Buffalo Chicken Dip

Another popular appetizer is Buffalo Chicken Dip, which combines all the flavors. I am a big fan of buffalo and blue cheese, so this dip is right up my alley! It is creamy, spicy and full of flavor. I love that it has chicken in it so it gives the dip a little more substance than just cheese. This dip is perfect served with crackers.

Here are the recipe:

1 package of cream cheese softened, 1 bottle of spicy ranch salad dressing, 1 package of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 rotisserie chicken and 1 cup of Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce.

Spread the cream cheese on the bottom of a baking dish and pour about a quarter bottle of the spicy ranch dressing over the cream cheese and follow with a half cup of Frank's Wing Sauce. Cut the rotisserie chicken in half and shred about a quarter of it and layer in dish, followed by  a half cup of shredded mozzarella. Start all over again with 1 quarter bottle of spicy ranch, a half cup of Frank's, another quarter of the chicken and the shredded mozzarella. Bake at 350 for a half hour. Serve in a warming serving dish.

The warmth of this cheesy dip heightens the flavor of the onion and jalapeno, while the spinach cools it downs. This is best served with a sturdy cracker or pita chip.

I usually serve with corn chips or tortilla chips, but it's great served warm with crackers and celery sticks. It's kinda spicy for some folks, but the delicious flavor keeps'em coming back for more! Buffalo Chicken Dip.

Bill Maher

Earlier in the day, the cast of The Five made a fairly convincing case for caring about Bill Maher tweeting gross things about Tim Tebow and his religion over the weekend. Comedian Bill Maher made fun of football player Tim Tebow. Now some are calling for an HBO boycott. We'll let you know what he said.

After Tebow's Denver Broncos lost to the Bills on Saturday, the 'Real Time with Bill Maher' host tweeted: “Wow, Jesus just f----- #TimTebow bad! And on Xmas Eve!

Tebow has been something of a lightning rod because of his faith, but it was Bill Maher, whose HBO show is in the middle of a three-month hiatus, that seemed to find Tebow's loss amusing.

William "Bill" Maher, Jr. is an American stand-up comedian, television host, social critic, political commentator, author and actor.

Lindsay Lohan Playboy Cover

Lindsay Lohan’s Playboy cover has slipped from its cloak of secrecy. A photo of Lindsay Lohan's Playboy cover surfaced on Wednesday, well ahead of the company's January/February issue release. An image of the alleged January/February issue flooded the Internet Wednesday, a full week before the “Mean Girls” star is scheduled to give a sneak peek on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

The leaked cover shows Lindsay Lohan, 25, straddling the back of a red bunny-shaped chair seemingly stark naked beyond her black stilettos.

According to the Daily Mail, the troubled star is in talks to join the UK show Celebrity Big Brother. When combined with her recent Playboy shoot, they make a rather public attempt at relaunching her career.

A rep for the naughty glossy did not immediately return a call seeking comment, but a spokeswoman earlier said fans had to wait until Dec. 15 to get a preview of the Lindsay Lohan’s Playboy cover and one non-nude image from Lohan’s pictoral.

“The pictorial is absolutely fantastic and very tasteful, and will be accompanied by an interview that will let readers see another side of Lindsay,” the star’s publicist Steve Honig said in a recent statement.

Hugh Hefner, Playboy’s robe-clad mogul, said the layout would have a retro theme.

Sugar Bowl

The Cardinal could end up facing its 2009 Sun Bowl opponent, Oklahoma, if the Sooners win Bedlam. Where is Georgia going to play in a bowl game? Excellent question, and one that's impossible to answer at this point. Now if you couch it to ask, where might. Georgia's only chance to control its bowl destiny slipped away when the Bulldogs blew a halftime lead and allowed LSU to run away with a 42-10 win in Saturday's SEC championship game. Sugar Bowl: Michigan vs. Houston.

