MID-WEEK UPDATE SPECIAL!

WHAT THE...?
BILLY RAY CYRUS has already taken enough abuse for letting MILEY grow up too fast. You'd think he'd exert a little more control over Miley's 9-year-old sister, NOAH. Apparently not.

Little Noah went to a Halloween party thrown by JAMIE LEE CURTIS over the weekend...wearing some kind of SLUTTY GOTH costume.

I don't think I'm overreacting here. At least not much. Her costume honestly looked like something a college girl wears to the bars...and then has to pick up off the floor of some random guy's bedroom the next morning.

KIDS BEHAVING BADLY...(FORMER KIDS??)
By now we've all heard how JODIE SWEETIN...who played the adorable Stephanie Tanner on "Full House"...grew up to become a hardcore drug addict.

Well, Jodie has a new book coming out next week called "unSweetened". And in it, she admits that she once snorted coke right before lecturing college students on the importance of staying sober.

She says, quote, "I was back to partying like I was at my worst, spending seven hundred dollars a week on meth, coke.

"I thought for sure that one of the professors would take one look at me and kick me out. But none did. They wanted to hear about the trials and tribulations of Jodie Sweetin, or at least the Jodie Sweetin I had created."

Jodie also says she got drunk, vomited, and had to be carried out of co-star CANDACE CAMERON'S wedding in 1996. She was only 14 at the time. (!!!)

And she was high on meth at the premiere of the OLSEN TWINS' 2004 flick, "New York Minute".

Here's some cool Jodie Sweetin trivia for you: Jodie was adopted at 9 months old. Her real mom was a drug addict...and her dad was killed in a PRISON RIOT.








PARANORMAL ACTIVITY...
"Paranormal Activity" just keeps getting bigger. And so now, we get the inevitable: "Paranormal Activity 2" is on the drawing board. Nothing is official yet, but the studio is discussing the possibility.

"Paranormal Activity" cost about $15,000 to make...and has already earned $62.5 million.







THAT'S ALL FOLKS...

AMA PERFORMERS LINED UP SO FAR...
Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and Chris Daughtry's band, Daughtry. And rumor has it RIHANNA will sing, too.

Other previously announced performers include: JAY-Z, Alicia Keys, the Black Eyed Peas and Jennifer Lopez.








54% OF MARRIED PEOPLE HAVE NEVER EVEN CONSIDERED AN AFFAIR:
There's a new survey out in the UK about infidelity, and I'd like to THINK the results would be similar here...
The survey asked readers who were parents a bunch of questions about sex and infidelity. They polled about 1,640 people...748 women and 892 men...and here's what they found:


--44% said that they had sex once a week or more.

--32% said they had sex two-to-four times a month.

--10.5% said they did the deed several times a year.

--And 2% said they had sex every day...while another 2% said they NEVER had sex. (Which leaves 9.5% unaccounted for.)


--But here's where it gets interesting. Remember, these people are PARENTS:


--28% admitted they had fantasized about an affair, and 8.2% had considered having one.

--3.6% had begun an affair...while 2.4% had ended one.

--But 54% said they had never even CONSIDERED having an affair. (3.8% are unaccounted for.)

That seems like a lot. But according to Dr. Lauren Rosewarne, an Australian professor who wrote a book about cheating, it's only because circumstances haven't presented themselves yet.
Dr. Rosewarne says, quote, "The thought is more likely to enter someone's head after they have met the person they would like to cheat with...People cheat to feel younger, different or challenged."







LEONA LEWIS IS DATING AN ELECTRICIAN...AND IT BOTHERS HER THAT PEOPLE THINK SHE'S TOO GOOD FOR HIM
LEONA LEWIS has been dating the same guy since before she was famous. His name is Lou Al-Chamaa, and he's an electrician.

And if you think Leona shouldn't be dating an electrician just because she's a famous pop star now, she's got something to tell you.

She says, quote, "I find it very offensive. It's offensive to him...implying he's not good enough for [me] anymore. But also to [me], saying [I'm] so shallow [I'd] dump him when [I] became famous.

"It's like, seriously? This is real life, it isn't make-believe. For people to think that you should leave someone because, all of the sudden, you're a singer and you have opportunities. I feel very sorry for them.

"It does make me angry. Because he's a great person. And it doesn't matter what you do in life, what your job is, where you come from. None of that matters to me. What matters is who you are as a person...nothing else."







T. SWIFT IS DATING WHO?!?!?!?!???????
Your hot new (alleged) couple of the week is...TAYLOR SWIFT and "New Moon" stud TAYLOR LAUTNER. The two of them hit a Los Angeles Kings hockey game together on Sunday night. (She's 19. He won't be 18 until February.)

After the game, they were seen going into the Beverly Wilshire Hotel...but nobody saw them come out. (Here are some pics of them out on the town Sunday...)

"EMPIRE STATE OF MIND" AT YANKEES GAME...
JAY-Z and ALICIA KEYS will perform their song "Empire State of Mind" at Yankee Stadium tomorrow night just before Game One of the World Series between the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies. (She'll also do the national anthem.)

Jay-Z landed the gig last week, but he had to wait for the Yankees to dispose of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. He says, quote, "The whole time we knew we had the performance. We knew we had the performance last week.

"I think it was 3-to-1 [in favor of the Yankees] at the time. [The Yankees] lost that game to make it 3-to-2. I was like, 'Man!' I had to come in [the stadium] with the stage and all that. I was like, 'Man, these guys gotta come on.' It was almost selfish."







WOULD YOU HAND OUT BACON-FLAVORED GUMBALLS FOR HALLOWEEN?
This Halloween, you can hand out "regular" candy just like everyone else. Or you can break the mold and pass out some "less traditional" Halloween treats.

And I don't mean apples and toothbrushes. That's lame. I'm talking about stuff like THIS.

Bacon-flavored gumballs...
Garlic mints . . .
Zit Poppers, which are oversized acne bumps filled with candy pus...
Human Dog Food, which is candy kibble in a mini bowl...
And Scorpion Pops, which are just like regular lollipops, only they have a dead scorpion in the center.

