I typically don’t write about cheesy reality TV shows, but this one is sure to please. As if the Pussy Cat Dolls weren’t enticing enough, this new show on the CW aims to find the sluttiest, fame-hungry slut around to become the next Pussy Cat Doll.

My wife actually turned me on to this so take that as a cue that’s its acceptable to get horned up while watching this with your reality-tv-starved wife.

Child actors can crash and burn faster than a Celtics season, but these young Hollywood stars are cashing in on their fame.

The Sabres and the Senators went old-school last night in one of the best brawls I’ve seen in a long time. Over 4 minutes worth of mayhem including goons attacking stars, a goalie fight and head coaches swearing at each other. Man I miss hockey.

While I wish this was a remake of a classic NES hockey game, the Blades of Glory movie may be even better! Will Farrell and the guy from Napoleon Dynamite star as male figure skaters with “magic junk”. Looks pretty damn funny to me.

St. Patrick’s Day, easily my favorite holiday, is rapidly approaching. Here’s a few items to get you ready for the drinkingest day of the year.

Beer Goggles (Literally) – £2.99
Be the life (?) of the party with these novelty beer goggles, whacka whacka. Check out this mathematical equation behind the beer goggle effect.

Shotgunator – $7.99 CDN (that’s Canadian Yo!)
For those of us that enjoy their beer from the bottom of the can, this nifty gadget helps you get drunk, fast.

For the Geeks in the crowd: Kiss me I’m Irish Babydoll or The Green Beer Shirt – $14.99 to $17.99
If you’re not a geek, I’m not going to waste my time explaining how dorky these shirts are.

Beer Caddy – $99.00
Sick of trekking to the fridge? Just fill this bad Larry with beer, stick it next to your lawn chair and ride out the rest of the afternoon in drunken style.

Got an extra $250 million dollars hanging around? That’s the going rate for Dennis Publishing’s “laddie empire” including Maxim, Blender and Stuff. The price includes all domestic and international editions, print, online and a few licensing deals with Las Vegas and restaurants. First FHM discontinues publishing their print edition and now Maxim is on the auction block… looks like the lad mag business isn’t as hot as it once was. Don’t fret, LiveManly.com isn’t going anywhere (unless someone wants to buy me… cheap).

CNNMoney.com lists 10 don’t-miss tax breaks for your 2006 tax returns. Here’s the list:

1. 3% Long-distance calls refund (about $60)
2. Home energy efficiency breaks (deduct up to $2900)
3. Daycare (deduct about $1k per kid)
4. Deduct your retirement savings (up to $2k)
5. Self-Employment Pension (basically an IRA for entrepreneurs)
6. Misc. business expenses (Magazine subscriptions, phone calls, interview travel expenses)
7. State Tax Deductions (deduct your state taxes on your federal return!? That’s crazy!)
8. Tuition deductions up to $4000
9. Confusing real estate tax deductions
10. Tax deductions on 529 plan contributions (don’t ask me what a 529 is)

Most of these deductions are dependent on your income and current employment status, but any time you can get money back from “The Man” its worth looking into.

With the Celtics finally caving, 2007 is the first year every NBA team has an official dance squad (don’t call them cheerleaders!). Which means it’s time to stalk, ogle and best of all, rate them. LiveManly.com has painstakingly scoured the Internet to bring you the 40 hottest NBA dancers of 2007. While they appear in no particular order (every man has different tastes… just ask Tom Arnold), my top 5 would look something like this: 1. Jordan (Mavericks), 2. Jaime (Heat), 3. Camille (Kings), 4. Denee (Sonics), 5. Sam (Rockets). Feel free to share you top girls (or add any we missed) in the comments section.

Disclaimer: Keep in mind that I have never seen any of these women in the flesh and these superficial rankings are based solely on their publicity shots available on each team’s website… in other words, don’t blame me if any of these ladies are wildebeests in person.

Top 7 squads (in no particular order):
Mavericks, Nuggets, Lakers, Nets, Knicks, Heat, Kings

Keep reading to see the rest of the top 40 list and links to each dance team’s website.

After more than a decade of “hand-off” baseball, MLB has rewritten a few rules for the upcoming 2007 season. Most notable:

• “games that end in a tie, due to weather or other uncontrollable elements, will be resolved… they will be “suspended” and resumed at the point of stoppage.”
• “The allotment for delivering the ball with no one on base has been reduced, from 20 seconds to 12″
• “The Carl Everett Rule” An automatic strike will be given if a player does not keep at least one foot in the batter’s box during his entire at bat.
• “automatic 10-game suspension for any player who intentionally defaces the ball”

Probably most alarming of all is a new disclaimer in the rulebook stating that all references “to ‘he,’ ‘him’ or ‘his’ shall be deemed to be a reference to ’she,’ ‘her’ or ‘hers’” where applicable. There’s no women in baseball! Well, unless their wearing skirts.

I know that most people avoid Courtney Cox like salmonella, but FX Network’s “Dirt” features drugged out naked chicks, crazy schizophrenics and more sex than a barrel of monkeys. Courtney Cox is still pretty hot and a few cast members outshine her like Don, the insane photographer (probably one of the best characters on TV right now) and Garbo, the hot, drug-dealing lesbian (pictured at right).

Guest appearances, though snarky, feel just right with Wayne Brady as a psycho body guard, Pee Wee Herman as a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and Christopher Knight (Peter Brady) as himself looking for publicity by “accidentally” releasing a kinky sex tape.

Dirt doesn’t take itself too seriously, which at times, can be both positive and negative, but the bottom line is Dirt is definitely worth a look.
