Well, Jocelyn's not quite inconsolable, but it's been a down day in the office today.
But if you really think about it, it was pretty much set up since Brooke went home last week: one girl left, and The Davids are in a catfight for first place, and he conveniently mumbles the lyrics, giving America the reason not to vote for him (or for the producers to kick him off). A sad state of affairs all around, people. The betting guide is updated, and Syesha's got crosshairs on her forehead.
And a quick note on the politics front: the rumor today is that Obama's going to declare victory on May 20 in regards to the Democratic nomination, and betUS has him at -800, people. That would mean in order to make any money on him clinching the nomination, you'd have to bet $800 to see anything. Seriously. That's $200 more than my stimulus check, y'all.

Barack Obama's speech on race this week perked up a lot of folks. But did it change his odds at all? Well, maybe a little. betUS has updated their odds on who is going to be the next president of this little country of ours. Hillary Clinton is at +350, John McCain is at +135, and Barack Obama is in the lead with +115. The next big showdown for the Democrats is in Pennsylvania, which is still about a month away, and that could end up being the big deciding factor for the Dems. Could John McCain slip through and take the White House? The odds say no for now.
We'll have a betting guide later on this week, but for now, we'll just give you who our favorites are and who might be going home this week.
The guys dance tonight, and betUS has Adam Corolla down at the bottom of the list at +2000, which does not bode well for reigning champ Julianne Hough. She'd better get his butt to boot camp if he's going to have any chance of winning. Steve Guttenberg is also down at the bottom at +2000, which is probably likely considering his cheese factor. R&B singer Mario has the best chance for the guys at +300, and with Karina Smirnoff as his partner, he should get pretty far this season.
Tomorrow night is the ladies, and like we posted before, Kristy Yamaguchi is the favorite at +250, with Broadway actress Marissa Jaret Winokur at the bottom at +1500. But you know what? Don't hate on Marissa just because she's a little heavier. Sabrina Bryan kicked some butt for awhile last season.
So who's going home? It'll be hard to watch, but I think the Guttenberg and maybe Pricilla Presley (unless she pulls off a Marie Osmond and finagels the QVC crowd again). Oy.
Hillary doesn't want to be Barack's VP, and Barack doesn't want to be Hillary's VP. But will it happen either way? betUS has a little prop on which way the ticket might go, depending on who gets the Democratic nomination.
For Obama to run with Clinton as VP, it's at +300, and for Clinton to run with Obama as VP, it's at +500, so neither one looks all that appealing, but Barack with Hillary as a running mate looks more plausible according to the numbers. That's probably because Barack's more of the favorite to win the election outright, but things could change-- just ask Hillary after Texas and Ohio.
It seems like yesterday that we watched Helio and Julianne make out, and now we have a whole new cast of Dancing With The Stars. betUS already has their take on who might win on the new season that starts on the 17th. Of course, a couple of the athletes are the favorites, and most of the older folks are way down on the list:
Skater Kristi Yamaguchi is at +150 and Miami Dolphins player Jason Taylor is at +175. Football players do well on this show, but Jason's a defensive end, which is not the most graceful of positions on a team. Kristi is a graceful skater, so she already has the most experience out of everyone else in the competition.
Actress Marlee Matlin is at +1500, and one of our favorite 80's icons Steve Guttenberg is at +3000. Okay, look, Marlee Matlin is a fantastic actress, and I know she's got rhythm. She'll be lead around the floor for most of her dances. And Steve was a buff dude in the 80's, and now, maybe not so much. Unless he's able to pull out some serious charm, he's going home in the early weeks.
Obama is the one to beat? That's what the odds say
Barack Obama won big in Hawaii's caucus and Wisconsin's primaries on Tuesday, swinging the odds for the presidental race over to him. Some of the pundits are saying it may be likely that Obama will take the March 4th primaries in Ohio and Texas.
What does that mean for the odds? Well, if you'd already bet on Barack, you might be able to get a little cash, and if you haven't bet on Hilary and still think she's going to win, there's a little cash for you there, too (if she wins).
Even though Mike Huckabee hasn't officially dropped out of the race yet, he doesn't have any odds up for winning the presidency at betUS. They have Hillary Clinton at +600, John McCain at +150, and Barack Obama at -160. With those odds, it's a John McCain/Barack Obama race.
But the March 4th primaries are looking like they'll be the deciding factor. The odds could swing back to Hilary's favor if she takes Ohio and Texas.
