Today, President Obama said he's seen the book of secrets referred to in the movie"National Treasure: Book of Secrets" during a White House interview with talk radio show host Michael Smerconish.

The book is supposed to contain documents collected by presidents, covering controversial topics such as the JFK assassination, Watergate, and Area 51.

Obama joked, "I would tell you but I'd have to kill you," when asked about the secrets in the book.

So, let's play a game: What conspiracies secrets do you think are in THE BOOK?

I'm thinking "Cigarette Smoking Man" has to be in there.

Here are random pictures of celebrities I found interesting/sad/funny today:

While it looks like my dream dinner party come to life, this is just Good Charlotte making a video. Apparently they're a band of some kind (via A Socialite's Life)

A sign proclaiming the best happy hour in town? Where at, you might ask. This was spotted recently at ... wait for it ... ready? ... just one more ellipses ... Public House.

Funny or Die has labeled this the literal version of Beck's "Loser," but upon watching it, I think it might just be the original lyrics. Really, who can tell?

Here are more literal versions of songs for your listening/viewing pleasure:

Under the Bridge
Take on Me
Total Eclipse of the Heart
Head Over Heels
White Wedding

Before Rademacher became the hipster heroes of Fresno, bands such as Pinkeye and Montecore were the ones heading bills at Tokyo Garden.

It'll be like a Fresno indie rock high school reunion tonight at Audie's Olympic, as Greenladies headline. They're a Portland-band that includes ex-Fresnans Mike Burnett and Scott Moore, both of whom played in Montecore.

To make things even more six-degrees-of-Fresno-indie-rock-ish: Niilo Smeds (who is on the bill with his current project Wheels of Fortune) used to play in Pinkeye and Rademacher, as well as in The Batteries with Burnett.

Further, I'm estimating that half the people at the show tonight probably played in Rademacher at some point.

Presumably in celebration of finally landing a legitimate acting role, Lindsay Lohan went and Jessica Simpson-ed her lips, leaving her looking like the sexiest 47-year old duck in Los Angeles.

On the plus side, she now has a place to hang clothes when her arms get tired:

KLUM.JPG "Project Runway: Season Six" 10 p.m. Lifetime: Finally. The new season of the reality show gets to strut its stuff after legal battles kept this season on the shelf for eight months. The fight was over the switch from being on Bravo to the new home on Lifetime. Now, it is back to work on "Project Runway" as supermodel Heidi Klum hosts 16 designers who are battling for the top prize. Mentor Tim Gunn, judges Michael Kors and Nina Garcia, will be joined by special guest judges throughout the season. Lindsay Lohan is the first celeb to get to judge the designers.
