WKND ^D8: NOV 7 & 8

So I had the chance to head up to Ytown (spelled correctly? Yes, good.) and see DAUGHTRY and THEORY OF A DEADMAN this past week on Wednesday night. A couple of Q92 listeners got to go backstage and meet the bands as well, so congrats to them!

I must say, I'd never seen Daughtry in concert til this week, but they KICKED ASS! They brought it, 150%! Thoroughly impressed with the show, if you see them next time they come thru here, you're absolutely in for a good show!

As you may have heard, DAKOTA FANNING goes to a regular high school now...Campbell Hall Episcopal School in North Hollywood. She's also a cheerleader. Check her out during a football game on Friday night...


--It would appear that the other girls holding her up look a little peeved, don't they?! Wonder if Dakota is a lil beyotch....

JUSTIN...DON'T YA WANNA BE A GOD?!
A woman JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE got a restraining order against recently is fighting back...but not very convincingly.

Karen McNeil filed legal documents on Friday claiming she's a GOD...and she wants Justin to rule with her. She also says she's the target of, quote, "Babylon witches" who are trying to cast evil upon her.

For some reason, she thought it would be helpful to also mention that other musicians have successfully obtained restraining orders against her...including AXL ROSE and the guys from METALLICA.








NOW YOU'RE IN NEWWWWW YAWWWWWWWWWK....
Yes, Tribe fans, the DAMN YANKESS won the World Series AGAIN...and, appropriate timing, JAY-Z has released the video for his New York City song, "Empire State of Mind", along with Miss Alicia Keys.

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=100284528

JAY-Z and ALICIA KEYS will record a sequel to their New York City song, "Empire State of Mind". It'll be called "Empire State of Mind, Part 2"...and it'll appear on Alicia's next album, "Element of Freedom".

That disc is scheduled to drop on December 15th.





GLOW IN THE DARK LINGERIE?! IT'S TRUE...
http://www.glowinthedarklingerie.com.au/boudoir-glow-in-the-dark-lingerie-gallery/
Enter glow-in-the-dark LINGERIE by an Australian company called LuminoGlow.

Apparently, LuminoGlow launched about two years ago, and they've just come out with a new collection of glow-in-the-dark underwear called Boudoir.
It goes on sale next week.








HERE ARE NINE TIPS TO MAKE YOU BETTER AT FLIRTING:
I'm going to assume you have at least SOME clue as to what you're doing when it comes to flirting. But it never hurts to review the basics, in hopes of improving your game. With that in mind, here are nine flirting tips you probably already know, but may need refreshing:

#1.) Confidence: The key to good flirting is confidence. Whatever you can do to improve your confidence...whether it's losing weight or getting a new haircut...do it. The sexier you feel, the sexier you'll come across to others.

#2.) Posture: If you're choosing between two dates that are equal in every way, except one has great posture while the other slouches...which one would you choose?

#3.) Grooming: You may think you know what you're doing. But if you have bad breath, B.O., or greasy hair, it's going to make it a lot more difficult for you to hook up.

#4.) Contact: A little physical contact can go a long way in flirting. Nothing too forward, just a light touch or even a brush is all it takes.

#5.) Eye contact: If you do it right, one flirtatious look can get you just as far as an entire night of talking.

#6.) Hair: Here's a secret, ladies...guys love your hair. And if you're tossing it around, or touching it, you're going to keep a man's attention.

#7.) Attention: There's nothing sexier than having a conversation with an attractive person that's not only intelligent and engaging, but also genuinely interested in what you have to say.

#8.) Body language: Studies have found that when you mirror another person's body language, it helps put them at ease.

#9.) Smile: Flirting is supposed to be fun. And if you're smiling and having fun, other people are going to find you much more attractive.







THE JAY LENO SHOW...ABOUT TO GO BYE-BYE??
You have to feel for CONAN O'BRIEN. He waited five years for JAY LENO to retire so that he could take over "The Tonight Show"...only Jay didn't retire, he just moved to an earlier timeslot to host, essentially, another "Tonight Show".

And as if that didn't screw Conan enough...in a candid new interview with "Broadcasting & Cable", Jay says that he wishes he could've kept his job, and that he'd return to the "Tonight Show" if NBC asked him to. (!!!)

When Jay was asked if he regretted agreeing to retire back in 2004...and his later decision to do his new show with NBC at 10:00 P.M., he says, quote, "Would I have preferred to stay at 11:30? Yeah, sure. I would have preferred that.

