IN SEARCH OF
What Folks are Googlin' this morning
"you cut" - The #1 search this morning is for YouCut, a program set up by House Whip, Rep. Eric Cantor, which allows conservative voters to vote online or via text for what spending cuts they want. Cantor promises an "up or down vote" from House Republicans on whatever item wins the poll.
"trey hillman"- Trey Hillman became the first manager to get fired this season when the Kansas City Royals let him go yesterday. The decision was announced just after the Royals beat the Indians, ending a seven game losing streak. Ned Yost, who joined the Royal's front office in January, will take over.
"unclaimed money" - According to a recent survey, there is an estimated $300-billion in "free unclaimed money" owed to the public. We're talking such things as money, property, shares, bonds, bank accounts, stocks or jewelry that are being held by the government until the owners make a claim. How you forget about a bank account or two is beyond me, but life gets busy, and it would be a good idea to check this website to see if something is waiting for you:
"danica mckellar"- Danica McKellar, or Winnie from The Wonder Years, has posed for a spread in Maxim magazine's Hot 100 issue.

WatchWow, it's good business to be on American Idol, and even BETTER business to WIN American Idol. TMZ discovered how the Idols make their money, and it all depends on where they fall:
- "The winner gets $175,000 when he/she starts recording ... and another $175,000 when that person "delivers" the first album. If the winner gets a second album, he/she gets anywhere between $275,000 and $550,000 depending on the success of the album. As for a third album -- anywhere between $325,000 and 650,000. As for a fourth -- anywhere between $375,000 - $750,000. As for a fifth -- $450,000 - $900,000. And a six album gets the winner between $500,000 and a cool $1 mil.
- The second place finisher gets $150,000 when he/she starts recording their first album ... and another $150,000 upon delivery. The second album gets the runner-up between $225,000 and $450,000 and so on.
- As for 3rd through 12th place -- if the label signs them -- they each get $100,000 when he/she begins recording album #1 and another $100,000 upon delivery."

Rachel Uchitel, famous for sleeping with married famous men, told Us Magazine that Bones actor David Boreanaz fell in love with her, and she has texts to prove it. She says SHE was the one to break it off because she no longer respected or trusted him (she really said that... the woman that dates married men).

WHO SAID IT
"Elin Nordegren was not the type of young woman to date Tiger Woods, at least not at first...For one thing, she had a boyfriend at home in Sweden. He was a normal, decent guy, driving a forklift in a warehouse. If things worked out with him, her life would be safe and predictable, an option that Elin actually found extremely appealing."
-From the book Tiger by Steve Helling
