Look, I've pulled my fair share of April Fool's jokes, but I won't do any today. Instead, I want to focus on the big winter storm that's going to hit us in two days...

"The Situation" Mike Sorrentino has a new TV show. Boy, I wish that was an April Fool's prank.

Bachelor Juan Pablo went to a party and people hate him so much they were throwing their drinks at him. My thought on this...who would waste a perfectly good beverage on this loser???

And finally, it's "Ask Boomer"

Boomer, what’s the best April Fool’s prank you ever pulled? I faked a parade one year. Oh this was extremely elaborate. I knew it was getting out of hand when people were calling in telling me they had built a float and needed to know where to go to line up.

Boomer, who’s your pick to win the National Championship? Kentucky! I love one and done’s in college basketball.

Boomer, is it true you will openly weep when Galvatron makes his appearance in Transformers: Age of Extinction? Yes. Tears of joy.

A guy in England was able to use twitter to fool the town into thinking he was mayor. He created the profile "I'm James Billington, the current Mayor of Stafford. Delighted to be representing the town of Stafford and surrounding areas." He attended lots of public events, like ribbon cuttings. Eventually he was caught. But wait, I thought it was on social media, it had to be true...

A ton of Opening Day games in baseball today. And at the end of the day, the Cubs will already be mathematically eliminated from the postseason.

Now this is super exciting. Based on intel that was leaked, the iPhone 6 could have a much bigger screen. I'm in. Because I have to be prepared when Transformers Angry Birds comes out.

And my Life Lesson!

I’m looking at my March Madness bracket and my final 4…100% accurate! Florida, Kentucky, Connecticut and the team that sets basketball back 50 years, Wisconsin. People all day are like, Boomer, how did you correctly pick the Final Four. And it’s easy. I filled my bracket out this morning. Because, if you do things after the fact, you can never be wrong! That’s my life lesson.

Still in shock I didn't win the Sexiest Man Alive for 2012 so I guess congrats to the winner Channing Tatum. I'll just have to settle for second (again).

At this point, I'd be more than happy if they left the country...

Wouldn't it be awesome to prank call Ashlee Simpson the night the Grammy nominees are announced???

And finally Whitney Houston was given the Global Icon Award at the MTV European Music Awards. I missed the ceremony, what did she say in her speech?

2012-11-12T14:10:00.003-08:00

The Huffington Post revealed Britney Spears' worst habit. What was it? Singing?

Taylor Swift back with Conor Kennedy?!?!?!? But Taylor, you said we are never, EVER, getting back together...

At the buffet, I was told I could dip anything into the new chocolate waterfall. I have court in a week.

And finally, I had no idea Amanda Bynes was in Ft. Wayne today...

2012-11-09T12:22:00.001-08:00

Jermaine Jackson is changing his last name. Well, the spelling anyway. He's going from J-A-C-K-S-O-N to J-A-C-K-S-U-N. Wonder if he'll now be related to Capri?

Okay, that was bad.

Daniel Craig is phenomenal in his role as James Bond. My top 3 of actors I never ever ever want to see play James Bond...

1) Nathan Lane
2) Carrot Top
3) Russell Brand

Honey Boo Boo got a new pet, a chicken! Yeah, like that's gonna last in that household...

"She may not look like much, kid, but she's got it where it counts." That's it for me, back to Star Wars Angry Birds....

2012-11-07T09:35:00.001-08:00

I'm super excited about Disney trying to bring back "Boy Meets World" under the working title of "Girl Meets World". The show would follow Cory and Topanga's daughter. The real gem here is producers want the original cast to return to their roles. As a fan of the original, I would be all for that, and let's be honest here, it's not like Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel are really busy right now.

I've never flown Spirit Air and I probably never will as now they are talking about charging $100 for a carry-on! At this point, with all these crazy fees, I'm hoping the next time I fly I can just box myself up and go FedEx.

Christopher Knight from the Brady Bunch turns 55 today. Reminds me of a classic Boomer radio bit. "Happy birthday to Christopher Knight, Peter on the Brady Bunch. Peter was always my favorite Brady. I love Peter. Matter of fact, I can't get enough Peter." Yes, I got in trouble...

