09_brooklyn-decker_22 The big story on tonight’s Edge was about the wedding of Brooklyn Decker and Tennis player Andy Roddick. (Who decided this is the big story? Even people in the underground did not seem to care.)
The firs question (as correctly asked during the show) is: “Who the heck is Brooklyn Decker?” She is a model from Mathews, North Carolina. Her bigges claim to fame is appearances the past three years in Sport Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
Andy first made contact with brooklyn not by phone. He had his Agent call her agent after seeing her in a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. (Yeah! The new way to meet women. Have your agent call their agent. As someone who is single will have to give that one a try.) As someone on the Underground said, Brooklyn has no meat on her bones. Too thin. Well she is no Morgan Fogarty! Morgan is healthy looking. Not looking like Brooklyn or some in Hollywood, who look like they have some very bad disease. So the question for tonight is would you go to Brooklyn’s wedding. It is in Austin. (One of the best places in the country to hear live bands!) Fred mentioned going to Morgan’s wedding. (I was not invited but then again, she has no clue who I am.) But am sure there are many who would want to go to brooklyn’s wedding. Free Food!

Morgan and Fred also talked about the Le Petite Spa which caters to kids. The spa located in North Miami Beach (You didn’t think it was in Shelby did you?) is geared to girls age 4-12. The year-challenged people can be pampered with pedicures, manicures, facials, organic oil body massages, hair styling, cucumber eye treatments (I hate cucumbers! But love pickels, but not pickle eye treatments.) and attend tea parties. The employees wear pink wigs.
There is instruction on body, skin & hair care, relaxation techniques and healthy living. To finish the girls can wear wings, tutus and get to stroll down the runway for the Fairytale Fashion Show. Fred said during the story “Its freaking me out.” Must freak a lot of people out. (Are we trying to get the kids of today growing up waaaayyyy too soon? I think so) They also offer something called the Fairytale Flashing Show. I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW! You can find more information at the Le Petite Youth Spa website.

It was mentioned there was a 58 year old woman in Brazil who was caught in the crossfire and hit by a bullet. Her life was saved by her Bra. It was stuffed with cash and the cash stopped the bullet. (No word on the condition of what else the bra was holding.) Ivonete Pereira was shot while aboard a bus. And shot in the bust (sorry could not help myself) by one of two attackers who tried to rob the bus in Salvador. She had 150 reals (about $60) hidden away. A retired police officer was killed in the clash. Ms. Pereira had to be taken to teh hospital to have the bullet (and probably some of her cash) removed.

Special guest Jordan gross, Panther’s Offnsive Tackle made an appearance on the Edge. He was promoting his Kickball Tournament to help benefit the fight against Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Sure to be a fun event and a great organization it will benefit. You can find out more informatio or get tickets at the Kick Cystic Fibrosis website.

The final story was a tree grows inside a man’s lung. They originally thought it might be a tumor but doctors found a 2″ tall tree. (I have heard of “A Tree grows in Brooklyn” and not the Brooklyn getting married for all you sick people. With a great sense of humor! but never heard of “A Tree grows in a Man.”) I will not post a picture as its just sick!

Ear on Arm A story perfect for the Edge was instead presented by Brien on the news. A man grows an ear on his arm. He is a 61 year old Australian artist and obviously mad. He spent 10 years trying to find a doctor willing to perform the operation. (Probably found more mental doctors who wanted to lock him up. ) It was implanted in 2006. He wants to get a microphone put into it.

The Edge crew discussed the new Panthers’ Schedule. The highlight of the story (and the show) was hearing Morgan say “Yuck.” Morgan was rooting for the Philidephia Eagles. Rebecca was heard off-camera for the Florida Gators. Seemed only Fred supported the local team. Sort of… But this did lead to Morgan doing her Yoda impersonation.

It was brought up that rumors are that Simon wants to leave American Idol. Of course as mentioned it probably is about getting more money. Morgan and Fred (or should it be Fred and Morgan???) said that although Simon has two other shows in England he should keep American Idol because it is big worldwide. THIS IS WRONG!!!
It is big in America. Get it “AMERICAN” Idol. In England (my sister lives there) has Pop Idol and they have no clue to the American version of the show. Similarly there is: Australian Idol, Latin American Idol, Canadian Idol, Pinoy Idol (Philippines), Idols West Africa, Indian Idol, Indonesian Idol, New Zealand Idol, Hay Superstar (Armenia), Idol stjörnuleit (Iceland), Nouvelle Star (France), American Juniors, Idol (Norway), Super Idol (Greece), Idol (Poland), Deutschland sucht den Superstar (Germany), Singapore Idol, Malaysian Idol, Vietnam Idol, Music Idol (Bulgaria), Ídolos (Brazil and Portugal), Solo Idol (Solomon Islands), Super Star (Arab World), Megasztár (Hungary) and Looking For You (Bangladesh) all with the same basic format.

Lindsay Lohan has done a fake E-harmony commercial. She makes fun of herself. (Hard to laugh at some of it as she has done some things that should have had her locked up in jail.) Fred said “She is a moron” but MoFo seems to want to give Lindsay more credit.

Being it is Tuesday it was Pet of the Week time. And now they have a sponsor for it. All about the money. Today it was Camel, an adorable Chihuahua. The dog earned the name becasue his bark sounds like he was smoking camels. Or maybe not. Gus from Project Halo was with Camel this week. It should be noted all of Project HALO’s dogs are up-to-date on their shots and spayed or neutered. You can find out more information about Camel, Project HALO or adopting other dogs from their website.

Morgan had double duty tonight as she took Rebecca Clark’s seat for the 10 O’clock news.
 On the Edge tonight they discussed whether the Charlotte City Council should have their meals paid for by Taxpayers. Each meal averages $17 per person with total cost about $21,000 each year. I say let them brown bag it!!! I don’t spend $17 on myself when I eat out. Golden Corral. uuummmm……..All you can eat. uuummmm…..
 It was also mentioned that Sinbad, Dionne Warwick and Burt Reynolds all owed significant amounts of back taxes and are the top 10 of the California’s 250 worst tax debtors. One Sinbadwould think that they earned enough money to pay their taxes. Nothing but greed. I paid my taxes.  It was just a few days ago but I paid them. Not sure if they reported the amounts owed, correctly. Sinbad (real name Sinbad Adkins) owes $2.5 million; Dionne Warwick $2.2 million and Burt Reynolds made the list at number 244 and owes $225,008.64 in back taxes. This is what they owe the State of California. Nobody knows what they may owe the IRS. Now, where can we find the worst in North Carolina?

   MoFo and Fred talked about the defeated bill in Nevada that would have added a luxury tax on prostitutes. Fred mentioned that people who hire prostitutes should pay just like they do for boats and other luxury items. Morgan said maybe for some people hirinbunnyranchg a prostitute is a necessity….Yeah! The bill would amount to an excise tax of $5 a day on anyone that uses the services of a prostitute, legal or illegal. It was also brought up that The owner of the Bunny Ranch, Dennis Hof had been a guest on the Edge. Missed that one. They did not mention other legal brothels like the Chicken Ranch, Sheri’s Ranch, the Shady Lady and a number of others. Not that I would know. Looked it up!