YOU CAN BUY MATCHING SLUTTY HALLOWEEN COSTUMES FOR YOU AND YOUR DOG:
Admit it, ladies...the reason you love Halloween so much is because it gives you the chance to dress up like a skank. It's okay, that's why we ALL love Halloween.

And now, thanks to a website called SpoiledRottenDoggies.com, you can buy matching Halloween costumes for you and your DOG, so you can BOTH dress up like sluts this year.

THERE'S A DATING WEBSITE JUST FOR "BEAUTIFUL" PEOPLE:
The great thing about online dating is that it exposes you to all kinds of new and interesting people. The problem is that so many of them are just plain UGLY.

Enter BeautifulPeople.com...an online dating site that's exclusively for good-looking people.

In fact, if you want to join BeautifulPeople.com, you have to submit a picture first. And only after the site's existing members have deemed you "attractive enough" are you allowed to set up a profile.

It sounds pretty shallow, right?

But according to the site's managing director, quote, "There's nothing shallow in wanting to be with someone you're attracted to...People are fed up wasting time and money meeting unattractive people on the net."

Overall, BeautifulPeople.com has about 180,000 members...but about five times that number have applied for membership and been DENIED for being too ugly.

You can TRY to sign up for this website here:

HERE ARE 15 SIGNS YOUR BOYFRIEND IS ANNOYING:
Ladies...it's pretty easy to tell if the guy you're dating is a JERK. But there's another group of guys who are almost as bad. No, they won't hit you or call you names. They'll just be needy, inconsiderate, and generally ANNOYING.

With that in mind, here are 15 signs your boyfriend is annoying, according to a website called TheFrisky.com:

#1.) He eats all your food and never replaces it
#2.) He's always doing accents and imitations...like Austin Powers or Borat...but never well
#3.) He always needs to be the center of attention
#4.) He'd rather say something dumb than nothing at all
#5.) He breaks wind in public and thinks it's HI-LARIOUS
#6.) He never cleans up after himself
#7.) He repeats the same tired joke over and over until you start laughing
#8.) He pokes fun of your insecurities or reveals your secrets when he thinks he can get a laugh out of it
#9.) He has a catchphrase
#10.) He chews with his mouth open
#11.) He interrupts you when you're working, talking on the phone, or sleeping
#12.) Your friends have started avoiding him...and maybe even YOU too
#13.) He plays the "sensitive guy" card when he wants your attention
#14.) He answers the phone even when you're in the middle of something important
#15.) He always has to have the last word...even when he's clearly WRONG.

Ladies, what does YOUR guy do that annoys you? 330-450-9292 after 7 tonight!

WEEKEND UPDATE: OCT 24 & 25

Let's dive right into it, shall we....


JOHN MAYER IN THE GAY BARS...SCANDALOUS!
JOHN MAYER shot down rumors that some dude kissed him...on the lips...at a gay club last week.

On Twitter, he said, quote, "Rumor check: Went to gay bar in Palm Springs, yes. Had a blast. Danced my face off. Someone there planted a kiss on me? No."

He added, quote, "I don't like the story painting gays as unable to control themselves. Found the crowd even more respectful than in a straight club. You know who the most flamboyant crowd is? Straight, drunk girls. They're like a bunch of little Charles Nelson Reillys."








CARRIE TWEETS? EHHH, NO.
If you've been following CARRIE UNDERWOOD on Twitter, then you've been pranked...because Carrie says it's not her, it's just somebody who's been posing as Carrie on Twitter.

In fact, Carrie actually fears the whole Twitter thing. She says, quote, "It just sounds like organized stalking to me. I'll be in a restaurant and I'll get home and somebody tweeted and talked about what I ordered and what I was wearing.

"In some cases that could be dangerous because you don't want everybody to know where you are in every second of every day."








SMALLER POTATOES?
People...a tragedy has occurred right under our noses. BRITNEY SPEARS has been losing weight...and most people think she looks BETTER these days. But there's a problem: A lot of the weight she lost CAME FROM HER CHEST!!!
Britney hit the beach in Mexico over the weekend...and her breasts looked A LOT smaller than usual.

The ass looks good though, don't it?!









MORE ON THE TLC REUNION...
There's been a lot of talk about a possible TLC reunion. At first, it sounded pointless...since it'd obviously have to be without the late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes.

But now, it's sounding much more VITAL to all our lives. Surviving members, TIONNE "T-BOZ" WATKINS and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, say TLC is reactivating to make the world a better place.

Chilli says, quote, "When people say, 'coming back together,' we've always been together. We're always TLC. We're not the former members of TLC. This is TLC right here, no new people in the group. It's just T-Boz and Chilli."

She adds that, without TLC, today's music doesn't have any backbone. "[TLC] is needed, I think, with the lyrics today. You just listen to the radio, and it's like the beats are hot, but the lyrics aren't there.

"I think that inspires us to go back in and come up with songs that continue to change people's lives for the better."

No word WHEN they'll be releasing this planet-altering material.









WHAT THE HELL IS UP AT THE WEATHER CHANNEL?!
Well it's not the weather! Beginning next Friday, the Weather Channel will be supplementing their usual programming with MOVIES. All the movies will be "weather-themed" or "have plots in which weather plays a key role."

The first movie is "The Perfect Storm". Subsequent ones will be the documentary, "March of the Penguins, "Deep Blue Sea", and "Misery" (which has a snowstorm in it).

Whatever happened to GIVING YOU THE WEATHER?!

WEEZY COULD BE HEADED TO THE SLAMMER...
LIL WAYNE settled his weapons case yesterday...and he's going to jail. Wayne agreed to plead GUILTY to a felony count of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree. In exchange, he accepted a one-year prison sentence.

He previously had pleaded not guilty to more serious charges of weapons possession and possession of a loaded weapon.

