Sinful treat descending upon the world. Get ready...

In North Carolina, two of the state's favorite treats have joined forces. Krispy Kreme and Cheerwine. Oh yes. Evil never tasted so good.

Krispy Kreme makes doughnuts so good that office workers know not to ask "Is this low fat?" Cheerwine is the best cherry soda you'll ever have. I heard stories of people coming to NC just to load up on it and take it back up north. Put the two together and the world is in danger. *cue apocalypse style clips of people running for their lives and a woman screaming.* But only for one month.

Imagine a glazed doughnut with chocolate icing on top, red and white and black sprinkles on top of that and in the center, you have Cheerwine flavored icing packed in there. This is evil, people!

*Cue the '50s bad guy music.* Feeding more than one to your child could be considered bad parenting. Even after one, you may find your child to be uncontrollable. You may hear this doughnut call to you in the night. Do Not Answer! Never mind that Krispy Kreme doughnuts can be bought at your local Harris Teeter. Some Krispy Kreme stores are open 24 hours. Those who are not in perfect health should consult a doctor before consumption and a priest afterward. Or vice versa.

I dare ya to eat one. No.. two! I dare ya to eat two! Do you have what it takes to handle the Krispy Kreme Cheerwine doughnut!? It's coming... And it'll be waiting at a grocery store near you. *Evil bad guy laugh and fade to black.*

Please eat responsibly.

Be nice to your waiter... and the cook.

On MSN.com there is an interesting piece on 10 things your waiter won't tell you. My first thought was everything that came up in a movie called "Waiting..."(highly recommend renting it before dinner at a restaurant)

To my surpise, they took understanding approach. One thing missing from these are the cook's point of view. So since I used to be one a long time ago, I figure that some of my confessions are still valid.

1. By law, we can't give it to you raw. That means give up on trying to get the steak unrealistically rare.

2. If you want to complain, ask to speak to a manager. Remember that we have knives. We're probably chopping something and we are used to each other's voices and if you start yelling, it could be dangerous if we look up and continue chopping.

3. We appreciate tips too. Making a couple dollars an hour over minimum wage doesn't exactly make us high rollers. Tips aren't required, but greatly appreciated.

4. I'm not going to tell you what is in the sauce. Not because it's a company secret or we put something illegal in there. If I do, you'll realize you can make the exact same recipe at home for cheap and you'd never come back.

5. If it's 10 minutes before closing, we're closed. Clean up has already started and things are being moved back to the walk-in fridge. We would love to feed you... tomorrow. Waiters are probably happy to get that last tip and the manager is happy to get the last sale.

6. It's ok to mix and match some things on the menu. We've probably thought of it, also. Unfortunately, our jobs are a little less creative than you see on TV. On a medium or slow night, please switch it up. Most crazy requests need to be cleared through a manager first. If you are a party of 18 or more... just stick to the menu.

7. If you ask for something and your waiter or waitress comes back with it and in a foul mood, we probably did something. In the middle of a lunch or dinner rush, servers may ask for an extra cup of something. Most likely salad dressing or what not. I'm in the middle of preparing dishes and sometimes their request gets moved to the side. This requires them to wait and during a rush, a manager doesn't like to see servers standing around doing nothing. So they probably got yelled at. And it was our fault. And we laughed at their misfortune.

8. Don't ask the chef "What would you consider healthy on the menu and how many calories are in that?" In the words of Paula Dean, I'm not your doctor. I'm your cook.

9. Never ask to be surprised. I left before the guys tested the deep fried garden salad theory. I heard that the Buffalo Wing-Style Salmon was OK, though.

10. We probably didn't make the deserts, but we'll happily take credit for them if you are giving out compliments. Cakes, brownies and pastries are usually prepackaged. If it comes to you hot, it probably just left a wrapper and microwave.

10 Things Your Server Won't Tell You

Cruise's 'Knight and Day' comes in 3rd. Is it the couch's fault?

Tom Cruise's newest action film, Knight and Day, took 3rd place in the box office figures this week. Toy Story 3 and Grown Ups held the top 2 spots. How can Cruise lose? Easy. Let's blame the Oprah couch jumping incident or calling Matt Lauer "Glib."

How many years ago was that whole thing? And how many people knew what the word "glib" meant until he said it? Let's move on, shall we?

I know why it didn't do too well at the box office... Because it's a spy comedy. He has one and Ashton Kutcher has one out at the same time. I can't tell the two apart. The tall(relative as the case may be) dark and handsome spy paired up with the attractive blonde. Hmm, nope. Never heard that story before.

Hey, let's put a twist on the story so it's like the wife doesn't know what the husband does? Nope. True Lies with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis. That also seems to be the plot of the Kutcher film too.

Well how about if they both know whats going on? Nada. Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Also, dare I say, Austin Powers? (raises pinky finger up to lips and does an evil laugh)

We've spied ourselves out and it may take a new twist on an old tale to make it interesting. I'm not sure which actor could've put it in first place.

