David L was in for Brotha’ Fred alongside Morgan Fogarty tonight on Fox Charlotte’s Newsedge.

Tonight’s Top Topic: Should Danica Patrick come to NASCAR?

08_danica-patrick_01
Danica finished third in Sunday’s Indy 500. It was the highest finish in the Indianapolis 500 for a woman. There have been rumours (for a long time) of Danica moving to NASCAR. She has plenty of endorsement deals including XM radio, Motorola and Godaddy. Danica also made the cover of Sports Illustrated back in 2005 among many other magazine appearances. She turned down an offer from playboy to appear nude.
 In March Fox Charlotte had a story about CMS kindergarten teacher Brianne Cronrath. Brianne started racing at the age of 3 and hopes to make it to NASCAR’s big leagues.
 Bruton Smith who owns Lowes Motor Speedway and other NASCAR tracks, stated “It would really be wonderful if we could find some woman who could really offer the appeal, that you’re after and I’m after. It would be great.”
 David & Morgan both said they thought it would be great if Danica Patrick came to NASCAR. (I think it would be great too. But it might also signal the end for Indycars.)

Tonight was the season premiere of Jon & Kate plus 8. Morgan had her husband Jeremy record the episode but was told what happened. THis is a spoiler alert for those that have yet to watch it.
 At a birthday for the sextuplets Kate mentioned this might be the last one. ALso there was mention of Jon apologizing for bad decisions although he said he did not cheat on Kate. He also exprerssed he does not look forward to when his kids grow up and google the whole story. (Should have thought of that before he put himself and his family on television.)
 David said they should get on Pay Per View and box it out.
Morgan mentioned Jon was previous to the show and IT support person and was fired for misappropriating equipment. (These are our role models?)

Seniors at a Portland, Maine High School have Prom Rugby. They play in their prom dresses and players tear off pieces of other players dresses. As The Edge crew pointed out they do not look like real prom dresses but clothes from a thrift store. David said they look like drag queens. (From a search I found that a number of high schools and colleges have prom dress rugby.)

American Idol finalist, Danny Gokey went home to Milwaukee. He said his music career is just getting started. The Time Warner Arena in Charlotte will host the American Idol Live Tour on August 21. Tickets they reported as costing $1000. David said why pay that kind of money when most of them will be working at Wendy’s next year.

Susan Boyle the 48 year old singning sensation in England has moved on to the final 8 in Britain’s Got Talent. She performed “Memory” from the play Cats. Simon Cowell said during the show “You are one special lady, I have to say, you really are.” Simon axctually apologized to Susan.

Billy Joel is being sued by a former drummer named Liberty Devitto. The drummer is claiming Joel owes royalties from 1975 to 2005 for hits that include “Uptown Girl” and  “Movin’ Out.”

Pope Benedict XVI has joined Facebook. He also knows has a personal website you can find HERE.

Students from Phillip O. Berry Academy of Technology are rapping about the EOC tests. They are being used to help remember equations, theories and formulas used on the tests. (West Charlotte High will try the same thing I understand.)

(Must say David L is fun to watch on the Edge. He sometimes starts off looking a bit nervous with the cameras but then seems very relaxed and extremely funny. Hopefully you watched him the last couple of nights or catch him when he appears again. Might be some videos from these shows on the Fox Charlotte website. You can also listen to him, sans cameras on Brotha’ Fred’s A.M. Mayhem on 96.1 the Beat mornings starting at 5:30am.

Miss USAMorgan is back for tonight’s show.
  Tonight’s Top Topic: Did Miss California’s answer on gay marriage cost her the crown? We got to hear Morgan sing the theme song for Miss America although as Fred pointed out it is Miss USA. And not Miss United States of America as Morgan mentioned once. (Think a lot of people get them confused!) 
 Miss North Carolina, Kristen Dalton, age 22 won the Miss USA pageant last night. Besides the crown (probably made of plastic) Miss USA receives a New York apartment for one year, a public relations team, two year scholarship at the New York Film Academy and a salary. For those that really have to know, Miss Wyoming, Cynthia Pate won Miss Congeniality. Miss Dalton (or should we say Miss USA?) has winning beauty pageants in her genes. Her mother was Miss North Carolina in 1982 and her sister was Miss North Carolina Teen in 2008. There is no talent competition in the Miss USA pageant although the top 15 did show off in swimsuits designed by Jessica Simpson.
 But there are those including Fred and Morgan on the Edge who think she won because of how Miss California, Carrie Prejean answered her question on gay marriage. While she was expressing her views it was also pointed out that her wording of an “opposite marriage” did not showcase her communication talent. Morgan said she had an “opposite marriage.” (but really if she was married to Fred wouldn’t that be an opposite marriage?) Her response against gay marriage was asked by judge Perez Hilton who himself is gay.

 Of course this seemed to be a perfect opportunity to show again the video of Miss Teen South Carolina and her communication skills or lack of. There are times where even less than an excuse is needed to show something like that incident. (It is time this conduct is stopped! But not before we allow you another opportunity to view Miss Teen South Carolina here.

The Edge also reported that Susan Boyle, the British singer from Britain’s Got Talent tv show was offered a Million dollars to perform in a porn film. This offer is based on the stipulation she would be losing her virginity in front of the camera. The offer came from Kick Ass films. If Miss Boyle decides to go ahead with the deal she will be flown to Los Angeles on (appropriatly enough) Virgin Airlines. Morgan suggested they make the film and combine Octomom and Susan Boyle. (Think Morgan was just kidding….)


The next report was Madonna who was reportedly thrown from her horse. According to Madonna’s publicist the incident was caused by a paparazzo who spooked the animal. Eyewitnesses (and Mo Fo) report that Madonna was leaping over hurdles (no, it was the horse!) when Madonna fell off. It was obvious Morgan has experience riding but Fred does not.
Morgan stated a quote (that went straight over Fred’s head) that actually (I think) was made originally by Winston Churchill (tell me if I am wrong, have heard it used by many including riding clubs) that goes something like: “There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.” (For those with their mind in the gutter, it means it can be healthy to ride a horse.)

 We also got to see private pilot Fred and co-pilot Morgan at a simulator located at the FlyRight Inc.‘s facility in Concord. They discussed how it would not be that difficult for someone with at least some pilot experience being able to land the plane as a passenger did last week in Fort Myers, Florida at Southwest Florida International Airport. (How many would trust Fred, a private pilot? How many would trust Morgan with no experience?) The passenger had been licensed to operate a single engine aircraft for twenty years. The plane was a King Air aircraft which is what Flyright trains people for. An air traffic controller had to pick up the phone and call a friend in Connecticut for instructions on how to fly the plane.

 Seemed like a short show tonight. Probably because Morgan is back!!! Next time please do not use Mark Mathis. Rebecca Clark, Reg Taylor, the guy who is always talking in the background, someone from the Edge Underground or maybe even a dog from Project HALO.  Plenty of better choices!

Don’t miss the NewsEdge Tuesday!
