IS DREW BARRYMORE PREGNANT?



Drew was spotted leaving a doctor's office in Beverly Hills with her fiance' the other day, and someone snapped a picture of what looked like a bunch of sonogram photos in her hand.  (Those are the pictures they take of your baby when it's inside the uterus.  They also use it to get a look inside there to determine if there are other health problems too.)

Thanks to TMZ, pregnancy rumors have started! 

Drew's fiance' is a 34-year-old consultant named Will Kopelman.  Drew turns 37 today!

THIS HOARDER'S HOUSE IS SO MESSY, YOU CAN SEE IT FROM GOOGLE MAPS!

We're not sure if you watch the show "Hoarders," but it's an awesome show about people that collect all kinds of garbage in their house.  The show tries to find out why people are hoarding stuff, and then they clean the house. 

58-year-old Richard Baker is going to need a lot of people to help him out!  Richard has been collecting stuff at his house for 40 years.  He has so much stuff that you can see it over-flowing from Google Maps!

The ABC affiliate in San Francisco (ABC 7) decided to step in and help out.  The city is working at getting him some help because the fire marchal  declared the house unsafe, so cleanup is underway and expected to last TWO MONTHS!!!!

Richard is also getting treatment for his mental health issues.

CHRIS BROWN AND RIHANNA BACK TO DOING MUSIC TOGETHER


photo: killerhiphop.com

The rumors that Chris Brown and Rihanna are back together again are going crazy.  They've been spotted spending time together, and now they've released not one, but TWO songs together.

The first is a remix to Chris's song "Turn Up The Music."  The second is also a remix of Rihanna's song, "Birthday Cake," where Chris Brown sings about wanting to get with her and "lick her icing."  Hmmm, I wonder what that means?  It's NOT SAFE FOR WORK (NSFW) so listen with the volume turned down.



It was also Rihanna's 24th birthday yesterday, and Chris Brown made sure to wish her a happy one on Twitter.  He said, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBYN!"  (Robyn is Rihanna's real first name...her middle name is Rihanna.)

Rihanna re-Tweeted the message and added, "Thanks!"

What we want to know is if this is such a big deal to you?  Do you care that they're (allegedly) back together?

GLEE STAR, LEA MICHELE POSTS HER OWN BIKINI PICS




While hanging out in Cabo over the weekend, several paparazzi grabbed some pictures of Lea Michele rocking a pink bikini.  We're sure she knew they would be out there snapping away, so Lea decided to take her own picture and post it to her Twitter page. 



Is it us or is Lea's picture a HELL OF A LOT better than the crappy paparazzi's?  We know the paparazzi's picture was taken with a tele-photo lense, but damn.

NOW YOU CAN OWN A PIECE OF THE BODYGUARD





The brown vest and earrings that Whitney Houston wore in "The Bodyguard" are going to be auctioned off next month.

JANET AMID'S WEEKLY HOROSCOPES


Every week Janet is on the show to give you a free astrological reading.  We had her on this morning because we were off for President's Day yesterday, and Janet still gave us your weekly horoscopes. 

Pisces is known to be the most spiritual, imaginative, sensitive sign of the zodiac, and each year as the New Moon takes place, in this sensitive, intuitive emotionally-oriented water sign, it's time to tap into your creative self. In addition, it's a time for nostalgia, people resurfacing from the past, a time to relinquish old and bad habits. It's opposition to transiting Mars can be an influen...ce in that it may create a sense of apathy, restlessness and confusion. However much depends on how we handle the energies at hand.

Everyone has at least a little bit of the artist in them! Follow your intuition, pursue your dreams and watch the magic begin! This week, the New Moon takes place on Feb 21, 5:33 PM

However as mars transits your partnership house, you may find yourself trying to be too many things to too many people.

MONKEY DIVE BOMBS SOME GUY

INTERN JORDAN COMPLETES "BABY BIRDIE"

On the show yesterday, intern Jordan lost a challenge when Sid asked the group if the song "California Gurls" from Katy Perry ever went to number one.  It did, but Demetrius and Meaghan said that it didn't, knowing that intern Jordan would have to pay the price for being wrong.  That price was to get shocked (for a second time that morning) by our dog collar.  Intern Jordan didn't want to get shocked for a second time and said that she'd do anything else we could come up with.   (Bad idea!)

