Apparently Simon Cowell would have rather had Britney Spears beating cars with umbrellas again on 'X Factor' instead of just, you know, showing up late once in a while.
The crankypants Brit wanted his own highly-paid Brit to be more entertaining and a bit more of a loose cannon on the struggling Fox show, but instead she was just sort of ... off.
October 29, 2012 Some students at Colorado State University in Fort Collins have found a fun way to socialize and stay active. They play quidditch. Yes, the same game created by author J.K. Rolwing in her Harry Potter book series.
And CSU even has a quidditch team that travels to compete as part of the International Quidditch Association. (Yes, it does exist!
If I had to pick my least favorite thing about Summertime, it wouldn’t be the heat. It would be the mosquitos. Those blood-sucking little buggers leave me itchy for weeks! Add to that the fact that they carry diseases like West Nile Virus and H1N1 Flu, and there’s really no good reason to put up with them. And luckily, scientists seem to agree. Read on to see what their plan is!
It seems like most people text with their phones more than they talk on them these days. I text all the time, and I’m not always sure why. It takes more effort to type out thoughts on a tiny keyboard, rather than just say them. Plus, it’s impossible to know someone’s inflection and tone of voice through text.

I’ll admit, though, that every time I order something online, there’s that little part of me that asks, “What if they get the order wrong?” I’m usually able to dismiss these thought as me just being paranoid; but this story proves that the way I like shop isn’t completely fool-proof.
Believe it or not, I only recently became acquainted with Mediterranean cuisine. But with all the Greek restaurants and gyro carts popping up in Fort Collins, it was kind of hard to avoid! One of the things I thought I would never like was falafel. Fried, mashed-up chick-peas? It just didn't sound very appetizing. Little did I know that trying it once would shoot it right up my list of favorite foods. That's why this world record looks so delicious to me!
As a radio DJ, I know firsthand how crazy people can be when it comes to Nickelback. Last time we gave away tickets, the phone lines were lit up long after they were all gone. This story teaches us that, if you can't win tickets, just buy them. Don't try to sneak in. Especially if you're drunk.
