- The end of Michael Scott?

- One of my favorite internet games is playing “where are they now?” Today’s edition: Old school WWF wrestlers (HA – the Ultimate Warrior is now a right-wing commentator who writes a blog called, “Warrior’s Machete”!)

- Issues sleeping? Try magic toothpaste (sh*t – does that mean I have to brush my teeth at night, too!?)

- Again tonight is Conan’s last night in the 12:35 slot, so here’s the inevitable list of top 15 moments from the show (and yes, “Rock Band” is my personal favorite)

Extra Slice – Video: One more Conan entry for the week – his hilarious introduction when he hosted the Emmys in 2006

- I saw it today with my own two eyes: Times Square icon Virgin Megastore is shutting down after 13 years. Rumor is a Forever 21 is coming in

- Chris Brown really did a number on Rhianna (It’s a very sad image, but I wanted to share it because it shows you what a fucking monster this kid – he’s only 19 -  is)

- How the hell did Jimmy Fallon swing Robert De Niro for his first show?

- Ok, now this Watchmen thing is going overboard. Today’s example? Condoms 

Extra Slice – Video: Tonight is the last Late Night with Conan O’Brien. In honor, enjoy the first episode

- After months of mediocre golf (actually I have no clue, I have watched), Tiger returns

- The economy worsens… does that mean the end of Saturn, Pontiac, Saab and Hummer? 

- Wow, an old fashioned robbery – with stripping and everything – in Long Island

- A magic pill that lets you forget painful memories? Aren’t they what makes us stronger, better people?

Extra Slice – Video: Classic Conan delivers a speech at his alma matter Harvard

- Griff’s going back to where it all started (and will, most likely, end)

- After two years of diminished productivity, it looks like the days of Manning/Harrison are about to come to an end 

- Some Watchmen clips have hit the web and it sounds like reaction is mixed

- In case you forgot (or – most likely – didn’t care), the Oscars are this Sunday. Here’s a look at how to win your Oscar pool (hint: always vote for the one set in 1940’s Germany)

Extra Slice – Video: Proving once again that Post-It Notes are just the Slinky’s of our generation (thanks Jason via Laura for the link)

- Next year: Mardi Gras in Vail! (?)

- Dreams do come true: Hammertime is BACK!

- Batwoman returns to comics, and this time she’s out of the closet (doesn’t this sound like a ratings driver for the CW?)

- Have you seen the Watchmen movie online site yet? If not, check it out. AWESOME

Extra Slice – Video: This just makes me cry. Why is this stupid bitch famous? Cover your ears and hit play (uncover them if you want to cry too)

- Boy, did A-Rod pick a bad time for this to happen: With the Super Bowl over and March Madness and the NBA/NHL playoffs not quite here yet, ESPN and other sports reporters really have nothing else to do by write about steroids

- Someone tell me whether or not having LJ date Chili is a good or bad omen for my fantasy team…

- Kid Rock gets his own beer: My guess is it’s made of hops and barley but smells like cigarette ashes and hookers

- A new report says the Niners are going to change their uniforms. How do you change something as iconic as the 49ers logo?

Extra Slice – Video: Star Wars fans have WAY too much time on their hands. Seriously.

- Ok, the stimulus plan is approved. Now… WORK!

- A-Rod faces the music while Cashman calls him an “investment” and an “asset” (geez, is this how the guys sees actual people?)

- The end begins for Conan: His last Late Night show airs this Friday. PLUS: A look back and a look forward 

- Parents Just Don’t Understand: Facebook Edition (thanks Shayna for the link)

Extra Slice – Video: After 20 years, The Simpsons re-do their opening (and this time, it’s in high def)

- Old timers are taking their lumps in the NFL this week: No more Taylor in Jacksonville; no more Deuce in the Big Easy

- I know the All-Star game is a joke and all, but clearing the court so Lebron can show off? Completely unnecessary

- Trump files Chapter 11 for his Casino’s for the THIRD time (I’m no lawyer, but is that even legal?)

- Two from Cantor this morning: “Some cool stuff on the revamp of Superman…” and a look at Transformers 2 

Extra Slice – Video: Hope you enjoyed Valentine’s Day this past weekend and got down to some serious “business time”

I’m off for President’s Day, Monday, February 16. Back here with more useless posts on Tuesday.

- The shock is not that the Falcons are trying to trade Vick; the shock will be who is willing to take him

- Whoa: The Simpsons go high-def (hopefully it will look good, not weird and creepy animation)

- Shouldn’t people who want the “American Idol Experience” just audition for the show?

- F My Life: Yeah, I’ve said that once or twice (thanks Shayna for the link)

Extra Slice – Image: Happy Valentines Day everyone! Hope it is filled with hugs, kisses and maybe even some hanky panky! (what the f? did I just say all that?)