Sid decided to have her complete "Baby Birdie."  This is when someone (Meaghan) chews up food and spits it into another person's (intern Jordan) mouth.  It basically works just like a baby bird eats from its Mom.  Intern Jordan accepted her punishment, and we shot the video.  Enjoy!

IS THIS AWESOME OR PROOF THAT WE'RE LAZY?

Kroger has decided to take the next step in vending machines by creating a grocery store in a box.

The "Robotic Store," opened in Ada, Ohio last month near the campus of Ohio Nornthern University.  It's about the size of an enclosed bus stop.  It's refrigerated and carries up to 200 items.  It gets restocked daily with stuff like toiletries, cleaning supplies, milk, bread, fruit, and ground beef!  You can use cash, debit and credit cards to pay for your purchase.

I'm not sure how you feel about it, but I think it's an awesome idea!  So do other schools.  Officials from five other universities have come to Ada to check it out and decide if they're interested.  So, you MIGHT be seeing these pop up at UT and Bowling Green soon.

SEAL MAY HAVE ACCEPTED HIS IMPENDING DIVORCE


photo: TMZ

It's no suprise that Seal and wife Hedi Klum have separated.  The surprising part was that both Hedi and Seal were continuing to wear their wedding rings.  Immediately after they split, Seal was on "Ellen" saying he had "no intention" of removing his wedding band because, "it's a token of how I feel about this woman."  Apparently that's not the case for him anymore.

Yesterday Seal got of a plane in Australia NOT wearing the ring.  What he was wearing was BRIGHT YELLOW nail polish on his fingers -- drawing even more attention to the fact that he didn't have it on.  Way to be subtle about it Seal!

LINDSAY LOHAN IS NOW WHITE TRASH



In her never-ending desire to become someone that she probably never should be, Lindsay Lohan has finished yet another photo shoot that paints her in the light of TRASHY.

Lindsay just did a photo shoot for "Love" magazine where she poses for several slutty and white-trashy pics.  Here's another classy photo, IF you're interested:

SPENCER PRATT IS PHAT FAT


I'm sure everyone is happy to see this shot! 

Has-been Spencer Pratt was leaving a gas station in L.A. Tuesday when this gem was snapped.  It seems as though Spencer has lost his fame, good looks, TV show, and mind.  It's not all bad news though, because he's actually gained something.  About 40 pounds! 

Congrats bro...this proves there is karma.

AND WE'RE OFF...WHITNEY TRIBUTES

Since Whitney's death Saturday night, several celebrities have done tributes.  Ashanti was on Good Morning America and sang, "I've Got Nothing."  Aside from the quality of that performance (not good), LeAnn Rimes' performance is getting the most attention this morning. 

LeAnn was in Reno, Nevada and decided to do a tribute after hearing of Whitney's death.



Glee has also decided to do a tribute to Whitney.  Fox released this last night.

STARS ARE IN TROUBLE FOR ATTENDING CLIVE DAVIS' PARTY



Some of Hollywood's elite are getting flak for attending Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party as Whitney Houston's body was four floors above them.  A "crime lab" van was even parked among the limo's at the party.

What people didn't know is that the body was discovered AS the celebrities were making their way into the party.  What were they supposed to do?

There were celebrities that didn't attend.  Taylor Swift, Sharon Osbourne and Miley Cyrus declined to attend.

'FAKE' RESPONSE TO FACEBOOK DAD

On Friday we talked about a father that shot his daughter's laptop because she posted an embarrassing post to Facebook.  (Scroll down to Friday's post to see the video.)

Some girl decided to trick people and post a response to her "father."  From what we can tell this is NOT the fathers real daughter.  But you may want to see it.

By the way...Child Protective Services paid the father a visit this week. 


The Daughter Responds - Watch More Funny Videos

We're sure you've heard by now, Whitney Houston, 48, passed away this weekend.  The cause of death has yet to be determined.

