Want to find out if you are going to have a boy or girl? Then take a look at this ancient Chinese Birth Chart which claims to predict the sex of your baby
All you need to predict the sex of your baby is the month you conceived your baby and the age you were when you conceived. If the square where these two points meet is blue, then you’ll have a boy and if it’s pink then be ready for a girl…But don’t take it too seriously!
The original Chinese Birth Chart was buried in a tomb near Beijing for 700 years and is now in the Institute of Science in Beijing. Many women throughout history have found that the Chinese Birth Chart predicition has come true. So see for yourself…
Hey there,
Last night went to the Nashville Lifestyles Magazine “Single In The City” party at a place called Sambuca here in Nashville. It was so much fun. Really have to thank Nashville Lifestyles Magazine for asking me to be in the issue. I’m sure they have a lot of pictures and video, I’ll try to share as soon as I see them. One thing I learned. Instead of a “Wingman” take a “WingWoman”. My friend Casey wanted to go so she went with me. If there was someone I wanted to talk to she was like I got this. She walked up and said “Where did you get those earrings?” then moved me into the conversation. Now the drawback is she has my sense of humor and several times when I’d be talking to someone she’d walk up and go “Honey let’s go, the baby keeps kicking”. It was a great time though.
Tragedy has hit a team in charge of facilitating challenges for “The Amazing Race” and other reality shows on the continent of Africa, a source close to the show tells FoxNews.com.
There’s a big, fat problem on the set of “Biggest Loser” — TMZ has learned nearly all of the remaining contestants have walked off the show and are threatening to quit after learning about a secret “twist” that could seriously affect their shot at the $250,000 grand prize.
Multiple sources connected with the show tell us … the mutiny took place this week … when the losers got word that producers were considering bringing back previous contestants to compete for the grand prize.
We have a very scientific chart that will tell you the odds of you having a good hair day.

1. If the car isn’t moving, but the engine’s running, you’re getting 0 miles per gallon. Make all adjustments to mirrors, seat belts, hair, children – whatever – before starting up.
2. Turn off the engine whenever you’ll be sitting for 60 seconds or more, and you’ll save on gas.
3. Properly inflated tires will save money on fuel costs. Buy a decent tire gauge and use it. Also, make sure your tires are properly balanced – another gas-saver.
Snake Eyes (1998) Roger Ebert, of the Chicago Sun-Times, said, “It’s the worst kind of bad film: the kind that gets you all worked up and then lets you down, instead of just being lousy from the first shot.”
Gasoline prices have never been higher this time of the year.
At $3.53 a gallon, prices are already up 25 cents since Jan. 1. And experts say they could reach a record $4.25 a gallon by late April.
“You’re going to see a lot more staycations this year,’’ says Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research. “When the price gets anywhere near $4, you really see people react.’’
Already, W. Howard Coudle, a retired machinist from Crestwood, Mo., has seen his monthly gasoline bill rise to $80 from about $60 in December. The closest service station is selling regular for $3.39 per gallon, the highest he’s ever seen.
“I guess we’re going to have to drive less, consolidate all our errands into one trip,’’ Coudle says. “It’s just oppressive.’’
The surge in gas prices follows an increase in the price of oil.
Salt at the ready, but according to the latest rumors you’re looking at the rear panel of the new third-gen iPad, complete with a larger lens for what’s tipped to be an 8-megapixel iPad 3 camera. The leaked component shows less of a taper to the edges, while the sources revealing it to Taiwanese language Apple Daily also claim that it will have a significant step up in rear camera quality from the current iPad 2.
We haven’t heard much since all the shenanigans of the departure of Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger from X Factor a few weeks ago. We did hear some rumors about Mariah Carey being a possible replacement, but nothing further has come of that goss.. for now. Today we have info that looks as if they might have chosen a new judge.. Miss Janet Jackson! It hasn’t been announced, but Janet was interviewed by Anderson Cooper and during that interview when she was asked about rumors of her joining the show, she stumbled and giggled and basically said that she couldn’t say anything… Oooh could Janet be the new judge to replace Paula or Nicole?

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Carl Edwards fell bitterly short in last season’s bid to win the NASCAR championship.
He’s starting 2012 out front.
Edwards, who lost the championship last season on a tie-breaker to Tony Stewart, won the pole for the season-opening Daytona 500, beating teammate Greg Biffle for the top starting spot during a windy Sunday qualifying session at Daytona International Speedway.