Hey, one quick thing before I wrap up. I kinda thought it was pretty odd as I was the only one lined up to vote at the polling place today. I thought they were expecting a good turnout.

2012-11-06T12:16:00.000-08:00

Amanda Bynes says she's a multi-millionaire! So she's as good at counting as she is at driving.

Lindsay Lohan is going to be charged with lying to police after a car accident this past June. Boy, that's gonna derail her comeback...

Britney Spears is going to "write" a book. It's going to be a fictionalized account of her real-life experiences. I'm going to save you a ton of time. She shaves her head in the end. Thank me later.

In San Francisco, a nude activist, stripped naked to protest. And people are surprised by this why?

Roseanne is running for President. Strange, I must have missed her on the ballot and that's one of the few times you could miss Roseanne!

2012-11-02T09:40:00.000-07:00

When I saw the headline "Men Accused of Gambling on Pee Wee Football Games" I was like "well, yeah, little league baseball is over..."

Alec Baldwin visited students of New York University as they dealt with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. C'mon, haven't these poor people suffered enough????

Charlie Sheen is reportedly back to his old ways of snorting cocaine and smoking crack. Back? When did he stop?

Of course I'm super excited about the new Star Wars movie in 2015 but some people not so much. Which means I've heard some great jokes about the Disney takeover. And even though I'm a die hard Star Wars fan, I don't mind sharing some of the better ones....like this. "Disney has purchased Lucasfilm for $4 billion and plans to make three more Star Wars movies. Talk about beating a dead Ewok."

And finally...we now know Megatrons favorite song!

2012-11-01T12:30:00.000-07:00

Katy Perry ran into her ex Russell Brand at a Lakers game! She was there to watch the game. He was there to work the concession stand...

Mumford and Sons frontman Marcus Mumford says they have no interest in becoming a stadium act. Don't think you really need to worry about that...

Lindsay Lohan's twitter account was hacked! People knew it wasn't really her when she was tweeting about books she's read.

So why did Disney buy Lucasfilm and the rights to Star Wars? Well the main character's mother is dead, so the foundation for every Disney movie is already in place.

2012-10-31T12:06:00.000-07:00

What are your favorite celebrities doing for Halloween???

Ashlee Simpson’s costume this year is a real stretch. She’s going as a singer

Tony Romo’s costume this year is a real stretch. He’s going as an NFL quarterback

Russell Brand’s costume this year is a real stretch. He’s going as someone who’s funny

Scott Stapp’s costume this year is real stretch. He’s going as someone you don’t want to punch in the neck

Christina Aguilera’s costume this year is a real stretch. She’s going as someone who didn’t eat the fifth judge on The Voice.

Rihanna’s costume this year is a real stretch. She’s going as a member of MENSA

Lindsay Lohan’s costume this year is a real stretch. She’s going as someone who’s successfully completed rehab

2012-10-30T13:04:00.002-07:00

The worst part about the thousand pirate costumes confiscated by authorities because they were tainted by lead is now I have to go with my backup choice of slutty schoolgirl...

Apple has gotten rid of the head of its mobile software division. He's the one responsible for the Apple Maps debacle. His next stop: The unemployment line...if he can find it...

You can buy the special edition of Rihanna's album for $250! Or, just download the whole thing illegally for free!

Speaking of Rihanna, Chris Brown continues to sneak around with his ex behind Rihanna's back. I'm not really sure you can call it sneaking around, though, if every tabloid reports it!!!

And finally, this week in irony as fans were hoping they wouldn't lose their power so they could watch Revolution.

2012-10-29T14:08:00.000-07:00

Ke$ha was the latest victim of a death hoax this past weekend. Once word got out that it was fake, glitter stock rebounded back to normal levels.

Britney Spears says her kids think she has superpowers. "When I go to film X-Factor, they're like 'Mommy's going off to be a superhero!'" No, mommy is going off to work on a failure of a tv show that Fox continues to shove down our throats.

Argo, the movie directed by and starring Ben Affleck, is the number one movie in the country. What's more surprising? That it took the movie three weeks before it hit number one, or that I actually want to go see a Ben Affleck movie???

