AMERICA IS NOT SO HOT ON OBAMA THESE DAYS…
According to a new Washington Post/ABC News survey released yesterday, the majority of Americans disapprove of the way President Obama is handling the economy. The poll found that 50 percent of those surveyed strongly disapprove of the president’s economic performance – a record high. And amid rising gas prices, which have gained 49 cents a gallon this year to an average $3.79, 65 percent said they found Obama’s handling of the issue unsatisfactory. The president also didn’t do too well in other areas. Sixty-three percent of Americans gave him negative marks on the country's budget deficit, while just 16 percent strongly approved of his work in that area, and 48 percent disapproved of the White House’s energy policy.

INSTEAD OF SHAKING HANDS, SOME DOUCHE B-BALL COACH WENT MIKE TYSON ON THE OTHER COACH!
Police in Springfield, Massachusetts arrested the assistant coach of a youth basketball team after he went Mike Tyson on the coach of the other team, biting off part of his ear, instead of shaking his hand. 34-year-old Timothy Lee Forbes was identified by authorities yesterday and he pleaded not guilty. He'll have a dangerousness hearing on Friday in which he'll attempt to seek bail. The incident occurred during a Catholic Youth Organization game between teams of fifth- and sixth-graders last Friday. Forbes is facing charges that include mayhem and assault and battery.

 
A SODA A DAY…CAN PUT YOU AT RISK FOR A HEART ATTACK?
There's bad news for men who like soda. A new study suggests that men who drink soda or other sugar-filled drinks greatly increase their risk of suffering a heart attack. The study included nearly 50,000 men and tracked their diet over 22 years. Men who drank just one 12-ounce sugar-sweetened soda had a 20 percent higher risk of heart attack. Dr. Walter Willett, a co-author of the study, says that a 12-ounce soda contains about 10 teaspoons of sugar. He adds, "Continually subjecting our bodies to high amounts of glucose, to high blood sugar levels that trigger large secretions of insulin results in stresses that in the long run show up as high risk of heart disease and diabetes."

YET ANOTHER LAWMAKER IS NOW TRYING TO LIMIT GUYS USE OF THE LITTLE BLUE PILL!
The battle of the sexes continues to be fought in the statehouse, as a third female lawmaker has introduced a bill to limit men's access to Viagra in the wake of the dozens of anti-abortion bills that have been passed around the country. The woman behind the latest bill is Democratic Ohio Senator Nina Turner, who is opposed to proposed legislation that would make abortions illegal after a fetal heartbeat is detected, which can occur as early as the sixth week of pregnancy. To fight back, Turner introduced a bill that would require men trying to get Viagra to get "tested for heart problems, receive counseling about possible side effects and receive information about 'pursuing celibacy as a viable lifestyle choice.'"

 
WHERE’S THE BEEF AMERICA?
Where’s the beef in Americans’ diets?  According to the USDA, we’re eating less meat these days- and that decline is expected to continue.  More than a third of U.S. households ate less meat and poultry last year, for both health and financial reasons.  Instead, Americans are choosing vegetarian protein sources like tofu, lentils, beans, soy, nuts and eggs, as well as fish.  And an increasing number of veggie-friendly options are popping up on menus at restaurants around the country.  Some credit the Meatless Monday movement, backed by celebs like Oprah and Gwyneth Paltrow, which encourages families to have one day of meat-free meals per week. 
 
WE’VE HEARD OF PIT FIGHTS AT ROCK SHOWS, BUT AT THE SYMPHONY??
Brawls at concerts happen all the time - though not usually at classical music concerts! Two decidedly un-classy audience members got into a fight last week at a Chicago performance of Brahms’ Symphony No.2 in D Major. The argument, between two men in the music hall’s box seats, got physical toward the end of the second movement. Police said a man in his 60s was struck several times by a younger man. The discord was apparently over seats and the younger man fled by the time police arrived. Through all of this, the conductor, uh, never missed a beat, so to speak. He was able to bring the concert to a graceful close. Hopefully witnesses will be instrumental in bringing the younger man down.
 
FORECLOSURE: SO EASY A 14 YEAR OLD CAN DO IT?
These tenants can accuse their landlord of being childish and they’d be totally right! That’s because their landlord is a 14-year-old girl! Willow Tufano of Florida bought a two-bedroom concrete block home for $12,000, and now rents it out to a young couple for $700 a month. Tufano was able to earn half the cash by selling items on Craigslist from foreclosed properties her real estate agent mother was selling. Her mom put in the rest of the money for the home, which had been way reduced in price after its former owners could not afford to pay the mortgage and it was repossessed by the bank. Tufano says she plans to repay her mom for the other half of the house by the time she’s 18 and then she’ll move in. For someone so young, she’s certainly got her house in order!
 
