Here’s the one thing this country can agree on, red and blue states alike: we are all sick of the presidential election. I personally never want to hear these buzzwords or phrases ever again:
 Maverick. Caribou Barbie. Pitbull and lipstick. Hockey mom. Joe the Plumber. Reformer. Bridge to Nowhere. Main Street vs. Wall Street.
Enough, right? Let’s just vote already and be done with it. But can you believe that mere days away from the election, some people are still undecided? What more do these undecideds need to know? Was there a real lack of information on where Barack Obama and John McCain stand on the important issues?
I mean, we’ve only had the primaries, the Republican and Democratic conventions, three presidential and one vice-presidential debates, hundreds of commercials, a 30 minute informercial, SNL parodies, The View “Hot Topic” shoutfests, spin room punditry on network and cable news, not to mention the millions of articles and blog posts written about every single piece of minutiae related to the campaign.
So if you’re undecided three days before the election, maybe just don’t vote okay?
As for the rest of America, those people who have taken the time to make an informed decision on arguably the most significant election in their lifetimes–how are they voting?
Well we’ll find out on November 4th of course. The PredictoMobile community, however, strongly favor one candidate: 77% predicted that Barack Obama will be elected President of the United States.

“ABC, easy as 1,2,3…”
 Would a Jackson 5 reunion really be so easy to put together? Oldest Jackson (and father of Jermajesty) Jermaine thinks so. He announced to an Australian newspaper that the Jackson 5 would be reuniting for a world tour.
Well, lets see. Jermaine’s obviously in. Jackie and Marlon–of course. What else do they have to do? Tito could have been a hold out, since he’s enjoying a revival of his popularity as John McCain’s friend Tito the Builder. In the end, I’m sure he’ll join too because the election’s ending in a matter of days, so his schedule will be clear.
Michael Jackson? He might be the lone holdout. After all, he’s an internationally successful solo artist who has sold gazillions of records and owned his own monkey. What does he need his siblings for? Family loyalty? Pshaw. For the benefit of fans? As if. Because he has nothing else going on? Totally.
Will he actually do it? Well, 67% of PredictoMobile users voted that Michael Jackson will not confirm he is reuniting with the Jackson 5 by 11/15.
Personally I’d only want a Jackson 5 reunion if Michael can go back to looking like the cute kid he used to be forty years ago (see the pic above).
UPDATE: Predicto users were right!

Halloween is only a few days away, and Mr. Predicto still doesn’t know what his costume will be yet. The most popular costumes this year are probably going to be Joker from The Dark Knight and of course, Sarah Palin. I’d rather not wear crazy makeup or a beehive, though. What’s a pop culture obsessive to do?
 Maybe I should take a cue from Britney Spears. She’s rumored to be dressing up this year as herself–specifically, the crazy, shaved head version of herself from last year (as pictured left). Apparently, Brit’s regained her sense of humor as well as her sanity, and is supposedly having a big Halloween bash where she’ll parody herself.
It would be awesome if Britney wore a bald cap for Halloween, but will she really? 83% of PredictoMobile users voted that Britney Spears would not dress up as “Shaved Head Britney” for Halloween.
Even if she doesn’t, maybe Mr. Predicto will dress up as the high school version of himself by wearing flannel, Doc Martens, and a surly attitude. It could work…

After like six years in high school, the kids from High School Musical are finally graduating, andnd they’re celebrating the momentous occasion by jumping from cable TV to the big screen.
 I’m obviously not the target audience for this movie (the Internet barely existed when Miss Predicto was in high school, if that gives you any indication) but after watching the trailer for HSM 3, the movie seems watchable enough, with its synchronized dancing in school hallways, car junkyards, basketball games and of course, senior prom.
But will moviegoers flock to see it on opening weekend? The Predicto Mobile community sure thinks so. 74% believe that High School Musical 3 will earn more than $60 million in its box office debut. Time will tell if Zac Efron’s Footloose remake will make as much money. (Yes, that is actually happening. Think Kevin Bacon will be first in line?)
Feeling footloose and fancy free? Well, head on over to Predicto.com and see what else the PredictoMobile users are voting on right now!

