So you wonder what the girl was thinking when she landed in Japan only to find out that Mine had been leaked during her flight? http://www.urbancountryblog.com/2010/08/…

Dear Diary,

I am loving the hot weather. It is long overdue. It is slightly uncomfortable with no breeze, but I am not complaining after not having it for so long. I actually pulled out a pair of shorts. I haven’t worn shorts in a year. I am sure it was quite disturbing to see so much white on some one’s legs. I hope I didn’t blind any of my neighbors.

We watched ‘Hot Tub Time Machone’ last night. I thought it was hilarious. Jeff liked it too. We always seem to like the fluffy movies that get panned. Give me something less than 2 hrs that makes me giggle and I am yours.

I talked to my sister yesterday. She is building up her pilates clients in San Deigo. I think she was bummed she wasn’t getting more feedback, but it is Summer and people are still vacationing. Now, they are starting to come in.

Today is going to be another hot one. It will be 92 in the city. I will be lying motionless in front of the fan. Those are my afternoon plans.

Talk to you tomorrow,

There’s some talk making the rounds online alleging that JACKIE EVANCHO…the 10-year-old opera singer from “America’s Got Talent”…is a lip-synching FRAUD.
But the “National Enquirer” consulted a vocal coach named Renee Grant-Williams, who studied the video…along with video of other, past performances…and determined that she IS singing live on the show.

Professor Charles Samuel Greenwood first began working on human powered cars in 1968. The recently announced Imagine PS (the PS stands for power statsion), built by HumanCar, is the culmination of nearly half a century of dedicated work and should be available sometime next year.

It’s a four seater street legal vehicle where if everyone is cranking — essentially a rowing like motion — the vehicle can run on human power alone. The company notes that even a senior citizen of reasonable health should be able to handle the physical burden with no problem. And for those days you just want to chill? The vehicle has an electric battery and can be plugged in.

Understanding today’s culture of personalization, HumanCar has made the chassis customizable with different styling and battery options that can be easily swapped. With a top speed of 60 mph on flat land and about half that uphill, the car isn’t fast but it’s certainly no slouch.

And it’s reasonably priced. For only $15,500, you can be environmentally friendly while also getting a modest upper body workout. The company is accepting pre-orders now for a $50 100% refundable deposit.

NICOLE KIDMAN and KEITH URBAN just bought a $10 million apartment in Manhattan.
Obviously, it’s got all the amenities you can think of. And one you probably HAVEN’T thought of: A car elevator.
For real. You just drive into the thing on the ground floor, and it takes you straight up to the floor your apartment is on.

The August 30th issue of “Star” magazine has photos of KENNY CHESNEY on a beach last week in Cancun, Mexico with ESPN reporter JENN BROWN. And they’re not just talking game, if you know what I mean.
In one of the photos Jenn is sliding her hands under Kenny’s shirt and around his ab-crunched waist. In another she’s striking sexy poses for him.
A so-called eyewitness told “Star”, quote, “They were touching and rubbing each other the whole time. They definitely looked like lovers, like they didn’t have a care in the world.” Kenny and Jenn were also, allegedly, shacking up in the same room.
The “Star” is also focusing the angle that Kenny is cheating on his longtime girlfriend AMY COLLEY. Apparently, when Amy found out she was “livid” and considered his betrayal a “slap in the face.”

This is one of the most touching videos you will ever see. United States Military personnel return home to surprise their loved ones.

16-year-old JUSTIN BIEBER has become the latest celebrity spokesperson for Proactiv, the acne medicine.
In statements on his page at Proactiv.com, Justin says, quote, “I’m definitely someone who suffers from acne. I’m a teenage boy! So I use Proactiv so my face doesn’t get like that. Proactiv is a great thing!”
But even though he “suffers from acne,” he says he uses it as a preventative measure. He says, quote, “Some people might say: ‘Justin Bieber? He doesn’t have acne, why is he doing Proactiv?’
“But, you know, it’s about preventing getting acne. Proactiv is the way to go. It just makes you feel so much better about yourself.”

For some of us…who are NOT teenage girls…it’s easy to dismiss the JUSTIN BIEBER phenomenon as yet another soft, teen pop sensation.
But you have to give him some real credit for this: A video has just surfaced from Justin’s performance at a Sacramento concert last December…in which he gets NAILED IN THE HEAD by a water bottle thrown by someone in the crowd.
And IF it was a water bottle…it’s a little unclear from the video…it must have been at least partially full, because it looks HEAVY.
Just before he was hit, Justin was just telling the crowd how much he LOVED them…and after the impact, he didn’t cry, or freak out, or even get pissed.
He merely said, quote, “Ow! That didn’t feel good.” Then, he fixed his hair, naturally, and added, quote, “I don’t know why she just threw that at me.”
