Hey, this is the entertainment industry after all. Artists are subject to temptations day after day.
Blake Shelton has earned a reputation as a flirt, but now an insider reveals that it was Miranda Lambert's flirting just months after Blake had proposed that nearly destroyed their relationship.
The insider tells Life & Style, on stands now, that Miranda fell for the opening act on her Revolution tour, Eric Church, four months after her engagement to Blake.
"She just wouldn't keep her hands off Eric," the insider shares. "Miranda was getting really frisky with Eric." So frisky, in fact, that the source reveals, "They postponed their wedding invitations going out because of Miranda’s behavior."

Beaver Kills Fisherman By Biting Him To Death
Animals are getting more dangerous every year it seems. It must be something in the water! These beavers can weigh up to sixty-five pounds and stand three feet tall!
A man in Belarus, which is located between Russia and Poland, has died after a beaver literally bit him to death.
The man, who was on his way to a fishing trip with friends, spotted the large animal on the side of the road as they made their way towards the lake and stopped to have his picture taken with it. But when he picked it up, the beaver attacked and began biting him, eventually slicing open a large artery in his leg. The 60-year old man bled to death before his friends could get help.
"The character of the wound was totally shocking," said the village doctor Leonty Sulim. "We had never run into anything like this before."

A Minnesota University sells beer at the stadium and LOSES money? What?
How is this possible? A college that sells beer to students at the stadium, yet LOSES money? Ok, it's not what your thinking. It wasn't because the students got loaded at the dorms before the game and didn't buy when they got there.
Big 10 college University of Minnesota hasn’t won a conference title in football since 1967, and somehow lost money selling beer at TCF Bank Stadium in 2012. Minnesota lost $16,000 on beer and wine sales in 2012 — even though it sold nearly $1 million worth of product.
“I think it was a surprise that we lost money,” said David Benedict, the school’s executive associate athletic director. “We were not happy when we realized the fact that we had not shown a net profit.”
We’ll bet it made you unhappy. …In an effort to save face, Minnesota has proposed a new deal to Aramark, its concessionaire at TCF Bank Stadium, which would increase the percentage of wine and beer sales coming back to the school. The university apparently didn’t press the concessionaire in negotiations and settled for a lower percentage, resulting in the loss.
Hey, at least the Gophers went to a bowl game in 2012, so perhaps there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Eight Things You Should NOT Put On Your Resume
1. Weird hobbies
You might think all your weird hobbies make you more interesting in an interview, like maybe they'll be a conversation starter. But actually they just make you look weird.
2. Your private business
Your marital status, religious affiliation, sexual orientation and other private matters shouldn't go on a resume. Employers aren't allowed to take them into account anyway.
3. Big vocabulary words
They won't impress anyone. People who don't know them will resent you, and people who do know them will see through it.
4. Unprofessional-sounding email addresses
If you're still rocking your "SexyLady69@gmail.com" address from junior college, open a new account. It's free and it takes two minutes. If you don't take the job seriously, you won't get it.
5. Sensitive identifying information
Don't give them your social security number before you get the job. You don't know where they're storing that resume, or who gets to see it after you hand it over.
6. Attention-getting tactics
Don't print a resume on colored paper, or use weird fonts or decorations. Hiring managers hate all that stuff, pretty much without exception.
7. Wild career objectives
Don't apply for a job in the mailroom and say you intend to become the CEO.
8. Irrelevant job experience
No one wants to read about your part-time jobs in high school. Stick to the experience that qualifies you for the job you want. If that makes your resume too short, that probably means you shouldn't be applying in the first place.

Horny Fornicating Frogs in Baraboo..
Hey, frogs gotta get some lovin' too! Apparently they are just as noisy when doing the deed as we are!
According to the Portage Daily Register, the small town of Baraboo, Wisconsin has received two complaints this month about noise coming from one couple's home.
However, rather than finding the homeowner's jamming out to loud music, the responding officer found a group of frogs "getting down" and making mating calls at full throat.
"Every spring, this happens," homeowner Debbie Alsip said to the Register.
"It has woke us up before, if we have our windows open."
As Alsip explains it, the frogs release a loud, shrill sound as they seek out mates.
When Officer Mike Pichler arrived at the scene, he discovered around a dozen frogs at the pond.
"You don’t see that many frogs at one time unless they're mating," Alsip added.
Pichler said he saw a couple of the frogs develop large bulges in their throats as they croaked to one another and even spotted a pair of horny toads mating.
In his report, Pichler said he could hear the noise from his parked squad car.