We haven't seen the last of the Tom Cruise hits. But that doesn't mean I want a Top Gun remake either.

Conquer the Vote: Shiragirl's "Stomp It Out!"

Conquer Entertainment has stepped up to help the fight against breast cancer by holding the Babes Burnin' Rubber Concert at The New Jersey Motorsports park. Far be it from the Conquer Artist to offer support by just donating a portion of their songs, they've also written music about the fight against breast cancer.

Shiragirl (Listen to "Stomp It Out!" here.)


At first listen, Shiragirl comes off as in-your-face, fearless, true to her art. Shira is all those things…what do you expect from a protégé of Tim Armstrong, Joan Jett and other punk rock legends? Yet Shira is smart…and her honest, hard-hitting brand of music is only one of the many layers to Shira. Shiragirl has shared a stage with Rancid, Joan Jett, Paramore and Taylor Dayne…among many others. Shira sees something she wants and doesn’t hesitate to go after it!

“I'm so grateful to be a part of this event and have this opportunity help raise awareness for breast cancer. I have seen too many women affected by this devastating disease. We were thrilled to record our song 'Stomp It Out' and bring a positive, uplifting vibe to the campaign. It's such an important cause and its great that Conquer Entertainment is getting involved.” Shiragirl

A recent press release in LA announced: All-female rockers and Warped Tour darlings Shiragirl have pushed back their debut album Scream! Spit! Sing! (Conquer Entertainment) to August 6, 2010. According to Shira, “We are so excited for this record to finally see the light of day! The last few songs we recorded for the album are really reflective of Shiragirl's past, present and future. Shiragirl is evolving musically and Scream! Spit! Sing! is paving the way. We are pioneering the genre of ‘punk-hop.’ We come from a punk rock background but we've always had other influences such as hip-hop, pop, and even folk and metal. It's one big musical collage, like a rock and roll mix tape.”

“Stomp It Out!” is evidence of Shira’s burning commitment to the cause and testimony to her courageous, passionate style!!

King Charlton (Listen to "My Story" here.)

Meet King Charlton, artist and producer, born and raised in Queens N.Y. with a strong back ground stemming from Flankers Jamaica. Growing up half Jamaican and American, musically he absorbed the best of both worlds. With deep roots in the Hip-Hop and Reggae culture, King Charlton instinctually fused the two passions to create his own sound and following, which is far from a carbon copy!

Alongside influencial hip-hop producer, Develop, and King Charlton's mentor, Tony"CD" Kelly (who has worked with artists such as Sean Paul and Beenie Man), King Charlton is a double edged sword bringing a young, fierce, and melodic vibe to the world. Telling stories of real life situations and lessons learned of a troubled up-bringing, King Charlton is the voice.

“Two of the most important people in my life fought the battle against cancer. My mother , Delcora Tracy died from cancer and my son, Khaalib lost his leg to cancer at the age of six. I witnessed the pain and wiped the tears. This one is for them.” King Charlton “My Story” is another of King Charlton’s “real life situation” songs that was written straight from his heart in honor and loving memory of his Mom and his son. Charlton’s vow to turn his life around and stunning message that ‘it’s never too late’ are expressed in “My Story” and should be an inspiration to others who find themselves struggling as he did.

Conquer the Vote: Justina's "As One"

JUSTINA (Listen to "As One" here.)

What do you get when you mix the ingenuity and trendsetting of Madonna, the funk of Missy Elliot, the attitude of Pink, the soul of Lauren Hill, the new new of M.I.A. and the sexy tomboy image of Joan Jett? Well, you get a great start to describing Justina. She is different from anything and everything that is out. She is the modern day solution for the same old, ‘cookie-cutter’, pop artist. When something this unique comes along, one of two things happen. Either people respond right away, or they are scared to embrace something they are not accustomed to until everyone else 'gets it'.

Justina is also a writer. When the principals of Conquer Entertainment and the committee for the Babes Burnin’ Rubber to fight Breast Cancer put out a request for an original song to be used for the event’s campaign song, Justina met the challenge with passion and a true desire to support the cause and sent us “As One”. “Both my grandmother and great grandmother passed from cancer. I lost my great gram to breast cancer so this is a cause that really hits home for me. I want to honor their memory and the memory of all those who have passed on, struggle currently with the ailment, or have a loved one whom they support in the fight against every form of cancer. This is dedicated to all…that we might fight “As One”…Justina

Justina will be appearing in upcoming and newly released movies such as 'The Perfect Age of Rock n Roll', 'Cadillac Records', and 'Step Up 3D'. She also played Dave Navarro's personal assistant, Chloe, on the IFC Network's new series, 'Z Rock'. Currently, Justina is in the lab with super producer, Shy Boogs, working on her upcoming album, 'Route 46'. When asked why 'Route 46', Justina says that it is a major highway that runs through Jersey and a lot of mischief, memories, and mayhem have taken place up, down, and around that highway. Most recently, Justina was chosen as radio personality on the “Jersey Live” Morning Show on 97.5FM New Jersey, from 7am until 10am weekdays!

