The "Eclipse" star is leading the way in the latest AccessHollywood.com "Hottest Bachelor" poll. With 32-percent of the vote, he just edges out Leonardo DiCaprio to take the top spot. Pattinson's "Twilight Saga" rival Taylor Lautner is coming in a rather distant third place as the choice of 23-percent. An even closer vote on the ladies' side leaves Aniston and the newly single Bullock in a tie for first place in AccessHollywood.com's "Hottest Bachelorette" poll, each with support from 30-percent of the respondents. Halle Berry follows at 24-percent, while ten-percent pick the also recently single Jenny McCarthy.

Jackson Making More Money In the Afterlife! Michael Jackson's company, MJ Inc., has generated at least $1 billion in revenue in the year following his death, Billboard said. Sales of Jackson's albums, a lucrative new record deal with Sony Music and the release of the Jackson concert film "This is It" has helped put an estimated $1 billion in the coffers of the recording artist's estate since last June. ****His dad is thinking, “What took you so long?” ***If I was Janet, I’d stay away from Papa Joe when he’s doing his bills!!! ******Somebody tell Lindsay Lohan she could get richer!!!! *****This news somehow makes Paul MacCartney even angrier!!!! ****Don’t get any ideas! The old “more money after death” thing doesn’t apply to YOU!

Racy Cyrus Photo Published Reuters has distributed a very revealing photo of Miley Cyrus taken during her performance at the MuchMusic Awards Sunday. How revealing? Most websites that purchase photos from the agency have taken it upon themselves to censor the photo. The pic in question is from Cyrus' Can't be Tamed performance, in which she wears a white, high-cut piece of lingerie. The photo was taken just as she took off another piece covering her, causing the clothes underneath to shift. It shows skin extremely close to her groin, literally a centimeter away from being obscene. It only adds to the ongoning situation with Perez Hilton, who cheekily linked to the Reuters photo with a very similar Twitter post that had him accused of child pornography. According to FOXNews, Reuters was concerned with photo and decided to restrict its publishing right in culturally sensitive areas. However, FOXNews observed no restrictions when it tried to download the photo. "The picture is not prosecutable," former Los Angeles sex crimes prosecutor Robin Sax told FOXNews. ****For crying out loud! ****Is she 40 yet? ****How long do we have to play “hide and seek” with her private parts????? ****Just cover up! *****I love how people are forgetting that she’s really a country-bumpkin at heart!!!! *****Wait until we find out that she chews Skoal!!!! *****I she gets naked---to take a SHOWER!!!! *****Alright I’m going to look—BUT just to uphold my journalistic integrity!!!!

Coleman Restraining Order Details are emerging about a fears that led to a secret restraining order the late actor Gary Coleman took out against his former wife. Coleman applied for the restraining order months before former wife Shannon Price took the actor off life support. The documents were filed in a Utah County, Utah, court under the names John Doe and Jane Doe. In court documents dated February 19th, Coleman alleged Price had, quote, "shown a tendency to damage, destroy and steal my property." He referred to her as a trespasser in his home. The judge granted the request for a restraining order until a hearing set for March 2nd. ****Guess that restraining order is a moot point now! ****He should have asked for the order along with his marriage license! *****Gary was on life support…how is she still alive with no heart!?!?! ***Too bad they don’t have soul transplants…this chick could use one!!!

Simon Split Rumors Simon Cowell's representative has dismissed rumors the reality TV judge has parted ways with his fiancée Mezhgan Hussainy - following growing speculation of a split. He hasn't been seen in public with his partner for several weeks and he has appeared at a string of high profile events, including a recent outing to Britain's famed Ascot racecourse, without the make-up artist on his arm. However, his longtime spokesman, public relations guru Max Clifford, is adamant the couple hasn't broken up - they have just been parted by their hectic work schedules over the last two months. He tells Britain's Metro newspaper, "They'll be together again this week. She is flying over (to Britain). Although they have been apart, they have been speaking every day on the phone." ***She should be happy! ***The last time he broke up with a girlfriend, he gave her a house! *****How can she be busy? What else dos she need to do except BE with Simon!?!?!? ******They’re both going to have a lot of free time very soon!!! ****England should pay Simon to either give their soccer team a pep talk, or make them cry!!!!

