Here's some shtuff....

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

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









SARAH JESSICA PARKER...
Remeber the surrogate's in Belmont County, Ohio that got broken into by the cops?
Barry Carpenter...one of the police chiefs who broke into the home of the surrogate who carried SARAH JESSICA PARKER'S twin girls...was convicted Monday on SOME of the charges against him.

The jury found him guilty of receiving stolen property, theft and tampering with evidence. But he skated on charges of burglary and unauthorized use of property or services.

Carpenter and another police chief, Chad Dojak, are accused of breaking into the surrogate's Ohio home to find dirt to sell to the tabloids. Dojak goes on trial in January.









YOU COULD SING ON A CLEVELAND BAND'S ALBUM...
JARED LETO'S band, 30 SECONDS TO MARS, offered their fans several ways to be a part of their new album, "The Is War", which hits stores on December 8th.

First off, the CD will be released with 2,000 different covers. Each cover has an individual picture of one of their fans from somewhere in the world.

The band had asked fans submit the pictures to their website back in September, in order to get their own personalized cover.

Some fans even made it onto the album itself...by singing on the choruses. Leto says, quote, "We were intent on turning the mic toward the audience. We started to hold events we called 'the Summit'.

"We wound up doing eight of them in different cities, and then we started getting requests from fans that couldn't make it to the summits to participate. We launched a digital version, and we used the material to create the choruses."

Of course, these things...especially the fan-submitted cover art...were done in an effort to boost physical CD sales.

Leto says, quote, "We know that retail is shifting from physical to digital. We wanted to celebrate the transition and make the physical release really important."








FIDDY AND TB HAVE SETTLED...
50 CENT has reportedly reached a financial settlement with Taco Bell, but the terms haven't been released. Last year, 50 sued Taco Bell for using his name in a back-door promotion without his permission. Here's what happened:

Taco Bell released an "open letter" to 50 Cent, which publicly invited him to change his name to 79- 89- or 99 Cent for one day, in connection with one of their advertising promotions. If he did it, they'd donate $10,000 to the charity of his choice.

Taco Bell claimed they were making a, quote, "good faith offer"...but 50 said that any offer should have been made privately. He argued that by announcing it publicly, they were tying his name to Taco Bell...and he didn't appreciate that.

At one point, we heard that 50 was seeking $1 million in damages.







THE AVERAGE WOMAN WORRIES ABOUT HER APPEARANCE 36 TIMES A DAY:
This study took place in the UK, but we have no reason to think the results would be any different here...
According to a new study by Britain's Independent Television Authority, the average woman has negative thoughts about her appearance 36 times a day.
That adds up to 252 negative thoughts a week...or 13,140 a year. (!!!)








TEXTING AND DRIVING...
A recent survey by a website called FindLaw.com found that ONE in TEN drivers between the ages of 18 and 34 admit they've sent or received an email, or surfed the Internet on their phone, while driving.

Meanwhile, TWO in THREE drivers admit they talk on their cell phone while driving, while HALF admit to TEXTING while driving.

This seems like the perfect time to remind you that last summer, a study by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute found that texting while driving is 23 TIMES more dangerous than driving drunk.







HERE'S WHAT YOUR FAVORITE THANKSGIVING FOOD SAYS ABOUT YOU:
Everybody has a favorite Thanksgiving food. And what you ate this past Thursday MIGHT reveal a little bit about your personality...according to three food and personality experts at MSN.com.


#1.) IF IT'S TURKEY. You appreciate the little things in life, but it's not what gets you out of bed in the morning. You only play to win...and you like spending time with people who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. (???)


#2.) IF IT'S TOFURKEY. You think about things before you do them. In other words, tofurkey is turkey made of tofu: People eat it because they believe in something SO strongly, they shun the taste of meat . . . delicious, succulent, turkey meat. (Sorry, got carried away.)


#3.) IF IT'S STUFFING. You're traditional, but you also have a wild side. And you're probably an opinionated person who likes being around other opinionated people. (???)


#4.) IF IT'S MASHED POTATOES. You're a people person who appreciates the little comforts in life that most people overlook. And you look for considerate, compassionate people to spend time with.


