WEAK-END UPDATE...that's not weak at all!

Happy weekend! Here's some shtuff...


PICK SIX (plus one more):
So I type this up on Saturday mornings, while having a little breakfast and catching the VH1 Top 20 Countdown....and they keep teasing Adam Lambert's video for the new song Whataya Want From Me. I gotta say, it's honestly a good song. For Your Entertainment was pure garbage, but this is alright. Written by Pink. So here's the songs I like at the moment...either that we're playing, or might be playing soon. Check these out...
JASON DERULO - In My Head
ONEREPUBLIC - All The Right Moves
KEVIN RUDOLF - I Made It (feat. Jay Sean, Lil Wayne, Birdman)
JAY-Z - Young Forever (feat Mr. Hudson)
KE$HA - Blah Blah Blah (feat 3OH!3)
PITBULL - Shut It Down (feat Akon)
plus one more...
ADAM LAMBERT - Whataya Want From Me

All are good stuff






TOUGH LOVE 2
Do you watch VH1? More specifically, Tough Love 2? Angel is one of the girls on the show, and if you didn't know, she's from right here in Stark County! Lake High graduate and a Q92 listener...pretty cool, yes?
Her and I talked last night, she's home for awhile and gonna drop by the studio next weekend for a visit (probably Sunday around 4pm)...got a question you want me to ask her? Drop me a message!

MILEY ENGAGED?!....
Well, no, she's not, but a photoshopped pic of her with a ring on her finger made it all over the web this past week. She's not engaged, HOWEVER, someone 'close' to her says she thinks LIAM might be the one.

Pshhhh...hey Miles! Obviously you're not my favorite person, but I will offer you some words of wisdom.
You're 17. HE'S NOT THE ONE!!!






KATY PERRY *IS* ENGAGED, OF COURSE...
And she's talking about how it all happened. And to think, it all started with a water bottle to the head.

Katy says, quote, "I threw an empty water bottle at his head across Radio City Music Hall at the 'VMAs' and it hit him straight in the head and I said 'Hiiiiiiii!!' And from then on it's always been like 'Oh God...' So thanks, empty water bottle."







NOW YOU CAN GET BLITZED JUST LIKE MC!
Earlier this month, MARIAH CAREY made kind of a fool of herself when she accepted an award at the Palm Springs Film Festival under the influence of a little too much champagne. So now she's capitalizing on the publicity by releasing her own brand of champagne.

Check out this message she posted on Twitter last week...quote, "Didn't realize they put the champagne on the tables, so we WOULDN'T drink it! LoL. No, seriously ANGEL CHAMPAGNE (ROSE) by MC coming soon!"







COCO...
So CONAN hosted his final TONIGHT SHOW last night on NBC. Did you catch it?
He made NBC the butt of many jokes, as he has been, but he also thanked them...even getting a little choked up just before the close of the show.
I stand by the prediction...Conan to Fox and HUGE ratings to follow. Because Conan comes out of this looking like a HERO in the public's eyes!







SOME ALT ROCK NEWS...THE KILLERS:
After THE KILLERS wrap up their current Australian tour, they're going to go on an extended hiatus. Guitarist Dave Keuning says they're not breaking up, but they will be shutting things down for a while.

He explains, quote, "There hasn't been much time where we haven't been either touring or taking time to make another record. It's like people just expect us to do that non-stop till we die, but we just want a little bit of time off, just to be myself and do what I want to do for a little bit."







ALT ROCK NEWS...WEEZER
WEEZER singer RIVERS CUOMO has been cleared to perform again...after suffering some serious internal injuries in a tour bus crash back on December 6th.

On Twitter, Rivers said, quote, "Doctor says my lung is all healed...cleared to fly to Florida for the show. Turns out I broke 5 ribs!!!"

Weezer has promised to make up all the dates they were forced to cancel while Rivers was recuperating. For now, their only scheduled shows were this past Wednesday at Florida State University...and May 1st at the Bamboozle festival.

A spring / summer tour...which should include the make-up dates...is in the works. The first leg sounds like it'll be in North America, while the summer portion is expected to take place in Europe.







CHRYSLER: "HI, WE'RE STILL HERE"
Just in case there was any doubt, Chrysler actually IS still in business. And to prove it, they're going to air a 60-second commercial during the Super Bowl advertising the Dodge Charger.

