Okay, maybe I'm totally wrong about this, but Dad Spears is supposedly looking to put Britney Spears' house on the market, and if I read the tabloids correctly, Britney's house has been mucking up the works of Ed McMahon selling his house. WaMu, I mean, woo hoo, Daddy Spears!

Well, the schedule is set, the conflicts are in place (Rage Against the Machine or Wilco? Nine Inch Nails or Kanye West? Duffy or The Kills? Radiohead or going home early on Day 1 [and "going home early" is not a band, it means going home early]), and three days of fun in the sun hopefully won't welcome another heat wave as has occurred in the past. Happy Lollapalooza-ing!

Then I started investigating and found out that in the world of films my parents most likely watched, she was a dancer that would probably put most "Dancing with the Stars" professionals to shame, she was short but could look very tall, and so much love is being poured out to remember her life that maybe I should see if any of her films are on Netflix and put one of them on my queue. RIP Cyd Charisse.

Although the song has many meanings, supposedly, I'm thinking the lyrics should simply have been "When the levee breaks, it sucks.", because for those folks along the Mississippi River, a levee broke near Gulfport, IL, and pretty much, it just sucks.

The Newman camp says Paul is "doing nicely," but Paul, if you read this, and the cancer thing is real, my mom's a three year survivor, so if you want to talk to her I can set that up, and I swear, promise, and if I ever broke this promise my mom would kill me. And hell, if you don't have cancer, and still want to just stop by and say "Hello" to my mom, she'd probably like that, too.

I was almost more excited about seeing the M. Night movie about bees and people dying, but this might just have to be a weekend with "The Incredible Hulk!"

Somehow he has parlayed 21 years of entitlement at St. Sabina Catholic Church in Chicago, and wants more.

Do you think the Republicans will now try to use this against Barack Obama? Duh.

And what better prank than letting parents know that yes, their teens are sexually active. Nice letter Dr. Jack Mehoff, and it was nice to see Mr. Gimme Moorhead and Miss Ivana Humpalot are there to answer questions.

Jeremiah Wright Jr.'s comments and maybe being taken out of context, but just when you thought the Trinity Church controversy was over, now comes Catholic Priest, Father Michael Pfleger, being a guest speaker, and doing an "imitation" of Hillary Clinton crying because she is white and is entitled to be the the Presidential nominee. In what Christian universe did Father Pfleger think this would be a good speech?

Yup, Paramount Pictures gives the what-the-hell go-ahead for the revival of the "Beverly Hills Cop" franchise, with Eddie Murphy on board for round 4. This is your official warning.

So, when the rumors started to fly that Apple applied for a patent to put solar cells under the iPhone screen, people are screaming "Oh my God! This is phenomenal!" It's not really phenomenal, just a progression of technology, but because this comes from Apple it is news.

First, fine, I admit, I was watching "Live With Regis and Kelly" this morning. Then this year's American Idol winner, David Cook, came on and said he went out with previous Idol contestant Kimberly Caldwell. Rather than quickly post something like "Oh my God, David Cook is dating Kimberly Cook!" I just said to myself "Self, isn't that sweet." So much for my getting a job at TMZ!

I'm guessing Vanilla, Cinnamon, and Ginger don't really mind, but I can't help but wonder if he got rid of Victoria because she stopped giving it up?

Had California wanted to be a player, their primary could have been in June, so even trying to reference California seems silly. Good luck, Drew.
