This is my entry for JD'S Great Blog Crossover Challenge II. As some of you already know, I am an Ohio State Buckeye fan who resides in the Heart of Texas among some of the most die hard and passionate fans in this country...Texas Longhorn fans! The College football fan base in general is the most interesting group of sports fans to observe.

Back in April 2006, she was ready to leave London as a failure. Two years out of drama school, she had been rejected by every West End show going. She was earning just £6 an hour in a call centre and having to live on handouts from her mother and her grandmother's pension. It was a terrible comedown for the Girl Most Likely to Succeed.

The previous year's winner, Kelly Price, went on to star with Ewan McGregor in Guys and Dolls. Her tutors predicted a similarly golden future for Fisher. But by 22 she believed she was washed up. As one last throw of the dice, in May last year she joined the queue to audition for the BBC1 reality show How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? Against the odds, she won.

After a long, hard week of walking the show floor at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, The Chronicle's team of tech writers acquired a serious case of sore feet to go with a list of the coolest gizmos and gadgets out there. Featuring thousands of products ranging from giant TVs to tiny cameras, CES lived up to its reputation as the world's largest technology gathering. Here are our picks for best in show: WildCharger pad For years, the tech industry has been working hard to eliminate all the wires that tangle our lives. One of the coolest examples of that effort is a wireless charging pad for cell phones and MP3 players from WildCharge. The idea is that you attach a thin adapter to the back of your cell phone or media device and when you get home, you just drop it on the WildCharger pad.

Paris Hilton's on a Friday night.
The past 365 days have definitely been good to T-Pain.
He started the year riding shotgun with Bow Wow on the teen titan's tear-jerker "Outta My System."

To add to his list of accomplishments, his sophomore album, Epiphany, featured one of the biggest hits of '07 with "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')."
Teddy P. agreed to deliver one last assist before the year is up: The Florida singer gave MTV News the back story to seven of his best collabos of 2007.
