, "made crude sexual comments." --Once she put her shirt down, Westerman told her to lift it right back up . . . after all, letting someone out of a DUI was a big deal. She did, he fondled her again, and then he got in his car and drove away. --The woman decided that she couldn't let him get away with that . . . so she went to the police HERSELF to file a complaint. --Westerman was dumb enough to do the fondling while the CAMERA was on in his squad car . . . so when his bosses reviewed the footage, they saw the entire flashing and groping process. --He was fired from the force and has been arrested. He's looking at two felony charges: Forcible sexual abuse and obstruction of justice. The woman has not been charged with a DUI or for any other offense. (Salt Lake Tribute)
A MAN IS BUSTED FOR BREAKING INTO THE SAME HOUSE FOR A SECOND TIME . . . AND CLAIMS HE WAS JUST LEAVING A THANK YOU NOTE:
And now . . . your Meatball Criminal of the Day! Today's big winner is 39-year-old Gerald Maxwell of Sarasota, Florida, who loves breaking into houses . . . lying to the police . . . and, most importantly, hittin' the old crack pipe. --Last year, Gerald broke into a house on a street called Chippewa Place in Sarasota. He was caught . . . marking his fifth burglary arrest in two years. So he ended up doing a year in jail. --Now he's out on probation. And on Tuesday night, the police busted Gerald again . . . for breaking into the EXACT SAME HOUSE on Chippewa Place. --When they arrested him, Gerald tried to explain it was all a misunderstanding. He wasn't robbing the place . . . he was, quote, "going back in there to leave a thank you note." --BUT . . . inside the house, the police found a broken window, several dresser drawers open, and jewelry collected near a CRACK PIPE. That made them think perhaps Gerald WASN'T just in the house to leave a note like he said. --He was arrested . . . taking his total up to six burglaries in three years . . . with one of those years spent in jail. He's being held without bond. (ABC 7 - Sarasota)
KIDS WITH TONGUE RINGS END UP COSTING THEIR PARENTS MORE IN ORTHODONTIST BILLS:
I shouldn't have to tell you to BAN your teenage daughter from getting a tongue ring. Assuming your lifelong goal is to follow CHRIS ROCK'S advice and "keep her off the pole" . . . a tongue ring works in DIRECT OPPOSITION to your mission. --But if you want a reason BESIDES that obvious one, here ya go. A new study finds that kids with tongue rings cost their parents more money in orthodontist bills. --Most people who get a tongue ring end up developing a habit of pushing it up against their front teeth. Over time, that can lead to the teeth shifting and GAPS forming . . . which means it'll be time for BRACES. (Parent Dish)
NAZZY’S SILLY VIDEOS OF THE DAY
#1.) SHAQUILLE O'NEAL AND JUSTIN BIEBER PRACTICED FOR THEIR UPCOMING DANCE-OFF ON "SHAQ VS.":
The second season of "Shaq Vs." premiered on Tuesday, and on an upcoming episode, SHAQUILLE O'NEAL will go up against JUSTIN BIEBER in a DANCE-OFF. --There's a new video on YouTube that shows Bieber practicing at a dance studio in Phoenix. Then Shaq shows up and starts practicing with the back-up dancers . . . which is hilarious, since they're all so short. And at one point Shaq does the robot. (--Search for "Shaq vs. Justin Bieber dance studio Phoenix video." Shaq starts dancing at 1:11 and does the robot at 1:24.)

FIVE THINGS MEN SAY, AND WHAT THEY *REALLY* MEAN:
Match.com talked to guys and relationship experts to find out what guys REALLY mean when they say the things they say. Here are five common things men say to women, and what they REALLY mean . . .
#1.) "WE SHOULD HANG OUT SOME TIME." What he's REALLY saying is, "I don't want to ask you out and getting rejected, so first I'm checking to see if you're interested."
--If you say yes and give him your number, he knows you really ARE interested. But if you say yes and then make some excuse to leave the room, he knows you're not.
#2.) "I LIKE YOUR SHOES." It means he's physically attracted to you. What's he's REALLY saying is, "I like your LEGS."
