I double dog dare you to watch that clip and not laugh.Ok....that ate up five minutes....twenty five minutes to tip off.... it is close enough to 3pm game time start imbibing and disco dancing....Technorati Tags: kansas state university, college basketball, ksu, wildcats, viral video

Friday's Gossip Tidbit and Wildcat Noshies 2008-03-07 17:19:16 Today's Gossip
NewsJackson 5 reunion? Don't hold your breath...In November, Jermaine Jackson told the BBC that the group "is in the studio at the moment" and a full-scale reunion is set for "sometime in 2008." "We feel we have to do it one more time. We owe that to the fans and to the public," he said."In the studio at the moment" ? Sorry Jermaine, but your brother, shopping for drapes to hang over his turkey baster kids' faces, in a store named "Studio" does not set the stage for a reunion.Unfortunately Michael is now a complete nut bar with extra cashews and I don't think we will ever see him performing again. He is just too fragile mentally.A recent picture of Jermaine just reinforces the idea that plastic surgery is not a friend to the Jackson family.... (except maybe Janet---plea to Read more:Friday
Love Is In The Air... 2008-03-05 17:04:17 Wildcat NewsSenior Night...love is in the airThe Aging Disco Diva has never hidden the fact that she thinks Clent Stewart is an awesome kid (Yes, I am an old lady, so I can call him a kid) who not only is a very good basketball player, a fantastic student and a wonderful representative of all that is great about Kansas State University, he is an amazing young man who has had a lot of adversity in his life that he has handled with dignity and class. Last night was senior night and traditionally the seniors give their mother's roses and a hug before tip-off. Vanessa Stewart, his mom, passed away last month but was smiling last night as Clent's girlfriend Stephanie stepped in to receive the roses...and a little something extra:Wildcat Women's basketball newsThe woman play tonight---time to p
First You Say It, Then You Do It... 2008-03-04 11:04:35 Bill Cosby had a cute routine about mothers' obsession with clean underwear: "If you ever have an accident, I hope you have on clean underwear" The punchline was it does not matter if your underwear is clean if you are involved in an accident because you will sheyat them anyway"First

African Crotch Disease 2008-03-03 16:00:29 Read It and ItchThis morning as I nibbled daintily on my cholesterol clogging pastries and serenely sipped my double-strength espresso I stumbled upon the latest Amy Winehouse news: She has the creeping crud on her face and it is highly contagious.The singer has been diagnosed with impetigo, her spokesman confirms to PEOPLE.It's a bacterial skin infection that causes pimple-like lumps – and is "is highly contagious, and scratching or touching the sores is likely to spread the infection to other parts of the body as well as to other people," according to the Mayo Clinic's Web site. As for how the singer's feeling, "She's fine," a pal tells PEOPLE. "She's not hiding away. She's never been one to care what people think."That is almost enough to take a Disco Diva off her feed...

Friday's Fritters and Some Cheesecake Too! 2008-02-29 12:00:02 Didn't You Used to be Famous?It is a rather slow news day...the perfect time to remind you that at one time the Aging Disco Diva graced the covers of every fabulous magazine in the world...well, alright....in my dreams....but that counts.Drudge is a slug without a shellDrudge, the sludge, put (IMHO) Price Harry in great danger by reporting that he was deployed in Afghanistan. Harry is the royal who, thank goodness, looks NOTHING like the horsey set on his *wink-wink-wink* father's side.Whatcha think? I just don't see the resemblance....but as always, I digress....

Too Stupid To Remember To Breath 2008-02-27 10:52:31 The shallow end of the gene pool....Ya' know something? In the old days (I mean the really, really old days) Mother Nature took care of those human beings who are so stupid that you if you stood too close you could literally feel your brain cells being sucked out of your head by the vast intelligence vacuum in theirs. Back then the truly stupid would walk up to a saber toothed tiger and say "Oh look, how cu...." and before they could finish the sentence they were kitty chow and mercifully removed from the human gene pool. Unfortunately that is no longer the case and the severely stupid not only survive, they often end up on reality TV. Case in point:Stupid

Frap Frenzy 2008-02-26 17:30:49 A code red alert has been issued after news hit that Starbucks will be closed for three hours today. Papa Spears has made arrangements for emergency provisions and the mansion is stocked with plenty of frappuccinos for Britney. The Aging Disco Diva actually lives in a town that does not have a Starbucks (Yes, I am languishing in Java Hell) so she is glad to see the world will share her pain, if even for a few hours.Everyone will have to do what I am forced to do: get a minion...I mean.... beloved employee, to do something called BREW A POT OF COFFEE. For the cost of a single fancy Starbucks cuppa I can buy the ingredients necessary to make enough coffee to last a week for a normal person....or half a morning for an Aging Disco Diva.

