Jessica Alba gets a bit of enhancement

“I know. They enhanced it a little bit,” she revealed.

“What did they enhance?” Tony had to ask.

“Right there,” she said, pointing to her chest. “They always do it. And in [the poster for] ‘Fantastic Four,’ please – they did it big time!”

But does Jessica have any control over that sort of stuff? More importantly, does it bother her?

“I really don’t think it’s that big a deal. It’s a movie poster,” she admits. “It’s all pretend. It’s all airbrushed.”

But there was no trick photography used during Jessica’s underwater scenes in her new film where she continually shows off her sleek figure. -MSNBC

25 Or 6 To 4

25 Or 6 To 4 by Chicago

-This was written by Robert Lamm, keyboard player and singer for Chicago. It’s about trying to write a song. The lyrics suggest he is having a tough time.

-The title refers to the time of day. It is either 3:35AM (25 to 4) or 3:34AM (26 to 4). We know it is early morning because of the line “Waiting for the break of day.”

-This still gets a lot of play by college pep bands. The horns and tempo make it a great fit for sporting events.

-The band was previously known as Chicago Transit Authority, which was the name of their first album. They shortened their name after the actual Chicago transit authority objected, and began releasing albums with their name followed by a roman numeral (Chicago II, Chicago III, Chicago IV, etc.). They did this throughout their career, even as they morphed from horn-driven rock to adult contemporary ballads (”Hard For Me To Say I’m Sorry,” “Baby What A Big Surprise”) in the ’80s.

-This was the last song they played at concerts. When they toured with Earth, Wind & Fire in 2004, both bands played this as the encore. (thanks, Deek - Livingston, TX)

-There was a rumor that “6 to 4″ was a nickname for LSD, because if you dropped acid at 6 PM, the effects of the drug would wear off by 4 AM, 10 hours later.
