The Perfect Job?


24-year-old Nat Garvey says she has found the perfect job and absolutely loves what she does for a living. Living in Truro, Cornwall, Nat is paid $30,000 a year to work from home and try out various sex toys. She says since landing the unusual gig she's tried out over 1,000 "weird and wonderful toys - plus some pretty bad ones." She adds, "I'm not a sex addict. I'm representing normal girls who, like me, also need to buy these toys. Sex toys aren't taboo any more. I saw the job ad online and initially applied for a laugh. My family and friends all know what I do for a job. My friends think I have the best job in the world and I think it is perfect." (Ananova)



Taking Dine and Dash To An Entirely New Level!


In Melbourne, Australia, four unidentified men have just seriously raised the bar for "dine and dash." After ordering expensive drinks at the Vue de Monde restaurant located in the Rialto Towers skyscraper, the four skipped out on their tab -- by jumping off a 55th floor balcony! Nope, not a suicide pack. Turns out the four were experienced base jumpers who had parachutes hidden under their business suits and a getaway car waiting at the bottom. Shannon Bennett, owner of the Vue de Monde said, "I ran from the kitchen into the room and I just saw a flash of them jumping over, and at that stage none of us knew what the hell was going on." Bennett added, "They had cameras on their helmets so I'm sure we'll all see it on YouTube soon. I hope they are caught - they need to pay their bill." All four did manage to make their escape, despite one of them having to be freed by the others after he got stuck in a tree. Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Kieran Walshe criticized the stunt, saying, "It's not cool, it's stupid." Actually Commissioner, and no -- we don't condone breaking the law -- but you have to admit somewhere deep down inside -- IT WAS AWESOME! (Ananova)

AMERICAN IDOL: Top 12 & Jermaine Jones Thrown Off

This week, the American Idol Top 12 take on "Songs From the Year You Were Born." All eyes are on Jessica Sanchez. The 16-year-old singer became an overnight sensation after last week's show-stopping performance of "I Will Always Love You" for Whitney Houston week.

It'll be the end of the road for Jermaine Jones. TMZ broke the story that the gentle giant would be sent home after tonight's performance. Jones was first accused of making up a story about an estranged dad to get the sympathy vote. That led to digging into his past, and the revelation that he lied to Idol producers in not disclosing that he was arrested twice last year. Jones reportedly gave phony names during both arrests.

TWITTER REACTION FROM JONES
Right after the TMZ report, Jermaine tweeted, "Aw, I will no longer be on the show." He quickly deleted that tweet, but got in digs by re-tweeting what his fans were saying about the issue, posting:
  • "You don't deserve to leave."
  • "So done watching American Idol."
  • "Breaking news, Colton Dixon is human too and has messed up before! Are you serious?"
  • "Jeez, people act like you're the only one with a past, without naming some 'big' celebs (C.B.?). Record an album, make millions, show 'em what you got."
  • "He committed a crime? It seems impossible for someone like him. He's a cute teddy bear."
  • "No need to bash."
  • "I think this is BS! What does a record have to do with this man's talent?"
  • "Disqualified from American idol? That's bull crap!"
  • And the not-so-flattering fan reaction -- "SCUM!"

You never know what you'll see on the road to COMEDY

LISTENER E-MAIL: Facebook Review

Hey guys, I have a little dilemma and I'd like to run it by you. I've been unemployed for six months and finally have an interview for a job that I'd really like to get. I've done my research on this company and even spoken to a few people who work there and they've all given me a heads up as to what the interview will be like. One of the things the interviewer will ask me is to show him my Facebook profile. I've heard about companies doing this to get a better idea of the type of person the applicant is. I know that I have the right to refuse the Facebook review, but by doing so, does that make me look like I have something to hide? I don't really have anything to hide, but what if the interviewer sees something that they don't like? So I don't know what to do. Should I let him see my Facebook profile or refuse?

I'd love to hear what you have to say about it.

Thanks,
Amy

Most Liked & Least Liked = Rush Limbaugh

When it comes to news personalities, our favorites are Diane Sawyer, Anderson Cooper and Brian Williams. And the three we like the least are Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and Nancy Grace. That's the word from the Harris Poll, which of 26 current affairs personalities are the most popular. Back in the day, there were only three TV newsmen and everyone knew who they were: Walter Cronkite, David Brinkley and Chet Huntley. And while we still have three anchors at the big three TV networks, there are now a multitude of news personalities on cable stations and even a radio personality who transcends many of his brethren on television.