#5.) IF IT'S CANNED CRANBERRY SAUCE. You're not fancy, you're practical. And you like that about yourself. But you don't take yourself too seriously, and you're not afraid to be the butt of a few jokes every now and then.

#6.) IF IT'S PUMPKIN PIE. You like being part of a close-knit family...or you WISH you were part of one. You could probably sit through two hours of your uncle's war stories, and still get excited when your mom wants to go through your baby photos.








TAYLOR-TAYLOR
Alright, so we all know Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift are shagging...but, Rolling Stone asked Lautner if he was dating T-Sweezy and he said "possibly".
That is all.







WHAT DOES RI-RI WANT FOR XMAS?
A reporter asked RIHANNA what she wants for Christmas. She replied, quote, "Some great food and some great sex." (!!!!!!!!)

She added, quote, "That's not too much to ask, right? The sex might be a little difficult but definitely my mom is coming to cook me some food."

Um, see, no, the sex wouldn't be difficult...Ri...CALL ME!







"IDOL" PREMIERE DATE SET...
Fox has announced a few of their mid-season premiere dates. Here they are:

As usual, both "American Idol" and "24" will kick off with two-night premieres. The ninth season of "Idol" will begin on January 12th and 13th...and the eighth season of "24" will begin the next week, on January 17th and 18th.

Also, the 450th episode of "The Simpsons" will air on January 10th. Afterwards, Fox will air a one-hour "Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special".








WHEN AN NFL TEAM LOSES IN AN UPSET, THERE'S AN 8% INCREASE IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AMONG FANS...
A new study by the National Bureau of Economic Research has found that when an NFL game ends in an upset, there's an 8% increase in DOMESTIC VIOLENCE in the home state of the losing team.

And when it's a game between rivals, or one with lots of turnovers and penalties, the increase is nearly TWICE that.








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

ONLINE DATING IS FOR FOGEY'S...
Much love for the parents, for the grandparents...it would appear that they're GETTING much love! That's according to a new study, which found that people over the age of 55 are the most active group of online daters. Check it out:

Nearly TWO in THREE single men and women over the age of 55 have joined an online dating website. That's compared to just ONE in FIVE people between the ages of 18 and 24.

People over the age of 55 have gone out with an average of 8.2 online dates. They've also had an average of 2.1 relationships with people they met online. Those figures are both higher than any other age group.

And contrary to what we'd like to think, they aren't just holding hands...

According to the study, the average over-55 online dater has had sex with an average of 2.4 people they met online.

The only other group that's freer with their genitalia is the 45-to-54 demographic. They've done it with an average of 2.6 partners.








FEZ GETS THE GIRLS...
Do you, or did you watch That 70's Show? Fez (WILMER VALDERRAMA) always had a hard time with the ladies. Lots of self-enjoyment for Fez. But thats not the case in real life! "Life & Style Weekly" says he's nailing AVRIL LAVIGNE (!!!)...who recently separated from her husband, DERYCK WHIBLEY (of SUM 41).

Avril and Wilmer became friends while working together on the 2005 movie "Fast Food Nation"...but a source says, quote, "things heated up last month."









RIHANNA PANTIES SHOT!
...for the fellas! Here ya go. Enjoy.

LIL WAYNE JUST WON'T QUIT...
...I'm talkin' in the sack! There are a ton of unconfirmed reports that NIVEA gave birth over the weekend. Remember her? "Don't Mess With My Man" from a handful of years ago. If that's true, that means LIL WAYNE is a father, again, for the second time in two months and the third time in just over a year.

With this new baby, which is reportedly a boy, he now has four children with four different baby mamas. Actress LAUREN LONDON just gave birth to his boy in September, he had another boy last October, and he has a nine-year-old daughter.

Speaking of Weezy, T-PAIN'S mom, Aliyah "Mama Pain" Najm...LIL WAYNE'S mom, Jacinda Carter...and NE-YO'S mom, Loraine Smith...are developing a talk show together that sounds like it'll be pretty similar to "The View".

