Happy 40th Anniversary to Sesame Street! On this day 40 years ago, the first of over 4000 episodes debuted. Not much has changed in 40 years... Big Bird and Oscar the grouch are still played by the same guy, Cookie Monster still loves cookies, and Burt and Ernie are still... you know, "roommates."

What is going on with Women's soccer? First during the New Mexico - BYU playoff game last week,New Mexico's Elizabeth Lambert pulled a member of BYU's team down to the ground by her pony tail -then this weekend a fight broke out at a Rhode Island Girls Soccer game that was so heated it triggered another fight in the stands. Something's gotta be done about all this violence - my suggestion: all the girls kiss and make up.

“Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2” came out today – and is expected to make $500 million in its first week - or roughly how much one day of actual warfare costs.

Modern Warfare 2 is rated "M" - for Mature due to Blood, Drug References, Intense Violence, and Language. It's not be confused with the film rating "Mature" - given to movies with excessive amounts of naked old people.

The woman who wrote all the “Twilight” books, Stephanie Meyer, will do a rare interview on Oprah this Friday. Instead of Oprah's couch, the interview will take place in a tree.