Awhile back we went though the Worst Movie of the Year, and loved the craters those bombs had left on a poor, unsuspecting public. This week, just before the Oscars on Sunday, we give you the Worst Actors of the Year. betUS has the rundown on the nominees for the Razzies' Worst Actors.
Nicolas Cage - Ghost Rider & National Treasure II +150: First of all, while Nicholas Cage used to be somewhat attractive at some point (I'm not 100% sure when, though), I think it's time for him to really just take care of the hair situation. Just shave, dude. I know, it's admitting defeat, but really, it's doing receding hairlines everywhere a favor. Seriously.
Eddie Murphy (as Norbit), Norbit+130: Like I said before: remember when Eddie Murphy was like, offensive and funny? Here he's just offensive, and there's no way he can get away with it. I'm not sure what convinced him to do this after being nominated for an effing Oscar, but I'm sure he was thinking of some kind of revenge. And he took it out on his fans, unfortunately.
Adam Sandler, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry+300: I mean, if we had two openly gay actors in this flick, it might have actually been funny. But it's like white people trying to do a movie about other ethnicities: it's just not as funny unless you're in on the joke. I mean, the trying wasn't even commendable.
Cuba Gooding Jr., Daddy Day Camp+600: How do good actors get convinced to do these movies? It's like there was some kind of stupid virus that took over their agent's, manager's, and their own mind. Like, you even get a whiff of Oscar gold and somehow you think you're immune to doing useless movies like this.
Jim Carrey, The Number 23+800: Out of curiosity, I actually watched this particular flick over the weekend, thinking maybe there was something redeeming about it. Um. No. Not even remotely. The concept was interesting, even the concept of Jim Carrey going dark and playing a character completely outside of his realm, but it just didn't work. At all.
Finally we're getting down to the real deal on American Idol, and there doesn't seem to be one Sanjaya-like person in the house this year. Which is good, because at least we can watch the whole show and not have to plug our ears every week and averting our eyes from that trainwreck, but bad because Sanjaya was the best reality TV evar.
I'm just saying Danny Norriega. He's fierce. Rowr.
betUS has the odds on who will be the first two guys or girls to go on American Idol.
On the girls' side, they have Amy Jean Davis at -175 and Alaina Whitaker at -110, even from just reading their bios, I can see why.
Alaina Whitaker at -110: Alaina's influences are all country, and she's 16 years old from Tulsa, Oklahoma, which means that even if she's singing pop songs, she's going to have a twang. And her age definitely puts her at a disadvantage, no matter how good she is. She just looks too innocent (is that even possible anymore?)
Amy Jean Davis at -175: While Amy's a good singer as well, she's a little too plain to make it all the way. She might be able to hang in there and get the sympathy vote like Haley did last season, but with the bulk of talent this year, it's probably not very likely.
For the boys, they've got Luke Menard at -140 and David Hernandez at -120.
Luke Menard at -140: Don't get me wrong, Luke is a cute cute little man, and from what we've seen so far, he's got a good voice. But he looks older than 29, if that's even possible. If he can't break out of the gate early, he'll definitely be in trouble.
David Hernandez at -120: I like David. But he didn't seem to shine so much during Hollywood week, which may have mucked his chances going into this part of the competition. Also, he may end up picking songs that are too obscure for the American public to vote for before the theme weeks begin.
Our love for Dancing With The Stars never ends. The hotness of Maksim Chmerkovskiy never fades, even when the show's not on. But can he win it next year, after almost taking it with Mel B. last season. betUS has some guesses on who might be the winning partner on the next season.
Julianne Hough +500: Hot little Julianne has won the last two seasons, which makes her look really good to win again the next season coming up. She's also a better dancer than her brother, which is a real advantage in the competition.
Maksim Chmerkovskiy +500: Poor Maks is always the bridesmaid, never the bride. He's done that the past two seasons, and I'm sure it's gotta wear on a brother. Is it possible he could turn up the hotness any more so he can go all the way? (Yeah, I said "go all the way." That's right.)
Cheryl Burke +600: Cheryl's won a few times, but it's been a couple of seasons, so she's a little behind with her odds. She might be poised to make a comeback, if she gets paired up with another athlete.
Kym Johnson +600: Kym's done pretty well for herself over the seasons, getting eliminated towards the middle/end, so she's gotten pretty close to winning, and might have a decent chance on the next season.
