A rep for Copperfield disclosed the news after the couple was recently photographed together. The spokesperson said, "Forget making the Statue of Liberty disappear. David's next trick will be making dirty diapers disappear."
Jennifer Aniston's rep has denied rumors that the actress will be appearing on Days of Our Lives. It was widely reported that the actress would lend her star power to the soap on which her dad, John Aniston, appears.

Celebrity Spotlight
It may look like a big, spontaneous party when Justin Moore hits the stage, but there is a method to his madness. Justin tells us that he and his band like to be loosely prepared for each show -- sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. ["It's real important for us as a band to have a game plan or know exactly what we're gonna do, or atleast have somewhat of an idea of what we're gonna do. I think it makes for a better show for the fans. I don't think it comes across as rehearsed and perfectly thought out because every night there's something different. Maybe I turn around and call a different song than last night or . . . I forgot the words to a song the other night and we just stopped in the middle of it, but that's the kind of stuff that's cool and that people will remember and will take with them for a while, so . . . Or you fall off stage like I did on the Miranda Lambert and that ends up on youtube really quickly."]
Riddle Me This
Forward and forward I go, never looking back. My limit no one knows, more of me do they lack. Like a river I do flow, and an eagle I fly.
Now can you guess, what am I?
I am Time
HOMETOWN HERO’S
Simply put, Hometown Hero’s are people who help others in some way.
Our Hometown Hero(’s) Today is/are Amanda Baynard
My hero is my daughter, Amanda, and she has two beautiful children, Amber and AJ. AJ is severely Autistic. Amanda has weathered the worst, fighting her own health battles. She has never wavered in her hope and optimism for AJ. She has stood by him, rallied for him, and when need be, Mama Bear comes out in her so that he could live a wonderful life. AJ has not missed out on anything, and is a happy 15 year old. This is all due to the relentlessness and love of a mother. There is nothing like the love of a mother.

E-Mail “Inbox”
Don, I’m freaking out because I was staying with my boyfriend while his parents were in Europe and I accidently left one of my nighties in his parents room and he can’t find it.
They got home yesterday and haven’t discovered it yet and he says he keeps looking when they’re downstairs but can’t find it. What should we do if his mom or dad comes across it first? Should we tell them I was staying there before they find the nighty?
Any suggestions?
Signed,
Dawn
Sorry Dawn, you’re on your own here. But, you could…, no never mind, you’re on your own here.
Thanks for listening, good luck.
MAN CAVE
Stay or go? Texas A&M plans to take a while before making a decision on its conference affiliation. School President R. Bowen Loftin said, "We've made no decision about terminating our relationship with the Big 12," Loftin said. "This is all about what is best for Texas A&M, along with ... visibility for us and our athletes and financial resources.
Marcos Ambrose missed his daughter's first day of school. She probably won't mind. The snakebitten Ambrose, deprived more than once of a NASCAR victory, beat the field on a two-lap dash to the checkered flag Monday to win the rain-delayed Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen International. It was his first victory in 105 starts in NASCAR's top series and atoned for a slip-up a year ago on the road course at Sonoma, when he stalled his car under caution while leading with six laps to go and finished sixth.
HEALTH MOMENT
There are many people who suffer from constipation. This can be a debilitating problem for many. Well, there may be relief coming.
Two studies show that a new kind of experimental medication relieves the pain and bloating of persistent constipation better than a placebo.
The studies, which are published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that linoclotide relieved chronic constipation in up to 21% of patients, compared to as many as 6% who were helped on a placebo.
As many as one in five Americans suffer from chronic constipation, meaning that they have fewer than three bowel movements a week for at least three months. The condition is most common in women, the elderly, and people who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome.
There's currently one prescription drug, Amitiza, that's widely used for treating chronic constipation.
Hang in there relief could be right around the corner is you suffer from this problem.

BREAK TIME CHATTER
#1.) Not everything at grocery stores is healthy . . . ever looked at the nutritional info on a tub of frosting? . . . but it sure has healthier options than a fast food restaurant. Which is why this is a somewhat frightening stat: At this point in the U.S., there are FIVE fast food restaurants for every one grocery store.
#2.) Good news and bad news here. The good news: Gas prices are going to go WAY DOWN in the next few weeks, as much as 50 cents. The bad news: That's a sign that we could really be headed for another global recession . . . because weak economies are the cause of lower oil prices. Still . . . cheap gas, right? The average gallon could drop to less than $3.25 by September.
#3.) This is a total sensationalist fear-mongering type of story . . . and it totally works because it scared the hell out of me. According to the American Kennel Club, DOGNAPPINGS are way up this year. In the first seven months of 2011, dog thefts were up 32% from 2010. Almost all dognappings are motivated by money . . . the thief will either hold the dog for random or try to resell it. Now I don’t know about you, but if someone took my dogs, that would make me mad enough to kill.
And I leave you with this thought…
In order to be a realist you must believe in miracles.
