This is how we spend our time off the air at work...Make sure to watch until the end...

Alright, this week's suggestion for a column came from Sarah, since (1) I've never had a pedicure and (2) I wouldn't know what a good one entails! So let us know where you get to get your feet did, and what makes it so special. Need to know any of the details (cost, service, etc.) that make it worth going back for. Thanks friends! As always, leave your comments below, and let me know your first name if it's not in your profile!

Alright, we know this might invite controversy, but we know everyone has an opinion, so we'll just state the question flat out: Where can you get the best crab cake in the Baltimore area? We're going with pure vote totals on this one, but I'd love to hear where and why. Let us know in the comments section…

 

And if you're looking for the Entertainment Report, it's over at JojoAndReagan.com!

The rumors turned out to be true:  John McCain did appear on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend.  He appeared twice . . . just like Sarah Palin did two weeks ago . . . in the opening sketch, and then in a cameo on the "Weekend Update" segment. In the first skit, he "responded" to Barack Obama's primetime infomercial . . . by joking that he could only afford to buy airtime on the cable shopping channel QVC.  (John's wife Cindy appeared in the skit . . . as did Tina Fey as Sarah Palin.) McCain dropped some pretty amusing lines, like . . . quote, "I'm a true Maverick:  A Republican without money!" . . . and, quote, "My only showbiz connections are Jon Voight and Heidi from 'The Hills'."

"High School Musical 3" pulled in another $15 million over the weekend to go virtually unchallenged in its second week.  Its nearest competition was the new Kevin Smith comedy "Zack and Miri Make a Porno", which only made $10.7 million. No word on how "Night School Musical" did.

Simon Cowell and girlfriend Terri Seymour have broken up, after six years of sharing tight black t-shirts together.  Simon's rep says they actually split about six weeks ago.  Nobody cheated . . . it was just a case of her wanting kids and him not wanting them. Simon's rep says, quote, "Simon thinks the world of Terri and that isn't going to change.  He also understands her reason for ending it."

Here's more evidence that the economic meltdown is affecting us all:  "30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan has given up on strip clubs. He says, quote, "I don't do that (stuff) no more.  I'll tell my [next] wife to get on the bed and put big [underwear] on and throw $400 at her . . . then take the money back and go food shopping."

The writing on Joaquin Phoenix's fists said it all. The words "Good Bye" were penned on the actor's knuckles at a premiere Saturday night for his latest film, "Two Lovers," and Phoenix confirmed a surprise announcement he made last week: He's giving up movies. "I think it's just moving on. It's rediscovering something else," said crazy-possibly-high Joaquin.

"Playboy" skank Holly Madison and magician Criss Angel pretty much made their relationship official, by openly making out at the opening of Criss' new Las Vegas show. 

After a completely disappointing Halloween by the Today Show crew who dressed like stupid fairy tale characters (Lame!!!!!!!), Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa made my Halloween. On Friday's "Live with Regis and Kelly", they dressed up as Joe Biden and Sarah Palin, Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum, Paula Deen and Gordon Ramsey, and (my favorite) Billy Ray Cyrus and Miley Cyrus.

Hey all...Everyeone ready for Halloween? Let me know what you're going to be...and send us your good costume pictures to post at jojoandreagan.com. You can email me at reagan@mix1065.fm. And leave some comments about your ideas...if I don't wind up seeing you at Max's in Fells Point! -- Reagan

Patrick Swayze appears to be winning his battle with pancreatic cancer . . . but that doesn't mean it's been easy. He told the "New York Times", quote, "I'm still fine to work, I haven't changed . . . Oh, I have changed, what am I saying?  It's a battle zone I go through.  Chemo, no matter how you cut it, is hell on wheels." But Swayze is well enough to put in 12-hour days filming his new A&E cop drama, "The Beast".  (It'll debut in January.)  And he's only missed a day and a half of work so far.

I don't have a source on this, and it's ridiculous, but I'll pass it along: There's a rift growing between Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. . . over breast implants.  Ashley wants to pump up her chest . . . but she wants Mary-Kate to get a matching set, so hers don't look so obvious, and they can say they just, quote, "filled out naturally." Unfortunately for Ashley, Mary-Kate likes being flat-chested, because she thinks clothes look better on her that way.  She's not the least bit interested in the surgery.

