After sampling (or perhaps indulging in) a few of the [yellow tail] wines, their popularity should really come as no surprise; the Casella Estate just makes great, affordable wine. This is certainly evidenced by the rate at which these wines have been flying off the racks; in fact, the [yellow tail] shiraz is the top selling red wine in the US and [yellow tail] also enjoys its perch atop the best selling merlot category.There's no question those are two great wines, but I've got a sec...

By the time it's taken you to get to this, 2 things have happened (well 1 for sure ... the other one's likely gonna happen anytime now):The American Idol road came to an end for Antonella Barba. Her lack of singing ability has finally caught up to her; amazingly it hasn't yet for Sanjaya Malakar, andAntonella Barba will be doing Playboy.

John Cornwell, who graduated from Duke University's engineering program, has used his education as he should ... to help man. Mr. Cornwell has built himself a fridge which actually tosses beer to him when he's seated on his couch. Now that's ingenious ... certainly more reliable and less of a headache than having your girlfriend or spouse do it. He spent approximately 150 hours and $400 developing the fridge, which is the small bar fridge style you see on campuses. Right now he only has o... Read Full Story

According to CNN, her next assignment is going to be with the staff of the chief of naval air training in Corpus Christi, Texas. Now let me get this straight ... the Air Force gives the boot to Michelle Manhart for posing nude in Playboy ... the Na... Read Full Story

I have to give Rosie credit for one thing .... she's consistent. She shoots her mouth off about everything and everybody, without really thinking things completely through. Fresh off of shooting her yap off about Donald Trump, Clay Aiken, Kelly Ripa, Danny DeVito and co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck (and I'm sure I'm missing others) she allows her lips to stumble into the ring again about American Idol and Antonella Barba.What's got her screaming now? Well, she's pointing out what she perceive... Read Full Story

Hey hey everyone. Antonella Barba has definitely shaken up American Idol and the Internet search engines of late with the release of her sexy nude pics. Have they kept her alive on American Idol? Who really knows, but despite her lack of singing ability (compared to some of the others) she does give me a reason to watch. For the past couple of weeks I've been anxious to see what she performs, hoping that she would embrace the recent storylines and give me the performance I've been waiting ... Read Full Story

There's no question that YouTube is huge, but they still have their problems. Problems big enough to cause Viacom to back out of a deal last month. A couple of their problems seem to be YouTube's lack of effort on keeping unauthorized content off of their site and their unimpressive deal making ability. Now that Viacom has backed away from YouTube, they lose their very popular "South Park" and "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" video clips. Both shows are featured on Comedy Central, owned ...

More evidence arose yesterday that Nicole Richie's life is actually far from simple ... she had to be taken to the hospital yesterday from the set of her show "The Simple Life" (how ironic is that?) due to "dehydration." According to E! Online, she had a 15 minute intravenous fluid infusion and was released. Read Full Story

Hey hey everyone ... good news today for Jennifer Mee, the Florida teen who has had the hiccups (about 50 per minute) for 5 weeks straight ... since January 23. The hiccups have finally stopped and she is breathing uninterrupted. None of the speicialists she's seen know why she had the hiccups for that long and none of them seem to know what made them stop. Jennifer later won the "No Shit Batman" Award after her hiccups stopped, when she proclaimed "my nose is burning and my throat hurts." Read Full Story
