The unfunny, big chin, old guy known as Jay Leno has won his Tonight Show back from the hilarious Conan O'Brien. After his long fascinating 7 month run [smh] on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brian, he says one final emotional good-bye.
Dear Internet,
Why is Conan leaving ... LOL
See you on picture box in September.

the OUTER Limits: Death by Crushing Love
First, may the deceased in this story rest in peace. I'm not totally insensitive to the fact that someone did perish as a result of the actions of the defendant in this case, but this story is a major WHOA [in my Joey from Blossom voice].
Remember the childhood nursery rhyme that went a little like this:
Jack Sprat could eat no fat
His wife could eat no lean.
And so between them both, you see
They licked the platter clean
Well Jack in this case was a man who was 5'10 120lbs and his girlfriend is 5'9 350+. The details are sketchy, but basically she sat on him and he died. Wow this woman has to be pushing 450 or more, but I digress.
In the end, she pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter was sentenced to 3 years probation and 100 hours of community service. Needless to say, the family members of the deceased were not happy.
It's hard to not joke about this one, but ummm, yea about that...smh

the Fashion BLOC: Project Runway - "Farm Love"
Challenge: Dress the models in a party dress made from Burlap Potato sack; The Catch: The models are the clients and they get to pick their designer.
Immediately, Emilio is excited to have immunity and I have to say I can't blame him.
Tim checks in early which I suspect its because last week they were ALL struggling. I mean, literally struggling and it looks like its nothing new for this episode. Needless to say, I'm right because yet again, they are twiddling their thumbs at his check-in. I die when Tim says he is flabbergasted by Jay's coolness of all the work he has to do (dye and still sew on the details the model wanted). Im excited to see Ping's creation - It has a modern feel to it at first glance. Amy did a nice dye treatment so far, so I'm excited about her dress too; AND Jesus attempts to make a skirt minus the potato sack material? He is wrapping ribbon over the burlap and not even showing just a hint of it. I hope they roast him since he has decided to go against Tim's suggestion.
Pre-Runway...
Everyone looks frantic at this point, running around like chickens with their heads cut off....Literally, still sewing at the very last minute ...even after Tim comes Mila is still rushing to grab everything.
The Runway...
Judges: Heidi, Kors, Nina, and the legend, Lauren Hutton
My Faves are: Anthony, Ben, Mila, Seth Aaron, and Jonathan.
Amy used the potato sack and took the organic route by dipping it in dye and making it very cute and playful. I actually wanted to wear that burlap. You will never hear me say that again, cherish it :0). Emilio's was cute too, but he concerns me because the dress looked JUST like the first dress -IS THIS ALL HE CAN DO? hmmm....
Mila's peek-a-boo boobs dress pulled out! Which makes me think she only did great because she felt like she had something to prove to Alexis (her model) since she chose Anthony over her...Needless to say, Kors called her dress "edgy and hot".
Ping's was awful. I was extremely disappointed in the final look. I mean, WOW her butt cheeks were out and it was poorly constructed. Pamela dyed her dated dress a faded denim look which was wonderful but it also didn't look appropriate for the event. Jesus got called out for not following the rules (CLEARLY) and besides, green and brown were your color choices? really? My opinion is if you are going to have to face the judges about violating the rule, then make sure the dress is hot, but I digress.

Question of the Day: Is the Super Bowl the Right Place for Anti Anything Ads?
Now as awesome of a story as this may be, do you believe this is the proper venue to share their message? Do you think the TV networks should accept any Anti - anything spots for events such as the Super Bowl?
Now before you say why can't they do this and anti-smoking ads have been running for years during the Super Bowl, I actually do agree with those spots during the Super Bowl either. I think the only anti spots that should run during the Super Bowl are "Drink Responsibly" ads because millions of viewers are doing it right then and there.
Any feedback is welcome and to our feedburner sites such as FB and FeedBurner, come to OURBLOC.com and post your comment.