#3.) "I THINK I'M FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU." It means, "I'm really close to saying the L-word, but I can't bring myself to say it just yet." And he wants to make sure that when he DOES say it, you'll say it back.
#4.) "YOU'RE TOO GOOD FOR ME." According to Match.com, it means he's just trying to dump you without actually having to DO it or feel BAD about it.
--But they don't take into account how many guys have low self-esteem. And if he says you deserve someone better, he might just be trying to break up with you before YOU break up with HIM.
#5.) "MAYBE WE SHOULD TAKE A BREAK." What he really means is, "I want to keep my options open." And even if he SAYS you'll end up together, you probably won't. Because if he's keeping his OPTIONS open, chances are he's not "the one." (Match.com)
FIVE HOT-WEATHER DATE IDEAS:
It's the first week of August, which means it's the dead of summer. But you can't let hot, nasty, sticky weather prevent you from getting . . . hot, nasty, and sticky. So here are five date ideas that are actually perfect for hot weather.
#1.) TRY A NEW WATER SPORT. Go kayaking, or take a surfing lesson together.
#2.) WANDER AROUND AN ULTRA-AIR-CONDITIONED PLACE. Head to a place where the A/C is always working overtime: Like a museum, a movie theater, or the bowling alley.
#3.) HIT UP A WATER PARK. Try going on a weekday when it's less crowded. Or if you want to save some cash, set up a Slip 'N' Slide right in your yard.
#4.) GO FOR A DRIVE. As long as your air conditioner's going strong and you're both down with a scenic road-trip, just go for a drive. The idea is to get out of the heat, but still feel like you're going somewhere.
#5.) GET SOME DRINKS AT AN OUTDOOR BAR. Even though it's hot as hell, it's still nice to be outside when you're on a date. So if you're going for drinks, hit a bar with a shady patio . . . or a place that has those sprinkler things that pump out mist. (Glamour)
SITE FOR SORE EYES:
www.rekn.it
Now this is a unique idea! If you’ve got an old sweater that’s too small, out of date or you’re just tired of – just ship it and get it Rekn.it’d! A mom and son are behind Rekn.it – a website devoted to upcycling old sweaters. Each month they pick a new object, be it socks, a laptop case, a hat, cutoff gloves, scarves, doggy sweaters, etc. and the mom gets to town, unraveling the sweater and re-knitting it into the new item. As the narrator behind the site reminds visitors, since he’s only got one momma, they have limited it to creating 30 upcycled items per month. So you’ll have to stay tuned to their Twitter or Facebook feed to catch the announcement on the next batch. And they are looking for other Rekn.itting moms!
THE FRIDAY 5:
Top 5 Product Wording – And What They Really Mean
5. Exclusive - Imported from China.
4. Unmatched - Almost as good as the real thing.
3. Advanced Design - The ad agency trying to come up with a commercial for it don’t have a clue about it.
2. Field Tested - Manufacturer lacks real testing equipment.
1. Futuristic – That’s why it’s so ugly.
World’s Scariest Airports
SmarterTravel has released its list of the World’s Scariest Airports for take-offs and landings. Highlights include limited visibility landings, inconveniently placed volcanoes, and runways formed when the tide goes out. If you have even the slightest fear of flying, you’ll want to steer clear of these airports!
1. Barra Airport, Barra, Scotland – It’s always a beach landing and runways form when the tide goes out, so timing is literally EVERYTHING.
2. Gibraltar Airport, Gibraltar – The main road to Spain intersects the runway!
3. Toncontin International Airport, Tegucigalpa, Honduras – A 45-degree bank and quick drop in altitude as the pilot approaches can make even the most confident pilots fill their pants.
4. Nantucket Memorial Airport, Nantucket, Massachusetts – Fog often forces pilots to rely solely on instruments when landing.
5. Paro Airport, Paro, Bhutan – Mountainous terrain means every flight is an aeronautical feat.
6. Yeager Airport, Charleston, West Virginia – Located on a flattened mountaintop, overshooting the runway means dropping over a cliff.
7. La Aurora International Airport, Guatemala City, Guatemala – A startling approach weaves through volcanoes and mountains.
