The Cheerleader Might get Naked!

She hasn’t showed her boobies yet, and she’s not being a total prude about it like a Jessica Alba, but Hayden Panettiere hasn’t ruled out nudity on the big screen totally, only it might take until she’s 30. Looks like we have to start an 11 year countdown, or at least until a few years after “Heroes” is over.

Billy Mays: R.I.P.

You know him, you love him, and maybe he’s not the King of Pop, but the King of OxiClean, Billy Mays, is dead. It still isn’t sure what caused his death, maybe it was the airplane landing, maybe it was just he died, but the infomercial world will never be the same.

Never Underestimate Transforming Robots

Lots of people saw Megan Fox lean over under the hood of a car in the first “Transformers,” now lots of people got to saw her straddling a motorcycle in “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.” They also got to see that Shia dude, and robots in disguise.

And Michael Jackson Might Make Three

Ed McMahon dies, then earlier today Farrah Fawcett dies, and now reports are coming in that Michael Jackson was rushed to the hospital - something about maybe cardiac arrest (that’s a heart attackish thing to most people). The rule of three’s is in effect - let’s just hope Michael doesn’t steal Farrah’s limelight.

Howard Stern: The King of Most Media

So Apple released the 3.0 version of the iPhone software, the news reports say “the long-awaited app so you can get Sirius on your iPhone is released,” but if you want Howard Stern, well, don’t waste your icon space because the app doesn’t stream The King of All Media, or maybe he should now be “The King of Most Media.”

19 to Life, You Got It

Looks like Phil Spector won’t be able to be making any more wall of sounds for a while, unless the appeal goes well, because he’s been sentenced to 19 years to life in the pokey for murdering Lana Clarkson. Wonder if he’ll change his hairdo for the boys in the big house?

How Soon Until We Hear About People Snorting Red Bull?

It seems Red Bull now has something in common with Coca Cola, namely that it has been found to have traces of cocaine. Okay, Coke got rid of the stuff years ago, and some dude named Fritz is saying it’s harmless and that you can find other crap in other drinks and food, but for folks in Germany they’re going to have a hard time getting their Red Bull fix now that it has been banned.

Ben Stiller Kicks Terminator’s Ass

A lot of people are touting how “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian” beat “Terminator: Salvation” at the box office over the Memorial Day weekend, but I’m wondering why it is such a surprise? I mean, I don’t care who’s making it, a “Terminator” movie without Ahnold isn’t really a “Terminator’ movie, and never underestimate the power of kids wanting to see museum artifacts come to life. Next up: “Night at the Museum: I’m Ben Stiller Dammit!” Okay, not really, but there will probably be a trifecta in the museum.

A “rock-pop-electronic-dance thing?”

So Adam Lambert is kind of torn about being the front-man of Queen if the position were offered to him because he is interested in doing his own thing. Understandable, but let’s see: Be a part of a world tour, instantly putting you in front of millions of fans, or hope you can put out a “rock-pop-electronic-dance thing” album that might sell a few copies. If I’m Brian May I forget about offering him the gig because he’s already being difficult.

Why Does Exodus Tyson Dying Make Me Sad?

I don’t know why I felt sad when I heard about Mike Tyson’s daughter, Exodus, and her getting injured by a hanging cord, but the story doesn’t have a happy ending either as it has been announced that she died. I guess it’s just sad when you hear of a 4-year old who dies too young from an accident that can happen in any household.

And Your New American Idol is…

Kris Allen. Yup, in an upset to everyone but me (go ahead, ask my girlfriend, I told her Kris would win), Kris Allen beat Adam Lambert to take the title of “American Idol” this year. It probably bodes better for Adam to not win, it can keep him a little more low-key as any other stories about him might come out, and he seems aggressive enough to push his own agenda while the soft-spoken Kris will probably need the entire Idol publicity machine to reach gold, or platinum as it were.

Best Wishes Amy Mickelson

Lots of women are diagnosed with breast cancer every day, so why does it take a famous person’s wife getting the disease to bring greater focus? In any case, best wishes to Amy Mickelson, wife of Phil Mickelson (he’s the pro golfer dude). Good job to Phil for taking the time off to support his wife.

Patrick Swayze is Dead. Not.

A radio station Twittered that Patrick Swayze is dead, and the world believed it. Low and behold he isn’t dead, so says a spokeswoman. The funniest part of the story, though, is that messages left for Twitter for a comment were not returned. What comment would Twitter actually have to say about it?

My Name is Earl gets the boot.

Looks like people were tired of the big mustache and big-busted blond because the folks at NBC said they don’t want “My Name is Earl” back. Looks like Crabman can put his hair back to normal. Maybe Jay Leno will have a new sitcom in its place because it’s slowly looking like NBC is putting all of it’s eggs in the Leno basket. Hope they don’t go rotten.

Chicago: We Got Expensive Gas

Just a helpful travel tip that if you plan to drive near Chicago anytime soon, you might want to have a full tank of gas as you make your way through The Windy City because we’ve got the most expensive gas. If only we could harness the awesome power of the burrito!

NBC renews Chuck! Praise the Lord!

I’m a big fan of the TV show “Chuck,” and of the hot blond, Yvonne Strahovski, (though I’d be a happier fan if she got naked), so I was worried it wouldn’t get renewed for the Fall. Thank the heavens above, and a “Save Chuck” campaign, because it’s coming back for at least a lucky 13 episodes. Yay!

The World Loves Tom Hanks!

Neither rain, nor snow, nor the Catholic Church could keep the world from seeing “Angels & Demons,” so Tom Hanks gets another #1 movie, especially worldwide. “Star Trek” did pretty awesome, too, especially for its 2nd weekend out, but can an Ahnold-less “Terminator: Slavation” dethrone both of them next week? Only a week will tell.

Miss California, You’re Still Hired!

Donald Trump has spoken and Miss California will stay Miss California, and will not give up her crown to Almost Was Miss California. Yup, Carrie Prejean, whom none of us would give a damn about if she didn’t say something about marriage to Perez Hilton, keeps her crown, and Donal Trump also had no problem with her semi-nude photos. Well, duh!?!

Baba Booey, a.k.a. Gary Dell’Abate Throws Like a Girl

Baba Booey, a.k.a. Gary Dell’Abate got the chance of a lifetime, the dream of baseball fans everywhere, to throw out the first pitch at a baseball game. Gary’s dream came true before a New York Mets game, and much to the delight of Howard Stern fans everywhere, Baba Booey threw like a girl. YouTube has pulled the video - here’s a link to the MLB version.

Susan, Simon, and Oprah - A Threesome?

It’s a threesome I’m wondering if anyone wants to see, but Susan Boyle and Simon Cowell will both be on Oprah. The show is slated to air on May 11th and is titled “The World’s Got Talent.” Will Simon stay on “American Idol?”; Will we care what Susan Boyle’s house looks like?; Will Oprah give away more KFC people can’t get? Some of those questions might be answered.

Will Brett Favre Un-Retire Again?

Bear fans kept sort of hoping, in a weird Chicago way, that somehow Brett Favre would end up in a Bear’s jersey, although not now that they have Jay Cutler they don’t care. Now the arrows are pointing that Mr. Favre might end up a Minnesota Viking - That is if he un-retires again, which of course would never happen, right?
