  • Verne Troyer, better known as "Mini-Me" is suing a web site for posting a video of him having sex with a model.
  • Today is the strike deadline for the Screen Actors Guild. Could make new shows this fall a little tricky.
  • Hey girls, he's available! Bill Murray's divorce has been finalized.
  • But take Uma Thurman off the market. She got engaged last week to a financier you've never heard of.
  • Jay Leno performed in Las Vegas over the weekend, raising money for Midwest flood victims.
  • The San Diego restaurant made famous by Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis in "Top Gun" has burned down in a fire.
  • Luke Perry has said "no thanks" to having anything to do with the "90210" spinoff series.

6 secret guy turn-ons (from Stuff magazine).

  1. He loves that you indulge at dinnertime. Guys love girls who love to eat -- not girls who say they aren't hungry and then pick at their date's food all night.
  2. He loves your occasional obscenities. You may worry that it's not ladylike, but occasionally letting a curse escape your lips at an unexpected moment can be a major turn-on.
  3. He loves that you aren't a neat freak. Believe it or not, guys find the proliferation of hair products, accessories and unidentified stuff strewn about your apartment oddly sexy.
  4. He loves your extra padding. Sure, you've heard that men love women with curves, but how about those extra pounds you've been trying to sweat off at the gym? There's a good chance that your guy loves them, too.
  5. He's fascinated by your knowledge of medieval tapestries. Or whatever it is that gets you all hot and bothered -- whether or not he shares the same interests.
  6. He loves a good head rub from you. Don't get me started!

BODY LANGUAGE

From Cosmopolitan, ladies... important guy stuff you should know. Your guy's body language and what it's "screaming" to you:

  • He has a confession to make -- he'll lean forward, slump his shoulders, and look just above your head.
  • He's insecure -- he'll sit on his hands.
  • He's pissed -- clenched fists, averted eyes, and a tense jaw.
  • He's seriously stressed out -- he can't stop touching or running his fingers through his hair.
  • He's lying -- he'll cover his mouth with his hand or scratch his nose or ears.
  • He's over you -- his eyes are frequently darting off to the sides, and his body is turned away from you

Jeff Dunham and Walter on Marriage

Decide To Be Married Day

Getting married is very much like going to a restaurant with friends. You order what you want, and then when you see what the other fellow has, you wish you had ordered that.

  • Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering.
  • Marriage is not a word; it is a sentence.
  • Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
  • Marriage is when a man and woman become as one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.
  • Marriages are made in heaven. But so again, are thunder and lightning.
  • Before marriage, a man yearns for the woman he loves. After marriage, the 'Y' becomes silent.
  • Do not marry a person that you know that you can live with; only marry someone that you cannot live without.
  • Man is incomplete until he is married. Then he is really finished. Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his bachelor's degree and the woman gets h er master's.
  • Then there was a man who said, "I never knew what real happiness was until I got married; and then it was too late.
  • When a newly married man looks happy we know why. But when a ten-year married man looks happy - we wonder why.
  • Married life is very frustrating. In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen.
  • It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job, he still ends up with the same boss.
  • A man inserted an 'ad' in the classified: "Wife wanted." Next day he received a hundred letters. They all said the same thing: "You can have mine."
  • When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: either the car is new or the wife.

Have you ever fallen a sleep at work?

If you said yes, you are not alone!

One-third of workers say they have become very sleepy at work or actually fallen asleep on the job in the past 30 days, according to the National Sleep Foundation's annual "Sleep in America" poll. The problem is so rampant that some companies have given in and now offer employees a nap room. Why? We need at least seven to nine hours of sleep a night for optimal health. And we're not getting even close to that. On average, we sleep six hours and 40 minutes a night and work nine hours and 28 minutes a day. The Sleep Foundation estimates that tired workers cost companies $100 million annually in lost productivity, increased health care costs and absenteeism.

Tim McGraw came to the rescue of a fan during his concert on Tuesday (June 24th) in Auburn, Washington.

McGraw reached into the crowd and literally pulled the heavy-set offender up onto the stage with some help from his nearby crew.

EATING HABITS TELL YOUR PERSONALITY

  • Meat & Potatoes Eaters -- 25% of American households make these their main meal. These people are solid citizens - conservative, resistant to change and devoted to keeping faith with traditional values. They ate what their parents ate. Their attitude is - What was good enough for my folks is good enough for me.
  • Junk Food Eaters -- 22% of Americans exist basically on fast foods, pizza soda and the like. They eat as if they were still teenagers. They rarely sit down to a formal four-course meal, but snack their way through life. This is a family oriented group. Their lives center on their children. When they eat out, it's at fast-food drive-ins and they vacation a Disney-like theme parks.
  • Diet-Concerned Eaters -- Some 20% Americans fall into this. They count calories and foods high in cholesterol, sugar, fat, and salt. These people who tend to be older than those in those other groups. Have their eyes on the future and are intent on maintaining their health. The group is frugal and strong-willed and willing to give up pleasures for long-term security. They pride themselves on their ability to save a buck and make do with last year's clothes, an older car, etc.

They are good to go out dining with because they know their restaurants.

