U2

There is no real reason for me to be posting this song, Sometimes You Can’t make it on your own, other than I heard it on the radio while on the way home from the grocery store.

While writing the album, How to dismantle an atomic bomb, Bono had just lost his father, Bob. This song is to his dad. The line, You’re the reason the opera is in me, is because his dad used to listen to opera. (Also mentioned in Ultraviolet from Achtung Baby)

Tough, you think you’ve got the stuff
You’re telling me and anyone
You’re hard enough

You don’t have to put up a fight
You don’t have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don’t have to go it alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I… that’s alright
We’re the same soul
I don’t need… I don’t need to hear you say
That if we weren’t so alike
You’d like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don’t have to go it alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

I know that we don’t talk
I’m sick of it all
Can you hear me when I Sing,
you’re the reason I sing
You’re the reason why the opera is in me

Where are we now?
I’ve got to let you know
A house still doesn’t make a home
Don’t leave me here alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
Sometimes you can’t make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

Eddie Izzard Honored for Charity Marathon Run

eddie izzard running 2

Comedian and actor Eddie Izzard has been honored for his marathon trek through the UK this summer. Eddie ran 43 (FORTY-THREE!!!!!) marathons in nearly as many days this summer to raise money for Comic Relief organization.

While accepting his special award at the annual BBC Sports Personality of the Year, Izzard was very humbled by the honor.

He said, “I’m no athlete. Not like everybody here tonight. It was really tough. Everything was painful. People asked me if I enjoyed the running but I enjoyed the stopping! I staggered, I ran and I crawled”.

In total Eddie ran 1,100 miles and raise over $300,000 (£200,000) in 51 days.

BIG Announcement on Man V Food tonight! (PHOTOS, VIDEO)

hartford man v food pizza

Busy Bee has insider information that there will be a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT at the end of tonight’s Man Versus Food on the Travel Channel.  What about?  We’re not telling ;-)

As for the food tonight? Adam visits Hartford, CT and eats everything. I mean, uh, hot dogs, burgers and pizza.

The challenge is at Randy’s Wooster Street Pizza. But not just your normal pie. It’s a 22″ stuffed pie weighing in at 10 pounds. Ingredients include mozzarella, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, broccoli, spinach, pepperoni, ground meatballs, sausage, bacon, and 3-pounds of ricotta, romano and mozzarella cheese. He has to share the pizza with a friend, but that’s STILL 5 POUNDS OF PIZZA! ooof.

I think Adam’s announcement is that he finally exploded.

Tune-in TONIGHT December 16th at 10 E/P on the Travel Channel to find out!

Ambulances at Tiger Woods Home UPDATE

Professional golfer Tiger Woods swings to get his ball out of the sand trap at the World Golf Championships in Miami, Florida.

From OK Magazine
OK! has spotted one sheriff, four fire/rescue vehicles and two ambulances with sirens and lights blazing rush into into Tiger Woods’ Islesworth community gates. We don’t know if this is in anyway connected to the Tiger, but we’ll keep you updated!

UPDATE 3:36 p.m.: No worries for Tiger Woods, it seems — OK! spoke to police at the scene, who say the reason the emergency vehicles were present is a gas leak at the country club nowhere near the golfer’s home. However Officer Mary Ann Knuckles would not comment as to whether the presence of the four fire trucks and two ambulances with police escorts is a usual reaction to a gas leak.

This sounds fishy. I live and work near very chi chi areas in SoCal and i have NEVER heard of the police AND firetrucks AND ambulance being sent out for a simple gas leak where NO ONE was injured. Just my two cents.

Britney Spears

britney spears 3 brown eyes

Ah as if one version of Britney Spears’ video for “3″ wasn’t enough, she just released the director’s cut. This version is much better than the first one. Not that the first one was all that great.

I do dig Brit’s black outfit and smokey eye look. Why didn’t they use this in the first one? You’d think the better one would be the one her people would use!

What do YOU think of the latest version?
*update the original video we posted was pulled by Vibe… better watch THIS one quick!*