Ten Dumbest Excuses to Get Out of Work
A new survey asked bosses to name the
dumbest excuse they had ever heard from an employee trying to get out of
work. After reading the responses, I'm convinced that these people probably missed a lot of school in the past as well.
Here's the top 10:
#10.) "I dyed my hair the wrong color."
#9.) "My dog is scared and I don't want to leave him."
#8.) "I drank too much and fell asleep on someone's floor, but I don't know where I am."
#7.) "I'm taking a bath and my toe is caught in the faucet."
#6.) "My pants split on the way to work."
#5.) "The dog ate my shoes."
#4.) "I hurt myself during sex."
#3.) "I'm stuck in the house because the door is broken."
#2.) "My girlfriend bit me in a 'sensitive' place."
#1.) "My mom just died" - from an employee who'd used that excuse once before.

Hey Minnesotans, you may be swimming in COCAINE.
Trace amounts of DEET in the lake? Sure, that's believable, but cocaine? Well, there are a lot of lakes in Minnesota, and it's not so crazy to think cocaine has found it's way into some of them.
A cornucopia of man-made chemicals — including cocaine, DEET, synthetic estrogen, antibiotics, antidepressants and plastics derivatives — are finding their way into even isolated Minnesota lakes, an indication that some contamination is becoming the norm for virtually all the state’s waters.
Scientists studied 50 lakes across Minnesota chosen at random and tested them for 127 compounds. All but three tested positive, with varying concentrations of one or more chemical. The insect repellent DEET was found in 76 percent of the lakes, and cocaine, in a finding that stunned the researchers, was found in 32 percent.
"That was astonishing," said Mark Ferrey, lead researcher for the new report, which was released Monday by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (PCA) and is the most comprehensive to date in a series of studies examining chemical contamination in Minnesota lakes and rivers.
"We need to look in the mirror," he said. "No matter what we use, it finds its way into the environment."

Who gets this upset over pickles?
We live in a messed up world. There is always another bizarre story to tell.
Why one must get so angry over the amount of pickles on their sandwich is beyond me.
Police said Tina Drouin, 49, ordered a steak-and-cheese sandwich at the Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs eatery at the Quincy subway station Saturday and complained about how it was being prepared and said there were "too many pickles" on it, CNN reported Monday.
"It appeared the Nathan's employee could simply not please Drouin," police said.
Drouin demanded a refund and allegedly became violent when the worker would not return her money. She allegedly punched the other woman in the face and shoved two large jars of pickles at her, causing the worker to fall to the ground.

But Mr. Wizard, you said the potion would make me invisible?
Wow, just WOW. After you become invisible why not hop in the Delorean and do some time travel as well?
Never trust strangers. That is something most of us were taught by our parents or guardians at an early stage of our life, especially if the stranger says he is a sorcerer who can turn you invisible whilst you rob a bank!
Unfortunately, for one man in Iran, he
made the mistake of trusting a fake sorcerer who convinced him that he
was invisible and could rob a bank safely. The man explained to the
court that he had paid five million rials (around $500) to a wizard
imposter, who in return gave him a set of spells to tie to his arm. The
fake sorcerer explained to him that the spells would make him invisible,
and that he could then rob banks all he wanted.

Waffle Taco....Hmmm interesting
I would smash one of these. Of course, this is coming from a guy that had a plate of around eight pieces of french toast and half a pound of bacon the other night. Yes, breakfast before bed LOL.
Taco Bell is testing their Waffle Taco at select Orange County locations in Southern California. With Dunkin' Donuts and Jack in the Box using waffles in sandwich form over the last couple years, Taco Bell decided it was time to give it shot.
The Waffle Taco is currently listed at 89 cents (items in test phase are commonly offered at a low price) and features a sausage and scrambled egg folded into a waffle. A packet of syrup is properly included.
Hangover food perhaps?

Can you drink beer through your ear?
I like to drink beer, but I never really go for chugging it. I certainly never thought about chugging it through EAR! So I come across this video, and wonder, is this really possible? I am a bit skeptical as the bottom of the cup is never really shown in clear view in the vid, and it's possible they were draining the beer out the bottom of it.
Click the link, watch it, and LMK what you think.

