What Movie Could You Have Gone Without Watching?

We have all seen movies that were a complete waste of our time or how about the movies that I swear have made us stupider for watching it. Okay this may apply to more of the movies that guys like, so to be fair to the opposite sex - how about the movies that are so sappy and unbelievable, ya right the guy always falls for the ugly duckling with the great personality. So what movie fits in this profile for you? I just have to ask how many times do we really have to watch the Gladiator? Well here are a few movies that make the list for other males and females, maybe yours will be on the list. Check it out.

Gary Coleman Remembered

Gary Coleman has died at the age of 42 on Friday, May 28th. He had a brain hemorrhage on Wednesday and with his family by his side the life support was terminated Friday.

What would you do?

So what would you do if you would go through a drive-thru and was handed a bag, but when you went to get your food from the bag it was $2000 instead? This happened at a Taco Bell in Ohio where on Tuesday a woman was handed a bag that contained the restaurant's bank deposit, $2000. The store's policy is to place the deposit in a Taco Bell bag and hand it to the manager through the drive-thru window, but this time it was handed to the wrong person. The police are still looking for this particular person that received much more than a value meal.
Okay, so there are a few things here - 1st of all I'm thinking the employee that handed the bag to this particular person could be in on this. The employee should know what the manager looks like correct?
Either way what if it was you that was handed the bag - what would you do? Would you take off and never come back or would you bring it back to the store thinking it was a mistake? Email me and let me know.

New Recipe for Heinz Ketchup

What! Heinz ketchup does not need to change, it is perfect the way it is, but because of the high content of salt Heinz has changed the recipe.

Obviously we will get use to it, but maybe you want to stock up before summer with the "old recipe. Read the whole story. What are your thoughts?

Betty White will host Saturday Night Live


Well it is finally here - Betty White is hosting this week's Saturday Night Live with Jay-Z. Betty appearance on SNL is all because of a social networking campaign that NBC could not ignore. At the age of 88, I wonder if Betty is the oldest host that SNL has ever had? Definitely a different look and approach for SNL. Show airs Saturday night on NBC.

Glee


Glee is Fox's newest creation that is taking the world by storm. Since the show airs after American Idol on Tuesdays I have been watching it and have been enjoying the music. I can honestly say that I'm not a die hard fan, but it is a good show. Check out the Total Eclipse of the Heart song that was performed this past week - click here.

If you have never seen the show I will fill you in that each week the cast sings a variety of music, though I have not heard country yet. :) One week the cast did a tribute to Madonna, so Britney Spears' manager, Adam Leber, has started working via twitter to get support for a Britney-themed episode of Glee. Well one of the stars of the show, Matthew Morrison, let "Weekly" magazine now how he feels about it, quote "That's a rumor her manager started. I hope our show doesn't go along that route." And I have to say I could not agree more, but you never know, we will have to wait and see.

American Idol


Well Aaron Kelly is gone even though I think it should have been Casey, but I cannot complain too much because I did not vote. I did really enjoyed the performances this past week even though many people did not except I think most would agree with me that Casey's performance was probably the worst.

Anyway we must move on to this week and the four remaining contestants that will be singing movie themes with the help of Jamie Foxx. I'm looking forward to another great week of Idol.
Oh and did you hear that Bon Jovi and Daughtry are set to perform on Wednesday's Idol? Two good nights of Idol, the dishes and the clothes can wait until Thursday night. Read more on Idol by clicking here.
