What folks are Googlin' this morning
"american idol" - Here's how the show broke down last night:
- Rascal Flatts opened with ""Unstoppable"
- Ford video of the week featuring the remaining six dressed as vampires
- Results time: Bottom three - Siobhan Magnus, Michael Lynch and Crystal Bowersox. Out this week: Siobhan Magnus.
- Oh, there's more? There's Carrie Underwood introducing "Sons of Sylvia", the band that won Fox's "The Next Great American Band". Yay...show's done.
- Next week should be good. The top five will sing Sinatra songs and Harry Connick, Jr. will mentor...
"happy town" - Did you catch the premiere of "Happy Town" on ABC last night? Did it make you happy? The Twin Peaks reincarnation was not met with open arms by critics. They call the series "contrived weirdness." The series stars Sam Neil and Lauren German and takes place in Haplin, Minnesota. It centers around alleged abductions and a murder. Here's the official website
"checkbook tax" - The term "checkbook tax" is being thrown around as part of the debate over financial reform in Washington, D.C. Democrats have promised any funds to pay for financial reform legislation will come from banks, and not tax payers. But many are saying "not so fast." Corporations have never paid taxes, fees or penalties -- we end up paying with higher costs. So goes the "checkbook tax," where any reform will be paid for through higher fees on checking and savings accounts. Read more about it here.
"restore stephen baldwin" - RestoreStephenBaldwin.org has been jammed since last night's episode of South Park. The website appeared at the end of the show, and what we discover is a real site that accepts donations for former actor Stephen Baldwin. According to the site, Baldwin was shunned by Hollywood after finding God a few years back. He's apparently broke and needs this money to pay his bills

Julia Roberts is #1 again on People magazine's "World's Most Beautiful" list. This is her 12th appearance in the issue. She's joined this year by Halle Berry (14th appearance), Jennifer Lopez (9 times), Angelina Jolie (8) and newcomer Ashley Greene (Twilight).
This will be hard for fans of "The Office" to swallow, but Michael Scott will most likely go away after next season. Steve Carell was asked during a BBC interview how long his contract runs. He said it ends after the next season and it will "probably be my last year."
Speaking of, the original "Michael Scott", Ricky Gervais, will host the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 16th, 2011. This will be an encore performance for Gervais who knocked 'em dead last year.
Sandra Bullock is out. She's leaving Jesse James and revealing to the world that she has a new baby. She's a new mom to a 3 1/2 month old boy who was born in New Orleans. Bullock and James began the adoption process four years ago, and brought Louis Bardo Bullock home in January. She kept it secret until now. She will continue the adoption process and become a single mom.
Sandra Bullock filed divorce papers in Austin. The documents only say the two "have ceased to live together as husband and wife...the marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities.
See the paperwork here
Jesse James has responded to his wife's decision to leave the marriage. Read the quote below in "Who Said It?"
Ellen DeGeneres gave Jessica Simpson a basket of dental floss on her show yesterday. Why? Because Jess doesn't believe in brushing her teeth. She told Ellen that a brush hits her teeth "maybe three times a week." Please explain, Jess: "Because my teeth are so white and I don't like them to feel to slippery but I do use Listerine and I do floss everyday. But, I don't brush them everyday. I'll use a shirt or something. I know it's gross but I always have fresh breath. It's really weird but I have great breath."

GADGET OF THE DAY
This is the toughest mobile phone in the world. It's the Land Rover S1, and it'll take anything you throw at it including a fall from a three story building, 220 degree heat, and even the crushing wheels of four Land Rover vehicles. Of course, if the phone is in your hand during any of those scenarios, it won't matter if it still works or not. More details here

The #1 behavior that keep women from getting ahead:
"Women do not take up enough physical space. This is not a matter of size, but how you hold yourself when standing. If you expect to be perceived as a powerful person, stand with your feet apart, and perhaps your hands on your hips. "
WHO SAID IT?
"Sandy is the love of my life, but considering the pain and devastation I have caused her, it would be selfish to not let her go. Right now it is time for me to beat this addiction that has taken two of the things I love the most in life."
-Jesse James reaction to his wife, Sandra Bullock's, decision to file for divorce and adopt son Louis as her own.
JOKE OF THE DAY
Always remember and never forget:
Money can't buy happiness but it keeps the kids in touch!
SURF THIS
Interesting new service that acts as your watch dog when you feel uneasy about something. With Plerts, you set up a message to be sent to your "social safety net" if you don't check in at a specific time. Let's say you're heading out to buy a new lamp from someone on CraigsList, but are afraid you'll be thrown into a van and shipped to China (could happen, right?), set up Plerts to send a email or text to your friends and family at a specific time. If they haven't heard from you, they know you're in trouble - most likely in a shipping container on your way to China. There are also GPS tracking features, as well. Check it out.
GAMEBREAK!
Hit the square...you'll get it. Fun. I got a high score of 80 before I went crazy. Those balls multiply faster than the Duggar family.
