Hi.

What a let down that storm was yesterday, right? I don't even know if I heard any thunder or saw any lightning!

Hey, LAST day to score Anberlin tix on Q92...don't forget PLAIN WHITE T'S and SHONTELLE are both coming...PWT's tix starting tomorrow ONLY from Q92!

LOTS of stuff...let's get to it



FIRST, THE STORY I PUT ON FB THIS MORNING...
First, we heard that CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S marriage broke up due to some LESBIAN SHENANIGANS with SAMANTHA RONSON. Now we're hearing a different story.

There's talk that Christina may be enjoying the old BUMP AND TICKLE with BENJI MADDEN of GOOD CHARLOTTE!!! WHAT!? This is huge! We've got Good Charlotte in for a Q92 show on Friday! I MUST find out what's going on!

We haven't heard any actual evidence yet except for this: Christina has reportedly become very close friends with NICOLE RICHIE...who is fornicating and procreating with Benji's twin brother JOEL

WHERE IS THE LOVE?
Earlier this month, ERYKAH BADU slammed today's hip-hop for being too computerized and lacking soul. And now, JAY-Z is making a similar complaint.

Jay-Z recently told the "Wall Street Journal" that if he could change one thing about hip-hop...he would make it more emotional and REAL.

He said, "We have to find our way back to true emotion. This is going to sound so sappy, but love is the only thing that stands the test of time.

"'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill' was all about love...Andre 3000, 'The Love Below'. Even N.W.A., at its core, that was about love for a neighborhood.

"We're chasing a lot of sounds now, but I'm not hearing anyone's real voice. The emotion of where you are in your life. The mortgage scandal. People losing their jobs. I want to hear about that."






WE DON'T LOVE BRET...WE LOVE SKANKY GIRLS!!!
Instead of doing a fourth season of "Rock of Love", BRET MICHAELS and VH1 decided to do a more "real" reality show called "Life as I Know It".

But apparently, America is NOT as interested in Bret's "real" life as they are in watching him nail 20 groupie skanks on a bus. "Life as I Know It" premiered to an audience of fewer than 850,000 viewers last Monday night.

By comparison, the three "Rock of Love" seasons debuted to 1.6 million, 3.7 million and 2.1 million viewers, respectively.






WATCH OUT FOR THE BIMMER DRIVERS!
This could not be less of a shock. The cars that have a reputation for being driven badly by entitled a-holes actually ARE being driven badly by entitled a-holes.

According to a survey of 3,000 drivers in the UK, when they were asked to name the car that seems to have the angriest drivers, more than HALF of them went with...BMW drivers.

Delivery van drivers came in second. Audi drivers were third, Ford drivers were fourth, and Land Rover drivers were fifth.

The survey also found that 17% of drivers...or one out of six...have had a bad experience with another driver in the past week, whether it was a rude gesture, someone tailgating them, someone driving dangerously, or something else.

10% of people say they've had an accident that was the direct result of road rage.

And 58% say that tailgating is the worst thing other drivers do. Making dangerous turns in front of other drivers came in second, and speeding came in third.







GUESS WHO'S GETTIN' WITH SWIFTY!?
JAKE GYLLENHAAL must want to be the future subject of a formulaic pop-country heartbreak song...because it appears that he's dating TAYLOR SWIFT.

First, they were backstage during "Saturday Night Live", where a witness says they, were, "careful not to be seen too close."

The source added, "It was hard to tell if they were together, but everyone was shocked that she brought him."

On Sunday, they had brunch with another couple at a Brooklyn joint called Al Di La. They were later seen walking hand-in-hand around the Park Slope section of Brooklyn.

OO, la la!!!

"Us Weekly" says TAYLOR SWIFT and JAKE GYLLENHAAL are definitely a couple. A source says, "The relationship is very new, maybe two or three weeks old. I'm not sure who pursued whom, but they're both into it."

If you need more proof than that, we have this: Before they hit up the "Saturday Night Live" studio, they went APPLE-PICKING together.
I'm sorry, people, but platonic friends do NOT apple-pick. At least not together.

It went down at a place called Fishkill Farms in Hopewell Junction, New York. A witness says, "They were walking through the trees, having fun together. They looked happy.

"Some of the customers tried to take a photo of them, but they were hiding from them in the trees. They drove through the orchard and bought the apples on the way out."

Jake did the gentlemanly thing and paid the tab...which came to three bucks.








MUSIC TO SLEEP TO...
It's official: We're not alone...COLDPLAY puts British people to sleep, too.

For whatever reason, the Travelodge hotel chain conducted a survey in the U.K., asking people what musicians and / or bands were most likely to put them to sleep.

Coldplay came in first, followed by MICHAEL BUBLÉ. Here's the top 10:

#1.) Coldplay
#2.) Michael Bublé
#3.) Snow Patrol
#4.) Alicia Keys
#5.) Jack Johnson
#6.) Taylor Swift
#7.) Mozart (LOL)
#8.) Barry White
#9.) Leona Lewis
#10.) Radiohead

Unfortunately, this list isn't actually as amusing as it sounds. That's because the survey was treating falling asleep to music as a POSITIVE thing.

It even quoted a sleep expert who said, "Listening to soft, relaxing music at bedtime leads to a number of different benefits...[including] a longer sleep duration period, fewer night time awakenings and shortening of the time it takes to fall asleep."






BIG COLLABO...
KANYE WEST says that he and JAY-Z are no longer planning on recording an EP together...instead, they're going to do a FULL album called "Watch the Throne".

Kanye explains, "We're putting out a whole album now. We had done five [songs] so far...and then a few of them kind of were out there...and I put them on my album. Sorry, Jay!"

He adds, "We're going to the South of France at the end of this month just to record new ideas. We'll probably be done with the album in like a day or whatever."

There's no release date yet...but if Kanye wasn't joking about recording it in a day, I guess it could be on its way fairly soon.






WHAT A LET DOWN!!!
As a kid, there are no two words in the English language sweeter than "SNOW DAY." It almost makes up for having to spend half the year bundled up in brutally cold weather.

Well, there's a school district right here in Ohio that wants to take away that joy from its students.

The Mississinawa Valley School system is in Darke County, in western Ohio. And they say that this winter, instead of cancelling classes on snow days, they're going to make their kids stay home and take classes ONLINE.

Lisa Wendel is the superintendent of the Mississinawa schools. She says that the district is just testing the plan. But if it goes well, other schools in Ohio...AND the rest of the country...might adopt the same plan.

Right now, schools in Ohio can only cancel school for three days a year because of snow. Anything more than that, and they have to make up the days at the end of the year. Sucks for you guys! It was FIVE days when I was in school!!

That sounds bad, but it really isn't. By June, all the teachers do is put on movies. Any kid would gladly take a few surprise days off in the winter, even if it means a few extra slacker days in June.






HE'LL BE BACK...
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE is making a lot more movies than music these days, but he'd like you to know that he's not abandoning his music career.

Over the weekend, he performed at a benefit concert in Las Vegas. He did an acoustic medley that included a version of Drake's song "Over"...but he added to the lyrics to tell the crowd:

"Don't be pissed off I'm an actor. It's not over. It's not over. It's not over. And when I come back, I'm gonna come harder."