With the good comes the bad. Every year we root for the worst movies of the year, celebrate the bombs and crashes of Hollywood. We look forward to the Razzies as much as we look forward to the other glamorous award ceremonies in Hollywood.
betUS has the odds on a couple of Razzie categories, including Worst Picture:
I Know Who Killed Me (-300): I mean, of course Lindsay's going to have the best odds, if only because she's had such a trashtastic kind of year, and it wasn't like this movie was going to give her any shred of credibility. I mean, not that she really had any in the first place, even before rehab.
Norbit (+400): Why, Eddie Murphy, why? Remember about 20 years ago when you were funny, even when you were being politically incorrect? Yeah, you can't really do that anymore. And by that I mean be politically incorrect and be funny. And by that I mean you just aren't funny.
Bratz (+750): Even back in the day when I actually liked New Kids On The Block would I have gone to see this movie. Like, what studio exec thought it was a brilliant idea to greenlight this flick? Seriously. It's bad enough the girls look... strange. The dolls are creepy enough on their own.
I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (+900): Can we upgrade Adam Sandler to Has-Been status already? Or maybe that's just me being biased, because I don't think the dude is as funny as folks make him out to be. Maybe he should get some lifetime recognition for his work (you know, other than Punch-Drunk Love. Then again, that's probably just me. When I'm biased, I really like to be biased.
Daddy Day Camp (+1000): It really is a shame to watch someone like Cuba Gooding Jr. go down in flames like this. Not even a delightful kind of shame. I root for the guy to get a real acting job, but something about formerly decent actors making (bad) movies for their children just grinds my gears Peter Griffin-style.
Saturday Showdown: South Carolina's Democratic Primary Odds
After the Dems' debate earlier this week-- and seeing the back-and-forth of Hillary and Barack-- it'll be interesting to see how tomorrow's primary in South Carolina goes. McCain won there last weekend, which helped to boost his overall election odds on the Republican side.
betUS has the numbers on who's left, now that Kucinich is out as of today, and the odds are... weird. Hillary's at +900, Barack is at -2000, and John Edwards is at +2500, so in all actuality, even though Barack has the minus odds, it's such a huge number, and Hillary's odds, even for being on the plus side, are pretty big. In that sense, it's almost a toss-up, with or without the punditry. One thing is for sure, though: John Edwards is saying he's in it for the long haul, but his odds are indicating that that might not be the most prudent idea.
Nevada Caucuses could affect the presidential odds
Whatever your political affiliations are (or if you even have any!), you can still make a little dough on all the caucuses and primaries happening right now in the U.S. With every new week brings a new winner, so the odds are changing all the time. It's almost too much to keep up with.
Anyway, the big deal down here in Vegas are the Nevada caucuses happening tomorrow the 19th. Almost all of the candidates have rolled through town in the past couple of weeks, and the Democrats had a debate earlier in the week. You can't turn on the TV without seeing a political ad. It's crazy.
betUS has the odds on this weekend's caucus here in Nevada, for both parties:
Republican Candidate: Mitt Romney (-500), Mick Huckabee (+1500), John McCain (+600), Rudy Guiliani (+1400), Ron Paul (+1400), Fred Thompson (+2500): Romney's got the edge for the Republicans because he's Mormon, and there's a big Mormon base here in southern Nevada-- Las Vegas, despite its present form, was actually founded by Mormons, you know. They love him, and he didn't really have to come down here to represent his campaign.
Democratic Candidate: Hillary Clinton (-160), Barack Obama (+120), John Edwards (+1000): Though Hillary's got the edge, Barack's got the backing of the Culinary Union here in Vegas, which is huge for him. Not to mention there's been controversy with some of the caucus sites being in Strip casinos, which some of the other candidates were not happy about. It'll make this close, but Hillary may just eek it out.
The awards ceremony is canceled in favor of a press conference on Sunday, so it won't be the huge, glamorous event that it's been in the past. That doesn't mean you can't make a few bucks from it, right? Right.
Today we'll be breaking down the Best Actor in a Drama nominees, from betUS's odds (To see the odds, click "Future/Props," then "Entertainment Props," then on "65th Golden Globe Awards."):
George Clooney - Michael Clayton (+400): Good 'Ol George has a pretty decent shot with this role, even though the movie quietly came and went at the box office. The way that it's looking right now, he might be a good hedge bet for this category. His last win was for Supporting Actor in 2005, so he might just be primed for the bigger award this year.
Daniel Day-Lewis - There Will Be Blood (-250): The critics are all over his performance for this movie, and it's the reason why he's the favorite going into Sunday. I don't think it's even possible for him to make a bad movie, really. But it's all going to depend on how mainstream the voters are this year.
