Today feels like a slow news day and it's filled with Kate Gosselin and Carrie Prejean and ugh. Then I found this lil gem. Katharine McPhee is walking the street and getting hounded by WAY more paparazzi than she's worth when a crazy homeless lady comes in and handles her business.
The hilarity goes down at around the 1:05 mark. This b*tch is boss.

Thanks Craig!
I think Ricky Martin is pulling an Anderson Cooper. He lives his life as a gay man, but just wont acknowledge it in the press. At least that's what I hope he is doing, because if he thinks he is fooling anyone by showing up to an Armani store opening with mucho product in his hair and a purple satin scarf around his neck, he is seriously disturbed. It's not like he is making albums anymore so if he wants to keep his shit private, I say let him. I realize that I'm being a total hypocrite by saying that but I really want to look like a good person.
We would all love to think that the above pic is of a brother and sister holding their new baby sibling. Well its not! That's a picture of a new mommy and daddy with their infant daughter, and you thought the Octuplet mommy was crazy.
Alfie Patten is 13, but he conceived his daughter, Maisie when he was 12 with his 15-year-old girlfriend Chantelle. What the hell? The teen-couple are now living with Chantelle's trashy ass father in the Britain's council housing, which is like the projects. You can read the whole story at the source. BLECH! I'm so creeped out right now.

Editor's Note: Craziest Google searches that led people to this site are (in Italics) , non-italicized words = my commentary.
Yes, I only have eight inquiries posted today. My Google searches have been boring with unoriginal inquiries like "Britney Spears' pussy" and "Rihanna haircut," it's a little less fun to work with.
I spent forever sifting through days of inquiries on my traffic tracker just to get these eight. No worries, I will fight the good fight and probably just dig through archives until I can find decent inquiries until the head cases get to POTP again via their weird Google searches. I love doing Google searches posts, it allows me to be more liberal in my commentary than typical celebrity gossip does.
My fave Google searches posts are here, here, here but I kind of love 'em all. To re-live the glory days with me just click on the 'Google Searches' label at the bottom of this post.
He huffs, and puffs â" and blows out the candles! John Legend celebrates his 30th birthday Sunday night with a party at New York City's Lucky Strike bowling alley, where the singer was presented with a piano-shaped cake.
One of my favorite blogging duties is finding out what people type into Google that brings 'em to my site. Now I'm taking you on the ride with me and you can observe the absurdity of it all. I hope to begin sharing what I think are my top 10 craziest Google searches for the current day on which I post them.
But, you know me: I hope to do a vintage youtube video of the day and I hope to keep my 'because he's hot' Friday posts going and I hope to blog on the weekends one of these days and I hope to... so no expectations, puh-lease.
So here's the top 10 strangest Google searches for December 1st that led people to poponthepop.com, (yes, I typed this yesterday and saved it as a draft) but these posts will be current from now on. I pinky toe swear.
I rather blog about Barack all day long, but I'll get to celeb gossip next, with the exception of my thoughts on Obama's win which will be posted later. Anyway, here's some election terms you may have heard last night or may hear today. I find this fascinating. My inner geek is emerging, as if it doesn't with every single posts. Hope some of you enjoy or learn something. :)
The Bradley Effect
This is the theory that says white voters tell pollsters they're voting for the black candidate when they really won't in the voting booth. It's named after Tom Bradley, the mayor of Los Angeles who ran for governor in 1982. That year, it was widely reported he had a polling lead going into Election Day, but then lost the race. Many people, including some involved in the campaigns that year, say the theory is wrong, and was based on bad reporting at the time.
If Barack Obama loses, you'll hear a lot about this. If Obama wins by a slim majority, look for pundits to talk about the Wilder Effect. This one is similar to the Bradley Effect, only it's based on Doug Wilder, the first black governor of Virginia. His substantial polling lead did not materialize when voters went to the polls, but he still eked out a win.
Nate Silver
Silver is an Electoral College polling savant who started the website Five Thirty Eight. He used to crunch baseball statistics, but this year, he got into the political prediction game when he thought the mainstream media was doing it wrong. He says Obama has a 98.9% chance of winning if the polls are right.
Filibuster-Proof Majority
You'll hear this in reference to the Senate races. If it happens tonight, that means the Democrats now have 60 seats in the Senate, making it possible for that majority to stop the other party from killing legislation through filibuster. The head of the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee Chuck Schumer said winning this many seats is possible, but not likely.
I-4 Corridor
You'll hear this term, referring to Interstate 4, when pundits start to explain how Florida voted. According to the Miami Herald, "'nearly one out of five of the state's unaffiliated voters live in this swath between Tampa and Daytona Beach, and an even higher percentage are considered ''persuadable'' Democrats and Republicans.'"Â What happens here may determine what happens in Florida.
Blue Dog Democrats
This is the moderate caucus in the Democratic Party. They're the fiscally conservative types. This group could be discussed in two situations. If McCain wins, pundits will talk about how McCain will have to pull in the Blue Dogs to get his measures passed in Congress. If Obama wins, same idea.
GOTV
Nope, this isn't some name of a fancy TV station. It's initials for "Get Out The Vote." This is also referred to as the "ground game." In other words, it's how the political parties make sure you to show up to the polls.
And here's a good definition of the electoral college.
Electoral College
The body through which America casts its presidential votes. The winner of the popular vote in each state wins the electoral votes in that state. (With the exception of Nebraska - see below.) There are 538 electoral votes up for grabs; the guy who gets 270 or more wins.
