TWILIGHT/K.O.L. RANDOM...
KINGS OF LEON bassist JARED FOLLOWILL is reportedly dating "Twilight" minx ASHLEY GREENE. (Ashley plays Edward's sister, Alice Cullen.)

Ashley and Jared were seen making out at his 23rd birthday party in New York City last Thursday. That is all.









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.








FINALLY...
Thanks for listening, thanks for reading!