FIVE THINGS TO NEVER WEAR ON A PLANE

What you wear when you travel via air can be critical for keeping you comfortable and even safe in case of an emergency. If you want to be comfortable and safe while flying, don't wear these five things, according to Christopher Elliott of Tribune Media Services:

1. Heavy perfume or cologne -- These scents may be your olfactory signature, but try to refrain before you board a plane. Perfume and cologne can permeate the interior of an aircraft, overwhelming and even sickening your fellow passengers.
2. High heels -- Not only are high heels, especially stilettos, uncomfortable and restrictive on long flights, but also they can be a danger should you be forced to evacuate the aircraft using the inflatable emergency slides.
3. Shorts -- No matter how warm it is in your departure city or your destination, it's cold on planes--even in the summer. Wear shorts, and you're sure to regret it.
4. Light colors -- Dark-colored clothes travel better for several reasons. If you spill something, the stain is less likely to be noticeable. You especially will appreciate this if your luggage is lost or delayed, forcing you to wear your travel clothes for a second day. Also, avoid synthetic fabrics because they can be hot and sticky. Instead, choose clothing made of natural fibers, such as cotton in the summer and wool in the winter.
5. Tight-fitting clothes -- Pants, tops, dresses or skirts that are too form-fitting may be sexy attire, but they aren't the best travel attire. Not only are tight-fitting clothes uncomfortable on long flights, but also they can be dangerous by escalating deep vein thrombosis. Choose loose-fitting, non-binding clothes.

World's Ugliest Dog

A small dog named Gus in California has won bragging rights to a most unfortunate title -- "World's Ugliest Dog!" Poor Gus is a three-legged, one-eyed, hairless pedigree Chinese crested dog and his owner, Jeanenne Teed, travelled all the way across the country from Florida to compete in the competition. She says she'll spend the $1,000 prize money on treatment for Gus's skin cancer. She entered Gus in the contest to raise awareness and hope for people whose pets have cancer. Apparently the Chinese crested breed is often the stand-out in the competition as last year's winner, Elwood, was a Chinese crested and Chihuahua mix. Now that's got to be some ugly dog! Don't forget to check out the front page of the MOHAVE VALLEY DAILY NEWS for pictures of sweet animals at BHC shelter living on borrowed time.

Do you need some extra cash?

Do you have any ideas on how to make some extra money? We have a few? We got these from WalletPop.com.

  • Take a Part-Time Job - With most part-time jobs, it's probably going to be two weeks, at best, before you receive that first paycheck. When you need cash sooner than that, look for jobs that offer immediate money in your pocket, like one that includes tips. Bartending and waiting tables are two tried-and-true examples.
  • Seek Emergency Assistance - Many charities provide services and items that you would otherwise spend money on, freeing up some dollars to apply to your most pressing needs. Among the most common of these are food banks and open-dining opportunities, help or waiver of utility costs, and clothing and other household essentials.
  • Make Stuff to Sell - Think of the proverbial lemonade stand, but all grown up. When one WalletPop blogger is entirely broke, she'll get out her sewing machine and make her favorite quick project: stuffed geese (made out of thrifted fabric). They sell like crazy on Etsy, an online shop devoted to crafty vendors, and is her go-to plan when the well runs dry and she needs to bring in some quick cash.
  • Rent Out Your 'Spot' - If you own some prime parking real estate, you could put cash in your pocket and get more exercise by renting out your spot and parking further away. If access to your car is less convenient, perhaps you'll even drive less, saving money on gas, too.
  • Sell Stuff on Craigslist - A good alternative to the yard sale is to make use of Craigslist, a great internet site for buying and selling almost anything legal -- furniture, bicycles, musical equipment, housewares, art, and whatever. Over 40 million people use it every month. It's free and localized, so there is typically no shipping involved.
  • Do Odd Jobs - Babysitters earn upwards of $10 an hour these days. Offer to sit for friends' kids on Friday or Saturday night. The parents will be only too happy to hand you cash when they return! One complaint of young males is that nobody is likely to hire them to watch their kids. An alternative is to offer to wash cars, mow lawns, weed backyards or haul crap out of the garage, instead.
  • Find an Online Gig - One valid work-at-home program is Amazon Mechanical Turk, where companies post tasks that machines cannot easily do, but that are relatively simple for humans. You choose an assignment, and, on completion, are credited with payment to your Amazon account. This money can be withdrawn once you accumulate $10.

If stay at home moms were paid in cold, hard cash:

They'd earn $117,000 a year. Researchers at Salary.com calculated the figure after evaluating a typical mom's duties as housekeeper, teacher, van driver, psychologist, chef, interior decorator and accountant. The 18,000 women surveyed agree the six-figure salary is right on the money. The study also revealed these women worked an average of 94 hours a week that's 54 hours of overtime. (Sun)

It's still Wedding Month

The average cost of a wedding today is $30,000, says Katherine Jellison, author of "It's Our Day - America's Love Affair With The White Wedding." So while the economy continues to sag, the $50 billion wedding industry continues to boom, as lavish engagement parties and elaborate weddings are all the rage.

