MINI-SATURDAY UPDATE...

So I was a dope and forgot to email myself all of my material before I came to work today. So, you get what little I can scrape together for now, and a FULL update tomorrow.

Here's a fun site for ya...
http://www.sketchysantas.com/





JT IS #1...IN CHARITY
A website called The Daily Beast set out to determine which celebrity has the most impact...in terms of dollars raised...for his or her pet charity. And they found that celebrity to be...JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE.

What they did was take the biggest the celebrities and look at the charity each of those celebs is most associated with.

Then they calculated how much awareness each celebrity brings to his or her pet cause in print, on TV and online. They also factored in personal donations to the charity from each celebrity.

Explaining exactly how they calculated all of this would bore you, quite frankly. So let's skip all that and get right to the dollar amounts.

#1.) JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, Shriner's Hospital for Children, $9.3 million

#2.) MADONNA, Raising Malawi, $5.5 million

#3.) PAMELA ANDERSON, PETA, $4.8 million

#4.) OPRAH WINFREY, Oprah's Angel Network, $3.9 million

#5.) BONO, ONE Foundation, $3.6 million

#6.) ANGELINA JOLIE, UNHCR, $3 million (That's the U.N.'s refugee agency.)

#7.) RIHANNA, UNICEF, $2.3 million

#8.) GEORGE CLOONEY, United Nations, $2.2 million

#9.) SALMA HAYEK, UNICEF, $1.6 million

#10.) SHAKIRA, UNICEF, $1.3 million

Lessons learned today: #1.) Charity is good. #2.) UNICEF is where all the MINXES go!!!








CHANGES TO LATE-NIGHT TV??...
A PopEater.com columnist claims that unnamed "TV executives" told him that NBC is looking to replace CONAN O'BRIEN on "The Tonight Show"...and that the first name on their wish list is JERRY SEINFELD. (Naturally.)

Reps for both Conan and NBC have denied the report. Sure, they'd like to have Jerry...who wouldn't...but this isn't happening. The "Tonight Show" HAS sunk pretty low in the ratings, though. You have to wonder if they're exploring their options.







RIHANNA'S NEW VID...
RIHANNA has released a video for her song "Hard". There's no obvious references to CHRIS BROWN, but it does feature Rihanna as a sexy, scantily-clad soldier. You can watch it, here...
http://www.rihannanow.com/news/2009/12/179/







THE 2000's...IN 7 MINUTES....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfhTPaqKEAE








THE STATUS....
So this is new...a little insight into my life, via Facebook. Every weekend, I'll show ya some of my facebook status updates and their replies by friends.

Last Sunday, I said...
I wonder what being P. Diddy feels like. How would I know if what I felt when I woke up in the morning...was a P. Diddy-type feeling? Yeah. Ponder that.
Chris says: What if she said "wake up in the morning feelin like Jenna Jameson"? WIN

Jeannette says: I'd rather feel like Jenna Jameson....

Mary adds: I ponder this sometimes when I wake up... I've yet to wake up feeling like a rich, handsome, rapper man so I'll probably never know the feeling. *sad panda*



Thursday...Were there ever times you sat there for a minute or two, trying to come up with something good to put in your facebook status? This is one of those times. And this is the crap you're left with. Pathetic, basically.

Virgil says: I resort to posting lyrics when that happens to me
Rachel says: Laame-o.Maybe if you were cooler you'd have better stuff to say Rob. :)
Love you too, Rachel :-p


We also had this gem: And we all like to see tig ol' bitties!

Well hey, I went with the lyrics!





So that should about do it! A full slate of updates tomorrow! Lastly, a guy that's been on the radio in this area for a long time stepped away from the mic yesterday. I grew up listening to him and also had the chance to work with him for a few years. Matt, best of luck to you my friend!
With that said, perhaps friends or family of yours could be looking for a new radio station over the coming weeks and months. Be sure to send them to Q92!

Thank YOU for listening and reading, enjoy your weekend! Snooooowwwwww!!!

WEEKEND-NESS

Does it seem closer to the holidays to you than it ACTUALLY is? Maybe wishful thinking on my part. Some folks need all the time they can get around the holidays...can't wait for that time off. For me, it means more time at work, as I'll be covering for some vacations here, doing some fun stuff behind the scenes, and will be on the air as well. Do what you love and work becomes play. I'm a perfect example of it!

BROWNS WIN the other night? At home, over the Pissburgh Squeelers?! Hell froze over! An early Christmas gift indeed...how SWEET IT WAS!

Here's some stuff for ya....








MILEY DEBAUCHERY...
The wheels WILL fall off for Miss Miley Cyrus. Just a matter of time. She's got herself a new tattoo now. Miley's tattoo has her feeling a little older than she is. TMZ says that she and her posse tried to get into an over-21 club called LIV in Miami Beach last Wednesday. She was turned away at the door.
Miley's rep denies this. See my Thursday update below about how she MAY quit making pop music. WOO!







KELLY SWEETNESS
Kelly Clarkson is apparently quite the tipper. At a hotel she stayed in in Seattle recently, she tipped $100 at the bar, and $100 to room service!









WHATTA PAIR...
JESSICA SIMPSON has a new crush: BILLY CORGAN of SMASHING PUMPKINS. (!?!?) They met at a party last month, and ended up spending much of the night in conversation.
A so-called "source" says, quote, "She has completely fallen for Billy and his easygoing, smart attitude. She says she wants to take things a lot further."
Weird.







ONE-HIT WONDERS!
Billboard has published a list of The Top One-Hit Wonders of the Decade.
The list includes any artist who reached the Hot 100's Top 10 with their very first single, but never cracked the Top 25 for the rest of the decade.

The ranking was determined first by how high the one-hit wonder charted...and then by how far down their second highest-charting song peaked.

Here are the Top Six, which all hit #1 on the Hot 100:
#1.) "Bad Day", DANIEL POWTER...(It spent five weeks at #1.) (Rob hates this song)

#2.) "Lean Back", TERROR SQUAD...(It spent three weeks at #1.)

#3.) "Butterfly", CRAZY TOWN...(It spent two weeks at #1.) (oo, good one!)

#4.) "This Is Why I'm Hot", MIMS...(It spent two weeks at #1.)

#5.) "Laffy Taffy", D4L...(It spent one week at #1.)

#6.) "You're Beautiful", JAMES BLUNT...(It spent one week at #1.)









HAMMER TIME!
Remember MC HAMMER'S Cash4Gold commercial during last year's Super Bowl? Well, apparently that kicked off a long-term business relationship...because Hammer has just been named an equity partner in the company.

Naturally, this could mean more Hammer / Cash4Gold ads in the future.









MAKIN' THAT MONEY HONEY...
Let's face it...most people only go to college so they can get a job after graduation and make a lot of money.

With that in mind, here's a look at the ten HIGHEST-PAYING JOBS you can get:

#1.) Anesthesiologist (median pay: $292,000)

SIDE NOTE: Did you hear about the looney in Cuyahoga Falls that had like 30 guns and pipe-bombs in his apartment a few weeks ago? Week of Thanksgiving. Yeah, building I used to live in AND that guy was an Anesthesiologist. Way to throw it all away dude!!!

#2.) Physician / Obstetrician / Gynecologist ($222,000)

#3.) Psychiatrist ($177,000)

#4.) Nurse Anesthetist ($157,000)

#5.) Sales Director ($140,000)

#6.) Actuary ($129,000)

#7.) Finance Director ($121,000)

#8.) Software Architect ($117,000)

#9.) Attorney ($115,000)

#10.) Insurance Broker ($114,000)







IF YOU GO, DON'T BE A MENACE...WHILE DRINKING JUICE...
For most people, the crime-ridden streets of South Central Los Angeles aren't at the top of their must-see list when they visit Southern California. Which is why THIS defies all logic.

A nonprofit group called the Dream Center has announced that starting next month, they'll be leading BUS TOURS through South Central Los Angeles so that tourists can get an up-close look at the city's gang culture. (???)

Not only that, but the organizers of the L.A. Gang Tours say they've got a whole list of "urban" activities for tourists to enjoy along the way, including:

#1.) Selling T-shirts painted on the spot by one of the area's graffiti artists.

#2.) Organizing "dance-offs" between local kids, where tourists would put up a cash prize and pick a winner.

#3.) And organizers were even thinking about having kids shoot tourists with water pistols, in order to sell them T-shirts reading, quote, "I Got Shot in South Central." But, for some reason, they decided against it at the last minute.

Tickets for the L.A. Gang Tour will cost $65.

