MORNING UPDATE, August 2, 2012

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! 

Now both China and us have 30 medals each, and we are only 4 golds short of their record - come on, come on, come on! More Star Spangled Banner!!! R-Patz is #1 on the trending list: he is hiding out at Reese Weatherspoon's place - now he is in his Water for Elephants role. Selena Gomez's hair is trending on #4 - well, hair is very important...have no idea why Selena's new bangs are producing so much excitement though...Some kind of tree-hugger couple from Colorado bought land in Costa Rica and created a thriving tree house village - please, please, please!! all the enviro wacos to follow suit forthwith!! And, apparently, winning Olympic gold brings with it a huge tax bill - confirming an old adage that nothing is certain aside from death and taxes. And Lady Gaga falls to only #3 of most liked celebrities on FB - I guess we need more meat dresses.
