Page 1 Consider (02/08)

  • Monday Morning Quarterbacking: CareerBuilder's Casual Fridays spot is a complete ripoff of Bud Light's Clothing Drive commercial, but the Snickers spot with Betty and Abe and bengal tiger cubs in the Cars.com ad were the cutest. You can watch all of the Super Bowl ads HERE.

  • Wise Latina Latina, Meet Wise Gay White Dude: What to make of the fact that Prop 8 judge Vaughn Walker -- the George H.W. Bush appointee who was randomly assigned to the trial -- was "outed" as being gay. (FDL)

  • Pecs Appeal: Channing Tatum and his incredible chest -- also known as "Dear John" -- bumped "Avatar" out of the top spot at the box office this weekend, with an impressive $32.4M debut. (AP)

  • Money Where Her Mouth Is: Calling the recent “don’t ask, don’t tell” hearings an “important first step,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand announced Saturday that she plans to introduce an amendment to ban funding for the enforcement of the policy. (Advocate)

  • New Shues: Former "Melrose Place" star Andrew Shue tied the knot over the weekend at Chelsea Piers, but unfortunately it was to "Weekend Today" anchor Amy Robach and not another soccer-playing hunk. (People)

  • Rumor Report: All weekend I've been hearing reports that Gov. David Paterson will announce his resignation today. What skeletons he could possibly have left in his closet after weeks of diarrhea of the mouth when taking office is beyond me, but nothing out of Albany would surprise me now. (AP)

  • Raise the Flag: While the big ticket this weekend was to the Super Bowl, where the New Orleans Saints embarrassed the Indianapolis Colts for the title (congrats, guys!), I was more interested in the charity celebrity flag football event in South Beach featuring Mark Sanchez and Kellan Lutz, among others. (WXYZ)

  • Johnny Be Good (at Writing): Read how Boston Globe reporter and novelist Johnny Diaz ("Boston Boys Club," "Miami Manhunt," "Beantown Cubans") became a journalist (and of course Barbara Walters was involved). (Beantown Cuban)

  • Stretch the Truth: Taylor Lautner, who does not use steroids or any type of performance-enhancing drugs, has been cast to play Stretch Armstrong in a new film based on the Hasbro doll. (Take 40)

  • Sour Note: Ouch. Carrie Underwood's "National Anthem" made Taylor Swift sound like a regular Taylor Dayne. (HollywoodCrush)

  • Continental Divide: Nothing against Mexico or anything, but what does it say about America when we are the last country in North America to allow same-sex couples to marry and adopt children? (NYT)

  • Going Gaga: I can't even remember what I was about to search for when this popped up on my computer.

  • DNA Profiling: Didn't get enough Todd Sanfield on Friday? Then check out some DNA outtakes of handsome undies model HERE.
