Ricky Martin Reveals Sexuality in Memoir
Barbara Walters said she regretted asking Ricky Martin if he was gay.
Ricky Martin may reveal his thoughts about that in his new memoirs, where he does reveal that yes, he is a 'fortunate homosexual man'...
Now that Ricky Martin is 'out', I hope his great philanthropic work gets more attention . Plus, I gotta say: I'd love to see him have a great music come back to show all those malicious gossip mongers and naysayers. Like, it's 2010 already!
Katy Perry gets slimed!!!

Hitler Reacts to Blocking the View From Citadel
This is a video that has gone viral in Halifax. The parody lampoons the concerns of Heritage Trust when it comes to the height of proposed buildings in downtown Halifax. Regardless of your opinion, you have to admit it's very well done.

A listener has a dilema
Hey Breakfast Club,
Just wondering if you can give me some advice, maybe your listeners have an opinion...
Ever since my husband was a little kid, he's been obsessed with playing video games.
He's had all the game systems: The original Nintendo, Sega, PlayStation . . . all the way up to an XBox 360 and a Nintendo Wii. And he plays close to 10 hours of games a week.
We're expecting our first child in three months, and I feel like he needs to grow up and stop gaming all the time.
Is a 35-year-old father too old to be playing video games? Does he need to grow up? Is 10 hours of video games a week too much?
Kim, 33

Lady Ga Ga's birthday present
What do you get for the girl who doesn't want anything normal? Gold vampire grillz, of course! Lady Gaga tweeted a pic that shows her wearing the new piece, explaining, "RUSSIAN ROSE GOLD VAMPIRE GRILLZ early birthday present from the haus, gravediggaz! i've been begging for these."
This isn't the first time Gaga has rocked vampire fangs. Last August she was photographed at London's Heathrow airport sporting white fangs.

10 THINGS EVERY WOMAN IS TOO OLD FOR AS OF HER 29TH B'DAY
Hey, you’re now too old to/for...
1. Wearing headbands, head-to-toe pink, and cheerleader skirts...

5. Attending concerts featuring anyone who wasn’t born by the year you started college (i.e., Justin Bieber) unless you are escorting a much younger family member

7. Subscribing to teen magazines, unless you work as a writer specializing in teen issues

9. Laying out in the sun without sunscreen
10. Sitting on anyone’s lap, unless you’re trying to fit five people in a taxi that sits four

Amazing Art! You have To See This!
Alexa Meade thinks completely backwards. Most artists use acrylic paints to create portraits of people on canvas. But not Meade - she applies acrylic paints on her subjects and makes them appear to be a part of the painting!
Meade is an installation artist based in the Washington, DC area. Her background in the world of Political Communications has fueled her intellectual interest in the tensions between perception and reality.
Her innovative use of paint on the three dimensional surfaces of found objects, live models, and architectural spaces has been incorporated into a series of installations that create a perceptual shift in how we experience and interpret spatial relationships.

Her goal is to become the world's fattest woman.....
We didn't dare post the photo where she is posing in her bikini, you can get the idea from this photo.
Donna Simpson of Old Bridge, New Jersey weighs just over 600 pounds. But in the next two years, she hopes to reach 1,000 pounds, in order to become THE WORLD'S FATTEST WOMAN.
That's right, Donna WANTS to become the world's heaviest woman. And she's stuffing her face with 12,000 calories day . . . which is only slightly less than the average person would consume in an entire week . . . to make sure she gets there.

Jesus in a frying pan?
Recently, Toby Elles from Lancaster, England thought cooked himself some grub and then brilliantly left the stove on after he was done cooking. After a quick snooze, he realized his error and rushed to the stove.
Lo and behold, there was Jesus Christ, looking back at him with burnt eyes of grease from the frying pan.
Toby is calling it a "miracle", since the pan could have just been taken over by the flames and burned him into little pieces. Instead, Jesus appeared to save him.

