What folks are Googlin' this morning

"chelsea handler sex tape" - RadarOnline.com got their hands on a supposed sex-tape made by E! host Chelsea Handler.  The tape shows Chelsea introducing herself before going into a stand-up routine.  The footage cuts to her getting very intimate with a guy.  RadarOnline describes the scenes as very, very XXX.  Her manager says the tape was made 10 years ago as an audition tape for Los Angeles comedy clubs.  RadarOnline.com confirmed that it was indeed sent out to Hollywood agents.  Handler addressed the issue on her E! show:

 "I would like to say to RadarOnline.com, thanks for ruining my surprise Christmas gift to my staff, and number two, it was made as a joke. I put it on an audition tape for a comedy club, because I'm a comedienne, and I've been showing it at birthday parties for (expletive) years!"


"bret michaels" - Bret Michaels is awake and talking slowly as doctors still try and pinpoint the source of bleeding in his head.  People magazine says the best news is there's a good chance Michaels won't remember any of it.  "Most people [who suffer this type of brain hemorrhage] don't remember most of their hospitalization – they have no recollection," Dr. Melvin Field, director of the Florida Hospital Neuroscience Institute, tells PEOPLE.   Dr. Field also said that Michaels should be in the hospital three to four weeks, and will probably leave with a pretty bad headache. 

One more note:  Michaels is looking to resume his "Roses & Thorns" tour on May 26th, "provided there are no further complications or setbacks."


"not  myself tonight video" - Christina Aguilera released a new video last night.  The 29-year old's video for "Not Myself Tonight" embraces her "inner dominatrix diva."  Watch it here

Light 'em up!

As a parent, should you push your kids towards a career with security and high pay, or support their dreams even though you know it's risky (acting, perhaps)?
The mindset of the average high school senior is changing.  More teenagers say they'll attend college to earn, not learn.  Could this be a result of the recession?  Unfortunately, more kids may not have the opportunity to continue beyond high school.  22% say their families cannot afford to pay for college.  3-years ago it was 38%.  And 80% are worried they won't find a way to pay at all.  That's up from 59% in the last survey.

What's the first rule when someone rides shotgun in your car?
A new survey found the "honeymoon" with a new car lasts longer for women.   What is the main indication the car-honeymoon is fading with women?  39% said they realized it was over when they let their spouses drive.  24% said it was when they decided to car-pool other kids, 12% when they started eating in the car, and 9% said it was when they started putting on makeup while driving.

(Want some passion this morning?)  Is this real, or are we getting a tad too sensitive?
We've got racists, sexists and elitists.  We've all been around 'em.  But what about this:  Fasttists.  You may not be a any of the others, but you sure may be a fattist.  A fattist is a person that complains about obese people.  You complain about how much room they take up on an airplane, or you roll your eyes at the grocery store when you see chips and twinkies in their cart.  Some people say fattism is as big a problem as obesity itself.  How do you know if you're a fattist?  A couple indications:
  • You won't sit by a fat person on a bus
  • You avoid all-you-can eat restaurants

Fattists make overweight people feel worse about themselves than they already do, and according to this article, it's counterproductive to solving the obesity problem.

Rielle Hunter told Oprah that she's no husband thief.  She said there's  a myth that John and Elizabeth Edwards had a "storybook" marriage and she destroyed it.  In fact, the only thing she's guilty of is telling John Edward's that he's "so hot."  "He practically jumped into my arms," she said.  She shared a lot, but she didn't share the current state of their relationship saying it's "private."  


Speaking of storybook marriages. the porn star and ultimate fighter have patched things up.  Tito Ortiz and Jenna Jameson are now saying their very public war of words was a "big misunderstanding."

WHO SAID IT

“You wake up, you feed, you burp, you play, you do laundry. I’m still in that stage where I’m just amazed with him and at life.”
-Sandra Bullock on her newly adopted son


JOKE OF THE DAY

An old lady is rocking away the last of her days on her front porch, reflecting on her long life, when, all of a sudden, a fairy godmother appears in front of her and informs her that she will be granted three wishes.

"Well, now," says the old lady: "I guess I would like to be really, really rich." As soon as she said it, there was a POOF! and her rocking chair turns to solid gold.

She smiles and says: "Gee, I guess I wouldn't mind being a young, beautiful princess." So POOF! she turns into a beautiful young woman.

"Your third wish?" asked the fairy godmother. Just then the old woman's cat wanders across the porch in front of them. "Ooh... can you change him into a handsome prince?" she asks. So POOF! 

There before her stands a young man more handsome than anyone could possibly imagine.

She stares at him, smitten. He saunters across the porch and whispers in her ear: "Bet you're sorry you had me neutered!"
