Doritos......

Yeah....I couldn't do it. I'm back on my Dorito addiction. It worked for about 3 hours. I was too embarrassed to blog about my relapse until now.

DARN YOU FOR BEING SO GOOD!

The end.....of an era....

It's the ONLY thing I have known for so long.....

but I must bid adeu to.....

DORITOS!

People.....I turned 40...yes, 40.....a few months ago. I estimated that over the years, I have eaten approximately 3,800 bags of those delicious orangey triangles.

THREE THOUSAND, EIGHT HUNDRED BAGS

I can only imagine what my insides look like. My veins are probably coated with that cheesy goodness.

I'm not talking about the lunch size bags either....I am talking about the regular size bags. I used to be a "bag a day" person, but I am down to about a 1/2 bag now....but added a 1/2 bag of M&M's to the mix....yes, the big bags....not the little bag from the vending machine.

I realized I don't want to die when I'm 52, so I have taken the first step - I met with a personal trainer! I'm not saying that Doritos are killing me, but seeing that THEY are the staple of my diet, I am going to assume that they can't be as good for me as something called "broccoli" or "salad" might be.

I will keep you posted as to where I'm going and what I'm doing as soon as I make my first appointment!

I'm excited ya'll!

.

.

.

.

.

I'm nervous already. HOW CAN I GIVE UP 1 OF MY TRUE LOVES? Doritos have been with me my whole life! Cookouts, parties, job changes, boyfriend breakups, vacations, roadtrips, even when I had my son - right there in the delivery room I had a bag of Doritos.

.

.

.

.

Alllllllllright......I can't do it. I will cut down. I will ask my trainer dude what my daily allotment is for Doritos and will cherish every chip that passes my lips. If only they made Doritos light. How can I deprive myself of something so sinfully delicious?

.

.

.

I will cut down...I promise. But due to the recession and not wasting anything, I will be finishing the bags I have. It's the right thing to do. Why let those little guys go to waste. An ear of corn waited it's whole life to become a famous Doritos....I can't let it down and not appreciate the sacrifice it made to make me happy.

.

.

.

.I just re-read this.....I am insane.

Be Grateful for Your Challenges!

My Auntie Suse sent me this email this morning and I thought I would repost it to you!

People with clutter sometimes see their life challenges as unique and especially difficult. It's not true, but I understand why they reach that conclusion. Clutter is isolating, physically as well as socially. Much effort is expended hiding the clutter from others to the extent that the cluttered lifestyle prevents a person from developing close relationships.

If you can't have people over to your house, if you can't really talk about your life with your co-workers, if you don't have close friendships, you won't see that everyone has challenges to overcome. Not only will you have a lopsided view of your life as compared to everyone else's, but you'll miss out on the benefits of sharing your life with others, allowing them to provide support when you need it and giving your support in return. It's a two-way street that makes life richer, more enjoyable and much more manageable. Let's use the analogy of seeing the glass half empty or half full. Do you see everyone else's glass as overflowing while your glass has a hole in the bottom?

Louise Hay, motivational speaker, author, and founder of Hay House Publishing, promotes a uniquely positive approach to life. She, like many others, talks about the value of gratitude. But she is the only person I have ever heard recommend being thankful for your bills! Her reason is valid and worth considering. She says to be grateful for your bills because they represent others' trust in you. Other people have extended credit to you, provided services or products in exchange for your promise to pay them in the future. The bills are your opportunity to make good on your promise to pay for things you have already received such as electricity, phone service, a roof over your head, that wonderful restaurant meal, or your new shoes. Since we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving soon, this month's newsletter is about transforming complaints and challenges into opportunities for growth and gratitude.

