Who Says There's No Drama In NASCAR!!

After a tough couple of months there seems to be no break in the drama for driver Jeremy Mayfield. To catch up... May 9th Mayfield failed a random drug test with a positive result for Methamphetamine. Of course he denies this and sued NASCAR, which is going to trial Sept. 13th. That was just the start of his problems, after hearing about the drug test NASCAR did an investigation, which after talking to his step-mother Lisa Mayfield she signed an affidavit claiming she say Jeremy take meth at least 30 times during 7 years.

That claim made Jeremy really mad and he did a series of interviews saying she was lying about his drug use and accused her of killing his father. Lisa now has a lawsuit against him for slander and defamation of character for $10,000 each count.

And who says there is no drama in NASCAR?

John & Kate Back On

TLC's Reality show, John and Kate Plus 8 will return next monday with new epsiodes, producers say there will be many changes. For instance, they have done away with the couch and now the interviews will be done with seperate chairs. They say you can also expect new first time adventures like Kate trying to set up a tent by herself, and John trying to cook. They also say that there maybe some dating going on too.

Now the hard part... we all need to be surprised by what they do, I mean the news covers more of their lives than the TV show, it seems like we already know what to expect.

Racine Wisconsin making news on TMZ.com website for having an Oscar Mayer Weinermobile crash into a house. It turns out that the driver of the mobile hot dog made a wrong turn down a dead-end street and when trying to turn around accidentally hit the gas instead of brake and shot the sausage into a house. I bet that was an interesting call to the insurance company... "My house was hit by a hot dog... no bologna!! ha ha ha..

Abdul Likely Not To Return To Idol

According to tmz.com is sounds as though Paula Abdul will not be returning for another season of American Idol. Her manager says that A.I. producers have been 'rude and disrespectful' for not offering Paula a new contract. In the past Paula has made a crazy 2.5 million dollars a year with idol (yet nothing close to Ryan Seacrests new contract for $15 million a year). TMZ was also told that is A.I. doesn't offer anything then Abdul will try to start a simular show, lets just hope it's not a trainwreck like her last show "Hey Paula". Drama, drama, drama.