Odom Gets Big Gift After Win Helping his team win the NBA championship title should be a gift in and of itself for Los Angeles Laker Lamar Odom, but his wife must have thought the big win needed more celebration than a ticker tape parade. E! News reports that Khloe Kardashian, Lamar's wife of nearly nine months, bought him a Rolls-Royce. The car is said to retail at $443,000, and Kardashian's mother, Kris Jenner, calling it "fabulous," told E! News a few details about the gift. "It's a brand-new 2010 Rolls-Royce," Jenner said. "Drop-top coupe, white on white." Jenner was most likely describing the 2010 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe, which Car and Driver magazine calls "pretty much everything you'd expect from a convertible that costs half a million dollars." The review of the Rolls, written by satirist and pundit, P.J. O'Rourke, also referred to the car as "faster than the stink of how rich you'd have to get to buy one." *****You can say this for those Kardashian sisters: SOMETHING may stink, but it’s not their butts! ****Why don’t we ever meet girls like this? ****He’s lucky… ***…a lot of athlete’s wives would run over their husbands with a Rolls!!! *****You should see the wedding ring she got him!!!!

Jay-Z Owes For Private Jet Singer Jay-Z is facing legal action after allegedly failing to pay for flights on a private jet. Executives at Air Platinum Holding are suing Jay-Z - real name Shawn Carter - over claims he paid for just 37 of 55 hours of travel on the company's planes in 2009. They're demanding $81,000 for 18 hours of allegedly unpaid flight time. He has also been accused of failing to cover various other fees, including $24,200 for a luxury trip to England, a $12,285 tax charge, $8,500 for catering on 17 flights within the U.S. and $3,000 for food on four international trips. Bosses are seeking $137,485 from Carter in total. ****$137,485? We thought you were talking about REAL money! ****Jay-Z could find that much in the seat cushions of his couch! ******That’s what he usually has to pay in luggage fees when he travels like a real person!!!! *****You want to call out Jay-Z like that? Be prepared to work for him now, because he just bought your air fleet!!!!

Lohan SCRAM Photo Shoot Lindsay Lohan is to pose naked wearing only her alcohol-monitoring bracelet for a scandalous new photo shoot. She will bare all for to promote her 6126 line of handbags, according to LAmag.com. Insiders report Lohan has agreed to strip off and roll around on a bed for the shoot, which will take place in Los Angeles next month. Police have reportedly been asked if the SCRAM device fixed to the actress' leg can be removed for the shoot. If not, the star will wear it. Lohan's new handbags will hit stores later this year. ****’Cause nothing makes a woman want to buy a handbag like a picture of another woman naked! *****Is she still trying to make it in fashion!?!?! *****It’s a good thing that she didn’t let “nobody wanting to buy her stuff” get in the way of success!!!!

Abdul In Lakers Parade Paula Abdul used her Twitter feed Monday morning to connect with fellow Lakers fans. She wrote, quote, "Hey tweeties! I'm in the middle of the crowd at the Lakers parade right now!!!!!" In tweets that followed, Abdul joked with followers about literally being up to her eyeballs in armpits due to the huge crowd that came out. The Los Angeles Lakers' victory parade began at 11:00 a.m. local time Monday. Abdul started out as a Laker Girl while attending her first year of college at Cal-State Northridge in the 1980s. She quickly rose to the role of head choreographer for the group of NBA cheerleaders after just three months on the squad. ***Paula is maybe 4’11”!!!! ***So she got a good look at a lot of Mexican-American butts! ****Imagine that. ****Paula Abdul blending into a crowd full of blitzed Latinas!!!! *****She then tweeted, “this is getting kind of dangerous, and I think my car and hair are on fire!!!”

Jolie Goes To Haiti Angelina Jolie has spent the night at an SOS house in Santo, Haiti, outside of Port-au-Prince, the charitable organization said Monday. SOS Children's Villages is a global agency that says it focuses on family-based, long-term care of children. Jolie is a United Nations goodwill ambassador. SOS said the film star visited with and brought toys for the children, and met with President Rene Preval, current and former Haitian ministers, judges and lawyers, and U.S. State Department officials regarding child protection in the Caribbean island nation. Before the overnight stay, Jolie held a dinner and roundtable discussion aimed at studying the Haitian legal system as it pertains to child protection issues and exploring mechanisms for strengthening the government's capacity to address these needs. This is her second visit to an SOS facility in Haiti. ****She was actually returning a child she’d adopted last month! ***Wrong size! ****For a rich person, she sure doesn’t know how to pick good vacation destination!!!!

