I will be traveling to Rome, Georgia for most of today to attend the wedding of a really Eric, who is an amazing friend, old college roommate and use to live at the Bumpshack.  He is marrying his sweetheart Jamie and then heading down to the Mayan Rivera for the Honeymoon if his passport arrives in time…tick tock tick tock.

This will be the fourth Bumpshack wedding with the fifth coming the following weekend when Trevor marries Casey.  That will then leave successful songwriter Luke Laird as the lone bachelor from the glory days of the original Bumpshack.

Chris Sligh, who finished in the top 10 on American Idol, is blogging away over on his Blogger blog ‘From My Mind To Your Eyes‘.  A pretty cool read and insight into someone that is new and adjusting to fame.

We had a huge tour meeting and I’m even more excited now about the tour than I was before. Obviously I can’t give you guys specifics quite yet, but know that the tour is going to have some really, really great moments. I can’t wait for everyone to see what Simon, the tour producer, has put together…it really is a freaking great show. And the stage set up is bad to the bone. And this year will feature something that has never been done on the idol tour before. Yes, I’m giving you a teaser. You need to get tickets to this…it is going to be awesome.

Sligh can be a bit strong and sensitive at times but I admire the fact that he doesn’t shy away from his faith in Jesus Christ.  Hopefully he will keep his core as he continues to garner more and more success.  Best of luck to Chris and all of the American Idol finalists.

A Harry Potter theme park is in the works for Univeral’s Islands of Adventure theme park in Orlando, Florida.  It would open late in 2009.

Universal Orlando Resort is opening a Harry Potter theme park that will let fans visit many of the iconic locations in the books and movies that endeared the boy magician to millions.

“The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” is set to open at Universal’s Islands of Adventure theme park in late 2009, complete with the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade village.

“The plans I’ve seen look incredibly exciting, and I don’t think fans of the books or films will be disappointed,” said author J.K. Rowling.

J.K. Rowling, who has been working with a creative team to make sure the park resembles the books and films.

More than a dozen artists lead by Stuart Craig, the production designer of the movies, have set up house in the studio where the movies are being filmed to make sure every detail is considered, said Scott Trowbridge of Universal.

“We’re really going to the people who know this world best to ensure that level of authenticity,” he said.

The park will let visitors view the famed locations in Rowling’s magical world, like Dumbledore’s office in Hogwarts and the shops in Hogsmeade. Some locations may be in upcoming books, Trowbridge said.

I have been blessed to avoid the magical curse of these books to date. I can’t say the same for the BumpWife.  Why else do you think the BumpBoy is named Phoenix?  Just Kidding….he was not named after any Harry Potter magic as far as I know….but it does have me thinking now.

I saw this for the first time last summer during a Hollywood Executive training session.  I found it this morning again and thought some of you might get a good laugh out of it.

Former Chilean Miss Universe Cecilia Bolocco has been caught on camera and video cheating on her husband, the former Argentina president Carlos Menem, with a business man that looks old enough to have served in the United States Civil War although he is actually only 47.

The 76-year-old Menem is trying to regain the presidency and the expose of the affair could actually help him win the election although the odds are very slim.

Menem, who ruled from 1989 to 1999 as leader of the Peronist Party, told reporters Thursday he will run with his newly founded Loyalty and Dignity Party. He has broken with the Peronists, now led by incumbent President Nestor Kirchner.Most opinion polls give Menem, 76, little chance with just around 5 percent of the vote.

Menem recently announced he had separated from his Chilean wife, former Miss Universe Cecilia Bolocco, who caused an uproar when photographs were published of her kissing and sunbathing topless with an Italian friend in Miami. Menem said the separation occurred before the photos appeared.

The You Tube video is in Spanish and the pictures are blurred but you get the idea of who is banging who.

Pretty funny yet sad look at how parents are often worse than their kids when it comes to fitting in and wanting to be like Lindsay Lohan or some other drunk who shouldn’t be a role model.

NFL running back and former USC All-American Reggie Bush is in fact dating and banging porn slut Kim Kardashian.  I had wanted to not believe this for a long time, but it appears Reggie did in deed cave to the attention whore monger.

I have always been a Bush fan, even a USC Trojans football season ticket holder during his last year at SoCal, but this news is very hard to swallow (no pun Kimmie).  Reggie you are a good looking guy with enormous football talent.  You can have almost any woman in the world.  How about selecting one that hasn’t been through the ringer more than that favorite jock strap of yours.

In case you forgot, Kim Karashian is the socialite who sold a sex tape featuring herself and wanna-be rapper Ray J to Vivid Entertainment.  Read more about Kim by clicking here.
