Record labels tend not to like it when you fail to produce hit songs for them. I’m guessing that’s why Sony Music Epic has dropped Jennifer Lopez. Her last several singles have failed to garner any kind of response, and they’ve shelved her 7th album “Love?” which was originally scheduled to come out in April.

“Glee” is the surprise hit sensation of the television season so far, and the cast has now been invited by Michelle Obama to perform at the White House’s Easter Egg Roll this year. The cast, according to their gleeful (pun TOTALLY intended) tweets, are over the moon about the invitation and can’t wait to put on a show for the President and First Lady.

Ice, ice baby! We knew that Hilary Duff was sporting a rock after becoming engaged to boyfriend, NHL player Mike Comrie, but now that the price tag has been revealed, our jaws have hit the floor! The Duffster’s bling cost a whopping million bucks! How girlfriend is walking around without toppling over under the weight of that thing since she can’t even lift a sandwich to her mouth with that bony little hand is beyond me!

Matt Kemp sure did go through a lot of trouble to throw a banging birthday bash for his FRIEND Rihanna over the weekend. The party took place in Phoenix, where Kemp is training, and pulled out all the stops – including a lap dance for Rihanna from a little person porn star! Now THAT is a birthday to remember. Though, I’m not sure you’d want to remember that.

27 THINGS YOU’LL NEVER HEAR OUT OF A GUY’S MOUTH

If you’re a woman, you’ve pretty much never heard your guy say, “not tonight, honey.” Why you ask? Because “I’m too tired” doesn’t seem to be in the Guy Vocabulary. Ever wonder what else is not in a man’s vocab? Here you go… It’s a list of phrases you’ll never, ever hear come out of a guy’s mouth … at least not with a straight face.

1. “Not tonight. I’m just not in the mood.”

2. “Cover up, sweetie. You are leaving nothing to the imagination!”

3. “Let’s throw the rest of that bacon away so we’re not tempted to eat it.”

4. ”Tila Tequila? Oh yeah, I’d do her.”

5. “I should throw these socks away. They are disgusting.”

6. “Don’t sweat it; I’ll pay off your credit card balance.”

7. “We should totally get tickets to that Taylor Swift concert!”

8. “I’m not really into blow jobs.”

9. “My friends think I’m a Miranda, but I really think I’m a Carrie.”

10. “It’s OK, honey, I’ll do the laundry.”

11. “How about a rom-com?”

12. “Models just seem really vain and superficial to me. Why would you want to be around that?”

13. “‘The View’ was better when Rosie was on it.”

14. “Wow, my handlebar mustache looks really stupid.”

15. “Just a garden salad with dressing on the side, please.”

16. “Let’s go pick out a new bath mat today.”

17. “I know you’ve been on the pill for awhile, but I really think we should wear a condom.”

18. “We should offer to babysit your sister’s kid Saturday night. It’ll be so fun!”

19. “It’s so not fair at family gatherings when all the women clear the table and do the dishes after we eat, while the men sit at the table and keep talking. I’m going to help out next time!

20. “I think you should buy another purse.”

21. “This is way too spicy for me.”

22. “Wow, Tyra’s talk show is great!”

23. “$350 is a totally reasonable price for that tee shirt.”

24. “Your boobs look too big in that shirt.”

25. “American Apparel’s Best Bottom In The World contest was such a terrible idea.”

26. “We shouldn’t prank him — that would be so mean!”

27. “Can I join your book club?”

WHAT YOUR COFFEE SAYS ABOUT YOU

Coffee snobs can find more than froth and sugar at the bottom of their cups – personality lives there as well. While strolling out of a cafe on the way to work, that cup of coffee in your hand is actually emitting hidden meanings to passers-by. In their new book, The You Code, body language experts Judi James and James Moore translate what our caffeine preferences reveal about our self esteem, stress levels and even sex life.

THE ESPRESSO DRINKER – Espresso drinkers tend to be moody, hard-bitten and hard working. They are into leadership and fast goals. They don’t suffer fools but are hard living and prone to “night-time shenanigans, followed by a rather louche attempt at day time repair”. The espresso drinker can be an experienced, exciting and consummate lover but is not known for reliability or unswerving loyalty.

THE BLACK COFFEE DRINKER – This type is all about minimalism and takes a no-frills, direct approach to life. The black coffee drinker can be quiet and moody but prone to brief bursts of extroversion. A difficult but potentially rewarding friend, colleague or partner.

THE LATTE DRINKER – Typically metrosexuals or cuddly-toy collectors, latte drinkers are pleasers with an overwhelming compulsion to be liked. A latte drinking boss will use a baby voice to tell you off. Latte drinkers reveal that while they may want to come across as hot-shot contenders, they have an immature side.