There aren't many details yet...like when and where it would premiere...but we do know it'll be called "Dinner Table Discussions", and it'll include, quote, "current events, important topics, interviews and feature segments."









RI-RI LUVA LUVA NEWS...
RIHANNA denies she's dating "90210" stud TRISTAN WILDS. In an interview yesterday she admitted that he did show up at her house party last weekend. But she added, quote, "I don't even have his number."

She also admitted that she misses certain things about CHRIS BROWN...and when his music comes on the radio, she doesn't automatically turn it off.
(I wonder if my ex-girlfriends secretly listen to me on the radio?....)









LEIGHTON MEESTER-NESS...
If you want to date "Gossip Girl" minx LEIGHTON MEESTER, you'd better be in it for the long haul. She says, quote, "I don't want to have a boyfriend unless I want to be with him forever. If I don't see an end, that's nice. Because I always see an end."
Leighton is currently fornicating with "Gossip Girl" co-star Sebastian Stan.

She's also looking HOTTIEPANTS in GQ. Peep this: http://yeeeah.com/2009/11/13/ss-leighton-meester-in-gq/








TAYLOR IS ONE OF NBC'S "PEOPLE OF THE YEAR"...
NBC has picked TAYLOR SWIFT to be on their "People Of The Year" TV special, which airs Thanksgiving night at 9:00 P.M. "Today Show" stud MATT LAUER is the host.

Other honorees include L.A. Lakers' star Kobe Bryant, Scottish minx Susan Boyle, "Miracle on the Hudson" Captain Chesley Sullenberger, Octomom Nadya Suleman, and Maersk Alabama captain (slash) former Somali pirate hostage Richard Phillips.









SNOWGLOBES AND MASHED POTATOES...
Just in time for Thanksgiving, the Transportation Security Administration released a special "holiday edition" of its banned liquids list.

According to the guidelines, here are some of the things you can't put in your carry-on luggage, in case you wanted to bring home some holiday leftovers:

Creamy dips and spreads

Gift baskets containing stuff like salad dressing or salsa

Jams and jellies

Gravy

Cranberry sauce

Mashed potatoes

Snowglobes










SMOKERS...
This week, the American Cancer Society held its 34th annual Great American Smokeout, which is a national campaign aimed at encouraging smokers to kick the habit.

Here's some shtuff....



DID DAVID LETTERMAN MOVE OUT OF HIS HOUSE???
The "National Enquirer" claims that DAVID LETTERMAN failed to patch things up with his wife Regina...and has moved out of their home and into an apartment in Manhattan.

A so-called "source" says, "He took a few days off from the show so they could try to work things out. But if anything, he may have made the situation worse...Regina told him to get out and that's exactly what he did."








RANDOM DEBAUCHERY:
STEPHANIE PRATT...one of those skanks from "The Hills"...has pleaded NOT GUILTY to DUI. But her lawyer says she's checking into rehab.

Stephanie got popped last month after leaving HOLLY MONTAG'S birthday party. Two breathalyzer tests were administered. She blew a .08 and a .09.








MORE RANDOM DEBAUCHERY:
BRANDY has settled the last remaining civil lawsuit related to her car crash in December of 2006. This time, the plaintiffs were the parents of the woman who was killed in the accident. There's no word how much she forked over.

Brandy previously settled a suit filed on behalf of the woman's two children...agreeing to pay them $300,000 each. She also settled a suit filed by an unrelated woman who was injured.









AMERICAN PIE...YES, THERE REALLY IS A NEW ONE COMING...
You probably had no idea, but they're still making those "American Pie" movies. And EUGENE LEVY is still shamelessly collecting paychecks for appearing in them. (He's the dad in the first 3...the one's that are funny and you care about)

But this time, some other recognizable names are shamelessly collecting paychecks, too...including KEVIN FEDERLINE.

He's among a group of so-called "stars" making cameos in "American Pie Presents: The Book Of Love"...which rockets straight to DVD on December 22nd.

Others include Poison singer/Rock Of Love star Bret Michaels, Rosanna Arquette, Christopher "Peter Brady" Knight and C. Thomas Howell...