Troll obsession? Nahhh.
Alright, I had a troll or two...when I was 10. This woman, however, has over 3000. She also dresses like them. In fact, if her husband would allow it, she would like to DO IT with a troll mask on. WOW, obsessed much?
38 year old mother of one Michelle Kerrins started her troll collection when she was just 10. You can just imagine where it has gone from there! She dedicates four days out of the week to hit the flea markets and thrift stores looking for more. She has a "troll sanctuary" where she dresses up like them, and even throws the outfits on to flirt with her husband.
My advice to the husband: RUN. NOW. RUN FAST!

Drugs are bad....Mmmmkayyy?
You obviously can't be in the proper state of mind if you think 911 is the go-to hotline for resolving issues between yourself and your drug dealer. Wow.
A Wilmington, North Carolina 911 dispatcher received an unusual complaint Tuesday, when a man said that he wanted to file a police report after a drug dealer allegedly failed to bring him the marijuana and cocaine that he had paid for.
In the 911 call, the caller, identified as Dave, claimed that he had met with his drug dealer and given him $80 in exchange for the drugs. The man who took the money then reportedly told Dave he would go get the drugs, and would meet him at the gas station, but he never showed up there.
"I'm waiting on this guy to do the right thing," Dave said at one point the 911 dispatcher.
Dave also said that what the reported drug dealer had done to him was unlawful. He referred to two people in the beginning of the phone call, but later only talked about one man taking his money.

A cure for gray hair!
I'll admit, I have a few gray hairs. Heck, mine showed up in my mid 20's! Although I'm generally just fine with that, I would rather they NOT be there. ;)
For generations, numerous remedies have been concocted to hide gray hair," said Dr. Gerald Weissmann, editor-in-chief of The Journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, which published the new study, "but now, for the first time, an actual treatment that gets to the root of the problem has been developed. In 2009, this group reported that gray hair is triggered by the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide, which generates harmful oxidative stress, in the roots of hair follicles.
The same process is suspected to occur in certain cases of vitiligo - a rare disease. Commonly known for causing patchy depigmentation in the skin, vitiligo can also make eyelashes turn white.
To investigate a possible link between oxidative stress and vitiligo, the researchers analyzed skin biopsies from patients with the disease. They found low levels of a special enzyme called catalase, which breaks down hydrogen peroxide and relieves oxidative stress.
Patients with facial vitiligo were given a cream containing a 'pseudo-catalase' that is activated by sunlight. After applying the remedy and spending time in the sun, skin pigment returned.
Hair color in the eyelashes also returned, demonstrating that the medical ointment could also repair gray hairs.

Do YOU look like a celebrity? You could be making a LOT of money.
You know, I've been told I look like a few different rockers, depending on how long my hair is and my facial hair configuration LOL. Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters, and Chris Navarro of Janes Addiction. Yeah, my website pic doesn't really look like either one!
This chick? Yeah, that's not Britney Spears!
Michaela Weeks, a Britney Spears look-alike living in Ilkeston, U.K., rakes in around $500,000 per year as a professional Britney impersonator, The Sun reports.
The 24 year old, who has impersonated the pop singer for the past eight years in appearances around the world, owns two houses, designer clothes and sports cars, according to The Sun.
"If I ever get to meet (Britney), I want to thank her for giving me this life," Weeks told The Sun.
Weeks makes musical appearances with "live vocals" and "replica dance routines," according to her website, which says she is available to perform at weddings, birthday parties, corporate events and other types of events.

Careful what you eat...it may be RAT.
When I was growing up, I had heard stories of going to Chinese restaurants and how "that may not be chicken in the chow-mein". Well, there is a bit of truth to that it seems!
Police in China have smashed a crime ring that sold meat from rats and other animals as rat meat, in a case that left the public disgusted and highlighted the need for more food safety regulations in the world's most populous nation.
The 60-member ring took in more than $1 million, and increased to nearly 1,000 the number of people arrested since the end of January for selling tainted meat products, the Ministry of Public Security said on its website on Thursday.

It was only a matter of time, a new reality show "Top Hooker" is underway!
A major channel has ordered Top Hooker, an unscripted competition series that puts a diverse group of 10 competitors through a series of crazy challenges to determine who is the best in the business — and only one can come out on top to collect a $30,000 prize.
At this point, I should probably mention Top Hooker is on Animal Planet. And it's about fishing.
In the spirit of popular fishing reality shows Rivers Monsters and Hillbilly Handfishin' comes Top Hooker, where the world's best anglers (including contestant Larysa, above) are pitted against each other for out-of-the-box fishing challenges. The provocatively titled show, sure to lure channel surfers, will have anglers capturing fish using only their mouths, zipline fishing and catching fish that are nearly invisible to the naked eye.
