Thank God Its Friday.....

So I for one am very excited that it is Friday. My little Boston Terrier, Oliver went in this morning to get neutered, so I am a bit of a nervous mommy today. How do people have children and not go certifiably crazy? Anyways, today our Daily Rounds will be political in nature, since I could give two craps if Asshlee Simpson was preggers with that loser’s baby or not… so let's get to it...

* The abortion artist from Yale is apparently lying about her project. OH wait...she says she is telling the truth. Well Jezebel agrees with me in thinking that all this nonsense is just creating more media hype for a nobody!

* A homeless man in NYC came across the blueprints for the Freedom Tower..IN A GARBAGE CAN!!! You know its pretty smart to throw away publicly the plans for rebuilding the one structure in NYC they keep attacking.

*So this polygamist sect gets worse and worse. They are now reporting that girls as young as 13 were being impregnate by their 50+ year old "husbands" and the investigation is now moving into Colorado. HBO better move up efforts for Big Love.

* Speaking of abuse in large religions, the Pope met with abuse victims during his trip to the United State to repair the mistake the Catholic Church made by covering up the sexual abuse by priests for years. Nothing like listening to abuse victims to erase the years of abuse. And speaking of the Catholics, they are all up in arms over Bill Maher's commentary on the new Pope on last week's episode of "Real Time". You can view his New Rules segment here where he calls the pope a Nazi and discusses the fact that if any other organization allowed this degree of sexual abuse for this amount of time, the leader of said organization would be in jail forever. Can't say I disagree with the man.

*Clinton, Obama and Edwards, Oh my! The big name Democrats in the race to the White House appeared on the Colbert Report last night and got funny. Of course the most charming of the bunch was the dude who is no longer in the race. Ain't it always that way. Here is John Edwards....

DAILY ROUNDS....

Let's start things off today with the best news of the week - RICKY GOT KICKED OFF OF PROJECT RUNWAY!!!!! Oh happy day!! What's amazing is that this is the first time this cry baby did not shed a tear all season. What a punk! Last night's challenge was to create an outfit for the lovely lady wrestlers of the WWE!

While everyone really went for the challenge, Ricky used the worst color, Orange, on his olive skin toned wrestler and basically made a bathing suit. While others failed at the task like Romi and Sweet Pea, Jillian and Christian killed it! But what was super awesome was Chris, who was able to come back earlier on in the season after he had been Auf'd won it. Chris' design was practical, seemed super WWE style and his "diva" LOVED IT! And so did the panel. I am so glad he is finally getting the recognition his hard work deserves. Here is the winning outfit and the designer.

Next week, I think they will be going on their extended field trip, a la a trip to Paris, or something. It's getting super close this time around and I can't wait to figure out who makes it to Bryant Park!!!!!

And now for the rest of the news:

+ Billy Joel plays one last show at Shea Stadium. Joel will be playing the last live performance in the stadium on July 16th of this year. The METS will be moving to a new stadium adjacent to Shea for their 2009 season. Joel will now join the club of the infamous performers who have rocked out Shea in the past, like the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix. I am sure it will be costly, but this will be worth it!

+ Speaking of the Beatles, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has passed away at age 91. Maharishi, who developed the Transcendental Meditation movement, was well known for his impact on the Beatles in their later years. He also aided Donovan to growth within his spirituality. Maharishi will be mourned by many of his followers in the Transcendental movement, but his passing is not looked upon as tragic thing to them.

+ Val Kilmer will voice of KITT, the car in the new version of "Knight Rider" NBC is producing. Will Arnett was tapped for the part original, but he recently backed out, leaving an opening for Kilmer.

+ Rolling Stone breaks down the Britney Spears meltdown. Some of the revelations that RS RSturned up is that she had breast implants as a teenager, she cheated on Timberlake and her family worked her like a dog when she was a child. What a mess.

+And finally, She & Him, Zooey Deschanel's project with M. Ward are playing some shows in the next few months and their first album will be released on Merge Records on March 18th.
