Celebrity Spotlight
Brad Paisley is celebrating the birthday of his biggest fan today, as his son Huck turns four years old. With well over ten million albums sold, and an impressive four-million in ticket sales for 2011 alone, the reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year is making all the right moves in the studio and onstage. But when Brad needs help with his music, he calls on his number one fan Huck, who came to Brad’s rescue for the hit single “Anything Like Me.” “He knew the song because I’d sung it for him at home, and then I just told him, ‘I want you to sing “me.”‘ I said, ‘You ready to do this?’ He said, ‘I don’t want to.’ And I said, ‘Just try it…you’d probably like it.’ So he put on the headphones, and he started tappin’ his foot and listening to it, and it got to his thing, and he sang it. And then he wanted to do more than that, but (laughs) I said, ’Nah, just the word’ll be fine.’” Brad’s next studio album This Is Country Music is set for release on May 24th.

This Is Nuts
Texas State Rep. Lois Kolkhorst has introduced a bill to get Congress' attention on the illegal immigration problem. It would allow any law enforcement agency that has custody of illegal immigrants to take them to the office of any U.S. Senator or Representative and leave them there. The bill doesn't specify what the politician would do with an illegal alien.

HEALTH MOMENT
A study of the two most popular weight-loss surgeries found obese diabetics who had gastric bypass surgery lost 64 percent of their excess weight after a year, compared with 36 percent in those treated with Allergan Inc's Lap-Band device, researchers said on Monday.
Complication rates were about the same with both procedures.
Prior studies have suggested gastric banding was safer than gastric bypass surgery, in which doctors surgically reduce the size of the stomach to limit the amount a person can eat.
With gastric banding, doctors insert an adjustable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach, giving the patient the illusion of fullness with small meals.
Last week, the Food and Drug Administration approved expanded use of the stomach band, allowing it to be implanted in less obese people.
The study involved 100 morbidly obese people who underwent Lap-Band surgery. These patients were matched by sex, race, age and weight with 100 patients who underwent gastric bypass.
In the gastric bypass patients, about 86 percent of patients successfully lost more than 40 percent of excess weight. Only about 31 percent of the Lap-Band patients lost that amount of weight.
The study shows that gastric bypass provides better weight loss, better resolution of diabetes and an improvement in quality of life compared to the Lap-Band.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
Yesterday during oral arguments, a Supreme Court majority appeared to agree that a woman was unfairly given too long a sentence for trying to poison her best friend after her husband got the woman pregnant. Because she was a microbiologist and used a poison banned by chemical weapons treaties, she was charged with a federal crime, like a terrorist. She claims the feds overreacted, that she only wanted to cause the woman "an uncomfortable rash," and it should've been a state-level domestic dispute case.
Yeah, the feds overreacted, says the woman who tried to poison her husband's mistress.
And I leave you with this thought.
