Celebrity Spotlight
Big & Rich will hit the road this year for their 2011 Xtreme Muzik tour with buddies Cowboy Troy, Gretchen Wilson, and personality Two Foot Fred. Since their hiatus in 2008, the duo’s John Rich has released a solo album and joined the cast of this season’s Celebrity Apprentice. The star currently hosts a weekly viewing party for the series at his dream home deemed “Mount Richmore,” an appropriate name for an estate that also played host to John’s favorite music video moment from his single “Country Done Come To Town.” “I’m kinda standing there in this surreal moment going, ‘There’s girls in the swimming pool on my roof. There’s a goat on my roof. There’s a couple of gals wrestling in bikinis in a kiddie pool full of cream-style corn on my roof. George Jones is on the roof mowing the grass on the roof on a riding mower—just absolute insanity!” The 2011 Xtreme Muzik tour will kickoff June 25th in Walker, Minnesota. Celebrity Apprentice airs Sunday nights at 9PM Eastern on NBC.

This Is Nuts
President Obama is learning what it's like to be George W. Bush. Over the weekend, the U.N. coalition began enforcing the no-fly zone over Libya by bombing Moammar Quaddafi's air force. In response, Quaddafi threatened a long war and compared the allies to Crusaders. Former Obama supporters Michael Moore and Louis Farrakhan blasted Obama. The House Speaker accused him of going to war without Congressional approval or a clear goal or exit strategy. Socialists in Brazil, where Obama is visiting, held protests accusing him of going to war for oil. And conservatives gloated that liberals are hypocrites if they don't loudly protest Obama going to war without Congressional authority against an oil-rich Middle Eastern nation that posed no immediate threat to Americans.
* Not surprisingly, Obama has decided to stay in Brazil permanently...In fact, he now claims he was born there.
HEALTH MOMENT
Newer technologies for treating prostate cancer have surged in popularity in the last decade -- and they have come with a hefty price tag, according to a report published this week.
Researchers estimate that the increased use of certain prostate cancer treatments, such as less invasive surgery and advanced radiation therapy, tacked on an additional $350 million in healthcare spending in one year alone.
The big question remains: is it worth the cost?
"There really isn't data on whether this saves more lives," Dr. Paul Nguyen, the lead author of the study, said.
A minimally invasive surgery for prostate cancer costs a few hundred dollars more than a conventional surgery, the researchers found.
Nguyen said the numbers don't tell the whole story; for one, they may be an underestimate because the study didn't include the upfront costs of installing new machines and training staff to use them.
On the other hand, the numbers may be overestimate. If the newer techniques reduce hospital stays or prevent damage to other tissues, they could save money in the long run, Nguyen said.
The National Institutes of Health estimates that prostate cancer treatments cost about $12 billion each year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 200,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year and nearly 30,000 die.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
Americans who think immigrants don't appreciate American culture and history might want to bone up on it themselves. Newsweek asked 1,000 native-born Americans to take the basic citizenship test that immigrants have to take, and 38 percent of them flunked it. 44 percent couldn't define what the Bill of Rights was, 29 percent couldn't name the current Vice President, and 6 percent couldn't even circle Independence Day on a calendar. It's the Fourth of July.
* It's not that day in April when you've finally earned enough to pay all your taxes for the year?
And I leave you with this thought.
"Truth alone will endure, all the rest will be swept away before the tide of time."
