Final Results of the Mark Cuban Poll

By an overwhelming margin, most of you felt that Mark Cuban was right to post the hate emails he received (including the names and email addresses of the senders). As with many topics, there is no real right or wrong answer. However, as Mark Cuban said, hopefully something good came from the emails being posted.Here are the final results:Right- 75%Wrong 25%

Paul Newman 1925-2008

On Saturday morning I learned that one of my favorite actors, Academy Award winner Paul Newman, died on Friday at the age of 83 after a battle with cancer. Even though I knew through news reports about a month ago that it was unlikely that Paul would live to see 2009, his death still hit me. One of the things I liked about Paul's screen persona is that he had a nice balance of easygoing charm

Please Take A Moment To Vote In the Current Mark Cuban Poll... Thank You

As some of you may know, last week a huge controversy erupted surrounding Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Howard. Back in July, he played in fellow NBA star Allen Iverson's charity flag football game. During the National Anthem Howard said, "The Star-Spangled Banner is going on. I don’t even celebrate that shit. I’m black." He then went on to make a comment referencing Barack Obama followed by

Retro Commercial: Blip

Do the weirdest things from years ago ever pop into your mind for no reason? That's what happened to me when I was fixing a turkey burger sandwich yesterday evening. While getting all my condiments (Miracle Whip, lettuce, and tomatoes) lined up as my turkey burger was being heated, I started to think about the portable electronic game from the late 1970s called Blip. Very similar to the even more

Thursday Thirteen #59: One Hit Wonders

Thirteen of My FavoriteSince Sept. 25th is National One Hit Wonder Day, I decided to list a baker's dozen of my favorites. As for what constitutes a one-hit wonder, you can ask three people and get three different answers (for the various definitions, you can click here). For my list, I chose to focus on artists who had only one Top 40 hit on the Billboard Pop Singles chart. Following the

Dancing With the Stars: Night 2 Recap

Tuesday was night #2 of season 7 of Dancing With the Stars. Here's a brief rundown:The Susan Lucci I saw last night was the one I was expecting to see from the get go. On the first night, "The Looch" was borderline robotic in her effort to be flawless. The second night saw her loosen up a lot and have fun.I missed his performance on Monday night but from the sounds of judges, celebrity chef

Dancing With the Stars: Night 1 Recap

Last night was the season premiere of Dancing with the Stars 7. Since I missed the first half hour or so, I didn't catch a few of the performances by celebrities such as Toni Braxton and Cody Linley. However, I was able to make a few observations from night 1:Brooke Burke has an amazing body for a woman who's had 4 kids. Although there is video evidence that suggests she had one, I didn't

The 2008 Emmy Awards

Because I was watching the Dallas Cowboys put it to the Green Bay Packers, I only caught portions of last night's Emmy telecast. From the reviews I read, it sounds like I did the right thing by not devoting the whole night to the Emmys. Luckily, I did catch a couple of moments that were memorable. They did a 40th anniversary tribute to "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In" and even had 4 of the original

Final Results of the Recent Billboard Top 100 Hits Poll

Proving that there is still a lot of love for the golden oldies, Chubby Checker's 1960 release The Twist emerged as the favorite among the Top 5 songs on Billboard's recent chart of their Top 100 songs from the first 50 years. Coming in 2nd place is 1959's Mack the Knife by Bobby Darin.Just to reiterate, the list compiled by Billboard of the Hot 100's top 100 songs from the chart's first 50

Please Take A Moment To Vote In the Current Billboard Hot 100 Poll, Thank You

Last week, Billboard magazine published the list of the Hot 100's top 100 songs from the chart's first 50 years, August 1958 through July 2008. As many of you know, the list is based purely on chart performance and has nothing to do with the creative merits of a song (after all, "You Light Up My Life" by one of Pat's daughters came in at #7). This means that there are scores of artists who are

Breast Cancer Awareness

Numbness turned to inaction turned to decision. I got an email from someone I went to Uni with. Our professor was diagnosed with breast cancer. She taught two classes included our Masters Thesis class. Turns out, this is her third bout with cancer. There is talk in the wind of a mastectomy or possibly a double mastectomy later this month. When I first got the email, I blocked it out for.... I

Retro PSA: Holy Bra Burning Batman!!

Watching the movie Batman Begins last night had me thinking about the campy 1960s TV version that had me glued to the set as a kid during the 1970s. Back then, I took the good guy's strait-laced earnestness and William Dozier's overdramatic narration so seriously. When I watched the series as an adult, I found it to be one of the funniest shows on TV.My memories of the series led me to pay a

2 Weeks of "Processing"

I'm frustrated.No, I'm more than that. But we'll leave it at that.I realize that adopting costs a lot of money. I'm mentally prepared for $20K a kid (or more). That number is so huge I just let it go over me.It's the little things that really get to me. Like the $20 check that I just wrote for the California Secretary of State so they will stamp my marriage license... again. Also, since we want

Final Results of the Recent DWTS Poll

With just over 1/3 of the vote, former NSYNC member Lance Bass was chosen as the celeb most likely to win it all in the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars. It looks like a little Olympian goodwill goes a long way as volleyball gold medalist Misty May Treanor came in 2nd place with 16%. At least one voter wanted to see 3rd place finisher Toni Braxton walk away with the title or at least
