Billy Mays was a Druggie? Who Knew?


An official autopsy of the late infomercial actor, Billy Mays, was released today and the results are rather alarming.

While heart disease was still a primary cause of his death, there were also a series of drugs found in his system. Some of these drugs include cocaine, Oxycontin, Valium, and anti-anxiety medications. However, it has been reported that the results show that the drugs were consumed a few days before his death rather than right before his death. Heart disease was still the primary factor in his death, but the drugs definitely could have triggered his death.

Wow. I never saw Billy Mays as being someone to use drugs, especially not cocaine. It just goes to show you that you can't judge a book by it's cover...

Which Former Idol Contestant Found Sucess in Hair Growth Formula?


It's the one and only Matt Rogers from season 3 of American Idol!

There hasn't been much publicity centering around Matt Roger's new job as a hair growth formula salesman, but he has earned himself his own, very long, infomercial.

Next time you're up late and have absolutely nothing to do at say, 1:30 in the morning, try flipping through your channels and you just might find him! Rogers is endorsing a hair growth product known as Bosley.

First he was a football player, then he was an American Idol contestant, Prior to American Idol he was a TV Host, and now this?

Really? It's come down to this?

Maybe he'll end up with a call from Mighty products for a replacement as Billy Mays...they do kind of look alike...