Be grateful for your challenges. They make you stronger, more resilient and adaptive.
Be grateful for cloudy days. They help you appreciate the sunshine.
Be grateful for crabby people. They provide an opportunity to be kind.
Be grateful for the flu. It encourages people to wash their hands.
Be grateful for chilly fall days. They help our bodies prepare for winter.
Be grateful for your spouse or partner. They remind you that your way is not the only way.
Be grateful for your clutter. It gives you a reason to change your ways.
Be grateful for difficult relatives. They help you appreciate your friends.
Be grateful for the snow. It cleans the pollutants from the air.
Be grateful for the people who drive slowly in front of you. They provide an opportunity to look around and appreciate the beauty of the season.
Be grateful for demanding children. They remind us to give them the attention they deserve.
Be grateful for junk mail. (If you think of one for this, let me know!)
Be grateful for those who promote conflict. They strengthen our resolve to find a peaceful resolution.
Be grateful for your mistakes. They are opportunities to learn and grow.
Be grateful for people who are different. They remind us to celebrate our diversity as we strive to appreciate our similarities.
Be grateful for people who are negative. They make it easier to see positive alternatives.
Be grateful for your full calendar. It means that others value your time and ability.
Be grateful for economic constraints. They remind us that what is truly important in life can't be purchased.
Be grateful for your life today. It represents your choices thus far.
Be grateful for this list. It has come to an end!

THIS IS IT

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!

I would have to totally agree with Liz Taylor on her quote:

"You owe it to yourselves and your loved ones to see this again and again. Memorize and say to yourselves 'I saw GENIUS in my lifetime"

Obviously you all know I'm a HUGE Michael Jackson fan, so you probably figure that my review will be reflecting that fact. Well, let me tell you - even 1/2 fans of MJ will completely enjoy this movie. Honestly, I was a little afraid that I was going to have to sit there and listen to stupid commentary from the Jackson family with concert footage thrown inbetween. HALLELUJAH - Not ONE Jackson family member weaseled their way into this fantastic film. This Is It is 112 minutes of pure Michael Jackson concert rehearsal footage. And let me tell you - there were NO body doubles at all. There was no place that a body double would have been needed. You get to see MJ interact with the dancers (who are fantastic), the musicians and director Kenny Ortega.

MJ looked GREAT! The man is tall and skinny. Has been for years and years and years. He was having a great time and didn't look ill at all (which clearly says to me - he was carelessly murdered by that stupid doctor).

The production elements for certain songs (I don't want to give anything away) was definitely some of the most impressive work I would have seen intertwined with any artist in any concert.

I was also appreciative that there was no sappy ending. At the end of the movie, the movie ended....that was it. No need for any sensational video footage of ambulances, hospitals, vigils or a funeral service.

So take it from me and Liz - DON'T MISS THIS ON THE BIG SCREEN!! Sure you can buy the DVD at sonystyle.com/thisisit, but seeing MJ do all his dance moves HUGE is unreal.

The cool lanyard I got!

OK, now on to THEATRE ETIQUETTE......

1 - Don't bring a 3 year old to a movie unless it's a cartoon. There was a kid that kept saying "is it over....is it over....is it over" whenever there was a silence.

2 - Don't TALK....big fat DUH. There were 2 foreign ladies behind me that talked the whole freakin' time. I even did the turn around/evil scowl face TWICE and they didn't stop.

3 - Should you feel the need to share your Tootsie Pop stash - don't yell down to the person 5 seats away to ask if they want one.

4 - If there are numerous seats open, don't sit right infront of someone. I moved seats twice so I didn't have to have someone's fat head inbetween me and the moonwalk.

So with all that said - please silence your cellphone and enjoy the mindblowing rehearsal of what would have been THE concert of a life time!

THIS IS IT

Don't blame it on the sunshine,

Don't blame it on the good time,

BLAME IT ON THE BOOGIE!

Ya know what sucks - a lot of stuff.

My Dentist Adventure

Whoa......that is all I can say about my experience today! It was so weird that I honestly can't believe it! The weirdness has nothing to do with my fabu dentist - Dr. Ricci. I had a filling today and let me tell you - no pain, and I didn't look like Mary Jo Buttafucco for hours afterward. The man is amazing! A true artist of the mouth.

The weird part is how my mind want WACKO on the happy gas! I've been getting happy gas forever and I love it! Not in some crazy happy gas addict type person, but I mean, if my teeth are getting drilled, I might as well be high as a kite for a few minutes. My teeth have seen their share of the dentist chair, so I'm well aware of the magical-ness of the gas, but never in my life have I had such strange things going on in my brain!

