04.15.10:  TODAY IS...

  • TAX DAY!  Pay up!
  • National Take a Wild Guess Day
  • National High Five Day
  • Titanic Day - I'm the king of the world!  Then it sank at 2:27 a.m. on this day in 1912.  Over 15-hundred of the 2,224 passengers aboard drowned.  

Drop to spice up Titanic Day:

What folks are Googlin' this morning

"american idol results" - Because the judge's used their precious "save" last week, two contestants got the boot this week, and they are:  Andrew Garcia and Katie Stevens.  Full recap here.  


"angelina tracy" - Is there yet ANOTHER celebrity affair happening this morning? Classy Charlie Sheen is rumored to have been "dating" a paid escort/lingerie model named Angelina Tracy.  And get this, he allegedly cheated on his wife with Ms. Angelina while in sex addiction rehab.   BTW:  According to this blog, Tracy charges up to $3,000 per hour.  Did anyone hear that at the IRS as we celebrate tax day?  Look for a fat check from Angelina Tracy... but most likely not.  


"droid incredible" - There's a new phone in this town...and it's called the Droid Incredible.  Beyond the super silly name, the specs are amazing.  8-megapixel camera, super fast CPU, tons of storage, touchscreen and Android 2.1.   Verizon will carry it and pre-orders begin April 29th.  No word on price.  


Other hot searches this morning include anything about American Idol, Larry King (see Celebrity Tweets below), and that Campus Gossip website I told you about yesterday.

Light 'em up!

Will the world go mad when there is a "Viagra for women"?  
Pfizer has been working on a drug to boost sexual arousal in women, and it looks like they're getting closer.  An experiment in rabbits proves the drug provides more blood flow to the arousal region.  But then again, they're rabbits, aren't they supposed to "breed like rabbits"?  Anyway, there's no release date set, but stay tuned.  Think about it, though, women are the gate keepers in that area. They have an off switch.  Men are stuck in the "on" position.  So what's your prediction after the drug is released... will women say 'nice to have something but 'no thanks,' or will women become like...uh oh... men?  


It's tax day!   Yyyyyyyaaay!  Many are getting money returned today, many are writing a big fat check.  For those that are getting money returned, where's it going?
A survey found preparing our taxes ranks just a little above attending a funeral in things we'd like to do.  

Some of the most common errors:
  • Wrong or incorrect Social Security Numbers
  • Entering withholding and estimated tax payments on the wrong lines
  • Adding/subtracting mistakes
  • Not signing return

Post this:  What is at the top of your "wish list" right now?



CELEBRITY TWEETS

Usually when a celebrity covers Shape magazine, they show off their body.  Ellen DeGeneres...not so much, although she did reveal her bare feet.  Her secret to staying in shape:  Yoga, no sweets and no meat.   Read it here


Well that didn't last long - Mel Gibson and his Russian pop star girlfriend split up.  Oksana Grigorieva gave birth to the couple's daughter 5-months ago.  More here


Look for Octomom all over your TV in the next week.  Nadya Sulleman makes an appearance on "Idol Gives Back," American Idol's charity show on April 21st.  But the day before she'll appear on Oprah, an episode that has already been recorded.  Her lawyer says the interview didn't beat around the bush...look for some hardballs.  Source


Larry King filed for divorce from his wife Shawn Southwick.  This will make divorce #8 for a guy that married seven women (one married him twice... fool me once).  King, 76, and Shawn, 50, have two sons.    King cites "irreconcilable differences," but the National Enquirer reported that both have been cheating on each other for a while.  That's never good.  Source


Bit ratings for Glee's return the other night.  13.6 million watched.  Dancing with the Stars snagged 13.4 million.


Kate Gosselin is finally admitting what we all witnessed over the years -- she doesn't think before she speaks.  She told Meredith Vieira on the Today show that "in the heat of the moment, I have a sharp tongue."   You think?  This is the woman that once told her husband, Jon, to "stop breathing so loud."  "Much of what I said to Jon was unwarranted.  Watch




A must see on Broadway!  Next year look for The Book of Mormon to premiere on Broadway, a musical comedy from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone with music from Avenue Q composer Robert Lopez.  


Pop quiz:  What celebrity revealed to Playboy that he lost his virginity at age 12?
Answer:  Matthew Fox.  The "Lost" star says his first partner was two years older, and "it wasn't her first time."  Wow... not much to do in Dubois, Wyoming I take it?


ARRESTED:  One of the women linked to Tiger Woods was arrested yesterday.  Jaimee Grubbs was arrested in West Hollywood, CA, for driving on a suspended license.  TMZ reports there are three outstanding warrants against her.   Bail came to a whopping $30-grand.  


Since returning to Golf, is Tiger Woods really serious about putting his life back together?  Elin doesn't think so, and according to RadarOnline.com, she met with a divorce attorney for several hours at the home she's renting in Orlando.

FUN STUFF

GADGET OF THE DAY

Where do most people destroy their phones?  Yes, in the toilet.  It's one of those two-minutes of life you wish you could get back, but you can't.  It's sitting on the bottom of the toilet.  What to do now?  Before you tell the world what you did... throw it in this bag.  The Wet Cellular Phone Emergency Kit is supposed to "dry all," like soaked cell phones.  They say after 48 hours your phone is ready to go again.     Stick one in the boat, one in your car, and one next to the toilet paper holder.   $10.  Worth it?  More here

WHO SAID IT

-Ellen DeGeneres to Shape magazine on her new vegetarian lifestyle.

JOKE OF THE DAY

(Is this your kid?)
Teacher:  "I told you to stand at the end of the line!"
Little Johnny:  "I tried, but there was someone already there!"

SURF THIS!

Yes, you should empty out your bank account and buy that red convertible.  Well, no, but somebody could probably talk you into it.  In fact, that's the whole idea behing GoodReasons.to. They give you reasons TO do things.  For example: "2 good reasons to get a new haircut," "4 good reasons to buy a hybrid car," "5 good reasons to drop microsoft internet explorer 6."  This is a new site, so the list catalog is not deep.  Check it out.  

GAME BREAK

Ok then...after playing a couple rounds I can see how this gets tricky.  Find three bubbles of the same color and pop 'em.   Easy, huh?  Right!  Go try it!   Update:  I LOVE THIS GAME!  Update:  Kill me...I'm still playing it.