CELEBRITY PHOTO OF THE DAY!

I guess there’s not going to be a Sopranos Movie!! Ripping The Tabloids (Throughout the week, we’ll give you the stories from that weeks tabs!) **Please Credit Publication!

Take That, You Dirty Rat Dept.-(National Enquirer) “Desperate Housewives” star Doug Savant, who plays Felicity Huffman’s hubby, and real-life wife Laura Leighton of “Melrose Place” were evicted from their home vicious by Hollywood rats (the four-legged kind)-but finally defeated the horde of sharp-toothed critters that drove them to live in a hotel for months with their two little kids. Said a Backstage Squealer: “Laura was afraid the rats would bite the children, so she pressured Doug to move out of their Hollywood Hills home and into a hotel! Doug agreed-but not because he was intimidated. He hired exterminators and remodeled, of course, but he’d go over to the house and personally kill the rats. Doug was ever so proud of that, and loved showing dead rodent snapshots to the ‘Housewives’ cast. It really grossed everybody out!”

Anxious For Baby-(Globe) Kate Hudson isn’t the only one feeling broody lately. So is her ex beau Dax Shepard’s fiancée Kristen Bell! Unlucky-in-love Kate- mom to Ryder, 6,-has been telling pals she can’t wait to have another kid, even though she has no steady man in her life. And Dax and Kristen, who got engaged in December, are anxious to hear the pitter patter of little feet, too. The couple even hired celebrity interior designer Kari Whitman to turn one of the bedrooms of their LA home into a nursery. “It wouldn’t surprise me if Kristen gets pregnant before she and Dax tie the knot,” says a source. “They both talk about it all the time and are trying really hard.”

Sweet Talk-(Us Weekly) “Our families have the same values and traditions. I think that goes a long way, because when the excitement and heat of romance wears off, those are the things you fall back on.”-On 13 happy years with wife Caroline, Chris O’Donnell. “Men can get comfortable [too]. I like Antonio to think of me like his eternal girlfriend.”-On why she doesn’t want to wed longtime fiancé Antonio de la Rua, Shakira. “I’m just going to come out of the closet right now. I’m going to say, ‘Thank you.’ I tend to confuse privacy with not saying thank you, so, I love you.”-Finally opening up about beau of 10 years Keith Britton, Zoe Saldana. Hot Dog!-(Star) We’ve all heard of a guy sending a girl a drink to get her attention. But a wiener? That’s a new one. On May 27, Joe Jonas was so into a cute blonde at the Lakers vs. Suns game at the Staples Center in LA that he sent her a hot dog and a cola. “The girl was totally surprised to find out her snack was courtesy of Joe Jonas,” a source says. The shy gal wrote her name and phone number on a napkin and asked the waiter to deliver it to the pop hunk. Jokes the source, “I hope he got tipped well for playing matchmaker!”

Tom and J.Lo Stole the Show!-(Life & Style) Looks like Jennifer Lopez has been giving pal Tom Cruise secret dance lessons! Channeling his Tropic Thunder character, evil studio tycoon Les Grossman, Tom opened the 2010 MTV Movie Awards show with J.Lo in a hilarious dance routine to her hit tune “Get Right.” “It was a blast!” he said afterward. “You know, I can dance a bit, and we rehearsed. And my wife is a dancer, so I like dancing.” Jennifer and Tom have been friends for four years and Katie was in the front row cheering them on!

Questions For Bradley Cooper-(People) The A-Team star dishes on his buff bod, pizza pig-outs and what makes a perfect date night. At 6’1” with a size 14 shoe, Bradley Cooper is a Hollywood rarity: a big leading man. What was it like seeing yourself so pumped up in The A- Team?-When I first saw myself, I thought it was a joke. Like someone put my head on another person’s body. For a while I was e-mailing my friends pictures of me, saying, ‘Dude, check this out!’” How long did the muscles last? Are you human again?-I shrunk back down two weeks after we finished shooting. It was depressing. Before that, I spent much longer brushing my teeth [to look at myself in the mirror]. What was the hardest part about getting so buff?-No carbs, I was craving pizza so badly that the night we finished shooting I ate two arugula and prosciutto pies and a plate of Cherry Garcia ice cream with trail mix on top of it. And I did it again the next night. What’s your ideal date night?-Just being comfortable, when you can laugh. I’m not big on the pageantry of a date, though. (Cooper, who’s dated Renee Zellweger since last summer, says he finds it “fascinating” to read about his romantic life in the press.)

