Should we blame the Olympics for The Hills' dip in ratings?

Should we blame the Olympics for The Hills' dip in ratings?
When season 3 of the MTV show premiered it was up 40% from season 2's premiere.
But, according to the Hollywood Reporter, there was no such growth for the season 4 premiere on Monday night.
In fact, it was down 9% in its key 12-to-34 demo (2.1 million) and down 5% among total viewers (3.5 million) when compared to its one-hour debut last year.
Do you think the coming weeks without the Olympics will provide a better test?
Or, are you guys sick of L.C. and crew?????

A country artist openly proclaiming that he's a Democrat and supporting Barack Obama!
Unheard of!!!
Toby Keith is currently promoting his new movie, Beer For My Horses, and was asked about his position in the upcoming elections.
Keith responded with, "There's a big part of America that really believes that there is a war on terrorism, and that we need to finish up."
He added, "So I thought it was beautiful the other day when Obama went to Afghanistan and got educated about Afghanistan and Iraq. He came back and said some really nice things."
And there's more.
Keith continues, "So as far as leadership and patriotism goes, I think it's really important that those things have to take place. And I think he's the best Democratic candidate we've had since Bill Clinton. And that's coming from a Democrat."
And there you have it.
Let's hope this doesn't hurt his career!
On a side note, is anyone out there even going to go watch Beer For My Horses?

Ellen is speaking out about her wedding!
In a message just released, the newly married talk show host says:
"I had a big, big weekend. I got married to Portia de Rossi! Sorry, John Stamos…this one's taken.
You may notice something different about the way I'm writing…it's fancy. This is the font I type in now that I'm MARRIED! I do a lot of things differently now …I say, "I do" a lot. For example: Who wants to do pilates? I do. Would you like a Mountain Dew? I do. Do you know why I pulled you over? I do. And that was just this morning.
The wedding was everything we hoped it would be. I wish I could've invited all of you. But I have some pictures and video I can show you when Season 6 starts on September 8th. I can't wait to see them too…it was all a blur. See you then.
Blissfully yours,
The just married Mrs. DeGeneres"
Congrats again!

Rumors have been circulating for some while now of trouble over at the Playboy Mansion.
As recently as last week reports stated that trouble was brewing with Hugh Hefner's three main girlfriends over the introduction of a brunette Ukranian model named Dasha Astafieva.
Apparently Hef has been spending plenty of time with Dasha and it's threatening the girls.
But even more interesting are the rumors that Holly and Bridgette want Kendra Wilkinson out.
Though, in a calculated PR move, the ladies quickly took to their official website pages to deny rumors that Kendra was being kicked out.
However, In Touch Weeklyis now reporting some interesting news.
Looks like Kendra might be moving out after taping the fifth season, and most likely the show's last season, of the Girls Next Door.
An insider tells the mag, "Kendra Wilkinson has been offered her own reality show about starting her life over again when she moves out of the Playboy Mansion. Hugh Hefner knows her time is coming."
Poor Holly and Bridgette. What are they going to do if Hef ever dumps them?
At least Kendra's young and cute!

On Tuesday, parole officials released the transcripts of John Lennon's killer Mark David Chapman's latest hearing.
Chapman reportedly told parole officials during his latest unsuccessful bid for release that he is ashamed and sorry for gunning down the former Beatle and that, over the years, he has come to realize the gravity of what he did, and how it affected not only Lennon, but his wife, children and anybody who knew him.
He says:
"I recognized that that 25-year-old man, I don't think he really appreciated the life that he was taking, that this was a human being. I feel now at 53 I have grown into a deeper understanding of what a human life is. I have changed a lot."
He also told the parole board that he was seeking notoriety and fame to counter feelings of failure when he decided to kill Lennon.
"I would be something other than a nobody, and that was my reasoning at the time."
Chapman has been in prison for nearly 28 years.
He was sentenced to 20 years to life after pleading guilty to the murder.
The parole board's denial means he will remain in New York's Attica Correctional Facility for at least two more years.

One of our favorite board games has just been 'modernized'!
In the new version of Clue, your favorite characters have had a little work done.
Their last names remain the same, but their first names and bios have been updated.
For example, Miss Scarlet is now Kasandra Scarlet, a famous actress often featured in tabloids. And Mr. Green is now Jacob Green, an African-American "with all the ins."
Colonel Mustard is now Jack Mustard, a former football player. And, the Professor is now Victor Plum, a billionaire video game designer.
Each character also now has a special power that could help players discover clues more quickly.
Special powers???? WTF???
Clue gets superhero!
Game maker Hasbro has also added more 'weapons', up from six to nine.
The candlestick, knife and rope remain, but now weapon choices include a dumbbell, trophy or poison.
The lead pipe, revolver and wrench are no longer part of the game.
New rooms have been included as well. There's now a theater, spa and guest house nearby.
Guest house?
How O.J-esque!
What do U think of all these changes????

So, who's got the biggest dick???
According to Forbes….
In the last year alone, Jay-Z released a platinum album and signed a $150 million deal with concert promoter Live Nation for a 10 year contract.
But 50 Cent is laughing all the way to the bank!
After taxes, 50 Cent took in over $100 million when his stake in the high-calorie VitaminWater was bought by Coca-Cola.
In total, he made over $150 million in just 12 months. That's almost double what Jay-Z made last year.
Guess it helps that 50 is also involved with G-Unit clothing, video games, and films!
And, rappers today are starting to diversify more than ever before. It's not just about the music. It's about the music, the movies, clothing lines, endorsement deals. Etc. Etc.
Whatever gets them rich quicker!
After Jay-Z, coming in third on the top of the richest hip-hop artists for 2008 is Diddy - coming in third again for the second year in a row.
Diddy brought in $35 million from all his revenue streams, like his clothing line, record label, reality shows, and the vodka he doesn't like to promote, Ciroc.
And coming in fourth on the list is Kanye West who made $30 million.
Even the rappers who haven't worked in years are making millions just living off their royalties.
Like Dr. Dre who make $15 million last year. Even Tupac brought in about $15 million and he's been dead for over 10 years.
We need to drop our rap album ASAP!