The top 8 most liked news personalities:

1. Diane Sawyer: 23 percent
2. Anderson Cooper and Brian Williams: 19 percent (tie)
4. Bill O'Reilly and Barbara Walters: 15 percent (tie)
6. George Stephanopoulos: 14 percent
7. Matt Lauer and Katie Couric: 13 percent (tie)

The top 8 most disliked news personalities:

1. Rush Limbaugh: 46 percent
2. Bill O'Reilly: 31 percent
3. Nancy Grace: 23 percent
4. Sean Hannity: 14 percent
5. Katie Couric, Piers Morgan, Barbara Walters and Chris Matthews: 10 percent (tie)

For Republicans, the top three favorite current affairs personalities are Bill O'Reilly (29 percent), Sean Hannity (25 percent) and Rush Limbaugh (22 percent).

Democrats and Independents say their top three favorites are Diane Sawyer (28 percent and 25 percent respectively), Anderson Cooper (24 percent and 21 percent) and Brian Williams (24 percent and 20 percent).

For Republicans, the three least liked current affairs personalities are Nancy Grace (25 percent), Rush Limbaugh (24 percent) and Chris Matthews (18 percent).

For Democrats, the three news personalities that are the least favorite are Rush Limbaugh (66 percent), Bill O'Reilly (45 percent), and Sean Hannity (23 percent)

For Independents it is Rush Limbaugh (49 percent), Bill O'Reilly (31 percent) and Nancy Grace (25 percent).

Well, it seems that Rush Limbaugh is in the least-liked top three for Republicans, Democrats and Independents.

TRACEY GOLD DOESN'T AGREE WITH KIRK CAMERON


Some sibling rivalries never die -- even among former co-stars.

Tracey Gold has responded to anti-gay remarks made by her one-time Growing Pains brother Kirk Cameron.

Via Twitter, Tracey wrote, "I am a strong supporter of the #LGBT Community, and I believe in equal rights for all." This comes just days after Kirk called homosexuality "unnatural" on Piers Morgan Tonight.

Tracey also changed her profile photo to show her support for the No H8 campaign, which promotes gay and lesbian equality.

Oh the Irony: Man Dies Trying To Break Record For Being Buried Alive!

How's this for irony? In Sri Lanka, 24-year-old Janaka Basnayake has died trying to set a new world record for the longest time spent buried alive. Police said with help from family and friends, Janaka buried himself over the weekend in a ten-foot deep trench sealed with wood and soil. He was buried around 9:30 Saturday morning but when he was brought to the surface at 4:00 that afternoon he was unconscious and taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Janaka's mother said her son had enjoyed performing unusual acts since his childhood. She also said her son had been buried alive on two previous occasions – for two and a half hours and six hours respectively. (Huffington Post)

Pawn It

"Pawn Stars" is drawing big audiences on cable and Financially Fit talked to the co-owner Tock Harrison of the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas to find out the most lucrative items to pawn. Amazingly, they are common household items. "There are a lot of weird things you might find in your basement or your attic that may have a lot of value," Harrison said. The five most lucrative items to pawn:

1. Zippo Lighters
Lighters from the 1950s could be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars. "Every guy in the 1950s and 1960s had one. They ended up getting thrown away, but I've literally sold them for thousands of dollars if you have the right one," Harrison told Financially Fit. You'll get the most money for a Zippo lighter made in 1932, which is the year the company was founded.
2. Baseball Cards
Baseball cards that were mass produced aren't worth a lot of money. What will bring in the bucks is an original Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth or Joe DiMaggio card that's in good condition.
3. Comic Books
The value of a comic book depends on four things: its age, the number of copies in print, the condition and the print number.
4. Antique Clocks
You'll get the most money for an old clock if it meets these four criteria: It must be mechanically complex, designed by a well-known clockmaker, have a beautiful design and still function.
5. Grandma's Jewelry
"That hideous jewelry is sometimes made out of gold," says Harrison. And gold means instant cash for sellers. Gold prices are up 20 percent the past year alone.
