MEATLOAF WENT CRAZY AT A ROMNEY EVENT THIS WEEKEND…
MEAT LOAF made a bizarre appearance at a MITT ROMNEY campaign event in Ohio last week. It included a meandering "endorsement" of Romney, and a WILD performance of "America the Beautiful". But Meat Loaf may not be able to vote for Romney, because he moved to Texas and isn't registered there. The BEST part came at the end, when Meat Loaf turned a traditional rendition of "America the Beautiful" into a TRAIN WRECK OF AWESOME. He was onstage with Romney . . . singing with country singers BIG & RICH and RANDY OWEN from ALABAMA. Everything was normal at first, and then Meat Loaf suddenly decided to TAKE OVER. He shouted the lyrics, and added some ridiculous runs that drowned out everyone else. Basically, he just went NUTS. Here's Video. Romney's reaction is pretty amusing, too.

 
JOE SIMPSON HAS DIED HIS HAIR BLONDE AND IS DENYING THE GAY RUMORS BUT NOW SOME “MODEL” DUDE IS CLAIMING OTHERWISE…
Last month, JESSICA SIMPSON'S mom, 52-year-old Tina Simpson, filed for divorce from her dad, 54-year-old Joe Simpson. And it looks like now that Joe's single, he's not going to let his age stand in the way of him being a COOL, HIP, SINGLE BRO. On Thursday, paparazzi got photos of Joe walking around in L.A. in a tight yellow sweater, tight black skinny jeans, and, most importantly, a new, short, BLONDE HIGHLIGHTED haircut. Meanwhile, the rumors about Tina and Joe splitting up because Joe's SECRETLY GAY are still rolling. And NOT just because of Joe's new haircut, although it's probably not doing anything to dissuade those rumors. According to Radar Online and the "National Enquirer", a 21-year-old aspiring model named Bryce Chandler Hill is trying to hop on this publicity train by bragging that he had a man-on-man affair with Joe. TMZ.com has photos of Joe's new haircut.)

A 30-year-old part-time professional wrestler in Indiana auctioned off a five-by-two-inch spot on the side of his head . . . and allowed the bidder to decide what would be tattooed there.

STUDY SAYS: THE 7 WORST HALLOWEEN CANDIES FOR YOUR KID
"Women's Day" magazine put together a list of the most unhealthy Halloween candies for kids. All of them are either high in calories, bad for their teeth, or BOTH.
--It's also basically a list of the most DELICIOUS Halloween candies. So it's probably the stuff YOU eat when you pick through the candy they bring home.
#1.) Snickers. The main reason they're bad is the caramel, which gets stuck in their teeth and causes cavities. That's one reason 3 Musketeers are a better choice. Plus, they have fewer calories.
--Skittles also tend to stick to teeth and cause more cavities than other types of candy.
#2.) Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins. One of them has as many calories as two normal Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. One regular cup has 88 calories. One Peanut Butter Pumpkin has 180.
#3.) Candy Corn. It's worse than most other types of candy, because it's nothing but sugar, artificial coloring, and artificial flavors.
--Things like Snickers and Peanut Butter Pumpkins at least have peanuts or peanut butter in them, which means they have SOME protein. But candy corn is just 100% bad for you.
#4.) Tootsie Pops. Actually, ANY kind of lollipop is bad for your kid's teeth, simply because they take so long to eat. Most types of candy only stay in your mouth for a few seconds. But lollipops can take five or ten minutes to finish.
--That can also be a GOOD thing though, because it prevents them from just shoveling candy bar after candy bar into their mouth.
#5.) Starburst. Each piece is about 15 calories, which isn't that bad. But they're loaded with fat and sugar. In fact, ten Starbursts have about the same amount of sugar as five-and-a-half SUGAR PACKETS.
--Plus, just like caramel, they tend to stick to your teeth longer than other types of candy.
#6.) Sour Patch Kids. Again, they stick to your teeth and cause cavities. But they also have high levels of acid in them, which breaks down your enamel and causes even MORE cavities.
#7.) Fun Dip. If you don't remember, it's basically a hard white stick of sugar that you dip into MORE sugar. So it's pretty obvious why it's bad for you. One serving has 50 calories, and sometimes one package has three servings in it.

COULD THOSE STEELERS UNIFORMS BE THE WORST UNIFORMS EVER WORN IN THE NFL?
 
GIANTS WIN! GIANTS WIN!
San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey on Sunday claimed his second World Series title in his brief three-year, belting a two-run jack in the sixth inning to help his club complete a four-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers with a thrilling 4-3 victory in 10 innings. Ryan Theriot led off the Giants’ half of the 1oth with a single, advanced to second on Brandon Crawford’s sacrifice and scored the World Series-clinching run on Marco Scutaro’s looping single.

PEYTON MANNING TOSSED 3 TD’S TO HELP THE BRONCOS BASH THE SAINTS 34-14!

THE COWBOYS-GIANTS NAILBITER ENDED WITH NY ON TOP 29-24…
The New York Giants on Sunday jumped out to a 23-0 lead thanks to three early Dallas Cowboys turnovers (they finished with six) but found themselves trailing 24-23 with about four minute left in the third quarter before pulling out a 29-24 win in the fourth. Lawrence Tynes connected on field goals of 43 and 37 yards in the final quarter but the Cowboys had one last chance to pull out a victory, but failed to do so after an apparent game-winning 37-yard touchdown catch by Dez Bryant with 10 seconds on the clock was overturned after replays showed the fingers on Bryant’s right hand had barely come down out of bounds in the back of the end zone. The Giants now lead the NFC East with a mark of 6-2, while Dallas dropped to 3-4.
