Last night, while walking past the television, I saw the new Ray LaMontagne song, “Beg Steal Or Borrow,” playing on television.  It was just a brief snippet, then they introduced Cee-lo Green’s incredible “F— You” and its amazingly funny radio edit.  As it turns out, what program I was walking by was the announcement of the 2011 Grammy Awards Nominees.  I didn’t stay for the whole thing, as I don’t geek out on the Grammys like I do the Oscars, but it’s always interesting to know what new music is out there.  MTV has the complete list of 2011 Grammy Awards nominees.

Apparently, the above mentioned artists are nominated for Song Of The Year, alongside Eminem, Miranda Lambert, and Lady Antebellum.  It was far from Eminem’s only nomination.  The Detroit rapper picked up a staggering 10 Grammy nominations, for Em picked up a staggering 10 Grammy nods, including Song and Record of the Year for “Love the Way You Lie” (which also got Best Rap Song nomination), Album of the Year and Rap Album of the Year for Recovery, Best Rap Solo Performance for “Not Afraid,” and even Pop Collaboration With Vocals (for B.o.B’s “Airplanes Part II”).

That’s a whole lot of Grammys right there.  The closest behind him is Bruno Mars, with seven, followed by Jay-Z, Lady Antebellum, and Lady Gaga with six.  I hope Em doesn’t pull a Taylor Swift and break one of his Grammys (and I hope Kanye West can keep his seat.)

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.
