This top 10 alone is hilarious. Here are my comments...
* Death Cab For Cutie, Frank Sinatra, and Jason Mraz in the top 3? Who'd have ever thought they'd see the day THAT would happen? Certainly not me my friends. (And I am a fan of the artists.)
* Yes, we know you are thrilled you are above Madonna, Miss Mimi, but wipe that smile off your face, because you are still below your British wannabe, Leona Lewis.
* Did I mention the fact that Neil Diamond and Frank Sinatra are both in the top 10?!??!?!
* With the exception of Lyfe Jennings, numbers 15 through 20 read like the playlist for an elevator. Clay Aiken, Josh Groban, Jack Johnson... Jack's great but when you put all of those artists together, it's like the lineup of NapStock 2008.
My Comment On Ashlee Simpson's Wedding
*crickets chirping*
Yep, that's pretty much how I feel about that.

Gossip Girl Spoilers
So Monday's the last episode before the season finale (airing May 19th), and I must, I am intrigued. That last episode was CRAY-ZEEEEEE. Yes, the Serena killing someone thing is a bit too dramatic for such a young show BUT you must accept the possibility that (spoiler alert: just highlight the following text with your cursor if you wish to read) 1) Georgina drugged Serena and only made her believe that she killed someone, 2) she didn't "kill" anyone per se but instead just left them to die after they overdosed while having sex, or 3) killed them in self-defense after they raped her or videotaped her without her consent (spoiler ends here).
Either way, Monday's episode (entitled "Woman on the Verge") is bound to be interesting. I like the twist which shows Serena reverting back to her old bad-girl ways once the weight of her guilt hits her like a ton of bricks. I also like how Dan stands up to her, and the hint that Dan and Georgina are going to get together (although that would never last considering SOMEONE has to find out the Georgina/Sarah connection soon enough).
In case you didn't see the preview which shows all of the above (or if you just want to watch it again):
Additional spoilers (again, just highlight the text below with your cursor if you wish to read):
Blair and Chuck aren't over. In fact, Blair wakes up in bed with him in one of the next episodes BUT supposedly they did not have sex again... yet. Apparently Blair seems bothered by the whole mess, which is why they look like they are arguing at Lily's wedding (which occurs in the season finale):
And finally, here are the online descriptions of the final two episodes...
Gossip Girl 1.17 “Woman on the Verge”
Air Date: May 12, 2008
* A journalist from Rolling Stone interviews Lily about her work. He shows her a picture she took of Rufus when he was the lead singer of “Lincoln Hawk” and asks her if they were an item at the time. Lily becomes uncomfortable but the journalist keeps pushing. She eventually ends the interview.
* Lily meets with her wedding planner, Claudette.
* Vanessa helps out Rufus, who is back on stage with his band.
* Georgina sets up a camera to have a genuine “van der Woodsen” sex tape.
* Dan searches for Serena and learns that she didn’t sleep in her bed the night before.
Gossip Girl 1.18 Season Finale, “Much ‘I Do’ About Nothing”
Air Date: May 19, 2008
* A wedding, break-ups, hook-ups and romantic vacations change everything.
*Georgina’s parents are tired of her antics and tell her that things won’t be alright if she doesn’t get her act together. Blair is there for support... or is she?
* The Sparks want to send their daughter to a boot camp for troubled girls.
* Things between Dan and Serena are strained.
* A new girl enters Chuck’s life - Amelia, played by real life heiress Lydia Hearst.
* Rufus surprises Lily in her bridal chamber.
(Spoiler ends here)
Random Question
Just what the hell is she smiling about?
MISS TLC SAYS: Seriously. Someone needs to stop this broad. Pronto. And it should be Barack. He needs to tap her on the shoulder and whisper in her ear: "for real though... if you don't want to find yourself on the unemployment line come September, jump aboard my train and just accept VP... NOW"

Me Lovey John Mayer
He's seriously so funny in a dry, sarcastic, obnoxious way (which is so me and I love it). While the whole media junkie tabloid world is all aflutter with rumors and pics that "prove" he's allegedly dating Jennifer Aniston, what is he blogging about? His new feathered haircut.
Mayer's blog musings are below...
Today I set off on my newest project; to grow and maintain an authentic '80s style feathered haircut. It's something I've wanted to do for some time and I'm very excited to bring this amazing look into today's pop culture landscape. The feathered cut projects an attitude of ease and quiet confidence that seems to have all but eluded our generation.
This is a work in progress, and as my hair grows longer it will serve to become a more stirring and poignant statement.
In honor of his new-found obsession, Best Week Ever has posted one of the funniest pieces featuring famous feathered-hair wearers. You can check it out here: Famous Feathered Hair-Wearers
Borgata To Become Smoke-Free!!!
This is why I love this place...
Borgata Goes Clean Air
Borgata to be first Atlantic City casino to go 100% smoke-free
In an effort to best accommodate our customers -- smokers and non-smokers alike -- Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa has submitted plans to the NJ Department of Community Affairs (DCA) that will make the resort the first 100% smoke-free casino in Atlantic City. To accommodate smoking guests, Borgata will offer several outdoor lounges that will be designated smoking areas. These outdoor spaces will offer guests a comfortable, climate-controlled environment reminiscent of Borgata.
We feel this decision will best maintain the fresh, upscale atmosphere associated with Borgata, while accommodating both smokers and non-smokers alike.
Subject to NJ DCA approval, the plans will take effect in compliance with the Atlantic City smoke free ordinance.
