NO ENGLISH, NO CHEESESTEAK!
One of Philadelphia's most popular cheesesteak joints says you'd better speak English if you want one of their sandwiches. Joseph Vento, owener of Geno's Steaks, is staking a stand against illegal immigrants at his restaurant. He has signs posted that say, "This is America. When Ordering Speak English." He says his grandparents came over from Italy and learned the language, so should everyopne else. Besides, he runs a fast-paced business and no one has the time to translate for those who don't feel like learning the language of the land. Vento says he's not out to hurt anyone. His English-only policy intends to help customers. Gotta say, I'm with Vento on this one.
NOT SO SWEET-IN
Gone are the days of Mr. Bear. Everyone's favorite Full House star and former meth addict Jodie Sweetin has signed on to host a stripping reality show on FUSE. Pants-Off Dance-Off will feature everyday people, stripping down while dancing to popular music videos. Contestants of all shapes and sizes will compete for cash prizes.
QUICK HITS
- Miss Pee Wee's Playhouse? Repeats of the show return on the Cartoon Network this July.
- Tried watching Game Show Marathon on CBS. Wanted it to be good. It was terrible. No one cares about C-list celebrities trying to make money for charity in poorly done remakes of classic game shows.
- Meredith Viera left The View Friday for the Today show in September.DE After much media hype, we all survived 6/6/06.
SONG... Kiley Dean - "Who I Am"
QUOTE... "[I don't] need to do any more kid movies. The word kid makes you feel like a child. Someone I dated called me kid all the time. I hated it. I've been through more than some people have in lifetimes." - Lindsay Lohan
