Your Cheatin' Heart
How can you tell when your lover's cheating on you? If your husband has lipstick on his collar, reeks of a new perfume, or has about 100 “cousins,” who always seem to leave their numbers on cocktail napkins in his pockets, those are pretty good indications. Figuring that everyone knew these classic signs, author Raymond B. Greene came up with a few other ways in which one can get the jump on their unfaithful mate. In his book, Cheaters: 180 Telltale Signs Mates Are Cheating and How to Catch Them, Green discusses how you can tell if your mate is cheating, how to catch them in the act, and what to do after they’ve been busted. Sometimes you actually can tell a lot about a book by its title.

Brad Garrett's Honeymoon
Emmy Award winner, and more importantly, long-time friend of the show, Brad Garrett is stepping out of his role as Robert on Everybody Loves Raymond to play a fellow comedian turned sitcom actor. In the CBS original film, Gleason, Garrett portrays Jackie Gleason, the tortured genius who helped create and star in one of the greatest shows of all time, The Honeymooners. Very few actors possess the physical attributes to portray “the great one,” but Garrett looks so much like the late comedy giant that it’s almost spooky. Gleason premiers Sunday, October 13 on CBS.

True Blue Comedy
Truly one of the funniest and most well respected comics in the nation, Robert Schimmel has appeared on multiple HBO specials and currently has a network sitcom in the works. His act is frank, funny, and usually surrounded by controversy because of it’s blue nature. Though he’s known for his sexually explicit sense of humor, we were still shocked to hear what Schimmel says he would do with the champ for a little extra money.

The Only News You’ll Ever Need
Are you the type that gets tired of the news getting bogged down with boring facts and the need to be truthful? If so, there is only one place to turn. The Onion, an online newspaper, has been referred to as the web’s greatest resource, and this is for good reason. Not since the New York Times has a publication come along that presents fake news in such a realistic way.

"We like to think that there is a little truth in our jest," says staff writer, Tim Harrod. With news stories like "Jesus Returns to the NBA," it is east to see why when news happens, it’s news to them. Though, every so often, an Onion story does creep into mainstream news. Including, Chick McGee's sportscast.

The Onion is now in it's thirteenth year, and has quite a history behind it. "I could tell you the long boring story of how we got started in Madison, WI... but I would rather stick to the pulp history," says Harrod. "It was started by immigrants in 1756, and was originally called the Mercantile Onion."

Look for The Onion, in book stores soon when they release there Ad Nauseam: Complete News Archives featuring loads of material no longer available online or anywhere else. This year's book covers October 1, 2000 - October 1, 2002 and they hope to put out a new volume every year.

Married to Your Mom?
Married To Mommy - A Survival Guide For Married Guys boldly uncovers and explains how nearly every formerly fun-loving girlfriend evolves from a "butterfly bride" into a generally uptight, constantly controlling, perpetually practical... Mommy!

"This is not an Oedipus thing? This is a survival guide on what to do when your wife that has that 'mommy gene.' The women who cut their hair, quit wearing lingerie, and stop having fun," says author Jeff Bakeman.

Filled with dark, edgy humor and hilarious hints and tips, this how-to handbook is a marital manual that guys will turn to for tactics guaranteed to insure their survival. This includes the 11 different types of marital sex, including the dreaded "None." Author Jeff Bakeman’s credits his groundbreaking theorems, tutorials and death-defying marital maneuvers to surviving over two decades in the trenches of "hand to hand" marriage.

"Lets take, for instance, the charity sex," says Bakeman. "Most women will have sex with their husbands if he's had a bad day, or a bad week, so that they keep going back to work. Mommies like guys who work. Once a guy figures this out, they learn to start moaning and groaning after a bad day of work to solicit this type of thing. But they have to remember, before you overuse these guy secrets, mommies never forget."

After Kristi began to argue on the side of married women, Bakeman was quick to clarify that not all women are mommies, but there is a little mommy in all of them.

He's Back for More
When longtime friend of the show, George Lopez was given his own sitcom, strategically titled, George Lopez, he wanted to make sure it wasn't your average cookie-cutter comedy, where all life's problems could be solved in 22 minutes. He's succeeded. His fresh approach to family comedy is just one reason that his show made it off the chopping block last year, while many other debut series were canceled after only a few episodes. George Lopez, now in its sophomore season, airs every Wednesday on ABC.

Unpredictably Funny
Pat Godwin’s spontaneity on stage makes his routine a constant guessing game with a nice mix of standup with a little original music thrown in. And the surprises just don’t stop, because when he does pick up his guitar, you'll have no idea which voice is going to come out. We found that out the last time Pat stopped by.

One on One with Paul McCartney
Former Beatles bassist, and ultra rock legend, Paul McCartney, is in the midst of a huge Back in the US tour performing hits from all throughout his illustrious career. His status as one of music’s all time greatest acts has helped make this tour one of the most coveted and hardest tickets to come by. However, Bob Kevoian not only had tickets to one of McCartney’s most recent shows, he also had the once in a lifetime opportunity to hang out backstage during sound checks followed by the chance to conduct a one on one exclusive interview.

With a mouth full of peanuts, McCartney let Bob in on some exciting news concerning the tour. Turns out, a live CD made from the first leg of his tour is being produced. "We're also going to release a DVD, and television special later in the year."

One reason this tour has been so well received is because McCartney has been using a huge playlist, full of all of his hits. "We play a lot of Beatles songs, but all the ones we play are my songs. I wouldn't sing Strawberry Fields because that is a John song, and you expect to hear John's voice. We had John songs, Ringo songs, my songs and George songs. But I am doing mine."

Bob then proved that he knew just about as much Paul McCartney's life as the man himself did. When Bob asked him about the name of his first band, McCartney had to ask Bob if he was correct in saying, The Quarrymen. "Is that right, the Quarrymen? You know more about my life than I do."

In other good news for Beatles fans, McCartney hinted that the film Let it Be might be hitting store shelves in the near future. Speaking of store shelves, the Back in the US DVD and album hit stores November 26th, and the TV special airs November 27.