Back in 2007, New York police boarded Wayne's tour bus following a concert. The cops claimed they smelled pot...but in their search, they found a loaded .40-caliber pistol. Later, DNA evidence reportedly linked the gun to Lil Wayne.

Just so you know, the cops DID discover some weed on the bus...and arrested another unnamed man for possession of marijuana.

The trial was set to begin in January. If he'd been convicted of the original charges, he was looking at between three-and-a-half and 15 years in the clink.

He'll remain free on a previous bond of $30,000...although he had to give up his passport.

Technically, Wayne won't be sentenced until February, but it sounds like the one-year sentence is definite...although with good behavior, it'll likely end up being something in the neighborhood of eight to 10 months.

Wayne has yet to issue a comment on the plea. As he was exiting the courthouse, reporters were asking him all kinds of questions...but his only response was, quote, "What's up?"

All that being said...Lil Wayne is still not straight with the legal system. He's still facing felony drug possession and weapons charges from another tour bus raid. This one happened in Arizona last year.

Authorities there allegedly found 105 grams of marijuana...29 grams of cocaine...41 grams of ecstasy...various drug paraphernalia and a handgun.

Wayne has pleaded not guilty to the Arizona charges...and his trial in that case is scheduled to begin in March.

WEEKEND UPDATE: OCTOBER 16-17-18

HOLY WEEKEND!
....that makes it sound religious.
Well, KELLY CLARKSON is in town, so it IS like a holiday! The restraining order is fully in effect!
....I kid, I kid, someone actually called and asked me last weekend if I really had a restraining order and I do not...but funny that you actually think that to be the case.
or maybe its sad?
ANYWAY, Kelly, tomorrow (Saturday) at the Covelli Centre in Ytown...some tickets still available!

SUNDAY UPDATE: Kelly show rocked last night, I think the Columbus show was just a weeeeee bit better back in the summer, she was much more talkative to the audience then...crowd was a little weak last night (except for the screaming of the girl behind me), I gotta tell ya...one of my favorite parts was when Kelly did "Seven Nation Army" during the encore. That was great as was the mash-up of the Alanis and Kings Of Leon tunes...goooooood stuff!
Did you go? Whatcha think? Drop me a note or shoot me a call this afternoon from 3 to 7!

MORE LETTERMAN STUFF....
The "New York Post" reports that DAVID LETTERMAN took his mistress, STEPHANIE BIRKITT, on vacations with his wife, REGINA LASKO, and their son Harry.

Obviously, Regina thought nothing of it at the time...especially since other friends and co-workers would come along, too. But looking back on it now, she's pretty upset.

The official line on Letterman's infidelities has always been that they were before he and Regina were married, and before Harry was born. But it's starting to sound more and more like this affair didn't end until recently.

As we all know, the whole thing came to light because Birkitt's angry ex-boyfriend Robert Halderman...a producer for CBS's "48 Hours"...allegedly tried to blackmail Dave over it.

Various sources are saying that Halderman first found out about the affair in December...but he decided to stay with Birkitt after she promised to break things off with Dave.

But then Halderman found the two of them making out in a parked car in the driveway of the Connecticut house where Halderman and Birkitt were living.

So he dumped her and cooked up the extortion plot...not for the money, but for REVENGE.






USHER...BABY-MAMA DRAMA!
USHER filed a police report on Friday, claiming that his estranged wife, TAMEKA, scratched up his truck after they got into an argument on the phone over custody of their kids.

Police investigated, but didn't find any evidence that Tameka had anything to do with it. Tameka's rep says she wouldn't have scratched the truck, because it's in HER NAME.






DRAKE IS READY TO WRITE AGAIN...
"Best I Ever Had" by Drake has been out for months, but we still have no CD from him. He was in the middle of writing it when he fell and busted his leg at a show in July.
DRAKE is almost fully recovered from the knee surgery he had last month, and he's ready to get back to work on his upcoming debut album, "Thank Me Later".


Drake is hoping to have the album ready for a February release.

He flew out to Los Angeles last weekend to get a change of scenery...because he couldn't write much while he was stuck at home waiting for his knee to heal.

He said, quote, "I've been out of the scene for so long because I've been off my leg. Sitting at home in your apartment and having a doctor come over every day and eating healthy and going to the gym...there's not much of a rap album to be made off that.

"I have to get my inspiration and start seeing things and going to dinners and meeting people again and just finding stories to tell for this album."







TOP 5 FEMALE SEXUAL FANTASIES...
Guys, we may think we're the only ones with perverted sexual fantasies. But the truth is that women are just as filthy-minded as men. I, for one, am perfectly OK with this. And the stuff that turns them on is just as taboo.

Listen to the top five female sex fantasies, according to a female "sexpert" from the website GetFrank.com:

#1.) Making a sex tape: If this one IS true, you're probably wondering why your girl shot down the idea when you brought out the video camera.

Well, some women are worried they won't look good on camera. And some are worried their documented grind session will make its way to the Internet. Let's face it...it's a legitimate concern.


#2.) Having a sex slave: Believe it or not, the idea of having someone take care of their every sexual whim actually appeals to most women. Shocking news, right?


#3.) Sex with two men: Guess what, guys? You're not the only ones who fantasize about a threesome. But just like you, she's thinking about doing the nasty with multiple partners of the OPPOSITE sex...meaning two DUDES.


#4.) Sex in public: Whether you're a man or a woman, the thrill of getting caught with your pants down is pretty universal.


#5.) Safe rape: I know, it seems messed up that women would fantasize about RAPE. But, apparently, some women like the "safe rape" scenario because it frees them up to do dirty things they wouldn't otherwise...because "it's not her fault."







I DO *NOT* BUY THIS....
A recent survey found that the average guy molests himself about two or three times a WEEK. OK, that part I totally believe. But listen to THIS insanity...

According to a recent survey from PsychologyToday.com, nearly TWO in FIVE women...or 38%...say they've only performed "manual relations" ONE TIME in the last YEAR.

