2009-07-19T15:55:00.005-04:00

25-year-old Jonah Hill talked about his "Twitter" impostor on a recent appearance on "The Late Night Show With David Letterman."

The "Superbad" actor doesn't have a Twitter account and has never even been to the Twitter website.

Check out this David Letterman clip to see what Jonah Hill has to say about his annoying Twitter impersonator:

Erin Andrews Peephole Video - American Sportscaster Tops Google Search

2009-07-19T10:48:00.005-04:00

For the last three days the phrase "erin andrews peephole video" has topped the Google Search Trends list. Which means that everybody and their uncle is searching for the Erin Andrews peephole video online.

Erin Andrews is a 31-year-old American Sports broadcaster and was voted "America's Sexiest Sportscaster" by Playboy magazine in 2007 and 2008.

Out of curiosity I decided to finally go and read an article about Erin Andrews to find out what this whole peephole video thing was about. It turns out that some demented pervert video taped either Erin Andrews or a girl that resembles her through a hotel room peephole. That's just plain sick.

At least Erin Andrews is getting a whole lot of free publicity but is it worth the embarrassment? I doubt it.

Here's a CNN video clip of a blogging debate, I'm sure that as news of Carmen Bousada's death spreads, the motherhood/age debate will rekindle:

Michael Jackson Unmasked - A New Revealing Look At Michael Jackson's Last Years

2009-07-16T11:04:00.004-04:00

A new revealing Michael Jackson book "Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson" written by Ian Halperin shares years of interviews and research that suggests that in Michael's final years he was surrounded by leeches who cared more about his money than his failing health.

Listening to the author of the "Michael Jackson Unmasked" book, his point of view is much like that of the Jackson family. It definitely looks like an interesting read for Michael Jackson fans, take a look at author Ian Halperin talking about "Unmasked" on CNN:

Richard Jefferson Wedding Called Off - Kesha Ni Cole Nichols Dumped

2009-07-15T13:01:00.004-04:00

Richard Jefferson, 29, is a San Antonio Spurs NBA basketball player, who was planning on marrying his sexy fiance Kesha Ni'Cole Nicols, a former Net dancer. But right before the wedding Jefferson changed his mind and decided to call the whole thing off.

The runaway groom not only broke Kesha Ni'Cole Nicols heart but also left wedding guests confused as they showed up to the 2 million dollar Manhattan wedding. With such short notice there wasn't enough time to let all of the guests know that Richard Jefferson dumped his bride-to-be before the big day.

After hearing about how Richard Jefferson ditched the wedding I felt so bad for Kesha Ni Cole Nichols. I'm sure that Jefferson knew well beforehand that he didn't want to get married, so why put the poor girl through planning an entire wedding?

Miss Howard Stern "Andrea Ownbey" In Serious Car Crash

2009-07-14T13:03:00.004-04:00

"Miss Howard Stern," Andrea Ownbey was in a car accident on June 22, 2009. Today is the first time I've read any news about Andrea Ownbey's accident, likely because the death of superstar Michael Jackson has dominated the news headlines for the past couple of weeks.

Andrea Ownbey was listed in serious condition after her convertible ran into a telephone pole. Apparently Andrea Ownbey was not wearing her seat belt at the time of the crash and was thrown from the car on impact. According to news reports Andrea Ownbey suffered head injuries and could possibly have brain damage.

Here's a video clip of Miss Howard Stern (Andrea) - Viewer discretion is advised:

Here's the video of Obama's latest teleprompter crash:

Jon Gosselin's New Girlfriend Hailey Glassman - Photo - Jon and Hailey Holding Hands

2009-07-13T14:55:00.005-04:00

Just weeks after Jon and Kate Gosselin announced they were beginning divorce precedings Jon Gosselin was caught on film holding hands with his new girlfriend Hailey Glassman. How tacky!

You'd think he could at least wait a few months before beginning a new relationship out of respect for his children's feelings (we already know he doesn't care about Kate's).

Hailey Glassman is the daughter of Kate Gosselin's tummy tuck plastic surgeon so you have to wonder just how long Jon Gosselin has known her. Kate Gosselin had a tummy tuck not too long after she had the sextuplets to get rid of the extra skin caused by carrying multiples.

No word yet on how Kate Gosselin feels about Jon Gosselin's new girlfriend Hailey Glassman or the fact that he's moving on so quickly after the divorce announcement.

In recent months Kate Gosselin has been very emotional over the divorce and will likely be crushed to find out that Jon has begun a new relationship already. I don't even watch the show "Jon & Kate Plus 8" anymore. I feel too sorry for the Gosselin kids and all they're going through.

Obama Checking Out Girl - Picture Of The President Looking At Young Girl's Body

2009-07-10T11:35:00.005-04:00

Today's top news headline "Obama Checking Out Girl" made me laugh. When Obama got caught on film checking out the very young Mayara Tavares some wondered who the pretty girl in the photograph was.

Mayara Tavares is a 17-year-old G8 junior delegate from Rio de Janiero, Brazil. I wonder if President Obama will be spending some time sleeping on the Presidential couch after the First Lady checks out the picture of her husband "checking out the teenage girl?"

At least he was simply looking, he wasn't exactly ogling. And to Obama's credit the girl in the photo doesn't exactly look like a teenager either.

Mariah Carey Apologizes For Her Memorial Service Performance - VIDEO

2009-07-08T17:46:00.006-04:00

Mariah Carey apologizes for her singing performance at yesterday's Michael Jackson Memorial Service. Mariah Carey posted a message on her Twitter page saying

"Sorry that I wasn't able to pull it together and really do it right,but I was literally choked up when I saw him there in front of me."

I don't think Mariah Carey needed to give an apology, it was obvious that the star was choked up. No one can sing well when they are upset. I think it was thoughtful of her to send out an apology to her fans via Twitter though.

Here's the video clip of Mariah Carey's performance at the Michael Jackson Memorial Service:

Rev Al Is A Racist According To Today's News Reports

2009-07-08T11:39:00.004-04:00

This morning's headlines are reading "Rev Al Is A Racist" and "Al Sharpton Racist" after Rev Al Sharpton gave a passionate speech at yesterday's Michael Jackson Memorial Service at the Staples Center.

Various news sites are stating that both Al Sharpton's Michael Jackson memorial speech and other comments he made about the public not having respect for the singer are racist in nature.

I watched the video clip of the Al Sharpton speech and personally can't figure out what he said that would be so offensive that Rev Al would now be considered a racist.

In Rev Al's Memorial speech he talked about how Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five opened the doorway to other African Americans in a time when America was extremely racially divided.

Check out the speech for yourself to see if you think Rev Al Sharpton's comments were racist:
