The Hollister clothing company awarded college freshman Lizzy Marola a 1978 Volkswagen Microbus … because of her butt.

Hollister held a contest on its Facebook fan page that invited customers to submit a photo of their backside – and then allowed fans to vote for whichever one they felt was the best.

Lizzy Marola won – and drove away with the customized 1978 Volkswagen Microbus.

Was that a celebrity roast or was it the Golden Globes Awards? The British comedian was brash, profane, and cruelly funny. Host Ricky Gervais might have thought he was doing a comedy routine suitable for cable TV. However, most the viewing audience was middle-aged females like my Mother. While holding a pint of beer, Gervais began with a Charlie Sheen jab, “partying and heavy drinking, or as Charlie Sheen calls it, breakfast. Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie bomb the Tourist. Bruce Willis was introduced as Ashton Kutcher’s dad, Gervais also commented that Sandra Bullock hates poor people. There was an implication that Tom cruise is gay. Some actors commented on Gervias hosting, Robert Downey told the audience that , “Aside from the fact that Gervais has been mean spirited with mildly sinister undertones, “I’d say the vibe of the show has been pretty good. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen commented that “We recall when Ricky Gervais was a slightly chubby and kindly Comedian., said Hanks, Allen said, Neither of which he is now. Ricky Gervias ended that night by , “Thanking God for making him an atheist.” Sharon Osborne liked Gervais’ hosting talents. She tweeted , he is saying what people are thinking,” I just don’t understand why you would pick that sort of audience to shock the public. Ricky Gervias, says he doesn’t care if anyone is offended by his jokes. The Hollywood Foreign Press says that, We loved the show. It was a lot of fun and obviously has a lot of people talking. They will not invite Gervais back to host another show. The latest on the whole controversy, Gervais appeared on the Piers Morgan Show. I am tired of obnoxious behavior at award shows. Hopefully, The Academy Awards will be better, with actors hosting the show, rather than some hack comedian trying to get noticed.

A guy out of California plans to supply medical marijuana dispensaries with his new pot soda, which contains the psychoactive ingredient THC. Clay Butler says he’ll have other flavors of the soda including a Dr. Pepper-like “Doc Weed,” lemon-lime “Sour Diesel,” grape-flavored “Grape Ape” and orange-flavored “Orange Kush.” One 12-ounce bottle will retail between $10 and $15. Butler claims that he does not do drugs nor does he use medical marijuana for any ailments.

Last Monday I went to check into getting Lasik surgery at Spectrum Lasik.  After an extensive examination, I was found to be a candidate for the procedure and asked if I could be available on Thursday.  Needless to say, I jumped at the chance and it has been the best decision I have made since giving my heart to Jesus!  My vision is GREAT!  Granted I have to take good care of them as they heal as I have to take several types of drops several times daily and wear goggles in the shower and to bed!  And my left eye looks like it’s got a hickey!

Friday I went back to Spectrum Lasik for my first 24 hour checkup.  Afterwards, Tessa made me run to Doctors Care to have them take a look at my arm as my new Cthulhu tat had become increasingly red and infected.  They ended up writting me a prescription for an antibiotic and now it is on the mend although I am concerned about the possiblity of having to get some touch up work done to it.

I ended up sleeping a LOT this weekend giving my eyes much needed rest as they recover from the surgery.  I did, however, manage to make it out to the Greenville Road Warriors hockey game at the Bi-Lo Center on Friday night as a double date with me, Tessa, Merckle and Tessa’s former neighbor Lauren.  We hit up Joy of Tokyo first where Tess and I had to order the chicken and steamed rice bowl with no soy sauce due to our diet.  At the game, I tried to bid on a couple of jerseys in their silent auction but lost both bids so I ended up getting Tessa a pink Road Warriors hoodie.

Saturday, Tessa and I went to the movies and caught The Green Hornet.  Seth Rogen was great in the role and the fight scene between the Hornet and Kato in a sibling rivalry of sorts was one of the best I have ever seen!  I was pleasantly surprised!  Hilarious and action packed!

Sunday was the memorial service for Scott Lynch at Karmas where his favorite band, INSIDIOUS DEMISE played a set in his memory.

This morning I hit the gym at Coops and weighed in and discovered that I have lost five and a half pounds in the past week since starting this rigorous diet and excercise regimen!  WOOHOO!!!!!  I can has cheezburger?!?!?!?!?!

Everyone wanted to block my car in so I couldn’t go anywhere during the day..

Sports Illustrated gives a possible name for a new wonder drug that Lance might have been using to help him win his record seven tour de france victories - They are calling it HemAssist. The magazine reports “the FDA has information that Armstrong gained access” in the late 1990s to the experimental drug that was never commercialized.  This drug could have been  used and not detected by drug screenings.  Sports Illustrated also reports that they have email between Lance and doctors about takes the drugs. Check out the report by the Washington post! here’s the link!  I really hope this isn’t true!  I have always been a big fan of Lance Armstrong!

There is a blog site from a guy that says that all guys should boycott American women!  Here is what he has to say about American girls from the web site:

“I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don’t know how to cook or clean, don’t want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women?

American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least.

This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women.”   What do you think?? haha does the guy have a point??

Needless to say, I am more excited about one than I am the other!  Tessa and I went and joined Coops Health and Fitness on Friday since one of their trainers, Mike Baehser is a good friend of mine.  He gave us a quick rundown of the diet he was going to put us on and, I gotta admit, I’m not exactly thrilled about cutting out some of my favorite foods for the next couple of months but I am hoping to develop some better eating habits that will stay with me once the diet has run its initial course.

Needless to say, we did what most people do when they are about kick off a hardcore diet, we lived it up all weekend long!  We spent most of the weekend at her mom’s up in Spindale, NC and went to go see my friend Miles at the Wicked Needle in Rutherfordton, NC Saturday to get some new ink!

I went first and had Miles do my tribal Cthulhu tat on my right forearm!  Miles worked well and fast as it only took him roughly an hour and a half and the tat is KILLER!  Check it out!

Tessa was next with a set of stars behind her left ear!  I went into another room of the tattoo shop to have a shot and came back 5 to 10 minutes later and he was done!

Afterwards, we headed back to Miles’ and his wife Melissa’s house to do a little post ink festivities!  All I can say is that it involved the usual party elixirs and Michael Jackson the Experience on Wii!  I think there is a video of it out there somewhere….

Sunday, on our way back home, we stopped off in Spartanburg to catch a showing of the Coen brothers’ remake of John Wayne’s western classic True Grit.  I have to admit, I’ve never seen the original having been exposed to very little of John Wayne films, but the remake was a damn good film!  Definitely worth seeing!

Now that the weekend is over, the diet has begun!  All I can say is that what doesn’t kill me had damn well better make me stronger!

Andre Agassi was in Taiwan last week for the Rise of Legends charity event. At the event he announced that he would show the highest bidder a nude picture of his wife and fellow tennis legend Steffi Graf for a bid of more then $4000 dollars. There she is in the pic above… What do you think? worth the four g’s to see her naked… lol