Deryck Whibley, ex-husband of Avril Lavigne and member of failed rock group Sum-41, along with his girlfriend, dressed up as Avril and Chad Kroeger for Halloween. Chad Kroeger responded on twitter with "Hey Deryck, loved the costumes! We were going to go as you guys this year but all the parties had celebrity themes" Game, set, match Nickelback....

2012-10-25T12:32:00.001-07:00

Eva Longoria and Mark Sanchez broke up because he's in a horrible mood over how bad the Jets are. That's really bad news if you're dating a Cleveland Browns player.

A woman was able to swim to safety after driving her car into a river. Yep, those new Apple Maps are awful.

Scientists have identified a new type of fern that can be classified as both male and female. They named it after Lady Gaga. Yeah, sounds about right...

A guy was arrested after stealing flowers from a grave to give to his girlfriend. And before you laugh at this guy, at least HE remembered Sweetest Day.

2012-10-24T10:57:00.002-07:00

Jessica Simpson's mom has filed for divorce! I imagine the divorce proceedings are going to be pretty contentious. "I don't want Ashlee, you get Ashlee!" "I certainly don't want Ashlee, you get to keep Ashlee!!!"

Ohio State football is looking to beef up their non-conference schedule, so they've added Central Michigan and Tulsa in 2016. Cause that'll achieve the intended results...

Jordin Sparks has just launched a new perfume and says "Right now I feel like I can take on the world." Who are you again???

Fox has renewed X Factor for a third season. Nothing to really get excited about X Factor fans. It was either that or bringing back Malcolm in the Middle. And I think they made the wrong choice...

Happy birthday today to the iPod. Let's just say buying stock in the Zune was probably one of my worst decisions ever.

2012-10-23T13:57:00.002-07:00

James Blunt from "You're Beautiful" fame has announced he's done with music. I'm thinking it's the other way around...

Lindsay Lohan was tweeting like crazy during last night's debate. That's just further proof that some people should not have access to electronic devices.

An Ohio legislator wants to prevent Browns and Bengals games from being blacked out. Isn't there a law against cruel and unusual punishment.

Chris Kirkpatrick was the only member of *NSYNC at Justin Timberlake's wedding. And I have to say he did a great job of serving the cocktails!

2012-10-02T13:36:00.000-07:00

One of Arnold Schwarzenegger's sons might take Maria Shriver's last name. Can you blame him? Shriver is a lot easier to spell!

A Washington attorney claims he traveled through time. So you traveled through time and didn't do anything to stop the honey boo boo child family??? That's inexcusable!

Happy 30th to the CD! Last CD I bought? The Jonas Brothers latest "Mom Says We Have To Be Home By 11"

2012-08-13T12:35:00.000-07:00

Kim Kardashian wants to have a baby?!?!?!?! Does she realize you can't give the baby back after 72 days????

Happy birthday to Friends star Matthew Perry. He's 43. So what's Matthew been up to lately? If you answered "absolutely nothing" you'd be correct.

The ex-boyfriend of Amy Winehouse has been in the hospital as he shockingly overdosed on something. On the flipside, Amy herself just celebrated one year of being sober.

2012-07-26T11:51:00.001-07:00

Kristen Chenoweth is "doing better every day" after getting knocked on head. That's good to hear. Who is she?

Kim Kardashian has now said she's more famous than Jen Aniston, Angelina Jole and Gwyneth Paltrow combined! Bigger butt, yes. More famous, no...

2012-07-24T10:37:00.001-07:00

Big stink in front of the Jackson family house last night as Jermaine and Janet were getting into it. Kinda surprising if you ask me. That family always seemed so normal.

Saw an accident on my way into work today. A car ended up in a pond at Clinton and Creighton. I just wonder when they pulled the car out if they got Amanda Bynes' autograph.

Jennifer Lopez is celebrating a birthday today. Not only is she an accomplished singer, she's also an accomplished actress. I'm just gonna throw out some of the blockbusters she's starred in. Anaconda. Monster-in-Law. Gigli...

Guy in Allentown, Pennsylvania was found passed out in his van in the local Walmart parking lot. When police arrived, they discovered the guy converted his van into a mobile meth lab! The most surpising thing about this story is it didn't happen close to Ft. Wayne.

