Hey, Boyz II Men are back! Apparently. Although one member of the group left due to scoliosis and two of 'em got fat, apparently. And they're not quite as popular as they used to be, since today's record release was punctuated with a performance on Good Day Philadelphia. According to this press release, they've also taken up the good cause of defending TV talent shows. In other news, their new album is produced by Randy Jackson, judge on American Idol.

If there’s one thing that’s killing me this early afternoon, it’s knowing that of all the days that I didn’t TIVO this morning’s edition of “Good Morning Philadelphia”, it had to be the day that they dropped Jennaphr Frederick in a corn maze somewhere in the wilds of Chester county.

While reporting on-scene, a little action took place over her right shoulder. Dammit! So, so close. Thanks a lot, cameraman.

You may recall, in yesterday's Jill Porter column, she whined about how Clayton Morris and Sue Serio gave away a jacket with bullet holes in it. Because people get murdered in this city, this is apparently offensive -- and Porter went to the DA's office to let them know how offensive it was, too. To give Serio and Morris some credit, they actually made a real apology and not some sort of "I'm sorry some of you were offended" fake apology. Morris even took a page out of the book of Daniel McQuade and called himself an idiot. To avoid offending people in the future, I'd suggest sticking with time-tested non-offensive content, like dancing mascots. The offensive part of the promotion seems to be a bullet-hole ridden jacket for a movie titled Shoot 'Em Up, which seems like a particularly appropriate type of giveaway for a movie with that title. In fact, the Daily News itself seems to owe us an apology, since the DN gave away prize packs for the movie Shoot 'Em Up, which -- from a quick glance at other giveaways from that movie -- appear to be a Playstation 2 with a gun accessory. How dare the Daily News teach young children how to kill with a PS2. They might turn into thugs! The blood of the innocents is on your hands, Daily News. You got me, though: I only really wanted to write about this so I could run a photo of Monica Bellucci.

Sorry, guys, as much as I love that in-depth report and love TV anchors dancing, it's really just not the same without mascots.

Today on Good Day Philadelphia, we were treated to a break-in every little bit for "Diddy Watch," where the anchors commented on how Sean "Puffy" Combs was in Philadelphia today! And he's being interviewed by Power 99! And maybe we'll be talking to him later! Diddy's here to promote, uh, a new album and thank kids for buying Sean John clothes. And GDP did get that interview with Puff Diddy, one that was way more insider than anyone could have expected it to be. People in Good Day's target audience (whatever that is) couldn't have gotten much of what was said. In fact, I bet a few viewers' heads exploded during the discussion of "Diddy High."

First off, I give that show three weeks. Second off, today, on Good Day Philadelphia, the following happened:
First off, awesome. Yesterday, Gross said she was trying to get a job on a View-type show. And, today, she publicly declares it! On her current show! (Okay, only kinda.) Either this is the best coincidence ever, or Jen Fred has some mighty cajones. Second off, I give How You Doin' about three months.

(I wasn't pay attention to what it was called. Shush.) While she was riding it around, Steve Keeley came into the screen and pointed out something... Did you catch what he said? "We had a leopard-striped thong sighting." I'm sure he was joking, but since you wouldn't be able to see it on YouTube anyway, so let's just pretend he wasn't joking. C'mon!

When they began doing Mascot Monday, it seemed like they'd have a few weeks of mascots to dance with, then, well, they'd run out. Touché:
Jennaphr Frederick is off today, so George Mallet and an intern take over the dancing -- with two mascots who may have just been created specifically for Mascot Monday. Our favorite character here is "Caitlin the Intern," though, as, basically, we're hoping she's getting college credit for this.

Seriously. Today's Mascot Monday is all get in, get dancing, get going. No banter, only a short introduction of today's mascot -- a Rita's Water Ice gelati, who becomes the first mascot to appear on Mascot Monday twice (according to my records). Jennaphr Frederick even talks about her weekend during the segment. Consider this old axiom: Mascot Monday is like sex (or pizza). When it's good, it's really good, and when it's bad, it's still pretty good.

It's been a while, hasn't it? Mascot Monday! The key line in today's segment is from Jennaphr Frederick, who says "This is a news-oriented program, and that's why we have Mascot Monday."

Today was the second straight Monday morning without a Mascot Monday at the end of the program, and the viewers, clearly, were outraged. (I got 1500 emails by 11 a.m.)