The Aging Disco Diva Dishes Oscar 2008-02-25 00:01:19 Since somehow my invitations to the Oscar
s and the post-award parties were misplaced in the mail my snarkiness levels as I watch this evening are climbing in direct proportion to every lame joke, fake smile and silicon body part being flashed. So with no further ado here are my Oscar musings:As I shared last night, America's rehab clinics and psych wards were emptied so that our favorite, and not-so-favorite, celebs could make an appearance on the Red Carpet. The first escaped loony to make his mark was Gary Busey. Gary decided to maul poor Jennifer Garner while she and Laura Linney were being interviewed by the qu...I mean king of E!

The Diva is not a Huckabee supporter, but he is an endearing little PIA... and anyone who enjoys thumbing their noses at the powers-that-be is A-OK in my book:Hillary and Obama are such a cute couple aren't they?

Internet Acronym Lessons--Part Deux 2008-02-20 12:33:05 Remember our little lesson on the acronym "TMFI" last week? Well the Aging Disco Diva has a new one for everyone today: "UV"Nope, this has nothing to do with light rays, ozone or the sun. Our "UV" is short for "Unpleasant Visual" and thanks to today's gossip news, we have a wonderful example of UV that is gar-ran-teed to not only demonstrate what a UV is, it will also repulse and help you with any weight loss plans you may be entertaining.Read it and wretch:A sex video allegedly featuring KISS bassist Gene Simmons has surfaced on www.******com.

Open Letter from the Stewart Family 2008-02-18 15:00:42 Time to take a small break from the silliness of celebrity gossip:The Stewart
family released this beautiful letter today thanking fans everywhere who sent their thoughts and prayers after the passing of Vanessa Stewart. I wanted to share this with those of you who, though were not Kansas State Wildcat fans, have told me that you started following this story after reading about it on this blog. Mr. Stewart continues to make the trip up from Oklahoma to watch Clent play each home game, but seeing that empty seat next to him just brings a lump to the throat of every member of the Wildcat Nation.Courtesy: Kansas State University Release: 02/18/2008MANHATTAN, Kan. - Senior guard Clent Stewart and his family released the following open letter to the Wildcat nation to thank them for thei Read more:Family

Soon to be the Ms. Ex-Macca News 2008-02-18 13:54:15 Macca and Heather fail to reach settlementHeather Mills, Britain's favorite succubus bint, was not able to convince Sir Paul that she was entitled to half his fortune and his bronzed man-berries to wear about her lovely neck so it is now up to a judge to decide what she is worth. Of course....the Aging Disco Diva has a pretty solid idea what Ms. Mills has earned and would not even award her a pot to--but luckily for Heather my polyester grandeur was not requested by the British court.You do have to admit though, Heather does bring some merriment to the world. Who else can, without having a clue, cause so many people to laugh?According to a couple of overseas tabloids Heather, not one to let the moss gather under her gold-digging little heels, has already compiled a check list for her next Read more:Macca
Wildcat happenings 2008-02-17 20:25:08 Before discussing the awesome weekend our Kansas State athletes had I thought it would be fun to share this video clip of Will Ferrell, proudly sporting his KSU sweatshirt.Here is the description of the clip (warning they do use the "f" word so if you are faint of heart... Don't f'n play the f'n clip!):What in the hell is Will Ferrell doing in the Little Apple (Manhattan, Kansas)? Eric Melin, co-host of Scene-Stealers.com, caught up with the comedy genius while on the first stop of his Funny Or Die College Comedy Tour. He was also promoting his new movie about the American Basketball Association, "Semi-Pro." After taking a brief tour of Manhattan's highpoints (i.e., the bars), Eric journeyed to a sold-out Bramlage Coliseum where Will f***ing Ferrell performed with Zach Galifianakas, Demetr
Sunday Bloody Sunday 2008-02-17 14:36:55 It is Sunday
afternoon and The Aging Disco Diva is out of champagne.... and I live in a state that takes the condition and care of my soul seriously, hence liquor sales are banned on Sunday. Not that it makes much of a difference...it is an f'n ice box outside right now so I am basically housebound, and my champagne budget is in the red anyway. I would love to use my time online making a million dollars (like all the come-on ads and articles promise) but a quick peek at my Adsense account shows that I have earned a whopping $6.00 in click revenue since the beginning of January so my first online million dollar payday appears to be oh...five or six centuries away.I could do my daily online sweepstakes entries (I plan on winning $350,000 this year) but I will probably hold off doing that un