2012-07-11T11:45:00.002-07:00

Lindsay Lohan, according to reports, is in talks to star in Scary Movie 5. Ashley Tisdale is already on board. Boy, they're pulling out the big guns, aren't they...

People who live next to Susan Boyle say she sings loudly, at all hours of the night. Just be thankful you don't live next to Ashlee Simpson.

Someone needs to advise my boss that even though the city does want you to cut back some on water usage, you still are able to shower...

COMMENTARY: You can't even imagine my excitement when I got a text from my friend Chris saying the Chelsea Handler show was canceled. I thought "Chelsea Lately" finally got the axe! Unfortunately, this was old news as Chris was talking about the dreadful Chelsea Handler sitcom that was on NBC this past spring. So Chelsea Handler lives on on E! much to my chagrin. You know, you would think after all these years of her doing comedy, she'd be funny...at least once...

2012-07-10T11:26:00.001-07:00

X Factor auditions in Greensboro came to a screeching halt because of lighting yesterday. Guess that's God trying to tell you something, guys...

It's Jessica Simpson's birthday today. This is how I saw her described. "pop singer/fashion designer/former wife of Nick Lackey" They should also put "former" in front of "pop singer"

Chumbawamba has broken up. Guess this time they aren't going to get back up...

And finally, Scarlett Johansson has been offered $20 million to reprise her role as Black Widow in the Avengers sequel. Hell, I'll play the Black Widow for half that!!!

2012-07-09T13:35:00.002-07:00

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have reached a settlement in their divorce. Terms of the settlement include Tom getting custody of daughter Suri....every two weeks...when he's on the mothership...

A North Carolina man barricaded himself in a hotel room and refused to come out until he got pizza...and Paris Hilton! Well that's one way to get rid of her.

Kelly Osbourne received a black eye on an airplane when the person sitting in front of her leaned her seat back, whacking Kelly in the head. Disappointed in that person who was sitting in the seat in front of her. Next time hit her harder!!!!

2012-07-06T10:07:00.003-07:00

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have a custody hearing set for the 17th. I bet there will be more people there than were at the premiere of Rock of Ages...

Things have gotten so bad for Lindsay Lohan even a porn star is denying sleeping with her. "Yeah, I've banged pretty much everything, but I certainly WOULD NOT touch Lindsay Lohan..."

3 reasons to not go see the new movie Savages. 1) It stars Taylor Kitsch, who also starred in John Carter and Battleship. Enough said. 2) It stars noted movie killer Blake Lively 3) It stars John Travolta. That's the holy hell of trifecta's isn't it...

I cracked up when I saw this headline earlier. "There's a spike in air conditioner sales." Wonder how many investigative reporters they had to put on that one....

Enjoy your weekend!!!!

2012-07-05T10:42:00.001-07:00

Matthew McConaughey and his wife are expecting their third child. I just want to stress to Matthew that he does NOT need to take his shirt off during childbirth.

Madonna's tour truck overturned while driving to a concert in Stockholm. That's God trying to tell you something Madonna....

Well I learned the hard way yesterday not to eat baked beans and then get in the hot tub...

COMMENTARY: All I read today was how the new Spiderman had the biggest Tuesday opening ever, beating the first Transformers, which came out in 2007. Which would be all well and good except the first Transformers movie came out on a Monday...

2012-07-03T13:01:00.000-07:00

Katie Holmes is going to get virtually nothing in her divorce from Tom Cruise because the prenup cuts her out of the fortune. Basically she'll walk away with what she brought into the marriage. So what, a couple of Dawson's Creek box sets then???

This past weekend Mariah Carey honored Whitney Houston. How? By doing a line of coke???

Rumor has it naked pictures of Carly Rae Jepsen are on the internet. She denies it. I just want to say it's not her in those pics. And how do I know? Hours upon hours of looking at them...

COMMENTARY: I absolutely can't stand Alec Baldwin. His acting is atrocious and his behavior is on the same level. Well Alex has quit twitter...again. I love how all these celebs quit twitter. Basically quitting twitter and facebook is the modern day adult equivalent of running away from home. We all know you're coming back.
