It's Mardi Gras!! Mardi Gras-- literally "Fat Tuesday,"-- has grown in popularity in recent years as a raucous, sometimes hedonistic event. But its roots lie in the Christian calendar, as the "last hurrah" before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. There. You learned something today. You can thank me later.

It's an "American Idol" first -- some of the Top 24 members will be officially revealed early. According to the FOX, some of the Top 24 semifinalists will be revealed in a special two-hour event airing tonight on FOX. During tonight's episode, the remaining contestants will take the stage to perform their final solo numbers in front of Simon, Ellen, Kara and Randy. Following these performances, the judges will deliberate and will announce some of the Top 24 semifinalists. Then on Wednesday the judges will reveal the remaining contestants who will round out the Top 24. Does that mean the Chairs of Doom will start to air tonight? Or some of the contestants will be allowed to bypass the Chairs of Doom and go directly to the Top 24? Time will tell!=

It seems like each year there is a new campaign to get you to stop messing up your brain with drugs. We can poke fun at the sometimes humorous ads, but according to the CDC, drug use over the decades is down...so they're working. As drug usage drops, ads are becoming more direct, more violent, and more dramatic. In the advertiser's defense, they are catering to a less receptive audience as time goes on. Take a look at the evolution of these ads over the decades.
