it's friday...time to shake it.

and if you can't get up and shake it to this one, i don't know what to tell you.

there is no shake in your quake.

and there's nothing quite like dan akroyd doing it to it in the closing credits of "the great outdoors".

LOVE that movie!

so happy friday, bunnies.

make it a good one!

as seen on tv...item of the week!

i've been wanting to do this for a while now...

if you don't know me, then this will be news to you.

I LOVE AS SEEN ON TV STUFF!!!!

so here's the item i am thinking about purchasing.

pour the egg into the little egg shaped container, drop the containers into the boiling water, and -- VOILA!

perfect boiled eggs in minutes.

we'll see...

here's my question...

if i'm boiling the eggies, who's going to devil them for me?

if looks could kill...

a man went after a foul ball at a taiwanese baseball game --

the only problem?

his daughter was in his lap when he tried to catch the ball, and went crashing into the seats in front of them!

he then picked her up by her leg after missing the ball...

father of the year!

the best part of the clip, without question, is the look on his wife's face at the end.

dude.

you are SO not getting any.

for a while.

;)

we thought it was so easy...

wear ugly shoes, get fit!

here we were, wandering around in weird shoes because we thought we were going to rock, rock, rock our way to toned legs and buns, and then...

WHAT!?!?!

those quick fix sneakers don't work?

shocker.

reebok is being forced to pay 25 MILLION dollars to the federal trade commission because of false advertising claims that their easy tone footwear "had been proven to lead to 28 percent more strength and tone in the buttock muscles, 11 percent more strength and tone in the hamstring muscles, and 11 percent more strength and tone in the calf muscles than regular walking shoes."

don't ever say you have scientific evidence when you're lying, fools!

don't go topless in ireland!

an irish farmer put the kibosh on a topless rihanna monday in northern ireland.

she was in belfast shooting a video for the single "we found love," and her video attire went from a flannel shirt, to a flag bikini, a red bra, a black mesh top, and then...ta da! just jeans.

that is when alan graham decided she had gone too far, and put a stop to the shoot.

TRANSLATION: his wife sent his ogling ass out there to get her to cover up!

and...did he still get paid for the use of his land?

if you're from south cackalacky...

here's yet another reason to be super proud!

summerville resident annie caddell proudly flies a flag in front of her home. the problem? it's a confederate flag.

the flag is seen by caddell's neighbors as a symbol of slavery and racism, but she sees it as a symbol of history.

since moving into the historically black neighborhood last summer, neighbors have built wooden fences on either side of caddell's house in an attempt to block the flag from view.

so what did she do?

put the flag on a taller pole.

and the battle rages on...

demi moore, putting on a brave face, cups jennifer aniston's boob at the premiere of the lifetime movie "five", last night in NYC.

it's unfortunate that the demi/ashton divorce rumors are getting more press than the subject matter of the film, which tells five different stories about breast cancer.

moore and aniston each directed a segment.

modern family's sofia vergara was at the astor place kmart yesterday to unveil her new clothing collection for the company.

"I wanted to create a collection that the normal woman could afford and look sexy and cute without blowing all their funds", vergara said while chatting up the press at the presentation.

great. you know what that means...

even more "people that shouldn't" in animal prints and leggings.

i guess i get to spend fall looking at bad outfit combinations, and throwing up.

yes, mix your missoni by target zig zags with your sofia vergara zebra print tube dress!

'army wives' star kim delaney made a nice big crowd of stiffs uncomfortable during a strange, rambling speech thursday night at the liberty award medal presentation in philadelphia.

she spoke of serving in the military and attending military funerals.

only one problem...

she hasn't done either!

she was later escorted off the stage before finishing her speech.

according to a local news station, the teleprompter had broken and delaney had to wing it...

i'm sorry. isn't that what we call in the trade "improvising"?

speaking of plastic...

can you tell which is the "real" fergie and which is the madame tussaud's wax figure?

yeah...me neither.

how the hell does lindsay lohan still get invited to parties?!?!?!

by going over to europe where they don't give a shit about bad behavior, that's how!

the plastic fantastic, bleached out extensioned train wreck that is lindsay lohan was spotted with designer philipp plein at an amFar event in milan friday.

if she plumps those lips up any bigger, i think they might explode!

you know, my little impressionable tween bunnies...making your lips THAT FREAKING BIG so you'll look like you give a good bj really never attracts the kind of guy you would want to keep around for too long...or that is going to treat you right.

just what hollywood needs...

another D-list unplanned pregnancy!

some disney actress, brenda song, and miley's older brother, trace cyrus, are expecting a baby.

"It was not expected," a source reportedly told US weekly. "They were both startled to find out she's pregnant...They are figuring out how to handle it."

GREAT. sounds like this bambino's coming into a world full of love and excitement!

get it together, kids.

and for god's sake let that little bundle look like the mother.

that trace cyrus didn't just get beat with the ugly stick...he got taken out by the whole tree!

oh that's right. that was the drummer retiring to become a farmer.

the athens, georgia band R.E.M. has broken up after 31 years together.

michael stipe and the boys called it quits in a statement on their website monday...

"As lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a band. We walk away with a great sense of gratitude, of finality and of astonishment at all we have accomplished."

in happier news...

american hikers josh fattal and shane bauer were released (FINALLY!) from an iranian prison wednesday.

they were released on bail of $500,000 each and their sentences were commuted, according to the iranian government-run press tv. they were then flown to oman, where they were reunited with family members.

bauer and fattal, both 29, were convicted last month of entering iran illegally and spying for the US, and each was sentenced to eight years in prison.

once arriving in oman, the two spoke to the media...

"We are so happy we are free, and so relieved we are free," Fattal said. "Our deepest gratitude goes towards his majesty, Sultan Qaboos of Oman, for obtaining our release. We are sincerely grateful to the government of Oman for hosting us and our families."

Bauer said: "Two years in prison is too long, and we sincerely hope for the freedom of other political prisoners and other unjustly imprisoned people in American and Iran."

justice or injustice?

georgia inmate troy davis was executed wednesday night for the 1989 murder of mark macphail, an off-duty police officer.

he was officially declared dead at 11:08pm, about 4 hours after he was originally supposed to be executed. his attorneys were seeking a stay from the US supreme court, which was rejected despite witnesses recanting their original statements and claims they were pressured by police to say davis was the shooter.

in the minutes leading up to his death, Davis stated that he had not carried a gun the night of the murder and did not shoot savannah police officer, mark macphail, in a fast food restaurant parking lot in august, 1989.

davis then spoke directly to macphail's brother and son, who witnessed the execution, "All I can ask is that you look deep into this case so you can really find the truth."

as prison officials prepared to inject him with a lethal mix of chemicals, davis said his final words...

"May God have mercy on your souls," he said.

the family of the victim said they were sure of his guilt, and were relieved by the execution.

501 north broadway, in nyack, new york, is most famously known as the house in the susan sarandon/julia roberts tearjerker "stepmom".

it was also used as a bed and breakfast in the jen aniston/gerard butler flick "the bounty hunter".
