HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW (11-10-10)
BRET MICHAELS SAYS HE DID NOT HAVE RELATIONS WITH TISH CYRUS:
BRET MICHAELS categorically denied having an affair with TISH CYRUS during an appearance yesterday morning on "Fox and Friends". --He said, quote, "Did I or didn't I? The answer is no. But here's the thing: I've been friends with their family forever."
(--Here's video . . .)

RACHEL WEISZ AND DIRECTOR DARREN ARONOFSKY HAVE SPLIT UP . . . DID DANIEL CRAIG HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT?
RACHEL WEISZ and director DARREN ARONOFSKY have broken up. They dated for NINE YEARS, and got engaged in 2005. They have a 4-year-old son named Henry. --They issued a statement yesterday, saying that they actually separated several months ago, and that they, quote, "remain close friends and are committed to raising their son together in New York City." --Rachel is the chick from the first two "Mummy" movies. She was also in Aronofsky's 2006 film "The Fountain". His other movies include "The Wrestler" and the upcoming thriller "Black Swan". He's 41 . . . she's 40. --There's a rumor going around that DANIEL CRAIG had something to do with the breakup. Supposedly, he and Rachel became a little more than co-stars while filming a movie called "Dream House" earlier this year.
HARRISON FORD HAD TO SHOW I.D. TO GET BEER:
Up to a certain age . . . like, say, your 30s . . . people LOVE to get carded when they try to buy alcohol. It makes them feel young. --But AFTER a certain age, it's just a nuisance. Everybody knows you don't look under 21, and there's just no need for it. --68-year-old HARRISON FORD knows how that feels . . . because HE was asked for his I.D. recently when he went to buy some beer. --He says, quote, "I said, 'I'm 68 years old,' and the guy said, 'Young people complain about being singled out, so we ask everyone to show proof.' --"I said, 'Take a look at me. Are you kidding?' But he still wanted to see it." (--I understand those "better-safe-than-sorry" policies. If you ask EVERYONE for I.D., then it's impossible to make a bad judgment call and sell to someone underage. It makes sense.) (--But at the same time, when a dude is 68, why bother? Harrison Ford looks damn good for his age. But even if you're being as generous as you can possibly be, you really can't peg him as younger than 55.)
COURTNEY LOVE PAID $17,000 FOR TEA WITH ADRIEN BRODY:
COURTNEY LOVE is constantly complaining about her financial situation. But somehow, she was able to come up with $17,000 last Friday to pay for tea with ADRIEN BRODY. (???) --Adrien was being auctioned off as part of a fundraiser for Haitian schools. Courtney got into a bidding war with GERARD BUTLER, but she went a little higher than he was willing to.
JOE JACKSON IS NOT FORCING MICHAEL'S KIDS INTO SHOWBIZ:
During the Jackson Family's sit-down with OPRAH WINFREY, MICHAEL JACKSON'S kids talked about wanting to get into showbiz when they're older. --That conjured up images in some people's minds of JOE JACKSON standing over them with THE STRAP and forcing them to sing and dance . . . like he allegedly did with his own children. But that's not the case. --KATHERINE JACKSON'S rep said yesterday that the kids expressed their desire to get into showbiz ON THEIR OWN. And he added, quote, "[Katherine hopes the fans] don't think anyone like Joe or the family is pushing the kids." --Meanwhile . . . so-called "family sources" say Katherine doesn't lay a hand on Prince, Paris or "Blanket", and she doesn't let Joe do it either.
KATHERINE JACKSON IS KICKING SOME PEOPLE OUT OF HER HOUSE:
KATHERINE JACKSON has decided to make room in her Encino home . . . by showing some people the door --Traditionally, the Jackson Family compound has been home to as many as 20 people. But now that Katherine has to focus on raising Michael's kids, she's making some of her other houseguests walk. --That includes Alejandra Jackson and four of the five children she had with members of the Jackson Family. --Check it out . . . Alejandra hooked up with RANDY JACKSON in the late 1980s, when he was still married to someone else. They had a daughter in 1989, and two sons, born in 1991 and '92. --After they broke up, Alejandra was knocked up by Randy's brother JERMAINE. She bore him two sons . . . in 1996 and 2000. --Jermaine and Alejandra even got married . . . but Jermaine had it annulled after he found out she hadn't even divorced her first husband. --Alejandra and the four boys have been living at Katherine's house for years, but she's moving them out by the end of the year. --A source says, quote, "Alejandra won't be living on the streets, she will be taken care of. Katherine is very generous, probably to a fault."
"TWILIGHT" LEADS THE "PEOPLE'S CHOICE" NOMINATIONS:
It's going to be strange a few years from now, when we can watch an award show that "Twilight" does NOT dominate. --The nominees for the "People's Choice Awards" were announced yesterday, and "Twilight: Eclipse" led everyone and everything with EIGHT nominations. --This is the award show that covers just about every category you can think of, in Movies, Music and TV. And lately, they've even been branching out to the Internet. --This year, there's a category for Favorite Viral Video Star . . . and it includes the DOUBLE RAINBOW GUY. (!!!) --The "People's Choice Awards" air January 5th on CBS. QUEEN LATIFAH is your sexually-ambiguous host.
(--Check out the complete list of roughly 10 million categories and 90 million nominees at the following link . . .)

CHECK OUT THE TRAILER FOR UWE BOLL'S UPCOMING MOVIE . . . "BLUBBERELLA":
UWE BOLL is the most hated director of our time. But you have to admire his gusto. As ill-conceived and ultimately terrible as they are, this guy just keeps making his movies. And he keeps making them HIS WAY. --Even though you hated "Bloodrayne" and didn't even know there was a "Bloodrayne 2", Uwe went ahead and shot "Bloodrayne 3: The Third Reich". --He actually made TWO movies at the same time. The second movie is called "Blubberella". It uses the same cast and sets . . . and it takes place during World War 2, just like "Bloodrayne". --But there are two major differences: "Blubberella" is a comedy . . . and he took out the sexy heroine from "Bloodrayne" and replaced her with a very candy-coated actress named LINDSAY HOLLISTER. --Lindsay plays Blubberella . . . a supersized half-vampire Nazi-fighting superhero. Oh, and Uwe himself plays Hitler. --We don't know where or when you'll be able to see either of these masterpieces. "Bloodrayne 3" is supposed to be out this year . . . but chances are it'll go straight to DVD. "Blubberella" is supposedly coming out sometime next year. (--You can check out the trailers for both movies at the following links . . .)
(--WARNING!!! There is UNBLEEPED PROFANITY in the "Blubberella" clip . . .)

