They're life-savers, we're tellin' ya

It's been a while since she's garnered publicity about her giant 38KKK rack, and such things apparently cannot be allowed to stand.

Fox 26 is the go-to source for all Sheyla Hershey news, and they broke another biggie this week, and we don't mean a ridiculously large plastic bag of implanted gel.

Hershey gave the station yet another exclusive: She was saved from certain death by her big boobs when she got herself into a car crash after the Super Bowl.

Near the old Days Inn on Travis next to the 59 underpass, the Travis Street Plaza will include housing and support services for homeless and disabled veterans. The location is at the southern edge of Midtown.

Funding comes from the feds and Amegy Bank, the Supportive Housing National Equity Fund, Inc., and the Houston Housing Authority.

Yet another highlight of J.J. Watt's career.

Andre Johnson and J.J. Watt will be there, the HLSR announced today.

"There is no better way to celebrate the kickoff of the Show than to have two of Houston's very own star athletes leading the way," said HLSR president Skip Wagner. "The show and the Texans share a very special relationship, and to have Andre and J.J. start the parade is definitely a testament to that partnership and each organization's devotion to the city."

Johnson grew up in Miami, so we don't know how familiar with rodeo activity he might be. We just hope he doesn't get injured.

Tim Brookover: Eat some spaghetti and help.

He's also fighting cancer at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, and racking up some dismaying bills doing so.

So friends and supporters are throwing a spaghetti-lunch fundraiser for him Sunday at his church, Bethel United Church of Christ, on Shepherd near Washington Avenue.

Who doesn't like spaghetti? Especially when it's for a good cause for a good guy?

"Money raised will be used to help them deal with living costs during this period while Tim is waiting for a decision on his long-term disability application while at the same time he is earning no income," says supporter Burton Bagby-Grose.

Tickets are ten bucks and the event starts at noon. Eat up.

This YouTube video was taken at a Houston Free Thinkers Free Show, and, according to the person who posted it, it's what happened when HPD showed up to investigate a noise complaint.

It appears to show an HPD officer cocking a shotgun of some sort to intimidate the rowdy crowd.

You gotta walk before you run, son.

You stroll over to your new $400,000 Lamborghini and, because that's what Lamborghinis are made for, you make sure everyone appreciates your taste and testosterone.

RIP, the Greenbriar Chateau.

It's a quick trip down the street to the campus and, for at least most of its for-Houston long time in existence, the staff and facilities have been pretty good.

Residents of 4100 Greenbriar are going to have to get up and go, though: Today they received a certified letter from Kaplan Management saying the complex will be razed and replaced with a "state of the art" housing complex.

The apartment dwellers have until March 8 to clear out.

We're sure the rents at the new place will be cheaper, right?

Melaney Linton: New head of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast

Peter J. Durkin has led the organization for 27 often-tumultuous years.

And now, in the midst of yet another high-profile fight, the organization is seeing a changing of the guard.

The Internet has been aflame with discussions of how the Susan G. Komen Foundation has cut funding to Planned Parenthood in a move that pro-choicers see as a slap in the face.

Many have decided to end or reduce their donations to the breast-cancer-fighting group and instead give directly to Planned Parenthood.

TMZ has blessed us with this photo of Lakewood's just-sued Joel Osteen, who obviously has been able to take time from helping the poor and downtrodden to work out a couple of hours a day.

Obviously, it needs a caption. We ask for your help.

Looking for some relief.

The Greater Houston Entertainment Coalition PAC says it wants to work with the city to improve recent changes to the ordinance, changes which many have said hamper clubs and bars from doing business.

"Our goal is to begin constructively working with the City of Houston, the Houston Police Department, and other organizations and stakeholders to address growing concerns regarding our industry, more specifically the recently passed amendments to the noise ordinance" said Stephen Bundrick, a sound engineer who is the group's treasurer.

The group's formation was announced in advance of a a public meeting tomorrow night at 7 p.m. at the EB Cape Center on 4501 Leeland.
