Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Lights, Camera, No Action!

I decide to take my girlfriend to the movies for a nice romantic evening. However, my choice of movie leaves a little to be desired “Earth Girls Are Easy” (You can see where the romance might have come into play….right?) After the flick, she storms out of the theatre. What movie should I have chosen?

A: St. Elmos Fire
B: Aliens

Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Willy Wronga & The Chocolate Factory

Chocolates are always a good idea and the bigger the box, the better! But, as the day wore on, my stomach was growling louder & louder. “What could one piece hurt? I can just shuffle the rest around and she’ll never know!” Well, one lead to another and another. Well, she got an almost completely empty box of chocolates. What should I have done?

A: Always keep a bag of Hershey’s Kisses on hand in the truck to refill the box.
B: Get the “Buy One, Get One” special after Valentines Day.
C: Or simply…Never sample the Sampler!!!

Kim Kardashian Denies She's Dating New York Jets Quarterback.

While the New York Giants are making headlines with their Super Bowl victory, Kim Kardashian is denying rumors she's dating a New York football star who's not part of the celebration. Kim denies a recent rumor that she's romantically involved with New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez. Kim released a Twitter blast Friday, saying, “Dating rumors are always fun when you don’t even know the people [you’re] supposedly linked to. Who makes this stuff up?”Sources close to Kim tell TMZ.com, her 2010 split from Reggie Bush was so rough, she lost her taste for NFL players entirely. The source says Kim has no plans to play the field in the near future. Sanchez was linked to actress Hayden Panettiere last summer. That turned out to be another false romantic rumor for the 25-year-old quarterback.

Jack Doesn't Know Jack: Epic Flower Fail!

When picking up my first love for our very first date, I thought it would be a GREAT IDEA to bring Dried Flowers instead of live ones. I thought it would be easier for her to cherish them by pressing them in a book. Didn’t go over too well. What should have I done?
A: Collected live flowers from the neighbors flower bed.
B: Collected the flowers that fell on the field after the homecoming celebration.
C: Just called 1-800-FLOWERS.

Of course the answer is C. Congratulations Allan Dolan from Kingston! You won The Wolf Prize Pack! 2 tickets to Million Dollar Quartet and a $50 Gift Card from 1-800-FLOWERS. Now you’re in the running for the Grand Prize…a $200.00 Gift Certificate to Ship Lantern Inn!

Fran Drescher Abducted by Aliens, Has Scar to Prove It!

Former Nanny star Fran Drescher is sure that aliens exist -- because she's seen them! In an interview with The Huffington Post, Drescher says before she met her now-ex-husband, Peter Marc Jacobson, they both spotted aliens once, while in a car with their respective dads. She says, "We were both in junior high. A few years later, we met, and we realized that we had the same experience. I think that somehow we were programmed to meet. We both have this scar. It's the exact same scar on the exact same spot." Though Jacobson now says Drescher's scar stems from an injury unrelated to an alien invasion, she insists, "I said to him, that's what the aliens programmed us to think." Drescher currently stars in the TV Land comedy Happily Divorced. Gee...Great title. Alien hands at work? Could be...

David Nail Is Addicted to Twitter!

Some artists pay attention to their Twitter and Facebook pages . . . while others clearly push it off on "their people". And then there are those who LIVE their lives on them. Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton and LeAnn Rimes come to mind. And let's add DAVID NAIL to the list. Twitter is a drug that he can't live without. David said, quote, "I'm addicted to it. I think it's a brilliant avenue to share news with people." David wasn't all that interested at first, and then THE MAN got him hooked. He said, quote, "I can remember my record label begging me to get involved with this thing called Twitter and I thought, that's so ridiculous. "Who cares that I'm eating lunch at Arby's right now? But it just became addicting like a drug." David has 45,000 followers and he says he'll answer just about any question they have, especially when it comes to sports. I checked out David's Twitter page just to see what he's up to and I found an awesome Tweet from yesterday. He wrote, quote, "On the @SouthwestAir plane, man in his late 50s trying desperately to hit on flight attendant in exit row! Thrown up in my mouth twice!"

Now THAT'S funny!

One Giant Leap For FANKIND!

Not since 2007 have I been this excited! I have to say that the Post Season has been the best it's been in years. I've watched every game and watched my beloved NY Giants defy the odds week after week, win after win. I have to say, I thought I was spent after the Green Bay game, not nearly as spent as I was after the 49ers game. The one constant, my favorite player of all time, Michael Strahan. When the odds were so stacked against the Giants, Michael continued to place his support squarely behind the Giants as I have. So, in tribute to Big Blue, here are some pics, including what I have done to the On Air studio. Go Giants! Bring it on home!!! By The Way...I have't washed that Manning jersey since the 25-14 win over the Jets! Thanks to my wife for understanding!

Emotionally spent after the 49ers game.

William Shatner Has Been Killed Off as the Priceline Negotiator!

Characters are killed off on TV shows and in movie franchises all the time. But have you ever heard of it happening in a COMMERCIAL? You have now. Priceline.com has killed off WILLIAM SHATNER'S character, the Priceline Negotiator, as part of a new re-branding strategy. But at least he goes out in a blaze of glory. Or, if you want to get technical, an exploding bus.

(The ad starts airing on Monday, but it's online already. Check it out)

My Prank On The WPDH Morning Show.

Yesterday I played a prank on the WPDH morning show. My friend (and fellow Giants fan) from the town police dept dropped by the studios to lend me some NY Giants swag to decorate the studio. Everyone saw him walk in alone. He left with me. One of the best on the spot pranks ever. Thank you to Coop, Kricket and Jonna Spilbor for laughing!

Utah Jazz Birthday Cake FAIL!

