Happy Halloween
Onyx
I spent most of last night uploading pictures from my digital camera onto my computer. Then I tried to put up some cute pictures of Berry and Sonny up on the blog and it will not let me. So eventually those pictures will go up.
Also I wanted to note that I got three whole comments yesterday. If all I have to do to get people to leave comments is talk about Bo Bice and Katharine McPhee, well then look for my new section on the bottom of the page. (Just Kidding.) I do want to acknowledge the Bo Bice fans who mentioned to me that he is a pretty stand up guy and that his album has gone gold for shipments of over 500,000 copies. I have to admit, they don’t really play his music on the radio by me , so I had no clue what he was up to, thanks for keeping me informed.
NASCAR Update:
NASCAR said that they are investigating Robby Gordon for throwing debris onto the racing surface to bring out a caution. In the closing laps of Sunday’s race, a piece of rollbar padding was on the track leading to a caution which kept Chase contender, Jeff Burton two laps down and put Robby Gordon on the lead lap. Gordon finished 10th and Burton finished 13th.
Around Sports:
Baseball
Tim Wakefield will be back with the BoSox next year after they picked up his $4 million option. This will be the pitchers 13th season in Boston.
If Mike Piazza and Ryan Klesko want to come back to the San Diego Padres next season, they’ll have to do it at a below market price as the Padres decided not pick up either person’s option. They did pick up Mike Cameron and Russell Branyan’s.
Harold Reynolds is suing ESPN after being fired by the sports network over the summer. Reynolds had been with ESPN since 1996 and had been a 12 year Major League Baseball veteran.
Basketball
The Knicks and Larry Brown reached an agreement on Brown’s left over payments. Brown had signed with the Knicks for a five year, $50 million contract, but after going 23-59 last season, the Knicks let Brown go. Brown, however, was still owed $40 million. No official word on the actual amount settled on by the two parties…In other Knicks news, Jalan Rose has been released. The 33 year old veteran will reportedly still receive the $16.9 million left on his contract. Does it matter? I mean, the Knicks still have Isiah Thomas as their head coach.
Football
Sad news…Steelers part owner, Jack McGinely died of cancer on Saturday. He was 85. Maybe this will give the Steelers some motivation to win.
Popo in my Crib News:
It was a great day in the Belichick household. First, the Patriots beat the Vikings 31-7 and then Stephen Belichick, son to Pat’s coach, Bill Belichick, was sentenced to only 6 months of probation for marijuana possession. Watch out Stephen, because the popo are on your tail!
Around the World:
Roger Holyfield was shot by two stun guns on Saturday and died one day later. Holyfield was apparently carrying a Bible and yelling “I want Jesus,” when cops came upon him. They claimed that Holyfield was being combative. I’m sorry, but what part of holding a Bible seems dangerous? And in what way could his actions merrit being shot twice by a stun gun? Holyfield was only 17.
Celebrity Tid Bits:
Jacob Roloff, the youngest of the Roloff clan who star on TLC’s Little People, Big World (a minor obsession of mine) was injured on Saturday. According to people.com “[Jacob] was with a family friend at a pumpkin patch at the family’s home when a 2000-pound concrete weight dislodged from a trebuchet (a catapult-like device) built earlier this year by Matt Roloff [the father] and struck both of them.” They were rushed to a local hospital where Jacob had a procedure to elevate the swelling but is expected to be released. Get well soon, Jacob!
In so TIVOing news…Tori Spelling and her husband Dean McDermott will star in a new Oxygen reality TV show which will follow Spelling and McDermott as they open their own Bed & Breakfast. Scheduled for premiere in spring 2007, I’m sadly, so excited to see this, and I hope, it can help reunite this torn Spelling clan or be as entertaining as So NoTORIous. (via futoncritic.com)
Martha Stewart’s morning talk show has been renewed for a third season!
Jason Aldean and the Wreckers were added as performers to the 2006 CMAs. James Denton, Eva Longoria, Cameron Mathison, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Gary Allan, Billy Currington, Montgomery Gentry, Lee Ann Womack and Trisha Yearwood were also added as presenters. You can see all of these great acts on November 6th, live on ABC.
Well, Keith Urban has one thing he can smile about. His album, Be Here was certified quadruple platinum for shipments of 4 million copies. Be Here features smash hits like “Days Go By” and “Making Memories of Us.”
According to the Tennessean via gactv.com, Alison Krauss has been working with Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant on a new duet. I seriously cannot wait to hear it!

Thanks.” – Anonymous to me…apparently some one was not too thrilled with my Katharine McPhee comment posted on yesterday’s blog, but not pissed off enough to leave a name. Oops. Well if you leave your name in the comments section, I’ll be sure to edit my blog to give you the credit you deserve!
It’s been fun blogging with you,
Kate

Thanks for acknowledging Bo. He's a sweetie and he's worked really hard for his success. You're certainly right that nothing is handed to the runner-up. You're a cool cat! (What? Bo turned me into a hippie!)