8. LaGuardia Airport, New York City, New York – Crowded airspace (JFK and Newark are nearby) and main runways extend over water.
9. Wellington International Airport, Wellington, New Zealand – Windy and the northern approach threads local hills and trolley lines.
10. John Wayne Airport, Santa Ana, California – Noise ordinances force pilots to quickly reduce throttle on takeoff.
Women Buy Sexier Clothes When Most Fertile
Ovulating women unconsciously buy sexier clothes in order to catch a mate at just the right time, according to new research from the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management. “The desire for women at peak fertility to unconsciously choose products that enhance appearance is driven by a desire to outdo attractive rival women,” says lead author Kristina Durante. “If you look more desirable than your competition, you are more likely to stand out.” The study also found that ovulating women only seem to compete against women who are pretty – and close by. Women were most likely to choose the revealing attire when presented with other attractive women who were said to be local. Women did not behave the same way when told that the attractive women lived 1,000 miles away.
%^&*!
A study of swearing habits in the United States, Canada and Britain suggests Canadians are the most likely to curse while conversing with friends. The Angus Reid Public Opinion poll found 56% of Canadians use profanity on a regular or occasional basis while talking to friends, compared with 51% in Britain and 46% in the United States. The survey found 27% of Canadians and Britons polled hear their friends swear on a daily basis, while 26% of those in the United States said the same. However, 21% of U.S. adults polled said their relatives frequently use swear words, while more than the 17% of Canadians and 13 percent of Brits said the same.
ENRIQUE IGLESIAS promised to water ski naked in Miami if Spain won the World Cup. They did . . . and finally, so did he.
--He did it at night, within the last few days, and there's video. Unfortunately, it's grainy and shaky and there's not much in the way of GOOD STUFF FOR THE LADIES. (--Here's the video . . .) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMhkjjoS--o
MARK WAHLBERG REGRETS DEDICATING HIS 1992 MEMOIR TO HIS PENIS:
Back when he was MARKY MARK . . . leader of THE FUNKY BUNCH . . . MARK WAHLBERG did some crazy things. One of them was dedicating his 1992 memoir . . . (--which was unimaginatively titled "Marky Mark") . . . to his penis. --Now that he's older . . . and a dad . . . he regrets it. He tells "Time" magazine, quote, "I thought it would be funny." Asked if his penis was grateful for the shout-out, Mark said, quote, "That is the one question I won't answer." --In plenty of interviews over the years, Mark has tried pretty hard to distance himself from his Marky Mark days. But he says he could be pulled back into the rap game by one person and one person only. -That person is JUSTIN BIEBER. --Mark says, quote, "If Justin Bieber asks me [to lay down a rap track for him], I'll say yes. Only because my daughter loves him."
MMA STUD ROGER HUERTA DISCUSSES BEATING DOWN A GUY WHO HIT A WOMAN:
Mixed martial arts fighter ROGER HUERTA became a hero to MILLIONS when that video hit the web of him beating down a guy who'd just punched a woman outside a club. -Roger didn't know the guy, or the woman. He just saw badness happen, and he CORRECTED IT. Like Batman. --Well, Roger spoke with TMZ about it yesterday . . . and if it's possible, he came out sounding even MORE manly. He said, quote, "I just don't think that it's right to hit a woman. Period. --"If that was my mom, if that was my sister, my spouse, anyone . . . I would've wanted someone to step in and do something about it." --Roger says he approached the guy calmly at first, but the dude started swearing at him and taking off his shirt. So Roger took care of business. He says the other guy swung on him first, and, quote, "I got the better of him and I left." --Meanwhile, TMZ says police are investigating the incident. They have yet to identify the other guy or the woman. --But here's some good news: Roger isn't going to lose his job with Bellator, which is the company he currently fights for. The CEO says, quote, "Roger is in no danger at all of being removed from Bellator based on this situation."