In case you missed it, some fans at a Utah Jazz game got a happy birthday surprise Tuesday night: And by that, I mean a sheet cake with candles was accidentally DROPPED on them from the upper deck. The team's bear mascot was standing in the front row of the second level, presenting the cake to a long-time season ticket holder. Then he tilted it so a camera could get a shot, and the cake slid off the plate and fell about 30 feet. Luckily, the people it landed on had a REALLY good sense of humor about it. They even started smearing it on each other's faces. This is priceless!!!

Brad Paisley Got a "D" in His First College Guitar Class

BRAD PAISLEY is always getting props for his mad skills on the guitar. And rightly so, he's way good. So how surprising is it to hear he got a "D" in his first guitar class at Belmont University. Brad talked about it in his book, "Diary of a Player". He wrote, quote, "I, Brad Paisley, future multiple winner of the 'Guitar Player' magazine reader's poll for best country guitarist . . . got a D in guitar." The bad grade was because Brad flaked on class, like, all the time. For some reason, his teacher had a problem with him "not even showing up or learning anything" he was told to learn.

Did Jake Owen Party So Hard That He Broke John Rich's Sink?

Thanks to Twitter, we know that JAKE OWEN went to a party at JOHN RICH'S house over the holidays. We also know that John thinks Jake busted up his sink while at the party and didn't own up to it. On Wednesday, John Tweeted, quote, "@jakeowen Dude! I fixed the sink you broke at the party here at the house I know you didn't mean it! Ha-haa! Come on back!" Jake responded with this denial, quote, "@johnrich ha-ha...That thing was broken already. That's what you get for that high tech fancy (crap)." John tagged that with this response, quote, "High tech faucet??? Ha-ha!"

Have you ever broken anything at someones house and didn't say anything about it? LOL!

What Song Was Number One the Week You Were Born?

The new thing on Facebook is people looking up the song that was number one the week they were born, then posting the video on their Facebook wall.
Even if you're too cool to participate in Facebook trends, it actually IS interesting to find out what your "Birth Song" is. To find your song, go to Wikipedia and look up 'List of number-one hits.' Then select United States, click on your birth year, and find the week you were born. Then prepare to feel old.

Blake Shelton Threatened to "Throat Punch" People Who Disrespected Kelly Clarkson.

KELLY CLARKSON started a Twitter firestorm last week when she said she "loved" RON PAUL as the Republican nominee for President. It began with this Tweet, quote, "I love Ron Paul. I liked him a lot during the last Republican nomination and no one gave him a chance. If he wins the nomination for the Republican Party in 2012 he's got my vote. Too bad he probably won't."
Unfortunately, when you talk politics, the haters come out. People started Tweeting their angry disapproval of Kelly's political views . . . with some even accusing Ron Paul of being racist and homophobic. (Really??? Come on...)
Kelly did her best to make nice. At one point she Tweeted, quote, "I am really sorry if I have offended anyone. Obviously, that was not my intent. I do not support racism." Well, Kelly's buddy BLAKE SHELTON never met a Twitter controversy he didn't like . . . so he enthusiastically jumped in. Blake Tweeted, quote, "I love you! I'll listen to your viewpoints anytime. And I really wouldn't mind throat punching someone for you either!"

Now THAT'S why I really like (and relate to) Blake Shelton! Go, Blake!

A Woman Lost Her Wedding Ring 16 Years Ago and Just Found It Growing on a Carrot in Her Garden!

Back in 1995, Lena Paahlsson of northern Sweden was baking for Christmas and her wedding ring vanished. Her family searched everywhere . . . they even pulled up the floorboards, but they couldn't find it. Now, SIXTEEN YEARS LATER, Lena was in her garden picking carrots, and found one with her RING wrapped around it. Here's what her family thinks happened: The ring fell down the drain. They fed the contents of the garbage disposal to their sheep. The ring passed through the sheep's digestive system and they used the sheep's waste to fertilize the garden. Since the ring was part of their compost, it made it into the garden, and somehow a carrot grew RIGHT THROUGH THE RING. Of course, 16 years have passed. And as it goes in marriage, the ring doesn't fit Lena's finger anymore. She says she's planning to have it resized because, quote, "I had given up hope, now that I've found it, I want to be able to use it."

John Rich Finds Irony in Scoring Six Drink Tickets on Southwest Flight!!!

Just a few weeks ago, John Rich was kicked off of a Southwest flight home to Nashville for being too drunk. So you can imagine why he found it especially ironic that while boarding yet another Southwest flight early Tuesday morning, he received not one, but six free drink tickets. “IRONY: just checked in for my Southwest flight to New Orleans, and they give me SIX drink tickets!! Its 9:30am….are they setting me up??” Rich tweeted, making light of the situation. The singer was leaving Las Vegas to return home following the American Country Awards in early December when it was decided he was too intoxicated, and thus “not fit for travel under governing federal aviation regulations.” Rich was removed from his flight by Southwest personnel and had to make other travel arrangements, but he obviously harbors no hard feelings about what went down, given his lighthearted tweetS. Rich is currently in the Big Easy to find a location to shoot a new music video. Just before boarding his flight and snagging a handful of drink coupons, the Big and Rich hitmaker tweeted some info about his latest venture, saying, “Off to New Orleans to scout locations for a video shoot on a NEW John Anderson song featuring Haggard and Willie!!! Just WAIT till you hear!”

The Volkswagen Darth Vader Ad Was Named Commercial of the Year.

Remember that Super Bowl commercial where the little kid dressed as Darth Vader thinks he can start the family Volkswagen with The Force. . . when really it's just his dad using the remote ignition? Well, "Adweek" just released their annual list of the ten best commercials that aired around the world and the Volkswagen Darth Vader commercial was number one! I laugh every time I see it.

Here it is! Enjoy!
