Arizona Basset Hound Rescue -- Help Me Help Bassetts!

I will be waddling with basset hounds on March 17 to raise money for Arizona Basset Hound Rescue. I'm hoping you'll help me raise money to help save some basset hounds!

Here is the link to my fundraising page where you can help me reach my goal of raising $987. Make your donations here and then watch me in the St. Patty's Day parade.

I'll be the redheaded Irish lady walking a cute basset hound who just so happens to be up for adoption! So open your wallets...how can you refuse a face like this?

Man Joke:

Last night, my wife and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug!"

She got up, unplugged the television and then threw out my beer.

My favorite news stories of the week

Heather here blogging still...in addition to my other duties around here like raiding Mary's 45 collection and trying to find where the boss has hidden the Peakerman party tickets... Where do I find the time?

Here goes, my favorite news stories of the week for Peakerheads!

Vitally important Police news
If you want to catch the reunited Police performing together at the Grammy Awards, remember they are opening the show! So have your butt planted in front of the TV when the show starts. This also means you can simply watch the opening portion of the show and move on. Hey – it’s going to be a long awards season. Tour rumors are circulating already but there’s nothing of substance to report. We’ll be right here to inform you if that changes!

Anna Nicole Smith dead at age 39
Fans across the world are saddened by the sudden passing of Anna Nicole Smith, who died Thursday at age 39 in Hollywood, Florida. Smith had been staying at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino all week and was found unconscious in her room around 2 pm Eastern; she was pronounced dead about two hours later at a nearby hospital. An autopsy will be done now on the starlet who always admired Marilyn Monroe and even resembled her somewhat. We may know within days the cause of her death.

Stevie Nicks is has a couple new releases coming up
Stevie Nicks is finally on DVD! She’s releasing Reflections – the Very Best of Stevie Nicks March 27. The CD will contain her solo stuff and her stuff with Fleetwood Mac like an acoustic version of Landslide, a studio version of Edge of Seventeen, Led Zeppelin’s Rock n’ Roll, the Deep Dish dance remix of Dreams and the original Silver Springs master from Rumours. Then there’s the DVD complete with 13 Nicks videos…a Peakerhead could get used to this sort of thing! Like good stalkers, we say thank you to Ms. Nicks for releasing all this cool stuff! For instance, you’ll be able to check out never-before-seen home videos of her during the making of the Bella Donna album. If you want to try your luck in Vegas next month, Nicks will be performing at Ceasars Palace March 20-24.

More Borat – very nice!
Sasha Baron Cohen will be back for a second round of Borat. The movie has grossed about $250 million worldwide and is a surprising hit in Israel, where Cohen came from originally. Though the film is filled with off-color anti-Semitic jokes, the language Borat speaks is actually Hebrew in an affect that gives Israelis inside jokes in their own tongue. Many Americans have been offended by some of Cohen’s shock humor, as well as the actual President of Kazakhstan who even launched a PR campaign to show his country in the correct light after he learned of the movie’s release.

You endured my scrunchy madness this week, so I owe you one!

Heather here blogging for the vacationing Mary Reilly still. Thanks for hanging with me on the air and on the blog while Mary's off! I found this great little nugget and had to share it here.

A) I gotta redeem myself for the scrunchy craziness (see a couple posts down) and,
B) Mary will just about flip over through the air about 15 times when she sees this video!

I'm pretty sure I'm Mary's favorite, but just in case I'm not, posting this video on her blog will surely catapult me there. It's Patti Smith appearing on Kids Are People Too and singing -- I KID YOU NOT -- You Light Up My Life. There are no words...except that this is sooo cool!

Breaking news: Anna Nicole Smith is dead

Anna Nicole Smith was found unconscious today at 2pm Eastern in her hotel room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Smith was rushed to the hospital, but CNN is reporting that she was already dead when found at her hotel. Anna Nicole Smith was 39 years old.

Mary's favorite Superbowl commercial

Heather here. Mary's still on vacation, but in the spirit of what she'd be doing if she were actually here -- and that's not much -- she'd be sharing her favorite Superbowl commercial with you. It's this one:

We're bringing scrunchy back!

Heather here, blogging for Mary today while she's on vacation. Check out the new Peak scrunchy, which the Peak Patrol will be giving away while they're out and about. We miss the 90s (or did these things surface in the 1980s?) We miss the glory days of the scrunchy. So I used modern technology to take a bad cell phone camera picture of me rockin' the scrunchy today. I personally think I look like I should be washing a Camaro. What do you think?

Let's do a Grammy poll!

The Grammy Awards are this weekend and it's going to be worth watching the show because The Police are reuniting to perform! Yes!