WHAT YOUR CELEBRITY CRUSH SAYS ABOUT YOU (Lemondrop.com)
Oscar winner/humanitarian/former Sexiest Man Alive George Clooney
You crave: More fun. Variety. Maybe even a new job.
The Love Doctor says: "A lot of professional, successful, achievement-oriented women are attracted to this type. And what you're really doing is looking for your opposite -- someone who's exciting, adventurous, and maybe a bit dangerous. A Clooney type is really not looking for a commitment. When you're attracted to your opposite, either you're not ready for a quality relationship -- which is fine, not everybody is -- or you might just be a little bored with what you're doing with your life."
Swashbuckler/expat/Sexiest Man Alive Johnny Depp
You crave: Intrigue. Bad boys. Or an exotic vacation.
The Love Doctor says: While Johnny may be married with kids, the characters he plays -- in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "Alice in Wonderland" -- are all about fantasy and escape. "He reminds me of a younger George -- with a little bit more danger. He lives on the wild side in his movies. He's unavailable. Not only to the opposite sex -- he's constantly disappearing. Think about 'Pirates of the Caribbean.'"
Two-time Oscar winner / five-time nominee / man of action Denzel Washington
You crave: Commitment. A rock to lean on. Possibly a father figure.
The Love Doctor says: "The strong leader -- that's another very common type. Denzel Washington, Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, even Morgan Freeman. You want someone you can rely on under pressure, who doesn't get frazzled in times of stress. Someone who's not going to control you, who can take care of himself. Women are exhausted from men they have to take care of, who are dependent on them financially, emotionally or socially. I'm struck by the Denzel Washington movie 'The Taking of Pelham 123' -- no matter what, he's cool, he's calm, he's collected. Women are attracted to that."
"Twilight" vampire-in-chief / tabloid topliner / teenage dreamboat Robert Pattinson
You crave: Connection. Devotion. A touchy-feely type who won't suck your blood -- or your energy.
The Love Doctor says: "Robert Pattison's character is extremely emotional. He cares about [Kristen Stewart's character], he's committed to her, he would do anything for her, even stop his lifestyle. And for girls who deal with boys who are unavailable and not highly talkative or emotional, that's really attractive."
Jane Austen hero / Bridget Jones crush / stiff-upper-lipped Brit Colin Firth
You crave: An equal. Intellectual stimulation. Someone to read the Sunday paper with.
The Love Doctor says: "He represents the brain. When you're attracted to this kind of person, you really want an intellectual challenge. You want someone you can meet head-on in terms of power and intelligence. You want to think about literary works, traveling ... great conversations where you can go one-on-one with this person."
Movie star / father of six / New Orleans saint Brad Pitt
You crave: A ring. Or maybe just a fling.
The Love Doctor says: "To many women, Pitt represents that sex-symbol image -- unattainable, unavailable. But at the same time, because he [settled down] and had kids with Angelina Jolie, he's that sensitive guy. He represents someone you could take home to your parents -- a 'keeper.' Some women think of him in 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith'; for those women it's the sex symbol. But other women think of him as he's seen in the media now, with all his charities, having a large family. [In that case] he's the sensitive guy ... reliable, dependable, trustworthy. This means you're ready to have a relationship. You're ready to share your intimate thoughts and feelings."

So, I thought he was just pranking everyone by being uncharacteristically surly, but maybe George Clooney was just being a doofus. (At one point, when the camera fell on Mr. Clooney, my mom grumbled, 'Ugh, he's sooo full of himself'. I love my mom!)

What is Buttology?
"Buttology - What Your Butt Says About You?
What kind of butt do you have? A Golf Butt or perhaps an Under Construction Butt??
Jenny Lee (AKA - The Sexy Nutritionist) author of "Eat Sexy, Lose Weight," reveals "The New Theory of Buttology"....
-- If you have a Pancake Butt (flat tush) then chances are you are impatient, witty, creative, clever, resourceful, yet strive for the easy way out of things instead of having to work for them.
-- If you have a Bean Bag Butt (mushy and big)it can mean an individual may be careless, irresponsible, unorganized, yet generous and giving.
-- If you have a "Steel Butt"(tight and firm) you will be persistent, aggressive and very possessive.
-- If you have a "Golf Butt" (dimples and cellulite) you may be pessimistic, conservative, shy, calm (and perhaps a sex addict?).
-- If you have a "Heart Butt" you will be devoted, compassionate, indecisive, idealistic and rebellious.
-- If you have a "Granny Butt" (saggy) you will be intuitive, nurturing, frugal, cautious, moody, self-pitying, jealous, and very practical.
Check out this former professional nutrition counselor and fitness trainer at her website: www.sexynutritionist.com
Jenny Lee is a fitness trainer to models and beauty queens all around the world including: multiple Mrs. Americas, Mrs. Californias, Miss Venezulas, just to name a few! She is also a former Mrs. California reigning queen herself who coaches girls to eat rather than starve themselves in order to win the crown!!!! Jenny says our behinds say alot about our personality.

A THANK YOU NOTE TO CANADA FROM BRIAN WILLIAMS. NBC
A THANK YOU NOTE TO CANADA FROM BRIAN WILLIAMS. NBC
In case you missed it on NBC
This is from the NBC Olympic anchorman:
Leaving behind a thank-you note
Brian Williams, anchor and managing editor
After tonight's broadcast and after looting our hotel mini-bars, we're going to try to brave the blizzard and fly east to home and hearth, and to do laundry well into next week. Before we leave this thoroughly polite country, the polite thing to do is leave behind a thank-you note.
Thank you, Canada:
For being such good hosts.
For your unfailing courtesy.
For your (mostly) beautiful weather.
For scheduling no more than 60 percent of your float plane departures at the exact moment when I was trying to say something on television.
For not seeming to mind the occasional (or constant) good-natured mimicry of your accents.
For your unique TV commercials -- for companies like Tim Hortons -- which made us laugh and cry.
For securing this massive event without choking security, and without publicly displaying a single automatic weapon.
For having the best garment design and logo-wear of the games -- you've made wearing your name a cool thing to do.
For the sportsmanship we saw most of your athletes display.
For not honking your horns. I didn't hear one car horn in 15 days -- which also means none of my fellow New Yorkers rented cars while visiting.
For making us aware of how many of you have been watching NBC all these years.
For having the good taste to have an anchorman named Brian Williams on your CTV network, who turns out to be such a nice guy.
For the body scans at the airport which make pat-downs and cavity searches unnecessary.
For designing those really cool LED Olympic rings in the harbor, which turned to gold when your athletes won one.
For always saying nice things about the United States...when you know we're listening.
For sharing Joannie Rochette with us.
For reminding some of us we used to be a more civil society.
Mostly, for welcoming the world with such ease and making lasting friends with all of us.
thanks to Gary in Vancouver