ONE TIME?!?! I don't buy that for a second...you're probably just too embarassed to admit it...come on, it's ok!






IN CASE YOU WONDERED FILE...
ABC has ordered full seasons for four of their new shows: "FlashForward", "Modern Family", "Cougar Town" and "The Middle". That is all.






KATY P: UNPLUGGED
So MTV decided to invite KATY PERRY to record one of their "Unplugged" sessions earlier this year...and the results are about to be unleashed.

"MTV Unplugged: Katy Perry" will hit stores on November 17th. It'll be a CD / DVD set, which includes rearranged versions of "Waking Up in Vegas", "Thinking of You" and her TIMELESS classic, "I Kissed a Girl".

There's also a previously unreleased track called "Brick By Brick" and "Hackensack", a FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE cover. The DVD will include exclusive interview footage.







MARIAH'S BDAY CAKE FOR NICK CANNON...

CHRISTINA AGUILERA...
I hear we can expect a new CD from her early next year. This little tidbit of Xtina-ness hit the 'net the other day:
She says: "If I had a choice between viewing a naked man or a naked woman, I'd choose the woman. We're just naturally sexier and more beautiful to look at."
YEAH!!!!!

X-tina...who bursts many a lesbian's bubble by adding, quote, "I'm attracted to men ultimately...I'm married and I love my husband and I love what we do together."






RIHANNA: THE WAIT IS OVER...
The wait is over!!! For whatever it was that we were waiting for. (???) Yesterday, RIHANNA opened up a Twitter account and posted this message: "The Wait Is Ova. Nov 23 09." The same message appears on her official website.

Everyone is assuming that this is the release date for her next album, but no one has confirmed that yet. Last week, her producer, Tricky Stewart said that he thought Rihanna's album would be out before the end of the year.

But he also said they hadn't recorded anything for it yet.

I don't believe that...from what I hear, we're getting a new Rihanna single THIS WEEK on Q92...maybe I'm not even allowed to tell you that...oops! Just be listening (probably Tuesday)!

ABC has confirmed that RIHANNA will perform on "Good Morning America" on November 23rd. She'll be singing the first single from her next album.




MISS JACKSON IF YA NASTY...
On November 17th, JANET JACKSON will release a greatest hits compilation called "Number Ones". That's the same title as the MICHAEL JACKSON hits disc that's been selling like crazy ever since he died back in June.

Janet's "Number Ones" will feature 33 songs...drawing from her debut album, "Control", all the way up through her recent single, "Make Me".







SOCIAL NETWORKING SHTUFF...
FACEBOOK USERS ARE WEALTHIER THAN MYSPACE USERS


Something happened a few years ago on the Internet when millions of people stopped using the "cyber ghetto" that is MySpace, and started using Facebook instead.

At least it SEEMS like that's what happened, considering a new study has found that Facebook users are WEALTHIER than MySpace users.

According to the study, 23% of Facebook users have a yearly income of at least $100,000. But just 16% of MySpace users make that much.

At the same time, 37% of MySpace users earn less than $50,000, while just 28% of Facebook users do.

Overall, rich people are 25% more likely to use Facebook than MySpace, while poor people are 37% more likely to use MySpace than Facebook.





FERGIE LOVES FOOTBALL...GO FERGIE!
The Miami Dolphins are adding yet another celebrity to their list of minority owners.

FERGIE from the BLACK EYED PEAS will join Marc Anthony, Gloria Estefan, Jimmy Buffet and Venus and Serena Williams as part owner of the team.

This is all basically a marketing ploy on the part of the Dolphins to attract a more diverse crowd. You're not going to see Fergie making draft picks or anything. Her "ownership" basically just means she'll make appearances at home games...and maybe she'll sing the national anthem at some point.

In related news, RUSH LIMBAUGH has been DUMPED from the group that's trying to buy the St. Louis Rams...because his inclusion was causing too much of a distraction to their efforts.







MORE IN CASE YOU WONDERED...
If you're a huge fan of the Fox Reality Channel...and chances are, you're not...then you'd better enjoy it while it lasts, because it's coming to an end.


Wednesday, Fox announced that the Fox Reality Channel would end its four-year run on March 31st. No specific reason for the cancellation was given. I'm willing to bet they can't sell commercials.







POOR LEONA LEWIS GOT ATTACKED THIS WEEK...
LEONA LEWIS was attacked during an autograph signing Wednesday.


Leona was signing copies of her new autobiography, "Dreams", at a bookstore in London. About an hour and a half into it, a man in line assaulted her.

Some reports say he slapped her...some say he "punched her in the head"...and others say he slapped AND punched her.

One person who was also in line told reporters, quote, "[The man] walked up there with the book, she signed it and, as she looked up, he just punched her. She was running out with her hand over her eye...and I just saw a man on the floor."

The attacker...who has only been described as a 29-year-old male...was immediately taken down by Leona's security team. He was later arrested on "suspicion of assault." As of last night, he was still in custody.

No one seems to have any idea WHY this happened. According to witnesses, the man didn't say anything before hitting her.

Fortunately, Leona is fine. She did go to the hospital, but only "as a precaution."

In a statement, her rep said, quote, "Leona was the victim of an unprovoked attack. The police were called immediately and medical attention has been sought. Leona is understandably shaken and apologizes to the fans she was unable to meet."

Well, big surprise: It turns out the dude is INSANE...literally.
British authorities have confirmed that Kowalczyk is no longer in police custody...instead, he's been involuntarily admitted to a psychiatric ward. He'll remain there until a court hearing on October 26th.











JOHN MAYER-NESS
"New York" magazine asked JOHN MAYER about PRESIDENT OBAMA being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize...in an obvious attempt to fish for a good quote. And they got one.

He said, quote, "What's he going to do, send it back? It's like I'm getting a wrongful bulge in my pants and everyone's thinking I've got a nine-inch (rhymes with sock).

"I'm not going to argue with them, I'm going to let them think I have a nine-inch (rhymes with sock)." He added, quote, "If someone gave me the Nobel Peace Prize, and I didn't deserve it, I would just shut my mouth and enjoy the hell out of it."