Here are the highlights - at one point I thought the lady in my mouth was Mimi from Days Of Our Lives (Farah Fath - who now plays Gigi on One Live To Live) and had no problem with her there, once I thought I was in Dr. Hecher's office (childhood dentist), at one point I questioned my age, I also was expecting to see my old neighbor Jeff Engle, my grade school principal Mr. Engen and my 6th grade teacher Mr. Hall. I also thought the light thing was reallllllly long and scanning my face. And when I say questioned my age - I honestly thought I was in 6th grade again. I was questioning if my life really was where I thought it was, or if it was all a dream. HONESTLY! It was the strangest gas experience of my life!

Usually I'm just like goo in the chair, today was bizzzzzare! And the good news is, I have to go again in a few weeks! I wonder what will happen next time!

Thursday Gossip!

If anyone is interested - there is a SARAH SILVERMAN / JIMMY KIMMEL sex tape. It was supposedly filmed a few years ago, when the two of them were still together, obviously. The video they say it's about 15 minutes long.....they did not comment on Jimmy...

*

Are JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE and JESSICA BIEL still together??? Or has Justin ditched Jessica for RIHANNA??? We still don't know the answer . . . but the rumors are flying. "People" magazine says Justin and Jessica ARE still together. Their so-called "source" says, quote, "They're together. They're not breaking up. Any time they spend time apart it's because they're working." "Us Weekly" claims that Justin ended his relationship with Jessica - over the phone - about a month ago.

*

Did you know MARIAH CAREY would only be photographed ONLY FROM HER RIGHT SIDE. Well, now that she's older...dont' tell her I said that....she has become friends with her left side. She said "Someone told me when I was 19 starting in the business, my right side was my best side and I listened to them. I don't care anymore. Sometimes I like [the left] side . . . and Nick likes that side better anyway." ...keep in mind Nick sees the worst talent in America every week.

*

Surely there are better ways to keep your self grounded if you're a star....But one star says --"At one point I was digging goat manure and putting it into a wheelbarrow, and while shoveling it, I just went, 'Oh, my God, this is exactly what I want to be doing right now.'" This gem came from Ellen Page of Juno fame. Wouldn't just shopping at Target be good enough to keep a star grounded? Brit Brit shops there.....

*

British people are known for their bad teeth, fish and chips and their fun cockney slang....they're not known to be great lovers of film apparently. Here is a list of their top 5 movie heroines......

#1.) Erin Brockovich . . . played by JULIA ROBERTS in "Erin Brockovich".
#2.) Clarice Starling . . . played by JODIE FOSTER in "The Silence of the Lambs".
#3.) Lara Croft . . . played by ANGELINA JOLIE in the "Tomb Raider" movies.
#4.) Ellen Ripley . . . played by SIGOURNEY WEAVER in the "Alien" flicks.
#5.) Sarah Conner . . . played by LINDA HAMILTON in the first two "Terminator" movies.

Ummmm, Cristabelle Abbott...Paris Hilton from the Hottie and the Nottie? HELLLLO.

*

She's baaaaaaaaaaaack! Well almost. Eliz Hasselbeck will be back on The View too soon in my opinion. She'll be annoying you on a daily basis beginning on October 19th.

*

Another day, another tantrum by Kanye West....this time over food. Vibe magazine says Kanye went crazy when he wasn't offered chicken...yes....chicken. Here is how it went down: Supposedly, Kanye saw some guy eating chicken, ran up to a waitress and yelled, quote, "Why wasn't I offered chicken? You want me to perform for free, [and] everyone is eating . . . why am I not eating?" The waitress apologized, and said they didn't know he wanted anything because he never asked. At that point, Kanye shouted back, quote, "Well, I'm asking now!" Then, when Kanye finally got his chicken, he took one bite . . . and dropped the rest in the trash.

Friday Gossip!

