After being in NASCAR ten years, Tony Stewart finally tamed the “lady in black” Friday night with his win in the Nationwide Series’ Diamond Hill Plywood 200!

To say the least, Stewart was thrilled.

“At the start of this year, there were still four tracks I haven’t won at and it was California, Las Vegas, Talladega and here (Darlington) and thanks to Dave and the guys on this 20 car on the Nationwide side, we’ve conquered three and should have won the fourth one, but not to be greedy, get four this year and three at the tracks that I haven’t won at, it’s, man with the rich heritage and history at Darlington, to win here and be the first guy to win after they resurfaced here, it’s a feeling that’s hard to describe. It’s just cool to win at Darlington.

It’s just fun, this series is so deep in history in general and this is one of those tracks that it’s history goes as deep as NASCAR and to finally win here, it’s just a huge honor to me.

Crew Chief Dave Rogers also had something good to say about Tony.

I saw Tony Stewart drive probably one of the smartest races I’ve seen here at Darlington.

I’m naturally a red head. Well, it’s brown with red in it but I usually dye it so that it’s just brown. Sometimes I’ll go red, but that’s only if I’m in an quirky mood.

Enchanted’s Amy Adams on the other hand, says that going red has changed her life.

“I’ve had red hair for the past four years. Before that I never thought of being anything but blonde. There was a definite shift in my life when I decided to go red. When you’re blonde, people associate it all with being flirty. With red hair, suddenly you’re quirky.”

Yep, red hair is awesome!

You may have heard about it and maybe you haven’t.

VH1 has taken the girls from “Rock of Love,” “Flavor of Love” and the guys from “I Love New York” and giving them what they really want… a chance at money! Not just a little bit of money, but a $250,000 grand prize.

The casting special airs July 6 on VH1, but what you really want to know is who’s on the show, right? (more…)

I totally forgot to post yesterday. Apparently my surgery is postponed until next week. My oral surgeon wanted to take Mother’s Day off (well the Friday anyway), so yeah, no surgery today. I’m just so ready to get all of this over with, you have no idea.

Other than that, life has been kind of…. interesting. I’ve been working on the planner for my little “internship” thingy, working in the Student Life office, and just being lazy. I wrote some on “Long Trip Alone” and I made some new icons. (more…)

Thanks to MariahDaily.com for the People Magazine interview:

With just a few friends on hand (and four boxes of Maine lobster), surprise couple Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon tie the knot at a sunset ceremony on the beach in the Bahamas

They hadn’t even gone public with their relationship–in fact, they had only recently begun seeing each other–when Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon decided to take the plunge. “We got tattoos!” says Carey. “His is on one shoulder to the other and it says ‘Mariah.’” And hers? “It’s on my lower back and it says ‘Mrs. Cannon,’” she says. Only after that did they ink a marriage license–and pull off the surprise wedding of the year. Carey and singer-actor Cannon first met in 2005 at the Teen Choice Awards but only started dating in late March. Just weeks later, to the shock of a lot of their friends and family, they whisked off to Carey’s Bahamian estate and wed in a sunset, ocean-side ceremony April 30. While still on their honeymoon, the giddy newlyweds spoke exclusively to People’s Liz McNeil about their whirlwind courtship, Cannon’s candy-themed proposal and–yep–having kids.

So, how does it feel to be married?
Mariah: [Laughing] Who wants to go first? You go first.
Nick: It feels amazing. My cheeks hurt from smiling so hard. I’ve been smiling for days.
Mariah: It’s comforting–and something I’ve never felt before. Which is really being in love and happy with someone who really understands me and isn’t trying to do anything but make me happy. It’s wonderful. (more…)

According to MSN:

“Rock of Love With Bret Michaels,” VH1 (2007-2008)
Poison front man Michaels auditions “ladies” to be his “rock of like, rock of lust and rock of love.” Tall order, that. The show has the usual elements of contemporary dating shows: contestant debasement, foul language, a very questionable goal — but somehow it transcends the genre. The season finale was the best hour of TV this year, with tattooed “adult star” Daisy wracked with sobs while polished “TV personality” Ambre bobbed her coiffed head with poise. The interaction between the two finalists was rich (”God, Ambre, quit calling me a stripper!” “Daisy, that’s your job! That’s what you do!”). Because Daisy lost, I predict next season will feature her own show, “Bump and Grind of Love.”

Who went home tonight?!? (more…)

I’m sitting up here at the newspaper office, working on the student planner for my internship this summer. I got my grades today and I passed Media Ethics! Yee-haw. LMAO. Yee-haw? wtf? I made one A, four B’s, and one C. *does the Hammer.

Now I must go back to designing the planner because I have to be at the doctor near Tallahassee at 7:30 in the morning. *yawn*

In the closing laps of last night’s Richmond night race, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., the driver of the #88 National Guard / Amp Energy Drink Chevy was closing in on his first win in two years.

Just then, Kyle Busch, the driver of the #18 Pedigree Toyota, drove up under him and “got loose”, promting Earnhardt, Jr. to spin, hit the wall and ultimately, causing him to lose the race.
