Daily Update 06/12/2007
Hello and welcome to my page
I am planning on posting daily things that I find interesting on the internet. I hope you enjoy these items as much as I do. Most topics posted on this page will be completely random. Just various stories and news tidbits I have discovered today.

For many Americans, spam is a four-letter word for unwanted e-mail. In Hawaii, Spam is a beloved comfort food, with cans of the gelatinous pork bricks found in virtually every cupboard.
Hoping to cash in on Hawaii's love affair with the pinkish meat product, Burger King Corp. last month began offering Spam for breakfast — going head-to-head with rival McDonald's Corp., which has been featuring Spam in the islands for years.
Burger King is offering the Spam Platter — two slices of Spam nestled between white rice and scrambled eggs. The fast-food giant also offers the Croissanwich or Biscuit Sandwich with Spam.
Denise Yamauchi, Burger King managing director in Hawaii, said sales have been "very good and very promising."
"It's so popular with the locals, we wanted to cater to them," she said.
Putting Spam on the menu, alongside more traditional items such as the Whopper, has been in the works for about a year, and Burger King's corporate headquarters finally signed off on the idea.
"It's something that was a little unique and a little different for them, so it was a bit of a hard sell to bring to Hawaii," Yamauchi said. "But they finally realized it is a unique flavor and something the locals really like."
At a Burger King near downtown Honolulu, where a poster in the window proudly advertises "Spam in the A.M.," the Spam Platter was selling for $3.49. The nearly identical Spam, Eggs and Rice plate across the street at McDonald's was $3.39.
Melanie Okazaki, marketing manager for McDonald's Restaurants of Hawaii, said Spam has been offered at the chain's 75 island restaurants since 2002.
"In Hawaii, it is a very popular menu item and we will continue to offer it to our customers," she said.
Burger King's latest offering is counter to the chain's push to offer healthier fare, including salads and the meatless BK Veggie Burger. But no one can deny Hawaii's appetite for Spam.
Despite being one of the least-populated states, Hawaii leads the nation in consumption of the Hormel Foods Corp. product. It's been a hit ever since World War II. Isle residents consume more than 5 million pounds of Spam a year, an average of about six cans for every man, woman and child.
Spam "musubi" — a slice of Spam atop a block of rice and wrapped in seaweed — is an island favorite sold at nearly every convenience store, including 7-Eleven. Spam fried rice is a local classic.
There are also more varieties of Spam sold in Hawaii than anywhere else. There's Spam Garlic, Spam Bacon, Spam with Cheese, Spam with Tabasco, Spam Turkey and Spam Lite, which featured less sodium and less fat.
"We're pleased to see more and more restaurants adding it to their menu, providing Hawaiians additional opportunities to experience the savory, salty-sweet taste they love," said Dan Goldman, Spam's product manager.

Paris Hilton's daddy might have something special up his sleeve for when his incarcerated princess skedaddles out of the slammer in a few weeks.
Rick Hilton is trying to set up a "Get Out of Jail" bash for Paris, reports Page Six, and has already approached some big Las Vegas clubs, like Pure, the Hard Rock Hotel, and the Palms, none of which have signed on yet. And with Paris going back in the clink for a few more weeks, the plans are on hold. (Paris' rep didn't comment to the Post.) But according to sources, the party, if and when it happens, could cost more than $50,000.
And in case you missed it yesterday ... TMZ told you that Paris is suffering from ADD and claustrophobia, and is taking Adderall to treat the symptoms. Her super-lawyer Richard Hutton told us that she's "doing as well as she can" and that she's getting "excellent medical care."
Whoopi – The New Rosie?
Will "The View" be making Whoopi ... Rosie's replacement next summer? Star (the magazine, not Jones) seems to think so. "As far as everyone at ABC is concerned, she has the job," according to a "network insider." The mag says that Babwa and crew have been talking to Kathy Griffin, Roseanne Barr, Ricki Lake, and Gayle King, but that Whoopi "has won everyone over." What's more, she's "liberal and outspoken but not crazy like Rosie." And just to add insult to injury as far as Rosie goes (the two are friends), Whoopi's getting the year-to-year deal that Rosie wanted.
'Sopranos' Creator to Fans -- Take That Ending and Shove It
"Sopranos" creator David Chase doesn't see what all the fuss is -- about the ending to the mob drama. He tells the Star-Ledger of New Jersey that he has "no interest in explaining, defending, reinterpreting, or adding to what is there," concerning the final scene, which had fans aghast with its ambiguity and abruptness, going to black for five full seconds after building up. "We did what we thought we had to do," says Chase, and he definitely didn't design the ending to work into a possible movie. The cast, meanwhile, at a viewing party for the show, said that they didn't know which ending would end up being used, but didn't comment on it beyond that.
Party Favors: Naomi Provides Unassailable Proof That She's a Cold-Hearted Bitch ... Travolta Gets Heat from Gays Over "Hairspray" ... Vanessa Keeps Bongo Deal ... Lukas Rossi Strums It at REVOLUTION
Naomi Campbell's road to the cover of W magazine was easy street, she says, according to Gatecrasher. "All I had to do was scrub some floors and hit my maid," she was overheard saying. ... Gay leaders are calling for a boycott of "Hairspray" because, they say, star John Travolta's religion -- Scientology -- rejects gays and lesbians as members, and according to MSNBC, "operates reparative therapy clinics to 'cure' homosexuality." ... Vanessa Minnillo will continue to be the face of Bongo jeans even after those sketchy knife-play pics with Lindsay Lohan. ... We're told that Canadian rocker Lukas Rossi -- "Rock Star: Supernova" winner -- did an acoustic set at The Beatles REVOLUTION Lounge at the Mirage in Las Vegas over the weekend.

Fans of NBC’s Poker After Dark have a reason to smile, as three new matches make their debut in June on this popular show. Ten more episodes were filmed at the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas in early May, and this week’s show is the first of these never-before-seen exclusive matches. Once again, each episode will feature six of the best poker players in the world engaged in a $120,000 winner-take-all freezeout.
The new series of matches kicks off in dramatic fashion with “Champions Week,” and like last season, features six players who have each won the World Series of Poker Main Event. Returning to the felt to participate in this clash of poker titans are Doyle Brunson (1976-1977), Jamie Gold (2006), and Johnny Chan (1987-1988). Chan bested Brunson, Gold, Chris Ferguson (2000), Chris Moneymaker (2003), and Carlos Mortensen (2001) in winning this match during PAD’s first season.
But Chan will also have to contend with three new formidable opponents in addition to Brunson and Gold in an attempt to defend his title.

This will be our first look at both Raymer and Hachem on Poker After Dark, as neither participated in any of the previously aired matches.
This turned out to be an extraordinary battle and lasted more than 175 hands, a long match given the structure employed. Fans will especially enjoy the epic heads-up battle for the title, which comprises the entire final episode and gives viewers a great look into what goes through the minds of two of the champions as they attempt to eliminate one another and lay claim to the title.
The match will begin airing late night Monday on NBC at 2:05 AM, June 11, and will continue for five consecutive nights in the same time slot. The “Director’s Cut” will air late night Saturday, June 16, at 1:00 AM, right after Saturday Night Live.