CONAN O'BRIEN'S FIRST SHOW EASILY BEAT LENO AND LETTERMAN IN THE RATINGS:
The early numbers are in: CONAN O'BRIEN'S debut on TBS easily defeated "The Tonight Show" and "The Late Show with David Letterman" in the ratings. --According to the "Hollywood Reporter", "Conan" drew 4.2 million viewers on Monday night. By comparison, 3.5 million watched JAY LENO . . . and 3.4 million tuned in to "Letterman". --Naturally, he also beat "The Daily Show", which attracted 1.3 million viewers, and "The Colbert Report", which had 1 million. --Despite being on basic cable, "Conan" also annihilated "The Tonight Show" in the coveted ad demographic of 18- to 49-year-olds. "Conan" had 3.3 million viewers in that category. "The Tonight Show" had just 950,000. --"Letterman" beat Jay in that area too. Dave had 1.3 million 18- to 49-year-olds. (--Obviously, "Conan" drew a lot of interest because it was his debut. It'll be interesting to see where he stands once the dust settles. Conan's audience fell over 50% after his first week on "The Tonight Show" last year.)
CONAN O'BRIEN PLAYED GUITAR WITH JACK WHITE MONDAY NIGHT . . . BUT IN 2002 HE MOCKED HOSTS WHO PERFORM WITH THEIR GUESTS:
Is CONAN O'BRIEN a guitar-playing hypocrite? Let me explain: --Conan picked up a guitar and performed with JACK WHITE on the premiere of his new TBS show Monday night. And on his last episode of "The Tonight Show", he played guitar along to a crazy rendition of "Free Bird". --But in a 2002 interview on "Last Call with Carson Daly", Conan slammed the idea of talk show hosts jamming on their shows. And he held up the great ALAN THICKE as an example. --Carson had asked Conan if he ever jammed with anyone on his show . . . --And Conan said, quote, "No . . . when I was in high school, Alan Thicke had a talk show, and they had all these posters up everywhere like, 'He's coming, it's gonna be better than Johnny Carson,' and I watched his first show . . . --"And he came running out . . . and the band's rocking out . . .and he runs down to the band and he picks up a guitar and he starts rocking out with the band, and I was sitting there and I was 14 and I'm like, 'You're an ass.' Click. --"I always knew that as a lesson, that [guitar playing] is my hobby, and I don't like it when celebrities inflict their hobby [on the audience] . . . It's one of those things that I'm very careful not to do."
(--Here's video of the interview. You can skip ahead to the 1:25 mark.)

THE PTC HAS RELEASED A REPORT ON PROFANITY IN PRIMETIME:
The Parents Television Council has released a report claiming that instances of profanity are increasing at an alarming rate in primetime. (--The report is titled: "A Habitat for Profanity: Broadcast TV's Sharp Increase in Foul Language".) --The report looked at the first two weeks of programming on the broadcast networks this season . . . and compared it with the first two weeks of the 2005 season.
--Here's an overview of their findings:
--"Across all networks, use of profanity on prime-time broadcast entertainment programming increased 69.3% from 2005 to 2010."
--"Use of the bleeped or muted F-words increased from 11 instances total in 2005 to 276 instances in 2010 . . . an increase of 2409%."
--"Use of the bleeped or muted S-word increased from 11 instances in 2005 to 95 instances in 2010 . . . an increase of 763%."
--"During the family hour [which is 8:00 to 9:00 P.M.], instances of the F-word increased from 10 in 2005 to 111 in 2010. Use of the S-word during the family hour increased from 11 instances in 2005 to 42 in 2010."
--"Fox showed the greatest per hour increase in use of profanity from 2005 to 2010 with a 269% increase across all prime-time hours."
--You can download the full report at ParentsTV.org/profanity. (--That link opens a seven-page .PDF. The most interesting information can be found on Page Six. There, you'll find a graph, which lists the instances of each "profane" word . . . per hour . . . in both 2005 and 2010.)
"DANCING WITH THE STARS" WON THE WEEKLY RATINGS WAR, WHILE THE FINAL GAME OF THE WORLD SERIES CAME IN AT #6:
"Sunday Night Football" is closing the gap on "Dancing with the Stars". There was only a difference of a half million viewers between them this week, with 19.4 million people tuning in to watch the Packers DESTROY the Cowboys, 45-7. --Meanwhile, the final game of the World Series mustered 15 million viewers to come in 6th place. . . .
1.) The "Dancing with the Stars" performance show, ABC, 19.9 million