TAYLOR SWIFT TO DO "SNL"...
Thursday, NBC announced that TAYLOR SWIFT will be both the host and the musical guest for the November 7th episode of "Saturday Night Live".

("SNL" Fun Fact: Apparently only three other people have pulled double duty like that before. They were Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson and Sting.)

So it's pretty obvious that she'll probably poke fun at KANYE WEST, who rudely interrupted her at the "Video Music Awards" last month.


Well, Taylor is hinting that she might...quote, "I've been thinking about skit ideas for a long time. There are definitely some hilarious things that have happened to me over the past couple of months that I think will be pretty substantial skits."







GAGA ANNOUNCES SOLO TOUR...BUT ITS NOT COMING HERE! :( :(
It'll be called "THE MONSTER BALL", and Cleveland's own KID CUDI is opening for Gaga! That's right, the opener is FROM Cleveland, and so far, no Cleveland date announced! GRRR!
Detroit is the closest...peep the list:

*********2009 AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS NOMINATIONS*********
Yesterday, the nominees for the "37th Annual American Music Awards" were announced...and this year, TAYLOR SWIFT leads the way with SIX nominations. (And since you're probably curious, KANYE WEST received ZERO.)

Coming in second was MICHAEL JACKSON, who scored five nominations, including Artist of the Year and Favorite Male Artist in both the pop / rock AND soul / R&B categories.

He was also nominated for Favorite Album in both those categories...for his greatest hits compilation, "Number Ones", which came out in 2003. (If you're confused, "AMA" nominees are picked based on music sales and radio airplay.)

ABC will air the ceremony live on Sunday, November 22nd. There's no word on a host yet, but JIMMY KIMMEL has done it in five of the past six years.

This year's performers will include: Alicia Keys, the Black Eyed Peas, Jennifer Lopez, and "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert. More acts will likely be announced leading up to the awards.

Once again, the winners will be chosen by YOU. Voting is open NOW at AMAvote.com. You'll have to provide an email address to register before casting your vote. (Here's the direct link...)

WKND. UPDATE: OCTOBER 10 & 11

Tell me, tell me whatcha say...wha-wha-wha-wha-what didcha saaaaaaay....
HOLA! Happy weekend, thanks for listening to Q92, and peepin' this here lil' blog. Big things are happening....read on....

KATY PERRY AND RUSSELL BRAND....LOVERS?!
KATY PERRY may be nailing British "comedian" RUSSELL BRAND. Both of them blogged recently about having a great time vacationing in Thailand...although neither of them said anything about being with the other.

More importantly, they were photographed together last Friday going to a party in the U.K....and then Saturday morning leaving Russell's apartment.

Well, that was last weekend. Later this past week, they attended a fashion event and made things public. Really Katy? You can do better than this.

GAGA & KANYE...A MUTUAL DECISION
KANYE WEST and LADY GAGA'S joint Fame Kills tour was suddenly cancelled without explanation. It's still unclear exactly WHY it was shut down, but Gaga now claims they reached the decision together.

She says, quote, "It was a mutual decision to cancel the tour. Kanye's going to take some time off. But the good news is that I'm going on tour in a few weeks."

Gaga says her solo tour will kick off just "a week later" than November 10th, when the tour with Kanye was supposed to start.

The dates for her new tour have yet to be announced.

Kanye DID say he needed to take a "break" in one of his apologies for his rude outburst at the "MTV Video Music Awards". On the other hand, the timing of that incident may also have also had a negative effect on ticket sales.

For what it's worth, her choreographer, Lori Ann Gibson, said the tour fell apart because of, quote, "creative differences" between Gaga and Kanye.

We haven't heard anything official about that...although Gaga did say, quote, "In respects to the creative work that [Kanye and I] did together, I won't be doing any of the things that we designed for the tour. It will be entirely new."







OLD SCHOOL HIT MUSIC NEWS...
Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins...of TLC...is just now revealing that she was diagnosed with a non-cancerous BRAIN TUMOR three years ago, and has been recovering ever since.

T-Boz tells "People" magazine, quote, "I'd had headaches for six years. I thought it was stress. But when my vision went blurry, I got an MRI."

She had surgery to remove the growth back in 2006, but she almost didn't survive it. After the surgery, there were several complications because T-Boz also suffers from sickle-cell disease.

She explains, quote, "I had a sickle-cell crisis. With the pain meds and steroids, they said I kept flopping and hitting my head. They gave me IV fluids in order to stop it.

"After I was released [from the hospital] more than a week later, the ride to my Los Angeles apartment was like vertigo to the 10th power. I had to sit up in bed for two months. They propped me up, but I kept sliding down, which made my head swell.

"I was readmitted [to the hospital]. I couldn't walk or really see. I heard screeching noises." She then had another surgery...and then she began a long road to recovery, which included, quote, "relearning how to walk and how to say my ABCs."

Recently, T-Boz has been in good health. She even did "Celebrity Apprentice" last spring. So why are we just hearing about all this now??? T-Boz says, quote, "I didn't want pity."









IT'S LEGAL IN FLORIDA TO VIDEOTAPE A WOMAN'S BUTT IN PUBLIC:
Recently, perverts in Florida...by which I mean MEN in Florida...struck a major legal victory. Listen to this...

Last month, 30-year-old Krishna Ajvalia of Tampa, Florida, was arrested for using a hidden video camera to secretly record WOMEN'S BACKSIDES in a local Target store.

But last week, the charges against Krishna were dropped. Why?

According to Tampa's Assistant State Attorney, quote, "To be a crime, the filming must be done in a place where someone would have an expectation of privacy, such as a bathroom or a dressing room, or the filming must be done through or underneath someone's clothing."

In other words, if you feel like videotaping someone's butt in Florida, you're perfectly within your legal rights to do so, as long as it's in public. Who's looking forward to vacation?!








EVACUATE THE DANCEFLOOR....
I'm infected by the sound....







