It's Mickey Mouse Day as we celebrate "Steamboat Willie," Mickey's first cartoon which opened in NYC on this day in 1928. Today we also celebrate Push-Button Phone Day which remembers the first telephone push buttons on this day in 1963. It was also on this day in 1963 that it became a lot easier to win radio contests.

Have you, or anyone in your family, ever destroyed the TV over something you just watched?

Usually it's sports, right? Maybe an interception that was taken back for a touchdown. That can sometimes be enough to get up and kick the TV in. But what about... "Dancing With the Stars"?

A man in Wisconsin, upset after see Bristol Palin on "Dancing With the Stars", whipped out his shotgun and blasted a hole through the television. The result was a 15-hour standoff with police until he surrendered early Tuesday.

Wow... he better be tied up if she wins. story

5 Worst Frozen Dinners

Interesting article here from Self Magazine about those quickie frozen meals we all grab when time is tight. There are five that should be avoided at all cost, unless you desire a triple bypass.

Bertolli Chicken Alfredo & Fettuccine

630 calories

32 grams of fat

17 grams of artery-clogging saturated fat

1200 mg of sodium (Half of the fat and sodium recommended for the entire day)

Healthy Choice Sweet & Sour Chicken:

440 calories

2 grams of saturated fat

480 mg of sodium

But get this -- the sugar content: 28 grams. May as well down some ice cream for dinner!

Marie Callender's Chicken Pot Pie:

550 calories

34.1 grams of fat

9.6 grams of saturated fat

826 mg of sodium

And that's half the pie! Most of eat the entire pie --- my chest hurts!

Hungry-Man ANYTHING:

The Hungry Man XXL Carved Turkey Dinner

1450 calories

58 grams of fat

26 grams of saturated fat

5410 mg of sodium.

He's famous. He's a millionaire sports star. He was married to the hottest woman in Hollywood. He still had to cheat. He's Tony Parker. Congrats, dummy.

Eva Longoria filed for divorce yesterday after finding out her husband, Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs, not only cheated on her, but cheated with a teammate's wife! Extra confirmed reports that Longoria found hundreds of text messages from another woman on his phone, but wouldn't reveal the name of the woman or her husband.

Longoria is turning to her good friend Mario Lopez for support. He says "she is devastated" and "wants us all to know that...but she's strong." Extra reports that Parker also cheated on her earlier in the marriage with a woman he stayed friends with through Facebook.

Eva released this statement yesterday afternoon: "It is with great sadness that after 7 years together, Tony and I have decided to divorce... We love each other deeply and pray for each other’s happiness."

On a lighter note, Pink told Ellen Degeneres that yes, she's pregnant. This will be the child #1 for the singer and her husband Carey Hart. "My mom has always wished me a daughter just like me...I'm terrified one of us will go to jail."

Rachel Zoe from the "Rachel Zoe Project" confirmed via Twitter that she's pregnant. This will be the first child for Zoe and her husband of 12 years, Rodger Berman.

Bill Nye the Science guy gave students a lesson on gravity Tuesday when he collapsed during a lecture. 10 seconds later he "popped back up with much gusto and asked everybody how long he was out," according to an audience member.

Joke of the Day

A dentist, after completing work on a patient, came to him and asked; “could you help me?

Could you give out a few of your loudest, most painful screams?”

The surprised patient said; “why doctor, it wasn’t all that bad this time!”

The dentist said; “I know, but there are so many people in the waiting room right now, and I don’t want to miss the four o’clock train.”

Damn You, Auto Correct features what happens when you let your phone's auto-correct take over without checking. What you meant to type, and what you actually send can sometimes be two very different and humiliating things. Check out an example.

There's some dicey language... just so ya know. Funny stuff, though.