TMFI...Too Much F'n Information....ever ponder exactly what that means? Ponder no more, here is a perfect example:Gary Coleman, aged 40, the former "Different Strokes" child star, secretly married Shannon Price, aged 22 last August. In an interview with The Insider, Coleman admits that he was a virgin before meeting Miss Price, and even after more than a year together, he remains a virgin.“It’ll happen when it will happen. And it will happen for all the right reasons.”OK.... totally "Too Much F'n Information" Who in the hell would even WANT to ask Gary if he was doing the horizontal mambo with his bride?

Yes, you read that correctly (strike three, game over)Bai Ling was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport yesterday for allegedly shoplifting two tabloids and a package of AAA batteries.

Must Been a Really Bad Case of Constipation 2008-03-12 14:01:19 I wonder how many matches she went through?Not to be outdone in the area of WTF? news, my adopted homeland of Kansas has produced this gem today:Woman spent 2 years sitting on boyfriend’s toiletIs this story full of cree-yap perhaps?A 35-year-old woman who apparently spent two years in her boyfriend’s bathroom in Ness City had become stuck to the toilet seat, authorities said Wednesday.“She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body. It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself,” Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said in a telephone interview, adding that it appeared her body fat had grown attached to the seat.Authorities planned to present their report to the county attorney later Wednesday to see if any charges should be
Ho No, or Whatta a Little Spitzer! 2008-03-11 14:27:42 This morning the Aging Disco Diva found herself in the midst of a crisis---I plunged my coffee scoop into the canister and came up with air. A look inside revealed a horror that rivaled anything Tobe Hooper could put on film---a few lousy coffee granules, not even enough for an espresso snort.Wobbling and weaving under the effects of extreme caffeine withdrawal I managed to crawl into the exploding Pinto. Scraping dried, weeks old latte debris from the bottom of a discarded Styrofoam cup I found in the back seat and licking them off of my trembling fingers gave me the strength to drive the half mile or so to our local "Pay More and Buy Less" supermarket. I made a bee line to the coffee isle and dumped a scoop of industrial strength coffee beans into the grinder, placed my open mouth undern Read more:Spitzer
New York Knows How To Do It Right! 2008-03-10 20:16:56 Political GossipThe Aging Disco Diva has actually lived in Kansas a lot longer than she lived in New York

I lived in the Big Apple for the first 18 years of my life and then moved to Kansas to attend college in the early 1970s (Yes, I am 29 years old in Diva Years) but I will always have a soft spot in my heart (and head) for my native land because...well, damn it...New Yorkers do it right. We don't half arse anything...if we are going to do something we...go...all...the...way.First: The Sunflower State ScandalThis past winter Kansans were aghast because Paul Morrison, the state attorney general, was caught playing "horizontal dictation" and "hide the sharpie" with one of his coworkers.

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooal! 2008-03-14 19:13:19 The Aging Disco Diva traveled yesterday to the land of the Chickenhawks for a meeting, and though I did enjoy (as always) seeing my awesome colleagues and having as much fun as one can possibly have at a mandatory meeting (which given that I have the world's greatest job usually means a lot of fun) I woke up this morning with a massive headache. If this was a hangover headache I would at least have some great, if somewhat blurry, memories to tide me over, but alas...this is just a plain ole'"You-are-getting-too-damn-old-to-wake-up-at-4:30am-and-travel-three-hours-to -and-three-hours-from-a-meeting" headache, which are not nearly as much fun as a champagne induced brain splitter.
