Btw, the final list for the 2011 class drops on December 26th. Inductions are in March 2011.








GETTING REDIC...
Alright, I've never seen any of these shows...but this is getting insane: Bravo is launching a SEVENTH "Real Housewives of..."-whatever series. (The sixth one, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" hasn't even premiered yet...and the "D.C." one just debuted last month.)

The new one, "The Real Housewives of Miami", has already been filmed, and will supposedly premiere sometime this winter.

Bravo hasn't officially announced the show yet...but word has it that the cast includes the wife of former NBA superstar SCOTTIE PIPPEN, and the ex-wife of former NBA player GLEN RICE.








GAGA TIX...
Since I've taken lots of calls/texts/messages about this, YES Q92 has GAGA tix!! April 27th at The Q (last show of her tour actually)...on sale Friday at 10am. Nikolina has them all week, listen 10-3






TRYING TO DETERMINE IF I...AND YOU...ARE NORMAL
"USA Today" is trying to figure out what makes someone NORMAL, and they've come up with a six-question quiz to figure out what is and isn't the borderline for normal versus abnormal. Here are the questions...see where you land.

#1.) How often do you pick your nose? The most common answers are "every day" or "sometimes, maybe weekly." The least-normal behavior is NEVER picking it.

#2.) Did you lie about your weight on your driver's license? Only about three out of 10 people lie, so it's more normal to tell the truth.

#3.) For women: How much time does your husband or boyfriend spend per week watching football? None is actually the most common answer. Three hours or six hours are also normal. More than 12 hours is not normal.

#4.) Have you ever searched for your ex online? About three out of five people have run a search.

#5.) For married people: Are you still in love with your ex? Two-thirds of people are NOT, making that the most normal. A surprising one out of five people say they are, so it's not THAT abnormal.

#6.) Are you normal if your spouse has never seen you naked? Only about one out of 14 people think it's normal if you've never been nude in front of the person you're married to.

I have to say...I'm pretty normal!!
...or at least, as nuts as everyone else!







NO TEXTING WHILE DRIVING? A GOOD IDEA?
It's been proven repeatedly that texting while driving is more dangerous than DRINKING while driving.

Every year, there are SO MANY DEATHS caused by people using their cell phones in their cars that a plane would have to crash EVERY SINGLE WEEK to equal the same death toll.

And yet...people keep on texting while driving. Admit it, you do it, don't you? It's ok to admit. So states have started responding by making it illegal to text while you drive, to try to curb those numbers. I was up in Michigan at the end of June and there were billboards all over warning that on July 1st, there was no texting while driving in Michigan.

Well...the Highway Loss Data Institute just did a study of the 30 states that have banned texting while driving and they found that...when people know it's illegal to text and drive, they actually GET INTO MORE ACCIDENTS!!

In three out of four states with text bans, texting-related accidents went UP.

Adrian Lund from the HLDI has a theory for why this happens. He says that people still text in their cars when there's a text ban...only they hold the phone lower down so a cop couldn't look in their window and see what they're doing.

The problem there is that your eyes are diverted further from the road and for a longer time...so more accidents happen.

He believes that the states need to quickly start giving out harsher penalties for texting while driving...because a small ticket isn't enough of a deterrent.

Around here, it's illegal in the city of Alliance, all of Summit County, and the city of Cleveland.







THE LOWEST NUMBERS IN 130 YEARS...
Either the men in this country have gotten a lot smarter about avoiding the Big Mistake, or the economy is even more devastating than we realized...because this is MADNESS.

Yesterday, the U.S. Census Bureau released new data which found that the marriage rate in this country just hit its lowest point in at least 130 YEARS.

In 2009, only 52% of Americans 18 years old and over said they were married.
That's down from 57% in 2000.

We don't know if the marriage rate has ever been lower. The Census has only been collecting that data since 1880...130 years ago...and the percentage has NEVER been lower than it was last year.

The economy IS definitely a factor: People are less likely to jump into marriages when their finances and careers are so up in the air.

Combine that with the younger generation being cool with waiting into their 30s to lock it down, and you get the lowest marriage rate ever.

The Census also found that in 2009, for people 25 to 34, 46.3% were never married, and 44.9% are currently married, or had been married and are now divorced.

That's the first time in history that the "never married" group was larger than the "married" group.








And with that I say...HAPPY HUMP!