There are some people who take the annoying yentas on "The View" way, way too seriously . . . enough, apparently, to send them death threats.  At some event earlier this week, Whoopi Goldberg revealed that her co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck takes the brunt of that absurdity . . . and receives more death threats than any of the other ladies. Whoopi added, quote, "Politically we could not be more opposite, but I respect her tremendously.  Truth is, we could not have a dialogue without Elizabeth.  It's not that we have to agree, the important thing is that we have the conversation." Speaking of their riveting debates, tomorrow is "The View's" annual Halloween special, which means the ladies will be arguing with each other . . . in costume! The theme is "former presidents".  Whoopi will be Franklin D. Roosevelt, Joy Behar will have a Theodore Roosevelt costume, Elisabeth is dressing as Ronald Reagan (naturally), Barbara Walters will be George Washington . . . . and Sherri Shepherd, bless her heart, will be dressed up as a giant penny. . . because pennies have Abraham Lincoln on them.

Do you know anybody who runs moonshine?  Have you ever met anyone who's even seen an actual still???  I ask this because I just found out that people still make moonshine.  And Bill Pullman's kid still drinks it.  (?) Bill Pullman is an actor, for those of you who don't immediately recognize his name.  He played the president in "Independence Day" . . . and the guy Sandra Bullock falls for in "While You Were Sleeping".  On Monday night, Bill's 19-year-old son, Jack Pullman, was arrested in Asheville, North Carolina for getting smashed on shine. Jack and a 19-year-old friend were pulled over and arrested on charges of underage drinking, possession of moonshine, resisting police and the rather serious-sounding charge of assaulting a government official.  They were released on Tuesday….presumably to go back to their jobs in a jug band.

Forbes.com has released its annual list of the Top-Earning Dead Celebrities.  And, yet again, Elvis Presley is the king. For the second year in a row, Elvis overcame the disadvantages of, you know, no longer being alive, to earn $52 million over the past year. Elvis earned more than some of the biggest living music stars over the same period.  By comparison, Justin Timberlake "only" pulled in $44 million . . . while Madonna has had to scrape by on $40 million. The next three on the list are Charlie Brown creator Charles Schulz, Heath Ledger and Albert Einstein. Why is Einstein pulling in dough? Think about it...There's a reason his estate is making more money now...I'll post the answer below.

In a vote that must have had her costars celebrating backstage, Cloris Leachman was eliminated from "Dancing with the Stars" last night. During the show's first-ever sitdown exit interview, 82-year old Cloris told hosts Samantha Harris and Tom Bergeron, "You know, I'm not leaving. I should get a pretty costume and be here next week. I'm going to sit right over there. I can't go home—are you serious?" Now, the night before, Carrie Ann Inaba told Cloris that she shouldn't be on the show, but Cloris made peace with Carrie Ann, saying, quote, "I know you didn't mean what you said, and I love you."  Actually, Cloris, I think she did mean what she said.

Joaquin Phoenix has a movie coming out in February called "Two Lovers".  After that, there's nothing on his schedule.  And, according to him, there never will be. Joaquin says he's quitting acting . . . for real . . . to concentrate on "his music". He told "Extra", quote, "This will be my last performance as an actor . . . I'm not doing films anymore . . . I'm working on my music.  I'm done.  I've been through that." Joaquin, I'm going to have you sit down with Keanu Reeves. And Russell Crowe. And Kevin Costner.

The "New York Post" claims that the wife of one of the network TV bosses threw a pool party in Los Angeles recently.  And she hired Michael Phelps to appear and, quote, "swim some laps."  Word is he got $100,000 bucks for the party.

So why is Einstein now one of the richest dead celebs? Because of all that "Baby Einstein" merchandise that your kids don't actually need.  Disney pays a lot to license his name for that garbage.  How do you think he would feel about that?

The body of Jennifer Hudson's 7-year-old nephew, Julian King, was found yesterday morning in the back seat of a white Chevy Suburban parked on the West Side of Chicago.  The boy had been shot. The investigation is ongoing, obviously.  Sadness.

