Mariah Carey Has Wardrobe Malfunction on Good Morning America [Video]

She was a train wreck on American Idol.  And, earlier today, Mariah Carey was a bit of a train wreck on Good Morning America.  Well, at least her dress was!  The back of it busted open and Mariah was left trying to figure out a way to prevent another Janet Jackson moment.  This is pretty hilarious and Mariah, believe it or not, was quick on her feet and handled it pretty well.  WATCH!

To The Class of 2013 by Josh Shipp: The Speech All High School Graduates Should Hear [Video]

A classmate of mine vomiting during the ceremony.  That's what I remember most about my high school graduation.  A fellow Daviess County High School senior, who shall remain nameless, was power-puking during graduation because she had gotten hammered shortly before all the pomp and circumstance began.  As soon as I heard the heaving, I was immediately glad that my last name started with a "B" and she was rows and rows back in the latter half of the alphabet!  But, I suppose if motivational speaker Josh Shipp had delivered THIS speech in front of the Daviess County High School Class of '89, I would have remembered it the most.  This is incredible, honest, funny and, most of all, right on the money.  If you know someone in the Class of 2013, someone about to begin their quest to make a mark on the world, make them watch this video!
