Congrats to Lauren Nelson, Miss America 2007! Hopefully she will stay clean and sober…which I am guessing since these ladies tend to be much more wholesome than their Miss USA counterparts.

Honestly I think Miss America is much better than Miss USA. If you didn’t watch it you missed out. There was a tap number, and Mario Lopez. Take that Donald.

How did I miss this? I love the “Miss America Pageant!” Right now if you are reading this, switch on CMT (140 in NYC) because there is a reality program before the pageant called “Pageant School.” This is kind of awesome yet sad because this pageant used to run on network television. This year, “Miss America” is being broadcast from the ultra-classy Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.

I love that this old school “scholarship competition” has turned into bad reality TV show in sin city.

I can’t wait until the winner gets involved in a scandal. Mario Lopez is the host and you know that he is enjoying his time with these ladies “behind the scenes.”

For more on tonight’s pageant go to the Miss America Website.

Just because these two are having an intimate lunch doesn’t mean that they are doin’ it…
Let’s just say that they are. It is most fun that way.
Scarlett Johansson has been recently linked to Justin Timberlake and Mark Wahlberg has two children with his girlfriend, Rhea Durham.

She’s quite the maneater.

Maybe she just was getting some acting tips from Marky Mark?

Remember “Crazy Mary” from last season of “American Idol?” She told us back then that “she had a lot of voices.” She also was one of the most awkward human beings I have ever seen in my life. After her bizarre audition she had a brief moment of fame (via the entire free world calling her a total nut, but any publicity is good publicity right?) but we haven’t heard of her much since then.

She was off to beauty school back then…or so we thought. Looking at her MySpace page she admits that her AI “performance” was pretty much an act. She is an aspiring comedian who is looking for

“Anyone who wants to make any sort of comedic or dramatic collaboration with me. Anyone who wants to write screenplays and make films. Anyone who wants to assist in the production of a punk rock musical. Anyone who wants to start a band. Anyone who considers themselves to be strange, and is proud of it. Anyone who wants to fuel their creativity in any way that I might be able to help them with, or vice versa.”

Looks like rejection made her a bit dark.

I am sorry that this is more like “Monday Evening Music” except the T is a little under the weather. I would like to introduce you to one of my favorite bands ever. This is Gomez. I found this band my freshman year of college on my friend’s WinAmp. This song “Shot Shot” is quite fun and the video itself is worth checking out. Hope you enjoy this band as much as I do.

Good move, Nationwide Insurance.

The California Highway Patrol has recommended that singer and sitcom star Brandy be prosecuted for a fatal car crash she caused last month. In late December, Brandy was driving on L.A.’s 405 freeway at 65 mph, but she failed to slow down when the car in front of her did. She hit the car, causing a series of accidents that resulted in the death of a 38-year-old married mother of one. There was no evidence of drugs or alcohol involved, and Brandy was not arrested at the scene.

However, today the CHP recommended that Brandy be prosecuted for misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. If convicted, Brandy could potentially face a year in an L.A. county jail and a fine of $1000, which I’m sure is far, far less punishment than living in Brandy’s head is right now.
