The Sopranos' greatest dialogue this season...
episode 78: Soprano Home Movies
(on Monopoly's unofficial 'Free Parking rule')
Bobby: You show me that in the rules.
Carmela: Technically it isn't in the rules, but a lot of people play that way. Adds a whole new level of excitement to the game.
Bobby: I don't agree with that.
Janice: Bobby, when we were growing up in our house, this is how we played.
Bobby: You know the Parker brothers took time to think this all out. I think we should respect that.
Episode Number: 79 Stage 5
Tony: How was Florida?
Phil: Hot and sticky, like my balls.
Christopher: Isaac Newton invented gravity because some asshole hit him in the head with an apple.
episode 80: Remember When
Tony: Remember when is the lowest form of conversation.
Episode 81:Chasing It
Tony: The guy with the polio leg and the built up shoe?
Here's the story, of a man named Brady...
I'm not into sports, but I have a reason to try to watch football now. Check out Brady Quinn.
The former Notre Dame quarterback was just drafted to play for the Cleveland Browns. He is a
hottie.

The media motormouth
Everything's not so Rosie...
Well, all those crazy tabloid headlines about Rosie O'Donnell leaving The View have turned out to be true. The outspoken talk queen will leave the show in June. O'Donnell was unable to agree on a contract with ABC.
"My needs for the future just didn't dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me," O'Donnell said in a statement today. "This has been an amazing experience," she said, "and one I wouldn't have traded for the world."
O'Donnell helped boost ratings for The View, but her nasty feuds with Donald Trump and Kelly Ripa have angered many to the point of not even being able to work with her.
I predict she tries to do a solo talk show again. Watch out Ellen! She's coming for your ratings next.

The Killers shake up Hard Rock Live in all the right ways
The Killers put on an energizing show last night at the Hard Rock Live at The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood. The sold out show consisted mainly of teenagers and 20-something hipsters jumping up and down with their cell phones. There were no seats on the main floor and as soon as doors opened, hundreds were already lined up in front of the stage at 7 p.m., two and a half hours before The Killers would actually come on stage.
Two bands opened for them. First up was Howling Bells, which sounded a lot like The Cranberries. Then The Rapture played. These guys were like Jamiroquai on Crystal Meth. They had a sax player and a crazy '80s, disco sound. I'll probably buy their CD, drink a bunch of Red Bull and try to do Cornholio impressions.
The Killers opened with a black and white film flashing images of the old west. Remember, that's the look and feel these guys are after now--you know spurs, the mysterious whistle and tumbleweeds.You could hardly hear the band during the choruses because the crowd was singing along so loudly. While they played many tunes off their new album, Sam's Town, it was obvious Hot Fuss is still fueling South Florida as a favorite album. They played "Somebody Told Me" early in the show, which was a shocker, and then later did "Smile Like You Mean It," and the show stopping "Mr. Brightside."
If you didn't get a chance to catch this show, try to check them out next time they're down here. They're great live plus Brandon Flowers was sporting these fabulous ruby shoes that were worth checking out alone. Every once in a while he'd jump on a amplifer in those red shoes and conduct the crowd. People were jumping around so much you could feel the balcony swaying a bit.

I used to like, Oh my God, be a totally huge popstar and now I like made 47 like super bad decisions, you know, all in a row. And I like totally need y'all to give me a break cause like, I'm pregnant again ya'll. Psych!
Say it isn't so...(ok, it likely isn't) But I seriously hope this isn't true...
In case anybody was still wondering, Britney Spears has really and truly lost her mind. On Friday night she was talking in a fake Valleygirl accent blabbing to shutterbugs "I just want to say that I'm just really, really shocked at like how nice our world is because it is just so nice. Like oh my God. Like the other day I was sitting there and I saw all these magazines and they said I was pregnant and like it's so true."
Spears allegedly told a videographer: "I really am pregnant."

Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you...
The perfect foundation...(psssssssst! it's not what you think!)
You're not going to believe this but Maybelline's new Dream Matte Mousse foundation is the best, fool-proof make-up base I've ever seen. Even if you're not good at applying foundation, there's really no way to screw up with this stuff. I found the product during a fashion emergency at CVS. The other night I had to go to a fashion event in Miami and I forgot my make up bag at home. I only had about $10 to spend on mascara, foundation and blush. There was a coupon for this Maybelline product. I didn't even want to try it. I'm such a make up snob now I rarely even try drugstore brands out of fear that my skin will break out and the coverage will be too sheer, but I gave it a shot because I had no other choice. I am still in shock over it!
I have probably spent over a $1,000 on various foundations over the last eight years. I 've used foundations by:
M.A.C., Chanel, Bare Minerals (that swirl, tap and buff stuff), Laura Mercier, Trish McEvoy, Make Up Forever, Lola, Clinique, Elizabeth Arden, Too Faced...the list is just too long to even go on with. This Maybelline product only cost me $8 and I had a $1 off coupon. The consistency is amazing--light, buoyant and mousse-like. It's truly a fluffy facial treat that you dip your finger in to a couple of time and blend it into your skin. The end result is a flawless canvas. And best of all, this stuff seems to last, not even fading after several hours.
I went on the internet and researched some facts about it. It turns out it's England's No.1 foundation.
it has silicone polymers that help prevent caking and it's available in 8 shades including Caramel and Cocoa for darker complexions.
Most importantly, this stuff looks natural. There's no line of demarcation.
Head to CVS and treat yourself to this stuff. Your friends will be asking you what skincare products you're using because you're going to look great.

Soy un perdedor, I'm a loser baby...
I told you so!
As if we all didn't see this coming, Larry Birkhead is officially the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby Dannielynn.
The 34-year-old Los Angeles freelance photographer claimed that Dannielynn was conceived in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve 2005.
"I hate to be the one who told you this but … I told you so,"Birkhead said outside a Bahamian court. "My baby's gonna be coming home pretty soon. Nothing's been determined yet but parentage, and I'm the father. It's been a long road, and I'm happy to have this behind me and to be able to start a life with my daughter."
Now seven months old, Dannielynn lost her mother on February 8 when Smith died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. Toxicology tests showed that Smith, 39, had nine different medications and a powerful sedative in her body when she died.
The infant stands to inherit millions as litigation on Smith's lawsuits continues.
As this Jerry Springer-like battle comes to a temporary close, I will leave you all with a Jerry Springer-like final thought.
"Anna Nicole Smith was a tragic beauty, following in the footsteps of her idol Marilyn Monroe. While she seemed to have many lovers over her lifetime, Smith was empty inside--self-medicating and remaining numb to the outside world. While many men came forward claiming to be Dannielynn's biological father, we now all know there is only one man who can claim this title. We all have to feel sympathetic toward Dannielynn, whose middle name is ironically named Hope and hope that in the end, she will find love and nurturing--two things her mother never seemed to find."
Take care of yourselves and each other.
