What folks are Googlin' today"michelle 'bombshell' mcgee - This story is a huge search this morning. I've got the link to the full story in "Celebrity Tweets," but a magazine is claiming Sandra Bullock's hubby, Jesse James, cheated on his wife with "Bombshell" McGee, a tattoo model. Believe it? My first instinct is think no... but that was my first instinct with Tiger Woods, too, so anything is possible.
"old navy" - When is the last time you've were in an Old Navy? The chain has been losing customers since straying away from its "value credo" around 2007. So now they're giving
their stores a facelift complete with a giant racetrack around the store, play area for kids, and a "fundamentals" wall with new, low-priced products. Will ya go back?
"obama's bracket" - After correctly picking Carolina to win the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament last year, everyone's a little curious as to who President Obama will pick to win this year. He sees a championship game between Kansas and Kentucky with Kansas coming out on top. Not exactly going out on a limb this year. Get the president's full bracket here
Agree or disagree with Obama, you have to admit the man knows his basketball. Watch:

Finish this line - "I once had a teacher so crazy, that he/she (what?)..."
Looks like a teacher working since 1973 in Rogersville, Tennessee is out of a job. The school board voted 5-1 in favor of firing Lucia Carico for going ballistic on a student just before Christmas vacation last year. The student apparently refused to stop... ahem... farting in class. He would pass gas and then sing a little song as a bonus. It drove Ms Carico so mad that she pitched a book across the room and then stabbed the boy in the arm seven times with her pen. When confronted by school officials, she lied about her involvement... until she learned there was a video of the entire incident. Oops. She has until April to appeal the ruling.

CELEBRITY TWEETS
InTouch Weekly has a nasty story about Sandra Bullock's hubby, Jesse James, claiming he cheated on his wife for nearly a year. Because of the story, Bullock has pulled out of the British premiere of "The Blind" set for Tuesday. The magazine claims a tattoo model named Michelle "Bombshell" McGee saw James for 11-months, including 5-intense weeks while Bullock was filming "The Blind Side" last year. McGee tells the magazine that she thought James and Bullock were separated. “I would never have hooked up with him if I thought he was a married man,” she tells InTouch. Meanwhile, People.com is reporting this morning that Bullock moved out of the house she shares with James on Monday. Read the InTouch story here.

JOKE OF THE DAY
Through the pitch-black night, the captain sees a light dead ahead on a collision course with his ship. He sends a signal: “Change your course 10 degree east.”
The light signals back: “Change yours, 10 degrees west.”
Angry, the captain sends: “I’m a navy captain! Change your course, sir!”
“I’m a seaman, second class,” comes the reply. “Change your course, sir.”
Now the captain is furious. “I’m a battleship! I’m not changing course!”
There is one last reply. “I’m a lighthouse. Your call.”
SURF THIS!

GAME BREAK!
