He want that cake cake cake cake....
On March 6th, Oreo cookies will celebrating their 100th year. To mark the occasion, Nabisco has debuted a limited edition Oreo flavor: Birthday Cake Oreos. The cookies look like standard Oreos, except the white frosting has flecks of rainbow sprinkles inside (think Funfetti).
Birthday cake Oreos started rolling out nationally last week, and will likely be on shelves for about six to eight weeks.
Death by Burger
A man actually suffered a heart attack while dining at Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas. The unnamed man was eating a Triple Bypass burger at the time of his cardiac arrest - he is reportedly alive and recuperating.
The incident comes just one year after the death of the Heart Attack Grill's 575-pound, 29-year-old spokesman. Also - if you weigh over 350 pounds, you eat for free...not kidding.
Errbody in the Krem gettin' tipsy
The Russian government has launched its own brand of vodka, to be served at official events. The new vodka, titled Kremlin Award, was presented at the ProdExpo 2012 exhibit in Moscow on Tuesday.
The vodka is already being served at official events, a government spokesperson told RIA Novosti and The New York Post reports that one online retailer was already selling the government booze for at the reasonable cost of 792 rubles (about $26).
Russians' average vodka consumption? A staggering 18 liters per person a year, according to official data.
Kinda sounds like shooting fish in a barrel.

Your Boy Be Back
“Your boy be back for the upcoming season,” Moss revealed...That is, if anybody wants him :(
I love Randy and I am sure a few teams are willing to kick the tires, but I don't think a big payday is in the cards for this 35 year-old with an attitude problem - I hope I'm wrong. Wishing you straight cash, homie!

Bow wow wow yippie yo yippie yay
Martha Stewart's chow-chow, Ghenghis Khan, took the Best in Breed ribbon at the Westminster Dog Show this morning.
I didn't know until yesterday that Martha was into show dogs, but I'm not surprised she's doing it better than anyone else.
Even if Ghengis hadn't taken the prize, he still would have been the fanciest dog at the show. He and Martha dined at the Plaza on Sunday :)
Food for Thought
White tablecloths, fine silverware and intricately-plated dishes made (whenever possible) from locally-sourced ingredients....and its staffed by convicts?
Clink restaurant, which Wales Today reports will soon open in Cardiff, Wales, will be unlike almost any other restaurant in the world. The 100-seat restaurant will be located in a prison, and it will be staffed mostly by convicts.
Openning in the Category-B correctional facility HMP Cardiff, the restaurant will be the second outpost of the Clink concept. The first opened in 2009 at HMP High Down, a prison in Sutton, England and was the subject of a documentary ("The Prison Restaurant") on the BBC.
Both Clinks are headed by chef Al Crisci, who has been campaigning for better food in British prisons for years. The goal of Clink is to provide convicts with the skills they need to find jobs once they leave prison.
According to an early review of the Sutton branch in the Independent, the food, service and decor are all exemplary.
Special Delivery!
You Be Killin Em
CONGRATS to Adele, who scored a Grammy award in all six categories she was nominated for including Pop Vocal Album, Best Pop Solo Vocal Performance, Short Form Music Video, Record Of The Year, and Song Of The Year.
Adele made her live performance comeback on Sunday night as she had recently undergone throat surgery...yea, she killed it.
Did I mention she is on the cover of the March issue of Vogue?

Beamer, Benz or Bentley
BMW's M division has lifted the veil on its all-new M6 coupe and convertible...these cars are mean.
The four-seat performance coupe and convertible both reach a top speed limited to 155 mph; but if you have the need for speed, BMW's M division will also offer an optional driver's package that includes an altered engine management system that increases top speed to 190 mph. Zooooom!
The M6 convertible is planned hit the U.S. as a 2012 model in June for $109,025. It will be followed by the M6 coupe in September, which will retail for around $103,000 as a 2013 model.
