Why did Ocho Cinco head butt Evelyn? And why did VH1 yank the Ev and Ocho show after their fight when all reality relationship shows have fights? Why are folk making a big deal on what Joe Biden says? Why did Al Roker make that throwing under the bus joke indirectly to Matt Lauer?  And why didn’t Matt Lauer show up to work following that joke? Why is Presidential candidate Mitt Romney so secretive about disclosing his tax returns? Why did Tyler Perry’s House of Payne’s series finale end with Miranda wanting a divorce from Calvin? Why did Bobby Brown wait until The Sparkle premiere to go into rehab? And Why is there gonna be a Scary Movie 5?