THE FAST FOOD NATION....
Right now, there are roughly 13,000 McDonald's restaurants in the United States alone. That got a visual artist named Stephen Von Worley thinking...

Stephen wanted to know HOW FAR AWAY you could possibly get from the nearest McDonald's restaurant in the lower 48 states.

So Stephen plotted every single McDonald's on a map of the contiguous 48 states. And what did he find?

The furthest you can get from McDonald's is in an area of northwestern South Dakota where the closest McDonald's restaurant is 107 miles away, as the crow flies, and 145 miles away by car.

Check out this map showing all of the Mickey D's in the lower 48....

#1.) He changed
#2.) They were no longer compatible as a couple
#3.) And he cheated


BUT, according to a writer over at Yahoo Shine, there are 11 different reasons why men break up with women. They are:

#3.) He burned out on the relationship
#4.) He was tempted to cheat

#7.) He was feeling selfish
#8.) He misread his own feelings
#9.) His friends or family didn't like her

BIG THINGS HAPPENIN' ON Q92...
I was in yesterday...and out as well...to help DeLuca & Charlotte out. Had a little scavenger hunt with 3 of our finalists, grand prize of a brand new laptop...I'm thinkin' it was an HP? Man, I really don't know! BUT I know it was uber shnazzy. Had 3 refs. from the station to ride along with each contest, but we were only allowed to assist with the directions, thats all. The rest of the hunt was all up to them.
I rode along with Cindy, and SHE WON! 25 out of 30 items collected! Now there were some allegations of cheating, but I can assure you that was not the case! Superior navigation skills from Robbie Mack. I know my way around, and we did a circle around town...made some shortcuts, and a few stops that other contestants probably didn't know about!

I was snapping some pics with the cell as we went along....

And Cindy digging around thru the bucket and only coming up with one...do people not wear lipstick anymore? I would say no.

Roadside trash, outside of Mickey D's (speaking of the fast food nation...the parking lot was full!)

She convinced Norge Cleaners on State St. to switch from country music, to Q92!






ALSO....
Gave away JAY-Z tickets all this past week, AND got Kelsey down to Columbus to see BOYS LIKE GIRLS! She'll meet them backstage as well!
THIS WEEK: You're Included grand prize is KELLY CLARKSON tickets, AND meet & greet passes! Show is next weekend in Youngstown at the Covelli Centre.





BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE....
We're bringing an artist to town that has one of our most popular songs on Q92 right now...
Listen all weekend for hints, and we'll announce it MONDAY!






STILL NOT FINISHED....
This I can give you NO hints about, but listen to Nikolina at 10am Monday....thats all. Just do it.





F.O.B. ENDS THE EMO CUT?
NOT cutting, don't worry, emo kids will still cut themselves!
If FALL OUT BOY bassist PETE WENTZ still has any say in the hairstyle trends of today's youth...the days of the "emo haircut" are coming to an end.

On Sunday night, Fall Out Boy performed with BLINK-182 at Madison Square Garden in New York...and it turned out to be a historic night for emo. Because Blink bassist MARK HOPPUS shaved Pete's hair. (!!!)

Before it went down, Pete told the crowd, quote, "So you guys know Jay-Z's 'Death of Auto-Tune'? This is the death of the emo haircut."

Check out a side-by-side...

Hey Pete...I wouldn't mind "death of 'guyliner'" and "death of guys in girl jeans"...could we work on that next? Thanks!







MTV'S HOTTEST HIP-HOP MC'S....
MTV has completed their annual list of the Hottest MCs in the Game...and this year, JAY-Z edged out LIL WAYNE and DRAKE to come out on top.

Last year, KANYE WEST was #1...with Jay-Z and Lil Wayne coming in second and third, respectively. (Kanye ranked fourth this year.) Here's this year's Top 10:

#10.) RAEKWON

THREE'S A PARTY ON THE CW??
Sources tell "Entertainment Weekly" that there will be a THREESOME on the November 9th episode of "Gossip Girl".

There's no word who'll be involved, but supposedly, you'll see "three major characters having sex...at the same time...in the same bed...together."






INTERESTING FACT:
When the Vikings beat the Packers 30-to-23 last Monday night, Brett Favre became the only quarterback EVER to beat all 32 NFL teams.







"HEROES" NEEDS VIEWERS...
Actually, NBC needs viewers PERIOD. But, in the case of Heroes, the hope is a little girl-on-girl kiss will do the trick! Episode airs this Monday. Of course, HAYDEN PANETTIERE, but sadly her co-star looks more like a man. Bo Bice? Remember him? Kinda looks like him. Hmmmm.

IN CASE YOU NEED TO KNOW...
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE will appear, via satellite, on "The Jay Leno Show" Monday...to do Jay's "Ten @ Ten" segment. Jay will ask his 10 random questions...and Justin will answer them.
Everybody will WANT Jay to ask Justin who he's currently nailing: Jessica Biel of Rihanna. Will he??? Probably not.

WEEKEND UPDATE: OCT. 3 & 4

Happy weekend!
Think the Browns will win tomorrow? Ehhhhhh........... :(
OK, not so happy weekend. But I'm used to that by now!
Went to Blossom on Wednesday night, saw Blink-182 along with Fall Out Boy. In the upper 40's at show time, gotta love that! Wasn't too bad though, and the show was good. FOB was decent, Blink kicked ass! And...for once...it DIDN'T take 90 mins. to get out of the parking lot at Blossom. Actually only about 5 mins. Talk about lucky!!

Here's some stuff.

WHY THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS CANCELLED...
Tyson Ritter busted his leg. Just wanted to let you know...








ARE WOMEN NAMED CHANTELLE THE BIGGEST SLUTS?
This survey took place in the UK and, honestly, I'm not sure if the results would be similar here in the States. But I figured I'd pass THIS along anyway...