An autopsy was performed yesterday, but the results of toxicology tests won't be available for a few weeks.

There is plenty of speculation as to how Whitney died.  Probably the biggest rumor (according to TMZ) is that Whitney took the drug Xanax and fell asleep while taking a bath before her scheduled appearance at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party.

Word is that Whitney's hairdresser and bodyguard grew concerned because she was in the bathroom for over an hour.  They knocked, and entered the room; finding Whitney under the water in the tub.  One of the bodyguards attempted CPR, but it was too late.  Whitney was pronounced dead at 3:55 P.M. (6:55 our time). 

TMZ posted a picture of Whitney's daughter, Bobbi being taken to the hospital.  She was overcome with emotion and had to get medical assistance.



Whitney Houston leaves behind an 18-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina.

HERE'S BLUE IVY CARTER

Beyonce' and Jay-Z have released the first pictures of their daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, along with the message, "We welcome you to share in our joy.  Thank you for respecting our privacy at this time in our lives."

You're welcome.  Thank you for not allowing us the chance to invade your privacy and for completely locking down everything within a 20-mile radius of you and your new babies.  To be honest Jay-Z, we're all kind of afraid of you. 

The best part of this story is that there seems to be a little jealousy brewing.  Mariah Carey and "husband" Nick Cannon just so happen to have released a picture of "dembabies" (Monroe and Moroccan) this weekend...AFTER Beyonce and Jay-Z threw theirs out there.  (They're pretty cute too.)

KRISTEN BELL GETS AUTO-TUNED

Two weeks ago, Kristen Bell was on Ellen explaining her most recent birthday experience.  Her boyfriend (Dax Shepard) rented a sloth and brought it to her house and birthday party.  Kristen showed video of her getting so excited that she coudn't speak. 

A production group took the video of that segment and auto-tuned it.  It's pretty funny.



*************************************************************

1. Myth: It's illegal for an interviewer to ask about your religion, national origin, marital status, number of children, etc.

Fact: In most states, the act of asking these questions itself is not illegal. What is illegal is basing a hiring decision on the answers to these questions. So since an employer can't factor in your answers, there's no point in asking them, and smart
interviewers don't go near these topics. (Note that it is illegal to ask about disabilities, however.)

2. Myth: It's illegal for employers to provide a detailed reference, or any information beyond confirming job title and dates of employment. 

Fact: It's legal for an employer to give a detailed reference, including negative information, as long as it's factually accurate. That said, some companies do have policies against giving references, but these policies are easily worked around; most reference-checkers don't have difficulties obtaining references, no matter what the official policies say.

3. Myth: If your boss bullies you, you can sue under "hostile workplace" laws.

Fact: Bullying or being a jerk is bad management, but it's not illegal. The exception: If your boss is being a jerk to you because of your race, gender, religion, or other protected class, then you do have legal protection. But 99 percent of jerky bosses act like jerks just because they are, and that is legal.

4. Myth: Employers are required to provide paid time off.

Fact: No state or federal law requires paid vacation time. A very small number of jurisdictions require paid sick leave, but the majority of Americans live in places not covered by those laws. Of course, most employers offer paid vacation and sick days anyway to be competitive and attract good employees--but there's a difference between what's smart and customary, and what's legal.

5. Myth: Your employer can't just reassign you to different duties or to a whole new job.

Fact: Unless you have a contract that says otherwise, your employer can change your job dramatically, including restructuring it completely. Saying "no" may mean saying no to working at the company.

6. Myth: An employer can't require you to attend work-related events outside of regular work hours.

Fact: You can indeed be required to attend events outside of your normal hours, including trainings, meetings, and even parties. However, if you're a non-exempt employee, then you must be paid for time you're required to participate in work-related activities.

7. Myth: Employers must provide you with breaks during the workday.

Fact: No federal law requires that workers receive lunch or other breaks. Some states require breaks, but most do not.

8. Myth: You can sue if your boss makes an offensive or discriminatory remark to you.

Fact: One remark on its own isn't enough for a discrimination lawsuit. Instead, a suit requires offensive conduct so severe that it alters the terms of your employment.