I think it's a case of SOUR GRAPES! Singer Mya (who is single) thinks the Khloe and Lamar getting married is just a publicity stunt and is FAKE! Can't 2 people just fall in love and rush into it for fun? I THINK SO! But Mya thinks that Khloe is just sick of her sisters getting all the attention and is trying to grab the spotlight for herself for a bit. LIGHTEN UP MYA! They're in love!

*

And speaking of the 2 love birds, Lamar issued a statement saying thanks but no thanks to the offer of the crazy bachelor party planned by Girls Gone Wild dude Joe Francis and his future brother-in-law Rob Kardashian. He decided to go low key and just go to dinner with some teammates and friends (who included Joe and Rob). Khloe had a low key bachelorette party too - just friends for a night of facials, massages and other treatments.

*

Supposedly The Queen of Singleness (Jennifer Anniston) had a meltdown on her lastest movie set. She holed herself up in her trailer crying because a scene she was about to shoot with Gerard Butler reminded her of her ex-Brad Pitt. Jenn's rep of course said this was ridiculous and never happened.

*

Martha Simpson says she's sorry?!?! She told Jessica Simpson a few days ago to "get another dog" and basically stop crying about her dog Daisy being EATEN by a coyote. Martha now says, "I said that she should have been watching her dog more closely, but I feel very, very sorry for anybody that loses a pet. Jessica, I hope you find your pet, but if you don't, I'm really sorry that you lost one."

*

Mooooooore Mackenzie on Oprah. The other day she was on talking about having consensual sex with her father while she was growing up. Obviously people have come out saying there is no way that that story was true. Well, today Chynna Phillips (Mac's 1/2 sister) is in studio saying that she believes was she is saying. Mac will be on via-satellite.

*

1 foot on a banana peel the other in the mausoleum? Seems that way for Liz Taylor. After attending MJ's funeral she said "I felt a sense of pease there that I've never experienced before." She liked the stained-glass windows and replicas of Michelangelo's artwork. Word is she'd like to be next to MJ for all eternity when she kicks the bucket.

Mama Kris was on Ryan's show yesterday and said "You know, that's how Bruce and I met. We met, and we were married four months later. Isn't that romantic?"

*

It's probably okay to trust CHRIS BROWN with hedge clippers, as long as there are no lippy broads around. The Virginia Department of Corrections must have felt the same way, because they gave him a pair yesterday for another day of community service.

*

What do Uncle Joey and Anna Nicole Smith have in common? Besides both their careers being dead? They both owe the IRS! Dave Coulier owes more than $49,000 in back taxes and Anna Nicole is in arrears from beyond the grave. Her estate owes California $43,000.

To make room for Michael Vick on the Philadelpia Eagles, Hank Baskett (fiance of Kendra Wilkinson) was CUT! However, he's already been picked up the the Indianpolis Colts! Kendra says, quote, "This is a great opportunity for Hank to be playing for the Colts. Peyton Manning is one of the best . . . if not the best . . . quarterbacks in the league, and I'm excited to see my baby kick some ass!"

I love this news~! The not-always-reliable British tabloids say that JANET JACKSON and MADONNA are going to team up for a duet as a tribute to Michael. Supposedly, they came up with the idea while having dinner after Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards.

PATRICK SWAYZE'S remains have been cremated, according to his death certificate. There's no word what'll be done with them . . . but we've heard unofficially that they'll be scattered at Patrick's ranch in New Mexico.

PAULA ABDUL hosted "VH1 Divas" last night . She opened the show by saying, quote, "Good evening everyone! I'm Paula Abdul . . . and this is NOT 'American Idol'." I thought she did a pretty decent job!!! She also performed her hit, "Straight Up" and almost WIPED OUT onstage. And actually, it looks like she could've fallen OFF the stage.

http://www.vh1.com/video/play.jhtml?id=1621664&vid=438019

She also impersonated ELLEN DEGENERES , complete with a blonde wig, a blazer, and tennis shoes and danced around like Ellen does at the beginning of her talk show. When the music died down, she said, quote, "Why you all staring at me? Can't a girl try out a new job? All kidding aside, nothing but love, Ellen. And I wish you the best of luck and congratulations on your new gig.
And call me. You gotta call me if you have any Simon problems . . . 'cause you know, I know him best."