"I think it's too soon to say whether I regret anything or not. My thing is, I did 'The Tonight Show' for 17 years...now you try this and you see what happens. Do I enjoy the battle? Yes, I get a certain amount of satisfaction from pounding my head against the wall."

Jay, of course, is referring to the bad press "The Jay Leno Show" has received...both for clogging up NBC's 10:00 P.M. timeslot, and not differing enough from his version of "The Tonight Show". And the show's ratings aren't impressing anyone.

Jay says that he doesn't take satisfaction in the fact that Conan's "Tonight Show" numbers are lower than his were...but he would retake his old job, if asked to.

He says, quote, "If it were offered to me, would I take it? If that's what they wanted to do, sure. That would be fine if they wanted to."

And when asked if he'd RATHER do that than his new show, he says, quote, "It's not my decision to make...it's really not. I don't know. Something makes me think we might be OK [with 'The Jay Leno Show'] for a while.

"It depends how long you're here; by that time I could be 61 [or] 62, I don't know. Personally, I think Conan is doing fine. It's a little too early to tell."

In the same article, Jay also refuses to trash DAVID LETTERMAN over his sex scandal...

Jay says, "Dave has never set himself up as [a model citizen]. If it were me, it would kill me. I'm the guy who's been married 29 years. But Dave has never pretended to be Mr. Moral America, he's never set himself up that way. He's not a hypocrite."


-----An interesting local perspective on this from WKYC Channel 3's Frank Macek. His blog, Director's Cut, offers a behind-the-scenes look at what happenes at Channel 3, and he's discussing Leno this weekend, check it out:

BEYONCE DOES ABC...
BEYONCE will be the subject of an hour-long ABC special called "Beyonce: I Am...Yours" on Thanksgiving night, starting at 9:00 P.M.

It'll include footage from her upcoming live CD / DVD...called "I Am...Yours: An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas", which was recorded back in August. It hits stores on November 23rd, the Monday before Thanksgiving.








SO, WHAT'S KANYE UP TO?...
KANYE WEST has been laying low...very low, in fact, ever since he cancelled his Fame Kills tour with LADY GAGA.

Kanye said he needed a break following his freak-out on TAYLOR SWIFT at the "VMAs". But it sounds like he may be working in the studio.


A British musician named MR HUDSON...who worked with Kanye recently (remember the single "Paranoid"? It's on his 808's & Heartbreak disc)...says, quote, "I saw him a couple of weeks ago and he was keeping a low profile, which is sensible. Kanye's getting back into rapping.

"He might make an old-school record on a tape deck, like the Beastie Boys used to do. Just a drum machine, ghetto blaster and a microphone."







AMA PERFORMERS...
EMINEM will perform at the American Music Awards on Sunday, November 22nd on ABC. Previously announced performers include: Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, the Black Eyed Peas, Kelly Clarkson and Adam Lambert.
Can't wait, it's gonna be a good show!






RANDOM TRIVIA FOR FUTURE USE:
TAYLOR SWIFT has steamrolled over another record. Her self-titled debut album is now the longest charting album of this century...in any genre. It was released in October of 2006 and has now been on the "Billboard" Top 200 for 157 straight weeks.


The previous record was Nickelback's, "All the Right Reasons", which spent 156 weeks on the chart.







THE FIVE RELATIONSHIP MILESTONES THAT COUPLES OVERLOOK:
We all know the classic relationship milestones: the first kiss, meeting someone's family, moving in together, and of course...the first time you exchange bodily fluids. Not necessarily in that order.

But according to "Happen" magazine, there are five OTHER relationship milestones that are just as important...only they get a lot less attention.

#1.) The first time you see each other naked AFTER sex: Usually before you have sex with someone, you are so caught up in the excitement of it all that you don't really scrutinize their body. But after the deed is done, things become much clearer.

#2.) The first time one of you isn't in the mood: Relationships are easy when you can't WAIT to get home and get in bed. But if you want to know where your relationship REALLY stands, see how the other person reacts the first time you're not in the mood.

#3.) The first time you go downtown without asking for anything in return: If you're happy to give oral favors, and you really don't care if you get them in return . . . well then you've got yourself a committed relationship.

#4.) Your first discussion about birth control: If you're in a sexual relationship...or you hope to be in the near future...then the topic of birth control is bound to come up. And while it's not always the easiest discussion to have, it IS necessary.

