As you enjoy the 4th of July weekend, I recommend studying up on America and how it came to be. Why? Because I’m a history major and huge nerd.  Last year I watched the HBO miniseries “John Adams” and it was excellent.  I’m pretty sure my wife is still mad at me for spending 7 hours watching that, but I’m pretty sure Thomas Jefferson went through the same thing….except I didn’t get one of my slaves pregnant. 

Here’s video of Kato blowing up a watermelon with fireworks.  Because America is awesome.

(Now I can understand why foreigners think we’re idiots.)

26 seconds of funny to start your 3 day weekend…

It’s been a guessing game as to who will get control of Michael Jackson’s kids, money, and estate.  MJ in all his wisdom had his will set in 2002 and wisely left out his money/power grubbing father Joe.  His kids get most of the money in a trust, some goes to charity, and Katherine (his mother) gets custody of the kids.  You may notice a 2nd name under the custody part that’s kind of weird…

According to his former “wife” Lisa Marie Presley, Michael Jackson was scared he would “end up like Elvis”, dying at a young age.  He was only 50 and his death is being investigated for various pill and drug overdoses.

The King of Pop’s body will be driven to Neverland Ranch at 10 am Thursday morning in a 30-car motorcade to prepare the body for public viewing.

Word is the viewing will happen on Friday, with the private funeral on Sunday.

My sweet dove Mariah Carey dressed up like Eminem for her new video “Obsessed”. Eminem has been dissing Mariah and her very talented husband Nick Cannon, so Mariah is returning the favor. 

Not only does she look like Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda…

but I don’t think Eminem will be too happy with her impression.  That’s ok MC! Your stalker/long lost love to the rescue! I’m gonna call Eminem and set this whole thing straight.

Eminem just said he’ll gut me with a steak knife and watch me bleed to death.

I think we’re done here.

It seems everytime there’s a car chase, one of two things is happening: they’re in Los Angeles or the person driving is a nutjob.  1 for 2 ain’t bad…the best one I’ve seen so far.

Btw, I love Shepard Smith.  He’s classy and hilarious, two things my parents still hope I will become.

Product pitchman and all around great guy Billy Mays died this weekend at the age of 50.  Rumors that he died from a head trauma after luggage fell on his head were put to rest after the autopsy confirmed it was heart disease.  I saw his tweets on Saturday night…pretty creepy.

Just had a close call landing in Tampa. The tires blew out upon landing. Stuck in the plane on the runway. You can always count on US Air.3:01 PM Jun 27th from txt

Billy Mays

He leaves behind a wife and son. 

New B artist Tina Parol stopped by the show to perform her song “Who’s Got Your Money”.  She’s written songs for Britney Spears and Perez Hilton is a fan….not sure if that’s a good thing or not….

The 11.5 million World of Warcraft subscribers are now one player less.

And he is not happy.

This is the best thing you will see all day.

Someone used parts of the classic “Mrs. Doubtfire” and created a trailer as if it were a horror movie. The person responsible for this should be given a star on the Walk of Fame….or at the very least 1/2 off their next visit to Chik-fil-A.
