Ali G


Will the real Ali G please stand up.

Yup, they are all the same man Sacha Baron Cohen. He just wrapped up a second season of his hit HBO show -- The Ali G show. Each week you laugh out loud watching him interview famous people (who don't realize he is playing a goofy character...) and basically mocks them. One of our favorites was when he said that Saddam Hussein "was using BLTs on the Kurds" while interviewing a bewildered Patrick Buchanan. When he interviewed former EPA leader, Christine Todd Whitman he got her to concede that, yes, whale feces "have got to be massive".


Check him out on HBO or watch a few clips from the show.

BRITNEY MARRIES FOR 2nd TIME IN 9 MONTHS
You can only imagine the headlines...Oops She Did it Again, Will It Last Longer 55 hours?...etc.

Anyway Britney is now a step mom to Kevin Federline's two children, a 2-year-old and a newborn. One can only imagine the bliss this couple will have. We would expect this puts her back on the top of the Lycos 50 next week.

The lawsuit is basically about who stole the idea from who. Regardless, now is the perfect time to check them out for your self and decide which one is best.

DAILY DILEMMA: WHAT TO COOK FOR DINNER?
Don't think we know anyone that couldn't use a bit of help when it comes to new ideas for dinner. If I have hot dogs and beans one more night I'm gonna go crazy...but I digress.

The amount of diet menu searches we see every day in the logs is astronomical because we know people leverage the web to find innovative, delicious and healthy meals. Here is a great shortcut. The folks over at Hotbot created a really cool product. Try it out and tell me how many compliments you get on your new dish!

AND THE NEW JAMES BOND IS....
...Dougray Scott.
Hey Y'all, back from a great holiday - refreshed and relaxed...thanks for sticking with us.

Big entertainment news today is that British actor Dougray Scott will be the seventh actor to play Bond on the big screen for the 23rd Bond film, scheduled for release in late 2005. You might recognize him from his past lead film roles in Enigma, Mission Impossible 2 or Ever After.

Interesting fact about Scott was that he was originally picked to play Wolverine in the X-men movies but because of delays during Mission Impossible he wasn't able to take the role. The Wolverine role ultimately went to Australian actor Hugh Jackman. Jackman was also up for this Bond role in an interesting twist of fate.

FOOD EATING CONTESTS
One of the best scenes from Rob Reiner's classic film Stand By Me, is a memorable pie eating contest. Living in NYC one can't ever forget the ultimate food contest...Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.

The winner (above middle) ate 53 1/2 Nathan's Hot Dogs and Buns in 12 minutes. So we were amazed when we discovered the very official International Federation of Competitive Eating site. We just have to keep reminding ourselves, when you check out past competitions and winners, is that this is no movie...

GREEK APHRODISIAC
Greek food happens to be something I know a bit about... The delicious Baklava with a history traced back to the eighth century, BC is a go-to dessert in our home...Especially if you are looking for a bit of romance.

There are many good recipes online but one that is good comes from Greek Senator Olympia Snowe .

Between the Olympics and 'anything Greek' searches on the rise this dessert is all the rage...