Recently, researchers asked 4,000 men and women which NAMES they think are most likely to have sex on the first date.
According to the survey, the ten most promiscuous names for WOMEN are:


#10.) Michelle

#9.) Lisa

#8.) Vicky

#7.) Becky

#6.) Debbie

#5.) Tanya

#4.) Chelsea

#3.) Kelly

#2.) Stacy

#1.) Chantelle


And the ten most promiscuous names for MEN are:

#10.) Callum (???)

#9.) Kevin

#8.) Jason

#7.) Danny

#6.) Gary

#5.) Andy

#4.) Darren

#3.) Steve

#2.) Lee

#1.) Dave







SURPRISING THINGS THAT TURN WOMEN ON...
Women like guys with good looks, muscles, money, and confidence. Everybody knows that. But here are five SURPRISING things that attract women, according to AskMen.com...

#1.) SCARS. Yeah, they're mysterious and fascinating, but researchers in England also say that women associate scars with courage. To a woman, a scar means a guy isn't afraid of confrontation, and he's tough enough to live through it.

#2.) HOUSE PLANTS. Women want men to be nurturing, but it's hard to gauge how nurturing a guy really is while he's trying to get you into bed. So women notice plants. Keeping them alive takes patience, and it shows that a guy's somewhat settled down.

#3.) SWEAT. Researchers at Berkeley found that a chemical in male sweat causes women's hormone levels to go up. So asking a girl out on a jogging date might not be a bad idea. Just don't overdo it. Too much sweat is always a bad thing.

#4.) GRAY HAIR. It used to mean you were old, but now it means you're dignified and experienced. And a recent survey by Match.com found that a whopping 72 percent of women think gray hair is hot.

#5.) GLASSES. According to studies by the University of Stockholm, women are actually more attracted to men WITH glasses than men without. And you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out why: Women think guys with glasses look smarter.





NO SEX IN THE DORM ROOM...
Admit it...when you were in college, or if you are at the moment, the fact that your roommate was "asleep" in the next bed never stopped you from having SEX in your dorm room...

Recently, officials at Tufts University in Massachusetts passed a new rule banning students from having sex in their dorm rooms while their roommate is present.

According to a spokesman with the university's Office of Residential Life and Learning, quote, "There were incidents that occurred last year...where residents of rooms started to feel uncomfortable with what their roommates were doing in the room.

"We want to make perfectly clear that we do not want to hinder someone from engaging in any personal or private activity. But when it becomes uncomfortable for the roommate, we want to have something in place that empowers the residents to have a good conversation with the roommate."

My ex-girlfriends school only allowed overnight stays on the weekends. She used to say "we allow sex, only on the weekends!"

What kind of rules are in place around here? Akron, Kent, Mount?
Any of you ever been busted by a roomie while doing the deed?
Your stories tonight after 7! Comment on here (Facebook) as well






WEEZER & WEEZY
The new WEEZER album, "Raditude"...which hits stores on November 3rd...includes a track that features rapper LIL WAYNE. It's called "Can't Stop Partying".

Singer RIVERS CUOMO says, quote, "He gave it the edge I was looking for. You can hear in his voice, it sounds so dark, like he was gonna get shot or something when he walks out of the studio. [That's] what we were going for."






HOW DO YOU...HOW DO YOU SLEEP?
Now it's time to discuss everyone's favorite subject. No, not SEX. SLEEP.

According to a recent survey, less than ONE in FIVE Americans...or 19%...gets at least eight hours of sleep a night.


45% say they've used medication to help them sleep.

86% say that they have a "side of the bed." But only 46% say that sleeping on the other side of the bed affects their sleep.

And 16% of Americans say that they always sleep in the NUDE.

Here's what's weird about this: 86% of us have a "side of the bed." But 14% of us DON'T. So, those people just sleep on whatever side they happen to land on? Who are these freaks? How does that work? I always sleep on the same side...I don't get it.






PUTTING THE GAGA IS A MAN RUMOR TO BED...
During a gig Tuesday night in Washington, D.C., Gaga showed MASSIVE CAMEL TOE. And it doesn't look like there's any room for a MAN-ROOT in there. Check it...

JT AND JB...SPLITSVILLE?
Are JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE and JESSICA BIEL still together??? Or has Justin ditched Jessica for RIHANNA??? We still don't know the answer...but the rumors are flying.

"People" magazine says Justin and Jessica ARE still together. Their so-called "source" says, quote, "They're together. They're not breaking up. Any time they spend time apart it's because they're working."

As for the Rihanna thing, the source says it's strictly professional...quote, "They're working together. They were in the studio for her album and they'll be going back in again."

The paparazzi even got a picture of Justin and Jessica holding hands after going out to dinner Monday night. They don't necessarily look happy...but is there a law that says they have to in order to still be together??? Here's the pic...

Photobucket

Yeah, holding hands, but she looks like she's pulling him!
Anyway, the not-always-reliable "Star" tabloid says the relationship is on life support...because Jessica found out that Justin is macking Rihanna.

Supposedly, Justin and Rihanna had a, quote, "hot grinding session" at a "VMA" after-party earlier this month...which they ended up taking back to Rihanna's hotel room. Jessica found out a few days later, and she's freaking out.

And finally, "Us Weekly" claims that Justin ended his relationship with Jessica...over the phone...about a month ago.

Of course, neither of these reports would explain why Justin and Jessica were going out to dinner and holding hands THREE DAYS AGO. But the truth doesn't always sell trashy magazines.

Either way, Biel or Ri-Ri...it does NOT suck to be Justin Timberlake!!!






*NSYNC REUNION NOT HAPPENING...
If the BACKSTREET BOYS reunion has you holding out hope that 'N SYNC will follow suit...JC CHASEZ is here to ruin your day.

MTV News recently asked him if there was any chance that 'N Sync will get back together...to do the middle-aged boy band thing that everyone's trying to do these days...and he said NO.

He added, quote, "I keep in touch with all of them. [But we don't want to do it] because we already did that and it was fun, but we're done with it."