"QUEER AS FOLK" STAR HAL SPARKS MAY HAVE SAVED A LIFE WITH CPR:
Comedian HAL SPARKS . . . (--You may remember him from "Queer as Folk", or as one of the hosts of "Talk Soup") . . . may have saved a life. --Hal performed CPR on an older man who collapsed at Los Angeles International Airport Wednesday night. Hal did mouth-to-mouth while a woman performed chest compressions, until paramedics arrived and took over. There's no word on the guy's condition. --Hal Tweeted, quote, "Just did CPR for the 3rd time in my life. What a night . . . When they took him away he was breathing on his own . . . Hope he makes it. --"Everybody NEEDS to take a CPR class. Out of 200 people only 2 of us knew CPR . . . okay enough preaching . . . I need a nap."

She's signed to CBS, probably exclusively, but I'd recommend we have her in a heartbeat." (--Back in May, CBS hired Paula to be the lead judge on an upcoming show called "Got to Dance". It's based on a British show, which is a lot like "So You Think You Can Dance" . . . except that it's less about learning choreography.) (--If "Idol" keeps the four-judge format, there are TWO open seats on the panel: SIMON COWELL'S and ELLEN DEGENERES'. There may also be a third, if the rumors that KARA DIOGUARDI'S firing are true.) (--AEROSMITH singer STEVEN TYLER and JENNIFER LOPEZ are supposedly in line to become judges . . . but there's still no official word on either of them.)
AEROSMITH GUITARIST JOE PERRY DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHY STEVEN TYLER WOULD WANT TO DO "AMERICAN IDOL":
Earlier this week, AEROSMITH guitarist JOE PERRY said that he found out about STEVEN TYLER'S talks with "American Idol" like the rest of us . . . on the Internet. And he didn't seem too happy about that. --And on Wednesday, in a radio interview . .. . . he added that he doesn't understand why Steven would be interested in the job in the first place. --He said, quote, "I was taken totally by surprise […] why would he wanna do that instead of cruise on with Aerosmith? We've got an album that we wanna do, we wanna do another tour . . . we've got so many things lined up, and then this happens. --"If that's what you really have to do . . . let's talk about it, let's plan it out, you know what I mean?! We've all got families, we've all got different things going on, we've all got different things we could do. It's like getting hit over the head."
WAS DAVID GEFFEN AT THE TOP OF "AMERICAN IDOL'S" LIST?
Deadline.com reports that music industry "mogul" DAVID GEFFEN was at the top of "American Idol's" the wish list to replace SIMON COWELL. --A "source" says, quote, "It would have been his if he'd wanted it.

There are many things I want to do in my life and I'd better get on with them." --Her final season will begin on September 13th. --There's no official word on a replacement . . . but RadarOnline.com says "Insider" host LARA SPENCER has been tapped to take over for Mary. (--Well, don't be too quick to believe that. This is just the beginning.)

MEAT LOAF IS TICKED THAT HIS LATEST ALBUM DIDN'T GET MORE ATTENTION FROM HIS RECORD LABELS . . . OR THE CRITICS:
MEAT LOAF doesn't think that his record labels . . . (--Roadrunner and Loud & Proud) . . . did enough to promote his last album, "Hang Cool Teddy Bear". --The album found success in Europe, Australia and New Zealand . . . but he says, quote, "[My] record company in the United States has just botched the hell out of it." --And he also didn't think music critics took the album seriously . . . (--although honestly, if that's what he was going for, the decision to name the album "Hang Cool Teddy Bear" probably didn't help.) --He says, quote, "The album is much more intellectual than people will ever give me credit for. I'm easy to dismiss. This is the album U2 wished they had recorded." (--"Hang Cool Teddy Bear" is a concept album . . . naturally . . . about a fictional wounded soldier, whose life flashes before his eyes.)
WEEZER WILL RELEASE THEIR NEXT ALBUM IN SEPTEMBER:

Sadly, this is another album that WILL have a title . . . not another self-titled disc that will be known by the color of its cover. --The title is "Hurley". (--The last three years have been prolific for Weezer. "The Red Album" came out in June of 2008 and "Raditude" was out last October.)
