"keli mcgregor" - Colorado Rockies president Keli McGregor was found dead in a hotel room in Salt Lake City yesterday morning. He was 48. Detectives believe he died of natural causes, but the official cause of death won't be released for another couple days. Mcgregor is survived by his wife and four children. More details here.
"boho braids" - Yes, the 2nd most searched item on today's list are for Boho braids. They are the latest fashion craze taking over the Internet. They are "perfect for summer, weddings and will go well with a nice flower printed dress." Look to Nicole Richie as the one who started the trend. Video of how to do Boho braids
"dancing with the stars" - The bottom two celebrities this week were Kate Gossselin and Pam Anderson. Kate was asked if she was surprised to be in the bottom two, and her answer - "It is what it is." And the results? I'll tell you right after this full dancing recap, then commercials, then Adam Corrolla complaining about something, and then more commercials. We're back. And the couple gone this week: Kate and Tony. They get a standing ovation and Kate gives a long goodbye speech (at least long for that show). So does the show become less interesting now that Kate is gone?

How many things in your life are being held together by duct tape right now?
Duct tape is really the most versatile tool in the tool box. It's a great temporary fix to almost everything -- leaks, cracks, airplanes, fishin' poles -- wait --- AIRPLANES? Yep. A passenger aboard an American Airlines Flight to Dallas yesterday noticed something strange on the outside of the engine...duct tape. At first he couldn't believe they'd fly a plane with duct tape, but then realized they had been flying for a while, and if it didn't come off yet, they should be okay. The tape, according to this article, is actually a very tough aviation version of duct tape that can survive high speeds. The FAA is okay with the tape to patch scrapes, punctures or surface damage. If you spotted duct tape on the wing of YOUR plane, would you sit back with a magazine, or high-tail it toward the exit? Source

Dude...you're famous! Gimmie your wallet! Kal Penn, star of those Harold and Kumar flicks, was robbed at gunpoint in Washington, D.C., at 1:30 am Tuesday, according toThe Washington Post. Police call it a "basic street robbery," meaning they usually don't name or discuss victims. Penn has been working for the White House over the last year, but will leave to film another "Harold and Kumar" later this year.

What do you consider a "necessary evil" when it comes to your job?
The head of the Australian Industry Group told a conference that in order for women to get ahead at the office, they need to hang out with male co-workers at a bar. Heather Ridout says "it's not going to the pub on Friday night and talking about football...but it is going to the pub and having a talk and getting on with your workmates and being generally interested in what every one does." She says it makes home life more difficult, but it's a necessary evil. Source
Men don't think women care about (this), but they really do...
Most men think a good personality will make up for their receding hairline and growing gut... but not so fast. Get this new survey: 83% of women prefer the looks of celebrities over those of their boyfriends, and one in ten said she's plain old embarrassed by the way her guy looks. 39% try to style their boyfriend after a celebrity, and (sit down for this, guys) 48% said they care more about their boyfriend's appearance than their own.

Michael Douglas' only son, Cameron, is heading to prison for 5 years for his role in a NYC meth ring.

Michael blamed Cameron's drug problems on a privileged but difficult childhood. Picture of the two

GADGET OF THE DAY
Yes, this has to happen. You will look HOT in this. The TV Hat provides a private space to watch your iPod, iPhone or any other portable media player with a small screen. Perfect for camping. Of course, that pack of hungry wolves will have no problem surrounding you while you're lost in your TV hat. Also, not recommended for driving, although I can't figure out why.

Women are like guys? Really? Do you believe this study?
An "online survey of almost 10,000 Australian men and women, aged between 25 and 45, asked about what they thought of sex....The study found that almost 33 percent of women want sex every day, compared with 40 percent of men, though in reality 25 percent of women have sex only once a week while one in five get lucky just once a month."

JOKE OF THE DAY
A policeman pulls a driver over for swerving in and out of lanes on the highway. He tells the guy to blow into a breathalyzer.
"I can't do that, officer, I'm an asthmatic. I could get an asthma attack if I blow into that tube."
"OK, we'll just get a urine sample down at the station."
"Can't do that either, officer. I'm a diabetic. I could get low blood sugar if I pee in a cup."
"Alright, we could get a blood sample."
"Can't do that either, officer. I'm a hemophiliac. If I give blood, I could die."
"Fine then, just walk this white line."
"Can't do that either, officer."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm drunk."