Plus DUSTIN "SCREECH" DIAMOND and CURTIS ARMSTRONG...who played Booger in the "Revenge of the Nerds" movies.
Obviously, this movie's going to nlow. But if you're interested, here's the trailer...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3fTa1A4JYY








JON & KATE SERIES FINALE...
TLC will wrap up "Jon and Kate Plus Eight" next Monday night.

According to the "New York Post", the episode will feature JON and KATE GOSSELIN sitting down to discuss, quote, "what the future holds for them and their eight children." It's unclear when the footage featuring Jon was shot.

There will also be a montage...with clips pulled from the show's five-season run.

The "Post" also says TLC has scrapped plans for a spin-off called "Kate Plus Eight"...at least as a regular series. However, they may air "occasional specials" under that title at some point in the future.

Instead, they are working on a new show with Kate, but there aren't any details on what the show will be about...or if it'll feature her kids.

It's probably a good bet that TLC won't finalize any future plans with Kate...or any "Kate Plus Eight" specials...until their legal mess with Jon is sorted out.

The following Monday, November 30th, TLC will replace "Jon and Kate" with one of their other popular shows..."Cake Boss". (Really?) That show's second season kicked off three weeks ago. It's been averaging 2 million viewers per episode.





ALSO....




JON GOSSELIN has filed a countersuit against TLC...for $5 million...on the grounds that the network still owes him money, and that they've tarnished his image.

Last month, TLC sued Jon for breach of contract...not for blocking production on "Jon and Kate Plus Eight", but for doing all kinds of TV interviews without their consent. TLC claims that this violates an exclusivity clause in their contract with Jon.

But Jon says that TLC breached their contract with him...and he claims they owe him $175,000.

In the lawsuit, Jon argues that TLC contacted networks that Jon was trying to work with...to persuade them not to do anything with him.

He also claims that he didn't have an attorney present when he signed his contract with TLC...and that the network has, quote, "harmed his reputation."

Part of the lawsuit reads, quote, "Because of the enormous Media interest...and public interest, it makes it impossible to carry on normal daily activities, let alone find, secure and maintain a job with an employer who is willing to be exposed to the daily media intrusions that has impeded my life."

A hearing in the case has been set for December 14th.









RIHANNA'S "RUSSIAN ROULETTE" VIDEO...
Gotta tell ya, I'm digging the new upbeat version we're playing! RIHANNA has released the video for "Russian Roulette"...and it's dark.

There aren't any overt references to the CHRIS BROWN assault, but there are a few shots of a mysterious car...that at one point appears to run her over...and it's hard not to make a connection to what happened back in February. Watch it, here...

http://rihannanow.com/videos.htm









KINGS OF LEON-ER GETS HITCHED...
KINGS OF LEON drummer NATHAN FOLLOWILL married his girlfriend, Jessie Baylin, in Tennessee over the weekend.

SCARLETT JOHANSSON was among the guests...not because she's a Kings of Leon fan, but because she reportedly went to high school with the bride.







IF LIL WAYNE WERE PRESIDENT...
THAT is kind of a scary thought! But he's got a documentary coming out tomorrow, and that's one of the things he mentioned.
He said, quote, "I would put cocaine back in Coca-Cola, I would put that back. I think I'd get love for that.

"I'd take off all bad substances from sports, so there would be no more steroids [restrictions]. So you could use whatever steroid or hormone to grow you want, as long as you hitting homeruns, it's fine with me.

"I would make prostitution legal in about five more states...[and] gambling too.

"And you know I would legalize weed, first and second and I would put a law to it that there's no more child support and there's no more . . . pre-nup[s]. Because marriage, that don't mean...she gotta get something. I'd change that."









NEARLY TWO IN THREE MEN HAVE PLEASURED THEMSELVES AT WORK:
This survey took place in the UK, and we're not sure if the results would be similar here in the States. But we suspect they might be...

According to a new British sex survey, the average woman has sex 3.2 times a week. But she'd like to do it 5.9 times a week.

And the average man has sex 2.6 times a week. But he'd like to do it 24.5 times a week...or more than three times a day.