Last Laughs-(In Touch) “I’m going to miss Simon Cowell. Now the only people we have left to yell at us are Judge Judy and Dr. Phil.”-Jimmy Kimmel on Jimmy Kimmel Live! “50 Cent lost more than 50 pounds for a movie role….and to be harder to shoot at.”-Jimmy Kimmel on Jimmy Kimmel Live! “It’s rumored that Justin Bieber dropped the F-bomb on the set of an Australian talk show. If I was his mom, I would wash his mouth out with soap…and then sell that soap on eBay for a million dollars.”-Jimmy Fallon on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. “What a storybook ending to Sex and the City 2-at the end, Samantha becomes the next Mrs. Larry King.”-David Letterman on Late Show With David Letterman. “Fergie was caught selling access to her ex-husband, the Duke of York, for $700,000. I hope this doesn’t affect her performing with the Black Eyed Peas.”-Chelsea Handler on Chelsea Lately.

AROUND THE WORLD

General In Hot Water General Stanley McChrystal is in hot water over a controversial magazine article. The top commander in Afghanistan has been summoned to meet with President Obama over critical remarks by McChrystal and some of his top aides in "Rolling Stone." Calling the article an "enormous mistake in judgment," presidential spokesman Robert Gibbs revealed Obama was angry after reading the piece. Gibbs said "all options are on the table" for the meeting. The piece reports the general made demeaning remarks about Vice President Joe Biden. It also states that McChrystal's top aides described two Obama administration figures as a "clown" and a "wounded animal." Other top military men criticized McChrystal for the article. ****McDonald’s has named a burger after him… it’s in the new “UN-Happy Meal!” ****The McChrystal: “It’s got a beef, it’s saucy, and now it’s in a pickle!” ***Unlike radio, in the military it doesn’t pay to say what you’re thinking! ******I am COMPLETELY SHOCKED!!! …someone still reads Rolling Stone!?!?!?! ****The General wasn’t paying attention when Helen Thomas said what she was thinking… ****You can’t do it, and if you do it…there’s going to be problems!!!! ******In all fairness, they do call the “clown” aide the “Patch Adams of the White House!!!!”

iPad Sales Apple has sold three-million of its iPad tablet computers in less than three months since the product's launch. The iPad has helped Apple overtake Microsoft as the world's most valuable technology company. A number of stock brokerage firms, including UBS, have in turn raised their estimates on iPad sales for 2010. UBS increased its sales projection for this year from four-point- eight million iPads to six-point-eight million, citing improved supply and international expansion. The device will be rolled out in nine more countries around the world in July. ****We hope Steve Jobs lives long enough to enjoy the fruits of his leadership! ****BTW: Which government agency designed the i-Pad, again? ****Steve Jobs should just cut to the chase and invent a computer that just prints money!!!! ****Just wait until Christmas and kids are using these things as dominos!!!

McDonald’s May Be Sued The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) is planning to launch a lawsuit against McDonald's unless the fast food giant ceases its marketing strategy aimed at children. The non- profit food safety group's executive director Michael Jacobson explained the action CSPI has on its legal plate. Jacobson specifically pointed to McDonald's use of toys in its Happy Meals as a major offender. He said the items are a marketing tool to entice children and their parents into restaurants to consume unhealthy foods in order to amass a collection of miniature figures. ****And that’s wrong… because? ****We should start a class action lawsuit against the CSPI… by all parents and grandparents!!! Seriously! ****These busy-body do-gooders are depriving us of our right to placate our kids! ******Newsflash: Food has been doing that since “Cracker Jacks!!!!” ****Grandpa didn’t drink his Ovaltine because he liked it…he did it for the Orphan Annie decoder ring!!! ******If you take away toys from food, kids would never eat cereal!!! ****McDonald’s is the only American company hiring anyone—can we just cut them some slack until the economy recovers a little bit!?!?!

