January Jones is an actress; she’s on Mad Men.  She admitted last year to eating her placenta after her baby was born.  Obviously there was a ton of backlash because that sounds like something an insane person would do- but apparently it’s done as a defense against post partum and it’s supposed to help you bounce back more quickly after pregnancy.  It’s not like you just take your delivered placenta (gag) and eat it- It’s taken, dried and put into a pill form.  Apparently it’s all the rage and even Holly Madison who is expecting her baby any day now is doing it.  I tried to call my gyno yesterday to ask her about this- but she had already left at the day… so if you happen to be a doctor that knows about this nonsense, call me in the studio at 18003309999.  More on eating your placenta here.  

 If you haven’t heard about the Harlem Shake- Welcome to the insane world we live in.  Its a random song but it’s the video that you make that goes along with it that makes the whole thing come together.  It starts off with one guy dancing then about 15 seconds into the video it’s bombarded with tons of people in costumes dancing.  So it’s a YouTube sensation- and everybody laughs until yesterday when the Federal Aviation Administration had to get involved.  On Frontier Flight 157, Colorado College’s Ultimate Frisbee team organized all the members of the flight along with their team to do it.  There were banana costumes, fat old guys dancing- it was great.  A spokesperson for Frontier Airline issued a statement saying that all safety measures were met and that the fasten seatbelt sign was off.  I think the real issue here is that Colorado College has a college level ultimate Frisbee team.  That seems fake.  FYI, we did our own Harlem Shake with YouTube guy Keenan Cahill- it’s our Facebook page if you want to check it out. More here. 

 The CW network announced Thursday that 90210 will wrap in May after five seasons. That means it will have half the run of its inspiration, "Beverly Hills, 90210," which aired on Fox from 1990 to 2000. The CW says seven episodes are left to air, with the finale set for 9 p.m. Monday, May 13.  No one has watched that show since Dylan started cheating on Brenda with Kelly a million years ago.  More here.