THIS JUST IN: THE BEACH BOYS AREN'T SUING KATY PERRY:
At this point, chances are, you're EXTREMELY familiar with the KATY PERRY hit "California Gurls". It's easily the most over-played song of the summer . . . (--that and, well, anything by EMINEM.) --If that's the case, you know that at the very end of the song, SNOOP DOGG says, quote, "I really wish you all could be California girls." --Well, that line is causing some problems . . . apparently because it's similar to the chorus of THE BEACH BOYS' classic "California Girls", which was "I wish they all could be California girls." --There's been talk that the line might invite a lawsuit . . . yes, over that (???) . . . but that probably won't happen. --The Beach Boys' MIKE LOVE . . . who wrote the song with BRIAN WILSON . . . says he doesn't have a problem with it. He says, quote, "The Beach Boys are definitely not suing Katy Perry . . . . . . "In fact we're flattered that her fantastically successful song is bringing to mind to millions of people our 1965 recording of the Beach Boys' 'California Girls'. We think her song is great and wish her all the success in the world." --But the company that owns the rights to the Beach Boys' song, Rondor Music, isn't so forgiving. A rep says they aren't suing Katy, but they do think Katy should hit them up with partial credit and some royalty money. (--Yeah. Good luck with that.)
KANYE WEST JUST WENT THROUGH THE "DARKEST YEAR OF HIS CAREER":

NAZZY’S RANDOM STUFF
A NEW STUDY PROVES THAT MEN AND WOMEN CONTRIBUTE EQUALLY AROUND THE HOUSE:
This is some FANTASTIC ammo for every guy out there who gets yelled at for not doing his share of the housework. According to a new study by the London School of Economics, you're doing MORE than enough. --They found that the average man and woman contribute an equal share of hours to work . . . either at paid jobs or unpaid housework. --The study was actually led by a woman named Doctor Catherine Hakim. (--What a sell-out!) --She says that the average woman tends to cut down on office work once she has children, to take care of them and do housework . . . and men usually compensate by working extra hours or overtime. --In the end, both genders end up working the same amount for the sake of their family. --The only scenario where women get screwed is if she's part of a couple where both people have full-time jobs and they don't have kids. Then she ends up working more total hours than a man. --The study also found that 69% of women believe the best life is one with an equal work and family balance. 17% just want to focus on a family and 14% only want to focus on work. (Daily Mail)
MEN ARE MORE PARANOID ABOUT HAVING THEIR HAIR TURN GRAY THAN LOSING THEIR HAIR ALTOGETHER?
These are the results from a survey of British men . . . so either they have VERY different vanity issues than we do . . . or I was asleep on the day that everyone decided going bald ISN'T that bad. -The survey asked men to name their biggest concern about their appearance, and GOING GRAY actually beat out BALDING. Here are the top five concerns, in order:
#1.) Having their hair turn gray.
#2.) Balding.
#3.) Unwanted nose, ear and body hair.
#4.) Being overweight.
#5.) Yellow teeth.
--The survey also found that men REALLY start becoming unhappy with their looks at age 45. (Yahoo News)
A POLICE OFFICER IN UTAH IS FIRED FOR LETTING A WOMAN FLASH HER BREASTS TO GET OUT OF A DUI:
--On July 23rd, officer Jeffery Westerman arrived on the scene of an accident . . . a 29-year-old woman was driving drunk, and hit another car. When Westerman got there, he sent the other driver away and performed some field sobriety tests on the woman. --She failed them, and that's when Westerman decided to give her a choice: He'd either arrest her for a DUI . . . or he'd let her go, if she'd lift up her shirt and show him her breasts. --She took option B. And when she lifted up her shirt, Westerman got closer, fondled her and, according to reports, quote, "made crude sexual comments." --Once she put her shirt down, Westerman told her to lift it right back up . . . after all, letting someone out of a DUI was a big deal. She did, he fondled her again, and then he got in his car and drove away. --The woman decided that she couldn't let him get away with that . . . so she went to the police HERSELF to file a complaint. --Westerman was dumb enough to do the fondling while the CAMERA was on in his squad car . . . so when his bosses reviewed the footage, they saw the entire flashing and groping process. --He was fired from the force and has been arrested. He's looking at two felony charges: Forcible sexual abuse and obstruction of justice. The woman has not been charged with a DUI or for any other offense. (Salt Lake Tribute)