DOES YOUR CHICK MAKE A LOT OF LOUD NOISES DURING SEX? IT’S NOT GOOD NEWS
Hate to burst your bubble, guys -- but if your girl is making a lot of noise in the sack, there's a pretty good chance she's faking it. British researchers surveyed 71 women between the ages of 18 and 48 and found...
87 percent moan to help out their man's confidence.
66 percent make noise because they want their guy to, um, get there faster.
Women also make noise if they are "bored, tired or uncomfortable." Doh.

IF YOU’RE GONNA STEAL A JUDGE’S NAMEPLATE FROM THE COURTHOUSE, DON’T POST IT ON FB, JUST SAYIN’
A dopey Coral Springs, Floridian isn't as a-door-able as he thought he was, as he found out when cops busted him for posing on Facebook -- holding a nameplate he'd swiped off the office door of a circuit court judge. Steven Mulhall was in court to make a probation appearance on a previous charge when he saw the brass plate and couldn't resist. He might've gotten away with the theft had he not immediately posted a smirking photo on the social network. Judge Michael Orlando said, "The nameplate is like only $40, not that big of a crime, but what an idiot. He puts it on Facebook. He violated the terms of his parole by stealing, from a judge he appeared before, no less. He's got multiple convictions for petty theft, so now this is a felony."
 
MARCH MADNESS, MEANS LOSS OF SLEEP AND SLACKING AT WORK!
Selection Sunday is in the books and now for the next three weeks, sports fans and non-sports fans that are just trying to win a few bucks in their office pools will be clutching onto their brackets like it's a bible. There's no doubt about it, almost everyone gets caught up in March Madness. A new survey shows that 33 percent of adults will watch at least one of the games. 48 percent of men will tune in -- compared to 20 percent of women. The biggest side effect of March Madness is of course a drop in production at the workplace. 40 percent of employed people will follow the tournament while at work.

NBA ROUNDUP: DERRICK ROSE & CO. HAND LINSANITY IT’S 6TH STRAIGHT LOSS
The NBA’s best team, the Chicago Bulls, led by the league’s MVP, Derrick Rose, beat the New York Knicks 104-99 last night in the Windy City, sending the Big Apple squad to its sixth straight defeat. Rose scored 32 points and at times made defender Jeremy Lin look like he was lost. Lin finished with 15 but again struggled with his shot, ending the night shooting just 4 of 11 from the floor. In other games; the Boston Celtics clipped the Los Angeles Clippers 94-85; Tony Parker poured in 31 in the San Antonio Spurs’ 112-97 victory over the Washington Wizards; and the Minnesota Timberwolves outgunned the Phoenix Suns 127-124.

KIM K. RESPONDS TO JON HAMM CALLING HER A BLEEPING IDIOT…
Kim Kardashian is taking the high road in response to Jon Hamm. In Britain's Elle magazine, the Mad Men star called Kim and Paris Hilton bleeping "idiots." Kardashian replied yesterday via Twitter: "I just heard about the comment Jon Hamm made about me in an interview. I respect Jon, and I am a firm believer that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that not everyone takes the same path in life. We're all working hard and we all have to respect one another. Calling someone who runs their own businesses, is a part of a successful TV show, produces, writes, designs and creates, 'stupid,' is in my opinion careless." Hamm's full comment was: "Whether it's Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a [bleeping] idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you're rewarded significantly."
 
ELLEN, DREW BREES AND MORE STARS JUMP ON BOARD TO SUPPORT THE BULLY DOC…
Ellen DeGeneres, Demi Lovato and NFL star Drew Brees are joining the fight to get the MPAA to change the R rating given to the upcoming documentary Bully. A Michigan high school student named Katy Butler, herself a victim of bullying, began a petition to change the rating so as many kids could see the film as possible, and more than 280,000 people have already signed it. The petition has also been officially supported by 20 members of Congress. DeGeneres had Butler in the audience of her show last week and told her viewers, “it’s an important movie for everyone to see, especially kids.” Lovato joined the cause by tweeting, “please help repeal the R rating on Bully. EVERYONE should be able to see it. Sign the petition.”  Lovato, who last year revealed that she had been bullied for being “fat,” also used her Twitter page to speak out against cyber-bullies. “It really surprises me the hateful things people say on the internet,” she wrote. “You must have had something really terrible happen to your childhood and you’re really sick in the head. Must suck to be born without a heart.”
