Loyal reader, BevG, emailed me to say her daughter is a big fan of a show called “True Blood.” I’ve never heard of the show but I told her I would look into it. Coincidentally, blogger Perez Hilton has a post up about “True Blood.” Do you watch the show?

Over 3.7 million viewers tuned in to watch the premiere, which caused the ratings to go up 157% from the first season’s premiere. Shall they thank the Twilight fans for that?

And it seems the show’s DVD sales are doing pretty good as well!

In fact, True Blood: The Complete First Season DVD has sold over 1 million copies!

The disc set was released four weeks ago and has already made $35 million in total sales.

Disclaimer: I was not paid a dime to write this post, but I can’t say the same about Perez.

This amazing photo of an erupting volcano punching a hole through a cloud was snapped by the crew of the International Space Station orbiting around the planet earth.

The volcanic eruption on a Russian island in the North Pacific spewed smoke, ash and steam thousands of miles into the atmosphere causing the clouds to scatter. The full story is here.

Actress Farrah Fawcett died at 12:28 pm Eastern time at at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, CA. Fawcett was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006. She was 62 years old.

You may know her as Angel Lola Love, the video vixen and print model who rose to fame thanks to her ample butt cheeks that were artificially enhanced with silicone.

Lola is tired of being renowned for her enhanced butt, so now she has embarked upon a rap career and she has reinvented herself as Lola Monroe.

Lola has a new track out titled “Anything You Want” featuring Soulja Boy.

LISTEN: Anything I Want

Speaking of butt injections: last week I had an interesting conversation with a longtime reader who told me how all these chicks in Atlanta are getting their butt cheeks pumped full of silicone like it ain’t no thang.

She said there’s an Asian chick here who takes appointments by word of mouth only. The FDA would frown upon her side hustle so she’s not listed in the phone book.

Barack Obama had another “Joe the Plumber” moment during an ABC News’ special on health care reform, anchored from the White House by Diane Sawyer and Charles Gibson.

Obama opened his mouth and stuck his foot in it when a neurologist asked him if he would seek other “extraordinary” alternatives to his proposed government run public health plan if diagnostic tests weren’t performed in a timely manner for his wife or children — which is exactly what the wealthy from socialized countries do now.

As a registered nurse I have cared for wealthy foreign patients who were denied timely medical care in their own countries where health care is socialized.

From ABC News:

Dr. Orrin Devinsky, a neurologist and researcher at the New York University Langone Medical Center, asked the president pointedly if he would be willing to promise that he wouldn’t seek such extraordinary help for his wife or daughters if they became sick and the public plan he’s proposing limited the tests or treatment they can get.

[Obama replied] if “it’s my family member, if it’s my wife, if it’s my children, if it’s my grandmother, I always want them to get the very best care.”

So in other words, what’s good for the rest of us is not good enough for Obama and his kinfolk?

America is the last country in the free world where all citizens (and illegal immigrants) have the same access to quality health care (via emergency rooms).

We don’t want socialized medicine here. Medicare and Medicaid programs are already in place for those who are uninsured. Obama should work on expanding those programs instead of implementing a government monopoly insurance plan that would drive private insurance companies out of business and force our dependency on the government for health care.

Anyone who’s ever been to a free clinic knows what I’m talking about.

You already know what I think.

Actress Tichina Arnold, left, and Malinda Williams, right, attended my nephew DJ D-Nice’s birthday party at Taj in NYC last night. I can’t tell you how old he is. It’s a family secret. Let’s just say he ages well.

Newcomer Jeremih posed in the dressing room between sets during Power Live at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill last night in NYC. Jeremih, who was in Atlanta last week, will return to the A next week where he has a few gigs on tap. Jeremih is really popular with the Kids all of a sudden.
