Courtney Love will guest on Idol, could “replace Paula,” source tells tabloid
The former Hole lead singer, who has previously admitted to having a drug problem, tells the magazine that she has, in fact, been approached by the executive producer, Nigel Lythgoe. “He called. He was wondering if I was interested. I thought it was kind of weird but brilliant,” she says.
However, she doesn’t say specifically what they wanted her to actually do. Instead, Us cites “a source” and reports “that Lythgoe was considering having Love ‘replace Paula.’”
As bizarre as Paula’s behavior has been, that’s highly unlikely, especially because her behavior does nothing except increase the ratings. However, having Courtney Love serve as a guest judge for an episode—which is far, far more likely—would probably make Paula Abdul seem, comparatively speaking, completely normal.
Oh the possibilities.....

ECW's Future In Jeopardy
McMahon was particularly upset with the main event and how bad it made Lashley look.
Vince is said to be mad all the time since that taping. Stephanie, Vince and Dave Lagana had a meeting about the future of ECW with Vince strongly hinting that ECW was on it’s last legs.
Now, as with anything written on the internet, this can be taken with a grain of salt but it seems the ECW project has been doomed for failure right from the first episode. I have tried to enjoy it as much as possible but it never really felt like it had a long term future.

My Experience of the Laundry Mat…
By Karla B.
So last night I decided that I better go to the laundry mat to wash my clothes instead of it taking me all night to do at the apartment. Things were all going fine and dandy until I put my clothes into the dryer and some old man decided to start talking to me. I just thought he would like talk for maybe 5 minutes or so but no….For forty minutes I heard all about the Lord Jesus Christ!
This man went on and on reciting the Gospel word for word back to me, even stating the Chapter and Verse from the Bible. I couldn’t believe it. I figured he’d give it up after a couple minutes noticing I wasn’t really paying attention to him but no; he went on and on and on. He then asked me if I was a Christian and I said yes but I don’t go to church often. Once he heard that he asked me if I was able to say the name “Lord Jesus Christ”. So I said it and he then figured I needed to pray with him. He tried and tried to get me to repeat after him “Lord Jesus Christ, I repent my sins…” I looked at him and thought to myself this dude is crazy…But I politely said “Yes I believe in God but right now I do not need to pray.” He sat silent for a few moments and I thought I just may get lucky and he would leave me alone. Boy was I wrong…All over again he started reciting more words from the Bible. One after another remembering to include the Chapter and the Verse, I was simply amazed…How could he remember all of this, myself I have never even read the Bible. I know a few things but to be able to recite word for word I’ve never seen before except from our Pastor.
After he was done reciting verses he then went on to tell me how he had never heard the Gospel till the age of thirty-eight; Stating that it changed his life forever. He will now be going to Heaven and hoping that just by spreading the word of God that he will not be going alone. I got to hear about when he was younger being a biker and wanting to ride for the Hells Angels which he now realizes was only going to send him to Hell.
Another part of his rambling on was that Jesus can do anything and everything. When you need him you just call his name. I got to heard all about his “near” death experiences and how just simply saying “Lord Jesus Help Me” things instantly changed. Which I do not believe but that is me…
He then began to ask me if I do drugs…or if I drink…or if I go to bars…Is that really any of him business; I don’t really thing so…But I said no to all three hoping that he would be satisfied…boy was I wrong again! I then got to hear all about different people getting killed at clubs and young people murdered at parties. He also told me that drugs, alcohol and partying is a straight road to hell and there is no way to be freed unless you repent your sins to Jesus himself.
Finally the dryer stopped…I thought to myself “I am free!” I can fold my laundry and get out of here. Was I wrong again…Even while I was folding my laundry I got to hear more stories of Jesus and how he changes the world…I heard that if you show compassion he will show compassion. He also told me that all we need in life is the faith to believe in “Our Lord Jesus” and that if we repent our sins all of our sins will be forgiven.
So it’s now forty minutes later and I have my laundry folded and put in the bag, I am trying to leave but the dude will not stop talking. So I finally said “Have a good night and take care” All the way out the door he repeated “May God Bless You”…”When you need him just call his name”… “repent your sins and your sins will be forgiven” oh and I can’t forget I got a couple more verses from the Gospel…and out the door I went and the forty minutes of Hell was now over…
As I drove home I was in pure amazement…Never expected that to happen when it started out as a nice quiet night at the laundry mat…I will remember next time not to go alone…
Kurt Angle Interview
- He makes more money with TNA than WWE. - Dixie Carter is a better business person than Vince McMahon could ever be. - TNA had their highest rating ever last week and that their ratings are better than Smackdown and ECW. - Hopes to have Big Show and Hogan in TNA and said Big Show was the hardest worker in WWE and Vince did not appreciate him. - Nash cannot wrestle for a year and he would like to have him wrestle when he is ready. - There are rumors about Jericho coming in. - He talked to a doctor about Vince and Vince "looks like a heart-attack waiting to happen". - WWE got their business deal with China because of him.