James McAvoy - Atonement (+350): He got a lot of attention for Last King of Scotland last year, which makes sense for him being in this movie. His odds say he's got an edge over George, which is certainly possible. But you've also got Denzel in here, too, which turns things around a little.
Viggo Mortensen - Eastern Promises (+1600): You know, I feel bad for Viggo here. He's up against some powerhouse performances in this category, even in a year when the critics were applauding his showing in this movie. His chance is so small just because he just isn't getting the same attention as the other noms.
Denzel Washington - American Gangster (+900 ): I'm really curious why Denzel doesn't have better odds this time around. Even the critics who didn't like the film so much loved him in it. And, come on, it's Denzel for crying out loud. How could he not have better odds?
Maybe it's the holidays or something, but every girl in Hollywood is either getting a ring or a baby. What's the deal, people? It looks like the big trend in 2008 is going to be the shotgun wedding. Which begs the questions: who's the next starlet to get a big 'ol rock on her perfectly manicured finger? betUS has a few guesses into who might be next:
Britney Spears (+400): She's got some of the best odds, well, because she's Britney. I don't think her meltdown is over yet, and she's still young enough to get another 52 hour marriage under her belt, you know? I think it's just a matter of which bloke needs the most publicity.
Paris Hilton (+400): Paris hasn't even gone through a fake engagement yet. What is wrong with this girl? She's supposed to be a pro at this. But, she just lost her inheritance from her grandfather, so I wouldn't be surprised if she latches on to any man with money and moving parts next year. Anyone? Anyone? Just as long as it's not an upstanding guy with good values, I think we'll approve.
Jessica Simpson (+1000): With quarterback Tony Romo losing a game with her in the box, I don't think Cowboys fans would be too thrilled if they ended up engaged. Dallas doesn't strike me as a rioting city, but that might just happen. Go long, Jess! Catch the Hail Mary! Oh, wait. She's a cheerleader, right?
Lindsay Lohan (+700): You never know. She's been hanging out with that dude she met in rehab quite a bit lately, so you never know what kind of withdrawal-symptom craziness could happen. She's lucky she hasn't lost an appendage yet, let alone a drunken drive-through marriage here in Vegas. I know you think I'm kidding when I say that, but I'm serious. Seriously. She might think getting married is good therapy. Don't ask me how that all works, though.
Cameron Diaz (+1600): Didn't she say something about never wanting to get married or something? She was with Justin for so long it felt like they were just going to be one of those couples of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn or something. I wouldn't put it past her, considering she looks like the type with a hippie streak.
I have to be honest, when I heard this week that Britney's little 16 year-old sister was pregnant, I laughed a little. I couldn't help it. Don't get me wrong: I do think it's a little disturbing, however not altogether surprising. I mean, this is the same gene pool that brought you such hits as: "Barefoot In The Public Restoom," "The 54 Hour Marriage," "The Worst (And Yet Best) VMA Performance Ever," and "Stabbing Cars With Umbrellas (Ellas-Ellas-Ellas)." You know, amongst other things.
betUS has ever so kindly put up a nice little bunch of Jamie-Lynn props for us to peruse, but my favorite is the "Birds Of A Feather" prop. (To see the props, click on "Future/Props," then "Entertainment Props," then on "Jaime Lynn Spears Props.")
If she'll be pictured pantyless by December 31, 2008 at +500: She may be on the verge of getting fired by Nickelodeon, but I don't think she'll go that far when she gets older. Then again, there is the idea of her looking up to her big sister. And frankly, that gives me shivers.
Will she shave her head by December 31, 2008 at +750: I get the feeling it might be Britney with the crazy streak. Then again, post-partum depression can really get to new mothers, can't it?
Jamie Lynn to have 2 children by the age of 20 at -125: This wouldn't surprise me at all, especially if she gets all caught up with either her current dude or a future dude to be determined in the next 4 years.
Whether or not she'll be in a Paternity suit +400: With the way things are going with the Spearses, I thought this would've had better odds. Seriously. When folks like K-Fed are looking good connected to your family, maybe it's time to step back and take stock of who we're letting into our naughty bits.
The nominations won't be announced until January 22nd, but already with the Golden Globe nominations already being out, there's already some speculation on who may get nominated for an Oscar next month.
betUS has put together a list of movies most likely to get nominated, and we've rounded up the top contenders:
Atonement (+300): Both Keira Knightley and James McAvoy are nominated for Golden Globes, as well as the film for Best Picture - Drama. It's been getting tons of buzz here in the States.
