Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been attending her court-mandated shoplifting classes -- but she still has a long way to go before completing her required community service. A source told RadarOnline.com, "Lindsay has completed around 45 hours of her service at the women's shelter. Lindsay does have a full year to comply with all terms of her community service." Earlier this year, the starlet was ordered complete 360 hours at the Downtown Women's Center and 100 hours at the Los Angeles County morgue.

Celebrity Spotlight
Darius Rucker will return home from Brad Paisley’s European H20 II: Wetter and Wilder Tour to headline his very first U.S. tour this fall. Darius has toured with his buddy Brad since the H20 Tour series began in 2010, making some great friends along the way. Now, it’s his turn to play host to special guests Rodney Atkins, Thompson Square, Frankie Ballard and Justin Moore, who are more like friends than simply just fellow artists. “You know, when you’re on tour, you hang out a lot. We’re hanging out a lot. We’re having a beer together, playing golf together, and stuff.” The tour will kick off October 6th in Glens Falls, New York, and is currently slated to run through November 12th in Darius’ native Charleston, South Carolina.

MAN CAVE
The Jacksonville Jaguars released starting quarterback David Garrard on Tuesday in a surprise move just days before the season opener. Luke McCown, who outplayed Garrard and rookie Blaine Gabbert in the preseason, was given the starting job.
Tuesday's (September 6th) full slate of games at the U.S. Open were canceled yesterday at Flushing Meadows in New York due to steady rain. The matches canceled included four men's singles fourth round matches and two women's singles quarterfinals matches.
E-Mail “Inbox”
Hey Don my name is Steve and I’ve been listening for years. So I’m emailing you because my friends and I were debating on haircut etiquette. To make a long story short I’m trying out a new barber this week after mine moved away.
I asked my friend what I should do if I notice he’s cutting my hair all wrong and he told me I should stop him and tell him to fix it. I’ve never done this before and was wondering if all guys tell their barbers to fix their haircuts mid cut or if that’s just my friend?
Do you think it’s ok to do that?
Signed,
Steve
Well Steve, you can try, but if the Barber is too far into the cut, your out of luck. But look on the bright side, the difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut. Two weeks!
HEALTH MOMENT
Children who have a hard time passing up one cookie now with the promise of more later will probably have just as hard a time resisting temptation as adults, according to a new study.
Researchers found children who had difficulty delaying gratification as preschoolers were more likely to seek instant gratification as adults. They also showed differences in brain activity that may be linked to self-control issues.
"This is the first time we have located the specific brain areas related to delayed gratification. This could have major implications in the treatment of obesity and addictions," says study researcher B.J. Casey, in a news release. Casey is director of the Sackler Institute for Developmental Psychobiology at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City.
The study is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

BREAK TIME CHATTER
#1.) This proves a dog doesn't need to be BIG to be a hero . . . it just needs a really annoying bark. On Friday morning, in Utah, a TOY POODLE that weighs less than 10 pounds SAVED its 19-year-old owner from a house fire. When firefighters got to the house, the 19-year-old was trapped inside . . . and the poodle barked at the firefighters until they followed him in the right direction to the basement to save the guy.
#2.) Frankly, I'd be surprised if this number was any LOWER. A new survey found that nine out of ten teenagers admit they're EMBARRASSED by their parents. The two main sources of embarrassment are when their parents dance a little too enthusiastically at weddings . . . and when their parents engage in public displays of affection.
I use to embarrass my kids dancing to grocery store music while shopping.
And I leave you with this thought…
"You see things; and you say "Why?" But I dream things that never were; and I say "Why not?"
