WEEKEND OF JUNE 20 & 21

SO MUCH stuff going on at the station this weekend! Crazy busy, but always lots of fun!

Here's some stuff going on this week

USHER TAKES DIVORCE NICE & SLOW...
...eventually, they'll be LOVE IN THIS CLUB. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah I know, I'm not funny.
Last Thursday, there was a rumor going around that USHER had filed for divorce from his wife. It wasn't true. But last Friday, he DID file for divorce.

Usher and his soon-to-be ex, TAMEKA FOSTER, have been married just under two years. Sources say they've been living separate lives for several months. They have two kids, ages 18 months and 6 months.

Back in February, Usher rushed to Brazil to be with Tameka after she suffered a heart attack while undergoing liposuction. But apparently, they were already separated at the time.

Usher's mother, Jonetta Patton, was against this relationship from the start. In July of 2007, Usher and Tameka canceled their wedding the day it was supposed to take place...supposedly because of all the drama that Mama was causing.

They ended up getting hitched a week later in Usher's lawyer's office. Then, in September of that year, they threw a reception for 200 guests. Mama was NOT there.



GETTIN' READY FOR NO DOUBT
Just a little over a week away from seeing NO DOUBT and PARAMORE, and I'm totally pumped up! Made a little 'pre-game' CD last night with some great ND and Paramore tracks on it!

Paramore is tremendously underrated band, by the way. Their song crushcrushcrush is fantastic!
Anyway, GWEN STEFANI says she used to compare being in a band with being in a marriage...but now that she has a real marriage, her relationship with her band is different.

She explains, quote, "I always referred to No Doubt as a marriage because that's what it's like to be together for so long and to go through what we've been through.

"I can't really have that relationship with them anymore. My priorities are always going to be my husband and my family now." (Gwen, of course, married Gavin Rossdale in 2002. They have two sons...three-year-old Kingston and 10-month-old Zuma.)



FERGIE MADE BEP, BUT...
...had to face alot of criticism for it? When FERGIE joined the BLACK EYED PEAS in 2002, they went from having a small, loyal following...to being a breakout mainstream band. And not all the early fans were happy about the change.

Fergie tells "Elle" magazine, quote, "When I first joined, there were a lot of people who didn't know what to make of me, and they'd been a fan of Black Eyed Peas being an underground hip-hop band. Then I come in...

"...and we released 'Where Is the Love?' with Justin Timberlake. So when that hit...a lot of people said it was my fault that they were taken out of the underground. I had to read a lot of criticism. But it only made me hungrier."



DRINKING IN AZ? DON'T HEAD FOR THE BORDER...
Recently, the Pima County Sheriff's Department in Arizona started a new program...called Operation WULF . . . which stands for...get this...Would U Like Fries. (!!)

It involves using undercover officers to stake out fast food drive-thru windows...in order to bust DRUNK DRIVERS with the late-night MUNCHIES. (!!!)

If the undercover officer notices anyone with the classic symptoms of being drunk...like slurred speech, red or watery eyes or beer breath...they'll radio a uniformed deputy stationed down the road and have them pull the driver over.

According to the officer in charge of Operation WULF, quote, "The idea is to get the [drunks] before they get back on the road."

I'm sorry, but this is BRILLIANT. I don't know why more police departments don't do this. Really, this is police work at its finest.



KAN U SPELL THIS KORECTLEE?
Recently, a website called OnePoll.com conducted a survey to find out which words in the English language...are most commonly misspelled. Here's a look at the top ten...

10.) Unnecessary
09.) Consensus
08.) Prejudice
07.) Phlegm
06.) Broccoli
05.) Bureaucracy
04.) Maneuver
03.) Indict
02.) Sacrilegious

LOVE ADVICE FROM JADA PINKETT
Unless they're just big talkers, WILL SMITH and his wife, JADA PINKETT, have one of the best sex lives in the history of marriage.

And Jada recently told "Redbook" how other married couples can keep it hot, too. Pretty much, it's all about jumping each other's bones in random locations.

She said, quote, "Be sneaky...your girlfriend's house at a party. The bathroom. A bedroom. Think of places outside that are comfortable to have sex. Does he have access to his office? Have a fantasy date. Be his secretary!