9. Myth: Your employer must warn you before you're fired.

Fact: No law requires employees receive warning before being fired. In fact, your boss can tell you that you're doing a great job every day for 300 days straight and then fire you on day 301 without any warning at all.

10. Myth: Your boss must have a justifiable reason for firing you.

Fact: Your employer can fire you for any reason at all or for no reason, as long as you're not being fired because of your membership in a legally protected class (race, religion, nationality, sex, marital status, disability, and so forth). You can even be fired because your boss doesn't like your laugh or the color of your shirt.

There are two exceptions: one, if you have a contract, which most people in
the United States do not; or two, if your company has an employee manual that
commits to always using specific disciplinary procedures before firing someone.
In the later case, your company is generally obligated to follow those procedures first.

HOW WOULD YOU HANDLE THIS?

A few days ago a man posted a video on YouTube explaining that he was going to punish his daughter for posting a complaint letter to Facebook.  He explains that this isn't the first time he's grounded her for posting something childish.

The video is getting attention because of how he punished her.

DRAMA ON IDOL

During last nights episode, contestant Symone Black fell off the stage after she was done performing.  First she started wobbling around, and then fell right off the front of the stage. 

In true American Idol style they went to break, only to tell us that we'll find out tonight if she's ok.  (We're sure she is...Idol wouldn't make you wait a day to find out she was seriously injured.)

If you missed it, check it out.  Symone's header happens around the 4:19 mark.




If you watched the video, or saw the episode, Steven Tyler's face is not filled with serious concern.  Since we thought that was weird, we thought we'd show you video of Steve falling off stage during a concert in 2009.  He suffered head and neck injuries in this fall.  Plus their next concert was cancelled.

THE TERMINATOR AND ROCKY ARE IN THE HOSPITAL...TOGETHER!



Arnold Schwarzenegger posted a strange picture on his website yesterday of him in the hospital next to Sylvester Stallone.

Apparently they were both in the hospital at the same time to have shoulder surgery. 

Arnold posted, "After all the action, stunts & physical abuse shooting 'The Expendables 2' and 'The Last Stand,' it was time for a little tune up on my shoulder.  Look who was coincidentally waiting in line behind me for his shoulder surgery.  Now we're ready for another round of great times and action when we shoot 'The Tomb'."

NE-YO "MAKING IT RAIN"



We got a few emails asking to see the pictures of Ne-Yo at an Atlanta strip club "making it rain."  (That's when you throw a bunch of money-usually ones-in the air at a strip club.)

Ne-Yo's girlfriend WAS there while this all went down.  Stay classy kid!

IS THIS REAL OR FAKE?

Videos have been popping up all over YouTube that show people from all over the world pulling out their video cameras and recording strange sounds.  To be honest, it's a little creepy.

Creepiness aside, we should say that their are some theories to this madness. 

1.  It's all a hoax and these people are douche bags for scaring old ladies (and us).
2.  It's a 'viral' promo for the new Godzilla movie coming out in 2014.  (The problem with that though is the movie is REALLY far away, and promoting it now wouldn't make too much sense.) 
3.  Aliens are communicating with each other and signaling that it's time to rise up and crush us so they can eat our food (and steal our gold).
4.  It's real, and the world WILL end in December this year.

Whatever way you want to go, it's gone viral, and you need to see what we're talking about.

HERE COMES THE NEW FAD...BRADYING!


photo: nfl

Let's (try) and go through the progression here.  There was planking, owling, Bat-manning, tea-cupping, coning, Kringling, and Tebowing.  Now, the world brings us..."BRADYING." 

"Bradying" is when you sit down with your shoulders slumped, head down, right hand in a fist cradled by the left hand, feet at right angles and forearms on your upper thighs.  (Refer to the picture above for correct positioning.)

This pose is obviously in reference to Tom Brady's position on the field after he threw the final (incomplete) pass of the Super Bowl. 

No matter how dumb you thought the others were, you gotta admit that it's kind of funny.  Unless you're a Patriots fan.  Then we're just sorry about Sunday.  Cheer up!