We saw pictures yesterday of Cindy Crawford dressed as Amy Winehouse . . . and Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale doing that cheesy "Bacon and Egg" couples costume thing. It turns out that was for a party thrown by Kate Hudson.  And we found out what others dressed up as. Kate's stepfather, Kurt Russell, was dressed as a pilot.  Courtney Cox and David Arquette showed up as a witch and a wizard. Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher came, too, but they did not have matching costumes.  Isla was dressed as some sort of fairy tale princess . . . and Sacha was a cow. If there was an award for least effort, it probably went to Tobey Maguire, who showed up wearing a flannel and a trucker hat that said, "I love my white trash wife".

At last night's Goodwill Gridiron Bash, some of the Ravens dressed up for the annual event at Dave and Buster's. Todd Heap and his wife dressed up as GI Joe and Barbie, respectively. Joe Flacco dressed up as Michael Phelps (Wearing the Olympian track suit, not a speedo), and his little brother dressed up like old school Johnny Unitas.

The "New York Daily News" says that Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson plan on dressing up as Sarah and Todd Palin this year. Selena Gomez wants to be June Carter Cash. Jennifer Love Hewitt and her fiancé, Ross McCall, want to be Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Jennifer says, quote, "We're just gonna have lots of babies!  And I'm going to look really sultry and really drop dead gorgeous." Martha Stewart will . . . quite fittingly . . . dress as Medusa on Friday.

We hope you haven't gotten too attached to a whole crop of TV shows this season because they likely won't be around much longer… We know at least a few fans will be sad to hear "Pushing Daisies" is on the bubble – ratings have fallen steadily each week since its season premiere. "Dirty Sexy Money" – it boasts an all-star cast but it also features Lucy Liu. She's kinda the female Jerry O'Connell. "Lipstick Jungle" – suffering the same fate.

Judge Carrie Ann Inaba had 82-year old Cloris Leachman dead in her sight last night, pointing out the obvious: that, for the most part, Cloris doesn't actually, well, dance. After a footwork-challenged Cha-Cha, complete with odd little kicks, Carrie Ann reminded Cloris, "we lost Toni Braxton for this." As the audience booed she added "I know I'm going to be hated for this." Here's the good news: According to DialIdol.com, Cloris is most in danger of being kicked off tonight, along with Susan Lucci.

Oscar-winner and former "American Idol" star Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother were shot and killed last week at their home on the South Side of Chicago. A family member entered the home Friday afternoon and found the body of Jennifer's mother, 57-year-old Darnell Donerson.  Police later discovered the body of Jennifer's 29-year-old brother, Jason Hudson, in a bedroom. Police say both victims were shot multiple times. On top of all this, Jennifer's 7-year-old nephew, Julian, is missing . . . and Jennifer is offering a $100,000 reward for his return. Police have already arrested a suspect in the shootings.  His name is William Balfour, and he's married to but separated from Jennifer's sister Julia . . . who is Julian's mother.

Former NBA star and failed New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas apparently overdosed on sleeping pills Friday morning. Police were called to Isiah's home in Westchester County . . . outside of New York City . . . for a report of a 46-year-old man who O.D.'ed by taking about 10 Lunesta sleeping pills. He was unconscious when they arrived a little after midnight, and was transported to a nearby hospital. Isiah himself told the "New York Post" later in the day that it was his daughter, and not him, who required some kind of medical attention.  He said, quote, "It wasn't an overdose.  My daughter is very down right now.  None of us are OK." But David Hall, chief of the Harrison, New York Police Department, thinks Isiah is trying to cover something up.  It was his men who responded to the call. He says, quote, "It wasn't his daughter.  And why they're throwing her under the bus is beyond my ability to understand. My cops know the difference between a 47-year-old black male and a young black female.  These people should learn something from Richard Nixon. . . it's not the crime, it's the cover-up." I think this one's going to get interesting…

Amy Poehler said that after she delivered her baby, she wouldn't return to "Saturday Night Live" following the maternity leave.  Which means that Amy Poehler is done with "SNL" . . . because she gave birth to a baby boy on Saturday. This is the first child for Amy and her husband, GOB Bluth…Will Arnett.  They named him Archie, and clearly they're big David Archuleta fans.