Summer Travel Tips Consumers can save on this year's summer vacation trip by taking advantage of low rates on hotels as well as cruises. Travelocity senior editor Genevieve Shaw Brown suggests booking your hotel stay at a place that offers amenities like free breakfast or a free room upgrade to help save money. She also suggests trying a vacation package where you book your flight and hotel at the same time, which can translate to average savings of 525-dollars per person. Brown says cruises to places like the Caribbean or Alaska are good summer travel deals because they roll your trip expenses into one package. ****We just checked our budget, and we can afford to hitchhike to the Grand Canyon, begging for food along the way! ****Thank you Travelocity editor on tips to use Travelocity!!! ******Here’s an idea…drink cheaper beer, and spend your summer in a wading pool!!!! ****Saved me $540 a person!!!!

STUPID NEWS

Anti-Rape Condom A South African doctor has invented a so-called 'anti-rape' condom for women that features "teeth" that grip a man's penis. Dr. Sonnet Ehlers hopes the Rape-aXe condom will combat rape in the most painful way possible. According to Ehlers, the condom is inserted by women like a tampon and its jagged teeth-like hooks inside attach to a man's penis during intercourse. Once it grabs hold, only a doctor can remove it. Ehlers hoped this will help authorities to catch offenders. "It hurts, he cannot pee and walk when it's on," Ehlers said. "If he tries to remove it, it will clasp even tighter... however, it doesn't break the skin, and there's no danger of fluid exposure." "The ideal situation would be for a woman to wear this when she's going out on some kind of blind date ... or to an area she's not comfortable with," Ehlers said. The doctor is distributing 30,000 of these condoms in South Africa during this year's World Cup. ****Wait! Is the guy stuck inside? ***What happens when she has a few drinks and forgets to take it out? ****Is it “Sorry, honey?” *****Ah…sounds like marriage!!! *****Sorry…”anti-rape” means that rape DOESN’T happen!!!! *****This is just “makes for a painful rape” condom!!! No Whistling Town A South Carolina town is considering a measure that would add singing, whistling and hollering to a law banning annoying sounds on public streets. The Sullivan Island Town Council's proposed law, which may be ratified in July, would make it illegal to sing, yell, shout, whistle hoot or holler on public streets if it is annoying nearby people, particularly between the hours of 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. Town Administrator Andy Benke said the wording of the proposed law came from an ordinance in North Charleston, S.C. The town code already bans crying, calling, shouting and using musical instruments if they are deemed annoying by people nearby. ****Can we also add in that everyone has to “GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!”???? ***It’s a town full of grumpy old men!! ****I guess “recreation” is not this town’s specialty!!!

Ash Tattoo A Welsh woman whose son died said she had his ashes mixed with ink and tattooed into three designs on her back. Kim Mordue of Llanelli said her son Lloyd, a rugby player, died after taking the party drug GHB. She decided to memorialize him with the tattoos etched by her husband Dave, who owns a tattoo parlor. The mother said her tattoos depict a tree of life, an angel releasing a butterfly and a poem dedicated to Lloyd. "I've put Lloyd back where he started -- he's in my body again," Mordue said. "As soon as I knew it was possible I wanted to have the ashes tattoos as a tribute to Lloyd." Mordue said she hopes the tattoos will serve as a warning about the dangers of drugs. "Losing a child to drugs really is the worst nightmare a parent can have," she said. ****It’s probably good he’s dead… or else he’d be having some issues!! ****It’s not a reminder to not take drugs… ****…it’s a reminder to be more specific in your will!!!! *****I was hoping I wouldn’t have to have the “don’t inject my dead body into your skin” talk with my mom… ****…but this makes me think I’ll have to have it!!!!

Newlyweds Lose Money… Get It Back A Pennsylvania man found an envelope stuffed with $3,600 and returned it to the newlyweds who lost it after their wedding reception. David and Ashley Marasco, of Bridgeville, had mistakenly driven off with their wedding album on top of the trunk of their car Sunday. The money had been tucked inside. Another motorist pointed out the album on the trunk, but the envelope had already fallen out. Brennan Breene, also of Bridgeville, says he saw the envelope with cash sticking out Sunday in the middle of Washington Pike, a busy highway southwest of Pittsburgh. So, he stopped to pick it up. He says he learned about the Maraco's misfortune Monday from local news websites, so he gave the cash to police to be returned. ****Did the husband give him one shot with the bride as a reward? ****The Viagra was also on top of the car!!! *****They “somehow” knew that the guy found that as well!!!!