He claimed that McMahon lied when he said Angle was his top choice to switch brands. He then admitted that Michaels was the one that said he would put over Angle at WM. This was right after he said Michaels did not put people over. - RVD admitted to Angle that he had no idea how to work and that he only hits highspots and points to himself and says "RVD". - He wants Bubba as a manager in TNA. - He wants Tito Ortiz on the phone next week live on Bubba's show to talk to him about fighting.

Foie gras can be sold whole, or prepared into pâté, mousse, or parfait, and is typically served as an accompaniment to another comestible, such as toast points or steak.
Roth to reunite with Van Halen
The reunited group will feature Eddie Van Halen's son Wolfgang on bass, replacing original bassist Michael Anthony, plus drummer Alex Van Halen.
Speaking last May, when asked about a reunion Roth said: "I see it absolutely as an inevitability. To me, it's not rocket surgery. It's very simple to put together. And as far as hurt feelings and water under the dam, like what's-her-name says to what's-her-name at the end of the movie 'Chicago'- 'So what? It's showbiz!' So I definitely see it happening.
"The band last toured in 2004 with Sammy Hagar as frontman. However, Hagar refused to collaborate with Eddie Van Halen and Alex Van Halen after the tour's completion. He told Billboard: "I don't get along with Eddie anymore, and that's all there is to it."
Dates have yet to be confirmed.

Awesome News
FOX moves up Hell’s Kitchen 3’s debut to March, airing on Thursdays
The show will debut this March, The Futon Critic reports, and “will take over for the departing ‘The O.C.’”
Perhaps more surprising is that FOX plans to air the show on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET. There, it will air opposite Grey’s Anatomy, CSI, and 30 Rock.
The show cast for chefs last fall. Production, according to the application, could take as much as six weeks, but there’s no word yet on when filming will start, or if it already has begun.
If you've never seen Hell's Kitchen before, definitly check it out. It's one of the most underrated reality shows out there. Gordon Ramsey has a very weird charisma and when he flips out, it's great TV.

Sirius, XM Can't Merge: FCC Chief
1/17/2007 3:17 PM EST
Shares of Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI) and rival XM (XMSR) tumbled Wednesday after the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission said agency rules wouldn't allow the two to merge.
A potential merger of the companies has been the subject of repeated speculation in recent months, but Bloomberg quoted FCC Chairman Kevin Martin as saying that existing regulations prohibit a single owner for the two satellite-ratio operators.
Martin made the comments following an FCC meeting. Sirius was dropping 5.5% to $3.92. XM was slumping 7.6% to $15.83.
Good... Fuck XM. We will ground them into dust.

'Grey's' Heigl 'not OK' with Washington's remarks
During an interview in the press room after the show's best-drama win, Washington denied his involvement in a heated on-set incident in October during which he allegedly used a homophobic slur.
"No, I did not call (co-star) T.R. (Knight) a faggot," Washington said. "Never happened, never happened."
Rather than soothing the situation, his comments left Heigl seething.
"I'm going to be really honest right now, he needs to just not speak in public. Period," Heigl told "Access Hollywood" at a Golden Globe after-party. "I'm sorry, that did not need to be said. I'm not OK with it."
She called the comments "hurtful," characterizing the incident as one that should be handled privately among the show's cast and crew.
"I don't think (Washington) means it the way he comes off," Heigl said. "But T.R. is my best friend. ... I will use every ounce of energy I have to take you down if you hurt his feelings."
Knight, who said soon after the October fracas that he is gay, appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Tuesday to discuss the original incident and Washington's recent comments.
"He referred to me as a faggot. Everyone heard it," Knight said of the October squabble.
Comments from Heigl and Washington were set to air Tuesday on "Access Hollywood." A call placed after hours Tuesday to Washington's representative was not returned.
Ok Chantal (or Nadine), I need some clarification. Who is Washington and who is Knight?

Mess with Test and you will fall like the rest. At least that seemed to be the message the powerful Superstar was trying to deliver to RVD and ECW Champion Lashley when he laid them out with a steel chair during their ECW World Title match.
Test seemed furious at being overlooked as the deserving contender in his quest for the ECW World Title. The referee ended the main event following Test’s interference, which allowed Lashley to retain his spot as the ruler of the house of hardcore.
WWE.com has learned that on Tuesday night, the ECW on Sci Fi main event will be a Triple Threat Match pitting Test, RVD and Lashley against each other for the ECW World Title. Will Test’s ruthless aggression lead him to victory? Will RVD’s death-defying maneuvers land him on top? Or will the awesome power of Bobby Lashley help keep the former Armed Forces Champion wearing the coveted ECW title?

