FAITH HILL STAYS TRUE TO HER GUT INSTINCT ON NEW FRAGRANCE. Faith Hill is a one-woman music, fashion, and beauty empire. The singer has been busy as the voice of NFL’s Sunday Night Football and is currently gearing up for her first-ever CMT Crossroads appearance with rock group The Pretenders during Pepsi’s Super Bowl Fan Jam on February 5th. Despite her busy schedule, Faith still found time to indulge her feminine side and release a brand new fragrance named True just in time for Spring. Faith admits that though she knows how to pick the right notes for her music, picking the right notes for her new scent was not as simple and required a little gut instinct. “I’m pretty sensitive in that regard. So I’m able to pick up on things that I like or dislike pretty quickly easily. It is a process, and it’s tedious, and it’s not that glamorous of a process! [Laughs]” Faith’s new scent True is the second to appear in her fragrance collection.
MAKE YOU LAUGH
Scientists at Penn State University say they have discovered the genetic mutation that led to the first appearance of white people. Scientists believe that humans evolved in Africa and were all brown-skinned, but began to spread out tens of thousands of years ago. They say a skin-whitening mutation appeared in a single individual, and that ancestor's offspring thrived in Europe, giving rise to the lightest of all races. They stressed that this is not a "race gene," affecting all racial variations, but just a skin color gene. They noted that skin color is such a tiny difference, it involves a change of only one letter of the 3.1 billion letters in the human genome.
* This ancestor was very pale and lived in cold climates...He was known as "Vanilla Ice."
RIDDLE ME THIS
I have a hundred legs, But cannot stand.
I have a long neck, But no head.
I cannot see, and I'm neat and tidy, As can be.
What am I?
A Broom.

This Is Nuts
In a possibly fatal blow to Obamacare, Federal Judge Roger Vinson agreed Monday with 26 states that the mandate forcing all Americans to buy insurance is unconstitutional. Vinson said it expands Congress' powers far beyond constitutional limits. And since Congress failed to include a clause stating that if part of the bill is struck down the rest can stand, he had to nullify the entire bill. He did decline to order all provisions halted immediately, since the Supreme Court will ultimately rule on it. In a detailed, 78-page decision, the most devastating quote he cited was from Barack Obama, who as a Presidential candidate strongly opposed mandated health insurance and said that if that worked, then why not cure homelessness by mandating that everyone buy a house?
* To Obamacare proponents, the Supreme Court is starting to look like a Death Panel.
HEALTH MOMENT
Researchers found there was an increased number of cardiac deaths, particularly among women, after a city's home team lost in the Super Bowl, according to a study published Monday in the journal Clinical Cardiology.
The study examined residents of Los Angeles, where the home team lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1980 and won against the Washington Redskins in 1984.
It looked at how the rise in deaths after the loss related to age, sex and race, and found that in women, there was a 27 percent increase in all circulatory deaths.
In men, there was a 15 percent increase in such deaths associated with the loss.
"The Super Bowl may elicit an emotional response that is similar in U.S. females and males, or perhaps a male's reaction to the Super Bowl loss adversely affected the emotional state of a female partner," the study said.
Previous studies of soccer fans in Europe found an increase in acute coronary syndrome and arrhythmia, more so among men than women, during the 2006 World Cup.
This year's Super Bowl takes place February 6 between the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
Charlie Sheen could be stuck in rehab against his will for up to three months, and putting "Two And A Half Men" on hiatus may cost CBS $250 million. The big losers could be the crewmembers, who might have to struggle on reduced or no pay for the second time while waiting for him to get out of rehab. So they might not be too sympathetic to hear that "for privacy reasons," Sheen has decided to do his rehab stint at home. He's reportedly put together a team of professionals that he trusts to come in every day and help him.
• Going through rehab at Charlie Sheen's house would be like holding a Weight Watchers' meeting at Dunkin' Donuts.
And I leave you with this thought.
"The most powerful agent of growth and transformation is something much more basic than any technique: a change of heart."