Any fears that fans wouldn't be willing to pay for what they used to get for free were laid to rest over the weekend when Disney's "High School Musical 3" pulled in a whopping $42-million dollars. The first two movie installments aired on cable's Disney Channel. "Saw V" came in second with just over $30-million. Fun fact: "Saw" is now the top grossing horror franchise of all time, beating out Freddy, Jason and Air Bud.

Alright, for next week's column in the Baltimore Examiner, we're looking for Best Halloween Costume Ideas. Since everybody else is going to be dressed as either Sarah Palin or the Joker, we want something more creative than that! Now, I'll give you a few of my preferences:

-Pop culture-centric (In years past, I've been Ferris Bueller, Vanilla Ice and Kevin Federline)

-Not punny (Yes, I get it: *Cereal* Killer...Because you taped boxes of Fruit Loops and Count Chocula to you, and then stabbed the boxes. AHhahahhahahahaaaa...Stop.)

-Somewhat random (See: Federline, Kevin)

-If you have to make a name tag, it's not cool (See: Jim from the Office. Great character, but how would you know it's him besides some obvious sign that says "Dunder Mifflin Employee" or "Hello, My Name is Jim from the Office". Fail. )

So...who do you suggest?? Let me know your ideas...male or female...and suggestions on how to pull them off. A couple of ideas I'm kicking around: Slim Goodbody, Billy Mays (the infomercial guy) and a few others I'll keep secret.

"Saturday Night Live" did another one of their prime-time special 'election' editions of Weekend Update last night . . . and Will Ferrell returned to do his impersonation of President Bush.  And yes, he met up with Tina Fey as Sarah Palin. Since the skit brought together the show's two most popular political impersonations in recent history, expectations were pretty high.  It started out as a presidential address from the Oval Office.  When Tina Fey showed up, they discussed who was more folksy, plus Will Ferrell described how the Vice President was actually more powerful than the president. Ferrell said he was unaware that his approval ratings were low because he had several months ago declared the Oval Office a "bummer free zone." Ferrell informed her that her role as vice president was "the most important in the land" and that the "president can do nothing without checking with the vice president." You can check out the clip here: http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/update-thursday-bush-endorsement/783981/

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have thrown out every excuse in the book to explain why they're not getting married . . . from the "It's just a piece of paper" excuse to the "We're not getting married until it's legal for everyone to get married." But Angelina is suddenly changing her tune, and admitting she and Brad might get married . . . for the kids. She says, quote, "Usually people fall in love and everything revolves around the ritual of marriage, children are an afterthought.  We did everything backwards. But sooner or later it will be the kids who ask us [to get married].  You know, they see films and start asking questions.  Such as, 'Why are Shrek and Fiona married and you're not?'" Shrek and Fiona are also green and obese, so….

The Chicago Sun-Times claims Cloris Leachman is rubbing a lot of people the wrong way – and not just viewers of "Dancing with the Stars"! The paper says the actress' wacky and over-the-top antics are annoying the hell out of her fellow dancers and even the show's hosts. A source says fellow dancer Susan Lucci is fit to be tied. She is working so hard and is outraged that others have been eliminated who are far better than Cloris. It's all about her obnoxious, Sanjaya-esque schtick. … There are deep concerns that people are going to tune out, thinking this has become a big joke and not the serious though entertaining dance competition it's supposed to be. On a related note, "Lord of the Dance" superstar Michael Flatley will be on the show next week, filling-in for judge Len Goodman.  Len is taking the week off for some unknown reason, probably because he hates Cloris Leachman. I say the get Cloris to replace Samantha Harris.

Anne Hathaway's ex-boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri, has been sentenced to four and a half years in prison for bilking investors of $2.4 million in a scheme in which he posed as the CEO of the Vatican. Anne dated Raffaello for four years, but broke up with him this summer, after all of this came out, and it was clear that he had no experience in poping. I would like to point out that I have never pretended to be tight with the Pope, and have never been sentenced to ANY time in prison. Anne, call me.

44-year old comedian Caroline Rhea welcomed her first child on Monday in New York, reports people magazine. The former star of "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" and host of "The Biggest Loser" finally decided this year to get pregnant with her longtime boyfriend, stand up comedian Costaki Economopoulos. Say that three time fast. Hell, even once. Caroline explains the origins of daughter Ava Rhea Economopoulos' name: "We wanted the shortest first name possible, since her last name is the alphabet.
