Tampa Bay Traffic: Just to add to the confusion of the I-275 construction project, another exit ramp has closed - exit 41A loop ramp onto southbound Dale Mabry. That means you'll have to use exit 41B, which has always been known as the northbound Dale Mabry exit. There'll now be two left turn lanes at the bottom of that exit ramp so you can turn onto southbound Dale Mabry. Click here for more on this.

Faster Screenings at TIA? Federal security officers are testing a new screening program at TIA called "Managed Inclusion". It selects passengers based on their behavior and allows them use a special lane to quickly get through security. The program has been quietly tested at TIA since November.

Wicked is Back: Popular? Yes! It was last here in 2010, but it's finally back at the Straz Center for 3 weeks. This is by far my favorite musical, EVER. I think I have seen it 3 times (once on Broadway), and I will be seeing it again during it's run at the Straz Center. Click here for ticket info and show times.

Here is a clip from the musical when the original Broadway cast performed on the Tony Awards 6 years ago.

On TV Tonight: The 39th Annual People's Choice Awards at 9:00 on CBS. Kaley Cuoco (Penny, The Big Bang Theory) hosts, plus Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys and Jason Aldean perform.

Get to Know This Name: Katherine Webb. She is the beauty queen (the reigning Miss Alabama, to be exact) girlfriend of the University of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron. Yes, he just won his 2nd BCS National Championship, but all anyone is talking about is his girlfriend and the questionable comments made by the BCS announcer, Brent Musburger, on ESPN.

Now, ESPN has apologized for his comments and it's stirring up quite a controversy. Katherine started out on Monday with less than 250 Twitter followers. Once she was shown during the game in the stands, her Twitter-verse blew up. It even surprised her boyfriend when he was told about it in the locker room after the game. At last check, @_KatherineWebb has over 221,000 Twitter followers!

Now, what I find interesting is that apparenlty AJ and Katherine have been dating for less than a month. I just wonder if all this hype about her will make A.J. jealous. Kind of get that feeling in the video clip above, and that was before all of the extra media coverage.


Katherine appeared on the TODAY Show this morning to discuss all the attention and how she felt about the comments made about her during the BCS Championship game.
