Yeah, I had to get that plug in there.

So, its back to work this week. --rolls eyes-- Hope you all have a good day!

Eye Candy 1/3

Female Hottie: Rachel McAdams

Rachel McAdams burst on the scene in movies like The Notebook. Mean Girls, and The Wedding Crashers. Along the way she hooked up with actor Ryan Gosling for a bit and has had a pretty nice career. Currently she can be seen in Sherlock Holmes. Although I prefer her as a brunette, rather than a blonde, with beauty like that, I don't understand why we don't see more of her.

Male Hottie: Chace Crawford

This Zac Efron wannabe that is this week's male hottie is Chace Crawford. Currently, he's starring on Gossip Girl and will be seen in the upcoming Footloose remake. Apparently this guy is one of those "hot guys to watch".

note: ladies, if you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to suggest them for this this spot

Random Hottie from a movie or TV show seen this week: Anjelah Johnson

Alvin & the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel is responsible for bringing us this week's random hottie, Anjelah Johnson. The latina lovely recently had a special on Comedy Central, as well as a brief stint on MadTV. Fans of the Oakland Raiders saw plenty of her when she was a cheerleader. Let's hope that her career takes off and we get to see what she can really do. She can't just be another pretty face (even though, she is quite fetching).

MILF: Rebecca Romijn

From model to actress, Rebecca Romijn has been melting hearts for years now. Her most memorable role has to be Mystique from the X-Men movies, but she's had some pretty good ones. Too bad about Eastwick getting cancelled, though. She was really starting to come into her own. If she appears a bit heavier than we normally see her, its because she gave birth to twins in '08, and is no longer on the model diet (a corner of a leaf of lettuce every 3 days...lol). Personally, I think she looks better with a little meat on her bones, but then again, I don't think there is much that could make this woman look bad. What was John Stamos thinking?

Classic/Retro Hottie: Lark Voorhies

Best known as Lisa Turtle from Saved By the Bell, Lark Voorhies worked hard to erase that image, but, like most of the cast, has come to embrace the legacy. After Bell, she went on to star in a couple of soap operas (Days of Our Lives, Bold & the Beautiful), but left because of conflicts with her religious beliefs. she has also starred in a few movies, and is rumored to portray Whitney Houston in an upcoming biopic. These days she is producing music and film, and always has an eye out for her next project.

Wal-Mart

a friend forwarded this to me, so I figured I'd share...it actually gave a couple of chuckles...lol

1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart every hour of every day.

2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!

3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March
17th) than Target sells all year.

4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target + Sears +
Costco + K-Mart combined.

5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest private
Employer, and most speak English.

6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the World.

7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger & Safeway combined, and
keep in mind they did this in only 15 years.

8. During this same period, 31 Supermarket Chains sought bankruptcy.

9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.

10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are
Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had 5 Years ago.

11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur
At a Wal-Mart store. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5
Billion.)

12. 90% of all Americans live within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart.

You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground
work for suggesting that.....

MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to fix the economy
because the two political parties in Washington sure haven't done it!

Happy New Year
