What folks are Googlin' this morning
"maurice strong" - Maurice Strong is the #1 Google search this morning. He's a lifelong environmentalist that has fought for global warming causes. He was the focus on Glenn Beck's program yesterday. Beck contends that while Strong has fought for global warming solutions, he has profited handsomely from them, as well. He's a board member of the Chicago Climate Exchange and has apparently profited in various 'green' enterprises. Tru TV exposed Strong last year. Watch it here
"how old is bon jovi" - It seems this happens every time someone over 40 years old takes the stage on American Idol - everyone wants to know their age. Well, the group Bon Jovi has been around for 28 years, and Jon Bon Jovi was 20 when he put the project together. That makes him...um....hang on... 48! He was born on March 2nd, 1962. Band member Richie Sambora has already hit the 50 mark. The band is currently on tour and not slowing down.
"who got kicked out on american idol"- Michael Lynch. The top three this season are Crystal Bowersox, Casey James and Lee DeWyze.
"matt lauer cheating scandal" - Another celebrity cheating scandal. According to reports this morning, "Today" host Matt Lauer walked out on his second wife, Annette Rogue, for a 26 year old. Lauer's ex-wife, Nancy Alspaugh, isn't surprised. She told the National Enquirer: "I heard he and Annette are breaking up. I was not shocked to hear that. But it's very sad... Women throw themselves at him. Show me 10 men who are in the position he is, and I will show you nine who are unfaithful-only they don’t get caught or their wives don’t leave them."

The most embarrassing situation where something was misspelled? Got a story?
If you blow a traffic sign that is misspelled, is it really a violation? Sparks, Nevada needs spell check. First they warned people to drive slow in a school zone spelled S-C-O-O-L, and now they want people to obey a yield sign spelled Y-E-I-L-D. Debbie Brockhoff, a baker, says in her line of work you can't misspell anything. She says people have "a real thing" about getting it right.
What is the craziest thing that has split your family in two?
Two sisters that were life long partners in gambling have not spoken since 2005 over a few bucks --- $500-thousand. 87-year old Rose had a fall out with her 84 year old sister after their brother won the Powerball. Theresa claims her sister, Rose, was supposed to split her share of the winnings with her, but she didn't. And yesterday, a judge agreed. The sisters used to gamble together all the time. In fact, the two had signed a contract years ago agreeing to split the winnings 50/50, but after a 2004 fight over a few hundred dollars, Theresa said she didn't want to be Rose's partner anymore. This essentially ended the contract, according to the judge.
