Oh Miss Utah... bless your heart.

Is she any match for Miss Teen South Carolina?

Ah-hem. Body image issues anyone?

She wants to break the world record for the smallest waist. Michelle Koebke has a waist that measures 16 inches right now, because she has been making it smaller and smaller by wearing ever-tighter corsetts.   Her goal: 14.9 inches. That would be the world record.

She claims it doesn't hurt, but she doesn't take it off ever... except to shower.  She has to eat 10 tiny meals each day, because her organs have shrunk!

Pete Borini on Facebook asked an excellent question. What happens when she walks in front of a funhouse mirror?

Here's what her waist looks like without the noose around it.

 We knew you'd look at this.  Despite what everybody says, they can't not-look when there's a hot photo of Honey Boo Boo's mom.  Mama June did a Baywatch themed photo shoot (ala Pamela Anderson) and it appeared on TMZ. 

Good luck trying to get these out of your head.

Some upcoming shows from Mumford and Sons have been canceled.  

From the Mumford & Sons website:

To our fans -
Our friend and bandmate Ted has been feeling unwell for a few days, and yesterday he was taken to a hospital to receive emergency treatment. The scans revealed a blood clot on the surface of his brain that requires an operation. Ted is receiving excellent care and we are being assured that he will recover quickly from surgery.

Sadly we have to postpone three upcoming headline shows planned for this week in Dallas on Tuesday 6/11, Woodlands on Wednesday 6/12, and New Orleans on Thursday 6/13.

All dates will be rescheduled and will be announced as soon as we can; all tickets for this week’s events will be honoured at their rescheduled dates. We have no plans to cancel or postpone any other appearances along this current tour.

We’re all wishing Ted a speedy recovery.
Much love,
Mumford & Sons

New research has pinpointed the exact age that boys mature completely as 43 -- that's 11 whole years after women, who on average, mature at 32.

Both men and women surveyed agree that males remain "immature" well into their late 30s and early 40s. Alarmingly, eight out of 10 women believe that men "never stop being childish," citing behavior like burping, farting, staying silent during arguments and not being able to cook simple meals.

Did they get it right? We think most men still hold dearly to immaturity to the grave.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who in person, on social media, and everywhere who said such nice words to help me get through the passing of my dog, Zirin (pronounced Zeer-in).

This retired athlete (an adopted racing greyhound), was known as "Hey Zirin" if you were betting on him at the track. He won his share of races. A kind and gentle soul, he and I had a special bond. I maintain to this day, he never did anything wrong.  And if he did, he was talked into it by his step brother Dutch.

He never barked. Never grumbled. Asked for permission to do anything with his eyes. And Zirin was the kind of dog who asked for nothing, but made everyone in the house want to make him happy. My favorite moments include just coming home from work in the afternoon and both of us taking a nap together on the bed. No dog ever knew he was loved more.

Dream That A Man...

by Ross R. Whitney

Fold forefeet beneath your chest, incline your head, and dream that a man cherished you.

Chose you above all other siblings, held you to his face and whispered.

Prepared your first solitary bed, but lifted you from it before dark.

Dream that he opened doors, and like a god, observed your coming and going.

Fed you from his palm, smiled that you neither toiled nor spun.

Praised your breathing, hunting, procreating, and sleeping.

Gave you his sur name.

And when life hurt more than death, let you die in his lap.

Dream that a man's children made your last solitary bed under a tree.

That he showed them life blooming above.

And when asked if you would wake, said he did not know.
