Btw, I have your FIRST shots at FLO-RIDA TIX!!!! Listen this afternoon!!
ALICIA KEYS TIED THE NOOSE!
ALICIA KEYS and producer SWIZZ BEATZ made The Big Mistake Saturday on the French island of Corsica. It was a small wedding, with BONO and QUEEN LATIFAH among the guests. DEEPAK CHOPRA conducted the ceremony.
Alicia is currently carrying Swizz Beatz's fetus, she's due later this year. Here's a wedding photo...
THE WEEKEND OF WEDDINGS: T.I.
T.I. has married his longtime girlfriend Tameka "Tiny" Cottle. They have two sons together. T.I. has three other children from two previous relationships.
According to "Us" magazine, they made it official at a Miami Beach courthouse on Friday...then had a small ceremony in front of friends and family on a private island off the coast of Miami on Saturday.
That was followed by a reception in T.I.'s hometown of Atlanta, after which they flew off to Vegas.
'IDOL' NEWS...
Nothing is official yet...but it's sounding more and more like your new "American Idol" judges' panel will be: AEROSMITH singer STEVEN TYLER, JENNIFER LOPEZ and RANDY JACKSON.
We all knew SIMON was done, and last week, ELLEN DEGENERES announced that she was quitting. KARA DIOGUARDI was not signed for the upcoming season...and according to multiple sources, her contract isn't being renewed. In other words, she's essentially been FIRED.
Reps for Steven and J-Lo have not commented on the "Idol" rumors...but TMZ reports that the deals are still being finalized.
However, a spokesperson for Aerosmith did say that no matter what, "the Aerosmith tour will continue on for its full scheduled run with Steven Tyler."
As for Randy, word has it that he almost got the boot, too...but in the end, producers wanted to keep one connection to the original judges' panel, so Randy was kept on.
Some say Fox could make all this official TODAY at a pre-planned media event...but "Entertainment Weekly" says no announcement is expected for a while.
JERSEY SHORE DEBAUCHERY...
"Jersey Shore" train wreck NICOLE "SNOOKI" POLIZZI was arrested for public drunkenness on Friday in Seaside Heights, New Jersey.
Police took her off in handcuffs after she passed out during a marathon afternoon drinking session. MTV was filming that day, so there's about a 100% chance that all this will be featured, at some point, on "Jersey Shore".
Technically, there's no official word whether MTV caught footage of the arrest, but if they did...we'll see it.
A so-called "eyewitness" says, "She was passed out face down in the sand. She couldn't even stand up. She was on her knees and kept falling on the beach. People were laughing and taking pictures of her before the cops arrested her."
Snooki was reportedly charged with disorderly conduct...and was later released.
TMZ posted a video, which they claim was filmed sometime before the arrest. It features Snooki attempting to get on a bike...looking HAMMERED. She falls sideways off the bike and onto the ground. Here it is...

Btw, the Season Two premiere of "Jersey Shore" drew 5.3 million viewers last Thursday night. That blew the first season premiere, which had 1.4 million viewers, out of the water. It also set a ratings record for the show.
"30 ROCK" SAYS "WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!"
A friend of mine was just talking to me about this show the other day. NBC has announced that "30 Rock" will do a LIVE episode this season. And they'll do it twice...once for the East Coast and once for the West. It'll air on October 14th. I'm reminded of The Drew Carey Show, a fav of mine back in the day, they did a live episode once a year.
GAGA ON ARIZONA
LADY GAGA performed a gig in Phoenix on Saturday night . . . and during the show, she told the crowd that some other unnamed artists asked her to cancel the show to boycott the state's controversial immigration law.
Lady Gaga refused . . . but she spun the whole situation into a self-righteous speech that she rattled off in front of about 14,000 fans . . . who, of course, went nuts over every single thing she said.
She said, "I got a phone call from [some] really big rock 'n' rollers, big pop stars, big rappers . . . and they said, 'We'd like you to boycott Arizona because of SB 1070.'
"And I said, 'Do you really think that us . . . pop stars are going to collapse the economy of Arizona?'"
Then, Gaga laid out HER plan . . . "I'll tell you what we have to do about SB 1070. We have to be active. We have to actively protest.
"The nature of the Monster Ball [her tour] is to actively protest prejudice, and injustice, and the bull(crap) that is put on our society . . . because you're a superstar. No matter who you are or where you came from, and you were born that way."
She added, "I will not cancel my show. I will yell and I will scream louder . . . and I will hold you, and we will hold each other, and we will peacefully protest this state."
I GOTTA FEELING...SOMEONE'S GETTING RICH!!
