What folks are Googlin' this morning"dancing with the stars" - I found a nice, catty, recap blog on Dancing with the Stars here. Here are some take-away-lines for your show:
- Tonight, every dance must "tell a story." Other than, you know, I can't dance and I need a career reboot.
- Jake Pavelka: (21, quickstep) Walk like an Egyptian? Walk like a (jerk), maybe. Jake's pre-dance video paints him as an enormous diva who balks at being disrespected and "needs a minute" when he gets stressed.
-Pamela Anderson: (21, paso doble) CHARO IS MENTORING PAM ANDERSON. This is some sort of one-time-only universal alignment.
Did you hear me? CHARO IS MENTORING PAM ANDERSON. I'm going to say it right now: CHARO FOR DWTS 11!
-Erin Andrews: (23, waltz) Wait - she's dancing blindfolded? Or not? OK, she is. It's not bad, but she reminds me of all those actresses that played a bitchy businesswoman in '80s movies.
-Kate Gosselin: (15, paso doble) She's dancing to Lady Gaga's Paparazzi because it reflects her life. YOU ARE SO CLEVER, KATE. SO. CLEVER. Nevermind that she invited the initial cameras INTO HER HOUSE.
-Nicole Scherzinger: (23, quickstep) Of course, she's fantastic. It's fluid and musical and fun and seems straight out of a classic musical.
"ncaa championship game" - Duke wins. Duke beat Butler last night to claim its fourth national championship in men's basketball. It was a great tournament. Best I ever watched. Check out this photo gallery which tells the story of the big game last night.
"one shining moment" - A favorite every year following the championship game is the CBS recap of the entire tournament set to music. Last night, Jennifer Hudson was the voice of "One Shining Moment." Just try not to feel chills while watching this.
"president's first pitch" - President Obama took to the mound yesterday to throw out the first pitch. Yes, there were a few boos. Every president gets booed. But it didn't help when, while wearing his Washington Nationals red jacket, he whipped out a Chicago White Sox cap and put it on his head. Hmmmm...how to describe his pitch: " The ball floated, slowly and with great loft, in the general direction of home plate, but -- metaphor alert! -- wild and far to the left," reports the Washington Post.

Light 'em up!For the ladies: Guys think they're impressing you by doing (what), but really, they're not...
Great list here from Guyism.com of the 8 STUPID THINGS MEN DO TO IMPRESS WOMEN (I changed the title name, btw):
1. Pretending to like a band
2. Lying about past accomplishments
3. Trying to throw an awesome party to prove your social importance
4. Recreating a scene from a romantic comedy
5. Constantly dressing up
6. Playing a song written just for her on the acoustic guitar
7 Getting into fights to prove manliness
8 Going to an art gallery/theater production/lecture and pretending to understand everything
Funny! But you're not a guy if you've violated at least 2 of those rules. Get the list and explanations to each here.
What is it that you and your boss do together, behind the backs of your coworkers (and it has nothing to do with an affair).
Very interesting article here from a guy confessing that he has a "secret weed affair" with his boss. Yep, nobody else in the office knows that this blogger and his boss hang out, smoke, play video games, and eat trashy food. Do you and the big guy/woman share a secret something?

Post this: Happy birthday Barney the Dinosaur! What is the absolute most annoying kid's show on TV today?CELEBRITY TWEETS
No divorce. Tori Spelling appeared on the Today Show to promote the 5th season of her reality show "Tori and Dean," and put to bed rumors of a split. "We're not headed for divorce," Spelling, 36...We're committed to each other, we're committed to this family. But you know, we work on things just like everyone else."
Looks like Gerard Butler may have himself a girlfriend - and it's not Jennifer Aniston. Her name is Laurie Cholewa, Paris TV personality. The two were seen hand-in-hand strolling through the French capital last week. (pic)
Reese Witherspoon and her new boyfriend, Jim Toth, still seem to be enjoying each other's company. The two went to Easter service with her two children and "looked festive," according to a spy. "They seemed really happy and ease out in the open." (pic)
Hey "Lost" junkies. Your show is almost over, and Jimmy Kimmel will be giving the cast a big farewell. He'll host "Aloha to Lost," featuring live interviews and the shows stars on May 23rd at 11:35 p.m. Of course, Kimmel was a main character on the show...you didn't know that? Watch:
A New Jersey man claims his marriage was torn apart by Bruce Springsteen. Arthur Kelly, 46, says his wife of 18-years met The Boss at a fitness center in 2006, and has had an "emotional affair" with him ever since. He claims Springsteen flirted with her, treated her to lunches, gave her concert tickets and sent her unsigned Valentines Day cards. Ann Kelly denies Springsteen had anything to do with it. Bruce also claims there was no emotional or sexual relationship. Sidenote: Apparently Ann Kelly and Bruce's wife Patti Scialfa are dead ringers.
Wayne Newton is nearly broke. He's facing foreclosure on his Nevada ranch, and he's been skipping out on payments to keep up his private jet. This is probably the main reason why he's doing a reality show called "Wayne's World." The show, on the WeTV network, will focus on the women that run Wayne's celebrity life, from his attorney wife Kathleen, her sister and Wayne's publicist Trish, to the star's mother-in-law who handles his merchandising. (Hmmm... his wife and her entire family run his operation? And he wonders why he's broke?)

If you think teens driving on the road is dangerous, wait till they get an airplane! Look!.
An Australian teen-ager crash-landed this single engine plane in the middle of a busy highway. The engine apparently stalled after the 18-year old "was practicing stunts." Sidenote: The kid is a trainee with the Australian Airforce. Looks like more training needed!
Two nice things about this photo-
1. He walked away
2. He got out and helped direct traffic
DID YOU KNOW
Apple sold 300,000 of those iPads on the VERY FIRST DAY. From Gizmodo:
"300,000 iPads were sold, leading to 1,000,000 app downloads, and 250,000 ebook downloads from the iBook Store. Steve Jobs puts it another way: 'iPad users, on average, downloaded more than three apps and close to one book within hours of unpacking their new iPad.'"
WHO SAID IT?
"I don't quit on things. It's not an option for me."
-Erin Andrews vowing to continue Dancing with the Stars even after receiving death threats.