No Country For Old Men (+300): The Coen brothers came back in a big way this year with this film based on the Cormac McCarthy novel. Javier Bardem received a Best Supporting Actor nod, which helps their chances.
Charlie Wilson's War (+500): It's almost a perfect formula for Oscar gold: Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, director Mike Nichols, and screenwriter (and West Wing creator) Aaron Sorkin. Throw an Oscar at this flick and someone's bound to catch one.
American Gangster (+500): All the critics were basically in agreement about this movie: it wasn't great, but Denzel Washington is fantastic. Denzel could be reading a box of Rice-A-Roni and get nominated.
There Will Be Blood (+500): This is the latest film from Paul Thomas Anderson, who also directed Boogie Nights and Magnolia, both movies garnering him a lot of attention, but there's a chance the film may get buried because of so many other nominated movies.
Sweeney Todd (+750 ): There's probably a pretty good shot for the latest Johnny Depp/Tim Burton collaboration to get nominated, but it's harder for musicals when it comes to the Oscar nods.
I mean, I'm pretty sure I want to see the Jackson 5 reunite. Then again, considering their ages and the amount of plastic surgery on that stage, it could be the worst idea on the face of the planet for all I know. Then again, it might make for a great TV special. Or tour. Those dance moves are going to be smokin', y'all.
betUS has a couple of props about the Jackson brothers and their fate next year. The odds on if they'll record a new album in 2008 are at +175, which actually isn't bad. But with Michael putting out that new 25th anniversary version of Thriller this year, it looks less of a possibility. Actually, the better odds are on whether they'll tour in 2008 at +110, which I can see as being more feasible. I mean, if Michael wants to ever leave the house again without getting arrested.
But, just for my innocence (and maybe yours), here's the video for "Can You Feel It?" for your weekend.
We know. We tried to gather up some kind of enthusiasm for the American Idol spinoff show, The Next Great American Band. We really did, because we (heart) AI around here. Not even kidding.
But we just couldn't find it in our little party hearts to stay home every Friday to watch it. That doesn't mean we won't talk about it if there are odds, and we've actually got some for you. betUS was kind enough to put up some odds on all the bands left in the competition. (To see the odds, click on a number, then "Future/Props," then "Entertainment Props," then "The Next Great American Band."):
Sixwire (+250): They're a little older bar band from Nashville (which gives them a little country tinge) whose lead singer looks just like Kenny Loggins, but has nice charisma when he sings. If they're going for the Adult Contemporary route, they might be able to make it all the way. But is this show really the demographic they're looking for? Doesn't seem like it, but they're more solid that most of the groups left. Franklin Bridge (+350): In their bio they have a wide array of pop and hip-hop acts as influences, which is interesting for an R&B-ish band from Philadelphia. They sound like a party band that is waiting for that sweet cover to come by in the competition so they can knock it out of the park. And I hope they do. The Clark Brothers (+250): A trio of adorable brothers from Nashville, they've played for SHeDaisy and Carrie Underwood (surprise, being that this is an American Idol spinoff). They're a solid act, but the thing about country singers, and the reason why Carrie won her season, was versatility. Would they be able to pull out the pop if they had to? Tres Bien (+450): This Florida band has a bit of a Fall Out Boy look to them, which is worrisome. They're going for a British Invasion (think Kinks) kind of sound, which is a good sound to cop for this kind of show. But watching their videos, they don't seem to quite make the covers their own. Dot Dot Dot (+750): Are these guys for real? With a new-wave aesthetic, anime haircuts, and a glam-punk sound, it just seems way too overdone. I get it, I get it-- post-irony-indie-pop-culture-doohickey-whatever. Whatever happened to just playing music just because? Light of Doom (+550): Oh. My. God. A pre-pubescent metal band from San Diego. I love them. They're too cute. But you know the weird thing? They're actually good... when they can remember the lyrics. (Man, and that's not even 'cause they're on drugs. Well, hopefully.) The Muggs (+2000): I'm sure these guys were doing well in Detroit before they came on this show, but it just seems like they're really out of place here. I mean, they look like they're having fun, but that's about it. And their odds reflect that. Denver and the Mile High Orchestra (+1000): No kidding, there are 12 people in this band. Awesome. The unfortunate thing is that they draw the line between being great musicians (like Chicago) and sounding like a jazz/swing parody (like Richard Cheese). That just doesn't go far with pop bands. Rocket (+2500): They're an all-girl punk-ish band from (surprise) L.A. who list Mr. Belvedere as an influence (a plus in my book). The thing about their performance is that they try and do the coy little girl routine that just falls flat. I mean, who can top The Go Gos at this point, right? Cliff Wagner and the Old #7 (+800): A cute little bluegrass band from Los Angeles of all places, they're a solid band, but bluegrass doesn't really go far in pop circles unless you're willing to go all the way and just do an all bluegrass version of The Wall or something.