JUSTIN BIEBER has surpassed SIX MILLION Twitter followers, and he thanked his fans in a series of Tweets yesterday. --He said, quote, "WOW. WOW. WOW. So I wake up today to almost 15 million on Facebook, over a BILLION VIEWS on YouTube, and . . . 6 MILLION OF THE GREATEST FANS ON EARTH ON TWITTER!!!! THANK U. --"This is crazy . . . my hometown only has 30,000 people total! NUTS." --And then, he turned this into a cool motivational message to his young followers. --He said, quote, "So let me break this down for you. This is for all the kids out there with a dream: For every person out there who gets told you can't be somebody or achieve something. For everyone who dreams of something more . . . --"I'm from a small town many have never heard of . . . my parents had me as teenagers . . . me and my mom lived in a small apartment . . . no one in my family had really left my town or the area and I never thought leaving was possible . . . --"But then u all found me, and you all changed my life and showed me opportunity I didn't think existed. You taught me to dream big and never say never. So thank u." (--For now, LADY GAGA is still ahead of Justin on Twitter with over seven million followers.)
MORE DETAILS ON JUSTIN BIEBER'S ACOUSTIC ALBUM:
JUSTIN BIEBER'S unplugged album "My Worlds Acoustic" will no longer be unleashed to stores everywhere on November 23rd. Instead, it'll now be coming out on November 26th . . . a.k.a. Black Friday . . . and ONLY at Wal-Mart. --As we'd heard before, the album will feature a new track called "Pray" . . . plus acoustic versions of nine of his previously released songs. (--You can check out the album cover . . . and pre-order the disc . . . at JustinBieberMusic.com.)
JASON MRAZ HATES NICK JONAS' SONG "INTRODUCING ME" . . . AND HE THINKS IT RIPS OFF ONE OF HIS OWN SONGS:
JASON MRAZ has two things he'd like to share with us: First, he absolutely can't stand NICK JONAS' "Camp Rock 2" song "Introducing Me". And also, he thinks "Introducing Me" sounds a little like his hit, "I'm Yours". (--So, using the Transitive Property of Equality that I learned in high school algebra class . . . is Jason revealing that he thinks his own song sucks?) --He tells PopEater.com, quote, "I heard ['Introducing Me'], and it was just a tremendous, tremendous horror of a tune." --But he adds, quote, "I noticed a few similarities in the melody, but it wasn't enough to pick up the phone and argue with somebody about it. If anything, I just wanted [the] $1.29 back that [it cost me] on iTunes." (--You can compare "Introducing Me" to "I'm Yours" at the link below. There may be some slight similarities, but regardless, Jason's right . . . Nick's song is absolutely terrible.)
http://www.popeater.com/2010/11/09/jason-mraz-jonas-brothers-im-yours/
(--Below the two songs, you can watch video of Jason making the comments.) (--It sort of answers the question I had: Why is Jason Mraz downloading the "Camp Rock 2" soundtrack? Basically, Jason says he only bought it after a bunch of people told him they thought it ripped off his song.)
ENJOY THESE PICTURES OF MUSICIANS' MOUSTACHES:
For no reason whatsoever, here's a link to a picture gallery full of 12 of the best musicians' moustaches. And yes, JOHN OATES made the list. (--Here's the link.)
PHIL COLLINS DISCOVERED PARANORMAL ACTIVITY AT THE ALAMO . . . AND OCCASIONALLY HAS TROUBLE WIPING HIMSELF:
These days, PHIL COLLINS is more interested in the Battle of the Alamo than in music. And he's not just an Alamo history buff . . . he's a collector. He says he has hundreds of cannonballs, documents, and other artifacts in his basement in Switzerland. --And now, he thinks some of the photos he's taken at the site of the Alamo show GHOSTS . . . or something like them. --Phil told "Rolling Stone" there are, quote, "glowing, semi-transparent light orbs" in the pictures, and he believes they represent, quote, "paranormal energy." --Phil has also been told by a psychic that he fought at the Alamo in a previous life . . . and he thinks it could be true. --He says, quote, "I don't want to sound like a weirdo. I'm not Shirley MacLaine, but I'm prepared to believe. You've seen the pictures. You can't deny them." --Phil also talks about the neck and spinal cord injury that essentially makes it impossible for him to play the drums like he used to, because he can't grip the sticks. --He says, quote, "I was going to stop drumming anyway . . . I don't miss it." But it limits him in other ways too. He says he occasionally has trouble WIPING HIMSELF. --And he admits that he's had suicidal thoughts over the past few years . . . quote, "I wouldn't blow my head off. I'd overdose or do something that didn't hurt. But I wouldn't do that to the children. --"A comedian who committed suicide in the '60s left a note saying, 'Too many things went wrong too often.' I often think about that."
KANYE WEST ADMITS THAT HE'S "NOT A GOOD CELEBRITY":
By now, everyone knows that KANYE WEST'S biggest problem is that he won't stop talking about Kanye West. How it is that Kanye can't understand that is beyond me. --But Kanye is back in VICTIM mode. (--Kanye has THREE modes: "It's all about me, Attack mode," "It's all about me, victim mode," and "It's actually NOT all about me for now, COOL mode." He spends 99% of his time bouncing back and forth between the first two.) --On Twitter yesterday, Kanye whined, quote, "I've decided to fall back a bit on interviews in order to 'sell my album.' I can't come up with some magic trick to make people like me. --"I've made mistakes, I've paid the price, now it is what it is. I'm [going to] make this art, but I'm not going to be scrutinized as a human being. No more [GEORGE] Bush questions . . . no more Taylor [SWIFT] questions . . . --"No more relationship questions . . . and the music is unquestionable sooooo . . . --"I am a creative person. I'm not a good celebrity, but I'm a great artist. I'm tired of using my celebrity to sell my art."
EMINEM HAS ONLY EVER READ *ONE* BOOK . . . LL COOL J'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY:
EMINEM has only ever read ONE BOOK in his life . . . and it isn't something predictable like The Bible, "Catcher in the Rye" or "Jane Eyre". --It was LL COOL J's autobiography, "I Make My Own Rules". (--It was published in 1998.) --Eminem tells "Rolling Stone", quote, "The only book I ever read from front to back was LL's autobiography. I just never really got into books. But I've always been good at English and I always had a lot of words in my vocabulary." --By the way, Eminem also says that he does a lot of his writing . . . on the toilet. --He says, quote, "I think we do most of our best thinking on the (crapper). What else do you have to do in there besides think?"

WANT TO STOP PEOPLE FROM FIGHTING THIS THANKSGIVING? JUST MAKE SURE THEY CAN SEE THE TURKEY:
Researchers at McGill University in Montreal think they've found a way to stop your family from getting into its annual fight this Thanksgiving. And it DOESN'T involve thousands of dollars of therapy. --They just finished a study that found people get less aggressive when they see MEAT. So if you want to keep Thanksgiving peaceful, make sure everyone has a good view of the turkey. --Frank Kachanoff is the psychology researcher who led the study. He says he was surprised by the result . . . he figured meat would make people MORE aggressive, because, biologically, it would evoke thoughts of HUNTING. --But now he believes the sight of meat calms us down, because our ancestors knew that having meat in front of you meant you could relax, since you wouldn't have to worry about starvation and survival for a little while. --Even though we've evolved since then, we still have those instincts. --And now for PETA's response. They issued a statement saying, quote, "Clearly, eating meat does support horrible violence, but apparently seeing meat does not cause people to become more aggressive." --They also speculated that the sight of meat calms people down because it instantly makes us think of the physiological effects of eating meat . . . like slower blood flow and drowsiness. (Vancouver Sun)
GOOD NEWS: MAJOR RETAILERS ARE ENTERING INTO A MASSIVE PRICE WAR TO TRY TO SELL TOYS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON:
This is some good news for parents . . . especially parents whose kids don't like to hear words like "economy" or "recession" or "we can't buy you toys because ever since your father got fired all of our extra money goes toward buying scotch." --Four of the biggest toy retailers in the country are already getting into a MASSIVE price war . . . with each of them trying to provide the best deals and get your business this holiday season. Here's what they're doing.
--TARGET. They're already putting half of their 2,000 toys on sale this year, an increase of 10% from last year. They're also pushing their Target credit and debit cards, which give an extra 5% off . . . something no one else is offering.
--WAL-MART. They've basically gone through Target's prices and made sure all of their prices are lower . . . even if it's just by a few pennies. They're also focusing on bigger cuts on some of the most popular toys.
--TOYS "R" US. They're stocking a wider variety of toys than ever . . . offering free shipping deals online . . . and offering up to 10% back on holiday purchases over $500 if you join their loyalty program. The 10% back is in store credit, not cash.
--AMAZON.COM. Throughout the holiday season they're going to be offering 25% off different toys . . . it will change regularly. They also offer free shipping on all of the toys they stock. (Yahoo Finance)
TEENAGERS WHO SEND A LOT OF TEXTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO DRINK, USE DRUGS, AND HAVE SEX?
For as long as there have been parents, they've been FREAKING OUT about how new trends they don't fully understand will lead their sweet little angels to DEVIANCE. --They said it about cars, they said it about rock music, they said it about video games. And now . . . a new study is saying it about texting. --According to Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, teenagers who send at least 120 text messages a day are more likely to drink, smoke, fight, do drugs, and have sex. --The researchers studied more than 4,200 students at public high schools around Cleveland. They found kids who sent at least 120 texts each day were 350% more likely to have sex than kids who don't send as many texts. --They were also 40% more likely to smoke, 43% more likely to binge drink, 41% more likely to use drugs, and 55% more likely to be in a fight. --Now, the researchers say it's not quite time to panic about texting yet. Their best theory on why texting is connected to making bad choices comes back to the parents. --Dr. Scott Frank, who led the study, says, quote, "If parents are monitoring their kids' texting and social networking, they're probably monitoring other activities as well." (Cleveland Plain Dealer)
SO . . . UH . . . ANYONE KNOW WHO LAUNCHED A MISSILE OFF THE COAST OF CALIFORNIA ON MONDAY?
It's not exactly reassuring when MISSILES are flying around the country . . . and the military has NO idea who launched them or where they're headed. --And that seems to be what happened on Monday night. --On Monday around sunset, a news helicopter from KCBS in Los Angeles captured video of a missile that was launched off the coast. And no one seems to know where it came from. --No missile tests were scheduled by the U.S. military for Monday. None of the local bases or ships have claimed the missile. And no one seems to be able to figure it out. --John Cornelio is a spokesman with the North American Aerospace Defense Command . . . a.k.a. 'NORAD.' And he says they're, quote, "very confident that the missile was not fired from a foreign military." --"If it were an attack we would've known it and we would have done something about it." --The missile flew about 35 miles out to sea before the cameras lost sight of it. No one seems to know where it was headed or where it landed. --The military is still trying to determine if it was accidentally launched from a Naval station or Air Force base in Los Angeles, or from a U.S. sub or surface ship.

