Ahhh good morning. Let me just tell you, sometimes if you only knew what was happening 'behind the curtain' of the radio station....its been a chaotic few days but hopefully normalcy is returning.
I'll be in tomorrow night for Mo, 7-Midnight, Back In The Day weekend style.
Here's some shtuff...

LI-LO NEWS...PERHAPS FOR THE LAST TIME...
This is me speaking on behalf of the general population. Do you care about Lindsay Lohan? I bet you don't. And I really don't anymore either. So, this might very well be the last time I report on her for awhile.
At LINDSAY LOHAN'S hearing yesterday, Judge Elden Fox laid out the conditions for her outpatient treatment.

Lindsay wasn't there personally, but her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, told reporters what's expected of Lindsay. Between now and a progress hearing on November 1st, Lindsay has to remain in California, and keep Los Angeles as her primary residence.

She also has to undergo psychiatric treatment AT LEAST four times a week.

She has to attend some kind of dependency meeting...like Alcohol Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous...at least five times a week.

She must contact a chemical dependency counselor at least SEVEN times a week.

She has to attend behavioral therapy twice a week.

And she will be randomly tested for drugs and alcohol twice a week. And she's not allowed to miss a single test.

Lindsay's attorney is required to provide statements twice a week affirming that Lindsay is meeting her requirements. If Lindsay flakes on ANY of these terms, she gets sent back to the pen for 30 days. (Or 14 days. However long they feel like keeping her.)

Holley told reporters, "[Lindsay] is very serious about her sobriety. She looks forward to proving to the court that she is serious. She has learned her lesson and is going to move forward in a positive way."







TIMBALAND SUICIDE ATTEMPT? WHAT?
TIMBALAND would like to set the record straight: He did NOT go off to commit SUICIDE after learning that someone had stolen a $2 million watch from his home.

Here's what happened: Early Tuesday evening, Timbaland's family members called 911, because they couldn't find him...and they were worried he would kill himself.

His mother-in-law told the 911 operator that he'd driven off...and sent them a text saying that he was, quote, "tired of the stress." He also mentioned that he was, quote, "near a cliff in the canyons." (This is near Malibu, California.)

The authorities ended up finding Timbaland, and they escorted him back home.

But yesterday, Timbaland gave an interview in which he DENIED that he was suicidal, and said that everyone was overreacting. And in talking about it, it's clear that he was pretty upset over the whole thing.

Timbaland said, "I don't even know what happened, to be honest. […] I don't know what people are talking about. Why would I commit suicide?"

He also denied that he had a $2 million WATCH stolen...but he said "something" WAS stolen, and he said that he was upset about it, but not THAT upset about it.

"People steal from me all the time. […] Stuff did happen, it wasn't a watch it was something else. It's people that are close to you, you know. So only thing I did was take a drive and figure out how I'm gonna handle it. I wasn't talking, so I guess people got worried."

And they were REALLY worried.
An APB was sent out, and several squad cars and a HELICOPTER were out searching for him. And according to the police report, the authorities were under the impression that he'd taken some sort of "medication" before leaving the house.

Timbaland was NOT thrilled to hear about all this when the police found him. He said, "I snapped. I was like, 'Who would report something like that?'"








MARIAH ROCKS THE MATERNITY CLOTHING...
Neither MARIAH CAREY nor NICK CANNON will admit that Mariah is pregnant. But Mariah's candy coating does seem to be thickening lately. And she was spotted recently wearing a MATERNITY DRESS from a company called A Pea in the Pod.

Meanwhile, we heard yesterday (as I reported on my facebook) that Mariah WAS indeed preggers. Nick Cannon quickly said that was NOT true....but I think it is. Why they don't just come out and admit it, I have NO idea.....

A so-called "source" says Mariah is four months pregnant, and her rep says, "I spoke to Mariah from Brazil. She is very superstitious...and when the time is right for her and Nick to announce something, she will."








MILEY CYRUS IS NEWLY SINGLE...
MILEY CYRUS and LIAM HEMSWORTH have broken up. Rumors to that effect started going around yesterday, and when RadarOnline.com contacted Liam, he told them, "It's true."

Liam and Miley started dating last August, after meeting on the set of "The Last Song". The breakup is said to be pretty recent. There's no word why they split, but the gossip is already starting to fly.

E! Online says there are supposedly some pictures of Miley in Detroit, on the set of her upcoming movie, "LOL: Laughing Out Loud".

