Jenny from the block is going to take undiscovered talent from their own hometown blocks and turn them into blockbuster successes. Multiple sources confirmed last night that a deal is signed, sealed, and delivered for Jennifer Lopez to permanently preside as a judge on “American Idol.”
This is all according to Entertainment Tonight. Mary Hart wouldn’t lie to us would she?

Have a great long weekend and I’ll see ya Monday morning,

Lindsay Lohan has not been in jail for long, but “Free Lindsay” t-shirts and tank tops are already popping up on the customizable t-shirt websites. StyleList reports that “Free Lindsay” apparel can be found on Customized Girl and Cafe Press. Zazzle also has “Free Lindsay” items.

There is no way to tell how well the items are selling. There may not be much demand for the shirts, because a lot of people thought Lindsay deserved the sentence. It also won’t be too much longer before Lindsay is let out of jail anyway.

Ah, to be immortalized .. if only ..

In St. Peter, Minnesota, Scott Bur is a science professor at Gustavus Adolphus College. He had left for a week’s vacation and returned to a shiny office. Very shiny. Much shinier than when he left. It seems the good professor’s students had covered his office entirely in aluminum foil. Computer screen, chairs, the ceiling, the floor– all covered in foil. Books and pens were individually wrapped, as was the phone, a ball cap, and the coffee maker. But Dr. Bur has a very good sense of humor about the whole thing and says it’s a sort of tradition among his research group. He goes on vacation and when he comes back there’s … something. The last time he went on vacation he came back to find his office was decorated like a fairy princess. Pink fabric and bows covered everything. Senior Kristen Jahr said the aluminum foil prank required 10, 200-foot rolls of foil to complete.
I’m thinkin’ these students have a lot of time on their hands…

It’s a bird, it’s a plane .. it’s a donkey?!
Beachgoers in Moscow were in awe as they watched a donkey attached to a parachute float through the air. Witnesses said the donkey’s screams were terrifying and scared many of the children. The donkey ended up in the air as a result of an advertisement campaign gone awry. D’ya think? The advertisment was supposed to attract people to a private beach owned by local entrepreneurs.
Oh no! Is that big, green thing following the donkey Shrek? Run for your lives! ; )

If you want to control your appetite, chew some gum. This simple little trick can actually make you less hungry so you’ll eat less and lose weight. According to research from Glasgow Caledonian University in Glasgow, Scotland, chewing gum before an afternoon snack helps reduce hunger, diminish cravings and promotes a feeling of fullness, especially for those who are trying to limit their overall calorie intake.
I wonder if you chew a big wad of bubble gum, then blow a bunch of bubbles .. would you burn more calories? Do ya think?

See ya in the morning .. I’m going to buy some Bazooka.

If you drive a black car, you might want to buy a crash helmet because your chances of getting into a wreck can be nearly 50 percent higher than in cars of other colors. A 20 year study has discovered that cars painted in this order: black, gray, silver, red and blue were the most likely to end up in crashes because their colors tend to blend in with the road, scenery and other traffic.
I wonder how many drivers they had to go through over the 20 years?

A new survey by Harvard’s Medical School reveals that 17% of doctors know of an impaired or incompetent physician in their workplace. 33% of those doctors have yet to report the impaired doctor to authorities.
Maybe it’s not such a bad thing to not have a doctor in Northern Ontario ..

Do you like to snack when you go to the movies? That’s not a good idea according to a report by the Center for Science in the Public Interest in Washington, DC. A medium popcorn at a leading theater chain has the saturated fat equivalent of about six Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pepperoni Pizzas and 1,200 calories .. and that’s before the butter topping!
I’m bringin’ a bag of carrots with me next time I catch a flick!
