What folks are Googlin' this morning
"campus gossip" - There's a website that is being described as an online "Mean Girls" for Greeks. CampusGossip.com has created a forum where anything can be said about anybody. It was founded in 2007 by a 23-year old USC grad student to give college students a way to share their experiences with one another. Most of it is sexual, and most of it is pretty mean. You wonder how they can get away with it, really. You can also find gossip about your particular school with a quick search.
"sue sylvester vogue" - "Glee" is back! One of the hottest shows from last season returned last night with the Susan Sylvester video of Madonna's "Vogue." Recap of last night's episode can be found here
"dillon baxter" - If you're a college football fan, remember this name: Dillon Baxter. You'll hear it a lot next season. In fact, he's already being mentioned as a future Heisman winner. He plays for USC and blew everyone away in their spring intersquad scrimmage with this play (watch 51 seconds in... amazing):
"brian dunkleman" - What's up with Ryan Seacrest? Why is he acting like such a tool? Last night he was acting a bit bizarre by (#1) telling Adam Lambert that he has a "talented tongue," and then (#2) taking a shot at his former American Idol co-host, Brian Dunkleman, by saying he'd be hosting one of the two locations for next week's "Idol Gives Back" event. He followed it up with a laugh and a "just kidding." Actually, the co-host will be Queen Latifah. According to thisblogger, though, that was the only exciting part of Elvis week.
According toDialIdol.com, the three safe contestants tonight are:
#1 Michael Lynch
#2 Crystal Bowersox
#3 Casey James
The contestant most likely to leave: Katie Stevens

What's the one thing that other airline passengers do that drive you craaaaazy... if there were a parachute, you'd be gone.
I knew I was in trouble when some rather robust passengers filled up the two seats next to me, and then proceeded to unwrap a couple of giant sub sandwiches with an emphasis on onions. If my window-seat window would've opened...

Yes, I too have set myself on fire
A woman in a southern Indiana town has earned the coveted title of "Village Idiot" after setting her hairspray-coated follicles on fire. Dani Hamm was the top vote-getter at the Story Inn restaurant and bar just east of Bloomington. It seems Ms Hamm was driving to work last February when she lit up a cigarette. She then heard a "whoosh," which was the sound of her hair igniting. Dani was able to extinguish the hair-spray fueled fire with her hands. The title of "Village Idiot" comes with a grand prize of a $100 bar tab at the Inn.

CELEBRITY TWEETS
Kitty Kelly's new book on Oprah Winfrey hit shelves yesterday, and she describes the talk show queen as "asexual... because she has put all of her sexual energies into her work, into her career, into building her empire and the financial rewards that she gas gotten have been enough, really, to sustain her." (It does bring up a great question -- how much would you trade to be filthy rich? Would you be willing to give up all privacy? What about a chance at a long, healthy marriage? There's obviously not room for both, is there?)
Justin Bieber knows the key to staying famous in 2010 -- Twitter. He told MTV news that his fans have made him a trending topic every day for the past month. "It's pretty incredible...I love Twitter." Read the entire article here
Conan O'Brien is heading to TBS, as you know. So what happened with Fox? There were talks, but ultimately it came down to one little thing - money. A TV insider tells Popeater.com, "Conan wanted too much money." Not anymore. He took a huge hit in the wallet to get a show on TBS, and since it's cable, the expectations are lower. "Conan is being careful not to put himself in a position to fail again."
Charlotte Church is engaged. The 24-year old will marry rugby player Gavin Henson, the father of her two children. (picture)
New couple alert: Michael Bolton and Marla Maples. Yes, Donald Trump's ex-wife. Actually the two dated years ago, but recently reconnected when Bolton asked Maples to join him on tour in Canada. "It could lead to marriage," says an insider.
If you do a search on Twitter, don't be surprised to get a company's name pop up first in line. Twitter announced yesterday that it plans to make money by selling advertising called Promoted Tweets. The bigger the advertiser, the higher they go in the search results.
GONE: Former day-time actor Aiden Turner was shown the door on Dancing With the Stars last night. Kate Gosselin, even though she received the lowest score by the judges Monday night, wasn't even in the bottom two.
