Springsteen, TTU photos, Lopez fragrance

It's official, Bruce Springsteen will be the halftime entertainment for the Super Bowl.  Because of that, the game will last eight hours.  (you know, because he always plays for four....OK, it's not funny when you have to explain it)  Jim says the only halftime show he remembers is Janet Jackson.  And she is in the hospital in Montreal.  She fell ill during a sound check before her concert Monday night.  That's all I know about it at the moment.
 
Many thanks to Shane Mangrum of Direct Insurance who had the good sense to break his camera, the very same kind I have.  Which freed up his need of camera accessories.  So when I lost my cord he was able to give me one so I could get the tailgate photos out of my camera and onto the website.  They're hidden in the photo album that says TTU tailgate (this week the TTU tailgate begins at 4pm Saturday).  See me holding Roach all by myself.  Jim's remark was, "well, he was cooperating you know."  If those aren't enough pictures for you, David and Cynthia Elkins have posted all the photos they took of the pageant I was in at elkinsimages.com.  Look under gallery. 
 
Posh Spice wore some thigh high boots that cost approximately three grand that had no heels.  They were funky looking.  They would've been high heeled boots, had there been a heel.  She had to walk on the balls of her feet.  Sure, it got press, but she had to have her husband around for balance.  Not that holding on to David is a problem.  But you need to google those boots for a look.  The designer has sold about 60 pair.  Can't say I'll be buying them. 
 
Jennifer Lopez has launched a new fragrance for men called Deseo.  Lee can't get past the deodorant costing $16.  It's got notes of lemon, yuzu, red berries and cedar leaf; a heart of tobacco leaves, guaicwood and orris, and a drydown of sandalwood, cedarwood, patchouli, amber and vanilla in it.  And depending on the size, retails for up to $55.  I don't even know what some of that stuff is, so now I want to smell it.
 
Dancing with the Stars was great because Maks did the Paso Doble.  And he wore black leather.  Or Pleather.  I don't care.  Lee says he doesn't look like me type because he seems so rough.  Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee.

THE POPCORN LAWSUIT

A New York judge says popcorn purchasers worried about breaking a tooth on unpopped kernels should nibble carefully -- or eat something else. Steve Kaplan says he encountered a double dud while watching the movie "Superbad" at a year ago: He chipped a tooth and says the movie was awful besides. Kaplan sued the theater to recover $1,250 for dental repairs. But Manhattan Civil Court Judge Matthew Cooper ruled that Kaplan could not reasonably expect every kernel to be popped.

ANOTHER WAY TO ASSAULT A POLICE OFFICER

We told you last week about the man charged with assault for passing gas at a police officer. Now, in Iowa, Luke Schreder is charged with assault on a peace officer ... for hugging a policeman. Authorities say the 21-year-old was drunk at the time and was told to get away. But Schreder said the officer looked like he needed a hug and embraced him. Police say that constitutes an assault.

or DEALING WITH RENTERS
Tenants of a Brooklyn building said their landlord came up with a new idea for how to kick them out: Let the smell of the cats out of the bag. Dead cats, that is. The stench from the carcasses did catch the tenants' attention - but they stayed and have now sued. One tenant, Daisy Terry, told a news conference it was so bad she had to hold her nose coming down the stairs. The building in Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood was purchased last year and the tenants, who have rent-controlled apartments, say the new owners want them out. No comment from the owners.
