A Fight To The Finish Over Thin Mints - And A Your Turn

I have a confession. I am a sucker for Girl Scout cookies. I don't want my neighborhood Girl Scouts to know what an easy mark I am so I limit my purchasing with them to five boxes each. There are three of them who currently get my business. But there are ways to satisfy my cravings and I have discovered them all. There are usually one or two co-workers who have a daughter in Scouts. Those are worth five boxes each. Grocery stores are my place though. The kids sitting out at tables with their parents with boxes of cookies stacked high are my greatest weakness. "Oh, are you selling cookies? Well, look I just happen to have an extra $50 with me and would be happy to take all those Samoas off your hands."

See, the cookies have to be Samoas. Sometimes, if they can be found I will have the two boxes that are not in the big six. Did you know there are 8 and not 6? Yep. Not in every area though.

As much as I love them though, I don't think I would fight over them. Sure, a minor tussle once broke out when someone thought they had claim to the last box of Samoas in the freezer, but I let my dad have them. Free rent after all.

In Florida this week, two female roommates got into a fight when one of them accused the other of pilfering her thin mints. Really? Thin mints are popular, but not with me. There was beating with hands and fists and one of the women who weighs 400 pounds allegedly jumped on the other. Oh, there was also some scissor threatening. I have the solution. Make sure you have lots of boxes.

I have to ask. What are your favorite kind?

Eating A Pizza A Day Saves Your Life

Forget about that whole eat an apple a day to keep the doctor away. The only apples I eat are swathed in pie or cobblers. That counts doesn't it? Oh, and turnovers. Apple martinis. Can't forget that. Anyway, I am losing track here and getting very hungry. Never before though has there ever been research that indicates that if you eat a large pizza everyday that you will live longer. Well, there is now research saying just that. Kind of. Ok, not really, but someone who eats a large Domino's pizza everyday did get their life saved by their delivery person.

For the past three years, an 82 year old woman who must have the largest appetite of any 82 year old woman has ordered a large thin crust pepperoni pizza and two diet cokes. So, when the woman had not called in three days, her regular delivery got worried and went over to the woman's house. No one answered the door when the driver knocked so she called 911. Paramedics and police found the woman alive, but on the floor.

So, the point of all this, besides the happy ending is to make sure you get a pizza everyday. I would say two, but I only do that when there is some kind of special.

Speaking of which, even though there are always these ads for low cost pizzas from chains, doesn't it always seem like your pizza bill is the same as it was five years ago?

Tuesday's Blind Item

If there was ever a time for a paternity test, this husband of a B list television actress who has been in the business since she was a teen should make sure there is one when the baby is born. At this point I would venture to say the odds are no better than 50/50 that he is the father.

Life & Style Spends The Big Bucks

I cannot even count or remember all of the pregnant celebrities right now. I do know that 95% of them have a much higher celebrity than Kim Zolciak. So, it boggles the mind that out of anyone Life & Style could throw a few bucks at for almost naked pregnancy photos, they chose Kim. I mean seriously? Is your budget that small that all you can afford is Kim? Imagine you are at your checkout stand and this is not even about buying a magazine. This is just about which magazine you are going to pick up and flip through really quickly while you are waiting to check out. Is the one with Kim Zolciak the one you are going to pick up? And buying it? Forget about it. All this does is make the magazine look like they are some kind of third rate almost tabloid who can't land someone everyone knows. I know they are not going to snag Natalie Portman, but you would think they could get somebody besides Kim.

Alex Pettyfer Is A Psycho

Who knew that Alex Pettyfer was such a crazy guy? The former boyfriend of Dianna Agron and who I thought was her fiancee' but apparently just her living together partner has Dianna so scared she moved out of the home they shared and is hiding in a hotel under an alias. One of Dianna's friends says that Alex has been acting like a psycho loose cannon since the split. Last week, Alex got into an argument with some guy at a club because he thought the guy had been hooking up with Dianna.

Apparently Alex has also been threatening Dianna in various phone calls. Well, I am glad she got out. This sounds really scary.

Jon & Kate?

Just when Jon Gosselin is getting his life on track and working a real job and has got some normality back into his life comes the rumor mill. The rumor mill according to PopEater is that Jon & Kate are considering getting back together. Huh? That would be the worst idea ever. Sure, TLC would pass out from orgasming so much, but the rest of the world and the kids could probably do without it. At this point, the kids have enough money to put them through college and probably some extra for after. If Kate wants to keep trying to be on television, then that is her choice. Also, doesn't Jon still have that girlfriend of his. How would all that work with him getting back together with Kate?

Do We Need Another Talent Show?

Mark Burnett's new NBC show The Voice has some judges. They are supposedly going to include Cee-Lo Green and Adam Levine. Both good choices, but in my opinion the world needs another talent show like it needs a Kardashian holiday Christmas show. Oh, I hope I didn't put that out there Secret wise. Can you take those things back or are they out there forever? American Idol is already lower in its ratings than it has ever been. X Factor starts soon. Throw in The Voice and the various dance competitions and America's Got Talent and I think the genre has pretty much run its course. What would make all of this truly come full circle is if we could somehow combine vampires singing while competing on primetime game show.

Monday's Blind Item

This former A list singer and now frequent stumbler has been spending some quality time with her boyfriend and a webcam. No, they don't webcam with each other. Instead, they have signed up for a service that has couples watching each other have sex over webcam. Her ex hated it. Her new boyfriend loves it. Probably also helps that he gets that monthly stipend.
