Dear Abby

The most popular dog names are Max for boys, and Bella for girls.  But when you get down to individual breeds, there are at least a FEW examples of people being creative, instead of relying on clichés or "Twilight".  For boy dogs anyway.

--The website VetStreet.com put together this list of some of the top names for different popular breeds.  Notice the horrible pattern for female dogs . . .

--Chihuahuas.  The most popular name for male Chihuahuas in the U.S. is CHICO.  For females it's Bella.

--Labrador retriever.  For males, the most popular name is BUDDY.  For females, again, it's Bella.

--Pit bulls.  For males, the most popular name is BLUE.  For females, one again, it's Bella.

--Shih Tzus.  For males, the most popular name is GIZMO.  For females . . . thanks "Twilight" . . . it's Bella again.

--Boxers.  For males, the most popular name is ROCKY.  For females, yep, Bella.

--Dachshund.  For males, the most popular name is OSCAR . . . ya know, like Oscar Mayer wiener.  For females, it's Bella.

--Bulldogs.  For males, the most popular name is TANK.  For females . . . one last time, it's Bella.

Well...you know what?! My sweet baby is named Louis after Louis Vuitton, the designer....but let's be honest...he prefers to be called, "King Louis"...;)

The new female judges have been selected for the upcoming season of "X-Factor" and I have no shame in saying that Britney Spears was and still somewhat is one of my idols. Give me a break....when I was growing up, she was the girl every girl wanted to be! So you can imagine my excitement that she is going to sit next to Simon Cowell on this show, and she's preparing herself too!

Britney Spears is giving up booze and bread in order to get in shape for   The X Factor. A source says, "Britney is very image conscious and while   she knows she's never going to be stick thin, she doesn't like certain things   about her body. She's on a new diet and fitness regime ahead of the X Factor   shows and has cut out carbs and alcohol. She's also looking at her styling and   how she wants to come across as a judge."

Carbs and booze??!!! Two of my favorite things...if Simon comes knocking on my door...I may have to shoo him away ;)

This app sounds pretty ambitious . . . and a great way to make people self-conscious.  But if they can get it to work nationwide, it's going to be HUGE.

--The app is called SceneTap.  The company behind it installs cameras at bars, scans the people coming in, and uses facial recognition software and biometric rhythms to predict their age and gender.

--That way, anyone who has the app can check out a bar before they leave the house, to make sure the crowd size, age range, and male-female ratio is where they want it to be.  The app doesn't assess how GOOD LOOKING the crowd is.

--Here's an example.  On Friday night, a bar in San Francisco called Bar None first started using SceneTap.  By 10:00 P.M., the app rated it "Lively" . . . it was a little less than half full, had a 50-50 male-female ratio, and an average age of 22.

--Of course, some people are OUTRAGED about SceneTap.  Even though it doesn't actually record anyone's face or take any personal information, they still think it's a major privacy violation.

--Right now there are only cameras in a few bars in seven cities:  Athens, Georgia . . . Austin, Texas . . . Bloomington, Indiana . . . Chicago . . . Gainesville, Florida . . . Madison, Wisconsin . . . and San Francisco.

--The app is free for iPhone and Android phones.  The company plans to keep on expanding to more bars and more cities.

WILL SMITH attended the Moscow premiere of "Men In Black 3" the other day.  And during his stroll down the red carpet, he was confronted by a reporter who was a little too "kissy".  A MALE reporter.

--The guy got slightly aggressive with his lips.  He stole a kiss on each of Will's cheeks, but it seemed like he was really trying to zero in on Will's lips.

--So Will shoved the guy back and then BACKHANDED him across the cheek, saying, quote, "Come on, man, what the hell is your problem, buddy?"

--To be fair, it wasn't a HARD slap.  And Will was kind of laughing as he told another reporter, quote, "He tried to kiss me on the mouth.  He's lucky I ain't sucker punch him."

--A witness says, quote, "He was still a good sport about it and thought it was funny after the fact."