Oilers-Flames Preview
The provincial rivals are separated by just four points in the tightly packed Northwest Division, with Calgary holding the lead and Edmonton in fourth place. But the Flames (23-15-4) have been playing some of their best hockey of the season and enter this game having won four in a row and six of their last seven, including a 4-2 victory over the Oilers (21-19-4) on Dec. 31 at the Saddledome.
The Flames are coming off perhaps their best road game of the season, a 7-3 rout of the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday. Daymond Langkow had two goals and an assist in a four-goal second period for Calgary, which has outscored opponents 31-18 in the last seven games, a figure made more impressive with leading scorer Jarome Iginla missing the last three due to a sprained knee ligament.
The Oilers failed to register a point for the first time in six games on Friday, losing 4-2 at home to the Minnesota Wild. While Shawn Horcoff and Petr Sykora scored second-period goals, Edmonton coach Craig MacTavish lamented the fact his team let two points slip away.

The Office
It's the perfect group of actors all meshed together.... Every single person they cast was bang on for the part they were cast for, and the writers as well. I hope it's around for a long time, I don't see the quality flagging any time soon.
I also love that there is no laugh track (I know it doesn't make sense to have one as it's supposed to be a documentry, but I still like it.)
And Jim is just so darn cute!
If you want a recap of last nights episode, check out Chantals blog... I'm sure she'll have one up sometime today :-).
Flames 7, Avalanche 3
Then again, so did the Avalanche.
Calgary gave up three power-play goals but scored two short-handed goals as the Flames had a season-high offensive output in a 7-3 win over Colorado on Thursday night.
Daymond Langkow had two goals and two assists as the Flames won their fourth game in a row.
"I can't remember a game like that," said Langkow, who tied a career high with four points. "Those short-handed goals made it a weird game."
Calgary's scoring spree also ended the night of Colorado goalie Peter Budaj early. The Avalanche pulled Budaj at the 12:05 mark of the second period after he gave up his fifth goal of the game on 17 shots.
Jose Theodore, who was booed as he skated on, gave up two goals on nine shots. Theodore hasn't played since being pulled on Dec. 27 against Dallas after giving up five goals.
"I don't think, starting with me, we competed as well," said Budaj, who was coming off a career-high 40 saves against Detroit on Tuesday before his meltdown.
The Flames broke the game open with three unanswered goals to begin the second period, including two by Langkow - his 17th and 18th goals of the season - within 1:51 of each other. The team scored a season-high four goals for a period in the second.
"The second period, that was the game there," Avs coach Joel Quenneville said. "Giving up the second short-handed goal was killer. You're not going to win giving up two short-handed goals; I don't care what happens. We gave up more odd-man breaks in the second period than we did in the last month. Our coverage was terrible."
Alex Tanguay, who was making his first appearance in the Pepsi Center against his old team, had two assists. He said there was no added pressure to perform, even with the crowd occasionally booing him.
"I was just trying to focus on the game," he said. "We won and that was what we wanted to do. The personal stuff for me I can't worry about too much."
Calgary's leading scorer Jarome Iginla missed his third game since spraining a ligament in his left knee against Florida on Jan. 4, but there was plenty of offense in his absence. Tony Amonte added a goal, Rhett Warrener had two assists and Kristian Huselius scored two goals and added an assist.
"Since Jarome's been out, I think guys realize that we need to pick it up," Langkow said. "Everybody did an incredible job."
Lost in all the offense was the play of goalie Miikka Kiprusoff, who finished with 27 saves. He's now 5-1 over his last six starts.
"I thought Miikka did a real good job of getting in front of them," Calgary coach Jim Playfair said.
Yet he wasn't totally satisfied with his team's play.
"I can see a lot of room for improvement for us," Playfair said.
Joe Sakic had three assists for the Avalanche and Paul Stastny and Marek Svatos scored power-play goals for Colorado in the first period. Andrew Brunette added another in the second period.
What the Avalanche will remember from this loss, though, is their power-play woes. It's the first time they've given up two short-handed goals since Oct. 18, 2003, at Edmonton.
"It's a disappointing loss," Sakic said. "It's unacceptable how we played."

Wacky Websites
To test the limits of the post office, the mischief makers threw all sorts of unboxed objects (with mailing labels and stamps directly attached) in the mail to see if they would reach their destinations. Among the items: a pane of glass sandwiched between a screen and a piece of plastic (delicately hand delivered by the postman) and a life-sized cast of a human head. Neither rain nor snow nor dark of night prevented the USPS from delivering even the wackiest of parcels.

January 10th:
What we've all been waiting for-a forum to post pictures of your cat with stuff on her. From artfully posed catsholding beer bottles, seemingly passed out after a night of boozing, to winners of the "how much can I pile on my cat before he wakes up?" contest.
