The groundhog saw his shadow. That means 6 more weeks of winter if you believe in Punxsutawney Phil.
Happy Groundhog Day!
Porn Clip Aired During Super Bowl
February 2, 2009 By 1 Comment
Arizona Super Bowl viewers with Comcast services were treated to 15 seconds of porn during the game. Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald caught a touchdown pass and as the fans celebrated at home a clip of soft core porn slipped into the tv feed.
Per Tucson Citizen:
Comcast spokeswoman Tracy Baumgartner confirmed in an Associated Press report that the company’s standard feed – but not its high definition one – was interrupted during the Super Bowl. She said engineers were investigating Sunday night.
I actually saw the clip myself. A man and a woman were sitting on a couch. The woman unzipped the mans pants, he then stood up dropped his pants and his naughty bits were clearly visible. He then shook ‘himself’ back and forth in front of the woman’s face. The feed was then cut back to the game.
Furious customers flooded Comcast demanding an explanation. Customers were given an apology and some sort of customer satisfaction credit.
Sounds like that trumps Janet Jackson’s floppy boob Super Bowl scandal.
Britney Spears to Cancel ‘Circus’ Tour ?!?
February 2, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Britney Spears’ upcoming highly anticipated “Circus” tour since her comeback is in danger of being canceled according to a new report. She will end up canceling her tour if ex husband Kevin Federline lawyers continue to block an agreement allowing her to take the kids on the road. For weeks now Britney, K-Fed, and daddy Jamie Spears have been trying to map out a plan to allow Spears to travel with her two children, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
The plan is to have homes in 3 different cities – New Jersey, New Orleans, and Los Angeles. Her boys would stay in one of three cities, with Britney commuting in between all three depending on her schedule. And just whats in it for K-Fed? He would be given his own pad in each of the three bases, and be paid in excess of $4,000 a week for each week she’s on tour. Basically, the 4 grand is “STFU and let me play mommy with my kiddies” money.
K-Feds lawyers became aware of this agreement and were furious that this was all handled behind their backs. They accused Daddy Spears of going behind their backs and cutting them out. K-Fed’s lawyers aren’t amused with the deal for reasons unknown. Sources tell TMZ that K-Fed’s lawyers have said they object to the plan but won’t specifically say why. If an agreement doesn’t pan out, Spears is adament that she WILL cancel her upcoming tour. She has been working hard to regain 50/50 custody of her kids with Federline, and doesn’t want to hurt her progress. The three have also worked out a long-term agreement, which would extend the arrangement. That too, could end up compromised.
UGH. Can’t the lawyers just let it be since this is all in Britney, Kevin and the boys’ best interest? Stay tuned…

Jennifer Hudson’s Super Bowl 2009 Performance – Video
February 1, 2009 By Leave a Comment
This was the first time that Jennifer Hudson publicly stepped out to an event since the tragic passing of her mother, brother and nephew. She did a fantastic job singing the National Anthem for the 2009 Super Bowl and it was clearly an emotional time for her.
Being that I am not good emotional situations I will just leave at the fact that she sang a beautiful rendition of the song and looked FIERCE. I am now hunting down that jacket she wore.
Also, NY Daily had this to say of her performance:
“She owned the song like no one has done since Whitney Houston seized it at the 1991 Super Bowl.”

