We all know it wouldn't be right to pile on the "We Hate Britney Spears" bandwagon, right?
Ummmm - have you seen our show?
Even Britney's friends don't want you to buy her album. According to an Australian news site, her friends are asking her fans not to buy the new "Blackout" album - until Britney gets some help.
You can check out the article here.
And speaking of Britney... she's making a list of the Top "Unsexiest" Women.
The Maxim Magazine list is made up of mainly good-looking and attractive women, but who have had their share of rough days - caught on camera. It's such a rough life.
The top five list looks like this:
5 - Britney Spears
4 - Madonna
3 - Sandra Oh
2 - Amy Winehouse (oh wait, she's been attractive?)
1 - Sarah Jessica Parker
That's right the big star from Sex in the City, is number one on the "Unsexiest Woman Alive" list. If you'd like to check out the list for yourself, click here.
Later!

Hola
Hey Guys,
Okay, so we started our morning show blog. First off -- thanks for stopping by! And be sure to spread the word.
I will try and keep up with my postings. But with a nine-month old at home, that still doesn't sleep through the night, I can't make any promises :)
Many thanks to the Day Break organization in Hickory. I was their guest speaker today. We had a ton of fun talking about the balancing act we all play in juggling our lives as a parent, spouse and career person.
This Saturday I am attending an event that I am really excited about. I'll have more details about it Monday morning, so be sure to tune in.
But here's a hint -- it involves the Charlotte Bobcats, Presbyterian Hospital and a unique service being offered to children who may not receive medical care on a regular basis.
Well that's it for now.
Thanks again for logging on..

...to accept the things I cannot change and the courage to change the things I can...
It's stories like the massive fires out in southern California that make working in the news a difficult thing. So much destruction, and so many lives ruined within a matter of days...and for some people - hours or even minutes.
But we do it...it's our job. We strive to give you the information you need to stay well informed of the world around you. We don't always like, or agree, with the story we are reporting, but we do it.
Its videos like this that show that some put it all out there for the viewer. Watch as Larry Himmel from San Diego's CBS8, reports live from the fires - in front of his own burning home!
Larry goes live again, after the fire is over, and you can see the destruction.
----------
And in another wow-type moment... a 911 operator in Charleston, SC gets a call that she will never forget...her son has been shot!

Traffic Problems...Who's At Fault?
Chuck Roads does a great job keeping us up to date on traffic problems...and this morning, there were plenty. The streets were wet...and that always means trouble in Charlotte.
Here's the question I have...are most accidents unavoidable and just can't be prevented?
There were at least three accidents along I-85 south this morning that created some incredible backups and slow downs. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people were affected. Were those accidents unavoidable...or were they caused by drivers who weren't paying attention...or going too fast for conditions...or otherwise weren't focused on being safe drivers?
Just the other day...I got caught up in a terrible backup on I-85. Took me three times longer to get home from work. Turns out it was caused by a driver who was following too close...and hit the guy in front of him. That caused a huge traffic backup. All because some idiot can't drive!
Is anyone getting as fed up as I am over drivers who needlessly create major traffic problems? What can be done about it? Any ideas out there?

When everything feels like the movies...
Looking for something new and fun to watch with the family?
Well - here's a look at the newest DVD's hitting the store shelves.
"Meet the Robinsons"
This movie is an animated time-traveling adventure, featuring the voice talents of Angela Bassett, Tom Selleck and Laurie Metcalf. The movie follows the exploits of a young inventor whisked into the future, where he teams up with a family of oddballs to take on a villain in a bowler hat.
Among the DVD extras are a handful of deleted scenes, a segment on how the film was developed from the work of children's author William Joyce, and a featurette on Walt Disney and other visionaries whose advances changed the world.
"Mr. Brooks"
This movie stars Kevin Costner as a serial killer. He plays a seemingly upright citizen, who commits a string of mass murders and taunts police. William Hurt co-stars as Brooks' Jekyll-and-Hyde evil alter ego, with Demi Moore playing a cop on the killer's trail and Dane Cook playing a witness who wants a taste of the
perpetrator's bloody glory.
The DVD has deleted footage, threemaking-of featurettes and commentary.
"Hostel: Part II"
This movie comes to home video after failing to make a splash in theaters. In this sequel, three American women studying in Europe meet up with an art-class model who baits them into a murder-for-pleasure den.
Also debuting in a two-disc DVD set and single-disc Blu-ray edition is the director's cut of the original "Hostel," with an alternate ending, four commentary tracks and a full disc of interviews and background featurettes.
"Stanley Kubrick"
This DVD features five Kubrick films in a fresh boxed-set treatment, with high-definition HD DVD and Blu-ray releases. The 10-DVD set has remastered two-disc versions of "2001: A Space Odyssey," "A Clockwork Orange," "The Shining" and "Eyes Wide Shut," plus a single-disc release of "Full Metal Jacket" and a disc with the documentary "Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures."
If television is more your speed...this week's TV on DVD releases include:
- The Sopranos: Season Six, Part II
- The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Volume One
- The L Word: The Complete Fourth Season
- Veronica Mars: The Complete Third Season
- NCIS: The Fourth Season

It's a Mile High Concert and a Tour Bus Catches Fire!
John and Lenise scoured the internet, for the stories you just had to see - and here's what they found.
John found a story about a concert on Mt. Everest, where everyone had to get "high" - to get there!
Lenise found video of a tour bus catching fire in Ohio - scary stuff!
And here's an "Ooops Moment" that we found on YouTube. Marie Osmond passes out on live television on "Dancing with the Stars"