Nearly ONE in FOUR guys...or 24%...admit they've enlisted the services of a compensated date. Not a single woman in the survey said she's ever paid for sex.

ONE in FOUR men and women admit they've experimented with same-sex relations...although 4% of guys say they've ONLY had sex with other men.

2% of men and women say they've had sex in a taxi. And TWO in FIVE guys say they've had sex on a train, while only 14% of women have. (???)

46% of women have pleasured themselves at WORK. And so have 64% of guys...which is nearly TWO in THREE overall.

11% of women and 16% of men say they've taken part in an ORGY.

Overall, 5% of women and 13% of men describe their sexual appetite as, quote, "practically perverted."








SEX STUFF 15:
Let's face it...most of us consider ourselves to be experts on the topic of sex. But the truth is that a lot of us are actually pretty clueless.
If you're wondering where you stand, here are 15 things about sex that you may not have known:

#1.) The average American has sex about ONCE a week. And married people are anywhere from 25% to 300% more likely to have sex during any given week than unmarried people.

#2.) French kissing is good for your teeth. It's because the extra saliva helps regulate plaque and prevent tooth decay.

#3.) TWO in every FIVE condoms sold in the U.S. are bought by women.

#4.) 12% of all websites on the Internet are pornography.

#5.) But "sex" is NOT the most searched word on the Internet. Last year, it was overtaken by the word "Facebook," and last month "Facebook" was Googled five times more often than the word "sex".

#6.) Humans are NOT the only species that has sex purely for fun. Studies have found that pigs, dolphins and Bonobos...which is a relative of the chimp...also have sex for fun. And there may be others as well.


#7.) It's illegal to buy naughty novelty devices in two states...Alabama and Mississippi.

#8.) Women with at least some college education are more open to experimenting with both ORAL and NO-GO HOLE relations.

#9.) For its size, the strongest muscle in the human body is the TONGUE.

#10.) When they're ovulating, women have an increased sex drive. It's nature's way of getting us to spawn.

#11.) Chocolate is a natural aphrodisiac. It contains an amino acid called Phenylalanine that raises endorphin levels, and increases a person's sex drive.

#12.) Human beings have only one body part that's designed JUST for sexual pleasure. It belongs to women...and it rhymes with Dolores.

#13.) The Graham Cracker was invented in 1829 to curb sexual desire. At the time, it was widely believed that spicy foods caused sexual desire. The Graham Cracker was developed as a spice-less snacking alternative.

#14.) The avocado was named after a man's genitalia. Back in the day, the Aztecs used avocado as a sex stimulant. So they gave it the name "ahuacati," which literally means "gonad."

#15.) And the word "vanilla" is derived from the Latin word for a woman's most intimate of areas, because the vanilla plant somewhat resembles what a woman's got "down there."








HERE ARE SEVEN TRICKS TO HELP YOU GET THE TABLE YOU WANT AT ANY RESTAURANT:
FROM CNN: How many times has this happened? You've got a big date and you want everything to be perfect. So you make a reservation at the best restaurant in town...only to be seated at the worst table in the whole place.

Now, you could make the best of the situation. But you don't have to. With that in mind, here are seven tricks from a website called TheFrisky.com that can help you get the table you want at just about any restaurant:

#1.) Be your own personal assistant: Instead of making the reservation for yourself, pretend you're your own personal assistant calling on behalf of "your boss." It'll make you seem important, which will cue the reservationist to give you a good table.

#2.) Be a regular: This isn't a "tip" so much as common sense. If you're a regular at a restaurant, your loyalty will probably be rewarded.

#3.) Bribe: If you've got some extra cash burning a hole in your pocket, it never hurts to slip the host a few bucks. But you should never attempt this move with less than $10, and you should never be obvious about what you're doing.

#4.) Be on time: Again, this one's a no-brainer. What you should really keep in mind is that if you're more than 15 minutes late at a really popular place, there's a good chance your reserved table will disappear.

#5.) Look sharp: Let's say there are two couples that both want a table at the front of the restaurant. One couple is dressed to the nines, while the other is wearing sweats. Which couple would you seat at the good table? I rest my case.

