Right. So David Blaine is going live on Oprah tomorrow to try and break the world record for holding his breath under water. He's got to beat 16 minutes and 14 seconds in order for anyone to care. That, or, like, suffer some serious brain damage or, like, die.

And, once again, Bodog has the odds on whether the magician-- er, "illusionist"-- will really break the record tomorrow on Oprah's stage. Yes is at +120 and No is at -160, which means that it's probably not going to happen, despite the fact that he's been working out like a madman to prepare. But that doesn't mean we won't like watching him suffer.

Anyway, this parody video of his "Street Magic" series is much more entertaining anyway. Unless Dave does this same look during his breath-holding that this guy does in the video. Then I might change my mind about his douche-ness.

Not to be outdone by her recent trip to open up her girls' school in Africa with a star-studded event, Oprah Winfrey is back in the news today because fan Tanya Milner is suing the multi-millionaire's studio for being pushed down the stairs during seating for a taping of the show.

Bodog wants to know if Milner is going to win the $50,000 lawsuit that she's filing:

Yes is at +130 and No is at -170. While the odds are actually kind of close, I don't think this girl has any chance of winning anything. I mean, really, even if you're just going up against the studio and not Oprah herself, you have to realize that Oprah built that place from the ground up and she's got more money and therefore more power, your butt is toast. Why even try, you know?

Is there any reason for Fiddy to bash on Oprah every 6 months? Does he have some weird thing about her? Is he obsessed? What the hell? Last week he called her an Oreo and got a few headlines, but who really thinks he's going to do anything about it but talk for a couple of media mentions? Come on, Fiddy.

Bodog wants to know if he'll go on the Oprah show by the end of February of next year.

Yes is at +200 and No is at -300. Yeah, not really going to happen. I mean, she was bashing Ludacris who was bashing her when he came on the show, so no rappers happening on O in the near future. Has Oprah actually had any rappers perform on the show? Would anybody really care?

Still, you could try and get a little extra holiday cash, right?
