"FOREVER" AT GRAMMY'S
Did you see the Grammy performance featuring Lil Wayne, Eminem, Drake and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker on Sunday night??? If so, then you know that CBS edited the crap out of it.
Seriously...it almost felt like there was more SILENCE than audio.
But here's the funny thing: There was almost NO SWEARING WHATSOEVER during that performance.
Yes, the songs they were singing..."Drop the World" and "Forever"...have their share of profanity. But on the Grammy stage, the guys were skipping all the bad words themselves.
Check out the UNCENSORED clip.

VH1-NESS....
VH1 is developing a new reality show starring BRANDY and her homemade porno star brother RAY J. The show, which will be called "Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business"...is scheduled to premiere on April 11th.
MEANWHILE,
Of course we talked to ANGEL last weekend! She was on Tough Love on VH1 and the FINALE aired on Sunday night....I got several texts about the show, and YES, Angel and Adam ARE STILL TOGETHER! I predicted they weren't and I predicted wrong. I'm happy for her :)
AND I guess those are the ONLY 2 couples from the show that ARE still together! Go Angel!
MORE GRAMMY'S: TAYLOR SWIFT
If you saw TAYLOR SWIFT'S duet with STEVIE NICKS at the Grammys, then you may have heard some off-key notes here and there. It's not unusual...especially on a live TV show where there are so many variables.
But everyone's been talking about it this week. EW.com described it as "badly off-key"...and the "Washington Post" called it "off-key caterwauling." Fair enough. People will take their shots, and then the 'controversy' will die.
Unfortunately, Scott Borchetta, the head of Taylor's record company, decided to come to her defense...and make everything worse. Basically, he made the mistake of comparing Taylor to the singers on "American Idol".
He said, quote, "This is not 'American Idol'. This is not a competition of getting up and seeing who can sing the highest note. This is about a true artist and writer and communicator. It's not about that technically perfect performance."
Well, that pissed-off at least one "technically perfect" singer from "American Idol", MY GIRL KELLY CLARKSON. She wrote on her blog, quote, "You know what, we not only hit the high notes, you forgot to mention we generally hit the 'right' notes as well."
Here's Kelly's blog post:
Wow …..Dear Scott Borchetta,
I understand defending your artist obviously because I have done the same in the past for artists I like, including Taylor, so you might see why its upsetting to read you attacking American Idol for producing simply vocalists that hit ‘the high notes’. Thank you for that ‘Captain Obvious’ sense of humor because you know what, we not only hit the high notes, you forgot to mention we generally hit the ‘right’ notes as well.
Every artist has a bad performance or two and that is understandable, but throwing blame will not make the situation at hand any better. I have been criticized left and right for having shaky performances before (and they were shaky) and what my manager or label executives say to me and the public is “I’ll kick butt next time” or “every performance isn’t going to be perfect”
……I bring this up because you should take a lesson from these people and instead of lashing out at other artists (that in your ‘humble’ opinion lack true artistry), you should simply take a breath and realize that sometimes things won’t go according to plan or work out and that’s okay.
Sincerely,
One of those contestants from American Idol who only made it because of her high notes ;)
GO KELLY!
AAR HAS SOME REGRET...
Back in December, the ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS appeared to briefly break up, when singer TYSON RITTER and guitarist NICK WHEELER had a public fight on Twitter. Since then, they've made up.
But Ritter regrets it. He says, quote, "It was the stupidest thing we ever did. I think we got so mad at each other in that moment, that we ran to our security blankets, which is 20,000-ish people that sort of support you.
"It was a (effed) up day." Wheeler adds that they're okay...but, quote, "[It was] a pretty serious fight. We're still sort of working things out, so it's good."
MEANWHILE, SOUNDS LIKE FOB IS DONE-ZO!
Officially, FALL OUT BOY is only "on a break"...but it's starting to sound like that break is going to be permanent.
In a chat with fans on Twitter, bassist PETE WENTZ cast some serious doubt on his future with the band. He told one fan, quote, "Don't you get it? A hiatus is forever until you get lonely or old. I don't plan on either."
When another fan specifically asked about his future with the band, he responded, quote, "I can't imagine playing in [Fall Out Boy] again. Something would have to change in my head or my heart...not my wallet."
He added, quote, "I didn't want you to hang on a string. [At the] same time, if it happens, [I] don't want to feel like a liar. [The band] might happen without me. Oh, well."
It's unclear what prompted all of this, but Pete said fans could quote, "attack him...[and] blame it all on him." He also said, quote, "If you only knew how I felt."
Then, to complicate it further, Pete posted a few more messages on his website. In the first one, he said, quote, "Every day for the past seven years of my life I woke up with a purpose. I felt driven. This was all that kept me going."
"When I lost that, I lost part of me...that's not to say count me out. I'm gonna jump back in. I just know that I have to be patient and wait for the right idea. I can't just jump the gun and do whatever.
"Letting go of this giant part of my life has been hard, but I am convinced I will find something new that sparks me in a similar way. This is not a vacation. But I want to be back on tour, having my son watch me from the side of stage, and that will happen...when I find the right magnet."