The BLACK EYED PEAS song "I Gotta Feeling" has set a new record. It's been downloaded... legally...SIX MILLION TIMES. It's the first song to hit that mark.
WILL.I.AM says, "We came out in '98 and our career, if you would look at it on chart, there's no dips in it. For our career to still be healthy and vibrant and doing things like 6 million downloads, it's pretty significant."
"That means that they chose to support the group, support the art. God knows how many people listened to it online and didn't buy it, downloaded it for free and didn't think about it."
WE ARE HEALTHY!!!
Looks like ALL of the pro-wheat propaganda has finally sunk in. Thanks a lot, JARED.
According to the latest figures, for the first time in U.S. history, wheat bread has outsold white bread. Breads that are marketed as "whole grain" and "natural" are finally selling better than good-old, processed, vitamin-free white bread.
In total sales for the 52-week period that ended on July 10th, Americans bought $2.6 BILLION worth of wheat bread and $2.5 BILLION worth of white. Bread sales as a whole fell 3% from the previous year.
Good for you. I'll still be getting white!
NO WE AREN'T!!!
The economy's still in the toilet, we're all losing our jobs, and every other country hates us. So the only logical conclusion is...WE GOIN' DRINKIN'.
According to a new Gallup poll, the U.S. drinking rate has hit a 25-year high. In 2010, 67% of American adults have at least one drink once in a while. That's the highest rate since 1985, when it was also 67%.
The highest rate of all time was from 1976 to 1978, when 71% of Americans were drinking. The lowest rate ever was in 1958, when only 55% drank...although in 1989, the rate dipped down to 56%.
Beer is the most popular alcohol in the country today...41% of people drink beer most often. Wine is second at 32% and liquor is third at 21%.
NEED A JOB? HERE'S ONE!
Even if you're absolutely DESPERATE for a job...you're about to default on your mortgage, you're on the verge of bankruptcy or the mob's going to break your legs...this STILL doesn't sound like a good career move.
BP is looking to hire a new public relations spokesperson who'll be responsible for putting a positive spin on the Gulf oil spill. Or, at least on all the efforts that BP has made to stop and clean up the spill.
Obviously, the oil spill has been one of the biggest PR disasters EVER...so this job is about as big of an uphill battle as you could have.
The official title is "Director of Issues Management - Gulf Coast Restoration."
BP's job description says they want someone who has a, quote, "track record of being proactive in dealing with issues." They aren't listing a starting salary.

SO...SHARK WEEK...
Apparently its some major deal. Whoop de doo. Let me know when Storm Stories is back on. Anyway, let's bust some SHARK MYTHS:
#1.) SHARKS WILL ALWAYS ATTACK HUMANS. Just because you see a shark, there's no guarantee it's going to go all "Jaws" on you. If sharks have access to their usual prey, like seals, they'll usually leave humans alone.
#2.) SHARKS ARE IDIOTS. Sharks are some of the smartest predators in the animal kingdom. They have about a 50% success rate at killing their prey...that's higher than lions and most of the other famous predators.
#3.) SHARKS FOLLOW THEIR NOSES. Sharks do use their sense of smell, but many species also have really good eyesight and hearing. And they also have an extra sense that detects the electrical fields that all living things give off. (!!!)
#4.) SHARKS WILL EAT ANYTHING. Most sharks like to stick to their favorite foods and not get too creative. For great whites, that's seals during the winter, and fish, rays, and other smaller sharks in the spring.
#5.) SHARKS CAN'T GET CANCER. This myth comes from the people who sell "shark cartilage" pills, saying that they might cure cancer because sharks are cancer-free. It's not true. Cancer in sharks is very rare, but possible.
BUSTED...LITERALLY!
Cheating on your wife is so 2009. The big trend for 2010 is calling your girlfriend and leaving insane, racist voicemails. But apparently, the U.K. hasn't caught on to the new hotness yet.
Last week, a 24-year-old guy in Aberdeen, Scotland, met up with his mistress, a 19-year-old chubby named Alex. The guy is engaged, and while his name hasn't been released, his photo WAS, so go figure.
Anyway, these two dirty Scots decided to climb up onto the roof of a vacant store to get-it-on.
But while they were on the roof making adulterous love, the corrugated metal roof COLLAPSED . . . and they fell 10 feet down, into the store below. Firefighters had to come get them out . . . and they both suffered some cuts and bruises.
When the police got there, they were both arrested for breach of the peace.
Alex says she and the guy met over the Internet and regularly get together for sexual liaisons. But, "We can't go to his house because his fiancée is there. I live with my parents so we can't go there [either]."
Pretty roof isn't it? LOL how romantic! Hey baby, let's go lay with the MOSS!
That's all I have for today. Talk to you tomorrow!
