CHRIS DAUGHTRY IN CHEEKTAVEGAS?
But there was one fan that witnessed the American Idol superstar casually walking around the mall and did get to talk to him, she says. So what did she ask him? What the heck are you doing in Buffalo, that’s what. And his response she says was “Checking out the Apple Store”. A Marketing ploy by Apple? Or, maybe he really wanted an ipod, who knows? It just seems kind of weird he would stop at the Galleria.
Daughtry was not scheduled to be in Buffalo for any reason but he could have been passing through on the 90 west from his concert last night in Foxboro, Massachusetts to his next stop is Columbus, Ohio for his show tomorrow night. I’m thinking if he was in the B-Lo, it was for some late-night pizza and wings. We all know the life of a rock star.
BIG SHOT OWES BIG BUCKS
Is it really a new record if it isn’t paid for? Actually it would be 2 new records. A 22-year old bought 2 mansions in Hamburg for 6.3 million combined. Michael Wilson, a hotshot hedge fund manager from Cleveland rolled into town looking for some hot real estate, and dropped his loot on two new homes on Boston State Road (and set a new record for WNY real estate: 3.3 million for one and 3 million for the other home). Yup, Mr. Money Bags had huge plans for his new homes; a gym and racquetball court for one, and a theater, wet bar and even a waterslide to go along with his massive indoor pool for the other. Too bad he didn’t have money to pay for any of it.
When someone throws top dollar at you (literally), usually you don’t ask questions…just take the cash. But the banks should have! Wilson did pay a small chunk when closing on the house, but Business First says they found court documents saying he signed the loan but hasn’t made payments since. On top of that, he didn’t pay for all of his big renovations either…figures. He owes over $94,000 still, 4 months after they were completed. Of course, the two houses are in foreclosure, and will be auctioned off on September 1…to only a serious buyer this time.
While there are no real estate agents passing through the properties, some FBI agents have. They raided the homes looking for…well…that is still a mystery right now. Moral of the story, if it’s too good to be true, it probably isn’t true.

T.O.'S ALABAMA'S AVERAGE JOE
Just an average player with potential. That was what Terrell Owens was known as in high school. Nothing special, just a kid with inspiration. Last night during episode 3 of The T.O. Show, we saw a much deeper side to the pro baller's life. Even tears. I just wanted to give him hug (I'd probably need a ladder and longer arms).
During this episode, Owens visited home to see his "Grandmama" and dad. It was actually really touching. After having a one-way chat with his grandmama, he confronted his father about his past. The strangest of strange-his father lived directly across the street from where he grew up, and Terrell didn't even know it until he was 9 years old. His dad fed him some excuse about working 2 jobs so he had no time to have a relationship with his son (of course it can't be his fault, right?) and you saw yet again, more tears from T.O. Again, I just wanted hig him through the TV set. I also wanted to bitch-slap his daddy, but that's for another review.
The episode ended with him celebrating Easter with his family at church. Yes, T.O. loves the big guy upstairs. If you're not on Twitter, you're missing his daily praises to the lord.
T.O. may have been average in his teen years, but I think, hate him or love him, we can all agree those days of mediocrity are over.
WHAT MEGAN WANTS, MEGAN GETS...A PLUMBER?
VH1 launched another attempt at reality television last night, with the premiere of “Megan Wants A Millionaire”. Wow… a girl that gets right to the point. It stars Megan Hauserman from Rock of Love, I Love Money and Beauty and the Geek. She is notorious for always wearing a bathing suit…everywhere. She’s also known for being very much into money. Well, what Megan wants Megan gets.
The producers arranged for 20 rich dudes to appear on the show. Am I the only one that thought this concept through? It has to be a challenge to get a good looking rich dude to come on a reality TV show to get hooked up with a gold digger, especially an annoying one with a pet chihuahua . Oh, and she is clothed in this show for once…which sucks for the guys who only showed up to gawk at her for a few episodes.
That didn’t stop plumber man though. His name is Garth and Megan mise well have kicked him back to the limo with her pointy stiletto. He was so flushed with emotions when he met Megan, he forgot he was a plumber for a good 10 seconds. At first he went with the "musician" occupation, but after that went nowhere he thought he would go back to being a plumber. Wrong show dude…Joe Millionaire wrapped up years ago…way to go!
GO KENDRA, GO KENDRA
I have to say the teasers for the Kendra show on E! get me PUMPED! First, I have to confess my love for her…she is hilarious and I’m very glad she was just signed for a second season. This week was wedding week episode, and it wouldn’t be a bridal shower without a playmate fashion show. Even granny got in on the action.
I give Bridget props for hiring the bridesmaids to strip, instead of some nasty man whores. As a bride-to-be, I can say that half my girls would NOT be up for that!
The Wedding was gorgeous as expected and at the Playboy mansion. Could it be because Hugh Hefner spotted the entire bill? As much as he won’t admit it, I’m pretty sure he had a favorite “Girl Next Door”. When Kendra walked down the aisle, it had to be a quarter mile…put that in your workout log Kendra. Then, when she proceeded to vows, being the Kendra everyone knows and loves, she kept forgetting what the judge told her to repeat and proceeded to crack up about it. That was a huge LOL.
Overall, the whole day was over-the-top. She makes every girl wish she had a sugar grandpa like Hugh to make her feel like a princess on her big day. Oh-and Hank Baskett looked hot too.
I look forward to seeing how she will handle motherhood in the upcoming episodes. As long as she keeps her spunkiness alive, she will be great.
TIGER WOODS BACKDOOR WIND
He who smelled it, dealt it. The most searched-for clip on Google today is champion golfer Tiger Woods breaking wind (not with his club) at the Buick Open. It would have been first on Youtube also but the PGA did not find it so funny, and threatened lawsuits if it wasn't removed. It's ok though; you can still find the best version on TMZ.com. It's really, really funny.
The nearby cameras picked up the butt thunder (it was super loud) and before you could say "what's that smell" it was all over the internet. The video shows Woods stop on the green, do the old dog leg shake trick, and then you hear the thunder roll. The muffle trick didn't work so well.
The best part of the whole thing was after he released his backdoor breeze, Tiger and his caddy started laughing about it. I guess no matter how famous or grown up someone is, a fart will always be something to giggle about. This is a desperate call for smellevision.
