The GOP presidential candidate trails Democrat Barack Obama in polls, organization and money while trying to succeed a deeply unpopular fellow Republican in a year that favors Democrats. McCain also doesn't seem to have a coherent message let alone much of a strategy despite securing the nomination three months earlier than Obama.

The honeymoon may be over, but Nick Cannon is enjoying the married life even more.

Although his wife Mariah Carey wasn't in Las Vegas with him, the "Wild 'N Out" host said his marriage to the singer is anything but rocky, despite Internet reports to the contrary.

At the opening of Las Vegas's Christian Audigier The Nightclub Friday, Cannon said his marriage is "amazing."

"It's the best thing that ever happened to me," Cannon, who was sporting his wedding band, told PEOPLE.

Arriving just before midnight, Cannon quickly made his way to the club's turntables where he began a two-hour set, spinning hip-hop, techno and rock.

At one point, he put on Shawty Lo's "Dey Know." Bobbing his head to the song, Cannon raised his hand high in the air and shouted the lyrics "Big ups, to all my haters."

Carey and Cannon met on the set of her video "Bye Bye," and after a whirlwind courtship tied the knot in May.

I've been carving some stamps lately, just here and there as it's a nice craft to do while watching TV. Although there are some setbacks to watching TV while doing crafts! I've found it has to be a show that you're not all that interested in, otherwise I end up watching more than I end up crafting!

Here are some of the things I've produced:

A smiling Britney Spears celebrated the Fourth of July with friends on a private boat in Marina Del Rey, CA over the weekend.

The pop star looked calm, cool and relaxed when photogs caught up to her as she puffed on cigarette after cigarette while engaging in a light-hearted conversation.

Meanwhile, comeback rumours are swirling again, but this time it’s in the form of a Madonna-collaborated video.

The Material Girl hitmaker is rumoured to be hooking up with Miss Spears in New York City tomorrow to record a video, which will be broadcast on big screens during her upcoming Sticky and Sweet tour.

What’s more? Madge has even invited Brit-Brit to join her onstage at some of her world tour dates.

A source tells The Sun, “They are recording a video together on Sunday that will provide the backdrop for part of Madonna’s show. And they are talking about Britney taking the stage on a few of the dates too. It’s hoped that Madonna can help Britney get back to her old self.”

Good luck, Madge. Miracles can happen!

Before she was kidnapped, Ingrid Betancourt was widely viewed here as a spoiled, arrogant, if well-meaning, politician. But the courage, loyalty and defiance she displayed during six years as a rebel hostage has turned her into the toast of Colombia and much of the world.

Jazmine Sullivan’s “Need You Bad” Video


Need U Bad (feat. Missy Elliott) - Jazmine Sullivan

Twenty one year old Philly native Jazmine Sullivan has been on the scene for a little while now and thanks to her “Need You Bad” single (one of my faves of the moment by the way) folks are starting to take notice.  It’s produced by Missy and you can check the brand new video.  Her sound brings me back to those fab mid 90’s Lauryn Hill days .  Oh how I miss thee….

You can check out more about Jazmine and more of her songs over at her myspace page. Loves it.

I've been listening to this song all night.

Everyone's favorite soapy gay boys kissed two more times on Thursday. Here's a clip for those who didn't see.

We had an amazing Fourth of July!...

My family along with Reggie's family spent the day at Reggie's house. We laid out by the pool, swam and cooked all day! My mom brought the dessert and Kylie baked a cake that looked like an American flag! Rob, Reggie and Reggie's brother played Rock Band all day! It was so funny to watch them play! Reggie played guitar, his brother played the drums and Rob sang!

Bruce and Reggie's dad barbecued and at the end of the day EVERYONE got thrown in the pool!!!

Khloe and Reggie started it by throwing my mom in! Then Reggie threw Rob in and broke his cell phone! Then Reggie threw Khloe in! Then Khloe threw me in! She dropped me on the way to the pool but I still couldn't escape not being thrown in!!!

Just another typical holiday with the Kardashians and the Bushes. ;)

For those of you that celebrated the 4th of July, how was it? Mine was pretty bad. It rained all day.