AN 11-YEAR-OLD TRACKS DOWN THE MAN WHO STOLE HIS FAMILY'S CAMPER . . . USING GOOGLE STREET VIEW:
Google fights crime! Last June, someone stole a camper parked in the driveway of the Soames family in Derbyshire, England. Now, a year later, the family FINALLY has a lead on who took it . . . thanks to a combination of Google and crazy luck. --11-year-old Reuben Soames was messing around with Google Maps and searched for his family's address. When he found it, he pulled up the Google Street View. --If you aren't familiar, Google sends vans around the world taking pictures, so you can actually see what the area looks like at street level, instead of just looking at an aerial view. That's called Google Street View. --Well, in an AMAZING coincidence, it looks like the Google Street View photo was taken in June of 2009 . . . RIGHT when the camper was getting stolen. And there's a pretty clear look at the guy who probably stole it. --In the screenshot from Google, the guy is standing by his SUV . . . which he parked in the Soames' driveway . . . and looks to be buttoning or unbuttoning his pants. (--Um . . .) --The Soames family forwarded the info to the police, and they released the photo to the public, asking if anyone recognizes the man. They're still trying to track him down.

A YOUNG GIRL GETS CARJACKED . . . IN HER FISHER-PRICE POWER WHEELS BARBIE JAMMIN' JEEP:
Last week, a young girl in Crestview, Florida was riding around in her Fisher-Price Power Wheels Barbie Jammin' Jeep. That's one of those little battery-operated cars that kids can actually drive. This one's pink and covered in Barbie graphics. -As she was driving around outside her house, a grown woman drove up and CARJACKED the little girl. (--None of the names or ages of any of the people involved has been released.) --The woman forced the little girl out of the Barbie Jeep, loaded it into her car, and drove off. She ended up selling it for $20 . . . but it goes for about TWELVE TIMES THAT new, about $240. --And it turned out the woman who stole the Jeep knew the little girl's family. When the girl's family put all the clues together, they told the woman they wouldn't go to the cops if she returned the Jeep within 24 hours. --But the woman told them she'd already sold it. So the family called the police, and the woman was arrested.

A MAN IN ILLINOIS WAS ARRESTED FOR PUNCHING HIS FEMALE BOSS AFTER SHE FIRED HIM:
It's probably not a good idea to threaten your boss with physical violence. Especially if you're a man and your boss is a woman. But it's even worse to actually FOLLOW THROUGH on the violence, like the guy in this story. --Last Thursday, 32-year-old Michael Yarbrough of Glen Ellyn, Illinois returned to his job at a baby merchandise store called Buy Buy Baby, after two months out with a broken leg. He'd been with the store about two-and-a-half years before that. --He'd only been back working for a few hours when his female boss told him he wasn't doing a very good job on inventorying some of the merchandise. --They got into an argument, and he said to her, quote, "You're lucky we're on the clock." She responded, quote, "What are you going to do? Hit a girl?" And he answered, quote, "Yes." --So he was fired. --And that's when Michael followed through on his threat . . . and PUNCHED his female boss in the head. Then he turned around, punched a male store manager in the face, and walked out. --The store called the police, and Michael was arrested on two counts of battery. He's also prohibited from entering the store or having contact with either of the people he punched. (Chicago Tribune Local)

NAZZY’S SILLY VIDEOS OF THE DAY
#1.) A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYER DID BACKFLIPS BEFORE A PLAY TO DISTRACT THE OTHER TEAM . . . AND GOT EJECTED:
On Friday, a high school football player and his coach were ejected from a game after the kid did back-handsprings across the field during a play. He was trying to distract the other team before the snap on a two-point conversion. --Actually, there's no RULE against it, and some people think there shouldn't have been a penalty, because it was a creative way to distract the other team.

#2.) CHECK OUT STEVE CARELL'S "ANCHORMAN" AUDITION:
One of the best parts of the movie "Anchorman" is STEVE CARELL as the idiot weatherman, Brick Tamland. But Carell didn't get the part out-right. Since he wasn't as famous back then, he had to audition for it. And the audition tape is HILARIOUS.

#3.) A GUY IN A WHEELCHAIR STOPPED A ROBBERY:
A man in a wheelchair stopped a convenience store robbery in Vancouver the other day. He grabbed the robber and wouldn't let go, even when he got pulled out of his chair. Eventually the other people in the store helped, but at first they just watched.

There's a kid on YouTube who apparently only settles down if he listens to reggae. In the video, he starts crying when his dad puts him in the car seat. --But when his dad switches the song from the GIPSY KINGS to "Buffalo Soldier" by BOB MARLEY, the kid instantly starts smiling and bobbing his head.

