Good
morning to you, today is Monday, January 09, 2012, and I am your humble host,
the sultan of sarcasm, the purveyor of non-pertinent information, the guru of
gossip and we are coming to you recorded from the Eagle’s nest here at wake up
central and you are watching the Monday edition of The Morning Wake Up Call.
Christmas Gift – Huffington Post
Sarah
Burge, the woman known as the "Human Barbie," gave her daughter Poppy
a bizarre stocking stuffer this Christmas: a liposuction voucher worth about
$11,000. The 7-year-old was reportedly excited about the gift, and
mom is confident the money will be well spent one day in the future. In an interview
with the British tabloid Closer,
Burge disclosed her thoughts about what some are calling an inappropriate gift
for a young girl. "She asks for
surgery all the time. She wants to look good and liposuction is one of those
procedures that will always come in handy," Burge told the magazine. But the liposuction voucher isn't the first
cosmetic surgery gift certificate Poppy's received from her mother. Last year, the self-proclaimed little
"diva" received a voucher for breast augmentation, which she can
redeem at age 18, if she so chooses.
"I think it's great because you can change yourself if you're not happy,"
Poppy said in a video interview that aired on daytime talk show "The
Doctors."
Oops, I have a knife – Huffington Post
Jack Persyn, 13, was in chess club
before class when he discovered a short knife in the bag he brought to school,
which had been purchased at a yard sale, station WXIA reports.
After telling the Lanier Middle School
teacher that he accidentally brought the weapon to class, the station reports
he received 4 days of in-school suspension, a punishment his father, Bill
Persyn, says is overkill.
"There was never a safety
issue," Persyn told WXIA. "No harm was done. It was a genuine honest
mistake, yet he got pulled out of class for four days. I can see a one hour
detention if they had to do something, but this is nonsensical."
Yearbook Photo – Fox News
A Colorado high school senior says she was the subject of
censorship after her peers on the yearbook staff decided her photo was
inappropriate to use as her senior portrait, Fox 31 Denver reports.
Durango High School student Sydney Spies, 18, submitted a photo of
herself wearing a short yellow skirt and a black blouse that exposes her
shoulders and midriff.
The four yearbook staff members say the clothing Spies is wearing
in the photo violates the school dress code,

Royal Birthday – Fox News
LONDON – The former Kate Middleton turns
30 on Monday -- but royal fans expecting a lavish birthday bash to mark the
milestone will be disappointed.
Palace officials say the Duchess of Cambridge's birthday
celebration will be a "low-key and private" affair, appearing to
quash press reports that she will see off her 20s with a fun '80s themed party,
complete with karaoke, in a throwback to her more carefree bachelorette days.
The choice of a muted event seems appropriate: After all, the
duchess is not just starting the fourth decade of her life -- she is also
embarking on her career as a future queen, charged with renovating a monarchy
that has become somewhat creaky with age.
"She's done very well, playing a very good supporting role
to Prince William and
complementing him as part of a team," commentator Robert Jobson said of
her first few months as a royal.
