Beyonce shows off her growing baby bump.

Last night’s MTV Video Music Awards was a night to celebrate lives, both new and departed.  While the VMAs were ostensibly a tribute to the late Amy Winehouse, with artists covering her songs and paying tribute to her, there was also a celebration of life (and the requisite Lady Gaga craziness).  The biggest announcement of last night’s VMAs?  Beyonce is pregnant and expecting her first child with rap mogul Jay-Z.

That’s right, the first family of urban music is about to grow by one.  Meanwhile, on the Lady Gaga front, the weird songstress actually didn’t appear.  Instead, she was replaced by a rapper named Jo Calderone–who just happens to be Lady Gaga in drag–at the gala at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, Californa.  Gaga also won two Moonmen awards, for female video of the year and video with a message.

British songbird Adele won three awards; Katy Perry also took home three statues, including the coveted Video Of The Year award for Firework.  Also taking home awards were Justin Bieber, Foo Fighters, and Britney Spears, who won the MTV Vanguard Awards (and picked up a VMA for her song Till The World Ends in the process).

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.