LOL!!!








SEVEN AWFUL TEAM NAMES THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN...
A lot of thought goes into naming professional sports teams. Although you wouldn't know it from the lame names that some of them have. If you don't believe me, here are seven sports teams and the awful names they COULD have had.


#1.) THE "NEW YORK JETS" WERE ALMOST THE "NEW YORK BORROS." They were originally the New York Titans, but when the team was sold in 1963, they changed the name. "The Borros" was supposed to be a play-on-words referencing New York's five boroughs.

But the team decided against it when they realized fans would make the connection to the word "burro," which means donkey. And they knew that opposing fans...or even their own fans, in a losing season...would eventually start referring to players as "jackasses."

#2.) THE "VANCOUVER GRIZZLIES" WERE ALMOST THE "VANCOUVER MOUNTIES." The city got an NBA team in 1995 and wanted to pay tribute to their police force.

But the plan hit a snag when the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said they didn't want the NBA using their name. Apparently they didn't like the prospect of a Dudley Do-Right mascot.


#3.) THE "BALTIMORE RAVENS" WERE ALMOST THE "BALTIMORE AMERICANS." When the Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore in 1996, they had to change their name.

So they came up with three other possibilities: the Ravens, the Marauders, and the Americans. Fans voted for their favorite, and "The Ravens" won because of Baltimore's connection to Edgar Allan Poe.

#4.) THE "TORONTO RAPTORS" WERE ALMOST THE "TORONTO BEAVERS." They chose "Raptors" because they were desperate for a fan base, and "Jurassic Park" had just come out a few years earlier.

But as lame as that explanation is, it's a GOOD thing that they settled on "Raptors." Because some of the other names under consideration were the Toronto Tarantulas, the Toronto Dragons...and the "Toronto Beavers."


#5.) THE "SAN ANTONIO SPURS" WERE ALMOST THE "SAN ANTONIO GUNSLINGERS." Actually, they WERE the "Gunslingers," but not for very long. When the team moved to San Antonio in 1973, that's the name they originally chose.

But the Gunslingers never played a single game. Before the season started, the owners decided the name was too violent.


#6.) THE "WASHINGTON WIZARDS" WERE ALMOST THE "WASHINGTON SEA DOGS." They used to be the "Washington Bullets," but the name was changed in 1995 because of gun violence in the District of Columbia.

Fans came up with five new names: the "Wizards," the "Express," the "Stallions," the "Dragons," and the "Sea Dogs." But "Sea Dogs" got the axe. We assume it's because someone realized that Washington D.C. doesn't border the ocean.


#7.) THE "FLORIDA MARLINS" WERE ALMOST THE "FLORIDA FLAMINGOS." When the New York Times interviewed the owner in 1993, that's what he said. But the thought of pink uniforms was reason enough to scrap it.








LI-LO GETS SEXY TIME...
LINDSAY LOHAN did a sexy photo shoot with a male model for "Muse" magazine. The photographer said the shoot was inspired by KATE MOSS and JOHNNY DEPP'S relationship back in the 1990s...whatever that's supposed to mean.

They also threw in another chick for good measure. Enjoy.






Yowza!













CARRIE, CARRIE...
Guys, if seeing Carrie Underwood in a bikini would make the holidays better for ya, well....Merry Christmas!












IF YER STAYIN' IN ON NYE...
KRIS ALLEN, ALLISON IRAHETA and SEAN KINGSTON will perform on Fox's "Billboard's New Year's Eve Live" special. CARMEN ELECTRA will host.

It'll begin at 11:00 P.M....on New Year's Eve, of course.

FERGIE will host the West Coast portion of ABC's "New Year's Rockin' Eve" special this year. She will be based in Las Vegas. RYAN QUEEN-OF-ALL-MEDIOCRITY SEACREST will still be hosting from the East Coast.

The confirmed list of West Coast performers includes: the Black Eyed Peas, 15-year-old Justin Bieber, Robin Thicke, Keri Hilson, Selena Gomez, Colbie Caillat and Australian guitar minx Orianthi.







SOME PICS...
...from that WEEZER bus crash that sent lead singer Rivers Cuomo to the hospital last weekend.















A WOMAN WAS ARRESTED FOR INDECENT EXPOSURE AFTER SHE FLASHED THE COP WHO PULLED HER OVER...
Now it's time to recognize our Idiot Criminal of the Day...46-year-old Ellena Barron of Fort Pierce, Florida (in the eastern part of the state).

At about 3:00 A.M. Friday morning, Ellena was pulled over by an unidentified police officer for committing a traffic violation. At which point, Ellena tried to weasel her way out of a ticket by FLASHING HER BREASTS at the cop.

When the cop asked Ellena why she'd just flashed him, she responded, quote, "I thought that's what you wanted to see." (???)

Long story short, Ellena's tactic backfired and she was arrested for indecent exposure. Her bail was set at $250.










YEAR-END EXTRAVAGANZA...
Nielsen SoundScan...the company that compiles the data for the Billboard charts...has released their lists of the best-selling music of the decade.

The lists reflect sales numbers from January 1st of 2000 to November 1st of 2009.
Overall, EMINEM was the Best-Selling Artist of the Decade. He moved more than 32.2 million albums in the 2000s. But THE BEATLES had the Best-Selling Album of the Decade. Their greatest hits compilation, "1", sold almost 11.5 million copies.

Here are The 10 Best-Selling Albums of the Decade:

#1.) "1", THE BEATLES . . . 11,499,000 copies

#2.) "No Strings Attached", 'N SYNC . . . 11,112,000 copies

#3.) "Come Away with Me", NORAH JONES . . . 10,546,000 copies

#4.) "The Marshall Mathers LP", EMINEM . . . 10,204,000 copies

#5.) "The Eminem Show", EMINEM . . . 9,799,000 copies

#6.) "Confessions", USHER . . . 9,712,000 copies

#7.) "Hybrid Theory", LINKIN PARK . . . 9,663,000 copies

#8.) "Human Clay", CREED . . . 9,491,000 copies

#9.) "Oops! I Did It Again", BRITNEY SPEARS . . . 9,185,000 copies

#10.) "Country Grammar", NELLY . . . 8,461,000 copies

Interesting Fact: The most recently released album on that list is Usher's "Confessions". It came out in 2004. That probably says something about album sales over the past five years.



Here are The 10 Best-Selling Digital Songs of the Decade...or at least since 2003, when Nielsen finally began tracking digital sales:

#1.) "Low", FLO RIDA . . . 5,214,000 downloads

#2.) "Just Dance.", LADY GAGA . . . 4,690,000 downloads

#3.) "I'm Yours", JASON MRAZ . . . 4,619,000 downloads

#4.) "Apologize", TIMBALAND (featuring ONE REPUBLIC) . . . 4,439,000 downloads

#5.) "Boom Boom Pow", BLACK EYED PEAS . . . 4,349,000 downloads

#6.) "Crank That", SOULJA BOY . . . 4,315,000 downloads

#7.) "Poker Face", LADY GAGA . . . 4,200,000 downloads

#8.) "Viva La Vida", COLDPLAY . . . 4,140,000 downloads

#9.) "Love Story", TAYLOR SWIFT . . . 4,005,000 downloads

#10.) "Hot N Cold", KATY PERRY . . . 3,945,000 downloads

Interesting Fact #2: The oldest digital single on that list is Soulja Boy's "Crank That". It came out in May of 2007. That also says something about music sales over the past five years. And I don't think it's something good.




iTUNES TOP 10 DOWNLOADS OF THE YEAR...

#1.) "Boom Boom Pow", Black Eyed Peas

#2.) "Right Round", Flo Rida

#3.) "Poker Face", Lady Gaga

#4.) "I Gotta Feeling", Black Eyed Peas

#5.) "Gives You Hell", The All-American Rejects

#6.) "Just Dance", Lady Gaga (and Colby O'Donis)

#7.) "Party in the U.S.A.", Miley Cyrus

#8.) "The Climb", Miley Cyrus

#9.) "Dead and Gone", T.I. (featuring Justin Timberlake)

#10.) "Use Somebody", Kings of Leon








FUTURE T. SWEEZY NEWS...
So...what's in store for Taylor Swift next year? Well, she's actually on pace to release another album. "Billboard" asked Taylor if all the insanity from this year has slowed down her songwriting. Not so. She said, quote, "I actually am best writing on the road.

"I only have time to write the songs that hit me the hardest. Like 'Fifteen'...that's one I wrote on the road. It hits me and I found time to write it, whether it's 15 minutes between meet-and-greets or at 4:00 A.M.

