Question: Is Jay Leno the Brett Favre of Late Night TV? First he’s retiring then he is not….hmmm. Discuss

SCAM ALERT:

If your iPod breaks, you're probably better off just buying a new one. Or cranking up your radio more. Some of those who claim they can fix busted MP3 players are con artists.
That includes 23-year-old NICHOLAS WOODHAMS from Kalamazoo, Michigan. WOOD-TV reports he set up a mail fraud and money laundering scheme back in 2006 that helped him fool nearly 9-thousand people.
Nick would promise to repair your iPod Shuffle, but then used the serial number to get replacements from Apple. He sold those on eBay for $49-dollars each to fuel a luxurious lifestyle, and you were still without your nifty little music player.
A Michigan court accepted Nick's guilty plea this week, then forced him to give up his suburban house, his Audi S-4, and his motorcycle. Nicholas also has to pay Apple back almost $650-thousand dollars for scamming them, and $8-grand to the post office. That's assuming he can make money honestly after he gets out of prison sometime in late 2010.

Pass the Cheese Dip Please
Guadalajara, Mexico finally boasts the world's biggest mariachi band. (Yikes)
549 musicians got together to win the record for the birthplace of mariachi Sunday, playing several songs in just over 10 minutes, closing with favorites Cielito Lindo and Guadalajara.
Stuart Claxton, From the Guinness Book of World Records made it official at the International Mariachi Festival.
The old record belonged to 520 mariachis who performed in San Antonio in 2007.
Record-breaking is all the rage in Mexico.
On Saturday, thousands in Mexico City claimed they put on the largest Thriller dance by people performing simultaneously in one place. The Guinness official at that event said a decision on whether they did will be made in a week.
Mexico also boasted the world's biggest cheesecake and group kiss earlier this year.



Reality TV: Eventually The Death of All of Us

It's a matter of time before this happens in the West, but in Pakistan, a reality TV show contestant drowned while doing a stunt for the show. He was saddled with a 15 pound backpack and told to swim across a lake, and he went under. I bet the producers thought at least for a fleeting moment that this would be great for ratings.

That’s not all though. A contestant in the Bulgarian version of Survivor died of a heart attack in May after an unspecified challenge.