#6.) Say it's a special occasion: It's probably not the best idea to lie and say it's your birthday or anniversary if it's not. But it never hurts to tell the host it's a special night.

#7.) Send yourself champagne: Before you show up, call ahead and send your table a bottle of champagne or wine as if you're NOT one of the people actually attending the dinner. Why?

Because it will make you seem popular and influential, which restaurant managers love. The only catch is that when the bottle arrives, you have to act surprised...but not too surprised. Because, hey, this happens to you all the time, right?

USHER OFFICIALLY DIVORCED...
USHER and his wife TAMEKA are officially divorced. The judge signed the papers last Wednesday.

Usher and Tameka got married in August of 2007...against the wishes of Usher's MAMA. Usher filed for divorce this past June, but he said they'd been separated a year already.








MILEY DESTROYS ANY CREDIBILITY SHE HAD LEFT...
Here's something that may not surprise you, as I've never tried to hide it. I HAAAAATE MILEY CYRUS. And it's not because she's successful, I know some people hate people who acheive mass success...hey, not at all, more power to ya. I hate Miley because of her NASALLY-ASS hillbilly-hick voice. That girl CANNOT sing! "The Climb" was a GREAT song, lyrically...if only someone ELSE would have sang it! Her voice on it makes me wanna slit my wrists and kick babies. Not only that but its her hick-mullett-rockin' daddy forcing her into the spotlight. Parading his slutty 16-year-old daughter around. I've said it before, I can't wait til she turns 18 and goes off the deep-end, because I'm sure it WILL happen. Anyway, here's some Miley news...

MILEY CYRUS has admitted that she's, quote, "never heard a JAY-Z song"...despite the fact that she name-checks him in her single, "Party in the U.S.A.".

She's NEVER HEARD A JAY-Z SONG!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!
I was pretty sure EVERYONE IN AMERICA knows "Can I Get What what, what what...", or Hard Knock Life, or "H to the Izzo..."

But there's a simple explanation: Miley didn't write the song.

Of course not. Because people with actual talent can write. Miley can't.

In an "interview" with some fans, Miley said, quote, "I've never heard a Jay-Z song. I don't listen to pop music." (???)

So, lemme get this straight...you are a supposed 'pop artist' (term used loosely)...and YOU DON'T KNOW POP MUSIC? Miley...STFU!!!

"I didn't write ['Party in the U.S.A.']. Honestly, I picked that song because I needed something to go with my clothing line."

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! It's a shame there are musicians, TRUE musicians out there busting their ass, and this little punk-ass s**t gets a #1 song on Pop radio...when she couldn't even give two s**ts ABOUT pop music! Miley, go the hell away, cheers to you crashing and burning like the hack that you are!

And might I add, only #1 for a week, as GAGA came in with Paparazzi and kicked her ass. Lady Gaga, someone who writes her music and has talent! GO GAGA!!!

Rant off.







BRITNEY LIP-SYNCHING...
Yeah, it supposedly happened in Austrailia last week, some fans were quite upset...John Mayer jumped on his Twitter to weigh in on it...
"If you're shocked that Britney was lip-syncing at her concert and want your money back, life may continue to be hard for you."







AMA LINE-UP GROWS...LOOKIN' GOOOOOOD!
GREEN DAY, SHAKIRA and MARY J. BLIGE have joined the list of performers for the "American Music Awards", which go down on November 22nd, next Sunday night!

Other performers include: Rihanna, Jay-Z, the Black Eyed Peas, Jennifer Lopez, Adam Lambert, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Daughtry.








EMINEM MOVIE...
Word has it that EMINEM has signed on to produce and star in a horror movie called "Shady Talez". For now, it's unclear how or when the movie will be released. It's his first movie role since he did "8 Mile" back in 2002.

According to a music video director named Joseph Hann, the movie will be a "3-D anthology film," broken into three parts. And Eminem, who will be the main star, will play different characters in each part.

Hann says Eminem shouldn't have a problem with this...quote, "Having worked with him so many times, the thing people don't realize is that he's a fantastic actor. He actually stays in character on set. He's a method actor, like Daniel Day Lewis."

