The consequences of sleep apnea, as described by the litany of doctors early in this video, is pretty frightening. So take it from Shaq and get checked out.

It's hard to feel bad for someone whose doomsday predictions caused so much anxiety, but 89-year-old Harold Camping's recent admission that he's "flabbergasted" the world didn't end last weekend sounds somewhat pitiful.

"It has been a really tough weekend," Camping said Sunday, after emerging from his Alameda, California home for the first time to talk to a reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle. "I'm looking for answers ... But now I have nothing else to say," he said, adding that he would make a full statement. I mean really would anyone take this guy seriously?

Thomas(notes) was drafted in the sixth round by the Chicago Bears, but the lockout leaves him without much to do right now. The athletic, hard-hitting linebacker out of West Virginia University is still in Morgantown, keeping in shape and spending time with his family.

Every day, Thomas helps his 7-year-old brother Jared get home from school. Riding the same bus as Jared is an eighth-grade girl named Joslyn Levell, who happened to grow up in Chicago as a Bears fan and now lives in Morgantown. Joslyn has spina bifida and uses a wheelchair.
With assists from the bus driver and J.T.'s stepmother, Thomas got on the bus one day to say hello to Joslyn. They hit it off immediately. From NFL.com:
As J.T. met a Bears fan in his hometown, Joslyn explained to him that she'd had a rough week because all of the boys she asked to the dance declined. Thomas melted.
"I hugged her and signed a few things and we talked for awhile and she cried a bit," Thomas recounted. "I gave her a hug and told her everything would work itself out."
It did. J.T. asked her to the dance himself.
"I was nervous that by the time I reached out, she might have had a date and would have to turn me down," he said.
Joslyn gladly accepted the invitation. And another fell good storyu for the week.

Westwood High track coach Tom Davis was fired last week because one of his runners decided to whip off a shirt during training on a 75-degree day. This wasn't a girl, by the way. It was a boy.

And the Westwood High athletic director, Karl Fogel, was so irate about it that Davis thought he was going to lay him out.
"I fully 100 percent was expecting to be swung at," the coach told NECN TV
The team was doing quite well this year under the second-year coach: one of the relay teams went to nationals less than two months ago and the outdoor team started off 5-0 this spring. But there was an undercurrent of tension at the school as Fogel told Davis that some members of the girls team felt uncomfortable when the boys ran without shirts. Davis even warned his team about possible punishment for not wearing a shirt. I'm sorry but of these girls felt uncomforable with someone a boy not wearing a shirt they need to get a grip and grow some balls.

Atlanta-based music producer Jermaine Dupri is known for racking up hit after and hit.

But he's also racked up a lot of debt in recent years.
Channel 2 Action News has learned that Dupri's mansion on Mount Paran Road in northwest Atlanta was in foreclosure and set to be auctioned on the courthouse steps last week, but the sale was canceled at the last minute.
The law firm handling the foreclosure would not say why the sale was stopped.
Suntrust Bank had started foreclosure on an original loan amount of more than $2.5 million.
According to records Channel 2 obtained from the Georgia Department of Revenue, Jermaine Dupri Mauldin owes the state $493,768.75 in back taxes for 2007.
Channel 2's Tom Regan also spoke with a contractor who has a filed a lien against Dupri's property.
Shane Cox of Design Logistics said Dupri still owes him $12,000 for managing the star's mansion. His services included renovation and design.
"We would bring everything in, assemble, set up. Hang all the art. The art hanging in the house. Things along those lines. I feel he's a pretty nice guy. I hope he will come forward and take care of the debt we have," Cox told Regan.
Regan also spoke with Fayette County Tax Commissioner George Wingo. Wingo sent Regan documents showing Dupri owes $14,024.67 in unpaid property taxes, fees and penalties in connection with another home Dupri owns.
Regan went to Dupri's home and rang the intercom at the security gate in hopes of getting a comment from the music producer, but got no answer.
See instead of balling out of control all these rappers need to be paying the bills. Now I know why he has benn djing to make some of that money back.

WHITE SUPREMACIST MAKE KKK SNOWMAN

Some people are just stuipisd for no reason. A White Supremacist in Idaho had his neighbors up in arms after he erected a 10 foot snowman with a pointed hat holding a noose in his front yard.  The nut who also gave out bullet casings on Halloween after he ran out of candy finally rounded the head of the snowman after cops were called to his home for causing a public disturbance. Hey I may not agree with his position but if it's in his yard on his own property he has a right to make what he wants. WHITE POWER (in Dave chappelle comedy voice).

cover: Kid Cudi for Complex Magazine

Kid Cudi opens up in a new cover story for Complex Magazine. In a wide-ranging Q&A, Mr. Rager admits to heavy cocaine use over the past year, takes shots at Wale and announces that he recently fathered his first child, a baby girl named Vada. 

A very candid Cudi addresses his cocaine usage: "I started doing cocaine to get through interviews, 'cause people wanted to know a lot about my personal life and I wasn't prepared for a '60 Minutes' interview every time," he says. "Doing bumps I was able to get through the day, but then I would smoke weed to calm me down -- it was the only way I could get through the day without people noticing I was doing it. I never thought it was a problem, but I was definitely high-fiving death a couple of times."

Cudi does claim that his recent arrest was a wake-up call: "No more blow. People do drugs to camouflage emotions and run away from their problems. Now I'm going to deal with certain things as they come, prioritize s---, man up, so to speak. Just for the record, it bugged me out that people said it was liquid cocaine. No, I'm just f---in' rich, and my blow comes in a jar."

As for Wale, Cudi took exception to a recent line where the D.C. rapper claimed to throw a wallet like a Cudi fan. When asked if he felt the line was meant to be a diss, the lonely stoner basically dismissed Wale's skills entirely.

"It wasn't a shot, it's just a simple-a-- rhyme by a simple-a-- rapper. You can't let that s--- faze you. That's one of those raps that just shows the world that you wack. Why would you even use that as a metaphor?" Cudi continues: "People like Wale get mad that 'Ye ain't give him no beats. 'Ye ain't give you no beats because we ain't f---in' with your raps. It's not a conspiracy theory. We don't f--- with you musically, so we're not going to provide music for you."

Did Elle Lighten Gabourey Sidibe’s Skin??

Gabourey Sidibe is one of four celebrities who cover Elle's October 25th anniversary issue and alot of people are saying that photo editors digitally retouched Sidibe so that her skin looks several shades lighter than it does in other photos. Elle claims no wrongdoing. In a statement the magazine said that “nothing out of the ordinary” had been done to the photograph.

We have four separate covers this month and Gabby's cover was not retouched any more or less than the others.”

“We had 25 cover-worthy subjects in our portfolio and we chose Gabby because of who she is.

“We shot this as a story of exuberant young women changing the world. If you take a look at the portfolio, each of the women were shot in different ways and for different reasons."

Different ways, for different reasons, huh? Question: Why did Elle crop Sidibe from the chest up, while fellow cover girls Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, and Lauren Conrad's actual figures appear in their cover shots. The cropping on Sidibe is somewhat unusual for the magazine, which uses pretty similar crops on all its cover girls, not just these three.
