COMMENCE TEETH CHATTERING...

...YESTERDAY!
Hey, it's a bit cold out! And uh...as of this typing (10:30am Tuesday), it's still snowing! YAY! ??? Ehhhh maybe not.
What's your LEAST favorite part of winter? We'll talk about it after 4 today on Q92





GLEE GETS SHUT DOWN...
The cast of "Glee" was supposed to shoot a musical performance for their post-Super Bowl episode last Friday...but production was shut down because of a TONSILLITIS EPIDEMIC.

It's unclear who is sick...and how many cast members are affected, but we know DIANNA AGRON is one of them. She plays Quinn on the show.

She posted a Twitter message saying, "Note to self: Should have gotten a flu shot. In bed, hoping that medicine, soup, my computer and a marathon of movies will be the cure."

"Entertainment Weekly" says it was tonsillitis. It's unclear if there are multiple sicknesses going around...or if it's a flu bug. Not that it really matters.

Filming is set to resume today, although the musical performance that was going to be shot Friday has been rescheduled for next month.







KNOT? TIED
Posted this over the weekend on my facebook (see? You should 'like' and get all this stuff first. http://www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage )
NICOLE RICHIE and JOEL MADDEN got married Saturday at the Los Angeles estate of Nicole's adoptive father, LIONEL RICHIE.

Celebrity guests included Joel's twin brother Benji, Khloe Kardashian, Samantha Ronson, and Gwen Stefani with her husband Gavin Rossdale.

The ceremony was conducted by REVEREND RUN of RUN-DMC.







QUOTE THIS
"I'm a promoter of masturbation. Don't sleep around...learn yourself first."

That's 17-year-old wannabe rocker TAYLOR MOMSEN.

She adds, "Guys do, but girls don't. And that's why girls have so many bad experiences. But you can know your body, know yourself, know what feels good.

"You don't have to give yourself away just to have sexual relevance. Because I don't think sex is something people should be afraid of. It's part of human nature, so I don't think it should be so shameful...particularly for girls and young girls."







COUNTERFEIT THIS
If you just got an incredible deal on some UGG boots from a guy standing on a corner...you'll never believe this, but they're probably fake.

A website called SiteJabber just put out a list of the top 10 counterfeited items and brands for 2010, check them out.

#1.) UGGs
#2.) Coach handbags and other leather items
#3.) Tiffany jewelry
#4.) Athletic jerseys
#5.) Perfume

WORST-SELLING CARS OF THE YEAR
Auto sales actually got better overall in 2010...Americans bought about 11.5 million cars, up from 10.4 million in 2009. And some brands...like Buick, Cadillac, Infiniti, Ford, Hyundai, and Jeep...had massive years.

But some brands weren't even CLOSE to that lucky. "Forbes" put together this list of the 10 worst-selling cars of the year...all of which saw their sales decrease between 30% and 60% from 2009. Here's the list of the unfortunate 10...

#1.) Smart ForTwo, down 61% - apparently we're done caring about the environment. That, or we don't want to get obliterated into a million pieces should we get into an accident.

#2.) Subaru Tribeca SUV, down 61%
#3.) Mazda RX8, down 50%
#4.) Suzuki SX4 sedan, down 47%
#5.) Suzuki Grand Vitara SUV, down 42%
#6.) Suzuki Equator pickup, down 39%
#7.) Toyota Yaris compact, down 38%
#8.) Mazda Tribute SUV, down 36%
#9.) Scion xD compact, down 31%
#10.) Porsche Cayman, down 31%






MORE CAR NONSENSE...
A British car accessories company just finished up a survey asking men and women what they secretly love and hate about the way the other gender handles themselves in a car.

And basically, it can be summed up like this: Women like when men drive like MEN, as long as they don't get TOO aggressive and dangerous...and men like when women bring food in the car.

Here are all the findings from the survey...

Women love when male drivers know how to fix a flat tire or a broken-down car...know how to park in tight spaces...drive in reverse like a pro...have a good natural sense of direction...and drive like a MAN should drive on the freeway.

Women hate when male drivers tailgate other cars...drive too fast and dangerousl...use a cell phone...start road raging...keep changing the radio station...or live up to the tired old stereotype and refuse to ask for directions.

Men love when female drivers remember to pack food and snacks for long trips...ask for directions when they're lost...show some courtesy on the roads...avoid road rage...and talk to stay awake on night trips.

Men hate when female drivers take forever to maneuver in or out of parking spaces...put on makeup at red lights...are slow to drive when a light turns green...and talk to passengers instead of watching the road.







HATE YOUR JOB? YOU SHOULD WORK FOR GOOGLE...
Apparently it makes people happy to be part of a company that's taken over the world...AND has a chef on staff who cooks you all your meals for free.

According to a nationwide survey by CareerBliss.com, Google has the happiest employees of any company in the U.S.

Google has a reputation for taking care of its employees: They pay well, there's a lot of opportunity for advancement, they cook all your meals, there's a company gym, and they even have an on-site medical staff if you need a quick doctor's visit.

The rest of the top five happiest companies are 3M, DTE Energy, Qualcomm, and...believe it or not...the U.S. Military.

For the survey, employees rated their happiness in areas like growth opportunity, compensation, benefits, work-life balance, career advancement, management, and job security. Almost 100,000 employees were surveyed.

The company on the top 50 list with the lowest average salary was Costco. It came in 30th, and has an average salary of $40,250.

The company with the highest average salary was Sun Microsystems, where the average employee makes $101,662. But they only came in 46th overall on the list.







HOLLYWOOD SPLITSVILLE
Another one I posted for you first on my facebook yesterday. VANESSA HUDGENS turns 22 today...and she might be doing it alone. Pretty much everybody is reporting that she and ZAC EFRON broke up.

A source says, "It's nothing dramatic. There's no third party involved. They were together for so long. It just ran its course." "They are 100% still good friends."

Zac and Vanessa had been together for about four years. Vanessa? Call me.







P!NK BABY NEWS...
"In Touch Weekly" says PINK is having a water birth. But it's not true.

Here's the denial Pink posted on Twitter ... "My mom just told me that "in touch" has informed her that she is invited to my delivery, and that I want a water birth.

"She asked me if she needs to get a snorkel. This is all news to me. Amazing. Good reporting."






EMOTICONS!!!!
A new survey by Mashable.com has finally revealed which EMOTICON people hate the most.

The most hated emoticon is...probably the one I use the most! ":p", which vaguely looks like someone sticking out their tongue.

46% of people say that's their least favorite.

The second-most hated, with 39% of the vote, is the angry face emoticon... >:(

The classic smiley face...came in as the third-most hated emoticon, with 8%. :)

The "confused" face, came in fourth, with 6%. :/

And finally, the frowning face came in fifth with 2%. :(







And with that, I leave you :p
Have a great day! :)
