One less chocolate chip in the world

Walker Edmiston, who voiced Ernie the Keebler elf in commercials, died last week at the age of 81 from complications of cancer.

I will have a Fudge Shoppe Stripe Cookie in memory of Walker Edminston.
I suggest you have one too...

Make Chris Hansen talk!

"I want to wrestle you."

NBC's To Catch a Predator is one of the most uncomfortable shows to watch. Even more uncomfortable is some of the things that the host, Chris Hansen, has to read out loud from online chats. Uncomfortable, yes. Laughable, no doubt.

Now you can make Chris Hansen talk! Click on the link below for the Chris Hansen soundboard!

Best Photoshop ever

It aws brought to my attention that I have not posted anything about the phenomenal meltdown of Britney Spears. I figured that most of you have been reading up on it elsewhere, but then I ran across this picture and had to post it.
There are just too many photoshop opportunities with her new 'do.'

More Music Newz!

From Pollstar.com:
It's true. The Van Halen tour that was never officially announced is now officially postponed indefinitely, sources told Pollstar. The rumored tour took on an air of reality after a trade magazine announced that original singer David Lee Roth was about to sign on the dotted line, and that was soon followed by a press release via Eddie Van Halen’s spokeswoman-slash-girlfriend. Unfortunately, the worldwide frenzy of a VH reunion was too good to be true, at least for the present day. However, there was a lot of paper getting inked and Pollstar understands that a tour announcement might not have been far off.

On another reunion tour note... It is impossible to get Police tickets. Shows sold out in no time flat. According to a close source, a friend was waiting overnight in line outside of MSG for tickets. 12 people went in, got tickets, and there were no more left. Tickets are going for thousands on ebay. This is all due to the fact that The Police had 2 presales. One through Best Buy, the other through their Fan Club. More dates are being added, but those tickets will still be just as hard to get. My dream to relive the 80's for one night is dwindling.

Most BS headline ever

"Do you threaten Paul for millions of dollars while swinging this at his head?"

As our good friend, and fellow Blogger, Petey G pointed out, ABC is kicking off its new season and lineup of Dancing With The Stars. La tee da.
With all the press it is getting, below is the headline of a story that Yahoo! posts on their front page.

Heather Mills to be first 'Dancing' contestant with artificial limb

First off, we are in season 4 of the show. This show hasn't been around for 20 years and featured hundreds of participants yet. If she were to host of the long running, multi hosted gameshow Family Fued, then yes, she is the first host of that show to have an artificial limb.
Below are a few headlines that Yahoo! could have posted instead. Feel free to comment with your own.

Heather Mills to be first 'Dancing' contestant that is the most money hungry.
Heather Mills to be first 'Dancing' contestant to be hated by the most Beatles fans ever.
Heather Mills to be first 'Dancing' contestant that will have the most akward audience reaction if she falls.

Chris Cornell to Leave Audioslave

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Chris Cornell is leaving rock group Audioslave, citing "irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences."
"I wish the other three members nothing but the best in all of their future endeavors," Cornell said Thursday in a statement.
An after-hours call to Audioslave's music label was not immediately returned.
Cornell, 42, a former singer and guitarist with Seattle grunge band Soundgarden, said he'll release a solo album May 1 called "Carry On." He also co-owns a restaurant in Paris, where he splits his time.
Audioslave was formed in 2001 and comprised of Cornell and three former members of Rage Against the Machine. The group recorded three albums and performed in Havana in 2005.
Meanwhile, Rage Against the Machine planned to reunite to perform at this year's Coachella Valley Arts and Music Festival, which runs April 27 through 29. Tom Morello, the lead guitarist of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, has said the concert is a one-shot deal.

Break out the short shorts...

WHAM! is getting back together. That's right.
I am trying to think of something witty to say, but the picture above has me at a loss for words.

LOST update

I am sure that tonight, many of you will be sitting in front of your TV at 10PM to watch LOST at its new time (FYI...There is recap episode on from 9p-10p). Below is a quick review of the first episode of this season, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly. It gives some insight into what to expect tonight. Below is a link posted to Q&A from Entertainment Weekly with Lost exec producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse.

"I'm not going to screw around. It's good. Really good. Like season-one, stuff-gets-answered, can't-wait-for-the-next-episode good. To recap: Ben is bleeding out on the table. Jack is demanding the release of Kate and Sawyer. And the fan base is demanding some frickin' forward movement. Well, how about the full-on Juliette backstory? Information about how the Others ended up on the Island? Super-creepy Dharma experiment sequences? Yeah. You know you want it. And by the end, you'll be begging for more. Well, that, and praying that this isn't just another tease from a show that always seems to start strong out of the gate." — Daniel Fierman
