You get home after a long day of work, you plop down on the couch and flip on the TV hoping to watch that movie you rented a few weeks ago and haven't had the time to enjoy yet. And suddenly you realize that your rental is overdue.

If you rented your video from a bricks and mortar store, you just have to pay a late fee when you return the disc. But if you rented from an online store, your movie (and your money) is just gone. Vudu is the first company I'm aware of that's done something to address this issue. This week the company announced that it would allow customers to extend their rentals for a discounted fee.

Here's how it works. If you rent a film, you have 30 days to watch it. If you don't watch during that time, you have up to a week to extend the rental period for another 30 days. You'll get $2 off the rental price of a HD video and $1 off the price of standard definition films.

And while you typically have to finish watching a movie within 24 hours of hitting the play button, you can pay the same extra price to extend your viewing time to 48 hours. Honestly, I have no idea why you have to finish the film within 24 hours anyway, let alone why you should have to pay more to watch the same movie the next day. But it's better than nothing. I think.

The Associated Press interviewed Bret Michaels about his hit reality dating show Rock of Love. Fans of Rock of Love may be disappointed to hear that while Bret thinks Ambre is a great girl, she's probably not the one. In the interview, he says of Ambre: "[She's] really nice and cool and gets rock 'n' roll." However, it's clear he doesn't think he's going to fall head over heels in love on a reality show. Now, I love Ambre and she's certainly a better pick than that basket case Daisy. But, if Bret still hasn't found love, you know what that means? ROCK OF LOVE 3!

Like most of you, I have trouble getting through my day knowing I'll never have hair like Jessica Simpson. I've yet to come to terms with this, so most of my day is spent sobbing and pounding the floor screaming, "Why can't I have such gorgeous locks of blonde hair shimmering like spun gold in the moonlight? I would be the loveliest debutante at the ball, and all the rugged suitors would wish to dance with me and only me!" Then I put on eyeshadow and eat a box of Hostess Sno-Balls. It's a character flaw, admittedly, I'm trying to work through it.

Anyway, it turns out I'm not the only one pining for Jessica's locks. She plans to launch her own line of hair extensions this summer. You can get hair that matches her blonde locks, or if you'd rather have hair like her sister Ashlee, you can do that, too. In fact, there's "a rainbow of colors and styles" according to one source. The new line is called "Jessica Hair Extensions" and was created along with her hairstylist, Ken Paves.

Yikes. I thought Paris "The Sure Thing" Bennett could do no wrong as an American Idol contestant. Then she had this done to herself. Check out her bio page over at FOX's American Idol webpage. Paris is the only one of 24 contestants who has gone through a radical makeover since we saw her this week in Hollywood. And it's not good. Too. Much. Hair.

What do you think of Paris' new look?