 This year, EIGHT girls are graduating from Presentation High School in San Jose, California, and they all have the same Vietnamese last name Nguyen (--it's pronounced basically like "win").

--And since they knew all eight of them would be back-to-back in the yearbook, they all decided NOT to pick lame, corny inspirational quotes to run under their photos.  Instead, they each picked one or two words each, and formed a sentence.

--So when you look at all their photos together, the quotes combine to read, "We know what you're thinking, and no, we're not related."

So I went to Las Vegas for my birthday last summer with some girlfriends....girls only....so....OBVIOUSLY we hit up the Chippendales show.  Their special guest while we were there was a band member of 98 Degrees...one of my favorite boy bands when boy bands were cool!

So anyway...

Now it's someone else's turn to host the male review! Joey Lawrence is shedding his clothes: The actor has joined the male erotic dancing troupe Chippendales.

The 36-year-old will work as a singer, dancer and host in the Las Vegas production for three weeks in June.

In a statement to The Associated Press on Thursday, Lawrence said screening Channing Tatum's upcoming film about being a stripper - "Magic Mike" - encouraged him to join the male revue.

Says Lawrence: "I found out that guys like Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem have also done stuff like this and being the fearless guy that I am, I said yes."

The married father of two stars as a male nanny in the ABC Family series "Melissa & Joey." He's best known for his role on the 1990s TV show "Blossom." I may be taking a last second trip to Vegas this summer! lol ;)

Ever wondered how many other people are selfishly sharing YOUR birthday?  Now you can actually figure it out.  Kind of.

--A statistician put together a chart of all 365 days of the year based on the total births on each of those days between 1973 and 1999.  You'll want to check out your date, but here are some highlights.

--The least-popular date for birthdays was February 29th, obviously . . . since it only occurs once every four years on a leap year, when there are actually 366 days in a year.

--The second least popular day is December 25th.  Apparently that birthday is already TAKEN.

--The most popular date for births is September 16th.  That's JUST about nine months after the holiday season.  And actually, all ten of the most common birthdates are in September.

--September 11th is the 24th most common . . . but that's now dropping.

--July and August have the second and third most births.

--Generally, major holidays have a lot fewer births around them . . . people really don't induce on those days.  July 4th has the fewest births of any summer day, and July 5th is second.  Thanksgiving and New Year's Day are also sparse.

--The only exception is Valentine's Day.  It has the most births of ANY day in the first five months of the year.

--The 13th of every month also has a dip in births.  It seems to be the least popular day overall.

Mine is August 10th....just so you know ;)

This is great news! Because I am FOR SURE addicted to coffee...I can thank my father for that...

Next time you're feeling guilty heading to Starbucks for the third time in a day, don't worry about it.  In fact, go a fourth time.  And a fifth and sixth too.

--According to new research by the National Cancer Institute, drinking at least SIX CUPS of coffee a day isn't just "not bad" for you . . . it's GREAT for you.

--Men who drink at least six cups of coffee a day had a 10% lower chance of dying during the course of the 14-year study.  For women it was even better . . . they had a 15% lower chance of dying.

--The researchers aren't exactly sure why coffee is saving lives, though.  Drinking regular versus decaf didn't make a difference, so it's not that.  And they haven't found any hidden antioxidants in coffee that make it good for you.

--Their best theory is that there's something SOOTHING about coffee . . . either making it, drinking it, or the social aspects of drinking it with other people.  That's good for your mental health, which is also good for your physical health.

She tells Perez   Hilton, "I enjoy it. I really do enjoy it. I miss doing other things. It   really does lock you down…Now the twins are getting more mobile. They're   about to go to school. I just don't know. I don't know."

Sounds like she's getting the itch to branch out a little...I mean she does have two little kids and a young hot dancer boyfriend she needs to tend to....who knows...do you think she really contributed to the show? Don't get me wrong...I grew up listening to Jennifer Lopez....but I'd take Paula in the judge's chair over her anytime....

There's a reason why I'm in radio and not TV...hahaha....cameras can get the best of me!