A MAN IS BUSTED FOR BREAKING INTO THE SAME HOUSE FOR A SECOND TIME . . . AND CLAIMS HE WAS JUST LEAVING A THANK YOU NOTE:
And now . . . your Meatball Criminal of the Day! Today's big winner is 39-year-old Gerald Maxwell of Sarasota, Florida, who loves breaking into houses . . . lying to the police . . . and, most importantly, hittin' the old crack pipe. --Last year, Gerald broke into a house on a street called Chippewa Place in Sarasota. He was caught . . . marking his fifth burglary arrest in two years. So he ended up doing a year in jail. --Now he's out on probation. And on Tuesday night, the police busted Gerald again . . . for breaking into the EXACT SAME HOUSE on Chippewa Place. --When they arrested him, Gerald tried to explain it was all a misunderstanding. He wasn't robbing the place . . . he was, quote, "going back in there to leave a thank you note." --BUT . . . inside the house, the police found a broken window, several dresser drawers open, and jewelry collected near a CRACK PIPE. That made them think perhaps Gerald WASN'T just in the house to leave a note like he said. --He was arrested . . . taking his total up to six burglaries in three years . . . with one of those years spent in jail. He's being held without bond. (ABC 7 - Sarasota)
KIDS WITH TONGUE RINGS END UP COSTING THEIR PARENTS MORE IN ORTHODONTIST BILLS:
I shouldn't have to tell you to BAN your teenage daughter from getting a tongue ring. Assuming your lifelong goal is to follow CHRIS ROCK'S advice and "keep her off the pole" . . . a tongue ring works in DIRECT OPPOSITION to your mission. --But if you want a reason BESIDES that obvious one, here ya go. A new study finds that kids with tongue rings cost their parents more money in orthodontist bills. --Most people who get a tongue ring end up developing a habit of pushing it up against their front teeth. Over time, that can lead to the teeth shifting and GAPS forming . . . which means it'll be time for BRACES. (Parent Dish)

FIVE THINGS MEN SAY, AND WHAT THEY *REALLY* MEAN:
Match.com talked to guys and relationship experts to find out what guys REALLY mean when they say the things they say. Here are five common things men say to women, and what they REALLY mean . . .
#1.) "WE SHOULD HANG OUT SOME TIME." What he's REALLY saying is, "I don't want to ask you out and getting rejected, so first I'm checking to see if you're interested."
--If you say yes and give him your number, he knows you really ARE interested. But if you say yes and then make some excuse to leave the room, he knows you're not.
#2.) "I LIKE YOUR SHOES." It means he's physically attracted to you. What's he's REALLY saying is, "I like your LEGS."
#3.) "I THINK I'M FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU." It means, "I'm really close to saying the L-word, but I can't bring myself to say it just yet." And he wants to make sure that when he DOES say it, you'll say it back.
#4.) "YOU'RE TOO GOOD FOR ME." According to Match.com, it means he's just trying to dump you without actually having to DO it or feel BAD about it.
--But they don't take into account how many guys have low self-esteem. And if he says you deserve someone better, he might just be trying to break up with you before YOU break up with HIM.
#5.) "MAYBE WE SHOULD TAKE A BREAK." What he really means is, "I want to keep my options open." And even if he SAYS you'll end up together, you probably won't. Because if he's keeping his OPTIONS open, chances are he's not "the one." (Match.com)
FIVE HOT-WEATHER DATE IDEAS:
It's the first week of August, which means it's the dead of summer. But you can't let hot, nasty, sticky weather prevent you from getting . . . hot, nasty, and sticky. So here are five date ideas that are actually perfect for hot weather.
#1.) TRY A NEW WATER SPORT. Go kayaking, or take a surfing lesson together.
#2.) WANDER AROUND AN ULTRA-AIR-CONDITIONED PLACE. Head to a place where the A/C is always working overtime: Like a museum, a movie theater, or the bowling alley.
#3.) HIT UP A WATER PARK. Try going on a weekday when it's less crowded. Or if you want to save some cash, set up a Slip 'N' Slide right in your yard.