Angry Naked Cowboy New York City's famous Naked Cowboy wants a bikini-clad woman who calls herself The Naked Cowgirl to stop ripping off his trademark. The Times Square cowboy, whose real name is Robert Burck, is known for strumming his guitar wearing only briefs and a cowboy hat. He has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Sandy Kane, who wears a red, white and blue cowboy hat and matching bikini. Burck says if Kane's going to make money by posing for photos, he wants her to sign a "Naked Cowboy Franchise Agreement." Most of his licensed franchisees are required to pay $5,000 a year or $500 a month and go through a screening process. Kane, who is in her 50s, is a former stripper who's now a fixture of the city comedy scene. Her real name is Sandra Brodsky. She says she doesn't owe Burck anything. ****Now we know the Naked Cowboy’s secret!!! ****If the Naked Cowboy doesn’t want a Naked Cowgirl… he’s gay! *****His new nickname: “Brokeback Burke!” ***If you see this chick…you’d sue her for being naked too!!!! *****The Naked Cowboy is authentic!!! *****He still wears the same style of underwear that the wore in the Wild West!!!!

Pirates Festival Record Organizers of the NorCal Pirates Festival in California say they believe they have set a world record for most pirate-garbed people in one place. Shannon Damnavits, a spokeswoman for the Vallejo festival, said an estimated 2,300 pirates were photographed according to Guinness World Records rules and organizers are confident they beat the record of 1,744 set in Brixham, England. Damnavits said an official count is forthcoming and will be submitted to Guinness as a new record. The pirates were among the more than 18,000 people who visited the first day of the festival Saturday, with other activities including pirate-themed food, sword fight demonstrations and sea shanty performances. *****They had an advantage, because there are more “pirates” in Northern California than just about anywhere! ****They unintentionally set the record for the “most stoned swashbucklers to be photographed!!!”

Butterfly Funeral Residents of a California apartment complex said they attended a funeral for a Monarch butterfly organized by local children. The Mission Terracina Apartments residents in Vallejo said a group of about 10 children, led by 11-year-old Savone Cummings and 4-year-old Alayah Speller, made programs, a guest book and designed the service for Friday's memorial of the Monarch butterfly Cummings and Speller found dead in a carport Wednesday. "I was very surprised the kids did this," said Cherie Duncan, Cummings' mother. "They made programs and put them at everybody's door. They were singing and saying prayers. It was just a very positive thing." Debra Eanes, activities director for Mission Terracina, said she found the children's actions touching. "They came down to the office and asked me to come," Eanes said. "They were so into it. It's just very positive that kids could do something like this for a Monarch." ****You don’t want to be around when their dog dies!! ****They thought it was very positive until they realized the butterfly was just practice… ****…and the parents were next!!!!

MUSIC NEWS

Wilson To Rejoin Beach Boys Brian Wilson is rejoining The Beach Boys for a tour to mark the band's 50th anniversary. He will team up with the two other surviving founding members, singer Mike Love and guitarist Al Jardine, for a series of 2011 shows to mark five decades since the group formed in 1961. Wilson's brothers and band mates, Dennis and Carl Wilson, died in 1982 and 1998. The three remaining original members of the group last came together in 2006, putting their long-strained relationships and legal battles behind them to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their iconic Pet Sounds album. Love has since toured regularly under The Beach Boys name, with his son Christian and longtime member Bruce Johnston, while Wilson has been performing solo shows since 2002. And Love admits he is delighted the original band will be coming back together again next year. He tells the Las Vegas Sun, "Now we're gearing up for the 50th anniversary, and Brian Wilson, who has been working on some unfinished Gershwin music project, will rejoin us. I'm sad that Carl Wilson passed away 11, 12 years ago from the same lung cancer problem that claimed the life of George Harrison. That was not a fun time for us. But I am happy that now my son Christian is in the group. Yes, the line-up has changed over the years, but it's been pretty consistent the past several years." ****Insert Brian Wilson jokes here!!! *****I wonder if Brian himself knows!?!?!

Williams has been providing the opening for "Monday Night Football" for more than two decades. He remembers originally getting the gig, noting the late Merle Kilgore helped orchestrate the deal. Williams recalls, quote, "Merle said, 'Brother, they think they want to try you on 'Monday Night Football.' It was a one-year deal. Seven Super Bowls and all those years later, here we are." Williams shot the segment on Monday. ****That’ll pay for a new house! *****Thanks to the NFL, no one will ever remember how “All My Rowdy Friends” and “Hate Myself For Lovin’ You” REALLY go ever again!!! *****(That’s right, the Faith Hill song is “Hate Myself For Lovin’ You” by Joan Jett!!!!

