DWTS Live!!!

I decided to liveblog the results show of Dancing With The Stars. Mostly because my favorite dancer to ever grace the stage, Sabrina Bryan, was performing in the "Design A Dance" contest. Amazing.

Happy Birthday / Hit It or Quit It: Nick Lachey

Today is the 36th birthday of former boybander / former reality TV star / brother of former Dancing With The Stars all-star Drew Lachey / former celebrity Nick Lachey.

Happy Birthday, Nick! But one question remains... Hit it or quit it?

Side note: the picture above is actually one of my favorite celebrity editorial photos... I just like the vibe.

Contenders for World's Dumbest Criminals

The two idiots pictured above allegedly committed a robbery in some small town in Iowa. But, instead of wearing the go-to ski mask or stocking over their faces, they brilliantly decided to cover their mugs with permanent markers. Needless to say, when they were pulled over, they had guilt written all over their faces.

The Star Spangled Banner, Glee Style

Check out the cast of Glee (featuring the solo stylings of Amber Riley) singing the National Anthem at the 5th game of the World Series late last week.

Pretty awesome. These kids are ridiculously talented.

Halloween Costumes for Gay Kids

I bet my parents wish The Onion had done this investigative journalism when I was a kid! Check out this in-depth look at how to hide your effeminate son's prance, lisp, and girlish looks with a simple and effective Halloween costume!

Pretty hilarious.

How To Find A Masculine Halloween Costume For Your Effeminate Son

Inspired "Cooking"

Food Network's Sandra Lee never ceases to amaze me. I once learned a fun fact that Sandra shoots a season's worth of "Semi-Homemade" in a day or two, and the set (her kitchen) is completely redecorated for each episode. Crazy, right?

Anyhow, Sandra always makes some interesting dishes, provides a cocktail recipe, and creates and incredible tablescape. Here's a clip of a delicious dessert that I can't wait to enjoy: baked potato ice cream.

Via D Listed.

New fun fact, after looking at her Wikipedia: Sandra's last name is Christiansen! I love her even more.

DWTS Michael Jackson Tribute

Since the loss of the King of Pop, there have been quite a few tributes to his music, dance, and overall performance. This is one of my favorites so far.

The best part for me is when all of the pros dance to "Thriller." It's pretty awesome, to say the least.

Trashy Tyra

Tyra Banks never ceases to amaze me... Coming soon: the first LIVE television colonic.

Perez asks, and I'm forced to also ask:

Is this really necessary?

Sick.

Balloon Boy

Occasionally it happens at Bandera: the entire service staff (and some of the kitchen guys) are huddled around the two TVs in the bar area to watch a breaking news story. Usually it's the coverage of our veggie burger (dul) or something Chicago-related, but today it was the story of "Balloon Boy."

A six year old child caught in a helium balloon, flying through the sky with nothing more than the breeze to carry him. Completely frightening, right?

Wrong.

It was all a publicity stunt. And, to be honest, it's ruffled my feathers.

Check out Wolf Blitzer's interview with the family... The kid clearly states that it was "for the show." Unreal.

Don't Judge My Hair

Another great blog out there is Don't Judge My Hair. It's a collection of "epic hairstyles" that really caught my attention the other night.

Here are a few photos to get you motivated!

Hit It Or Quit It / Crush of the Day / Jailbait: Taylor Lautner

Taylor Lautner, one of the many breakout stars from the Twilight movie series, has the body of a God. Seriously. And he's only 17 years old. I'm not sure if it's illegal for me to ask this (I hope it's not), but...

Taylor Lautner: hit it or quit it? All I'm saying is that I haven't seen abs like that in a long time. Sigh.

In addition, Taylor is HANDS DOWN my crush of the day. He's adorable and I can't wait till he's 18 so I can move to Hollywood and become his BFF/BF. :)

Thanks, Perez, for making my jaw drop for a minute and a half when I clicked on your page...

Do you want fries with that?

Spending my summers in Northern Michigan as a child, I came to the realization that one of the reasons for "summering" was to get away from it all. Bellaire, MI, the town closest to Torch Lake, always had a grocery store, two gas stations, a few ice cream shops, half a dozen restaurants, and that's about it. I remember quite clearly the summer that McDonald's opened up on the main street through Bellaire; everyone was immediately against it. "We will never eat there! It's destroying the culture of this little town!" people said. On the other hand, it brought much-needed jobs and some economic stability to the financially uneasy Antrim county. Personally, I've stopped at that McDonald's maybe twice in my life; I try to stay away from fast food in general, and when I'm Up North, it makes more sense to me to try and support the locally-owned businesses.

Anyhow, here's a really cool map of the United States that shows the location of every McDonald's in the country. It's pretty interesting. If you look closely, you can even see the singular dot of the McDonald's in Bellaire!
