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.

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!
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:

#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

#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.

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)

#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...
http://video.hollywoodreporter.com/services/player/bcpid6555681001?bctid=53727563001
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.
ROLLING STONE LISTS THEIR TOP TUNEAGE OF THE DECADE...
#1.) "Crazy", GNARLS BARKLEY
#2.) "99 Problems", JAY-Z
#3.) "Crazy in Love", BEYONCÉ

http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/31248926/100_best_songs_of_the_decade/27
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...)
http://www.weezer.com/blog/default.aspx?nid=23973
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
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)

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...
http://video.hollywoodreporter.com/services/player/bcpid6555681001?bctid=53727563001
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.
ROLLING STONE LISTS THEIR TOP TUNEAGE OF THE DECADE...
#1.) "Crazy", GNARLS BARKLEY
#2.) "99 Problems", JAY-Z
#3.) "Crazy in Love", BEYONCÉ
#4.) "Hey Ya!", OUTKAST
#5.) "Paper Planes", M.I.A.

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??

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!!
BLACK EYED PEAS ANNOUNCE TOUR...AND WE GET THE SHAFT :(

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.

There are LOTS of other categories...peep them here:
http://content.grammy.com/grammy_awards/52nd_show/list.aspx
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.
