Two big Celebs are celebrating birthdays today. Our own Aretha Franklin is 72 and Elton John turns 67.

- So hats off to Aretha! Seriously...Aretha...take off the hat!!!

- Aretha no longer wants R-E-S-P-E-C-T, she want L-I-P-I-T-O-R.

- At his age, Elton can only become the "Rocket Man" if he takes Viagra.

After two weeks of searching, Malaysia's Prime Minister says the missing plane plunged into the Indian Ocean. 

- He has no evidence...he's just tired of watching coverage of the search on Malaysia's 24-Hour News Channel, MNN.

Disney will mark the 50th Anniversary of "It's a Small World" by sponsoring a world wide sing-a-long on April 10th.

Former President Jimmy Carter, who admitted he believes the NSA is spying on him, says he uses the regular U.S. Mail to keep the government from knowing his business. 

- It also keeps the person the letter's addressed to from knowing his business since chances are good the mailman will lose the letters.

- A male teacher in California returned from Spring Break as a female undergoing transgender surgery. 

- Look for him in the upcoming "Guys-Becoming-Girls Gone Wild!" video. 

- For the kids' sake, I hope he's not the Sex-Ed teacher.

Have a great day and I'll see you back here on Wednesday!
