Last but not least, The Ex starring Zach Braff and Amanda Peet wasn't a favorite of Cecily's, she gave it a D.

Survivor-Alex was the most recent person voted off Survivor and he gets to be a part of the jury. The finale is Sunday, tonight's episode is on CBS at 8:00.

Joey Bartolomeo-The US Weekly senior writer called in this morning with this week's hot celebrity stories, in case you missed them:

Cover-Ricki Lake: Half My Size! (she's wearing a bathing suit on the cover) she's now a size 4, 123 pounds (was once 250 pounds) she eats a 1,200-1,400 calorie diet

Lindsay Lohan's Cocaine Scandal, those close to her say she's running with the wrong crowd and doesn't have a support system

Paris Hilton: What life would be like in jail, bologna sandwiches, bunk beds in a 12' x 8' cell, one hot meal per day, 6 a.m. wake up, 10:30 p.m. lights out, it's likely she'd be let out early for good behavior, she would have to get her hair extensions removed. And on May 11, Nicole Richie's attorney (same as Paris') will meet with the Glendale, CA district attorney about Richie's own DUI -- which could land her in jail, too

Brad and Angelina: Problems in Prague, photographers in Prague (where she's shooting a film) have been relentless -- she freaked out because one took pictures of her kids through an open window while they were taking a bath. Also, Why she's so thin (she's been sick and stressed, says a friend)

Spring Cleaning List -- Message to Hollywood, it's time to get rid of...Jessica Simpson: her entire wardrobe Angelina Jolie: her black clothes Nicolas Cage: Wacky hairdo's Nicole Richie's excuses for being thin (her latest: hypoglycemia)

TV's Hot Finales scoop on Desperate Housewives, CSI, Brothers & Sisters, ER, Heroes, The Office, Grey's Anatomy, Lost, House, and Ugly Betty.

You can pick up the latest edition of US Weekly on news stands tomorrow.

Rosie as Bob Barker??? There's talks of Rosie wanting to host The Price Is Right. I'm sorry, my own personal opinion, but I say "NO WAY!" You need someone a little more calm, professional, and laid back. Not that Rosie isn't a great entertainer, but I can't see her saying "Come On Down!"

Battle-THE MEN WIN AGAIN, the score is women 56, men 34.

Michael York-The amazing actor is starring in Camelot coming to the Carr Performing Arts Center. What a great voice he has and I love him in Austin Powers. I know, of all the brilliant projects he's down, I pick Austin Powers. You can get tickets by going to www.broadwayacrossamerica.com

American Idol-Here's my take, it's down to the final four contestants, let them sing what they want! Not one of the 4 contestants is old enough to be alive back in the Bee Gee's era. Let them pick their song and let them shine, don't force them into a genre of music and then scold them for not doing well. With that said, we all agreed it wasn't a great night overall, but Lakisha and Blake are on the hot seat.

$25 Pyramid-Scott played again and $25 rolls over to tomorrow making it worth $50.

Dr. Keith Ablow-He's everywhere these days and he's been a regular on our show. He has a new book called "Living the Truth" and you can get it at www.amazon.com

On this day in history:

1945-WWII Ended

1975-President Ford formally declared and end to the Vietnam Era

1998-Country star Eddie Rabbitt passed away

Birthdays:

Eagle Eye Cherry-38

Peter Reckell-52

Battle of the Sexes-The women won, the score is now 56-32, the ladies are spanking us!

Ticked Off-Here's my gripe...HOW HARD IS IT TO READ! If you get a job at a fast food restaurant and you can not read or follow simple instructions, you should be fired immediately! I would say that 90% of the time I go through a drive-thru, they do not get the order right. And it's not like I'm ordering anything crazy or special, READ THE TICKET, IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! What other job in the world can you be wrong 90% of the time and still keep your job, it drives me crazy!

We talked about parents wanting to be more of their kids best-friend instead of the respected adult in the family. My personal feeling, you can earn your kids respect while still being friendly and playful with your kids. The last thing you want to do is to lose respect and become more of a "pal" to your kids than mom or dad. Erica had a story where parents are going on interviews with their kids that are 25 years old, give me a break! Parents, you are not helping here!

Nelson-Matthew and Gunnar Nelson came into the studio and performed a few songs for us. Great guys, very talented musicians, and always willing to get up early to come see us. Their website is www.thenelsonbrothers.com and you can see them through Thursday at Epcot for the Flower and Garden Festival.