#4.) GO FOR A DRIVE. As long as your air conditioner's going strong and you're both down with a scenic road-trip, just go for a drive. The idea is to get out of the heat, but still feel like you're going somewhere.
#5.) GET SOME DRINKS AT AN OUTDOOR BAR. Even though it's hot as hell, it's still nice to be outside when you're on a date. So if you're going for drinks, hit a bar with a shady patio . . . or a place that has those sprinkler things that pump out mist. (Glamour)
SITE FOR SORE EYES:
www.rekn.it
Now this is a unique idea! If you’ve got an old sweater that’s too small, out of date or you’re just tired of – just ship it and get it Rekn.it’d! A mom and son are behind Rekn.it – a website devoted to upcycling old sweaters. Each month they pick a new object, be it socks, a laptop case, a hat, cutoff gloves, scarves, doggy sweaters, etc. and the mom gets to town, unraveling the sweater and re-knitting it into the new item. As the narrator behind the site reminds visitors, since he’s only got one momma, they have limited it to creating 30 upcycled items per month. So you’ll have to stay tuned to their Twitter or Facebook feed to catch the announcement on the next batch. And they are looking for other Rekn.itting moms!
THE FRIDAY 5:
Top 5 Product Wording – And What They Really Mean
5. Exclusive - Imported from China.
4. Unmatched - Almost as good as the real thing.
3. Advanced Design - The ad agency trying to come up with a commercial for it don’t have a clue about it.
2. Field Tested - Manufacturer lacks real testing equipment.
1. Futuristic – That’s why it’s so ugly.
World’s Scariest Airports
SmarterTravel has released its list of the World’s Scariest Airports for take-offs and landings. Highlights include limited visibility landings, inconveniently placed volcanoes, and runways formed when the tide goes out. If you have even the slightest fear of flying, you’ll want to steer clear of these airports!
1. Barra Airport, Barra, Scotland – It’s always a beach landing and runways form when the tide goes out, so timing is literally EVERYTHING.
2. Gibraltar Airport, Gibraltar – The main road to Spain intersects the runway!
3. Toncontin International Airport, Tegucigalpa, Honduras – A 45-degree bank and quick drop in altitude as the pilot approaches can make even the most confident pilots fill their pants.
4. Nantucket Memorial Airport, Nantucket, Massachusetts – Fog often forces pilots to rely solely on instruments when landing.
5. Paro Airport, Paro, Bhutan – Mountainous terrain means every flight is an aeronautical feat.
6. Yeager Airport, Charleston, West Virginia – Located on a flattened mountaintop, overshooting the runway means dropping over a cliff.
7. La Aurora International Airport, Guatemala City, Guatemala – A startling approach weaves through volcanoes and mountains.
8. LaGuardia Airport, New York City, New York – Crowded airspace (JFK and Newark are nearby) and main runways extend over water.
9. Wellington International Airport, Wellington, New Zealand – Windy and the northern approach threads local hills and trolley lines.
10. John Wayne Airport, Santa Ana, California – Noise ordinances force pilots to quickly reduce throttle on takeoff.
Women Buy Sexier Clothes When Most Fertile
Ovulating women unconsciously buy sexier clothes in order to catch a mate at just the right time, according to new research from the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management. “The desire for women at peak fertility to unconsciously choose products that enhance appearance is driven by a desire to outdo attractive rival women,” says lead author Kristina Durante. “If you look more desirable than your competition, you are more likely to stand out.” The study also found that ovulating women only seem to compete against women who are pretty – and close by. Women were most likely to choose the revealing attire when presented with other attractive women who were said to be local. Women did not behave the same way when told that the attractive women lived 1,000 miles away.

A study of swearing habits in the United States, Canada and Britain suggests Canadians are the most likely to curse while conversing with friends. The Angus Reid Public Opinion poll found 56% of Canadians use profanity on a regular or occasional basis while talking to friends, compared with 51% in Britain and 46% in the United States. The survey found 27% of Canadians and Britons polled hear their friends swear on a daily basis, while 26% of those in the United States said the same. However, 21% of U.S. adults polled said their relatives frequently use swear words, while more than the 17% of Canadians and 13 percent of Brits said the same.
