This is why you all that nonsense about following your passion doesn't work. It clearly doesn't matter how passionate this guy is about his work: There is such a thing as too many fireballs. Via The Daily What.

J.Lo only hold-out for American Idol E!: "The breakout star of American Idol's 10th season is coming back for another go—no, not Scotty McCreery, we're talking about Steven Tyler! A Fox rep confirms to E! News that the tangent-prone rocker will be returning to dole out the advice (and, let's be honest, the lascivious stares) to contestants next year along with the big dawg himself, Randy Jackson. And since we all know Idol is nothing without our own Ryan Seacrest, that just leaves Jennifer Lopez as the sole holdout. So what's her deal? Well, while Tyler and Jackson's return was pretty much a given — Steven signed a multiyear deal with the reality show, and Randy told Lopez Tonight this spring that all three judges would be back—Lopez has been publicly coy about her possible return to the show ... Sounds like someone was taking notes when they were taught how to get the most out of negotiations in superstar school. She didn't bank a reported $12 million for her inaugural season on air for nothing, folks."
Justin Timberlake believes in MySpace THR: "Justin Timberlake is taking a minority stake in MySpace after its acquisition by online advertising network Specific Media and will help the company develop its new strategy and creative direction. Timberlake had a key role in Oscar-nominated The Social Network about Facebook and its founders and is now taking a lead role in the future of MySpace, which has seen its user numbers decline amid competition from Facebook, which has been the dominant social network. Under its new owner, which finalized an acquisition for $35 million on Wednesday, MySpace is expected to focus on music. It has long been a popular way for music talent to present its work online and drive fans to concerts and the like."
Have a seat, Chris Hansen National Enquirer: "Investigative star Chris Hansen – best known for exposing Internet sex perverts on “To Catch a Predator” – has been caught in his own cheating scandal with a sexy blonde young enough to be his daughter! For nearly four months, sources say, the handsome father of two has been cheating on his wife with Kristyn Caddell, a news anchor at NBC affiliate WPTV in West Palm Beach, Fla. Hansen and his wife, Mary, 53, live together in Connecticut and have two sons, but that didn’t stop the “To Catch a Predator” star from being caught in his own web of deceit, say sources."
Lindsay Lohan is free Reuters: "Actress Lindsay Lohan was released from home detention on Wednesday after spending 35 days at her Los Angeles apartment for stealing a gold necklace, authorities said. A private company that handles monitoring equipment for home detention inmates removed the electronic ankle bracelet from the "Mean Girls" star on Wednesday morning, said Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for the Sheriff's Department. Lohan was sentenced in May to 120 days in jail, but the 24 year-old actress qualified for a shorter period of house arrest under programs for nonviolent offenders and to reduce overcrowding in Los Angeles jails. Lohan, a former child star, pleaded no contest in May to the theft of a $2,500 gold necklace from a Los Angeles boutique. She had walked out of the store wearing the jewelry."
Oh, goody TV Guide: "Joe Rogan has officially signed on to return as the host of NBC's Fear Factor revival. Rogan, who hosted the show's original run from 2001 to 2006, will be on hand when production begins at the end of July. "It doesn't seem real," Rogan tells TV Guide Magazine. "It seems like some sort of bizarro dream world. But I'm looking forward to it. The idea of sitting at home and watching someone else host it would have driven me crazy." NBC has ordered eight episodes of the reborn Fear Factor, which producers say could be ready to air as soon as September. Fear Factor executive producer Matt Kunitz says he always planned to bring Rogan back. "We wouldn't want to do this show without Joe," Kunitz says. "This makes me 100 percent relieved. Part of the nostalgia of the show coming back is Joe Rogan. Joe is a guy's guy, but women like him as well."

What I would like to know - not being a roller-coaster afficionado due to abject fear and acute motion-induced nausea issues and my promise to myself to not stand in line for anything that doesn't involve goverment offices and/or Johnny Depp on the pole - is, doesn't that crotch thingy hurt?
Because it would be really useful to know if he smoked pot. Really, really useful. Useful in so many ways that my brain is so full of examples that I cannot think of a single one. This story is from Live Science:
"A South African anthropologist has asked permission to open the graves No, don't do that of William Shakespeare and his family to determine, among other things, what killed the Bard and whether his poems and plays may have been composed under the influence of marijuana. But while Shakespeare's skeleton could reveal clues about his health and death, the question of the man's drug use depends on the presence of hair, fingernails or toenails in the grave, said Francis Thackeray, the director of the Institute for Human Evolution at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, who floated the proposal to the Church of England. Thackeray conducted a study in 2001, which found evidence of marijuana residueon pipe fragments found in Shakespeare's garden. Cannabis was grown in England at the time and was used to make textiles and rope. Some Shakespearian allusions, including a mention of a "noted weed" in Sonnet 76, spurred Thackeray's inquiry into whether Shakespeare may have used the mind-altering drug for inspiration. "If there is any hair, if there is any keratin from the fingernails or toenails, then we will be in a position to undertake chemical analysis on extremely small samples for marijuana," Thackeray told LiveScience. Whether or not Shakespeare smoked pot, he certainly didn't want his remains disrupted. Exactly. So don't do it The stone covering the poet's grave carries an engraved curse for any would-be intruders. "Blessed be the man that spares these stones," the engraving reads, "And cursed be he who moves my bones." Thackeray said he has a way around the Bard's curse. "We don't want to move any of the bones," he said. Instead, Thackeray said, the team plans to use a technique called laser surface scanning. Yes, let's argue details and semantics with a 400-year-old curse. Have you never seen The Mummy, you idiot. What is wrong with you? Leave the dead poets alone. With a portable device, he said, the anthropologists can open the graves and digitally scan the skeletons of buried in the graves that are supposed to belong to Shakespeare, his wife Anne Hathaway and his daughter Susanna without moving the bones. The scans could then be turned into three-dimensional computer models of the bones and skulls. From this information, the researchers can build facial reconstructions to confirm the skeletons' identities and look for markers of health and signs of disease in the bones. Thackeray also pointed out a loophole in Shakespeare's curse. "He does not refer to teeth," he said. Yes, there is that. You're totally home free. A very small sample of the inner portion of Shakespeare's tooth could provide DNA to definitively link him to the skeletons of his wife and daughter, Thackeray said. Who cares. Sit your ass down and read some sonnets or something. Chemical analysis of teeth can also reveal details about a person's diet as well as their smoking habits, though not whether he preferred tobacco or Mary Jane. Skeletons from Virginia of people who lived during Shakespeare's time show grooves between the canine and incisor teeth from habitual chewing on a pipe, Thackeray said. If Shakespeare was a habitual smoker, his own teeth might bear such grooves. A Church of England spokesperson told FoxNews.com last week that they had not received a petition from Thackeray to open the grave, which is located in the Church of the Holy Trinity in Stratford-upon-Avon. That's a good strategy, Church of England. Just go with the old "I have no idea what you're talking about." Eventually the grave-desecrator will go away. I'm rooting for you, Church of England. But Thackeray said the paperwork is in. "The application has been submitted," he told LiveScience. "We are now just simply waiting for a formal response. … We respect the fact that it will take time to have our proposal examined and assessed." Uncovering Shakespeare's bones could provide more information about the man behind "Hamlet" and "King Lear"than ever before, Thackeray said, adding that "there is very little known about his life. Guess what? I don't want to know. Who frakking cares what he ate for dinner or whether he liked to get high or whether his kid was really his kid. Read the damn plays. It'll give you something to think about other than running around in cemetaries, poking at other people's bones. Sheesh."
