What folks are Googlin' this morning

"dancing with the stars"- Evan and Nicole were the first to find out they were safe last night on "Dancing With the Stars".  That's no surprise.  So it was down to Chad Ochocinco and Erin Andrews.  A tough one.  Hmmmm.  First a performance from Miley Cyrus.   Ok, and the 100th celebrity to be voted off Dancing With the Stars.... Chad Ochocinco!  Your final three:

We know our partners inside and out, right?  We know when they're happy, sad, mad and when they're LYING!  What's the first indication that they're trying to get one past you?  Is it something they say -- or maybe just the way they say it?

If you could go back in time, what is the one thing you'd change about prom night?
If Jessica Halter could go back in time by 5 days, I bet she wouldn't get so stinkin' drunk at her prom.  The 18-year old was so intoxicated at her prom, that she assaulted a policeman, tried to kick a paramedic, and spewed a "bloody ball of spit" at one cop.  Isn't she lovely?  Any Jessica Halters at your prom?



CELEBRITY TWEETS


Megan Fox covers Allure mag this month...


...What you didn't know:
  • She's obsessed with a certain bad word (the one that starts with the letter between "E" and "G").  She used it 24 times during the interview.
  • Last winter, she needed psychiatric help when her fear of germs lead her to wash her hands so much her knuckles bled:  "This is a sickness.  I have an illness."
  • She'll eat the same thing every day for two months and then never eat that again.  "I did that with Life cereal."




How to become a music star in 2010:  
  1. Record yourself singing.  
  2. Post on YouTube.  
  3. Wait for screaming fans to chase you down.  

ABCNews.com describes how the new place to get "discovered" is online.  Here are three people that have become famous thanks to YouTube.

Greyson Chance
Age: 12.
YouTube claim to fame: Pulling off a powerful rendition of Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" at his Edmond, Oklahoma school's sixth grade festival. Video of his performance has scored more than 13 million views on YouTube.  Chance has inked a deal with Interscope Records. 

Lin Yu Chun
Age: 24.
YouTube claim to fame: He appeared as a contestant on Taiwan's "Avenue to Stardom" in April. But when he belted out Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" far better than the diva herself has in decades, he cemented his Internet legacy. Dubbed the next Susan Boyle, video of Chun's performance has garnered more than 10 million hits on YouTube.

Justin Bieber
Age: 16.
YouTube claim to fame: Bieber's mom, Pattie Mallette, built up a bevy of her son's performances on YouTube. A former marketing executive of So So Def productions happened to click on one and fast-tracked the kid's career -- first a demo tape, then a show for Usher, then an audition for Island Records honcho L.A. Reid, then a record deal.

FUN STUFF


GADGET OF THE DAY

Your toothbrush is gross.  The Hi-Ya Ninja Toothbrush Sanitiser zaps the germs away.  It's battery powered and uses "germicidal ultraviolet light to kill 99.9% of germs on your toothbrush."  Don't know if it works, but it would be cool just have this sitting on my sink!

Great idea to promote ice cream -- challenge people to eat a cone while riding a roller coaster.  This will make you smile


DID YOU KNOW

"Women made more money than men in 22 percent of married couples surveyed in 2007, compared with 4 percent in 1970. While men make more money overall and hold more management positions, women are making greater gains."



WHO SAID IT
"She’s always looking for a fight, and I go through stuff like that. With the wedding plans and even when I got to my hotel here in New York, I was looking for everything to be wrong and I was like, 'Oh my God, I'm doing my Sue Sylvester.' " 
- Jane Lynch on how she's similar to her Glee character


JOKE OF THE DAY

A software manager, a hardware manager and a marketing manager are driving to a meeting when a tire blows. They get out of the car and look at the problem.

The software manager says: "I can't do anything about this -- it's a hardware problem."
The hardware manager says: "Maybe if we turned the car off and on again, it would fix itself."
The marketing manager says: "Hey, 75% of it is working -- let's ship it!"

SURF THIS

If you're a hotmail user, you'll be happy to know the email service is getting a makeover.  Here are a few new features, according to Gizmodo:

  • Slideshows for attached images—incoming or outgoing.
  • Exchange support.
  • Office Web Apps that'll open attached documents right in your browser.
  • The ability to play videos right in your inbox just as you can with Gmail's YouTube integration.
  • Better filtering options.

Sick and wrong.  Have fun!


DOGGIE BAG (left overs, but still delicious!)

  • If you could have only one tool in your garage... this would be it!  go!
  • The police chief calls it "a new low."  Really?  Offering your 3-month old in exchange for beer?  Sounds like another day in Chicopee to me!  go!
  • So that's what that taste was.... a Naples pizza shop is accused of baking their pizzas in ovens that use wood from coffins dug up in the local cemetery.  go!
  • Weird!  Stare at the green blinking dot and watch everything else disappear.  It's maaaagic!  go!
  • I'm going to lock myself in my home until this all goes away.  go!
  • Good news - the white, powdery substance sent to a Marc Jacobs store in New York was not anthrax.  It was only cocaine.  Whew.  go!