FOUR WAYS TO JUDGE A GOOD BABY NAME:
When some couples have a baby, they can't settle on a name until the kid is two or three weeks old. It sounds weird but it's not that uncommon. --So whether you're expecting, or you just want to have kids SOMEDAY, here are four ways to judge a good baby name . . .
#1.) WHAT'S YOU'RE INSTANT REACTION? It's best to choose a name that makes you feel positive as soon as you hear it. You can definitely get USED to a name, but it's not ideal.
#2.) HOW MANY SYLLABLES DOES IT HAVE? A lot of people think names sound best if the first, middle, and last names all have a different number of syllables.
--So, if you like the name "Autumn", and your last name is "Jones", pick a middle name with three or four syllables. Or if you decide on a middle name FIRST, you can use that to help shorten your list of possible FIRST names.
#3.) WHAT WOULD THE INITIALS BE? Obviously, you'd probably notice if the initials spelled out S.T.D. But even initials like P.I.G. or D.U.H. might have a psychological effect on a child.
--In 1999, researchers at the University of California in San Diego studied death certificates from 1969 to 1995, and found 2,287 sets of initials that were deemed to be "negative".
--Then they also found 1,200 sets of "positive" initials, like A.C.E. and V.I.P. And on average, the people with positive initials lived about four-and-a-half years longer.
#4.) HOW EASY IS IT TO UNDERSTAND? If you're thinking about an uncommon name, try it out on people first and see how hard it is to understand. --Keep in mind that if people always need you to repeat it, that's probably what your child will have to deal with for the rest of their life. --But don't tell people it's a POSSIBLE baby name, because then they might not be honest about it. Just tell them you met someone with the name "Meredith" or "Duskin," then ask if they've ever met someone with that name before. (Nameberry.com)

RACHEL WEISZ AND DIRECTOR DARREN ARONOFSKY HAVE SPLIT UP . . . DID DANIEL CRAIG HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT?
RACHEL WEISZ and director DARREN ARONOFSKY have broken up. They dated for NINE YEARS, and got engaged in 2005. They have a 4-year-old son named Henry. --They issued a statement yesterday, saying that they actually separated several months ago, and that they, quote, "remain close friends and are committed to raising their son together in New York City." --Rachel is the chick from the first two "Mummy" movies. She was also in Aronofsky's 2006 film "The Fountain". His other movies include "The Wrestler" and the upcoming thriller "Black Swan". He's 41 . . . she's 40. --There's a rumor going around that DANIEL CRAIG had something to do with the breakup. Supposedly, he and Rachel became a little more than co-stars while filming a movie called "Dream House" earlier this year.
HARRISON FORD HAD TO SHOW I.D. TO GET BEER:
Up to a certain age . . . like, say, your 30s . . . people LOVE to get carded when they try to buy alcohol. It makes them feel young. --But AFTER a certain age, it's just a nuisance. Everybody knows you don't look under 21, and there's just no need for it. --68-year-old HARRISON FORD knows how that feels . . . because HE was asked for his I.D. recently when he went to buy some beer. --He says, quote, "I said, 'I'm 68 years old,' and the guy said, 'Young people complain about being singled out, so we ask everyone to show proof.' --"I said, 'Take a look at me. Are you kidding?' But he still wanted to see it." (--I understand those "better-safe-than-sorry" policies. If you ask EVERYONE for I.D., then it's impossible to make a bad judgment call and sell to someone underage. It makes sense.) (--But at the same time, when a dude is 68, why bother? Harrison Ford looks damn good for his age. But even if you're being as generous as you can possibly be, you really can't peg him as younger than 55.)
COURTNEY LOVE PAID $17,000 FOR TEA WITH ADRIEN BRODY:
COURTNEY LOVE is constantly complaining about her financial situation. But somehow, she was able to come up with $17,000 last Friday to pay for tea with ADRIEN BRODY. (???) --Adrien was being auctioned off as part of a fundraiser for Haitian schools. Courtney got into a bidding war with GERARD BUTLER, but she went a little higher than he was willing to.
JOE JACKSON IS NOT FORCING MICHAEL'S KIDS INTO SHOWBIZ:
During the Jackson Family's sit-down with OPRAH WINFREY, MICHAEL JACKSON'S kids talked about wanting to get into showbiz when they're older. --That conjured up images in some people's minds of JOE JACKSON standing over them with THE STRAP and forcing them to sing and dance . . . like he allegedly did with his own children. But that's not the case. --KATHERINE JACKSON'S rep said yesterday that the kids expressed their desire to get into showbiz ON THEIR OWN. And he added, quote, "[Katherine hopes the fans] don't think anyone like Joe or the family is pushing the kids." --Meanwhile . . . so-called "family sources" say Katherine doesn't lay a hand on Prince, Paris or "Blanket", and she doesn't let Joe do it either.
KATHERINE JACKSON IS KICKING SOME PEOPLE OUT OF HER HOUSE:
KATHERINE JACKSON has decided to make room in her Encino home . . . by showing some people the door --Traditionally, the Jackson Family compound has been home to as many as 20 people. But now that Katherine has to focus on raising Michael's kids, she's making some of her other houseguests walk. --That includes Alejandra Jackson and four of the five children she had with members of the Jackson Family. --Check it out . . . Alejandra hooked up with RANDY JACKSON in the late 1980s, when he was still married to someone else. They had a daughter in 1989, and two sons, born in 1991 and '92. --After they broke up, Alejandra was knocked up by Randy's brother JERMAINE. She bore him two sons . . . in 1996 and 2000. --Jermaine and Alejandra even got married . . . but Jermaine had it annulled after he found out she hadn't even divorced her first husband. --Alejandra and the four boys have been living at Katherine's house for years, but she's moving them out by the end of the year. --A source says, quote, "Alejandra won't be living on the streets, she will be taken care of. Katherine is very generous, probably to a fault."
"TWILIGHT" LEADS THE "PEOPLE'S CHOICE" NOMINATIONS:
It's going to be strange a few years from now, when we can watch an award show that "Twilight" does NOT dominate. --The nominees for the "People's Choice Awards" were announced yesterday, and "Twilight: Eclipse" led everyone and everything with EIGHT nominations. --This is the award show that covers just about every category you can think of, in Movies, Music and TV. And lately, they've even been branching out to the Internet. --This year, there's a category for Favorite Viral Video Star . . . and it includes the DOUBLE RAINBOW GUY.