"If they haunt me through my interviews, and all I'm playing in my head is this song, then I know I've got something."

So, when T is interviewing, she's only half paying attention and is focused on the music? I guess thats not a bad thing!

So even though Taylor is everywhere, she still squeezes in time to write some future hits. She continues, quote, "I'm well into writing my next album. I think my biggest goal for this next record is to write in real time as I always have.

"I want to continue to write about things that I'm going through. My first record was my diary from my early teens. My next was my diary from 16 to 18. My biggest hope for this next record is that the feelings I'm feeling right now will be accurately portrayed."

Taylor says she likes to take two years between records...so she's shooting to release another album next year. "Fearless" dropped back in 2008, but much of its success obviously came here in 2009.








MY PICK 6 FOR THE WEEK...
Decided that every week, I'm gonna list my top 6 favorite tunes either on the station, or maybe not on the station. This week, all happen to be played here on Q92. In no particular order, my 'Pick 6' this week:
--LADY GAGA/BAD ROMANCE: My favorite of all of Gaga's releases so far, just nudging out Poker Face.

--ORIANTHI/ACCORDING TO YOU: "Or-ee-ann-thee" is how you'd say her name. Australian hottiepants, was MJ's guitar goddess in "This Is It"...this song grows on you more with each listen!

--KE$HA/TIK TOK: This song has exploded over the last month as I knew it would. This will be hit #1 the first or second week of January. Current #2 request at Q92 behind Jason Derulo's "Whatcha Say"

--KINGS OF LEON/SEX ON FIRE: I gotta tell ya, their CD is fantastic. I love this band.

--JOHN MAYER/HEARTBREAK WARFARE: Look, I'm not the biggest John Mayer fan in the world, so the fact that I can put it on the list is a good sign! "Red Wine and Ambien...You're talkin' s**t again..."

--SHINEDOWN/IF YOU ONLY KNEW: Liked it from first listen and still my favorite song from them so far. Lead singer originally said he'd never ever write a love song. And this was his first. Hmmmmm. Maybe write some more? Top 10 hit on Q92!






THANKS for reading and listening. Enjoy your weekend. Be good, or don't!

THURSDAY UPDATE

Filling in for Mo tonight...Mo is going to sit in the frozen tundra of Cleveland Browns stadium and watch the Browns (hopefully...but I honestly know better) kick some Squeeler ass.

Here's some stuff...

TILA TEQUILA SAYS SHE'S ENGAGED...TO A GIRL:
TILA TEQUILA is engaged. To a girl. And not just any girl. Tila's "lucky" wife-to-be is CASEY JOHNSON...an heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune.

In an online video, Tila said that Casey proposed to her...and gave her a 17-carat diamond ring. She added, quote, "My baby takes care of me. Beat that J-Lo! Beat that Khloe and Lamar!"

Wedding plans will begin immediately. As Tila explained in the video, quote, "We're what you call U-Haul lesbians, where you meet and fall in love and move in the next day and have kids."

The video is 19 and a half minutes long and annoying...but Casey is in it with Tila, so at least you can see what she looks like.

Tila also shows off the ring, which is HUGE. God only knows how much it cost. But apparently, Casey can afford it.

There's very little that's actually WORTH watching here. But just an FYI: Tila and Casey kiss a few times throughout the clip, including at least 10 seconds worth just before the 11:30 mark...then at around 15:56, Tila grabs and kisses one of Casey's tots...

...and at 18 minutes, Casey caresses Tila's breasts, and Tila drops her already-low top to reveal some nipple. And that's really all anyone would need to see here.

AUBREY DEEEE-NIED!!!
SAMANTHA RONSON was DJ-ing at a club called Lavo in Las Vegas the other night...and bisexual minx AUBREY O'DAY made a play for her by dancing on a table right in front of the DJ booth. But she was DENIED.

A so-called "source" says, quote, "She was doing everything to get Samantha's attention, including grinding her derriere on the glass partition that blocked off the booth. Samantha totally ignored her."








TWILIGHT LUVA LUVA NEWS...
In an interview with Italy's edition of "Vanity Fair" magazine, ROBERT PATTINSON calls himself SINGLE. He says, quote, "I am single...almost everything that came out about my private life is false."








RIHANNA HAS A NEW TAT...
RIHANNA got a new tattoo Tuesday night. It's on the front of her body...above her right breast. It says, "Never a failure, always a lesson." But it's written BACKWARDS.

Rihanna says, quote, "I did it backwards to I could read it to myself in the mirror."










CELEBS DATING CELEBS...
Here's a new celebrity couple for us not to care about: Former "Playboy" skank HOLLY MADISON is nailing GOOD CHARLOTTE punk BENJI MADDEN. (Benji's twin brother Joel fornicates and procreates with NICOLE RICHIE.)








TOP TV WATCHING OF THE DECADE...
"Entertainment Weekly" has put out a list of The Top 10 TV Shows of the Decade.

Their #1 show was "The Sopranos", which isn't all that surprising. It seems like everyone is going with either that or "The Wire".Here's the list:


#1.) "The Sopranos", HBO (1999-2007)

#2.) "Lost", ABC (2004-2010)

#3.) "The Daily Show", Comedy Central (1996-present)

#4.) "American Idol", Fox (2002-present)

#5.) "Arrested Development", Fox (2003-2006)

#6.) "The Wire", HBO (2002-2008)

#7.) The British version of "The Office", BBC (2001-2003)

#8.) "The Shield", FX (2002-2008)

#9.) "Gilmore Girls", The WB / CW (2000-2007)

#10.) "The Comeback", HBO (2005)









CBS IN A 'FROSTY' UPROAR...
You may have heard about this: CBS is promoting the December 18th airing of the classic "Frosty the Snowman" and "Frosty Returns" cartoon specials with a bizarre online ad campaign.

They're mashing "Frosty" clips with audio from two of their PG-13 sitcoms, "How I Met Your Mother" and "Two and a Half Men". The slogan for the campaign is: "Some holiday classics are better left untouched."

No one would have cared, except that CBS used some of the racier, more sexual dialogue from those shows, which makes "Frosty" slightly less kid-friendly.

Here's the "How I Met Your Mother" version...

And here's the "Two and a Half Men" version...
http://fliiby.com/file/157495/pdawi4izjo.html

CBS was hosting the videos on their site, but apparently they reached the level of "controversy" they were comfortable with...because yesterday they were yanked from the site. CBS has not commented on the videos.

I'll post MY personal favs SOON! Keep watching right here!







I'M TELLING YOU...SHE *WILL* PULL A BRITNEY AND FALL OFF THE WAGON...
If you love MILEY CYRUS for her pop music...you're going to get one more album, and then Miley is going to move on to something DARKER. (darker like Rihanna? Little Miley will be cussing...WOAH!)

On the British morning show "GMTV", Miley announced that she is currently working on her, quote, "last pop record." She added, quote, "I kinda want this to be my last record for a little while and...take a break."

During that break, Miley said she wants to shift to a different type of music. She described it as, quote, "something edgier"...and added, quote, "In a few years, as I grow up, so will my fans. (ie: realize that your music is garbage??? Yes. They will.)

"I'll be able to have more of the sound of music that I'm into."

Meanwhile...before this "maturation of Miley" sinks in...she's recorded a cover of one of her favorite songs, the POISON classic, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn". (!!!! GAG !!!! I bet it's awful)

Her mom, TISH CYRUS, says, quote, "'Every Rose' is one of her all-time favorite songs and she is really excited about cutting it." Miley's rep confirmed she has recorded the song...but didn't say how or when it'll be released.

For what it's worth, Poison singer BRET MICHAELS was in the studio with Miley, and there's talk that he played guitar on her version.








WEEZER UPDATE...
The WEEZER website has a new update on the condition of singer RIVERS CUOMO, who suffered some internal injuries in a tour bus crash over the weekend.

On Tuesday, Rivers stood up for the first time . . . and made a few trips down his hospital hallway with the help of a walker. (You can read the complete update, and check out a picture of Rivers giving a "thumbs up" sign, here...)

CLEVELAND'S KID CUDI DOESN'T TWITTER EITHER...
A lot of hip-hop stars have a strong online presence...on social networking sites like Facebook, and Twitter. But KID CUDI isn't one of them.

So, he'd like you to know that the accounts in his name on those sites are BOGUS.

