MY SHIRT JUST THREW UP ON MY HEAD.


So I just had to take a moment to send many congratulations to the one and only unstoppable M.I.A. for dropping a healthy baby just days after performing at the Grammy's.

LOS ANGELES — Call her Mamma M.I.A. The Grammy- and Oscar-nominated rapper has announced on her MySpace blog that she has given birth to a son.

The rapper wrote Saturday that her baby is "healthy, fine, beautiful" and the most amazing thing on this planet. She jokes that the two are working together on a tour.

The father is her fiance, musician Benjamin Bronfman. A representative says the couple have declined to release the baby's name.

The "Paper Planes" singer had a scene-stealing performance at the Grammys on Sunday. She strutted on stage with her swollen belly during a performance with Kanye West, Jay-Z, T.I. and Lil Wayne. The rapper says she started going into labor hours later.


I'm loving watching her cross over to dabble in the mainstream. Unfortunately she was woefully underused at the Grammy's. What do y'all think? At this rate, she will live on in that beautiful territory where such seminal, above the fray female artists like Bjork, Tori Amos and Ani DeFranco play.


Have y'all heard that tonight's episode of The Simpsons will be the series’ first ep that airs in HD and to commemorate this achievement, Matt Groening and team will be debuting a new main title opening sequence — the first in the show’s 19 year history:



After 20 years the Simpsons have changed their opening sequence. Tonight the show had its premier in HD and with it brought the first revamp of the main titles since 1989.

While some of the old parts remain (Bart still writes on the chalk board, Lisa still saxes her way out of music class, and Homer still throws radioactive material down his shirt) most of it has changed to catch up on 20-seasons worth of character additions. Apu's octuplets now appear in the opening as do Maggie's nemesis, the unibrow baby, and the crazy Texan millionaire, all added since the original sequence was created.

As a side note to fans, check out Marge's groceries, they have changed to include tomacco juice, and Mr. Sparkle detergent.

Wow, I have to say, the new HD looks great! Kudos them. Loves it.


How did I miss the memo that The Amazing Race was already back on the air?!


Seriously, CBS did like zero promotions on this new season. It's not like this show's garnered them countless Emmy's or anything.. I didn't even think to set the ol' TiVo. Thank god for surfthechannel.com! Have y'all heard about this site? Life saver.

So this 3 day weekend was well needed. Remember that movie Falling Down? Yeah, that was about to happen.. I had my first good Valentine's Day in years (thanks to Burrito King), we ran up to Santa Barbara to have a VIP, behind the scenes tour of the zoo thanks to one of my oldest friends, Sam and last night we went off at Club Papi with the boys and a j'amazing performance from Kat DeLuna. Click here to check out some fun clips from the zoo. I've posted my favorite below (tee-hee).



This weekend should fly by. Andrew's off to Puerto Vallarta Wednesday and I'll go down and meet him Saturday for his birthday celebrations. Off to the gym and The Abbey tonight for our boy Jesse's birthday and to give love to Candis and Marco at their weekly show

No, no. That wasn't a question.