Then, he followed that with yet another post...saying, quote, "I don't know the future of Fall Out Boy. It's embarrassing to say one thing and then have the future dictate another. As far as I know, Fall Out Boy is on break.
"As much as I don't have a solo project, I also can't predict that I'd ever play in Fall Out Boy again. Not due to personal relationships as much as a band we grew apart.
"In this statement I'd like to include there is the possibility that F.O.B. will play again without me or I will be a part of it when everyone is on the same page. It is no one's fault and there is no animosity about the decision.
"I felt as fans you deserve to know. There is no singular reason for this. The side projects or bands are supported by all members of the band. I am the single biggest fan of F.O.B. and if this is our legacy [then] so be it. I am proud of it."
Meanwhile, in a separate interview with Spin.com, singer PATRICK STUMP also seems ready to close the book on Fall Out Boy...at least for now.
He says, quote, "I'm not in Fall Out Boy right now. One way or another, the band will always be around. Steven Tyler isn't in Aerosmith anymore, but his gravestone will probably say something about Aerosmith.
"Whether we play again or not, I don't know. If we do, it will be for the right reasons. If we don't, it will also be for the right reasons.
"I'm really not worried about Fall Out Boy. I'm so psyched about where I'm at right now, recording this solo album." (On his website, Patrick writes, quote, "I'm working on an album. I'll be writing / producing / performing everything myself.")
As for the other guys, drummer ANDY HURLEY posted a message on Twitter saying, quote, "I quit too." And guitarist JOE TROHMAN Tweeted, quote, "I just did interviews with Span Magazine, Rabbling Stone and Blunder about how much quitting I done." (HA!!) The band's reps declined to comment.
J. TIMBERLAKE, NOW HOW HEAVY IS THAT?
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE has recorded TWO duets with JAMIE FOXX. Both of them will be on Jamie's next album, which will be released in May.
For now, all we know is that one of them is called "Split Personality"...and it's expected to be the first single off the disc.
NEW T SWIZZLE DATING RUMOR...
I have a brand new TAYLOR SWIFT dating rumor for you to waste your valuable time thinking about. He's CORY MONTEITH, and he plays Finn Hudson on the show "Glee". Taylor and Cory hung out TWICE last weekend.
They were spotted having dinner Friday night at Jerry's Deli in L.A. And then on Saturday they sat together at the CLIVE DAVIS pre-Grammy party. Here are some photos of Taylor and Cory at that party...
Check out Taylor's right arm in the third photo. I swear her hand is resting very comfortably on Cory's thigh. That's, like, second base for a girl, no? It's one move away from his launching pad, which I take as a sure sign she's ready to get sweaty.
....turns out its NOT TRUE!
They're just friends. In fact, that very night Monteith ended up all over some blonde at a club in West Hollywood.
A so-called source said, quote, "Cory showed up to the club with a girl who definitely looked like his date. (He) spent the evening attached to the girl at the hip. They looked like they were into each other and having fun." They left the club together at 1:30 A.M.
JOHN MAYER'S TAKE ON TIGER WOODS...FUNNY!
We've waited long enough, but it's finally here: JOHN MAYER'S take on the TIGER WOODS situation.
He says, quote, "Tiger Woods' problems come from him being married. The end. It has nothing to do with control. If Tiger Woods was a single guy, what sort of angle would there be to a text message?
"If Tiger Woods was single, and he texted a girl and said 'I wanna wear your ass like a hat,' why would that ever hit the news?"
He adds, quote, "I can text whatever I want to anybody in the world; I'm not married. I write a lot of dirty text messages to girls, and you've never seen any of them.
"Why? Because if a girl brought a dirty text message from me to the newspapers, they'd say 'I don't have an angle here. Someone wants to wear your ass like a hat? Big deal. He's 32 years old. He's a single guy.
"'If John Mayer has a wife and sends dirty texts, then we got a story.' And that's why I won't do that. When I get married that's gonna be my vows, 'Do you, John Mayer, take this woman to have and to hold, to wear her ass like headgear?'
"'Yes, I do; you're the one whose ass I wanna wear like a hat for the rest of my life.'"
FACEBOOK NATION...
Just yesterday, Shannon asked me on facebook how I knew one of our mutual friends. I had no idea who this person was...probably a listener...but we were "friends" on facebook!
In the 1990s, a researcher named Robin Dunbar concluded it's physically impossible for a person to have more than 150 friends, because the human brain can't comprehend social circles larger than 150 people.
Anyway, researchers at Oxford University in England wanted to find out if the study still stood up in the age of social networking sites, where people regularly have 500 or more "friends."
So they conducted a study basing the idea of "friendship" on three factors:
#1.) Regular involvement in one another's life
#2.) A strong emotional connection
#3.) And a continual effort to stay in touch
What they found is that...going by just those three criteria...the average person is only REALLY friends with 38% of their friends on Facebook.
BIG GAME tonight....commercials of course...plus SAINTS & COLTS!
Enjoy the game...enjoy your week! Thanks for listening and reading, as always :)