In a message sent to a fan site, Cudi says, quote, "What up y'all? I've been hearing there's a lot of fake Kid Cudi accounts on Twitter and Facebook and I want to reassure everyone that none of these [are] me.

"I will NEVER get back on Twitter or Facebook.

"I'm gettin my blog back together and that will be the only way to stay connected with me. I think it's sad as a mutha(effa) people do this but, oh well, it's inevitable.

"Don't fall for it, if DatNewCudi.com or KidCudi.com doesn't make a announcement (and I assure you they won't) then it's some creeper lookin' for attention. Catch me on tour baybayyyyy. Peace n love."







CASUAL SEX STATS...
Everyone says that if someone has a lot of CASUAL SEX, it's because they have low self-esteem. Because why would someone with high self-esteem get busy with so many random strangers?

But it turns out that's NOT really the case.

Researchers at the University of Minnesota surveyed more than 1,300 adults about their most recent sexual experience.

Overall, only about ONE in FIVE said their last sexual experience was "casual," while the rest said it was with someone they were in a committed relationship with. But get this...

According to the survey, people who sleep around and have lots of casual sex feel just as good about themselves, and have just as high self-esteem, as those who don't have casual sex.

In other words, casual sex and other acts of skankiness are not bad for your self-esteem.

A woman named Marla Eisenberg worked on the study. She says, quote, "We were so surprised. The conventional wisdom is that casual sex, 'friends with benefits,' and hooking up is hurtful. That's what we've been teaching kids for decades."

Well, I mean...you feel pretty good about yourself if you can nab strange action, right??






TEACHING TEENS...
We don't have a whole lot of information on this next story, but I'll be the first to admit that I'm a total perv, and it's probably the HOTTEST thing I've heard this week...

Last month, while students at James Madison High School in Brooklyn, New York, were watching a talent show in the school auditorium, a janitor named Robert Colantuoni walked into a classroom...and found two hot, young female teachers in it.

According to the "New York Daily News", the teachers...a 33-year-old French teacher named Cindy Mauro, and a married 29-year-old Spanish teacher named Alini Brito...were both, quote, "undressed."

So far, school officials haven't said much about the "incident."

But according to an Education Department spokesperson, quote, "There was an incident in the evening when there was a school performance. The two teachers have been reassigned pending the outcome of an investigation."









SOME DRUNK CHICK PASSED OUT WITH HER LEGS TUCKED UNDER HER BODY FOR 12 HOURS...AND HAD TO HAVE THEM AMPUTATED:
Meet Shanna Hiles of Brownsville, Pennsylvania (about 40 miles south of Pittsburgh).

On May 23rd, Shanna celebrated her 20th birthday by getting completely hammered at a friend's house. In fact, she got so wasted that she passed out on the floor with her legs tucked underneath her body for about 12 HOURS.

The next day, a relative found Shanna still in the same position and woke her up. At which point Shanna started complaining about pain in her lower legs.

So Shanna went to the hospital where she was diagnosed with a condition called acute compartment syndrome. Basically, the blood flow to her lower legs had been restricted for so long that it caused damage to her nerves and muscles.

And I don't mean just a little damage. I mean enough damage that Shanna had to undergo immediate surgery to AMPUTATE both her legs below the knees. (!!!)

Anyway, now Shanna's filed a malpractice lawsuit seeking unspecified damages against both the hospital and the doctor that performed her surgery.

According to her attorney, Shanna's acute compartment syndrome could have been reversed. But the doctors took too long to treat her, which resulted in the amputation. The case is ongoing.

Bet she was a Steeler fan too.







BOYFRIEND LIVES AT HOME, EH??
According to a new poll from the Pew Research Center, 13 percent of parents with grown children said that one or more of their kids had to move back home this year. And a lot of them are men. But that doesn't mean they're COMPLETELY un-dateable.

Here are four benefits of dating a guy who still lives with his mom...

#1.) CLEAN LAUNDRY. Guys wear the same clothes over and over again...and the smell of stale B.O. is never sexy. But if he's still living at home with his parents, he probably smells more like Tide.

#2.) A BETTER DVD COLLECTION. The average single guy's DVD library includes "South Park", the "Godfather" trilogy, and "The Big Lebowski". But if he's still living at home, you've got Mom and Dad's DVDs to choose from too.

#3.) HOMEMADE MEALS. As long as his parents don't mind you sleeping over, you get to look forward to all those great breakfast foods YOU'RE too lazy to cook.

#4.) HE MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE SOME MONEY SAVED UP. Living at home has a certain stigma, but when you're trying to save money, it's SMART.

If he's got a job, and he's not paying rent, then there might actually be some cash sitting in his bank account.

So uh, that doesn't seem like a very healthy list to me! Any you wanna add? Ladies, ever date a guy who lived at home and you had your own place? 330.450.9292

WEEKEND UPDATE

Is anyone else just ready to get 2009 behind us and jump into 2010?
Someone called a few weeks ago and requested "What's My Age Again?" by Blink...because it was their 23rd birthday and she said "nobody likes you when you're 23"...and I told her that I was 23 and could vouch for it, it was true!
However, I'd never really thought about it until then. Maybe it's coincidence, maybe there's truth to it, but I think the guys in Blink were unto something. 23 has been a totally medicore year AT BEST.

23 is kind of like a transition period, I guess. 22 is viewed by society as kind of a party crowd, college-age kids. 24 is viewed more in the adult-hood sense. Closer to 30, even though it's still closer to 20. Not that 24 year olds don't know how to party, its just not viewed that way by society, ya know?

So, I'll be 24 in January, and I say bring it on, 2010...time to live life to the fullest, take risks, get opportunities, better yourself...I gotta feeling....2010 will be good.


Here's some stuff....





DATING RANDOMNESS....
REESE WITHERSPOON AND JAKE GYLLENHAAL MAY HAVE BROKEN UP:
"People" magazine had been saying that REESE WITHERSPOON and JAKE GYLLENHAAL have broken up. But they got their info from a, quote, "source close to the actress."

Well, that "source" apparently wasn't as close to Reese as "People" thought it was. Both of their reps say it's not true, and Reese and Jake are still together.








THESE TWO ARE NOT DATING:
JENNIFER ANISTON and ORLANDO BLOOM were on the same flight from Los Angeles to Morocco...with a stopover in London. That led some websites to jump the gun and suggest the two of them are together.

It's not true. Jennifer and Orlando were among SEVERAL celebrities who spent Thanksgiving in Morocco for the grand reopening of some luxury hotel there.

They were joined by Gwyneth Paltrow, Adrien Brody, Salma Hayek and Orlando's GIRLFRIEND, MIRANDA KERR.







CELL PHONE NEWS: WHO IS BEST? WORST?
A new survey by "Consumer Reports" has found that the wireless provider with the WORST customer service is...AT&T.

Verizon/Alltel was found to have the BEST customer service...followed by T-Mobile and Sprint.






ANOTHER SIGN "IDOL" IS FADING?
I didn't watch American Idol last year and it was the first time since the first season that I didn't watch. And I don't think I'm alone in folks losing interest in the show...
KRIS ALLEN'S self-titled album debuted at #11 on the Billboard 200 last week..selling just 80,000 copies.

That was the worst first week of any "American Idol" winner...by far. The previous low was set two years ago, when JORDIN SPARKS moved just 119,000 copies of her debut album in its first week. It came in at #10.

FANTASIA BARRINO now holds the third-worst opening. In 2004, her debut album, "Free Yourself", sold 240,000 copies and came in at #8.

Last year, DAVID COOK'S self-titled album landed at #3, selling 279,000 copies in its first week.








LAYDEE GAGA!
LADY GAGA was on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" last Friday, and she told Ellen that her weirdness isn't an act...it's something she does to make her freaky fans feel better about themselves.

She said, quote, "I didn't fit in in high school, and I felt like a freak. So I like to create this atmosphere for my fans where they feel like they have a freak in me to hang out with, and they don't feel alone.

"I want to create a space for my fans where they can feel free, and they can celebrate . . . I want my fans to know that it's OK. Sometimes in life you don't always feel like a winner, but that doesn't mean you're not a winner."









WHO...SUPER BO-...ER, BIG GAME HALFTIME SHOW...
There has been talk that THE WHO would be performing the Super Bowl halftime show on February 7th...and now, the NFL has finally confirmed it.
There are no further details yet. The Who will release a Greatest Hits album on December 21st.

Once again this year, we can thank JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE and JANET JACKSON for ensuring that the Super Bowl halftime show SUCKS for the rest of eternity!! UGH!!








....HA!!!
From Men's Health, here are some figures to consider the next time you're out pounding drinks, and hoping to take home a random bar skank...

According to a recent study, 24% of women say they'd consider having sex with an "exceptionally attractive" guy if he'd just ask them to.

13% say they'd consider having sex with a "moderately attractive" guy if he asked them to.

And 5% say they'd consider having sex with a "slightly unattractive" guy if he asked them to.

That means even if you're "slightly unattractive," you still have a ONE in 20 shot of getting some action on any given night...if you just ask. Now, combine that information with THIS...

A new study from Wake Forest University has found that when it comes to judging a man's looks, women are all over the board. Some women will rate a guy extremely attractive, while others will rate him completely unattractive. There's no consistency.

What I'm getting at is that even if you're a hideous-looking man, there are bound to be women who find you attractive. And if you ask 20 of them to have sex with you, the odds are that one of them will say yes.









29% OF PEOPLE SAY THEY'D NEVER CONSIDER HAVING A THREESOME:
According to a new online survey, 32% of people say they would "absolutely" have a THREESOME, no questions asked. 40% say they'd do it with "the right group of friends," and 29% say they wouldn't even consider having a threesome.

Put another way, nearly THREE in FOUR people are open to having a three-way.








LINDSAY LOHAN: IS JOHN MAYER HITTIN' THAT???
Now, file this in the rumor mill for sure, but LINDSAY LOHAN was partying with JOHN MAYER at a New York City club called Butter Monday night. Nobody saw any EROTIC CONTACT, but they were dancing the night away until about 3:00 A.M.

No one seems to know if they left the club together.

But that's not exactly how it happened. The "New York Daily News" has the REAL scoop. Well, the SUPPOSED real scoop, as told by unidentified witnesses. (???)

Here's the deal: John actually played relationship doctor to Lindsay and SAMANTHA RONSON. Both ladies were at the club that night...but not together, obviously. They were sitting at a table with John, but at opposite ends.

Lindsay got upset that Sam didn't come over and talk to her...so John started talking to Lindsay to calm her down. Then he went over and talked to Samantha.

Then Samantha got up and approached Lindsay, and the two ended up spending much of the night TALKING AND LAUGHING. After a while, John left the club, while Lindsay and Samantha stayed until after 3:00 A.M.

The witness says, quote, "They didn't leave together, but they definitely ended the night on good terms."

I guess it should be noted, however, that "Us Weekly" is running a cover story claiming that Lindsay was, quote, "caught kissing" JESSICA ALBA'S husband, CASH WARREN.









MOVIE TIME...
Guys, here's a movie to put on your must-see list: "Black Swan". Why must you see it??? Because it features a make-out scene between MILA KUNIS and NATALIE PORTMAN. (!!!)

Mila says, quote, "It's two girls making out, and guys have a thing for that. And Nat is like every guy's dream. She's a nerd's idea of heaven. The whole thing is silly, but I can see why people care."

"Black Swan" is due out sometime next year. It's a ballet flick, directed by DARREN ARONOFSKY, who did "The Wrestler" and "Requiem for a Dream". See ladies, you can finally get us guys into the ballet!!

DUMB CROOK NEWS!!!
Now it's time to recognize our Idiot Criminals of the Week...27-year-old Jason Zacchi and 22-year-old Amanda Yost of Dearborn Heights, Michigan (suburban Detroit).

On Saturday, Jason and Amanda were at the drive-thru window of a local Wendy's restaurant when Jason pulled out a sawed-off shotgun and told the cashier to hand over the money. There was just one problem...

Jason's mother is a manager at the Wendy's he was attempting to rob. And she was actually working at the time of the robbery. (!!!)

Apparently, Jason thought he could disguise his identity by covering his face with a bandana. But his mother recognized him anyway and turned him in to the police.

Jason and Amanda were arraigned on Monday. Amanda's bond was set at $50,000, and Jason's was set at $100,000.









ASKING TOUGH QUESTIONS AND GETTING ANSWERS...
The people over at NPR refuse to be swayed from asking the tough questions impacting all of our lives...like whether it's better to cut your sandwich into rectangles or triangles. (???)

No, I'm not joking. And, according to an informal survey of so-called experts, the "best" way to cut your sandwich is DIAGONALLY. Why?

#1.) A diagonal cut exposes more of the sandwich's insides, which makes your first bite more delicious.

#2.) A three-sided shape is more aesthetically pleasing than a four-sided shape. And if you prop one half of your triangle sandwich up against the other, it gives the plate a vertical dimension that a rectangle sandwich just can't compete with.

#3.) The narrow corner of a triangle sandwich makes it slightly easier to eat.

#4.) And a diagonal cut creates a long, crustless side for each half, which increases the total crust-free surface area of your sandwich.

Hmmm. Yeah, mine were always cut across and THAT is the way *I* say it should be!








SOME TIPS FOR YOU FROM COSMO...
There isn't ONE feature that all men are attracted to. But according to "Cosmo" magazine, there ARE a few that consistently catch their eye. According to "Cosmo", these are the six things men notice within the first six seconds of meeting a woman...

#1.) HER SMILE. Is it genuine, or does it seem forced? According to Cosmo, guys notice. And if she's got something in her teeth, they'll DEFINITELY notice.

#2.) HER HAIR. Guys don't care about split ends. They only care about two things. One, does it look SOFT? And two, does it look like it would SMELL GOOD?

#3.) HER CLEAVAGE. Duh. Ladies...when you decide to show a little skin, rest assured that every man in the room is well aware.

#4.) HER SKIN. Women obsess over minor blemishes, but chances are, guys wouldn't notice them anyway. But what they DO notice is when a woman looks bright orange from too many fake tans.

#5.) HER MAKE-UP. "Cosmo" says guys notice it, but only if it's caked on. Guys don't like it when a woman wears too much make-up because it seems like she's trying to hide something.

#6.) HER PURSE. Yes, according to "Cosmo", men DO notice them. But that's not necessarily a GOOD thing. A lot of men see a fancy, expensive purse and assume that the girl who's attached to it is high-maintenance.









T SWEEZY IN A BIKINI...AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In case anyone missed these, here are the Taylor Swift bikini pics that started making the rounds this week. They're apparently screen caps from a 2008 home video showing the then 19-year-old singer frolicking on the beach before she started dominating the entire music world.
Here's some pics...
















MORE KOL DATING RUMORS...
JULIANNE HOUGH was seen getting close with KINGS OF LEON bassist JARED FOLLOWILL for the second time in about a week. On Tuesday night, they hit a few Nashville clubs. A witness says, quote, "They were very affectionate."

They were also out on the town in Nashville the Monday before Thanksgiving. A rep for the Kings of Leon says, quote, "They are friends and have been hanging."

This is fresh on the heels of a rumor that Jared is dating "Twilight" minx Ashley Greene. They were supposedly making out at his 23rd birthday party two weeks ago.









BRIT BRIT AND K-FED'S NEW WOMAN...SHARE B-DAYS!
BRITNEY SPEARS turned 28 Wednesday. But guess who else celebrated a birthday yesterday??? KEVIN FEDERLINE'S new girlfriend, VICTORIA PRINCE. She turned 27.

Britney started her celebration early, hitting a spa, a restaurant and a few clubs with boyfriend Jason Trawick on Tuesday night.

Then Wednesday, they went shopping in the morning, then headed back to Britney's house to spend the rest of the day with her sons, 3-year-old Sean Preston and 2-year-old Jayden.

Meanwhile, your man K-Fed took his lady to a Mexican restaurant in Sherman Oaks, California.








NO SEXY GAGA...
Whether you're buying into it or not, LADY GAGA is all about "performance art"...so it's not surprising that her album covers feature bizarre pictures of herself. But one thing she doesn't want those pictures to be is SEXY.

And that's gotten her in trouble with her label, Interscope.

She says, quote, "My album covers are not sexual at all, which was an issue at my record label. I fought for months, and I cried at meetings. They didn't think the photos were commercial enough.

"The last thing a young woman needs is another picture of a sexy pop star writhing in sand, covered in grease, touching herself." You can criticize her "act" all you want, but that's a pretty awesome stance to take. Props, definitely.

SARAH JESSICA PARKER...
Remeber the surrogate's in Belmont County, Ohio that got broken into by the cops?
Barry Carpenter...one of the police chiefs who broke into the home of the surrogate who carried SARAH JESSICA PARKER'S twin girls...was convicted Monday on SOME of the charges against him.

The jury found him guilty of receiving stolen property, theft and tampering with evidence. But he skated on charges of burglary and unauthorized use of property or services.

Carpenter and another police chief, Chad Dojak, are accused of breaking into the surrogate's Ohio home to find dirt to sell to the tabloids. Dojak goes on trial in January.









YOU COULD SING ON A CLEVELAND BAND'S ALBUM...
JARED LETO'S band, 30 SECONDS TO MARS, offered their fans several ways to be a part of their new album, "The Is War", which hits stores on December 8th.

First off, the CD will be released with 2,000 different covers. Each cover has an individual picture of one of their fans from somewhere in the world.

The band had asked fans submit the pictures to their website back in September, in order to get their own personalized cover.

Some fans even made it onto the album itself...by singing on the choruses. Leto says, quote, "We were intent on turning the mic toward the audience. We started to hold events we called 'the Summit'.

"We wound up doing eight of them in different cities, and then we started getting requests from fans that couldn't make it to the summits to participate. We launched a digital version, and we used the material to create the choruses."

Of course, these things...especially the fan-submitted cover art...were done in an effort to boost physical CD sales.

Leto says, quote, "We know that retail is shifting from physical to digital. We wanted to celebrate the transition and make the physical release really important."








FIDDY AND TB HAVE SETTLED...
50 CENT has reportedly reached a financial settlement with Taco Bell, but the terms haven't been released. Last year, 50 sued Taco Bell for using his name in a back-door promotion without his permission. Here's what happened:

Taco Bell released an "open letter" to 50 Cent, which publicly invited him to change his name to 79- 89- or 99 Cent for one day, in connection with one of their advertising promotions. If he did it, they'd donate $10,000 to the charity of his choice.

Taco Bell claimed they were making a, quote, "good faith offer"...but 50 said that any offer should have been made privately. He argued that by announcing it publicly, they were tying his name to Taco Bell...and he didn't appreciate that.

At one point, we heard that 50 was seeking $1 million in damages.







THE AVERAGE WOMAN WORRIES ABOUT HER APPEARANCE 36 TIMES A DAY:
This study took place in the UK, but we have no reason to think the results would be any different here...
According to a new study by Britain's Independent Television Authority, the average woman has negative thoughts about her appearance 36 times a day.
That adds up to 252 negative thoughts a week...or 13,140 a year. (!!!)








TEXTING AND DRIVING...
A recent survey by a website called FindLaw.com found that ONE in TEN drivers between the ages of 18 and 34 admit they've sent or received an email, or surfed the Internet on their phone, while driving.

Meanwhile, TWO in THREE drivers admit they talk on their cell phone while driving, while HALF admit to TEXTING while driving.

This seems like the perfect time to remind you that last summer, a study by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute found that texting while driving is 23 TIMES more dangerous than driving drunk.







HERE'S WHAT YOUR FAVORITE THANKSGIVING FOOD SAYS ABOUT YOU:
Everybody has a favorite Thanksgiving food. And what you ate this past Thursday MIGHT reveal a little bit about your personality...according to three food and personality experts at MSN.com.


#1.) IF IT'S TURKEY. You appreciate the little things in life, but it's not what gets you out of bed in the morning. You only play to win...and you like spending time with people who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. (???)


#2.) IF IT'S TOFURKEY. You think about things before you do them. In other words, tofurkey is turkey made of tofu: People eat it because they believe in something SO strongly, they shun the taste of meat . . . delicious, succulent, turkey meat. (Sorry, got carried away.)


#3.) IF IT'S STUFFING. You're traditional, but you also have a wild side. And you're probably an opinionated person who likes being around other opinionated people. (???)


#4.) IF IT'S MASHED POTATOES. You're a people person who appreciates the little comforts in life that most people overlook. And you look for considerate, compassionate people to spend time with.


#5.) IF IT'S CANNED CRANBERRY SAUCE. You're not fancy, you're practical. And you like that about yourself. But you don't take yourself too seriously, and you're not afraid to be the butt of a few jokes every now and then.

#6.) IF IT'S PUMPKIN PIE. You like being part of a close-knit family...or you WISH you were part of one. You could probably sit through two hours of your uncle's war stories, and still get excited when your mom wants to go through your baby photos.








TAYLOR-TAYLOR
Alright, so we all know Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift are shagging...but, Rolling Stone asked Lautner if he was dating T-Sweezy and he said "possibly".
That is all.







WHAT DOES RI-RI WANT FOR XMAS?
A reporter asked RIHANNA what she wants for Christmas. She replied, quote, "Some great food and some great sex." (!!!!!!!!)

She added, quote, "That's not too much to ask, right? The sex might be a little difficult but definitely my mom is coming to cook me some food."

Um, see, no, the sex wouldn't be difficult...Ri...CALL ME!







"IDOL" PREMIERE DATE SET...
Fox has announced a few of their mid-season premiere dates. Here they are:

As usual, both "American Idol" and "24" will kick off with two-night premieres. The ninth season of "Idol" will begin on January 12th and 13th...and the eighth season of "24" will begin the next week, on January 17th and 18th.

Also, the 450th episode of "The Simpsons" will air on January 10th. Afterwards, Fox will air a one-hour "Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special".








WHEN AN NFL TEAM LOSES IN AN UPSET, THERE'S AN 8% INCREASE IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AMONG FANS...
A new study by the National Bureau of Economic Research has found that when an NFL game ends in an upset, there's an 8% increase in DOMESTIC VIOLENCE in the home state of the losing team.

And when it's a game between rivals, or one with lots of turnovers and penalties, the increase is nearly TWICE that.

ONLINE DATING IS FOR FOGEY'S...
Much love for the parents, for the grandparents...it would appear that they're GETTING much love! That's according to a new study, which found that people over the age of 55 are the most active group of online daters. Check it out:

Nearly TWO in THREE single men and women over the age of 55 have joined an online dating website. That's compared to just ONE in FIVE people between the ages of 18 and 24.

People over the age of 55 have gone out with an average of 8.2 online dates. They've also had an average of 2.1 relationships with people they met online. Those figures are both higher than any other age group.

And contrary to what we'd like to think, they aren't just holding hands...

According to the study, the average over-55 online dater has had sex with an average of 2.4 people they met online.

The only other group that's freer with their genitalia is the 45-to-54 demographic. They've done it with an average of 2.6 partners.








FEZ GETS THE GIRLS...
Do you, or did you watch That 70's Show? Fez (WILMER VALDERRAMA) always had a hard time with the ladies. Lots of self-enjoyment for Fez. But thats not the case in real life! "Life & Style Weekly" says he's nailing AVRIL LAVIGNE (!!!)...who recently separated from her husband, DERYCK WHIBLEY (of SUM 41).

Avril and Wilmer became friends while working together on the 2005 movie "Fast Food Nation"...but a source says, quote, "things heated up last month."









RIHANNA PANTIES SHOT!
...for the fellas! Here ya go. Enjoy.












LIL WAYNE JUST WON'T QUIT...
...I'm talkin' in the sack! There are a ton of unconfirmed reports that NIVEA gave birth over the weekend. Remember her? "Don't Mess With My Man" from a handful of years ago. If that's true, that means LIL WAYNE is a father, again, for the second time in two months and the third time in just over a year.

With this new baby, which is reportedly a boy, he now has four children with four different baby mamas. Actress LAUREN LONDON just gave birth to his boy in September, he had another boy last October, and he has a nine-year-old daughter.

Speaking of Weezy, T-PAIN'S mom, Aliyah "Mama Pain" Najm...LIL WAYNE'S mom, Jacinda Carter...and NE-YO'S mom, Loraine Smith...are developing a talk show together that sounds like it'll be pretty similar to "The View".

There aren't many details yet...like when and where it would premiere...but we do know it'll be called "Dinner Table Discussions", and it'll include, quote, "current events, important topics, interviews and feature segments."









RI-RI LUVA LUVA NEWS...
RIHANNA denies she's dating "90210" stud TRISTAN WILDS. In an interview yesterday she admitted that he did show up at her house party last weekend. But she added, quote, "I don't even have his number."

She also admitted that she misses certain things about CHRIS BROWN...and when his music comes on the radio, she doesn't automatically turn it off.
(I wonder if my ex-girlfriends secretly listen to me on the radio?....)









LEIGHTON MEESTER-NESS...
If you want to date "Gossip Girl" minx LEIGHTON MEESTER, you'd better be in it for the long haul. She says, quote, "I don't want to have a boyfriend unless I want to be with him forever. If I don't see an end, that's nice. Because I always see an end."
Leighton is currently fornicating with "Gossip Girl" co-star Sebastian Stan.

She's also looking HOTTIEPANTS in GQ. Peep this: http://yeeeah.com/2009/11/13/ss-leighton-meester-in-gq/

Creamy dips and spreads

Gift baskets containing stuff like salad dressing or salsa

Jams and jellies

Gravy

Cranberry sauce

Mashed potatoes

Snowglobes

Here's some shtuff....



DID DAVID LETTERMAN MOVE OUT OF HIS HOUSE???
The "National Enquirer" claims that DAVID LETTERMAN failed to patch things up with his wife Regina...and has moved out of their home and into an apartment in Manhattan.

A so-called "source" says, "He took a few days off from the show so they could try to work things out. But if anything, he may have made the situation worse...Regina told him to get out and that's exactly what he did."








RANDOM DEBAUCHERY:
STEPHANIE PRATT...one of those skanks from "The Hills"...has pleaded NOT GUILTY to DUI. But her lawyer says she's checking into rehab.

Stephanie got popped last month after leaving HOLLY MONTAG'S birthday party. Two breathalyzer tests were administered. She blew a .08 and a .09.








MORE RANDOM DEBAUCHERY:
BRANDY has settled the last remaining civil lawsuit related to her car crash in December of 2006. This time, the plaintiffs were the parents of the woman who was killed in the accident. There's no word how much she forked over.

Brandy previously settled a suit filed on behalf of the woman's two children...agreeing to pay them $300,000 each. She also settled a suit filed by an unrelated woman who was injured.









AMERICAN PIE...YES, THERE REALLY IS A NEW ONE COMING...
You probably had no idea, but they're still making those "American Pie" movies. And EUGENE LEVY is still shamelessly collecting paychecks for appearing in them. (He's the dad in the first 3...the one's that are funny and you care about)

But this time, some other recognizable names are shamelessly collecting paychecks, too...including KEVIN FEDERLINE.

He's among a group of so-called "stars" making cameos in "American Pie Presents: The Book Of Love"...which rockets straight to DVD on December 22nd.

Others include Poison singer/Rock Of Love star Bret Michaels, Rosanna Arquette, Christopher "Peter Brady" Knight and C. Thomas Howell...

Plus DUSTIN "SCREECH" DIAMOND and CURTIS ARMSTRONG...who played Booger in the "Revenge of the Nerds" movies.
Obviously, this movie's going to nlow. But if you're interested, here's the trailer...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3fTa1A4JYY








JON & KATE SERIES FINALE...
TLC will wrap up "Jon and Kate Plus Eight" next Monday night.

According to the "New York Post", the episode will feature JON and KATE GOSSELIN sitting down to discuss, quote, "what the future holds for them and their eight children." It's unclear when the footage featuring Jon was shot.

There will also be a montage...with clips pulled from the show's five-season run.

The "Post" also says TLC has scrapped plans for a spin-off called "Kate Plus Eight"...at least as a regular series. However, they may air "occasional specials" under that title at some point in the future.

Instead, they are working on a new show with Kate, but there aren't any details on what the show will be about...or if it'll feature her kids.

It's probably a good bet that TLC won't finalize any future plans with Kate...or any "Kate Plus Eight" specials...until their legal mess with Jon is sorted out.

The following Monday, November 30th, TLC will replace "Jon and Kate" with one of their other popular shows..."Cake Boss". (Really?) That show's second season kicked off three weeks ago. It's been averaging 2 million viewers per episode.





ALSO....




JON GOSSELIN has filed a countersuit against TLC...for $5 million...on the grounds that the network still owes him money, and that they've tarnished his image.

Last month, TLC sued Jon for breach of contract...not for blocking production on "Jon and Kate Plus Eight", but for doing all kinds of TV interviews without their consent. TLC claims that this violates an exclusivity clause in their contract with Jon.

But Jon says that TLC breached their contract with him...and he claims they owe him $175,000.

In the lawsuit, Jon argues that TLC contacted networks that Jon was trying to work with...to persuade them not to do anything with him.

He also claims that he didn't have an attorney present when he signed his contract with TLC...and that the network has, quote, "harmed his reputation."

Part of the lawsuit reads, quote, "Because of the enormous Media interest...and public interest, it makes it impossible to carry on normal daily activities, let alone find, secure and maintain a job with an employer who is willing to be exposed to the daily media intrusions that has impeded my life."

A hearing in the case has been set for December 14th.









RIHANNA'S "RUSSIAN ROULETTE" VIDEO...
Gotta tell ya, I'm digging the new upbeat version we're playing! RIHANNA has released the video for "Russian Roulette"...and it's dark.

There aren't any overt references to the CHRIS BROWN assault, but there are a few shots of a mysterious car...that at one point appears to run her over...and it's hard not to make a connection to what happened back in February. Watch it, here...

KINGS OF LEON-ER GETS HITCHED...
KINGS OF LEON drummer NATHAN FOLLOWILL married his girlfriend, Jessie Baylin, in Tennessee over the weekend.

SCARLETT JOHANSSON was among the guests...not because she's a Kings of Leon fan, but because she reportedly went to high school with the bride.







IF LIL WAYNE WERE PRESIDENT...
THAT is kind of a scary thought! But he's got a documentary coming out tomorrow, and that's one of the things he mentioned.
He said, quote, "I would put cocaine back in Coca-Cola, I would put that back. I think I'd get love for that.

"I'd take off all bad substances from sports, so there would be no more steroids [restrictions]. So you could use whatever steroid or hormone to grow you want, as long as you hitting homeruns, it's fine with me.

"I would make prostitution legal in about five more states...[and] gambling too.

"And you know I would legalize weed, first and second and I would put a law to it that there's no more child support and there's no more . . . pre-nup[s]. Because marriage, that don't mean...she gotta get something. I'd change that."









NEARLY TWO IN THREE MEN HAVE PLEASURED THEMSELVES AT WORK:
This survey took place in the UK, and we're not sure if the results would be similar here in the States. But we suspect they might be...

According to a new British sex survey, the average woman has sex 3.2 times a week. But she'd like to do it 5.9 times a week.

And the average man has sex 2.6 times a week. But he'd like to do it 24.5 times a week...or more than three times a day.

Nearly ONE in FOUR guys...or 24%...admit they've enlisted the services of a compensated date. Not a single woman in the survey said she's ever paid for sex.

ONE in FOUR men and women admit they've experimented with same-sex relations...although 4% of guys say they've ONLY had sex with other men.

2% of men and women say they've had sex in a taxi. And TWO in FIVE guys say they've had sex on a train, while only 14% of women have. (???)

46% of women have pleasured themselves at WORK. And so have 64% of guys...which is nearly TWO in THREE overall.

11% of women and 16% of men say they've taken part in an ORGY.

Overall, 5% of women and 13% of men describe their sexual appetite as, quote, "practically perverted."








SEX STUFF 15:
Let's face it...most of us consider ourselves to be experts on the topic of sex. But the truth is that a lot of us are actually pretty clueless.
If you're wondering where you stand, here are 15 things about sex that you may not have known:

#1.) The average American has sex about ONCE a week. And married people are anywhere from 25% to 300% more likely to have sex during any given week than unmarried people.

#2.) French kissing is good for your teeth. It's because the extra saliva helps regulate plaque and prevent tooth decay.

#3.) TWO in every FIVE condoms sold in the U.S. are bought by women.

#4.) 12% of all websites on the Internet are pornography.

#5.) But "sex" is NOT the most searched word on the Internet. Last year, it was overtaken by the word "Facebook," and last month "Facebook" was Googled five times more often than the word "sex".

#6.) Humans are NOT the only species that has sex purely for fun. Studies have found that pigs, dolphins and Bonobos...which is a relative of the chimp...also have sex for fun. And there may be others as well.


#7.) It's illegal to buy naughty novelty devices in two states...Alabama and Mississippi.

#8.) Women with at least some college education are more open to experimenting with both ORAL and NO-GO HOLE relations.

#9.) For its size, the strongest muscle in the human body is the TONGUE.

#10.) When they're ovulating, women have an increased sex drive. It's nature's way of getting us to spawn.

#11.) Chocolate is a natural aphrodisiac. It contains an amino acid called Phenylalanine that raises endorphin levels, and increases a person's sex drive.

#12.) Human beings have only one body part that's designed JUST for sexual pleasure. It belongs to women...and it rhymes with Dolores.

#13.) The Graham Cracker was invented in 1829 to curb sexual desire. At the time, it was widely believed that spicy foods caused sexual desire. The Graham Cracker was developed as a spice-less snacking alternative.