Michael Phelps Confirms Weed Smoking Photo is Real
February 1, 2009 By 6 Comments
The current scandal is a photo of Michael Phelps smoking weed. (See That Photo Here) The image shows the swimmer using a bong. British paps broke the story and published the photo that might end his Olympic dreams. Questions as to the legitimacy of the photo of course came into play. However he has confirmed that the photo is real in a statement.
Per The Associated Press Via ESPN:
Phelps said: “I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I’m 23 years old and despite the successes I’ve had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.”
I am also told that the World Anti-Doping Agency enforces a suspension for athletes who are drug offenders, which includes the Olympics. The Agency typically bans drug using athletes for 4 years. First time offenders typically face a 2 year leniency. He might just be able to squeak by and still be aloud to compete in London.
Britney Spears Fights Sam Lufti, Adnan Ghalib
February 1, 2009 By Leave a Comment
The former duo that dragged down Britney is back. A restraining order has been put in place to protect the Spears goodie package again.
Conservators for Britney Spears have gotten another restraining order against Sam Lutfi, Adnan Ghalib and Jon Eardley. All three men were apart of her inner circle while she was hitting rock bottom. Sam was her manager, Adnan was the leeching paparazzi gold digging boyfriend and Jon is the super shady attorney on side of Lufti. Recently Sam has been trying to weasel his way back into the Spears family. He was kicked off his leeching from Britney after her father took conservation over his daughter and managed to bring her back to the surface. Both Ghalib and Lufti were forbidden from contact with the pop princess.
After her comeback from the dismal “Blackout” days, the Britney machine is back in motion. Her former clique wants back on that train.
TMZ reports:
“One of the lawyers in the case filed a declaration saying over the past month she received “multiple telephone calls and text messages from Lutfi.” She says Lutfi wanted to set up an urgent meeting to “speak with Mr. Spears and me with regard to what he claimed was ‘information he had received about Mr. Spears and his daughter, Britney Spears as well as others.’” The attorney also says Lutfi claimed “he had been talking with Adnan Ghalib about the conservatorship and Ms. Spears’ status as a conservatee.”
In another document, one of the conservatorship lawyers claims “Mr. Lutfi has sent text messages and instant messages that contain false and hurtful allegations concerning Mr. Spears, Ms. Spears, and the Spears family.” The lawyer continues, “Mr. Lutfi, Adnan Ghalib, and Jon Eardley sought unsuccessfully to induce an attorney to file” false statements with the court.”
But this isn’t all unprovoked. It is also rumored that Britney has been voluntarily talking with Adnan and tipping him as to where she will be next. He then gets his paparazzi lackeys to show up at her destination.

Michael Phelps Smoking Pot – Photo
February 1, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Roll your eyes and fake a gasp as the ‘news’ that Michael Phelps smokes marijuana has broken. The real reality of the news is that this photo of Phelps using a bong could lead to a ban from the next Olympic games.
Laws for the games ban competitiors for 4 years for any kind of drug use. The 2012 London hosted Olympics was said to be Michael’s last swim for the gold medal. If the committee and heads of the sporting games find this suffient proof of his drug use, it could be over for Phelps. The US Olympics Committee, World Anti-Doping Agency and his coach, Bob Bowman all refused to comment at this time. According to News of the World a Phelps spokesman, Clifford Bloxham, however did.
Via News of the World:
“Spokesman Clifford Bloxham offered us an extraordinary deal not to publish our story, saying Phelps would become our columnist for three years, host events and get his sponsors to advertise with us.
In return, he asked that we kill Phelps’ bong picture. Bloxham said: “It’s seeing if something potentially very negative for Michael could turn into something very positive for the News of the World.”’
Friends and family are reportedly worried about the record smashing swimmer beyond his gold medal dreams. He has been “spinning out of control” and “partying” constantly. The photo above is said to have been taken at a party at the University Of South Carolina. Stunned party goers wear not only impressed that a celebrity had walked into their party, but how well he could drink and smoke.
“You could tell Michael had smoked before. He grabbed the bong and a lighter and knew exactly what to do. He looked just as natural with a bong in his hands as he does swimming in the pool. He was the gold medal winner of bong hits. Michael ended up getting a little paranoid, though, because before too long he looked like he was nervous and ran out of the place.”
This isn’t the first time he has found himself in trouble with booze. In 2004 after his Olympic success he was caught drinking under the influence at a youthful 19 years old.
Such a waste, but really…do you think over 6 feet of butterface with gobs of cash in his 20’s is going to sit at home and host canasta tournaments?
