Ever since Richie Sambora backed out of Bon Jovi's world tour, JBJ's been hinting that Sambora's personal (ahem, drug) issues are holding him back. He also basically called him replaceable, saying that his absence was "unlike if this were, God forbid, The Edge, and he for some reason couldn’t make a U2 show." (Though, somehow, he's "absolutely" the band's guitar player.)
Well, guess what? Richie has had enough. Speaking publicly about the feud (can we call it that?) for the first time, Sambora tells the Daily Mail, which cares, that in fact, "Jon wants to see if he can pull off stadiums

The conservative Daily Caller reports that N.J. Gov. Chris Christie's ostensible Democratic opponent for re-election, state Sen. Barbara Buono, has been urged to drop out of the race. She's already 30 points down in the polls. Former Gov. Brendan Byrne urged her to get out.
“Buono is way behind,” Byrne said in a teleconference with the Newark Star Ledger. “I was way behind in 1977 and I was thinking, if it gets worse, I’m going to withdraw. It didn’t get worse. As a matter fact, it got better. But at one point I thought of dropping out in favor of a better-positioned candidate. I

Well that's got to be the first time a U.S. governor has ever uttered those words on national television. Also divulged in this interview with NBC's Brian Williams: He got lap-band advice from Rex Ryan and the David Letterman donut-scarfing appearance was his "goodbye" to obesity.

This is not only the best segment ever to appear on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, but the best-ever rendition of "Living On A Prayer." Yeah, including the original. Here's the setup: Jay Leno does a segment where a fake news anchor surprises people pumping gas by appearing on a little TV and talking to them. In the latest edition, fake anchorman offers free gas to a guy if he does Karaoke. And Karaoke he does. Come for the Bon Jovi. Stay for the Eurythmics falsetto.

You know when you're at the cold food bar at Whole Foods and you have to check the labels to make sure your turkey isn't actually tofurkey? Well this week, those labels have been just as confusing as the dishes themselves. 15 Whole Foods stores spread across the Northeast have been mixing up their curried chicken salad and their vegan chicken ("chick'n") curried salad, meaning more than a few loyal vegans may have accidentally eaten their tastiest meal in years. Both items were sold on Tuesday and Wednesday this week before being recalled.
There weren't any mix-ups in the Philly area,
Chris Christie Is So Awesome, He Governs New Jersey From Dreamland

Because he's Chris Christie, Chris Christie on Tuesday had a snarling news conference in which he more or less refused to say much about his lap band surgery beyond what he'd already told the New York Post. Being Chris Christie, he also asserted startling powers of omnipotence—including the ability to receive information, process that information, and give orders while under surgical sedation:
Although Democrats stayed mum, questions surfaced online about whether Christie appropriately handed over power to Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno while he was under anesthesia.
"I was in surgery for a total of 40 minutes, I was asleep for 40 minutes,

It's just one week until Prince Harry visits New Jersey, and everybody there is tired from practicing their curtseys. Second Is The New First, a blog that covers the prince, outlines his schedule for Tuesday May 14:
Prince Harry will visit the Jersey shore town of Mantoloking and then Seaside Heights (best known as locale of MTV's "Jersey Shore," but I don't see Snooki or Pauly D on his agenda) to see post-Sandy rebuilding efforts. He will also meet with emergency service providers. New Jersey mayor Chris Christie has promised to keep an eye on Harry (Daily Beast) and Jersey-native Royal Review is

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie tells the New York Post today that he had stomach surgery to reduce his food intake and lose weight. However, he totally didn't do it because he's thinking about running for president, although, yeah, he's thinking about running for president. “I’ve struggled with this issue for 20 years,” he said. “For me, this is about turning 50 and looking at my children and wanting to be there for them.”
Sources said he'd lost about 40 pounds since the February surgery, trimming down from an estimated 300 to 350 pounds, and consulted with New York Jets Coach Rex

Friday, Chris Christie posted a video of himself killing a spider in front of a classroom of fourth-graders. PETA, upon being notified of the spider's death said Christie "probably did it without thinking. Some people put the spider outside, but spiders are often scary to people, and that can prevent them from pondering their worth." Actually Chris Christie definitely thought about it, which is why he tweeted out footage of the event.
