Dish-Houston

It's official...sort of....the Coast Guard confirmed the first cases of oil spill tar balls on Texas beaches, and the little balls brought with them cconcern over whether the Deepwater Horizon disaster is going to keep causing different kinds of damage to the Gulf and it's subsequent businesses.

About five gallons of tar balls were discovered on the Bolivar Peninsula northeast of Galveston and another two gallons were found on Galveston Island over the holiday weekend. Some of the tar balls came in at the size of ping pong balls. They have been determined to be BP spill tar balls by testing.

DISH doesn't know about you but we've been dealing with tar on the beaches since we were little and since our parents and grand parents knew how to deal with getting the tar off of our shoes and clothes we will go ahead and assume they dealt with it too when they were young. What we are getting at is tar is nothing new to Texas beaches so we are a little perplexed at why this is such a huge story all of the sudden out of the basic thought that it news is usually slow in the summer so it's time to make up some drama. 

Truth is, no one's exactly sure how the tar balls ended up on the Gulf beaches. There's debate over whether the tar spread by hitching a ride on ships or if the oil residue traveled this far (400 miles plus) on its own.

Regardless, Galveston mayor Joe Jaworski told the Associated Press that he believes the relatively tiny amount of tar bars are more happenstance than happening.

"This is good news," Jaworski said. "The water looks good. We're cautiously optimistic this is an anomaly."

We will keep you posted here at DISH but we highly suggest when you go to the beach this summer...and we do suggest you go...that you take some baby oil with you. It helps with the tan and the removal of tar!

Sandra is our kind of girl. You don't get more than one chance to be a complete idiot in her life and DISH subscribes to that philosophy.

The divorce between Sandra Bullock and Jesse James has been finalized in Austin, Texas.

The former couple signed the documents last week and now Sandy is all clear to complete a single parent adoption.

Congrats!

AKA Chase Craford... All he wanted to do was smoke a joint, listen to Joanna Newsom, and eat some cheetos.

Instead, the actor has been charged with a misdemeanor possession of marijuana for his June 4th arrest after the Plano, Texas fuzz caught him with a joint in his ride!!

If convicted, the baby face boy with the red white and blue eyes could face up to six months in jail!

It's best not to do drugs at all, KIDS!! See how stupid they make you?

OMG! Could it be wedding #2 for Texan Renee Zellweger??

The actress was spotted at the Carolina Herrera boutique in West Hollywood, browsing through a rack of wedding dresses for over TWO HOURS!

She then left with a new purchase hidden in a zipped up garment bag, and apparently played coy when asked about the possibility of marriage!

Sneaky sneaky, Squenty!!! What do you and Bradley Cooper have planned?!

We admit it! DISH is JEALOUS!! He's a pretty boy!

Well we guess if you are going to be dumb you've got to be tough!

Dr Conrad Murray is adamant that he did nothing to contribute to the death of Michael Jackson - so much so, that he refuses to accept a plea bargain!

He says he is "completely confident" that he will be acquitted therefore will not plead guilty to manslaughter or any lesser offense. He does, however, suspect the medical boards in Texas, Nevada and California will go after his license.

We'll see!
