Britney Spears + Daisy Dukes = Yummy

Just when we were getting a little bored with Britney Spears, she goes and brings the sexy in the most simple of ways: cut off denim. So easy, even a caveman would look good in them.

Women of the Week

1) Jennifer Love Hewitt

This week, the original J-Lo got rid of boyfriend Jamie Kennedy, a guy that no one has found entertaining while NOT high since the Clinton administration. She also raised our hopes that we have a chance at dating her since, statistically speaking, it's our turn.

Jennifer Love Hewitt news:


*Jennifer Love Hewitt nervous about being single again

2) Dakota Fanning



It is nice to get some talent out of a generation of actors who think Kristen Stewart is talented (or even human). But Dakota Fanning and her new movie 'The Runaways' has given us hope that someone out there still is worthy of a $10 movie ticket purchase.

3) Lady Gaga


Lady Gaga's on the list for 1) they still make music videos and 2) they still make sexy things in this country? Keep up the good work you weird, sexy, woman(?)

4) Heidi Klum



Heidi Klum has the same values as many of us: Her children, her marriage, her career, and her breasts. We agree, Heidi. Keep (them) up.

CoOlDiGgY Big Balls of the Week
Ralph Nader

Why? Because he made our last week's pick, Dennis Kucinich, look like a sell out for flipping his health care vote instead of a principled change (see video before). We like principle where ever it comes from-left or right. We are hoping for a Nader vs Ron Paul 2012 campaign. The Democratic party is corrupt and the republican party is soulless. Let's start from scratch. Nader '12!!!