Thursday Gossip!

Along with Goldie and Kurt, Oprah and Stedman sing the praises and benefits of not getting married. Opie says "Had we made the official marriage commitment, we wouldn't still be together. The reason the relationship works is that we get to define it on our terms. It would be very different if we were in a 'traditional' relationship where I was expected to be a wife and every now and then cook a meal!" I bet Oprah likes to say - YOU DON'T OWN ME!

*

If an engagement breaks up at the workplace, can the 2 still be civil in such close quarters? Well
"Dancing With the Stars", KARINA SMIRNOFF thinks so. She and fellow dancer MAKSIM CHMERKOVSKIY broke up not too long ago and she says "It's kind of easy to stay friends. We were friends for 14 years, before anything else. It will always remain this way. It's not difficult. We both think the world of each other."

*

You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.....Nope, not talking about the Incredible Hulk, just little pretty Megan Fox who says "My temper is ridiculously bad. I've destroyed the house. I go bat(crap). I've had to say to Brian, 'You have to go and stop talking to me, because I'm going to kill you. I'm going to stab you with something, please leave.' I'd never own a gun for that reason. I wouldn't shoot to kill. But I would shoot him in the leg, for sure." YIKES!

Dirtbag CHRIS BROWN started his community service yesterday picking up garbage and cleaning police horse stables in his hometown of Richmond, Virginia. He even Tweeted on the way - like we'd care, quote, "On my way to community service." He's got 179 more days of hard labor to complete . . . but corrections officials plan to work around his showbiz schedule. SOOO not fair, I don't think they should do that. Do your time just like everyone else! No special treatment!

*

Burt Reynolds is in rehab! I think his hair piece was telling him to take drugs, but that isn't the official story. Burt took a spill at his place while boozing and popping pills and was found semiconscious and covered in blood. He was taken to the emergency room, but he was acting so strangely that they took him to a mental health facility. And doctors there refused to release him unless he agreed to check into rehab. Poor Bandit!

*

Poor Jessica Simpson! Still searching for her baby Daisy who was snatched up by a coyote the other day. Jessica STILL hasn't given up hope of finding it. In fact, she's hooked up with a dog-finding service called FindToto.com . . . which calls itself, quote, "kind of an amber alert for missing pets." Daisy is a 10-pound Malti-Poo. Jess says - "Daisy is my baby . . . why would I stop searching? I'm a mom."

GEORGE CLOONEY is our CELEBRITY HERO OF THE DAY, for saying this . . . quote, "I would rather have a prostate exam on live television by a guy with very cold hands than have a Facebook page." Dang it....I wanted to be his FB Friend!!!

So I guess Britney CAN'T have everything she sees! Recently she was paging through a modeling catalog and saw a dude she liked. His name - Bekin Trenova. Stats - 24 years old, 6 ft tall, brown hair, hazel eyes. Sounds yummy! Well Brit thought the same thing and had her people invite him to a music video audition. WELLLL, it wasn't actually an audition. When Bekin showed up, it was just Brit lookin all sexy like. She made it pretty clear she was interested in dating him more so than hiring him. Bekim didn't think that was so cool and was mad that it wasn't an actual job interview and left!! Of course Brits people are denying this story.

SOMEONE CALL MADONNA! Turns out Elton John can't adopt the Ukrainian toddler I was telling you about yesterday. Yuriy Pavlenko, the Ukraine's Family, Youth and Sports Minister, says that Elton and his partner, DAVID FURNISH, can't adopt because foreign citizens who want to adopt have to be MARRIED, and same-sex marriage isn't recognized in the Ukraine. Also, they can't be older than 45. Elton is 62.


