The Steelers Are Heading To Tampa!! - Sunday's AFC Championship game was a little too close at one point, but my boys prevailed over the Ravens in the end. Now it's off to Florida for the chance to win a record sixth Super Bowl. Keep waving those towels, Steeler Nation! Here we go!

Dying To See A Movie? - On Saturday, one day after a man was shot at a premiere for Notorious, the Biggie Smalls biopic, four men were stabbed at an after-party for another showing of the film. Will this senseless violence never end? Why, just last night, several bitches and hounds were injured when a fight broke out at the premiere of Hotel For Dogs. There have also been many reports of psychotic outbursts and even suicide attempts during recent screenings of Paul Blart: Mall Cop. At this time, authorities don't believe that there is any connection between any of these events.

What Rhymes With Joaquin? - Retired actor/professional weirdo Joaquin Phoenix busted a few rhymes at a Vegas club over the weekend, re-introducing himself to the public as an aspiring rapper. Then, it appeared that he begged for bus fare home before falling off the stage. The stabbings never happen where they should, do they?

It's Obamapalooza! - Stars such as Bruce Springsteen, Sheryl Crow, U2, Garth Brooks, Stevie Wonder, and Beyonce performed at the inaugural concert on Sunday...just one more over-the-top event to ensure that even those of us who voted for Barack will be kind of sick of him by the time he actually is sworn in. As far as concerts go, it wasn't bad, but mild compared to the shows we're all used to by now, thanks to huge productions by bands like the Rolling Stones, Guns 'N Roses, and Iron Maiden. I kept waiting for the statue of Abe Lincoln to get up out of his chair and start pumping his fist in the air. I was kind of let down when he just sat there.

I'd Like To Dedicate This One To Michael Johns - Kelly Clarkson's new album, All I Ever Wanted, is due out on St. Patrick's Day but she's recently released the first single, "My Life Would Suck Without You." Click on the link to download the tune. I don't feel bad giving it away for free because it's already being offered for free on VH-1's website. I'm glad to see Kelly bouncing back after watching her last record, My December, unjustly tank. True, it wasn't as immediately accessible as her mega-hit album, Breakaway, but I thought it was commendable that she wanted to do something a little different. I guess she's over that phase now though, because this new song is pretty much a Nicki Frenchified version of "Since U Been Gone." Well, at least we know that the formula still works because this is catchy as hell.