  • Keira Knightley was not nervous about going topless in her new film, "The Edge of Love." She was, however, nervous about singing. She does both.
  • A Self magazine online survey found 26% of us exaggerate how much sex we're having.
  • A new Oscar rule limits song nominations to only two per film.
  • 25 celebrities will get their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this week, including Hugh Jackman, Ben Kingsley, Tinkerbell, Felicity Huffman, William H. Macy, Cameron Diaz, Robert Downey Jr., Tim Burton, Kyra Sedgwick, John Stamos, The Miracles and Shakira.
  • Cosmopolitan says talking in a deeper tone around a guy is a subconscious sign that he makes you super HOT.
  • Tim Russert's wife says that when Tim was leaving the hotel room to fly back to the states for "Meet the Press," she had a feeling and grabbed him. "I said to him, 'I want to give you a hug; maybe I'll never see you again.'
  • Yes, low fat ice cream sounds healthier, but some have more calories than regular ice cream.

Vitamins are good for us, right?

Yes. And no. Generally speaking, vitamins make us stronger and keep us healthier. They help us to live longer. Some, such as vitamin D, can actually help prevent heart disease and some types of cancer. But when it comes to four specific vitamins -- vitamin E, beta-carotene, vitamin C and vitamin A -- any dose at all may be ill-advised, according to "The Early Show Saturday" medical contributor Dr. Mallika Marshall.

  • Vitamin E -- This antioxidant is supposed to help fight cancer and heart disease and possibly prevent Alzheimer's disease, but recent medical studies show that in large doses, vitamin E can raise the risk of death--not prevent it. Marshall says no one should take vitamin E supplements for disease prevention.
  • Beta-Carotene -- Once it was popularly thought that beta-carotene helped prevent disease, but it now appears it does just the opposite and actually increases the risk of heart disease and cancer.
  • Vitamin C -- Mom always said vitamin C would fight off colds, but it turns out she was wrong. Not only doesn't it do anything to battle that cold, but also vitamin C in large doses can cause diarrhea and kidney stones, as well as nausea and stomach cramps. It can even interfere with anti-clotting medications.
  • Vitamin A -- Long thought to improve vision, give us healthy skin, aid in bone growth and fight infection, vitamin A can actually cause liver damage, blindness and bone fractures when taken in high doses. Vitamin A toxicity can occur from animal foods, fortified foods and/or supplements. Symptoms include loss of hair, headaches, dry skin, vomiting, loss of mineral density in bones and liver damage. It can also cause birth defects when pregnant women take it in high doses.

TELL YOUR BOSS WORKING OVERTIME IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH

If you're working lots of overtime, you might want to rethink that, especially if you find you're generally unhappy with life. Men and women who regularly work more than 40 hours a week have a high risk for developing anxiety and depression, according to a new study published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. The rates were also higher among less-skilled workers and those with lower incomes. Specifically, the Norwegian study found that men who worked 40 hours a week or less had a 9% possible depression score.

Saved By the Bra

24-year-old Jessica Brown, an American hiker, had been given up for dead by mountain rescuers in the Austrian Alps, but was saved when she threw her bra into a passing cable car. Jessica had fallen off a ledge and was injured and stranded for 70 hours in freezing temperatures. Mountain rescue teams had been looking in the wrong place and ultimately concluded she had fallen to her death. But when Jessica spotted a cable car on its way up the mountain in Salzburg she quickly flung her bra into a container carrying food as it passed her. Workers higher up the peak realized the undies must have been thrown as a "send help" message and dispatched a search party. Jessica is now recovering in hospital. And she needs a new bra. (Ananova)

COMEDY LEGEND GEORGE CARLIN DIES AT 71

Stand-up comedy icon George Carlin, who became a symbol of the counter-culture with routines like "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television," died Sunday (June 22) of heart failure at a Los Angeles area hospital, Reuters reports. He was 71. Carlin, who had a history of heart problems, had been admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains.

Although he started as a traditional stand-up comedian in the 1960s, Carlin eventually turned his fertile mind and keen skills of observation toward more edgy, provocative material in the manner of predecessor Lenny Bruce and contemporary Richard Pryor. His comedy routines in the 1970s were filled with drug references and anti-establishment philosophy. The "Seven Words" controversy went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled the words cited in the routine were indecent, and federal regulators could ban them from times when children might be listening. But Carlin could also spin imaginative G-rated narratives, such as his classic contrasting of baseball and football.

George, you will be missed!!

Where's the furthest you've gone on a road trip?

On May 4th Joey, Josh and Adam, three guys in their 20's, took on a wild venture: to go on one road trip and hit all 48 contiguous states and never stop (except for gas). Josh's father was the original planner who mapped the trip and was going to take the challenge himself several years ago. The trip never happened due to the death of his mother shorty before the journey was supposed to begin. And so the baton, or map rather, was passed on to Josh and his two buddies. The world traveled with them on their blog. The trip began in Boston and ended at the Four Corners (Brilliant!). To make a very long story short here is what these three guys accomplished in FOUR DAYS:
• 7,008 Miles
• Exact time: 106 Hours and 43 Minutes
• Saw 90 cops
• And never got pulled over (Wow!)
