March Madness indeed...
George Effin Mason? You had to be a member of the Psychic Friends Network to see that one coming. This has been one crazy tournament, consider these fun facts: lowest seed (tied, LSU in ’86 was also an 11) ever to make a Final Four. Only the second time in history(1980 was the other) that NO number 1 seed advances to the Final 4. The conference with the lowest seasonal RPI among the 5 majors sends 2 teams to the Final 4. Florida is the best team on paper, left standing. Of course given what's happened to the other best team's on paper in this tourney that may be an unenviable spot to be in. Be that as it may the Gators appear to have the personnel to get it done, Now let's see if they do.
Other random musings: Is anyone else tired of all the Masters' promos talking about "a tradition unlike any other." Isn't that the definition of tradition? If it was like others in the first place would it really be a tradition? Isn't that a superfluous statement?
Jon Stewart is set to host the Peabody awards, no word on whether or not he'll do a Death to Smoochey joke.
Pamela Anderson bought a condo in Vegas. This brings whole new meaning to the term the Strip.
Drew Lachey's publicist released a statement announcing the birth of Drew's baby. Wait, Drew Lachey has a publicist? Why? Isn't this akin to Vanilla Ice having a publicist announce he's finally decided to go with one hair color. Does anyone care?
And finally sorry EW the best show on TV is the Sopranos, not 24. The Sopranos has it all, emotional turmoil, inventively metaphoric dream sequences, realistic hard edged action, and more morality plays than you can shake a stick at. Most importantly the characters on the Sopranos feel genuine(warts and all), unlike the cookie cutter ruthless baddies on 24 facing off against the equally impossibly efficient government agents(seriously do you think actual government folks are this good? See Hurricane response for answer).

Drew Lachey is huge now - didya see a little show called Dancing with the Stars? Drew went from the J list all the way up to the C list. Yes - he has passed Kathy Griffin at D.
