January 12, 2012 While there has been a glimmer of good news recently the U.S. economy is still struggling to regain its footing. With consumer confidence still low we are all looking for ways to save money. Whether it's just a few pennies or a few dollars there are some great ideas on how you can save.
January 11, 2012 So, if I said to you, "Turn your kitchen into a musical instrument," what would you do? My first thought would be to revert to my toddler years and hit a spoon against a frying pan to make a drum-like sound. But, not this guy in the video. He goes one step further than just hitting a spoon against a frying pan. He turns his whole kitchen into an instrument. He uses everything from a can of cooking spray to a whisk to make musical sounds. I should clarify that he actually turns his kitchen into one big synthesizer. Check it out.
January 11, 2012 Redbook magazine has picked Blake Shelton for the cover of their "Hot Husband" issue. Blake takes the honor with his usual sense of humor.
"Are you sure you don’t mean ugly married dude?"
January 11, 2012 It is probably one of the most mis-named parts of your car. The glove compartment. How many people actually store their gloves in the glove compartment? My money is on "not many". But what do people keep in their, ahem, glove compartment?
January 2, 2012 Even though today may be a day off for many, it's a work day for some. And I think that we definitely need some comic relief for this first Monday of the new year. Who better to do that, than Jay Leno.
January 2, 2012 One day last week I came home and my wife was having lunch with her daughter and daughters-in-law. After I said hello I thought for a minute about pulling up a chair and joining the conversation but after overhearing what was being talked about I decided against it. It seems that men and women talk about different things when they are with with a group made up exclusively of their own gender than they do in mixed company. I checked out a website called Allwomenstalk.com to find out what girls talk about amongst themselves.
When we first met ‘American Idol‘ Season 10 winner Scotty McCreery just under a year ago, he sang Josh Turner‘s ‘Your Man’ a capella for the judges and was upstreamed to the next round. McCreery has not concealed the fact that he admires Turner and that he ultimately hopes to emulate Turner’s career. Even though Turner supports McCreery as he continues to evolve into a country superstar in his own right, he doesn’t return the admiration for McCreery’s on-the-go lifestyle right now.
Riley, the clever little girl in this video, has an epiphany in a toy store that turns into a mini-rant about the way that companies “try to trick the girls into buying the pink stuff instead of the stuff that boys want to buy.” Looks like toy companies ought to give the youngsters they market their products to a little more credit.
Last month's number one song from David Nail slipped to number four while Jason Aldean's inked-up 'Tattoos on this Town' claimed the top spot. Elsewhere on our survey, a new season of American Idol gets underway this month just as last year's Idol champ, Scotty McCreery, makes our top songs list with 'The Trouble With Girls.'
Dolly Parton has the perfect topic for her next try at a Broadway musical: herself. The singer, songwriter and star of the upcoming ‘Joyful Noise’ movie says she’d love to make her personal story of determination and success into a musical, and has even begun to work on it.
December 23, 2011 Back in October, I brought you a video of a dog keeping beat with some music by tapping his paw. Check out that video, here. Now, I bring you a dog that has some major rhythm. Not only does this dog in the video seem to like the music, he's bobbling his head and doing a little dance every time he hears the music. You can tell this dog really likes to groove to the music because when the guitar stops, the dogs look like he is frowning. Then, when the guitar begins again, he smiles and starts bobbing his head. Great video. Does your pet like music?
