The New Pepsi Next Commercials Are Funny in a Smoking Hot Kind of Way

Leslie Morgan — Thu, 16 May 2013 09:00:10 +0000

About 3 weeks ago, Pepsi released the commercials for the new Pepsi Next. The commercials are a series of videos that star Latin heartthrob William Levy. Remember him on Dancing With the Stars? He didn't win but I enjoyed his ChaCha VERY much! ;-) Almost as much as I enjoy these commercials. Why? Because when you mix hot AND funny...OMG...I need a moment! You will too.

Luke Bryan's 'Just a Sip' Video Takes You to Spring Break On the Beach – Alcohol Included

Leslie Morgan — Sun, 12 May 2013 17:00:53 +0000

Spring Break! Oh, remember those days. I went with my friends to Daytona Beach, Florida. NO parents, NO rules, NO boundaries - just FUN! It was the first time that I ventured THAT far on my own. And I'm going to be honest, I'm surprised we didn't get arrested. It was THAT fun!!!

The video for 'Just a Sip' from Luke Bryan took me back to that uninhibited time in my life with hot guys, ocean, sand, music, bikinis and lots of alcohol. ;-)

Willie Nelson Auditions for 'The Hobbit' on Conan

Leslie Morgan — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 15:45:57 +0000

Willie Nelson turns 80 years old TODAY! One of the things I LOVE about Willie is not only his amazing song writing or his no compromise attitude toward his lifestyle, but his sense of humor. The last time he was in Evansville, I was fortunate to see and hear his dry wit first hand.

Recently on Conan, Willie made an audition tape for the role of Gandalf, in the movie 'The Hobbit' for director Peter Jackson. Although, Willie, I'm sure was doing it tongue in cheek while being poked and prodded by Conan and his writers, I think he is PERFECT for the role!!! Take a look...

Fresh strawberries are one of the best parts of Spring! Finding them can be a little hard unless you know where to look - and we're not talking about the grocery store. You need to head south to the tiny town of Portland, Tennessee, the "Strawberry Capital". Its a great place to take the family on a day trip - especially since this weekend is the start of the annual Portland Strawberry Festival!

Man Gets Arrested for Taking Too Many Free Samples at a Grocery Store

Jon Prell — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 01:00:10 +0000

OK, we've all seen the free sample lady at places like Wal-Mart and other grocery stores. The question is can you take too many, even if they are free? Well, in Minnesota, the answer is a big fat YES! Erwin Lingitz, 68, of Gem Lake, was shopping at Cub Foods and was arrested for taking too much from the lunch meat sample tray.

Jon Prell — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 04:59:47 +0000

On the Tuesday morning show, Leslie and I did a contest around candy bars and we have had numerous Facebook questions about your favorite treats.

Imagine going to the Fall Festival next October and finding a treat that combines two of my favorite things, a Snickers and a sandwich.

Scotty McCreery Helps Fight Hunger With New PSA for 'Peanut Butter & Jam Slam' Food Drive Program

Leslie Morgan — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 09:00:37 +0000

When I met Scotty McCreery, I was surprised to find him to be as genuine as he was on American Idol. I guess I expected him to be a little more full of himself considering all the attention he was getting at the time. But after meeting his family, I knew the reason he was able to stay so grounded. I have a felling that no matter how big he gets, he will always be an awesome and giving person. He proves my theory in a new PSA.

McDonald's in Massachusetts Requiring a College Degree to Be a Cashier

Jon Prell — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 01:00:58 +0000

McDonald's has always been a great place for high school students to work since they first opened their doors. How many kids got their very first job at McDonald's? It was almost like a right of passage for kids under 18. My daughter got her first job there two years ago and is still there. Now it seems you need a college degree.

It's Easter and the Kids Want to Know – Mommy, Where Do Peeps Come From?

Jason Aldean and Coors are a Perfect Match

Leslie Morgan — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 09:00:51 +0000

Jason Aldean is featured in the new Coors commercial. And, if you ask me, the two are the perfect match. In the ad, the country cowboy meets the cowboy of the slopes. Both rugged, strong, fearless and did I mention HOT??? I don’t know about YOU, but I wanted the ad to last a [...]
