Horseplay

"The Mustangs of Las Colinas" is believed to be the largest horse scuplture in the world and consists of nine wild horses in bronze running across a granite stream at Williams Square Plaza in Irving, Texas... Something to see when visiting the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.

The Year in Celebrity

Sorry, Babs!

San Diego radio friends Berger & Prescott weighed in on the "most fascinating" people of the year.

The truth isn't pretty...

Mike and Jeff checked over the list Barbara Walters came up with for 2009.

The verdict: 2 thumbs down.

People offered more and different selections on their yearly list...

Topped by singer/Kanye West mugging victim Taylor Swift.

"Swift shares year-end 'honors' with PEOPLE's pick of the most unforgettable entertainers, scene-makers and headline-generators of 2009: Hollywood's fabulous philanthropists Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie; Mo'Nique; Barack and Michelle Obama; Sandra Bullock; Neil Patrick Harris; governor gone rogue Sarah Palin; kidnap survivor Jaycee Dugard; Rihanna & more."

Blech!
