Before Ariana Grande was singing her own songs to packed arenas, she was singing the Star Spangled Banner at a Florida Panthers game. What a voice the 8 year old had back in 2001 when she sang the National Anthem to open that hockey game.
When you think of Independence Day, you don’t really think of it as a holiday where people are sexy. Yes I know, women wear tiny bikinis, but still it is not like Halloween or New Year’s Eve.
That was until this year because Joe Jonas lit our fireworks with this sexy video. He sat on a couch, smoking a cigar, wearing America’s colors, staring longingly into the camera as the Star Spangled Banner played in the background. I don’t know about you, but my sparkler is on fire. You should see the sparks fly!

It is that time of year, when I find out what channel ESPN is on on my cable system. That’s because today is the annual Fourth of July Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest and it is what being American is all about. Each year 20 people try to down as many hot dogs as they can in 10 minutes and keep them down.
From 2007-2014, Joey Chestnut held that title and continued to break his own records. Then last year, Matt Stonie, who lives in the same town as him, beat him.
This year both men were back to battle it out and there could only be one winner. I guess last year’s loss really lit a fire in Chestnut’s belly because Stonie never stood a chance. Not only did Chestnut destroy his opponent by 17 wieners, he also beat his own record. He gobbled down 70 dogs in 10 minutes and I will not eat another one until July 3rd.
I don’t know how they do it. I can’t eat 70 of anything in 10 minutes and they do it like it is nothing. Thankfully these competitive eaters know how to do it because I love watching them every year.
But then again, I am still hoping for another contestant to throw up on live TV again. That was an awesome moment in television history.
I think that next year they should add another part to the challenge. After the 10 minutes are up, all the contestants need to ride the Cyclone at Coney Island. Whoever ate the most hot dogs and kept them down, is the winner. So it is a two part contest that will be both exciting and disgusting at the same time. Because you know as soon as one person loses his hot dogs, the rest will follow. How glorious would that be?
We are just over a week away from the start of Gwen Stefani’s tour, and Live Nation is offering 4 tickets for $40 or $10 each if you buy them by today. So if you go by her tour’s title, This Is What The Truth Feels Like, the truth feels like sh!t when people don’t want to see you and you have to basically give away tix for free.
I mean without Blake Shelton, No Doubt and/or a huge hit behind her, why would you want to spend big bucks to just see her? Sorry, she is nothing to hollaback about these days.
From the East Coast to the West Coast, Jerry O’Connell and Rebecca Romijn have patriotism covered…all over their bodies. While O’Connell wore red, white and blue from his head to toe in NYC, he his wife donned the stars and stripes from her left to her right side along with her The Librarians co-star Lindy Booth in Portland, Oregon. So who is the prouder American? I am like the Mississippi River and split down the middle.
Now if Romijn had one of the Skin Wars contestants paint that on her body, it would be a totally different story.
Either way, I crown them the King and Queen of America today!