CHECK OUT THE TRAILER FOR UWE BOLL'S UPCOMING MOVIE . . . "BLUBBERELLA":
UWE BOLL is the most hated director of our time. But you have to admire his gusto. As ill-conceived and ultimately terrible as they are, this guy just keeps making his movies. And he keeps making them HIS WAY. --Even though you hated "Bloodrayne" and didn't even know there was a "Bloodrayne 2", Uwe went ahead and shot "Bloodrayne 3: The Third Reich". --He actually made TWO movies at the same time. The second movie is called "Blubberella". It uses the same cast and sets . . . and it takes place during World War 2, just like "Bloodrayne". --But there are two major differences: "Blubberella" is a comedy . . . and he took out the sexy heroine from "Bloodrayne" and replaced her with a very candy-coated actress named LINDSAY HOLLISTER. --Lindsay plays Blubberella . . . a supersized half-vampire Nazi-fighting superhero. Oh, and Uwe himself plays Hitler. --We don't know where or when you'll be able to see either of these masterpieces. "Bloodrayne 3" is supposed to be out this year . . . but chances are it'll go straight to DVD. "Blubberella" is supposedly coming out sometime next year. (--You can check out the trailers for both movies at the following links . . .)

CONAN O'BRIEN'S FIRST SHOW EASILY BEAT LENO AND LETTERMAN IN THE RATINGS:
The early numbers are in: CONAN O'BRIEN'S debut on TBS easily defeated "The Tonight Show" and "The Late Show with David Letterman" in the ratings. --According to the "Hollywood Reporter", "Conan" drew 4.2 million viewers on Monday night. By comparison, 3.5 million watched JAY LENO . . . and 3.4 million tuned in to "Letterman". --Naturally, he also beat "The Daily Show", which attracted 1.3 million viewers, and "The Colbert Report", which had 1 million. --Despite being on basic cable, "Conan" also annihilated "The Tonight Show" in the coveted ad demographic of 18- to 49-year-olds. "Conan" had 3.3 million viewers in that category. "The Tonight Show" had just 950,000. --"Letterman" beat Jay in that area too. Dave had 1.3 million 18- to 49-year-olds. (--Obviously, "Conan" drew a lot of interest because it was his debut. It'll be interesting to see where he stands once the dust settles. Conan's audience fell over 50% after his first week on "The Tonight Show" last year.)
CONAN O'BRIEN PLAYED GUITAR WITH JACK WHITE MONDAY NIGHT . . . BUT IN 2002 HE MOCKED HOSTS WHO PERFORM WITH THEIR GUESTS:
Is CONAN O'BRIEN a guitar-playing hypocrite? Let me explain: --Conan picked up a guitar and performed with JACK WHITE on the premiere of his new TBS show Monday night. And on his last episode of "The Tonight Show", he played guitar along to a crazy rendition of "Free Bird". --But in a 2002 interview on "Last Call with Carson Daly", Conan slammed the idea of talk show hosts jamming on their shows. And he held up the great ALAN THICKE as an example. --Carson had asked Conan if he ever jammed with anyone on his show . . . --And Conan said, quote, "No . . . when I was in high school, Alan Thicke had a talk show, and they had all these posters up everywhere like, 'He's coming, it's gonna be better than Johnny Carson,' and I watched his first show . . . --"And he came running out . . . and the band's rocking out . . .and he runs down to the band and he picks up a guitar and he starts rocking out with the band, and I was sitting there and I was 14 and I'm like, 'You're an ass.' Click. --"I always knew that as a lesson, that [guitar playing] is my hobby, and I don't like it when celebrities inflict their hobby [on the audience] . . . It's one of those things that I'm very careful not to do."

THE PTC HAS RELEASED A REPORT ON PROFANITY IN PRIMETIME:
The Parents Television Council has released a report claiming that instances of profanity are increasing at an alarming rate in primetime. (--The report is titled: "A Habitat for Profanity: Broadcast TV's Sharp Increase in Foul Language".) --The report looked at the first two weeks of programming on the broadcast networks this season . . . and compared it with the first two weeks of the 2005 season.
--Here's an overview of their findings:
--"Across all networks, use of profanity on prime-time broadcast entertainment programming increased 69.3% from 2005 to 2010."
--"Use of the bleeped or muted F-words increased from 11 instances total in 2005 to 276 instances in 2010 . . . an increase of 2409%."
--"Use of the bleeped or muted S-word increased from 11 instances in 2005 to 95 instances in 2010 . . . an increase of 763%."
--"During the family hour [which is 8:00 to 9:00 P.M.], instances of the F-word increased from 10 in 2005 to 111 in 2010. Use of the S-word during the family hour increased from 11 instances in 2005 to 42 in 2010."
--"Fox showed the greatest per hour increase in use of profanity from 2005 to 2010 with a 269% increase across all prime-time hours."
--You can download the full report at ParentsTV.org/profanity. (--That link opens a seven-page .PDF. The most interesting information can be found on Page Six. There, you'll find a graph, which lists the instances of each "profane" word . . . per hour . . . in both 2005 and 2010.)

JASON MRAZ HATES NICK JONAS' SONG "INTRODUCING ME" . . . AND HE THINKS IT RIPS OFF ONE OF HIS OWN SONGS:
JASON MRAZ has two things he'd like to share with us: First, he absolutely can't stand NICK JONAS' "Camp Rock 2" song "Introducing Me". And also, he thinks "Introducing Me" sounds a little like his hit, "I'm Yours". (--So, using the Transitive Property of Equality that I learned in high school algebra class . . . is Jason revealing that he thinks his own song sucks?) --He tells PopEater.com, quote, "I heard ['Introducing Me'], and it was just a tremendous, tremendous horror of a tune." --But he adds, quote, "I noticed a few similarities in the melody, but it wasn't enough to pick up the phone and argue with somebody about it. If anything, I just wanted [the] $1.29 back that [it cost me] on iTunes." (--You can compare "Introducing Me" to "I'm Yours" at the link below. There may be some slight similarities, but regardless, Jason's right . . . Nick's song is absolutely terrible.)
http://www.popeater.com/2010/11/09/jason-mraz-jonas-brothers-im-yours/
(--Below the two songs, you can watch video of Jason making the comments.) (--It sort of answers the question I had: Why is Jason Mraz downloading the "Camp Rock 2" soundtrack? Basically, Jason says he only bought it after a bunch of people told him they thought it ripped off his song.)