THE CAPPUCCINO DRINKER – What’s not to like about the extroverted, optimistic cappuccino drinker? Like their drink, cappuccino drinkers are all froth and bubble, bored by detail and liking – but not obsessed with – material objects. The cappuccino drinker enjoys sex but is easily bored by an unimaginative partner.

THE FRAPPUCINO DRINKER – Flighty and shallow, the frappucino drinker will try anything once – especially if a celebrity has done it first. They fancy themselves as trend setters but send out the message that they are someone who favors style over substance. The frappucino drinker’s relationships often last as long as their drink choice.

THE NON-COFFEE DRINKER – Unfortunately, the verdict isn’t good… Frightened of coffee equals frightened of life. If the taste of coffee puts you off you really are a child, and it’s time to join the world of grown-ups.

SPORTS BEING LOBBIED FOR THE 2012 SUMMER OLYMPICS

If you have been scratching your head trying to figure out the finer points of curling, perhaps you’d be more interested in watching Olympic pole dancers compete for the gold? This is not a joke … competitive pole dancers are lobbying for a spot in the 2012 Olympics. Due to rapid national and international growth, these moves once relegated to seedy strip joints are now being recognized as an up-and-coming athletic event.

You can’t help but wonder what the costumes would look like. I’m not so certain that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is quite ready to say yes to strappy platform shoes and tassels quite yet, but if they did, it would certainly be interesting. Here are some more sports that think they deserve a spot in the Olympics and what’s been decided.

• Cheerleading: There was nothing for competitive cheerleaders to rah rah about when their IOC application, to be considered for the 2012 Olympics, was denied. But these cheerleaders won’t let their perky smiles fade … maybe 2016 will be their year to do back flips? (Wiki Answers)

• Golf: It’s bad news for the sport of golf in 2012. The IOC decided that there will be no holes-in-one at the 2012 Olympics, but they are planning on letting athletes tee up in 2016. Tiger Woods should be out of sex rehab by then. (World Golf)

• Karate: Even though karate was one of the final two nominees by the IOC, the martial art failed to chop through with two-thirds of the vote. Because those who practice karate are non-violent, no one at the IOC will be harmed. (Associated Content)

• Women’s Boxing: It’s a TKO for the fiercest of the fierce female boxers. After many rounds of petitions, they will be competing in five weight categories in the 2012 Olympics. (Guardian)

• Squash: Professional squash players’ dreams were squashed after their campaign to be an Olympic sport was denied by the IOC. (BBC)

WOMEN AND THEIR SECRET TURN-ONS

Do you like strictly tall, dark and handsome men, or does your taste tend to deviate just a bit from the norm? In a recent study of 2,500 women, it was revealed that women name “facial stubble,” a “geeky personality,” and a “hairy chest” as their top three “secret turn-ons.” Other traits included in the top ten were: “grey hair, glasses and being a passionate supporter of a sports team.” Men may be relieved to learn that over half the women polled said they prefer a man who Is “soft and cuddly instead of toned and muscley.” Perhaps most interesting is that one in five women polled would not even reveal what their biggest secret turn-on in a man is. – Oh, come on! How strange could it be?

Hairy Chest… Really?

SHOULD I MARRY MY POOR BOYFRIEND?

Woman is concerned she’ll end up being the bread-winner in the relationship and doesn’t know if she should marry her BF knowing he’ll never make as much money as she does… “I’m 28 and have been dating my 34-year-old boyfriend for almost two years. This relationship was “hot and heavy” from the get-go because our personalities really clicked and he is the first man I have ever loved. However, I regret moving in with him a year ago. Not because I don’t love him, but because I’m not sure he can give me the type of life I want.

When we met, we made the same amount of money. However, now I’m way above him in salary and I’m also going back to school for my Masters (I’ve always been an over-achiever). My future looks very bright compared to his. He lost his previous job and his current job pays barely enough to cover his minimum monthly expenses! The worst part is I’m not sure I have faith in his professional money-making abilities.

If I stay with him, I can totally see a life where I’m bringing home the bacon while he’s the stay-at-home dad … which might be nice for some women, but that is NOT the life for me. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want him to support me. I simply would like my life partner to be able to pull his own weight and possibly “carry” me temporarily should I need it — and I would do the same for him. Bottom line, I don’t feel safe financially with him, but I do love him. Should I marry him (and carry all the financial responsibility) or break up with him (and risk never finding another man who loves me as much)?” – Seriously, if you love him like you say you do, you’d get over it. One word, toots, SHALLOW!!
