CELEBRITY GOSSIP:
She made $5 million of her sex tape. And $18 million off her wedding.
Might Kim Kardashian break into the 10 figures by selling exclusive rights to her baby photos?
Unfortunately, we're likely to find out soon, as Kim told People Magazine last night that she's already contemplating children.
"Being a mom is something I've always wanted, so I would love to be one someday," she said, perhaps giving us an idea of why she'd want to remove all naughty tape material from the Internet.

Celebrity Spotlight
Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood’s duet, “Remind Me” is the #1 song on the country charts this week. The song has all the makings of a classic country duet. But, Brad admits his source of inspiration might surprise country fans. “We got the idea from this based on—I’m kinda jealous—of the way Kanye or Eminem—they can take somebody and say ‘Here’s what I want you to say’—and they’re a character in the song. And I don’t think we do enough of that kind of creativity in country music.” Brad and Carrie’s winning chemistry is also a smash off the country charts as well; the two will team up once again to host the 45th Annual CMA Music Awards live on November 9th at 8PM on ABC.
Riddle Me This
I am strongest when you see me as round, but I am often viewed in other forms. I lift & drop the sea with my tremendous strength, and a man with a name like 'powerful bicep' was the first to tread on me.
What am I?

MAN CAVE
NASCAR's most popular driver will stay with the most dominant race team at least through 2017. Hendrick Motorsports on Thursday announced a five-year contract extension with Dale Earnhardt Jr., who heads to Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend trying to clinch his first berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship in three years.
Three more football players are in hot water at Ohio State. As a result, Ohio State might be in even more trouble with the NCAA. The school reported late Thursday afternoon that running back Jordan Hall, defensive back Corey Brown and defensive back Travis Howard each received impermissible benefits of $300 or less earlier this year.
The latest violations took place after several Buckeyes players were suspended for accepting cash and free tattoos from the subject of a federal drug-trafficking probe and Ohio State had ramped up its compliance department to warn athletes not to break NCAA rules.
E-Mail “Inbox”
Why can't guys commit to marriage before the age of 30? The real reason, is it because they want to see what else is out there. I've noticed marriage doesn't usually come until after a baby has been involved.
Signed,
Kristen
Oh I don’t know Kristen, I think we just don’t want to be restrained in any way. I mean, when you get married, you have to act more responsible, and that’s hard for guy’s. We would much rather be irresponsible. It’s more fun. Don’t be bitter, just be patient, we usually come around.
Good Luck
HEALTH MOMENT
Heart attack survivors who anger easily or who are often stressed out may be setting themselves up for another, potentially fatal heart attack, a new study suggests.
Over a 10-year period, more than half of heart attack survivors who had high scores on psychological tests designed to identify people with anger problems had a fatal or non-fatal heart attack, compared with fewer than one-fourth of people who had low scores.
The analysis took into account known risk factors for heart disease, such as age, gender, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
The good news: People can change their behavior.
American College of Cardiology Vice President John Harold, MD, a heart specialist at the University of California, Los Angeles, says the findings reflect what he sees in his own practice.
"When a heart attack patient comes in and exhibits anger or turns beet red or is stressed out, I can almost predict [that they are not going to do well] if they don't change their behavior," he says.
Harold says he often prescribes an ocean cruise for such patients. His point is relaxation may help their health.
Other advice: If a family argument or other stressful situation is getting out of hand, walk away, Harold says. "It's just not worth it."
WHAT’S FOR DINNER
Cheese-Crusted Barbecued Beans
INGREDIENTS:
1 medium Vidalia onions, coarsely chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
4 (16-ounce) cans plain baked beans, drained
1/2 cup catsup
1/4 cup light molasses
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
2 Tablespoons melted butter or margarine
TO PREPARE:
Saute the onions and garlic in the oil in a saucepan for 5 minutes or until golden brown and tender. Remove from heat. Stir in the beans, catsup and molasses. Spoon into a 2-quart baking dish.
Combine the cheese, bread crumbs and butter in a bowl and mix well. Sprinkle over the bean mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until brown and bubbly.
NOTE: Sweet onions, such as Vidalia, are usually only available seasonally. More robust onions can be sweetened by soaking in milk for several minutes after slicing or chopping.
SERVINGS: 12 - 16
BREAK TIME CHATTER
#1.) Remember back when we all thought Microsoft was evil, and wanted the mighty government to step in and break up their monopoly? What a difference a decade makes. In a new Gallup poll, the computer industry ranked as the MOST trusted sector in the U.S. . . . and the federal government ranked DEAD LAST. The restaurant business was the second-most trusted industry . . . and the oil industry was the second-least trusted.
#2.) Denny's just upped their commitment to both deliciousness AND plumping. They've officially unveiled the new Mac 'n Cheese Big Daddy Patty Melt, which is two pieces of bread containing a burger, melted cheddar cheese . . . and MACARONI AND CHEESE. The sandwich checks in at 1,690 calories.
#3.) In Indiana, there's a 46-year-old man named JAMES BOND. And after a lifetime of being made fun of, today, he's FINALLY cooler than that OTHER James Bond. Because this James just won a $6.5 MILLION lottery jackpot. He took the lump sum and just got a check for about $4.5 MILLION.
He requested it be shaken, not stirred.
And I leave you with this thought…
"Inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that's where you renew your springs that never dry up."
