Well Yankee Idol started Wednesday. American Idol season 11. BARF!!.. Seriously, tell me if I’m wrong, has this show not completely gone from finding the most talented singer out there to a horribly over marketed circus of annoyance?
–hmm “circus of annoyance”—I’m keeping that as my new term for the show! In one slight silver lining. Ratings of American Idol/The Circus of Annoyance are down big time…like 27 percent down. Maybe a sign people are finally sick of it? We can only hope.
In history this week, Tuesday marked the anniversary the flush toilet being invented back in 1861. –(Reminder: Insert a crappy joke here)-
In positive news. The government has done something right! Canada won’t be letting Lindsay Lohan into the country. Set to come north of the border to film a movie, Lindsay’s past year of crimes & court appearances has finally caught up with her. According to the Canadian government, "If you were convicted of an offense in Canada or outside of Canada that is considered a crime in Canada, you are considered to be criminally inadmissible to Canada." Take that LiHo!!
Elsewhere, in Hollywood news a medical marijuana dispensary has started selling a new type of weed called "OG Blue Ivy." They named the new product after Beyonce & Jay Z’s new daughter. Not to be outdone I hear Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt are happy to hear “Shiloh Black Tar Heroin” is hitting L.A. streets soon.
In music, confirmed this week, rapper LL COOL J will host this year’s Grammys. Running in February he will be the Grammys’ first host in 7 years. Grammy officials are quick to point out though to not call it a comeback, they’ve been here for years. Anybody get that one?*
In the business world this week we caught a sign of our current changing times. Kodak has filed for bankruptcy. One time dominating the photography industry, Kodak admits it has failed to keep up with modern technologies, such as the digital camera. The painful irony is they invented it!…
Boy, what I wouldn’t give for a picture of the Kodak executives faces when they realized they needed to file for bankruptcy. …What, too soon?
And some sad news this week as Dave Evans, the founder of Cracker Barrel has passed away. I hear his wishes are to be cremated, though Dave has asked to be sliced up and placed on Triscuits first!**

--Oh P.S. Tim Horton’s has started rolling out it’s new cup sizes...Not sure about you, but I am always Pro bigger cup sizes... This is for all their hot drinks, coffee, tea,etc.. Basically we are getting a new larger “extra large”, and with that, all the other sizes will bump up one. So, what is a large now is rebranded as a medium. What is now a medium will become the new small size. What is now a....nevermind. If you can’t figure this out you deserve to order the wrong size.
P.S.S-- *incase the LLCoolJ reference didn’t quite click with you… GO HERE
**that joke would have been so good, but, Dave Evans was actually the founder of the Cracker Barrel restaurant chain in the US, not Cracker Barrel, the tasty line of cheeses… Dang, so close!
