6) JSJ’s Crime Beat: Brooke Astor Was a Victim of Elder Abuse
Brooke Astor was American royalty when her husband Vincent Astor left her his fortune under one condition…that she spend it all, and she did just that glamorously!!! Unfortunately the last ten years of her life weren’t so glam as she died under horrible conditions.

2) Must Read – Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet
From Amazon:
Possibly the most graphic treatment of global warming that has yet been published, Six Degrees is what readers of Al Gore’s best-selling An Inconvenient Truth or Ross Gelbspan’s Boiling Point will turn to next. Written by the acclaimed author of High Tide, this highly relevant and compelling book uses accessible journalistic prose to distill what environmental scientists portend about the consequences of human pollution for the next hundred years.

1) Britney’s Breakdown & Blackout
How can we talk about 2007 and NOT talk about the one and only – Ms. Britney Spears? 2007 may have been hell for America’s Sweetheart, but she turned lemons into lemonade when she released her fifth album Blackout – the best album EVER RELEASED.
Skip forward to Britney’s Breakdown & Blackout @47:35