And these pictures show Miley STRADDLING a guy who looks like her co-star in that flick, one Adam Sevani. He's 18.
Meanwhile, the "Star" tabloid claims that Liam hooked up with a 26-year-old chick named Katy earlier this month at the U.S. Open Surf Competition in Huntington Beach. (Liam is 20.)

Nobody's saying he actually cheated...but he supposedly partied with her and her friends, and left with her phone number.

And finally, E! Online says that Miley and Liam were already kind of on-and-off with each other. Sources say they've broken up and gotten back together a few times already without anyone finding out about it.








VAMPIRES ARE RACKING UP THE CASH...
If you're sick and tired of vampires, I've got some really bad news for you: They're not going anywhere for a long, long time.

According to the "Hollywood Reporter", vampires have generated $7 BILLION in revenue since the first "Twilight" movie hit theaters in November of 2008. (That's LESS THAN TWO YEARS, for you non-math majors.)

That includes $3 billion from movies, $1.6 million from books and $1.2 billion from TV and DVDs.








ADAM SANDLER WORKING ON A NEW FLICK...
ADAM SANDLER is going to play TWINS in an upcoming movie. But here's the catch: They'll be FRATERNAL twins...a man and a woman.

The movie is called "Jack and Jill". It's about a woman who goes to her twin brother's house for Thanksgiving and won't leave...thus putting a HILARIOUS strain on his home life.

KATIE HOLMES is in talks to play the brother's wife (if TOM CRUISE allows her to, of course)...and AL PACINO will play himself.







JERSEY RESIDENTS DON'T LIKE "JERSEY SHORE"...
In a recent poll...conducted by Quinnipiac University (which is near New Haven, CT and my radio buddy Lisa G/Chloe went there and I have to wonder if they did wonderful, important, ground-breaking polls like this when she was in college...)...51% of New Jersey residents said they had an UNFAVORABLE opinion of "Jersey Shore".

11% said they had a FAVORABLE view on it...and the rest, 38%, are still UNDECIDED. (Which means they haven't seen it yet. There's no way you can watch an episode of "Jersey Shore" and NOT have an opinion on it.)

Meanwhile, 54% thought that "Jersey Shore" was actually BAD for New Jersey...20% said it was GOOD for the state...and 26% don't have a clue.







FACEBOOK IS UN-COOL WITH THE KIDS...
If there's one thing that's been true across every generation of teenagers since the beginning of time, it's this: Something instantly stops being cool once your parents like it.
For this current generation of teenagers, FACEBOOK has now reached that point.

According to a new survey, 16% of teenagers say they're planning to QUIT Facebook because one of their parents signed up.
Another 29% of teenagers say that they're planning on de-friending their parents on Facebook.

14% say that their parents haven't signed up, but they're going to quit Facebook anyway because it's filled with, "too many adults and older people."

Three-quarters of parents on Facebook say they check out their kids' profiles.
And mothers are MUCH more likely to join and check in on their kids than fathers.

It's ok. They can go back to Myspace now.









20-SOMETHING SURVEY...
A new survey of more than 1,000 Americans in their twenties found that a SHOCKINGLY high number of them...28%, or more than one out of four...are currently living with their parents.

The survey ALSO found that 28% of 20-somethings described themselves as, quote, "perpetually single." It didn't show the overlap between those two groups...but I'd have to guess the two are at least SOMEWHAT connected to eachother.
Here are some of the other results from the survey...

38% of 20-somethings are currently in a relationship but not married. 19% are currently dating around, 13% are married, and 2% are divorced.

28% live with their parents, 28% live with their spouse...or with their boyfriend or girlfriend, 26% live with a roommate or roommates, and 18% live alone.

The average person moves five times during their 20s.
And the average person has SIX jobs during their 20s.








IT'S BEEN HOT...
July was the 305th consecutive month where the average temperature worldwide was above average. The last time a month had a below-average temperature was February of 1985.

Here in the U.S., we just had the second-warmest July ever, and the warmest June of all time.

Louisville, Kentucky, had the hottest summer of any major U.S. city. Not because it had the hottest temperatures, but it spent the most days above its averages. There were 73 above-average temperature days in Louisville this summer.

Memphis, Tennessee, had the second-most above-average temperature days, with 72.

The rest of the top 10 cities are: Atlanta...Raleigh, North Carolina...New Orleans...Washington, D.C....Chicago...Detroit...Kansas City...and Philadelphia.

Louisville, Detroit, Chicago, Philly...ALL close to us! See? Too hot!

Los Angeles is on the other end of the spectrum...there were ZERO days with above-average temperatures in L.A. this summer. And San Francisco only had one day above-average.

Low tonight of 47...and I'm SO glad some cooler days are here!
