There seems to be some controversy over a new  Bret Michaels song called “Nothin’ to Lose”.   It features 17-year-old Miley Cyrus on back-up vocals and it’s about a romance, so some of the lyrics are a little sexy.  Bret, who is 46 years old,  says all the outrage is ridiculous and said  “The part where it says she slowly gets undressed, Miley says, ‘Yeah she does.’  It has no reference to her and I.  It’s not even a duet. As God is my witness, there is nothing I have to be defensive about.  I’m a good Dad”.  Bret also added that Mileys 1st concert ever was Poison and that now, he takes his kids to her concerts. 

So what do you think?  Is it appropriate for Miley to be singing these backup lyrics?  Does age matter in a song like this?  Listen to the song below, and then post your comments.

Whitney Houston performed her first Australian gig in 12 years on Monday night and it sounds like she should have stayed home.  Many fans complained that she coughed frequently, couldn’t hit her high notes, had a raspy voice and took long breaks between songs.  She also took a water break (around 2:30 into the video) in the middle of singing “I Will Always Love You”.  Here is a clip shot by a fan in the crowd.  What do you think about it?  Leave us your comments below.  Are people being too tough on her or is she really not as good as she used to be?

In celebration of Valentine’s Day, Billboard.com has published a list of The 50 Sexiest Songs of All-Time.

It isn’t a subjective list.  It’s based on the Hot 100 chart performances of songs that feature “subject matter [that is] is directly related to sex, in some way.”

Billboard ranked the songs on an “inverse point system,” which gave songs the most points for the number of weeks they spent at #1 and the least points for the weeks they spent at #100.  The data was pulled from 1958 up through last year.

Here’s the Top 10, along with their “sexiest lyric.”

#1.)  “Physical”,  OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN  . . . “I took you to an intimate restaurant, then to a suggestive movie / There’s nothing left to talk about unless it’s horizontally.”

#2.)  “Tonight’s the Night”,  ROD STEWART . . . “You’d be a fool to stop this tide / Spread your wings and let me come inside.”

#3.)  “I’ll Make Love To You”,  BOYZ II MEN . . . “Throw your clothes, on the floor / I’m gonna take my clothes off too / I made plans to be with you.”

#4.)  “Too Close”,  NEXT . . . “Baby when we’re grinding, I get so excited / Ooh, how I like it, I try but I can’t fight it.”

#5.)  “Let’s Get It On”,  MARVIN GAYE . . . “Don’t you know how sweet and wonderful life can be? / I’m asking you, baby, to get it on with me.”

#6.)  “Hot Stuff”,  DONNA SUMMER . . . “Wanna share my love with a warm blooded lover / Wanna bring a wild man back home.”

#7.)  “Do That To Me One More Time”,  CAPTAIN & TENNILLE . . . “Do that to me one more time / Once is never enough with a man like you.”

#8.)  “Like a Virgin”,  MADONNA . . . “Oooh, like a virgin / Feels so good inside.”

#9.)  “Kiss You All Over”,  EXILE . . . “Gonna wrap my arms around you, hold you close to me / Oh, babe, I wanna taste your lips, I wanna fill your fantasy.”

#10.)  “Da You Think I’m Sexy?”,  ROD STEWART . . . “His heart’s beating like a drum ‘cos at last he’s got this girl home / Relax baby, now we are alone.”

