BLAKE SHELTON CONTINUES HEADLINING TOUR. Blake Shelton is back on the road with his 2011 All About Tonight Tour. His latest single “Who Are You When I’m Not Looking” shows a softer side of the singer, but Blake assures fans: he’ll never change his rowdy ways. “No matter what phase of my life I go through, I always come back to that side of me. Like or not, that’s who I am. That’s what I’ll always go back to.” The tour kicks off Friday in Wisconsin and features special guests Easton Corbin, The Band Perry, Steel Magnolia, and Chris Young.
MAKE YOU LAUGH
Last month, a 21-year-old man who worked at a Madison Avenue restaurant was killed by a car when he jaywalked while wearing an iPod. Citing that and a general rise in accidents involving pedestrians using electronic gadgets, New York State Sen. Karl Kruger has proposed a bill to ban people from texting, using cell phones or listening to iPods while walking. It would carry a $100 fine, although you would be allowed to use an iPod if you had a bud in only one ear. Critics call it intrusive, nanny-state nonsense. But Kruger said, "When people are doing things that are detrimental to their own well being, then government should step in."
• What if the guy walked with one ear bud in one ear but is deaf in the other ear?

This Is Nuts
The watchdog group Judicial Watch uncovered documents showing that in her last two years as House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi commandeered Air Force jets, including Air Force One, for 90 trips, some personal, at a cost to taxpayers of over $2 million. That included over $100,000 in in-flight expenses, including lavish meals, chocolate-covered strawberries, Bailey's, Bacardi, Sapphire Gin and Corona Beer.
* So that vacant stare wasn't entirely due to Botox.
HEALTH MOMENT
A group of Nestle SA researchers are on an unusual mission: They hope to create new foods that make people feel full earlier, or stay full longer, in order to curb the desire to eat more, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
This avenue of food science could represent a fresh assault in the fight against flab.
Nestle has run some experiments on foods using an artificial model of a human gut that mimics the process of digestion. In one experiment using olive oil they measured how long it took the artificial gut to digest olive oil at the natural rate. Then, they added a compound which formed a protective coat around the oil, making it harder digest the oil.
The Nestle scientists found it took eight times longer for the machine to "digest" the olive oil-and compound combination. This resulted in more undigested oil reaching the small intestine. In the human body, this could lead to a stronger signal of fullness to the brain.
Food companies have been trying to make satiety-inducing foods for years with little success.
Nestle is now pushing an approach, one that attacks the satiety problem in multiple ways at once. Nestle declined to say which foods its research might lead to, although a hypothetical example could be a vegetable oil that could go in a dressing or be used for cooking.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
A 36-year-old woman from Rome has filed for divorce just a month after her wedding because she's furious that her new husband brought his mother along on their honeymoon. She said she was shocked to show up at the airport for their flight to France to find her new mother-in-law all set to go with them. Her husband claimed he couldn't leave her alone for health reasons. The three spent the honeymoon together, but as soon as they returned to Italy, the wife filed for divorce, citing as the grounds "excessive emotional attachment" between her husband and his mother.
* She should've suspected this, considering they'd been living together for eight years in his mom's basement.
And I leave you with this thought.
"Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity."
