I do not watch "The Bachelorette". But I work with a couple of guys who do, one of who probably will start stalking Jen Schefft now that she dumped that guy last night. I heard the show was brutal and uncomfortable. But here's what we found out.

Since the final taping, the couple had scheduled three meetings. First one went OK. Second one revealed that dude moved to LA to pursue an acting career, and doing this show was not related to that, so he said, so Jen thought he was a phony. Plus it didn't help that his gallery job was not what it was cracked up to be. By mid-January, they knew it was over and that's why Jen was a bit agitated about the ring thing. Show is now 1-for-6.

Martin Bashir refuses to answer some questions at Jacko's trial. Nice start. I'm sure Jacko will refuse when it is his turn.

An excellent read on music licensing for DVDs. I mean they don't have Billy Joel on "Bosom Buddies" anymore.

The era of the department store seems to be ending. Let's face it, you can shop at home in your jammies.

ESPN's latest Bracketology. Cleveland could be better, but not so bad right now. They have Pitt and Miami...in Tucson? Jeepers, that game might be in the 40's for both teams.