SPEAKING OF BOY BANDS...LFO SPLITS AGAIN
They just got back together earlier this summer, did a little tour. Yep, I made fun of them extensively.
And now, they've split up again. But we will always remember those timeless classics. Like "Girl On TV", "Sex U Up", and of course, "Summer Girls"...
R.I.P. Lyte Funky Ones.





JOHN MAYER/T. SWIFT DUET...
Back in the spring, JOHN MAYER tweeted that he dreamt about recording a duet with TAYLOR SWIFT. And then...the dream came true.

The song is called "Half Of My Heart" and it's on John's new album, "Battle Studies", which drops November 17th. Now you know.





DAVE LETTERMAN...
You've all heard about this by now. You know it was an inside job, a guy that worked on 48 Hours. What came out last night, is that he was living with and presumably dating the girl who Letterman was with....Stephanie!
I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! Take a look at this...






JON & KATE DEBAUCHERY...
TLC has been forced to suspend production on "Jon and Kate Plus Eight"...after JON GOSSELIN sent them cease-and-desist letters, and posted a sign in front of his home banning the show's camera crews from entering.

One of the letters reads, quote, "Effective immediately, no production crews are to enter Jon's family home for any reason. In the event that anyone enters the marital property, Jon Gosselin will notify the local authorities to effectuate police action against any trespassers."

A second letter explains that Jon is doing this FOR THE KIDS.

It reads, quote, "Jon Gosselin unequivocally believes that his children's continued participation in your client's television production is 'detrimental' to his children.

"Accordingly, Jon expects that your client will cease and desist from any and all further production which includes his eight children."

And here's a picture of the sign posted at the home, which includes two misspellings: Penalty is spelled "P-E-N-E-L-T-Y" and his name has TWO errors, it's written as "J-O-H-N-A-T-H-O-N" instead of "J-O-N-A-T-H-A-N...???...

Photobucket

Of course, the timing of all this doesn't seem random at all. Earlier this week, TLC announced that they would be reducing Jon's role on the show and re-launching it next month as just "Kate Plus Eight".

Even then, TLC said they would be retaining their "exclusive relationship with Jon," and that he would still be making "occasional appearances" on the show. However, they were shifting the focus to, quote, "Kate's new life as a single mother."

There's talk that all this took Jon by surprise...and INFURIATED him. But "sources" tell TMZ that Jon has been trying to get out of his "exclusive" contract with TLC for MONTHS now, to do another show.

There was a rumor a while back that Jon was developing a reality show called "The Divorced Dads Club" with LINDSAY LOHAN'S fame-hungry dad, MICHAEL.

A so-called "friend close to Jon" now tells Fox News, quote, "He's really diving into [that] idea. Michael has been a friend and adviser through the scandal, and they have mutual friends. Lawyers and publicists are working on meetings for Jon."

But TLC probably wouldn't let that happen if they weren't involved.

Sources tell TMZ that the producers were willing to continue giving Jon his full paycheck...and allow him to either stay on OR completely leave the show, but there was one catch: He couldn't do any other show without permission from TLC.

But Jon's lawyer says all this is nonsense...and claims that Jon is doing this for the RIGHT reasons. He says, quote, "This isn't about money. This isn't a negotiation tactic. This is about his kids.

"He's worried about what impact the show is having on them and is taking action. He's done with the show."

Naturally, TLC is not amused. The network issued this statement: Quote, "We are aware of Jon Gosselin's recent statements and remain deeply disappointed at his continued erratic behavior.

"He and the family were shooting as recently as last Friday, without incident, and his latest comments are grossly inaccurate, without merit and are clearly opportunistic.

"Despite Jon Gosselin's repeated self-destructive and unprofessional actions, he remains under an exclusive contract with TLC. Direct filming of the children has been currently suspended, pending further conversations between both parents."

Kate issued her own statement as well. Here's what she has to say: Quote, "I'm saddened and confused by Jon's public media statements.

"Jon has never expressed any concerns to me about our children being involved in the show and, in fact, is on the record as saying he believes the show benefits our children and was taping on Friday with the kids.

"I check in regularly with each of the kids to be sure they want to participate in and continue with the show and will continue to do so. I do the show for my family because I believe it provides us opportunities we wouldn't otherwise have.

"It appears that Jon's priority is Jon and his interests. My priority remains our children and their well-being."

It's hard to say where all this goes from here.

Jon's lawyer says they're prepared to go after the show for violating Pennsylvania's child labor laws. He claims they didn't get the proper permits to film the children...and aren't giving the kids, quote, "appropriate compensation."

What?!? How is this NOT supposed to sound retaliatory and opportunistic? He never had a problem with the show, which has been filming for THREE YEARS...and NOW he's suddenly worried about the welfare of his kids??? SHUT UP!!!

JON GOSSELIN swears up and down that the only reason he's trying to stop the filming of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" is because it exploits his children. But just two months ago, he said the EXACT OPPOSITE...and he was caught on camera doing it.

Jon was on "Larry King Live" last night, trying to plead his case. And Larry confronted him with a video shot on July 31st, in which Jon denied allegations made by Kate's sister that the Gosselin kids are exploited.

After watching the video, Jon admitted that he meant it at the time...but now realizes it was a MISTAKE.

Oh, and he mentioned that if he'd said that either he or TLC was exploiting his children, it would have been BREACH OF CONTRACT.

But wait...Superdad doesn't care about money...so why would he care about breaching a contract that harmed his children???

This guy's mouth is like a steam shovel. Every time he opens it, he ends up in a bigger hole. But enough about his love life.

HI-YO!!!!!





T. SWEEZY IS A HOME-OWNER...
When it comes time to buy a first house, a lot of people start small by getting a condo...even if they're millionaire singers. TAYLOR SWIFT recently Tweeted, quote, "I just bought my first condo in Nashville so I'm looking at tile samples and wallpaper now.

"I'm so excited. It might seem old...but I'm having so much fun! I'm doing whimsical quirky eclectic tree house. I just really want it to be different from everywhere else I see. I love doing this interior designing."
