The USC Song Girls! Three USC cheerleaders have filmed a pilot for a show called Hot Girls in Scary Places. The show features the Song Girls in a haunted abandoned hospital and will air March 13, which happens to be a Friday the 13th. Jason R., of Arlington, Va., sent us even more details about the show.

Help This Guy

Jonathan Haas, of Crown Point, Ind., says "My good friends' wife will not let him go to the Final Four this year! We need as much help as possible talking her into letting him go. We set up a group on Facebook."

Feel-Good Story

Just read this. (Thanks to Kevin, of Portland, Ore., and Nick, of Charlotte, N.C., for the link.)

What If
Kevin Durant

What would today's NCAA Basketball Top 25 look like if players, such as Kevin Durant, who'd be a junior at Texas right now, stayed in school for four year?

Old-School Dickerson

J-Hop, of Medford, Ore., writes "Haven't written in a while J-Train. How is Derek Jeter's wingman? Anyways, ran across vintage Eric Dickerson high school football video. Pretty neat to see him at the high school level. Enjoy."

Random Links

Here's a detailed look at the 2009 Major League Baseball over/under win totals. I'll take the Mariners over 72.5. ... Red Sox Nation is about to spread its reach even more. ... Yesterday, Hot Clicks featured video of the Bucks mascot, Bango, sitting atop the backboard and then getting down by shimmying through the basket. Well, it turns out Bango has caught the Bucks' injury bug because now he's out with an injured knee. (Thanks to John S., and Tim, of Milwaukee, for the link.)

Laura Leigh, Raquel Alessi Updates

Michael B., of Washington, shares some tragic news with us. "I can't believe Laura Leigh getting booted off True Beauty didn't get her any love today." I have nothing but love for Laura Leigh. I just had no idea she was booted from the show. Meanwhile, Matt, of Stillwater, Okla., writes "I'm sure you've gotten an update about who Raquel Alessi is; she played the younger Eva Mendes in Ghost Rider. I wanted to let you know about her new movie Miss March, which looks to be really funny. Here is the trailer, and the best part is at the 1:35 mark."

As The Heel Turns

A couple of days ago, a reader sent in a great heel turn. I meant to also link up the greatest heel turn of all time, but forgot to do so. Of course, Greg, Stockbridge, Ga., Michael, of Gaithersburg, Md., Henry Lokay, of Boulder, Colo., all pointed out my omission.

More Videos From The Office

After featuring a video from The Office yesterday, more came pouring in. Brian Eckstein, of Indianapolis, says "Hey Jimmy, here's another reason to watch The Office, the 'that's what she said' jokes. Here's a link to most of them. My personal favorites are the wet cement at 5:17 and the toy gavel at 5:30." Rob O'Herron, of Southgat, Mich., says, "You cannot have The Office Video of the Day without the best line ever." Jeff, of Franklin, Tenn., says "One good Office clip deserves another. Great Office/Halloween movie trailer spoof."

Watch Out, Snuggie

James L., of Syracuse, N.Y., alerts us to a new product that could rival the Snuggie -- The Cabin Cuddler.

Two New Links On Facebook

For a great piece on self-love movie scenes and booty-ful pics, check out the Hot Clicks Facebook Group.

Sports Video Of The Day

On Monday, Hot Clicks linked to a compilation of great calls by Florida Panthers radio play-by-play man Randy Moller. Tyler, of Pittsburgh, points out that Moller has some competition. He says "Jimmy, I may just be a homer, but I think Mike Lange is the one that deserves to be put up there for his classic, and original, goal calls and not Randy Moller. Mike Lange came up with his own sayings. Moller just used movie quotes and song lyrics. Here is is the best compilation of goal calls."

Soccer Video Of The Day

Check out this amazing 6-year-old from France. And for more child prodigy videos, check out The Angry T.

An Even Better Soccer Video Of The Day

Pete, of New York (but in London at the moment), says "Jimmy, hope the new year is treating you well. In keeping with my promise to provide you and your readers with football (aka, soccer, in the U.S.) updates during my stay on this side of the pond, I'm sending you this link as further proof to why they call football the 'beautiful game' here in England. So, let us not mourn the inevitable loss of Beckham to AC Milan and turn our attention to the game's other stars."

Getting Dressed Video Of The Day

Mihai, of Brussels, Belgium, sends in this clip of a man struggling to put on what he thinks is his shirt.
