One of my favorite bits on The Tonight Show was “Ask the Fruitcake Lady”. Marie, Rudsill, the Fruitcake Lady, lived in florida in her later years and she was one of those people blessed with not having a filter on what she says. I do (quit laughing, I DO!), and I hate it but I can’t help myself. There are so many things I want to say to people, especially stupid people, but I’m too much of a pussy to do it.

Maybe when I’m 95. Nobody hits a 95 yr old.

Who am I kidding? I’ll be dead by 50.

Anyway, here’s a great highlight reel from the Fruitcake Lady:


And that’s saying something, considering that I’ve written about American Idol on other blogs.

So, I was sitting in church Sunday morning.

Yes, I go to church. No, I don’t want to talk about heaven, hell, God, Jesus, life, death, atheism, agnostics, christians, jews. If you do, go to blogger and get yourself a blog and write all about it on your own time. I pay for this space.

So, I’m in church. There’s a row with a half-dozen or so teenage boys in front of me.

Don’t start.

So, there’s a row of teenage boys, and everyone of them has the same haircut. I’m sure you’ve seen it, it’s been very popular since the first High School Musical broadcast. I call it the "Zac Efron-do".

It’s the "in" ‘do this year, I guess. Whatever, but I don’t understand how come it’s the ‘Zac and not the ‘Bleu.

Now THAT’s a ‘do! It takes a commitment  to grow that mop out. It tells those 16 year old girls that you CARE about your looks, that you’re hip, you got it going on, AND you’ve got good hair!

I mean, ANYONE can grow the ‘Zac. Takes about 6-8 weeks to get it over the tops of your ears, 3-4 months to fill out.

The ‘Bleu, on the other hand, takes commitment. That’s a year, at least, that you’re looking at in that picture, folks. I know, I’ve got curly hair, it takes a long time to grow to that kind of length because it’s springy and shrinks up when it curls.

So, boys, be a man, get the ‘Bleu.

PS for Fab: The soundtrack to High School Musical 2 has a song by Ashley Tisdale titled "Fabulous". Great bumper music for the radio show, if you haven’t picked it up already. I have 2 daughters, I can’t help knowing things like this.

Don’t worry, boys and girls, Harry Potter grew up and is living a long, happy life. From Yahoo! News:

Real Harry Potter weathers Pottermania

Sometimes it’s a hassle being Harry Potter.

Especially when you’re a 78-year-old man who happens to share the name of a certain fictional boy wizard who is famous the world over.

Each time a new Harry Potter book or movie comes out, Bradenton resident Harry Potter starts getting phone calls from children, interview requests from the TV networks and autograph requests.

“The kids want to know if I’m Harry Potter,” he said with a chuckle. “I tell them I’ve been Harry Potter for darn near 80 years!”

Oh man, that train wreck known as Mindy McCready is cutting another swatch across the state of Florida again. This time, she was arrested in Ft. Myers for beating on her mama after getting blotto on booze. Apparently, the Lee County deputies saw fit to putting the beat-down on her

TMZ has the most complete article (and a great picture!) I’ve found yet on this walking disaster:
