WEEKEND OF JUNE 13 & 14

Hola, thanks for clicking over! This is where we're going to do ROB'S RANDOMS from now on because...well, it's easier this way! :)

TV REUNION: FULL HOUSE STYLE
This is HUGE, people...JOHN STAMOS is working on some ideas for a "Full House" movie!!!
Now, this isn't an update or continuation of the series, starring the original cast. It's a new version, with an all-new, younger cast...kind of like the "Brady Bunch" or "Starsky & Hutch" movies.

Stamos says, quote, "It would probably take place in the first few years [of the sitcom]."
Stamos even has a wish list when it comes to casting. He thinks JAMES FRANCO would be awesome in his role...Uncle Jesse.
He'd also love to get STEVE CARELL to play the BOB SAGET part, and TRACY MORGAN to replace DAVE COULIER.

There's no word who he'd get to replace MARY-KATE and ASHLEY OLSEN, or the other Tanner girls. (Given that they'd just be kids, though, they'd probably end up going with unknowns.)

This is in VERY EARLY planning stages, but of course we'll keep you posted on any developments.


THEY MAKE HOW MUCH?!
Do you realize just how much the brats on "The Hills" are getting paid? According to "Life & Style" magazine, MTV has agreed to pay KRISTIN CAVALLARI $63,000...per episode (!!!)...to join the show next season.

A so-called "production insider" says, quote, "They needed her. 'The Hills' ratings were on a decline. They needed someone new and fresh, who also came with buzz and a name that was recognizable. Kristin was the obvious choice."

Kristin is essentially replacing LAUREN CONRAD, who was reportedly pulling down $65,000 per episode. There's no word how much SPENCER and HEIDI PRATT are making...but it has to be even MORE than that.


MORE ON THE BLINK-182 REUNION
The BLINK-182 reunion tour kicks off next month...and while no one knows what the future of the band will be, they're saying they didn't get back together just to make some quick cash before splitting up again.

Bassist MARK HOPPUS tells the "San Diego Union-Tribune", quote, "I hate when bands get back together and do one tour, and it feels like they're going to make a bunch of money, and then they go away for a while and then come back again.

"We did this [reunion] to continue being creative and having fun. I see us continuing to tour and put out albums as long as it's fun. There's no end game and no plan at all. We enjoy playing music together, that's all."

Singer TOM DELONGE agrees...quote, "There's no end game, no plan and no practice. We're just going to see where that takes us."

However, Tom admits that things have been so chaotic since they announced the reunion earlier this year...that they haven't had a chance to think about much.
He says, quote, "It's definitely [interesting] how rapidly things can change from day to day. I have a lot of anxiety right now about the tour and how big it is."

But not everyone is stressing about the tour. Drummer TRAVIS BARKER says, quote, "Oh, it's so fun. This is a breath of fresh air."


SEX AND YOUR JOB
When I'm getting lots of SEX...everything in my life gets just a little bit easier. And there's a good chance you're the same way.
At least that's according to a new study from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden which found that people with the BEST sex lives...are the MOST productive at work. But there's a catch...

Even though women with the WORST sex lives are completely miserable at work, men with the worst sex lives are...get this...just as productive as men with the best sex lives. (Does that make sense, really???)

A woman named Ann-Christine Andersson Arntén led the study. She says, quote:
"When we talked to the men, they said that when [their sex life] is in between, they have to put more effort into it. You keep doing that until the relationship either becomes better or hopeless. When you get to that point, it doesn't really affect your health anymore."

In other words, guys are the most productive at work when their sex life is either GREAT...or TERRIBLE. But women are only productive at work when they're getting lots of action.


TWITTER ME THIS
I'll be honest, I'm usually up on the technology. But I don't have a Twitter account. Don't want one. Had one for about 2 minutes, but dropped it. Not a fan, too boring. But listen to these stats:
According to a web security firm called Purewire, there are more than 7 MILLION Twitter accounts...and 32 MILLION people visited Twitter during the month of April.

But FOUR in FIVE Twitter accounts have less than TEN followers.

Nearly ONE in THREE...or 30%...have ZERO followers.

And the top 10% of Twitter users...produce 90% of the tweets.

TWO in FIVE Twitter users haven't posted a single tweet since the day they signed up for their account...and ONE in THREE Twitter users have NEVER posted a single tweet.

Overall, THREE in FIVE Twitter users abandon their account within the first month.


CHRIS BROWN VS. RIHANNA: IT'S (STILL) ON!
Remember those nude pictures of RIHANNA that hit the Web a while back??? Well, "Now" magazine says that Rihanna is convinced that CHRIS BROWN is the one who leaked them...and she's plotting her REVENGE.
A so-called "source" says, quote, "She has less-than-flattering nude pictures of him that she plans on leaking. Rihanna says he'd be really embarrassed by them."

But that might not be the end of Rihanna's CAMPAIGN OF VENGEANCE. The source adds, quote, "Another thing she's been talking about is spreading rumors about Chris.

"She wants to ruin his sexy image by letting it be known that he was a bit of a novice in the bedroom when they met, and that she taught him everything he knows."
OHHHH! BURN!


