Killer Whale Kills Trainer at Sea World

A Sea World trainer was killed yesterday by a killer whale during a show. The woman, Dawn Brancheau was leisurely rubbing the whale from a platform when he reached up, grabbed her with its mouth and dragged her under water. Workers rushed and tried to save her but it was to late. The whale apparently grabbed Dawn by her ponytail, pulled her under water and then held her under the water. The head of animal training at all Sea World parks, Chuck Tompkins said there was no indication that the whale was having problems earlier in the day. Tompkins also said that no decision has been made about what will happen to the whale. Sea World has also suspended the killer whale shows at all of its parks. Dawn's family said they viewed her death as an unfortunate accident and that the trainer wouldn't want anything done to the whale because she loved the animals like children. Either way it's a really sad story.

Are You Still Watching The Olympics?

We thought we would do an update to see if anyone is still watching the Olympics or to see if you ever started watching them this year. Sean has been watching hockey, curling and some skiing. I've been able to watch skiing and ice dancing which is my favorite sport to watch during the Olympics! Of course with the Olympics comes the endorsement deals for many athletes which is always a plus. We found this article on South Korean figure skater Yu-Na-Kim where her endorsement deal is reversed. She is really popular in Korea and she's under a lot of pressure to win, and if she doesn't then she loses her sponsorship contracts. She is expected to win gold this week and if she doesn't then there will be strong backlash. So far she has made $8 million in endorsements and hopefully it will stay that way. The U.S. is still in the lead with a total of 25 medals, Germany is in second with 21, Norway is in third with 14 medals and Russian Federation has 11 medals, taking fourth place. What's your favorite sport to watch during the Olympics?

Oprah Will Not Have John Mayer On Her Show

Usually when celebrities say or do something stupid, Oprah always lets them come on her show so they can ask for forgiveness. This is not going to be the case for John Mayer, who if you remember has dropped the n word, told bedroom secrets about Jessica Simpson and has talked bad about Jennifer Aniston. Oprah is not allowing him to come on the show because she is really good friends with Jennifer Aniston and says if he wants to apologize for the comments he has made then he should go somewhere else. You know it's a bad day when Oprah doesn't even want you on her show! Oprah does go on to say that the only way she would let him on her show is if he wants to have a deeper conversation about race, women and fame. Maybe John should have kept his mouth shut a long time ago and he wouldn't have gotten himself into this much trouble. What do you think about John Mayer?

2010 Winter Olympics

Opening ceremonies started on Friday in Canada for the Winter Olympics. Sean and I both agree that the ceremony always seems to be really long! We've watched some of the events but not many. What was really sad was the Georgian who died last week while in practice for the Luge. It was a tragedy that no one expected to happen. They ended up delaying practice for a few days until they changed the track. If you haven't seen the video, we posted it below. On a positive note, the U.S. is in the lead with 6 medals total. In second is Germany with 4, France and Canada are tied for third place, each earning 3 medals. Have you been watching?

Ellen Degeneres Joins The Judges Panel

The contestants finally made it to Hollywood which means Ellen Degeneres joins the judges panel. Sean and I think that Kara still needs to go and that Ellen brings a different perspective to Idol. She still uses her comedy when talking to the contestants. We both think that even though she doesn't have a singing background, she is still a fan who would listen and buy the music of the Idol winner. It will be interesting to see in the coming weeks how her and Simon get along. Are you happy with Ellen as a judge? Do you wish Paula Abdul was still on the show? We've posted a clip below with Ellen joining the group.

Super Bowl Commercials

It's been a few days but people are still talking about Super Bowl Commercials. Sean and I both agree that we only watch the Super Bowl for the commercials. We could care less about the actual game. We both liked the Snickers commercial with Betty White and a couple of the Bud Light ones were pretty funny too. We've posted a few below for you to check out. What was your favorite commercial?

Bikini Boy On American Idol

American Idol auditions continued in Denver last night with another round of freaks. Obviously these are the people that get the most attention who probably know they have no talent but still get recognized. The last tryout was this guy who showed up in a bikini trying to sing Billy Cyrus' Achy Breaky Heart song. All four judges walked out on him and he still stood there thinking they were going to come back. It's pretty funny to watch. We've posted the clip below!

Lady Gaga At The Grammys

It's another awards show, which means it's time for Lady Gaga to wear another weird outfit. The one picture is her on the red carpet before the Grammys and the other outfit is from her performance. We know she likes the attention but what was she thinking? Sean is obsessed with Lady Gaga and thinks she's great, but I don't understand her! We've posted a clip from her performance at the grammys. Are you a Lady Gaga fan?