PHIL COLLINS DISCOVERED PARANORMAL ACTIVITY AT THE ALAMO . . . AND OCCASIONALLY HAS TROUBLE WIPING HIMSELF:
These days, PHIL COLLINS is more interested in the Battle of the Alamo than in music. And he's not just an Alamo history buff . . . he's a collector. He says he has hundreds of cannonballs, documents, and other artifacts in his basement in Switzerland. --And now, he thinks some of the photos he's taken at the site of the Alamo show GHOSTS . . . or something like them. --Phil told "Rolling Stone" there are, quote, "glowing, semi-transparent light orbs" in the pictures, and he believes they represent, quote, "paranormal energy." --Phil has also been told by a psychic that he fought at the Alamo in a previous life . . . and he thinks it could be true. --He says, quote, "I don't want to sound like a weirdo. I'm not Shirley MacLaine, but I'm prepared to believe. You've seen the pictures. You can't deny them." --Phil also talks about the neck and spinal cord injury that essentially makes it impossible for him to play the drums like he used to, because he can't grip the sticks. --He says, quote, "I was going to stop drumming anyway . . . I don't miss it." But it limits him in other ways too. He says he occasionally has trouble WIPING HIMSELF. --And he admits that he's had suicidal thoughts over the past few years . . . quote, "I wouldn't blow my head off. I'd overdose or do something that didn't hurt. But I wouldn't do that to the children. --"A comedian who committed suicide in the '60s left a note saying, 'Too many things went wrong too often.' I often think about that."
KANYE WEST ADMITS THAT HE'S "NOT A GOOD CELEBRITY":
By now, everyone knows that KANYE WEST'S biggest problem is that he won't stop talking about Kanye West. How it is that Kanye can't understand that is beyond me. --But Kanye is back in VICTIM mode. (--Kanye has THREE modes: "It's all about me, Attack mode," "It's all about me, victim mode," and "It's actually NOT all about me for now, COOL mode." He spends 99% of his time bouncing back and forth between the first two.) --On Twitter yesterday, Kanye whined, quote, "I've decided to fall back a bit on interviews in order to 'sell my album.' I can't come up with some magic trick to make people like me. --"I've made mistakes, I've paid the price, now it is what it is. I'm [going to] make this art, but I'm not going to be scrutinized as a human being. No more [GEORGE] Bush questions . . . no more Taylor [SWIFT] questions . . . --"No more relationship questions . . . and the music is unquestionable sooooo . . . --"I am a creative person. I'm not a good celebrity, but I'm a great artist. I'm tired of using my celebrity to sell my art."
EMINEM HAS ONLY EVER READ *ONE* BOOK . . . LL COOL J'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY:
EMINEM has only ever read ONE BOOK in his life . . . and it isn't something predictable like The Bible, "Catcher in the Rye" or "Jane Eyre". --It was LL COOL J's autobiography, "I Make My Own Rules". (--It was published in 1998.) --Eminem tells "Rolling Stone", quote, "The only book I ever read from front to back was LL's autobiography. I just never really got into books. But I've always been good at English and I always had a lot of words in my vocabulary." --By the way, Eminem also says that he does a lot of his writing . . . on the toilet. --He says, quote, "I think we do most of our best thinking on the (crapper). What else do you have to do in there besides think?"

TODAY'S STUPID NEWS, IN BRIEF:
#1.) Here's a new idea for keeping your family from KILLING EACH OTHER during the holidays. A new study finds that people calm down if they see MEAT. It's because our ancestors relaxed when they had cooked meat in front of them, since it meant no survival worries for a little while. (Full story)

WANT TO STOP PEOPLE FROM FIGHTING THIS THANKSGIVING? JUST MAKE SURE THEY CAN SEE THE TURKEY:
Researchers at McGill University in Montreal think they've found a way to stop your family from getting into its annual fight this Thanksgiving. And it DOESN'T involve thousands of dollars of therapy. --They just finished a study that found people get less aggressive when they see MEAT. So if you want to keep Thanksgiving peaceful, make sure everyone has a good view of the turkey. --Frank Kachanoff is the psychology researcher who led the study. He says he was surprised by the result . . . he figured meat would make people MORE aggressive, because, biologically, it would evoke thoughts of HUNTING. --But now he believes the sight of meat calms us down, because our ancestors knew that having meat in front of you meant you could relax, since you wouldn't have to worry about starvation and survival for a little while. --Even though we've evolved since then, we still have those instincts. --And now for PETA's response. They issued a statement saying, quote, "Clearly, eating meat does support horrible violence, but apparently seeing meat does not cause people to become more aggressive." --They also speculated that the sight of meat calms people down because it instantly makes us think of the physiological effects of eating meat . . . like slower blood flow and drowsiness. (Vancouver Sun)
GOOD NEWS: MAJOR RETAILERS ARE ENTERING INTO A MASSIVE PRICE WAR TO TRY TO SELL TOYS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON:
This is some good news for parents . . . especially parents whose kids don't like to hear words like "economy" or "recession" or "we can't buy you toys because ever since your father got fired all of our extra money goes toward buying scotch." --Four of the biggest toy retailers in the country are already getting into a MASSIVE price war . . . with each of them trying to provide the best deals and get your business this holiday season. Here's what they're doing.
--TARGET. They're already putting half of their 2,000 toys on sale this year, an increase of 10% from last year. They're also pushing their Target credit and debit cards, which give an extra 5% off . . . something no one else is offering.
--WAL-MART. They've basically gone through Target's prices and made sure all of their prices are lower . . . even if it's just by a few pennies. They're also focusing on bigger cuts on some of the most popular toys.
--TOYS "R" US. They're stocking a wider variety of toys than ever . . . offering free shipping deals online . . . and offering up to 10% back on holiday purchases over $500 if you join their loyalty program. The 10% back is in store credit, not cash.
--AMAZON.COM. Throughout the holiday season they're going to be offering 25% off different toys . . . it will change regularly. They also offer free shipping on all of the toys they stock. (Yahoo Finance)
TEENAGERS WHO SEND A LOT OF TEXTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO DRINK, USE DRUGS, AND HAVE SEX?
For as long as there have been parents, they've been FREAKING OUT about how new trends they don't fully understand will lead their sweet little angels to DEVIANCE. --They said it about cars, they said it about rock music, they said it about video games. And now . . . a new study is saying it about texting. --According to Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, teenagers who send at least 120 text messages a day are more likely to drink, smoke, fight, do drugs, and have sex. --The researchers studied more than 4,200 students at public high schools around Cleveland. They found kids who sent at least 120 texts each day were 350% more likely to have sex than kids who don't send as many texts. --They were also 40% more likely to smoke, 43% more likely to binge drink, 41% more likely to use drugs, and 55% more likely to be in a fight. --Now, the researchers say it's not quite time to panic about texting yet. Their best theory on why texting is connected to making bad choices comes back to the parents. --Dr. Scott Frank, who led the study, says, quote, "If parents are monitoring their kids' texting and social networking, they're probably monitoring other activities as well." (Cleveland Plain Dealer)
SO . . . UH . . . ANYONE KNOW WHO LAUNCHED A MISSILE OFF THE COAST OF CALIFORNIA ON MONDAY?
It's not exactly reassuring when MISSILES are flying around the country . . . and the military has NO idea who launched them or where they're headed. --And that seems to be what happened on Monday night. --On Monday around sunset, a news helicopter from KCBS in Los Angeles captured video of a missile that was launched off the coast. And no one seems to know where it came from. --No missile tests were scheduled by the U.S. military for Monday. None of the local bases or ships have claimed the missile. And no one seems to be able to figure it out. --John Cornelio is a spokesman with the North American Aerospace Defense Command . . . a.k.a. 'NORAD.' And he says they're, quote, "very confident that the missile was not fired from a foreign military." --"If it were an attack we would've known it and we would have done something about it." --The missile flew about 35 miles out to sea before the cameras lost sight of it. No one seems to know where it was headed or where it landed. --The military is still trying to determine if it was accidentally launched from a Naval station or Air Force base in Los Angeles, or from a U.S. sub or surface ship.