"Pull over on the side of the road...Just switch it up. Anything like that can keep it going. Anything it takes to keep the flame alive."

Jada would also like to put a few lingering rumors about her marriage to rest. She says, quote, "I've heard all the things...their marriage is not real, he's gay, she's gay, they swing. But at the end of the day, people have to believe what they have to believe. One thing Will and I are not here to do, is like, what's real for us is what's real for us, so you can either get on that bandwagon or not. I'll tell you what, it's too hard to be in a pretend marriage. Life's too short for that one."



GOOD JOB!!!
It's a shame that while we all get to celebrate the Fourth of July from home, the people who actually risk their lives defending our interests...meaning the MILITARY TROOPS...are stuck in foreign countries. Which is what makes THIS so cool...
This weekend, MillerCoors will ship 8,000 cases of beer...(4,000 cases of Miller Lite and 4,000 cases of Coors Light)...to troops serving in the Middle East, in order to help them celebrate the Fourth of July.

And, as if that's not enough, MillerCoors has also purchased 25,000 pizzas from Uno Chicago Grill...which they're donating as well.



ARCHIE...BUSTED!
JEFF ARCHULETA...the father of sweet, innocent, teen "American Idol" runner-up DAVID ARCHULETA...was busted for soliciting a prostitute back in January. (It's not clear why we're just finding out about this now.)

RadarOnline.com says that Jeff was busted receiving a SENSUAL MASSAGE at the Reiki Massage Parlor in Midvale, Utah. He pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor solicitation charge, and paid a $582 fine.

A spokesman for the Midvale Police Department gave Radar Online the details. He said that they were originally alerted to the Reiki Massage Parlor by the man who was renting out office space to them.

This guy started to notice that the "massage therapists" were showing up to work in rather WHORISH outfits, so he called the cops.

They staked the place out, then raided it. There was only one client there at the time...obviously, it was Archuleta. He was on his stomach, getting a rubdown from a woman in LINGERIE.

He told police that he'd found the place on Craigslist, and admitted that he did indeed receive sexual favors.

For some reason, no mugshot was ever taken.

Jeff's attorney...who was NOT his attorney at the time of his arrest...tells a slightly different story. He says Jeff only went to the place once, and it was for a back problem. And he claims there was NO SEXUAL CONTACT.

Yeah, because the cops showed up before they got to the part where he rolls over.



JUST SO YOU KNOW...
CHRIS BROWN tried to have his preliminary hearing postponed. He failed. It goes down on Monday, as scheduled, and RIHANNA is expected to be there AND testify.


A NEW BAND...
Three of the original members of EVANESCENCE are putting together a new band and they've chosen "American Idol" finalist CARLY SMITHSON to be their lead singer.

Carly finished in the sixth-place on the seventh season of "American Idol" last year. She'd been planning a solo career ever since finishing the "American Idols Live!" tour last summer. (Where she used to sing the Evanescence song "Bring Me to Life".)

She'll be joining the three former Evanescence guys...guitarist BEN MOODY, drummer ROCKY GRAY, guitarist JOHN LECOMPT...and a new bassist named Marty O'Brian...to become a hard-rock band called THE FALLEN.

"Fallen" was actually the name of the first Evanescence album. Carly also kind of looks and sounds the same as AMY LEE, the lead singer of Evanescence.

Carly says, quote, "I kept getting told that 'You don't have the rock voice, you can't do rock music.' But it's everything I am. It's everything I listen to. I'm not the regular girl next door.

"The first time we rehearsed, everybody started in on this jam of IRON MAIDEN. I was like, 'I'm in a band! I love this!'"

According to Ben Moody, he and the other Evanescence guys had been planning a new band when they found Carly, and saw that her ideas were pretty much identical.

He said, quote, "And I don't mean, like, 'Oh, they were kind of the same.' I mean, an uncanny amount of detail being identical. And it was just clear to me that we had found our better half. Carly is a rock star. She was one of us."

You can download the first Fallen track..."Bury Me Alive"...on Monday at their website. The group plans to tour in September for a year and a half, and will release a couple songs at a time online.
