    I decided to post up a blog of what I read from the newsletter and what I watched and heard on Showbiz Tonight!! I'm trying to keep up on what's happening in the world of Entertainment and I have to say that some of what A.J. Hammer and Brooke Anderson talked about caught my attention...

    Hey, Brooke Anderson here. Showbiz Tonight is at The Democratic National Convention - and let Brooke tell you that one of the biggest controversies everyone is talking about in Denver is how Madonna is comparing John McCain to Adolf Hitler!

    Brooke knows Madonna likes to push the envelope, but Brooke thinks she went way too far this time. She's got a video she's showing on her tour, which compares McCain to Adolf Hitler. And tonight, there are brand new developments, as McCain and Obama are speaking out. Plus, Brooke justs has to ask: Is this a desperate move by Madonna for attention?

    Boy’s talent earns him pitching ban

    A Little Jet Lagged, But Still Covering The DNC. (Morning Express With Robin Meade)

    Tuesday, August 26, 2008, 11:10 PM EST [General]

    I decided to post up a blog of what I read from the newsletter and what I watched and heard on the news this morning... I have to say some of what Robin Meade talked about caught my attention...

    Hi there!

    Bob and Rafer had a bet going on whether Robin would make it back to
    be on the air this morning.
    Atlanta had some rough weather.
    So chalk up the bags under Robin's eyes to the late flight.
    -----
    New This Morning: GUSTAV IS A HURRICANE.
    It's in the area of Haiti right now. But the concerns are
    whether it becomes a big one and eventually goes into The Gulf
    Of Mexico. Bob's got the outlook on this thing.
    -----
    Did you go to bed too early, to see Senator Ted Kennedy wow
    the crowd at The DNC?

    Tune in for the best clips...
    ***Note: No matter what party or platform you align
    yourself with... you'll likely be moved by the audience's
    reaction to this ailing man who mustered the strength to
    deliver a rousing speech.
    ------
    Grading Michelle Obama's Message.
    Robin will check out the highlights from Senator Obama's Wife, in
    what some analysts said was the most important speech of her
    life.
    *****Robin will also show you how The Obama Daughters stole
    the spotlight at one point, when their dad appeared live via
    satellite.
    -------
    So where is Senator McCain while The DNC is going on?
    He's staying in the spotlight on Leno... Check out the
    good-natured quips about his upcoming birthday.
    --------
    Can you be too good to be in Kids’ Baseball? Robin is
    sorry, but this sounds ridiculous
    : A 9 year old is booted
    from his League in Connecticut because he's too talented?
    Check out the arguments from both sides.
    -----
    Then: An Ohio School tells the cheerleaders their skirts are
    too short.
    Not for the game, just for class...
    More on that controversy.
    -----
    That's just one look at the many things you'll find on the
    show dear. See you then!

    Baby!!

    Tuesday, August 26, 2008, 11:05 PM EST [General]

    Gwen Stefani--pre-Zuma...New mom Gwen Stefani (pictured here incredibly any-minute-now pregnant!) has left the hospital with her second child with rocker husband Gavin Rossdale, baby boy Zuma Nesta Rock. It's good news for that other Gwen... Apple is no longer the world's stupidest celebrity baby name...

    Kid Rock has bucked the current trend of putting his music on iTunes... and the huge success of his hit All Summer Long has forced anyone who wants the song to buy his CD Rock And Roll Jesus at their local music retailer. It's put the album, released almost a year ago, in The Top 10 and pushed it to double platinum status... not to mention really irritating Steve Jobs...

    Pink is singing one thing and saying another, as she claims her new song So What is not a dig at her estranged husband Carey Hart... despite the song's video depicting her taking a chainsaw to a tree engraved with the couple's names on it. Pink claims it's the musical version of "When a kindergartener goes up and punches a girl he likes and runs away" and insists Hart is "My darling" and "It's all good"... and maybe explains why they're estranged...

    Malaysia's Government has apparently done an about-face on their stance opposing Avril Lavigne's concert there this coming Friday Night... officials now say her show in Kuala Lumpur may go on, although the nation's arts and culture ministry will reportedly monitor the concert to "ensure that the performances do not clash with the Malaysian culture and values".  So... how much was the payoff and which official got it?

    Ed McMahon has passed on Donald Trump's offer to buy McMahon's home, which is in danger of foreclosure and then lease it back to McMahon and his wife. Ed will instead sell the home to another party, likely deciding he wanted the Donald as a landlord about as much has he would want Jay Leno as a boss...

    Chris Kattan with Sunshine TuttMango!Former Saturday Night Live Cast Member Chris Kattan has split with his wife, model Sunshine Tutt, after a virtual Hollywood eternity of wedded bliss-8 whole weeks. What do you figure... he did that Mango bit one time too many?

    Michelle Is (Rocky Mountain) High For Her Obama!!

    Tuesday, August 26, 2008, 11:00 PM EST [General]

    Michelle Obama told The Democratic National Convention in Denver Monday Night that "I love this country" and that she Bill ClintonOprah Winfreyand Presidential Nominee Barack Obama share America's basic values and beliefs in a dream of a better future. She did not admit, as some wild claims have suggested, that she is the love child of Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey...

    What's left of Tropical Storm Fay continued to rain down from Georgia to Louisiana, which for some is a welcome relief from months of drought conditions, while Florida residents begin to mop up the over 30 inches of rain that fell along The Central Atlantic Coast. Are we sure NASA hasn't come up with a giant sponge that could collect it from one place and squeeze it out somewhere else?

    Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki insisted Monday that all foreign soldiers must leave the country by a specific date in 2011, and that there would be no legal immunity for American troops. After being briefed on the situation, Vice President Cheney was reportedly muttering something about "regime change" and "where's my rifle?"...

    An Alabama initiative proposal to effectively prohibit gay couples from adopting was cleared by state officials to appear on the state's November general election ballot. The initiative would require only married couples to adopt and the state currently prohibits gay couples to wed... it's that kind of shrewd thinking that has kept values in The Heart Of Dixie just as they have been for years...

    An Air Force Researcher has found that a series of mishaps involving robotic warplanes are occuring because of operator error, due to the drones being controlled by increasingly inexperienced crews. I understand this problem can be quickly remedied, providing enough PS3 and XBox 360 consoles can be acquired quickly enough...

    A Las Vegas Judge has refused to delay the start of the trial of O.J. Simpson and a co-defendant on charges of armed robbery and kidnapping. The Juice actually had nothing to do with the delay request... he's anxious to get started and really hoping he can drive the same level of insane media interest in whether he could possibly be as stupid as it appears that he is...