AN 11-YEAR-OLD TRACKS DOWN THE MAN WHO STOLE HIS FAMILY'S CAMPER . . . USING GOOGLE STREET VIEW:
Google fights crime! Last June, someone stole a camper parked in the driveway of the Soames family in Derbyshire, England. Now, a year later, the family FINALLY has a lead on who took it . . . thanks to a combination of Google and crazy luck. --11-year-old Reuben Soames was messing around with Google Maps and searched for his family's address. When he found it, he pulled up the Google Street View. --If you aren't familiar, Google sends vans around the world taking pictures, so you can actually see what the area looks like at street level, instead of just looking at an aerial view. That's called Google Street View. --Well, in an AMAZING coincidence, it looks like the Google Street View photo was taken in June of 2009 . . . RIGHT when the camper was getting stolen. And there's a pretty clear look at the guy who probably stole it. --In the screenshot from Google, the guy is standing by his SUV . . . which he parked in the Soames' driveway . . . and looks to be buttoning or unbuttoning his pants. (--Um . . .) --The Soames family forwarded the info to the police, and they released the photo to the public, asking if anyone recognizes the man. They're still trying to track him down. (The Telegraph)
A YOUNG GIRL GETS CARJACKED . . . IN HER FISHER-PRICE POWER WHEELS BARBIE JAMMIN' JEEP:
Last week, a young girl in Crestview, Florida was riding around in her Fisher-Price Power Wheels Barbie Jammin' Jeep. That's one of those little battery-operated cars that kids can actually drive. This one's pink and covered in Barbie graphics. -As she was driving around outside her house, a grown woman drove up and CARJACKED the little girl. (--None of the names or ages of any of the people involved has been released.) --The woman forced the little girl out of the Barbie Jeep, loaded it into her car, and drove off. She ended up selling it for $20 . . . but it goes for about TWELVE TIMES THAT new, about $240. --And it turned out the woman who stole the Jeep knew the little girl's family. When the girl's family put all the clues together, they told the woman they wouldn't go to the cops if she returned the Jeep within 24 hours. --But the woman told them she'd already sold it. So the family called the police, and the woman was arrested.
(Northwest Florida Daily News)
A MAN IN ILLINOIS WAS ARRESTED FOR PUNCHING HIS FEMALE BOSS AFTER SHE FIRED HIM:
It's probably not a good idea to threaten your boss with physical violence. Especially if you're a man and your boss is a woman. But it's even worse to actually FOLLOW THROUGH on the violence, like the guy in this story. --Last Thursday, 32-year-old Michael Yarbrough of Glen Ellyn, Illinois returned to his job at a baby merchandise store called Buy Buy Baby, after two months out with a broken leg. He'd been with the store about two-and-a-half years before that. --He'd only been back working for a few hours when his female boss told him he wasn't doing a very good job on inventorying some of the merchandise. --They got into an argument, and he said to her, quote, "You're lucky we're on the clock." She responded, quote, "What are you going to do? Hit a girl?" And he answered, quote, "Yes." --So he was fired. --And that's when Michael followed through on his threat . . . and PUNCHED his female boss in the head. Then he turned around, punched a male store manager in the face, and walked out. --The store called the police, and Michael was arrested on two counts of battery. He's also prohibited from entering the store or having contact with either of the people he punched. (Chicago Tribune Local)

NAZZY’S SILLY VIDEOS OF THE DAY
#1.) A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYER DID BACKFLIPS BEFORE A PLAY TO DISTRACT THE OTHER TEAM . . . AND GOT EJECTED:
On Friday, a high school football player and his coach were ejected from a game after the kid did back-handsprings across the field during a play. He was trying to distract the other team before the snap on a two-point conversion. --Actually, there's no RULE against it, and some people think there shouldn't have been a penalty, because it was a creative way to distract the other team.

One of the best parts of the movie "Anchorman" is STEVE CARELL as the idiot weatherman, Brick Tamland. But Carell didn't get the part out-right. Since he wasn't as famous back then, he had to audition for it. And the audition tape is HILARIOUS.

There's a kid on YouTube who apparently only settles down if he listens to reggae.

(--Search for "Bob Marley chills baby." He chills out at :34)

FOUR WAYS TO JUDGE A GOOD BABY NAME:
When some couples have a baby, they can't settle on a name until the kid is two or three weeks old. It sounds weird but it's not that uncommon. --So whether you're expecting, or you just want to have kids SOMEDAY, here are four ways to judge a good baby name . . .
#1.) WHAT'S YOU'RE INSTANT REACTION? It's best to choose a name that makes you feel positive as soon as you hear it. You can definitely get USED to a name, but it's not ideal.
#2.) HOW MANY SYLLABLES DOES IT HAVE? A lot of people think names sound best if the first, middle, and last names all have a different number of syllables.
--So, if you like the name "Autumn", and your last name is "Jones", pick a middle name with three or four syllables. Or if you decide on a middle name FIRST, you can use that to help shorten your list of possible FIRST names.
#3.) WHAT WOULD THE INITIALS BE? Obviously, you'd probably notice if the initials spelled out S.T.D. But even initials like P.I.G. or D.U.H. might have a psychological effect on a child.
--In 1999, researchers at the University of California in San Diego studied death certificates from 1969 to 1995, and found 2,287 sets of initials that were deemed to be "negative".
--Then they also found 1,200 sets of "positive" initials, like A.C.E. and V.I.P. And on average, the people with positive initials lived about four-and-a-half years longer.
#4.) HOW EASY IS IT TO UNDERSTAND? If you're thinking about an uncommon name, try it out on people first and see how hard it is to understand. --Keep in mind that if people always need you to repeat it, that's probably what your child will have to deal with for the rest of their life. --But don't tell people it's a POSSIBLE baby name, because then they might not be honest about it. Just tell them you met someone with the name "Meredith" or "Duskin," then ask if they've ever met someone with that name before. (Nameberry.com)
