Lady A's "Biscuits and Gravy"
Posted: 07/29/2010 by Josh

LADY ANTEBELLUM remade EASTON CORBIN's "A Little More Country Than That" as "A Little More Preppy Than That" a few months ago. Now they're back with a new take on LEE BRICE's hit "Love Like Crazy," titled "Biscuits and Gravy."Lady A's reworked version of the tune chronicles a late night out at the honky tonks in Nashville followed by a run to Waffle House.

Now that they're doing more of these song spoofs, Lady A is looking for a name to give the project. One of the guys in the video suggested "Lady Haze." Lee was thrilled with Lady A's version of the tune saying, "Hey guys, how about a writing session in the next few weeks?"

Good News: Wisconsin is not a lazy state!
Posted: 07/29/2010 by Josh

According to BusinessWeek.com, Louisiana has been named the laziest state in the country. The site created its rankings by analyzing how much time people spend on activities that don't require physical effort, compared to ones that are more taxing on the body. Data provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for time spent sleeping, watching television, socializing, relaxing and working were all taken into consideration. It's also worth noting the information was taken before the BP oil spill and after Hurricane Katrina, which caused an increase in unemployment.

Here's a look at the 10 laziest states:

1. Louisiana
2. Mississippi
3. Arkansas
4. North Carolina
5. Tennessee
6. Kentucky
7. West Virginia
8. South Carolina
9. Alabama
10. Delaware

North Dakota was ranked as the least lazy state.

How good are women drivers?
Posted: 07/22/2010 by Josh

If you’re a guy who finds himself phantom braking while sitting in the passenger seat as your wife or girlfriend drives, you’re not alone. A new survey by the online market research firm OnePoll.com reveals most men feel they're better drivers than women. One in three men surveyed admitted they were actually “frightened” by their partner’s driving.

A spokesman for the research company said most men believe they are better drivers than the women in their lives, in that they “believe they concentrate a lot better, read road situations more quickly and clearly and have better reactions.”

Additional results from the survey:

•One in five men said they can never relax while their other half is driving.
•One in five couples have argued about their partner’s driving.
•One in ten men said they had been forced to grab the steering wheel when their better half took her eyes off the road.
•One in ten guys said they have felt it necessary to ask their wife to pull over so they can take over the wheel.
•Men’s biggest complaints about female drivers were they are too easily distracted by children, scenery and other motorists.
•The men surveyed also complained that women brake too late, brake too hard, drive too fast, tailgate, play with the radio too often and fail to signal properly.
The OnePoll.com survey involved three thousand men.

Carrie Underwood Honeymoons In Tahiti
Posted: 07/15/2010 by Josh

Following a weekend ceremony in Georgia, it looks like newlyweds Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher are spending their honeymoon in Tahiti.

A photographer for Radar Online managed to snap shots of the happy couple as they waded through water and walked side-by-side in Tahiti on Monday.

The couple - songstress Underwood and hockey player Fisher - began dating in 2008 after meeting at one of the singer's concerts and have been engaged since last December. They were married on Saturday at a $500,000 ceremony at the Ritz Carlton Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro, Georgia.

Radar Online's photographer managed to zoom in closely on a bikini-clad Underwood enjoying the Tahitian waters, and even captured a few shots of the songbird sporting some sort of elaborate floral headband.

As previously reported, the honeymoon destination came as a surprise to Underwood herself, who left the planning up to Fisher.