This year's Country Music Awards are being held on November 7 and will be hosted by Jeff Foxworthy. Who will take home the coveted award of "Entertainer of the Year?" Here are the nominees and their BetUS Odds!
Kenny Chesney has the most favorable odds at +200. He also won this award last year. Personally, I am over Kenny Chesney. I think I stopped liking him about 5 years ago when all of his songs turned into alcoholic ballads about Mexico and sand. Seriously, all of his songs sound the same now. It's disgusting.
Brad Paisley is MY MAN with odds to win at +300! I love this guy! He is such a talented guitarist, singer and song writer. His songs are insightful, comical, and very true. I love his honesty. Has he been out and about enough this year to win the Entertainer of the Year award? I doubt it, but I can hope!
Rascal Flatts could very well win this year's Entertainer of the Year with odds at +400. They are an AMAZING trio who can't manage to stay out of the top 10. Their shows are awesome and they show no sign of slowing down. Long Live Rascal Flatts!
George Strait's odds to win Entertainer of the Year are +500. I have been a fan of his since I was just a little young lady! He's up to over 50 #1 hits!! This guy is unstoppable - he's a living legend. Although he commands so much respect in the Country Music Industry, I just don't see him taking home this prize this year.
Keith Urban, are you in or out of re-hab right now? Seriously, guy, I can't keep up with you. He's the longshot here with odds at +800. I think I'm falling off the Keith Urban train just about as fast as I fell off the Kenny Chesney train. His music is decent, but he's got to get his life in order before he starts taking home performance awards. Isn't there a rumor about his wife being pregnant, too?!
Is marriage really all bliss in Hollywood? Are any of the many celebrity couples in danger of divorce? Are we chomping at the bit for another messy brawl between two self-absorbed, bratty celebrities? Yes we are!
betUS has the odds on which Hollywood couples may be next to step into the divorce ring. (To get to the props, click on one of the odds below, then "Future/Props," then "Entertainment Props," then "Celebrity Divorce.")
Tom Cruise - Katie Holmes (+125): Your favorites, folks. I think we'd all like to see this end. I mean, I know a lot of guys who would be very happy to see Katie Holmes wake up from her zombie state and be hot again. But Scientology is a powerful, um, group of people.
Jennifer Garner - Ben Affleck (+200): You know, I just don't see this happening. I'm not even sure why they'd be in second place running when I just saw Ben on The Daily Show not two days ago with a permanent smile on his face.
Jennifer Lopez - Marc Anthony (+300): Well, considering JLo's (supposedly) pregnant with twins, this should be one of the worser ones to bet on. Though what worries me is what those kids are going to look like with zombie Marc. Now, that might just cause a divorce.
Christina Aguilera - Jordan Bratman (+500): We know for sure that Xtina's pregnant, so this would probably be the longest shot out of all of them. Unless Jordan Bratman is one of those baby daddies? (Probably not.)
Victoria Beckham - David Beckham (+600): Posh and Becks have been together for so long, you'd think they'd be bickering like old folks at this point. But they've been keeping it together, at least in public. I would guess that if there were really any couples close to the verge of breaking up, they'd be it. And you'd make some nice change from it, too.
Eva Longoria - Tony Parker (+900): They just got married this past summer, people. Come on. Though if Eva's itching to have some babies and Tony's not having it, there could be some trouble really quick for these two.
Can you tell how utterly excited and thrilled I am about this!!? I just checked BetUS and they ALREADY have a prop bet on American Idol's Season 7 winner. Will it be Male or Female?
Right now is actually a good time to get in on this prop because Male and Female are tied with each other at-120.
I think I'll be putting my money on Male. 4 out of the 6 winners of American Idol have been Female. So, we are clearly overdue for having a Male winner!
I cannot wait to see it all unfold this January!
But before we begin anew, may we take a moment of silence to remember our favorite Top 2 contestants from last season: Blake and Jordin!
It seems like every other day there's some kind of rumor about who's adopting what kid out of some country or other. There's something about Hollywood folks with all that money trying to adopt all the children out of some 3rd world country so they can have a photo op.