Okay, so Jen Aniston’s rep has already denied the rumors with a press release that’s equivalent to someone rolling their eyes. But PR flacks are not always the most forthcoming about what’s really going on in their clients’ lives. Our friend Madonna had her rep denying the divorce rumors earlier this summer, and we all know what happened there.
 So let’s speculate about the Maniston (Animay? JenniJohn?) pregnancy. Could this be the reason these two seem to have reconciled after splitting up a few months ago? After all, Jen was pretty peeved that John talked to TMZ about the breakup. Here’s a more cynical theory: she is plain sick and tired of Angelina Jolie.
Angie’s been in the media a lot recently promoting a new movie. This has meant releasing adorable Brad-snapped pictures of her cavorting with her kids, not to mention the “stunning” admission that she and Brad fell in love while filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith, despite the fact that he was still married to Jen at the time. This led to the blogosphere erupting into a war between Team Aniston and Team Jolie. (The basic arguments? Jen is boring and Angelina’s a homewrecker.)
Anyway, perhaps Jennifer was tired of all the attention her ex-husband and his family was getting, and decided to change the narrative of “Poor single desparate Jen” that the tabloids love so much. Now she’s “Shiny happy preggers Jen!”
A lot of PredictoMobile users think the same thing–54% are voting that Jennifer Aniston will announce she is pregnant with John Mayer’s child before 12/20.

Miss Predicto has a confesssion: he really didn’t want the Red Sox to go to the World Series. It’s nothing personal. I’d just rather see two teams like the Tampa Bay Rays and the Philadelphia Phillies get a turn at the top prize. Because let’s face it: once the Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years and finally escaped The Curse of the Bambino, who cares about them anymore?
 Now the Phillies versus Rays seem like a very interesting matchup since both won their respective divisions. Here’s some eye-raising info you might know about them:
The Rays didn’t even exist until 10 years ago. But here’s the crazy thing. They had the worst record in the league in the 2007-2008 season, so they were 200-to-1 longshots to even reach the World Series this season!
The Phillies have been around a lot longer than the Rays, which has given them an unfortunate record:  they’ve lost the most games of any team in MLB history. No, really. Talk about a major chip on your shoulder. At least they’ve won a championship before…all the way back in 1980. Not quite as legendary as the Red Sox’s losing streak, but still pretty sucktastic.
So who’s going to win? I’d bet on the Rays, but 54% of PredictoMobile users think the Phillies will win the World Series.

Who’s been getting busy under Rihanna’s umbrella-ella-ella lately? (Yes, it’s an old joke. But Miss Predicto is tired-ired-ired.) No, not Chris Brown–the two R&B stars never went public with their relationship, and as of late haven’t even been seen with each other that much.
 Enter Kanye West! Star Magazine is one of many gossip sites reporting that the two were spotted kissing while backstage at a T.I. concert a few weeks ago. Once she realized that people were watching them, she beat a hasty retreat out of there. Hmm…seems like Rihanna has moved onto a new fella. Ella, ella.
PredicoMobile users seem to think they’re dating– 53% predict that Rihanna and Kanye will confirm they are romantically involved by 11/15.
Where does that leave Chris Brown? He has a new video out called “Superhuman,” which I guess he’ll need to be if his girlfriend really is hooking up with a guy way more famous than he is.

So John McCain finally found time between campaigning and saving the U.S. economy to stop by the Late Show with David Letterman. Do you think he regrets that decision? Letterman spent a lot of the time asking McCain the kind of questions you would usually see on Meet the Press, not a show that routinely drops tennis balls and watermelons from its rooftop.
 In any case, 66% of Predicto Mobile users predicted that McCain would show up and try to save face with Dave. Now let’s see if his running mate Sarah Palin will show up on SNL sometime soon. Think she’ll bring her flute?

Last week, Miss Predicto saw Madonna in concert. During the show she shouted, “this song goes out to anyone with intimacy issues.” And I remember thinking, “is that an odd shout out to her husband?”
 Well, they don’t call me Miss Predicto for nothing, because Madonna and Guy Ritchie have announced they’re getting a divorce. By the way, she’s taken to dedicating that same song on her tour to “anybody who knows someone who is emotionally retarded.”
Maybe Madonna needs to be with someone more similar to her? Like someone who believes in Kabbalah, makes a ridiculous amount of money in a high-profile job, and is also recently divorced?
If you’re thinking baseball superstar Alex Rodriguez, so is Madonna. Gossip tabloids are already linking the two together, so it’s not surprising that 63% of PredictoMobile users voted that Madonna will officially start dating A-Rod before December.
If you’re eager for more details about the Material Girl’s love life, take a look at her “Ex-Files” at E! Online. (Apparently she once dated JFK Jr. and Sandra Bernhard. Really.)