So, by now most people have either seen the show “Hoarders” or have read about it. I will admit that I love the show.  There is nothing I like more than hearing how these people explain why they need to save old Chicken Noodle Soup cans.  Their logic is almost really convincing.  I mean, there really could be a time when Campbell’s runs out of cans and this Hoarder can save them for not being able to can soup anymore by selling them the 5,327,453 cans they have piled up in the living room.  But I digress.  The only part that bores me is when they get too deep into the therapeutic side.  The way they baby them about tossing away 20 year old stale milk isn’t as fun to listen to when a Dr. is explaining it.  Let a comedian run the show and then we will next level Hoarders.  Can you imagine the show with Chris Rock as the host?
I find it very entertaining…but something is missing.  They call it a disease that has to be treated or some other blah blah blah like that.  I put some thought into a new Hoarders type show I want to produce and want to share it with you and see what you think before I contact Hollywood.  I want to call it “Hoard-Nappers”.
Here it is in a nutshell.  People submit stuff on their friends and family who are hoarders.  We then select our little hoarder and unexpectedly show up at their house, cameras already rolling.  We ring the door bell, and as soon as they open the door…we toss a pillow case over their head, tie them up, toss them into the waiting A-Team style van outside and bring them to a holding room complete with all the furnishings and comforts of a clean home minus a phone (as we would hate for them to call the cops so early into this).
We then just bring in the garbage people and toss all their junk.  Of course, we keep and organize the good stuff for them, but we just do it in a much faster fashion without the need of a Psychologist taking it paper by paper with the hoarder in question.  I also think that every so often you send a little video back to the hoarder (who remember, is tied up in seclusion with no clue as to what is going on) to show them what we are doing.  Think of it like when on Extreme Home Makeover they show the family down in Disney World the live video of the work crew demolishing their house.  It gives the family instant closure and shows them the light at the end of the tunnel is right before them.  In our case, we could show them clips of us tossing away their collection of coupons from the 70’s, empty frozen dinner boxes and a few dead things we are sure to find.  Of course, for the 20-30 living cats still there, we would call the animal shelter to come get them and find them new homes.
Hopefully, without the hoarder around to slow down production, we can shoot an episode in 1 day.  At the end of the day, we put the hoarder back in the van and drive them home.  When we drop them off, we tell them to count to 100 before they remove the pillowcase (as we want to make a clean break).  Of course we would already have installed hidden cameras in the house so we can see their reaction to the “reveal” (as they call it on Extreme Home Makeover).  Imagine their surprise as they take off the pillowcase and see their home clean and organized!  It would be the same reaction us non-hoarders would be if we walked into our house to find it looking like a dump.
The only downfall I can see in this idea is the potential to be charged with kidnapping, breaking and entering and possibly theft but I have to think if the person called the Police, what would they really say?  Someone kidnapped me for the day, brought me to a fully furnished room and cleaned my house?  They threw away all of my dead animals and old 2 liter soda bottles?  I have to think the Police would think it was a joke and hang up on them.
So there you have it.  THAT is my great idea.  If you want to be a part of “Hoard-Nappers”, let me know.  Production starts as soon as my boss gives me the green light.

So here we are a week or so into 2010 and as usual, all I hear about are New Years Resolutions. People talking about how they are going to lose weight, stop smoking, get out of debt, finally use that gym membership they’ve been paying for but never use and the list goes on and on and on. Do you want to know what my New Years Resolution is? Simple. Nothing.

I used to be one of those people who made a list of things I wanted to change in the New Year, but, there is only so much faliure one can take! I mean, how many people really have lost the weignt they wanted, stopped eating crap, stopped smoking etc.? The majority of us FAIL! Why set yourself up, right?

Besides, the more I thought about it, why do we need that date of January 1st to start making a difference in our lives? If I decide in June that I want to eat better, what good is it if I say “Well, once it is January 1, I’m going to eat better…but until then, let me enjoy another Popeye’s biscuit”. That leaves me 6 months of eating crap! By the time January comes around, I’ve probably hoarded more biscuits then normal out of fear that I will be giving them up! Now, I’ve packed on 20 more pounds I need to lose and then when I fail at “going to the gym” to lose weight, I’ll still be carrying around that “extra” 20 pounds!

If you really want to change something about yourself, why do you need a date? Just do it now and get the faliure over with so you can move on! Why stress out about it and hold yourself to these crazy timeframes? Seriously, I’m probably paying for 4-5 gym memberships based on New Years Resolutions. This year, now that I’m a “realist”, I did not sign up anywhere! When the time is right and I really want to go to the gym, they will still be there. If I ever want to really cutback on the crap I digest, fruit will still be there. If you smokers really want to quit, the patch isn’t going anywhere. Your lungs however, I can’t help you there. It isn’t like there is a lung store, but, I digress.

Frank Costanza had Festivus to celebrate Christmas without participating in the pressure and commercialization of the holiday. I think we need to create one for New Years Day so we can just enjoy the day off from work without feeling the pressure to make a New Years Resolution. I don’t know what to call it, but am open to ideas. Let’s start the movement now! What do ya’ think?