Bambi's mom gives'em the ol' one two.

The Cranbrook Deer video has gone viral and, no doubt, people are taking sides.

In the video, it shows a fawn curled up getting a good sniffing by a neighborhood cat. Cue big mama deer. If a deer can give someone the evil eye, I'm pretty sure the cat got it. The dog down the street got the worst of it when the deer laid into it. Later on, curiousity nearly killed the cat too.

From comments I've read, people want something done about the urban deer herd. I haven't seen a comment as to why the dog was allowed to roam the streets or why the cat was out.

I won't sit here and act like I'm holier than thou and say something like "Well I would've ran out there banging a pot and pan to try to save the dog from that whoopin'." The truth is I probably would've done everything these people did, but with one extra classic male phrase "That was cool." I'm siding with Bambi's Mom on this fight.

Court to rule if cheerleading is a sport.

That question has been posed for as long as I can remember. "Is cheerleading a sport?" Add ons to that would be "Well if cheerleading is a sport, then so is chess." Needless to say the insults could go on and on.

But this case has an almost Catch-22 essence around it. Quinnipiac University in Conneticut believes it's still in compliance with Title IX by dropping its women's volleyball team because competitive cheerleading is a sport and thus there is still the required equality between the genders in sports at the school.

Of course members of the volleyball team aren't happy about it and have filed a lawsuit. Now, I'm sure the lawsuit was filed to keep the team going, but in the world that is sensationalistic media, there is very little grey area. If you file a lawsuit against someone, it's generally assumed that you are against whatever the defendant is doing. In this case that would come down to female volleyball players questioning if cheerleaders are worthy of being considered as athletes.

On the surface, I think this case can be settled quickly with a couple of things. Let's do it Jeff Foxworthy style. You might be playing a sport if....

You might be playing a sport if...

1. You've worn something twice without washing it because you believe it's good luck.

2. Good Sportmanship is the last thing on your mind after suffering a loss in front of people you don't know.

3. You can no longer associate conditioning with shampoo.

4. You already know what's wrong with you before a trainer can diagnose it.

5. You know the difference between being hurt and injured.

6. You've ever gone to a drive-thru and asked for a water with no ice, but the ice in a plastic bag

7. You get dressed as fast a possible after practice before the coach figures out he forgot to talk about something.

8. Whether you believe in God or not, you know The Lord's Prayer.

9. Something is getting tape. Ankles, knees, fingers, wrists, forearms, elbows... Something is getting taped up.

10. Years later you hear a whistle blow and have a minor flashback of the worst day of practice.

11. You could win a championship tournament and get into a wreck that same night and it still wouldn't wipe the smile off your face.

If any or all of these have happened to you... You played a sport. Court adjourned.

Is Cheerleading A Sport?

1. Fans of NCIS can rest easy knowing that all of the actors have signed deals to stay on the show. What ever would we do without Gibbs, Director Vance, Abby, Ziva and the rest of the gang?

2. HBO renews True Blood for a 4th season. I wondered when they were going to get into a werewolf plot. Season 3 is doing it quite nicely. Let's see here... Season 1 was vampires vs vampires. Season 2 was vampires vs religious cults and demons. Season 3 is dealing with werewolves. Any preditions for season 4? Zombies? Mummies?

3. International pop star, Charice, is joing the cast of Glee as an exchange student. Since I don't watch the show, I can't provide any attempt at witty commentarya about the subject.

4. American Idol is lowering it's minimum age to 15. With downward spiral in the raitings, the younger they get them, the better. I think. At some point it will be completely open and you'll see a larger flood of stage parents like David Archuletta's dad. Did anyone watch America's Funniest Home Videos? Did anyone else notice that the only ones who ever seemed to win the $100k grand prize were baby or toddler videos? I'm betting American Idol may become something like that.

Spain's goalkeeper becomes example of a workplace no-no

Spain loses 1-0 against Switzerland! Since Spain was favored to win, who is to blame? Let's not blame all the other guys on Spain's team for not scoring a goal. Let's blame Spain's goalie, Iker Casilllas! Yeah, that's it! It's the goalie's fault. And who better to give him a public chastising, on international TV, than his journalist girlfriend, Sara Carbonero!

According to angry fans, she also happened to be reporting from the sidelines close to Casillas when the crucial score happened. Poor guy. No matter which way you look at it, the loss will be blamed on him. "Did your girlfriend distract you or are you a terrible goalie?" In some form, that's is the question he'll have over his head.

Dating in the workplace may be ok for some, but they aren't playing in the World Cup.