Bowersox CD On The Way "American Idol" runnerup Crystal Bowersox's first album is due out later this year, 19 Recordings/Jive Records said. She is preparing for the upcoming "American Idol" Top 10 concert tour, which kicks off July 1 at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit. "Bowersox, who hails from Ohio, began playing music at 10 years old. Her bluesy, folk rock sound, which was influenced by the likes of Melissa Etheridge and Janis Joplin, made her a favorite early in the competition. Bowersox says her success on the show was inspired by her 1-year-old son," the label noted in a news release. "I'm really grateful to be given this opportunity to make an album and let people hear my music," Bowersox said. "And I'm looking forward to working with all of the folks at 19/Jive." ****She could also get an endorsement with White Strips! Just sayin’!!! *****Influenced by Janis Joplin and Melissa Etheridge…that means it’s slow music to NOT get laid by!!!! *****Unless you’re female, and a professional athlete with a penchant for denim!!!!

Gaga Always In Character Lady Gaga tells "Rolling Stone" magazine that she'll never step out without full Gaga regalia. She says, quote, "If I were to ever, God forbid, get hurt onstage and my fans were screaming outside the hospital, waiting for me to come out, I'd come out as Gaga." She was born Stefani Germanotta, but doesn't show that side of herself to fans. She says she won't even drink water while she's performing because she wants fans to be focused on the "fantasy of the music." Gaga points to the late King of Pop as her inspiration for how a star should behave. She says, quote, "Michael [Jackson] got burned, and he lifted that glittered glove so damn high so his fans could see him, because he was in the art of show business." ****We’re not sure what it all means… but it means something to somebody! ****Michael also took Propofol to sleep!!!! *****Now he wears that glittered glove with a skeleton hand in it!!!!

5 Job Skills That Can Hurt Your Career Yahoo HotJobs

Here are five abilities that will set you back professionally if taken to the extreme:

1. An ability to multitask Juggling several activities at once--say, listening in on a conference call, responding to email messages, and composing a project update for your boss--is a skill almost every worker claims to have or wishes to possess. But in actuality, multitasking is rarely effective. Why? Because constantly switching from one undertaking to another prevents you from giving your entire focus to any one task. As a result, your work quality is likely to suffer, and you may even spend more time finishing the projects than you would have if you'd tackled each separately. 2. A strong work ethic For some professionals, putting in extended hours is a badge of honor and a mark of effectiveness on the job. But long hours don't necessarily translate to productivity. While logging overtime is sometimes necessary in many jobs, making a habit of it could be a sign that you're unable to prioritize assignments, delegate projects, or simply work efficiently. Long hours also can lead to burnout. If you're spending an excessive amount of time at the office, consider speaking to your manager about your workload and ways to reduce it.

3. A can-do spirit Every company wants employees who won't wilt in the face of a challenge. But an upbeat attitude can backfire if you sugarcoat problems or make promises you can't keep ("Sure, we can deliver twice as much in half the time!"). The best employees possess an optimistic yet realistic outlook. An overly positive attitude also can be problematic if you don't allow yourself to vent frustration or disappointment when faced with significant setbacks. If you lose a major client or are passed over for a promotion, for instance, it's good to take time to acknowledge the loss, and then use that reflection period to develop a plan for moving forward. Just be sure you don't dwell on a setback or respond in an unprofessional way.

4. A knack for building visibility Ensuring that your manager is aware of your contributions on the job is important, but avoid stepping over coworkers in an effort to build your name. If you fail to acknowledge others' contributions or if you take credit for their achievements, you'll succeed only in building resentment.

5. A strong technical streak Whether you're an accountant, administrative assistant, or IT professional, it goes without saying that you must have a firm grasp of the technical requirements of your position. But there's more to succeeding on the job than being familiar with generally accepted accounting principles, for instance. You'll do yourself a disservice if you focus on your job's technical aspects entirely. Interpersonal skills--the ability to communicate and collaborate with diverse audiences, especially--are in high demand by employers. Soft skills become even more important as you move up the ranks. Often, individuals are chosen to lead project teams or oversee groups of employees in large part because of their interpersonal abilities, not their technical skills.