#14.) The avocado was named after a man's genitalia. Back in the day, the Aztecs used avocado as a sex stimulant. So they gave it the name "ahuacati," which literally means "gonad."

#15.) And the word "vanilla" is derived from the Latin word for a woman's most intimate of areas, because the vanilla plant somewhat resembles what a woman's got "down there."








HERE ARE SEVEN TRICKS TO HELP YOU GET THE TABLE YOU WANT AT ANY RESTAURANT:
FROM CNN: How many times has this happened? You've got a big date and you want everything to be perfect. So you make a reservation at the best restaurant in town...only to be seated at the worst table in the whole place.

Now, you could make the best of the situation. But you don't have to. With that in mind, here are seven tricks from a website called TheFrisky.com that can help you get the table you want at just about any restaurant:

#1.) Be your own personal assistant: Instead of making the reservation for yourself, pretend you're your own personal assistant calling on behalf of "your boss." It'll make you seem important, which will cue the reservationist to give you a good table.

#2.) Be a regular: This isn't a "tip" so much as common sense. If you're a regular at a restaurant, your loyalty will probably be rewarded.

#3.) Bribe: If you've got some extra cash burning a hole in your pocket, it never hurts to slip the host a few bucks. But you should never attempt this move with less than $10, and you should never be obvious about what you're doing.

#4.) Be on time: Again, this one's a no-brainer. What you should really keep in mind is that if you're more than 15 minutes late at a really popular place, there's a good chance your reserved table will disappear.

#5.) Look sharp: Let's say there are two couples that both want a table at the front of the restaurant. One couple is dressed to the nines, while the other is wearing sweats. Which couple would you seat at the good table? I rest my case.

#6.) Say it's a special occasion: It's probably not the best idea to lie and say it's your birthday or anniversary if it's not. But it never hurts to tell the host it's a special night.

#7.) Send yourself champagne: Before you show up, call ahead and send your table a bottle of champagne or wine as if you're NOT one of the people actually attending the dinner. Why?

Because it will make you seem popular and influential, which restaurant managers love. The only catch is that when the bottle arrives, you have to act surprised...but not too surprised. Because, hey, this happens to you all the time, right?

USHER OFFICIALLY DIVORCED...
USHER and his wife TAMEKA are officially divorced. The judge signed the papers last Wednesday.

Usher and Tameka got married in August of 2007...against the wishes of Usher's MAMA. Usher filed for divorce this past June, but he said they'd been separated a year already.








MILEY DESTROYS ANY CREDIBILITY SHE HAD LEFT...
Here's something that may not surprise you, as I've never tried to hide it. I HAAAAATE MILEY CYRUS. And it's not because she's successful, I know some people hate people who acheive mass success...hey, not at all, more power to ya. I hate Miley because of her NASALLY-ASS hillbilly-hick voice. That girl CANNOT sing! "The Climb" was a GREAT song, lyrically...if only someone ELSE would have sang it! Her voice on it makes me wanna slit my wrists and kick babies. Not only that but its her hick-mullett-rockin' daddy forcing her into the spotlight. Parading his slutty 16-year-old daughter around. I've said it before, I can't wait til she turns 18 and goes off the deep-end, because I'm sure it WILL happen. Anyway, here's some Miley news...

MILEY CYRUS has admitted that she's, quote, "never heard a JAY-Z song"...despite the fact that she name-checks him in her single, "Party in the U.S.A.".

She's NEVER HEARD A JAY-Z SONG!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!
I was pretty sure EVERYONE IN AMERICA knows "Can I Get What what, what what...", or Hard Knock Life, or "H to the Izzo..."

But there's a simple explanation: Miley didn't write the song.

Of course not. Because people with actual talent can write. Miley can't.

In an "interview" with some fans, Miley said, quote, "I've never heard a Jay-Z song. I don't listen to pop music." (???)

So, lemme get this straight...you are a supposed 'pop artist' (term used loosely)...and YOU DON'T KNOW POP MUSIC? Miley...STFU!!!

"I didn't write ['Party in the U.S.A.']. Honestly, I picked that song because I needed something to go with my clothing line."

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! It's a shame there are musicians, TRUE musicians out there busting their ass, and this little punk-ass s**t gets a #1 song on Pop radio...when she couldn't even give two s**ts ABOUT pop music! Miley, go the hell away, cheers to you crashing and burning like the hack that you are!

And might I add, only #1 for a week, as GAGA came in with Paparazzi and kicked her ass. Lady Gaga, someone who writes her music and has talent! GO GAGA!!!

Rant off.







BRITNEY LIP-SYNCHING...
Yeah, it supposedly happened in Austrailia last week, some fans were quite upset...John Mayer jumped on his Twitter to weigh in on it...
"If you're shocked that Britney was lip-syncing at her concert and want your money back, life may continue to be hard for you."







AMA LINE-UP GROWS...LOOKIN' GOOOOOOD!
GREEN DAY, SHAKIRA and MARY J. BLIGE have joined the list of performers for the "American Music Awards", which go down on November 22nd, next Sunday night!

Other performers include: Rihanna, Jay-Z, the Black Eyed Peas, Jennifer Lopez, Adam Lambert, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Daughtry.








EMINEM MOVIE...
Word has it that EMINEM has signed on to produce and star in a horror movie called "Shady Talez". For now, it's unclear how or when the movie will be released. It's his first movie role since he did "8 Mile" back in 2002.

According to a music video director named Joseph Hann, the movie will be a "3-D anthology film," broken into three parts. And Eminem, who will be the main star, will play different characters in each part.

Hann says Eminem shouldn't have a problem with this...quote, "Having worked with him so many times, the thing people don't realize is that he's a fantastic actor. He actually stays in character on set. He's a method actor, like Daniel Day Lewis."

Supposedly, Eminem is also writing a comic book series to go along with the movie. (It still isn't clear how or when the movie will be released.)






KENTUCKY FOLKS LOVE THEIR PORN...
Last year, a study found that residents of Louisville, Kentucky, search for more pornographic material online than anywhere else in the U.S.
I bring this up because, according to Google Trends, nothing has changed in the past 12 months. Here's a quick look at the ten cities that search for the most online smut:

#10.) Orlando, Florida

#9.) Albany, New York

#8.) Las Vegas, Nevada

#7.) Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

#6.) Irvine, California

#5.) Los Angeles, California


#4.) Newark, New Jersey

#3.) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

#2.) Rochester, New York

...is fast approaching. Maybe you're headed out in the nice weather this weekend to knock out a few items from your gift lists. You know what it means to "re-gift" something, don't you?

A new survey has found that more than ONE in THREE Americans...or 36% overall...plan on re-gifting this holiday season. That's up from 31% last year, and 24% in 2007.

Meanwhile, 6% of Americans still haven't paid off all their debt from LAST holiday season.

FERGIE SAYS THE BLACK EYED PEAS AND KANYE WEST HAVE MADE HIP-HOP MORE "GAY-FRIENDLY":
In a new interview, FERGIE says that hip-hop and the gay community are cool with each other...and she credits her band, the BLACK EYED PEAS, and KANYE WEST for bringing them together.

WALLY WORLD'S NEW 'BLACK FRIDAY' PLAN...
It seems like every year on Black Friday, someone gets trampled to death by a stampede of early-morning bargain hunters.

Just last year, it happened to a Wal-Mart security guard on Long Island, New York.

Well this year, Wal-Mart officials are trying to avoid a repeat performance of that nonsense by keeping most of their stores open all night on Thanksgiving.

The logic is that if customers aren't forced to line up outside, there won't be a mob rushing into the store as soon as the doors open.

The only problem is that the sales still won't officially begin until 5:00 A.M. Friday.

In other words, you can camp out inside Wal-Mart all night on Thanksgiving. And at the item you want first. You people are crazy!







FERGIE/DUHAMEL DRAMA...
Nicole Forrester, the stripper who claims she had an affair with JOSH DUHAMEL, is apologizing to FERGIE. She says, quote, "I'm sorry. I thought, 'Nobody's gonna find out. It's not gonna hurt anybody.'

"I'm sorry that I didn't think of it like I think of it now."

But she adds, quote, "She's standing by her man, so obviously I'm not wrecking the home too bad, huh?"

WHAT!?

Nicole has already experienced some backlash...and from her own children, no less. She says, quote, "My son, he went to a football game last Saturday and he was like, 'Mom, you're disgusting. I didn't know you had sex with him.'"

LOL!
