It must be hard to be an over-40 sex symbol.  For years, Pamela Anderson was one of the most beautiful and famous women in the world.  As lifeguard CJ Parker, 43-year-old Anderson went from little-known Playboy Playmate to international megastar in the blink of an eye.  Then, Baywatch ended its legendary run, and Anderson’s star slowly came back to earth.  She’s still a big deal, relatively speaking, but once upon a time she’d never do something like what she’s doing now.  Pamela Anderson is set to jet to India to join India’s version of Big Brother.

Anderson will be joining the Indian program Bigg Boss for an unspecified time, meaning she’ll be flying to India to an undisclosed location near Mumbai for the taping of the world’s most popular reality television program.  It makes me wonder which TV star visiting is a bigger deal for India:  Anderson or Obama?  I’m thinking Anderson; the average Indian might be vaguely aware of President Obama, but Anderson?  She was EVERYWHERE in the late 90’s.  Baywatch was watched by 1.1 billion people at its peak; she ought to have a Q rating off the charts even on the subcontinent.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