#5.) The first time you try something REALLY dirty: You probably won't celebrate the anniversary of the first time you went for the no-go hole. But there's no denying the first time you do something really dirty is a relationship milestone.







KATY CURES...
KATY PERRY has cured RUSSELL BRAND of being a MANWHORE.

Russell says, quote, "I am living in a different way at the moment. Regardless of what happens in my current situation, I am unlikely to be satisfied with the calamitous promiscuity of the preceding five or six years."






QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
"I think we must all remember that the ultimate accessory is the condom." -Lady Gaga







TAYLOR HOSTS SNL TONIGHT!!
TAYLOR SWIFT is hosting "Saturday Night Live" this weekend...and if you thought there was a chance that she might want to avoid any KANYE WEST jokes, think again.

That's because "The Kanye West Incident" has ALREADY been invoked.

In a promo with "SNL" cast member BILL HADER...Taylor says, quote, "Hey, I'm Taylor Swift, and I'll be the host and musical guest this week on 'SNL'."

Then Bill, who was on his cell phone, cuts in, and says, quote, "Whoops, Kanye West just called. He thinks Beyoncé should host instead. Funny joke, right?" (You can watch it at this link...)
http://www.mtv.com/videos/news/453041/taylor-swift-snl-promo-pokes-fun-at-kanye-incident.jhtml

Taylor also tells MTV News that she's up for anything. She says, quote, "I want to look nothing like myself. I told all the writers, 'Don't count anything out.' I want to go completely, 100% in. I don't want to be halfway involved.

"Just because I have a lot of things to do as far as being musical guest and host doesn't mean I don't want to live up to my full hosting demands."







MARIAH IS CANDY-COATED, AND OH-SO-SWEET!
MARIAH CAREY was on the beach Wednesday, filming a video for her new single, "H.A.T.E.U." And she wore a couple different bathing suits that revealed a delectable and oh-so-edible CANDY COATING.

I'm sure that all manner of computer technology will be used to slim Mariah down before the finished video is released...and that's a TRAGEDY for chubby chasers the world over.

Luckily we have some pictures from the shoot that show Mariah as she truly is...A very sexy REAL woman with REAL curves.

RIHANNA/CHRIS BROWN - GMA INTERVIEW...
In part one of her three-part interview on "Good Morning America" yesterday, RIHANNA admitted that she went back to CHRIS BROWN after he assaulted her.

She said, quote, "I stayed. I even went back after he beat me, which was wrong. But...I'm a human being, and people put me on a very unrealistic pedestal. And all these expectations, I'm not perfect.

"Also it's pretty natural for that to be the first reaction...It's completely normal to go back. You start lying to yourself. The minute the physical wounds go away you want this thing to go away. This is a memory you don't want to have ever again."

But Rihanna eventually made the decision to leave Chris...because she didn't want to send a message to young girls that it's okay to tolerate abuse.

She said, quote, "When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result into some young girl getting killed, I could not be easy with that part. Even if Chris never hit me again, who's to say that their boyfriend won't?

"Who's to say that they won't kill these girls? These are young girls. I just didn't realize how much of an impact I had on these girls' lives until that happened.

"It was a wake-up call for me big time. I'll say that to any young girl who's going through domestic violence. Don't react off of love. Eff love.

"Come out of the situation and look at it [in the] third person and for what it really is and then make your decision. Because love is so blind."







DUMB CRIMINAL NEWS!!!!!
This is for my girl Heather, who lives in Appleton! Now it's time to recognize our Idiot Criminal of the Day...20-year-old Andrew Burwitz of Appleton, Wisconsin (about 30 miles southwest of Green Bay).

At around 2:00 A.M. Monday morning, Andrew got into his car and committed two DRIVE-BY SHOOTINGS.

One of the homes he shot up belonged to the family of his ex-girlfriend. The other he apparently picked at random. Fortunately, no one was injured.

But the real beauty of this story is that before he started shooting, this bonehead forgot to roll down the window. And when he pulled the trigger, the glass shattered all over the street.

So the police collected the broken glass and brought it to a bunch of different auto glass repair shops in the area. Eventually, they happened upon one that had replaced Andrew's window as part of an insurance claim.

Long story short, Andrew was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment, endangering safety by reckless use of a firearm, disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property. He's being held on $25,000 bond.

The cops think alcohol may have been a factor.