Supposedly, Eminem is also writing a comic book series to go along with the movie. (It still isn't clear how or when the movie will be released.)






KENTUCKY FOLKS LOVE THEIR PORN...

RANDOM LOVE NEWS...
It looks like JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE and JESSICA BIEL are still together. On Sunday night, they hit a JAY-Z concert at UCLA. A "witness" says, quote, "He literally held her the entire concert. They were dancing together and singing along to every song."








HOLIDAY SHOPPING TIME...
...is fast approaching. Maybe you're headed out in the nice weather this weekend to knock out a few items from your gift lists. You know what it means to "re-gift" something, don't you?

A new survey has found that more than ONE in THREE Americans...or 36% overall...plan on re-gifting this holiday season. That's up from 31% last year, and 24% in 2007.

Meanwhile, 6% of Americans still haven't paid off all their debt from LAST holiday season.







PEOPLE'S CHOICE...
TAYLOR SWIFT, meanwhile, got three nominations in the music category...and MILEY CYRUS got two, but not for singing, likely because she's terrible at it. Miley's were for "Hannah Montana" and for being a "Web Celeb" on the internet.








GAGA'S "BAD ROMANCE" VIDEO...

MOVIE RANDOMNESS...
Here's a trailer for the upcoming comedy "Date Night", starring STEVE CARELL and TINA FEY . . .


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3ancrVDCsY

It also stars some other big hitters, Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, James Franco, Leighton Meester, Ray Liotta, rapper Common...and a bunch of other recognizable names. It's hitting theaters next April.







FERGIE SAYS THE BLACK EYED PEAS AND KANYE WEST HAVE MADE HIP-HOP MORE "GAY-FRIENDLY":
In a new interview, FERGIE says that hip-hop and the gay community are cool with each other...and she credits her band, the BLACK EYED PEAS, and KANYE WEST for bringing them together.

She tells "The Advocate", quote, "[The guys in my band] are completely gay-friendly. Are you kidding me? Look at how they dress!

"Kanye West really did a great thing for hip-hop and made it very mixed and open."








WALLY WORLD'S NEW 'BLACK FRIDAY' PLAN...
It seems like every year on Black Friday, someone gets trampled to death by a stampede of early-morning bargain hunters.

Just last year, it happened to a Wal-Mart security guard on Long Island, New York.

Well this year, Wal-Mart officials are trying to avoid a repeat performance of that nonsense by keeping most of their stores open all night on Thanksgiving.

The logic is that if customers aren't forced to line up outside, there won't be a mob rushing into the store as soon as the doors open.

The only problem is that the sales still won't officially begin until 5:00 A.M. Friday.

In other words, you can camp out inside Wal-Mart all night on Thanksgiving. And at the item you want first. You people are crazy!







FERGIE/DUHAMEL DRAMA...
Nicole Forrester, the stripper who claims she had an affair with JOSH DUHAMEL, is apologizing to FERGIE. She says, quote, "I'm sorry. I thought, 'Nobody's gonna find out. It's not gonna hurt anybody.'

"I'm sorry that I didn't think of it like I think of it now."

But she adds, quote, "She's standing by her man, so obviously I'm not wrecking the home too bad, huh?"

WHAT!?

Nicole has already experienced some backlash...and from her own children, no less. She says, quote, "My son, he went to a football game last Saturday and he was like, 'Mom, you're disgusting. I didn't know you had sex with him.'"

LOL!







AND FINALLY...
Thanks for listening! Party Playlist, commercial-free, tonight 7-Midnight...3-7pm Sunday with Angel from Tough Love 2 on in the 5pm hour...on Monday night 7-Midnight as well...I'm thinking BEDROOM HORROR STORIES, inspired by Julie! We shall see...

WKND ^D8: NOV 7 & 8

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

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

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

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

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








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

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

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

That disc is scheduled to drop on December 15th.





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

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








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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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







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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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








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

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


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

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







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






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


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







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

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

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

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

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

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

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







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

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






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







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

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

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

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

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

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







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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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







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

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

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

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

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

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

The cops think alcohol may have been a factor.
