Please, all of you just keep it down. I can't take any more of this. It's making my temples throb. All I've been getting for the past four days have been e-mails, phone calls, instant messages and even Facebook.com messages listing the reasons Mike Davis must be fired immediately.

Miss IU crowned

"It's food time!" one contestant said, as she simultaneously applied her makeup. "Let's do this."

V-Day wishes