Most bowl projections have had Michigan headed to the Sugar Bowl in recent weeks. It does appear the Wolverines will play in a BCS game, but suddenly the Fiesta Bowl is also a possible landing spot.

Going into Saturday, Michigan needed some help to be in a position to land an at-large bid to a BCS bowl game. Thanks to an upset and some blowouts, the Wolverines did get quite a bit of help, but not quite enough to silence all doubt about them ending up in a BCS game. While it certainly looks like Michigan will jump into the top 14 and be one of the at-large teams, there are no guarantees. And even if the Wolverines do make the BCS, right now it's not clear where they would go or who they would play.

As it stands right now, the general consensus among the many bowl projections out there is that Michigan is headed to a BCS game. As has been the case the last few weeks, the most often mentioned destination is the Sugar Bowl, where Michigan was expected to play Houston. Since the Cougars lost on Saturday, there are a few teams that could end up in New Orleans to potentially take on the Wolverines. To say the least, there are a ton of different scenarios out there for Michigan's bowl game, so let's break everything down and take a look at the situation at hand.

Path to the Sugar Bowl
Michigan has been predicted to end up in the Sugar Bowl for weeks based on LSU and Alabama meeting in the BCS National Championship. LSU is for sure going to be in the game and will be ranked No. 1 in the nation, meaning the Sugar Bowl will get the first at-large selection to fill the vacancy created by losing the SEC champion. Normally Alabama would get this spot, but if the Crimson Tide end up playing LSU in the title game, then the Sugar Bowl will have to look elsewhere. This is where Michigan comes in as the most attractive at-large option and becomes one of the teams playing in the Sugar Bowl.

Who will the Wolverines play if this scenario plays out and they end up in the Sugar Bowl? Right now it's not clear. If TCU moves into the top 16 of the final BCS standings and automatically qualifies for an at-large bid, chances are the Horned Frogs would play Michigan. If TCU fails to crack the top 16, however, Michigan could potentially be matched up against Kansas State (at-large bid), Boise State (at-large bid) or even West Virginia (Big East champion). It would come down to which team the Sugar Bowl thinks is the most attractive in terms of the matchup. The consensus seems to be that Kansas State would be selected to play Michigan, but given all that happened with Michigan and West Virginia and Rich Rodriguez, it would not be surprising if the Sugar Bowl went with a Wolverines/Mountaineers matchup.

Prediction

To arrive at a prediction for where Michigan will be playing this upcoming bowl season, some questions need to be answered. For starters, will Michigan crack the top 14 of the BCS standings? If no, pencil Michigan in for the Capital One Bowl. If yes, it's necessary to ask this question: Will Oklahoma State or Alabama play LSU in the BCS National Championship? If you go with the former, Michigan is likely headed to the Fiesta Bowl, whereas the latter likely puts Michigan in the Sugar Bowl.

After sorting through everything, my prediction is that Michigan will take on Stanford in the Fiesta Bowl. I do think Michigan will be ranked in the top 14, and I think Oklahoma State will surprisingly jump up to No. 2 in the nation. This scenario would put Alabama in the Sugar Bowl and open up the door for the Fiesta Bowl to put together a matchup between Michigan and Stanford that features Denard Robinson vs. Andrew Luck and the team that wanted Jim Harbaugh a year ago vs. the team that Jim Harbaugh left a year ago.

Should Alabama make the BCS National Championship, I expect Michigan to be matched up against West Virginia in the Sugar Bowl. I do not think TCU will be in the top 16, and I don't see the Sugar Bowl going with Kansas State as Michigan's opponent. Michigan/West Virginia is the more appealing matchup, as it would almost certainly be dubbed the "Rich Rodriguez Bowl." There are storylines galore with this matchup, and that can't be said about Michigan/Kansas State.

To sum this all up, Michigan seems to be in good shape as far as the BCS is concerned. Where specifically Michigan will end up depends on what happens with the BCS National Championship.