According to a company spokeswoman, Chrysler is running the ad because, quote, "What better way to illustrate to our customers that we are still here than to air on the Super Bowl, which is not only watched for the game, but also for the advertising spots."

In other words, Chrysler's running the ad to remind you they still exist.

Other car companies like Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Audi, and Volkswagen have all bought advertising space during the Super Bowl. But so far Chrysler is the only American car company to do it.

It's unclear exactly how much Chrysler paid for the ad space, but officials for CBS say 30-second spots are selling for about $3 MILLION apiece.

And just so you know, the starting sticker price of a Dodge Charger is about $24,400. So, assuming Chrysler paid $6 MILLION for the ad space, they'll have to sell about 246 Chargers in order to make their money back.







SWEEZY FOR THE MAYER??
We've been hearing rumors about a TAYLOR SWIFT-JOHN MAYER relationship for a few weeks now. Here's the latest: The "Star" tabloid claims they went on a secret dinner date on January 6th.

A so-called "source" says, quote, "They seemed to really enjoy each other's company. They definitely looked like a couple. John was telling stories, and she was hanging on his every word." Taylor is 20...Mayer is 32.

TACO BELL THRU THE YEARS...







QUOTE WORTHY...
"I have masturbated myself out of serious problems in my life."
-John Mayer






MUSE...DON'T WANNA BE FAMOUS (SO THEY SAY)...
The guys in MUSE aren't celebrities, individually, yet...and they're glad, because they'd rather not be hounded by the paparazzi and the tabloids like LILY ALLEN is.

Bassist Chris Wolstenholme says they were recently hanging out with Lily in New Zealand, when the paparazzi caught up to them.

He says, quote, "They spotted her and started taking pictures while we all sat around. Then the next day the caption read, 'Lily Allen with friends'."

"We're certainly not like Lily Allen who is a very famous person aside from her music. For us, it's always been about the band and the music. We don't really want to cross that line and be famous for anything other than music.

"None of us are interesting enough to be famous for anything else anyway."








T.I. OUT OF JAIL...WORKING ON A NEW ALBUM?
If you haven't heard, T.I. was released from prison on December 22nd, and was transferred to a halfway house in the Atlanta area. And it sounds like he's been using his partial freedom to begin recording a new album.

Music producer Jim Jonsin...who worked with T.I. on his hit, "Whatever You Like"...talked with T.I. recently, and he told Rap-Up.com that he's back to work.

Jonsin said, quote, "It doesn't seem like he missed a beat. He was so upbeat...his spirits were up, and he's excited to be out and working. He hasn't changed, he sounded exactly like he did when I talked to him months before he went in."

He added, quote, "He's back in the studio. I sent him some music via email. He can work during the week and not on the weekend, I believe. He's definitely working on an album for this year right now."








KID ROCK IS A T SWIFT FAN...
It would be easy for him to hate on TAYLOR SWIFT because she's a pop star who sells millions of records and has a huge teen following.

But Kid's smart enough to appreciate that Taylor has skills. He tells "People", quote, "(Taylor) knows how to play guitar and she writes her songs so God bless her. I wish there was more of that out there. Hopefully she gets better and grows and keeps it all going."








MAMMONE CASE...
I don't have much more to say...Marcia Eakin, his ex-wife, had this statement read yesterday and it pretty much echo's what the entire community is thinking...

WHILE READING ABOUT THE CASE....
While reading about the Mammone case, I saw THIS gem of a story! OH YEAH, straight outta Canton! Some guy walked into Wally World on 62...and pissed on the meat!!! Story from The Rep...

Police arrested a Canton man accused of walking into a local Wal-Mart store early Friday morning and urinating on the counter containing steaks. Robert T. Jenkins, 21, of 2021 Holland Ct. SW, was arrested at 1:30 a.m. at the store at 3200 Atlantic Blvd. NE on charges of felony vandalism and disorderly conduct, Stark County Jail records said. Jail records said he entered the store, walked to the steak counter and began urinating on the food, causing more than $600 in damage to the meat and surrounding counters. He remained in the jail later Friday, held in lieu of $25,000 bond.