*

In Whitney Houston's interview with Oprah yesterday - she pretty much called Bobby Brown every thing, except his name. Can you believe Whit started doing drugs BEFORE The Bodyguard in '92?? However, she apparently never did Crack....so I guess she meant it when she said it was whack. They did use ROCK cocaine, though. She and Bobby would lace joints with it. Whitney made sure to note that she never did drugs by herself - it was always with Bobby. THIS IS THE BEST PART: Toward the end, Whitney said things got so bad that Bobby was cutting her head off in pictures and painting, quote, "evil eyes" on their bedroom walls. WWWEEEEIIIRRRD!!!

CODE YELLOW!

What an exciting day as Lunch Lady at my son's school! First of all - it was Grilled Cheese Day - as requested by me! Yes kids, thank ME for the Grilled Cheese today at school! mmmmm!

But that wasn't even the best part! There was a CODE YELLOW! There are 3 lunch periods and inbetween the 1st and 2nd lunches, there was an armed robbery at a near by shopping center. So while the cops were cruising around trying to find the bad guys, the school was on lock down! All doors and windows locked up tight! ( The students were all back to their classrooms before the Code Yellow went into effect.)

We (the other lunch lady's) were in the cafeteria and our fearless leader - Queen Lunch Lady Mary - and Cool Gym Teacher Lady were on the walkie-talkies with the Principal. A few squad cars cruised in and out of the parking lot looking for the perp (something I picked up after years of watching Law & Order...and of course from my 2 days on Jury Duty last week). Our Principal was the hero of the day with the comment "I am ready to run over anyone that comes into this parking lot."

After about 45 minutes, it went CODE GREEN - which meant all clear - so we could continue the lunch service and were free to move about the cabin. HOWEVER, it was at that precise time that the clouds opened up and it POURED rain! I had to leave to come to work, so I couldn't help the other ladies who serve the kids lunch and haul alllllllll the stuff over to the school!

So I would like to recognize the fabulousness of the Wednesday Lady's right now:

Queen Mary

Liz

Kathy

Erin

Martha

Cool Gym Teacher Lady

Becky - who is usually there, but missed the excitement today

Other Kathy

and other lady I'm not sure of her name

So unless Madonna comes to the studio today, I think that was the big excitement of my day!

Tuesday Gossip!

Say it ain't so! The Obama's almost got divorced? Yes, according to the National Enquirer, there is a new book coming out (by author Christopher Andersen) that says back when Barack was an Illinois State Senator times were rocky! He and Michelle weren't communicating, romance was out the window and the sex was gone! Mich wanted him to play a bigger role at home or it was over! Needless to say, he must have stepped as they seem to be happy again!

* Amy! What are you doing? Word on the street is Amy Winehouse is getting back together with her bad news ex-husband Blake! The divorce was final only a week ago, but supposedly they met up on Friday and WENT TO A BAR! After drinks Amy snuck him into her place THROUGH A WINDOW! Security as strict orders to keep that low life out of her newly cleaned up life.

* Looks like Rihanna might have a new love in her life! Some dude named Travis London turned her head and they have been out on numerous dates over the past week in LA. Travis used to date Michelle Tanner aka Mary Kate Olsen.

* Kim Kardashian is telling the world her sister Khloe is happily dating Lamar Odom of the LA Lakers! Lamar just signed a nice 4 year deal with the Lakers for $33 million! He's got 2 kids - 10 and 7. Lamar said "Khloe is smart and beautiful and that is very hard to find." TRACY NOTE: I went to DASH in Miami over the weekend....blah blah blah. Wasn't impressed.

* Just another reason to love love love Sandra Bullock! She told Parade magazine that "There's more to life than just looking for the right guy. If I can do anything in this time of my career, it's to make it easier for girls who are growing up not to feel they have to wind up with someone to complete them. You know, I complete me. I'm just lucky that after I completed myself, I met someone who could tolerate me." She of course is married to super cool dude Jessie James.

* Poor Jessica Simpson. The girl just can't get a break. Jess was a surprise guest model at French fashion show last Thursday and her dress was HORRIBLE! It looked like a suped up Hefty Bag. The designer was Ozlem Suers.

* 2 places I don't think a person should Twitter - in the loo and at a funeral. Violating one of these two was Al Sharpton who was tweeting while at Michael Jackson's funeral.

