From EW.com:

Survivor’s Jeff Probst has created — and will host — a new reality pilot for CBS… The show, Live Like You’re Dying, will feature a person who has been given a terminal diagnosis with a finite amount of time to live and “take them on the last adventure of their life,” according to Probst.

“It could be playing guitar with Eric Clapton or jumping out of a plane into a volcano,” Probst explained to EW.com. “Whatever it is that you’re still desiring to do in your life — we want to make it happen.”

Viewers hope that at least one person will live the adventure of canceling Survivor.

A surprise twist in an already surprising election, millionaire Thurston Howell, III, has publicly announced his support for Democratic candidate, Barack Obama.

A resident of Newport, Rhode Island and a Harvard graduate, Howell’s support of Obama’s campaign comes as a lethal blow to the McCain camp.

A McCain representative seemed unphased, stating, “It’s probably just because he’s black.”

MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann takes McCain to school re: his hurt feelings over campaign mudslinging.

Olbermann makes Sam Kinison look like Steven Wright.

In last night’s Presidential debate against That One, McCain started off with a trademarked hospital-shout-out — this time to former First Lady Nancy Reagan, who is apparently healing her broken pelvis.

The Maverick just can’t help himself - he has a lot of friends in the hospital. I guess he’s just at that age.

Meanwhile, in the race for Plumberdent, a rising star took center stage.

His lanyard says, “I’m Batman.”

Our favorite L-I-V-I-N actor and his girlfriend welcomed a baby boy, Levi Alves McNayNay, into the world on Monday night.

Sources claim Levi was born fully clothed, prompting Daddy Matt to ask for a paternity test.

Hayden Panettiere has a secret crush on:

• (a) Danny Zuko
• (b) Fonzie
• (c) Squiggy

If you answered (d) Sonny, Putzie and Doody, you were right, and also born to hand jive.

Right out of the gate we’re going with the ol’ dead-person-switcheroo…

Since our last post we’ve privately mourned the passing of Kurt Russell, Kevin Pollack and Harvey Birdman.

So we tried posting on Junkiness for a year. Then we tried not posting on Junkiness for a year. Turns out, we missed it.

The Junkiness within cannot contain itself. We’re not saying it’ll be updated every day, but Junkiness will live on.

So fire up your browsers and get your eyes and asses to Jnay as often as possible.

Thank you,
The Jnay team.

Here lies Junkiness
May 2006 - July 2007

We’re just not here anymore. Junkiness, like so many Aaron Sorkin dramas, has been canceled.

We have our reasons. More importantly, we have lots more free time now. Subsequently, look for the Junkiness book this fall. Contact us to be added to our “Junkiness updates” email list.

Thanks for hanging out.
Sincerely,
The Junkiness Staff

P.S. - Did we mention we’ve got a blog for sale? $75,000 OBO.

She’s back and hotter than ever!!!
