Gossip! – Betty White is the new black

Come fall, I’m wearing Betty. Yep, Betty White is branching out into fashion. Women’s Wear Daily is saying the uber-star is launching a line of T-shirts and hoodies in August featuring her smiling face. Targeting the digital generation, the $48 hoodies (what a bargain!) feature washable earbuds and a jack to plug into iPods. Portions [...]

Talented kids – Kids as the Real Housewives

The brilliant minds at Babelgum bring us the pint-sized reenactment of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. And let me say you don’t know Jersey, until you’ve heard a ginger-headed six-year-old utter Caroline’s legendary line: “If you’re going to mess with my family, you’re messin’ with me!” Stop what you’re doing right this minute and [...]

Life 101 – We all bark for…

Westminster recently asked me if he could go to England. I thought it might be to sniff out the Abbey, but then I heard about this: a doggone smart entrepreneur in England is serving up doggie ice cream in flavors to make you bark. Chicken flavored ice cream served in a wafer cone with a [...]

Pet Fun – Lip synching turtle

Koopa the turtle is going places. Do your day a favor and listen as Koopa belts out some Etta James. He’s got lip synching down, even though turtles don’t have any lips. According to finger-on-the-pulse site Buzzfeed, amateur herpetologists know Koopa the Box Turtle as the turtle who paints. (Some are for sale on ebay [...]

Pet Fun – Quizno’s Commercial

Not sure why the Mad Men at Quizno’s decided that cute disembodied kitten faces will make you want to eat more foot-long subs, but this new commercial most definitely does not do it for me. I’d much rather watch this surprised kitten or these vacuum-riding kittens. Add a little cute to your day, but hold [...]

Life 101 – Drink up

I’m not sure what to say about this latest wine drinking aid. I almost decided to just present it without comment and tell you to go to Amazon and order yourself two. But what I NEED to know is why not just grab the bottle and a straw and call it a day? I will [...]

American Icons – Marilyn’s Chest X-ray

Proving that there’s a buyer for everything… a 1954 x-ray taken of Marilyn Monroe’s chest sold for a whopping $45,000 in a heated auction at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas! The 1954 X-ray was estimated to have a maximum selling price of $1,200! According to the President/CEO of Julien’s Auction, then 28-year-old Monroe was supposedly [...]

Gossip! – The Green Lantern

Entertainment Weekly has a sneak peek at Hollywood’s next superhero, Ryan Reynolds as The Green Lantern. If I were a betting man, I’d buy me some stock in Green Lantern on the Movie Futures Market. It’s got SMASH written all over it. With Ryan’s power ring (and his six-pack abs) I’ll go out on a [...]

Holidays – National Watermelon Month

July is National Watermelon Month, so proclaimed by Congress. Did you know that the United States produces 4,200,000,000 pounds of watermelon annually and it’s grown in 49 States? (I’m guessing Alaska is stuck on wolf hunting.) Read the House Proclamation here. Or enjoy these darn cute pictures of polar bears eating watermelon. This weekend I’m [...]