1: "I am sitting at the burial services of michael jackson. I am talking to actress lisaraye mc coy . . . and tom mesereau . . . Tom represented MJ in the molestation case.

2: "We are all discussing his battles. What MJ went through was so unfair, yet he succeeded. In the end, he was the biggest artist ever. He faced the headwinds but he made it."

3: "I just spoke at the conclusion of tributes. Gladys Knight sang her heart out. Now we prepare to lay him to rest."

4: "MICHAEL JACKSON HAS BEEN LAID TO REST."

Dude has no class.....

* If you missed the 44th Annual Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon over the weekend, you missed one SUPER fabulous thing! Charo (yes...miss Koochie Koochie) singing Rihanna's "Please Don't Stop The Music"......followed up by her giving Jerry a lap dance.

* GOOOOD TV TONIGHT YA'LL! "90210" [2nd Season Premiere] at 8:00 on The CW, followed by "Melrose Place" [SERIES Premiere] at 9:00 on The CW. (--The new version stars Ashlee Simpson, Katie Cassidy and "Cloverfield's" Jessica Lucas. Plus Laura Leighton returns as her character from the original show, Sydney Andrews.)

* Welcome To Atlanta where the playas give away cars! Ludacris gave away 20 cars in a contest he set up called the "Ludacris Stimulus Package." He'd teamed up with a local Nissan dealership to give free used cars to people who were struggling to make ends meet. Ludacris said "People are getting laid off, and now are looking for jobs. To be efficient, you need some transportation of your own to get there. That's why I wanted to give back to those who need it." The winners also received 30 days of FREE GAS . . . but they were responsible for taking care of the costs for tags, registration, tax and insurance.) *

Your Friday Gossip!

Time to go to the Pottery Barn and pick up a gravy boat! The New York Post said Derek Jeter and Minka Kelly (of Friday Night Lights) are engaged and tying the knot in the fall after baseball season! BUT - save the receipt....Minka's rep says no wedding planned to Derek Jeter.

* UNtying the knot - possibly Avril Lavigne and Deryck Wehibley of SUM 41! He's just a band boy and said see ya later boy!

* I don't think I want friends like Jessica Simpson's! They were trying to console her about her break up with Tony Romo by saying that he hit on them while still dating her! WHY DIDN'T THEY TELL HER THAT SOONER?!?

* "I only comment on other people's lives, not my own" That is something I'd say! But it came from Chelsea Handler when asked about her break up with her boss - Comcast CEO Ted Harbert.

* From the TMI File - Kourtney Kardashian wants us to know that she went to her doctor to inquire about breastfeeding her future baby. Dr said - "You just need to try it because you won't know til you try".

* If I would have known I would have send flowers and chocolate and candy and a stuffed animal! George Clooney broke his hand a few months ago when is slammed it in a car door on his property in Lake Como, Italy! He is fine and will be able to hold my hand very soon.

* Uh Oh....Lilo is in trouble! Turns out some of the stuff that was stolen (when the perps walked into her house through the UNLOCKED DOOR) was $2 MILLION worth of borrowed jewelry from 14 Karats. A source says "If something is not resolved soon, there will be legal action".

* Way back in 2001, John Mayer was arrested in the ATL for driving with a suspended license. The charge was eventually dropped. Well, for some reason, he challenged TMZ to produce the mugshot. If they did, he'd donate $25K to the charity of their choice. Well, both TMZ and The Smoking Gun found the pic and John's wallet is a little lighter.

* Cancel that family trip to the Forest Lawn Cemetery....Security is gonna be TIGHT for MJ's funeral and they are saying you won't even see the green of the Forest Lawn.

* If you've always wanted to be a dead rock star, but don't rock and aren't dead....Guitar Hero 5 now has your chance. The game comes out on Tuesday and dead Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain will be a featured playable character.

* Taylor Swift is coming out with a cookbook! I guess she's not big enough to have a personal chef.... She told SUGAR magazine that she will put together a book of family reciepes including her Mother's brisket. Faaabulous!