LI-LO AND RON-RON SCISSORING AGAIN?
Are LINDSAY LOHAN and SAMANTHA RONSON scissoring again??? The two were spotted together yesterday at Heathrow Airport, leaving London bound for Los Angeles. And Lindsay was flashing something that looked like an engagement ring.

Lindsay also dropped an interesting note via Twitter...saying, quote, "Leaving London but with my favorite favorite!!! Travel buddy & great news to share!! Maybe."

Samantha had a series of DJ gigs in London over the past week, and Lindsay showed up there trying to hook back up with her. Apparently, it worked.

TAYLOR IS HIP-HOP?
TAYLOR SWIFT has been threatening to record a rap song for a while now. Well, it may finally be happening. Here's what she wrote on her Twitter page on Monday, quote, "If I said I was in the studio with (rapper) T-PAIN, would you believe me?"

Taylor is kinda hot when she's thuggin!! OK, Taylor is ALWAYS hot! Yes, you're right.


LETTERMAN KNOCKS OFF CONAN
"The Late Show with David Letterman" beat "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" for the first time on Tuesday night...according to early ratings estimates. It was Conan's 7th night hosting the show. (The official audience numbers won't be available until next week.)

It's hard to say how significant this is. When JAY LENO first took over "The Tonight Show", "Letterman" had the early lead on him...but then Leno's audience grew, and his "Tonight Show" consistently outperformed "Letterman" for the next 17 years.


KANYE AND GAGA TO TOUR IT UP!
On "The View" Wednesday, KANYE WEST announced that he's going on tour with LADY GAGA. He didn't reveal any specifics...but he did emphasize that Lady Gaga would NOT be opening for him.

He told the yentas, quote, "She's talented and so incredible that she's not an opening act. We're doing it together, with no opening act." (It sounds like the tour will happen later this year...but we'll let you know when we have more details.)

Meanwhile, Kanye is no longer dating that weird model chick AMBER ROSE. A rep for Kanye tells the "New York Post", quote, "They are no longer a couple."


RIHANNA AND HER MAN
RIHANNA went to a BLACK EYED PEAS album release party on Wednesday night in New York City. And she was spotted with her alleged new boyfriend, Canadian rapper (slash) actor AUBREY "DRAKE" GRAHAM.

Nobody's reporting that anything romantic went down between them. They left at the same time, but in separate cars.

(By the way...Rihanna and CHRIS BROWN were both at Game 4 of the NBA Finals last night. But they were NOT there together. They sat in separate sections. There was a rumor going around earlier yesterday that they had, quote, "requested to sit together." That rumor was likely untrue.


RETURN TO THE SLAMMER
MARK MORRISON...the dude who sang the 1996 GEM, and my theme song, "Return of the Mack"...was arrested in London on Monday. He was hit with a battery charge for allegedly beating another man. He posted bail and was released. That is all.


HERE ARE NINE FOODS THAT FEED YOUR SEX DRIVE:
Different foods do different things to your body. There are foods that boost energy, sharpen memory, and help you lose weight. But THESE snacks serve a sexier purpose. Here are ten foods that feed your SEX DRIVE...

#1.) HOT CHILIES. Capsaicin (Pronounced cap-SAY-a-sin) is a chemical found in peppers that increases circulation and stimulates nerve endings, which makes you feel more turned on.

#2.) ASPARAGUS AND AVOCADOS. They're loaded with vitamin E, which helps your body produce hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. And when more hormones are circulating in your bloodstream, you'll be more IN THE MOOD.

#3.) OYSTERS. You might have heard somewhere that oysters are an aphrodisiac. The reason is, they're loaded with zinc...a mineral that cranks up the production of testosterone...which, in turn, cranks up your sex drive.

#4.) POMEGRANATES. They have a ton of antioxidants, which protect the lining of blood vessels and allow more blood to course through them. Better blood flow is always good, but the best part is, pomegranates actually increase sensitivity below the belt.

#5.) BANANAS. Yeah, they're erotic LOOKING, but bananas are also filled with potassium, which increases muscle strength and makes sex more intense.

#6.) RED WINE. Alcohol has OBVIOUS effects on your level of inhibition, but red wine contains resveratol (Pronounced rez-VARE-a-tall), an antioxidant that helps boost blood flow and improve circulation before and during intercourse.

#7.) SALMON AND WALNUTS. No, you don't have to eat them together. BOTH salmon and walnuts are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which keep sex-hormone production at its peak. Pumpkin seeds and flaxseeds do the same thing.

#8.) CHOCOLATE AND VANILLA. After a romantic dinner, have some ice cream for dessert. Chocolate contains a chemical called phenylethylamine (Pronounced fen-ill-ETHYL-a-mean), which makes you feel happy and puts you in the mood.

VANILLA stimulates your nerves and makes sex even better.

#9.) WATERMELON. It increases the amount of nitric oxide in your body. That spike causes blood vessels to relax and speeds up circulation. As a result, you'll get more aroused in less time.



AND with that, we shall wrap it up! Thanks for reading, thanks for listening, as always!
