World Champions

The beard and moustache world championship took place over the weekend.

The winner was an Anchorage native named David Traver, who sported a beard he'd woven to resemble an Alaskan snowshoe.

Paula is weird but kinda cool

PAULA ABDUL HAS GIVEN SCOTT MACINTYRE A GUIDE DOG:


For some reason, PAULA ABDUL has decided to give SCOTT MACINTYRE . . . (--this year's blind "American Idol" finalist) . . . a GUIDE DOG.

Last Friday, Paula sent Scott out on what he thought was a singing engagement. But she actually took him to the headquarters of the Guide Dogs of America in Sylmar, California. When they got there, she told him he was getting a dog.
(--The Guide Dogs of America website says guide dogs cost roughly $38,000)
Scott "test drove" a few guide dogs at the event . . . but he won't be able to get his own dog until after the "Idols Live" tour wraps in September.
(--That's because he needs to have the time to go through training with the dog first.)


(--You can watch Paula springing her surprise on Scott at the link below. The clip also features some exciting bonus footage of Scott actually walking with the dogs.)

Give it a chance to load this website's video player kinda sucks!
