The Deal-E-O

It's "College Week" on "Wheel of Fortune", and on Tuesday, a senior from Reed College in Portland, Oregon named Zach made it to the final puzzle . . . then completely BLEW IT.

Nice work Zach...you've done Reed College proud.

Reba will make her highly anticipated return to the small screen this fall when her new show, “Malibu Country,” premieres November 2 on ABC. Fans itching to get a sneak peek of the show won’t have to wait any longer because the official “Malibu Country” trailer was just released.

Check out the trailer below…

A new documentary called "Mansome" comes out in limited release this Friday.  It's by Morgan Spurlock . . . the guy from "Super Size Me" . . . and it's about the rising popularity of "manscaping".

A great video of some drunk British woman on an aluminum awning that's attached to the side of a house.  And the guy shooting the video tells her it's not strong enough to hold her, but she insists it's fine.  Then five seconds later, the whole thing collapses.  (--According to the YouTube description, she was fine. She falls at :10.)

Want to confront your husband because you think he's cheating on you?  You should know this going in.  There are TWO WORDS he might say that are the single biggest giveaway that, yes, he's having an affair.

--And they are . . . "You're crazy."

--If you accuse someone who's not cheating, he'll be hurt and mad . . . but his instinct won't be to say you're crazy.  His instinct will be to figure out why you thought he was cheating and reassure you that he's faithful.

--When someone IS cheating, they want to make you doubt YOURSELF instead.  So by saying "you're crazy" over and over, they're trying to make you question your own judgment.

This is the kind of government insanity and wastefulness that makes you want to slam your head into a wall.

 --Back in 2010, the Pentagon felt it was overrun with studies.  So to find out if they were running too many studies . . . yep, they commissioned a study on whether they were running too many studies.

 --It gets worse.  Now it's two years later and the Government Accountability Office wanted to review that study on studies.  But they felt it needed a deeper investigation.

 --So THEY ran a study on the study to see if we run too many studies.  Which REALLY should've answered their question.

 --Their conclusion was that the Pentagon's study on studies was incomplete and poorly executed . . . it only reviewed nine studies, lost the findings on six of those, and didn't actually figure out the costs behind the studies.

--The GAO didn't release how much money has been blown on studies or studies on studies . . . but, like everything with the government, you can assume it's nauseatingly high.  Ladies and gentlemen, your tax dollars at work.

JON HAMM answered five random relationship questions submitted by teenage girls the other day.  It was for a series called "Ask a Grown Man" by a website called RookieMag.com.  And some if it's pretty funny.  He gives good, honest advice about being yourself, having your own style, when to have sex, whether guys have crushes, and whether it's okay to accidentally pass gas around guys (yes).

On Tuesday, a San Diego Padres fan caught a foul ball in his beer, then CHUGGED it.  Actually, it looks like the ball bounced into his beer, which was sitting on the ground.  But he still deserves props for the chug.  Even the announcers wanted him to do it.

(He starts chugging at :32.)

There are so many EPIC FAIL videos online...how about an EPIC WIN compilation?  Enjoy!

ZAC BROWN BAND released the video to their song "No Hurry".

JAKE OWEN did a little too much Cinco de Mayo partying on Saturday and it almost got him busted.  It's a bizarre story and some of the details are unclear . . . but here's what we know.

--Sometime around 8:30 P.M. a sheriff's deputy saw a man . . . whom we now know was Jake . . . wearing an "old man mask" and dancing outside the window of a Steak 'n Shake in Vero Beach, Florida, which is Jake's hometown.

--For some reason, the deputy decided to check it out.  We don't know what happened next . . . but it ended up with Jake in handcuffs. 

--Someone took a photo that Jake Tweeted a little later.  He wrote, quote, "I just got arrested in my own hometown." 

But Jake was NOT arrested.  Some people came out of the Steak 'n Shake to tell the deputy that the "whole thing was a joke" . . . so the cuffs came off.  That should have been the end of the story, but then Jake did something really stupid. 

--He started whining about it on Twitter.  He wrote, quote, "I was wearing an old man mask and the sheriff decided to rip me out of Steak 'n Shake and embarrass me in front of my family.  Classic."

--Well, after Jake sobered up he reread his Tweets and deleted them.  But by that time, they'd already gone viral.  And on Sunday morning he issued an apology.

--Jake Tweeted, quote, "I want to publicly apologize again for bringing to light a situation that I overreacted to.  I embarrassed myself and my family and most importantly the great people of my hometown.

--"The sheriffs were doing their jobs and I made an immature decision to announce it to the world.  This is me talking.  Not some puppet that is reciting what he 'should' say.  I take full responsibility.  Again, what's done is done, but I am truly sorry."

--Jake had a show earlier on Saturday in Melbourne, Florida, which is about 30 miles north of Vero Beach.  But it appears he started drinking even before that.  At 12:49 that afternoon he Tweeted a photo of him sucking down Coronas.

I'm not sure most people lose sleep over being defriended on Facebook . . . it's like, "Oh no, my old coworker from 1998 doesn't want to look at my vacation photos anymore!  How will I survive?"

But if you do worry about it, researchers at Arizona State University used focus groups and studies to come up with these ten SCIENTIFICALLY-PROVEN rules to keep people from defriending you on Facebook.  Check 'em out . . .

#1.)  Return the favor.  When someone posts on your wall or comments on your photo, you're expected to respond.

#2.)  No disrespectful postings.  You shouldn't publicly write anything negative on Facebook about one of your friends.

#3.)  Think before you post.  Think about the negative impact a post could have on someone.  Like, if a friend of yours is home on workers' comp, don't post a photo of him wrestling a bear.

#4.)  Don't repost.  If someone deletes something you posted on their wall or untags a photo, don't repost it.

#5.)  Don't rely on Facebook to replace real communication.  You should tell your real friends big news before you post it on Facebook.  Like whether you're pregnant.

#6.)  Be honest.

#7.)  Don't be an addict.  Don't be the person who posts so much that it becomes over the top.

#8.)  Protect yourself.  Don't post information that could be used against you.

#9.)  Use common sense.  Think before you post . . . your friends don't want to feel bad for you because you post something incredibly stupid, like negative information about your boss, or a photo of you committing a crime.

#10.)  Don't put your friends' jobs in jeopardy.  Think about how your friend will look to their boss or a potential employer before you post something potentially-damaging on their wall.
