OH...OH...OH-OH-OH-OH! WEEKEND!

Hey! How ya doin?
We had TINO COURY in town yesterday for a Q92 show...good times, even if he IS a Squeelers fan! He's from Pi**sburgh though, he's allowed I guess.

NEON TREES are our next Next Big Thing show, this WEDNESDAY at Noon. Listen to win 4 PACKS of tickets to the show! They're a BRAND NEW act we JUST started playing, listen for the song "Animal" by them!

It's also an all-request Back In The Day weekend!
Here's some shtuff...









RETIREMENT AT AGE 24
Talk about living the dream! AMANDA BYNES hasn't starred in any theatrical films since 2007, when she did both "Hairspray" and "Sydney White".

She's done two TV movies, and she co-stars with EMMA STONE in a movie called "Easy A", which comes out in September. But after that, she's DONE. Amanda has officially RETIRED from acting...at the ripe, old age of 24. She made the announcement the other night on Twitter.

She said, "Being an actress isn't as fun as it may seem. If I don't love something anymore, I stop doing it. I don't love acting anymore, so I've stopped doing it.

"I know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first I've retired."

She added, "I've never written the movies and TV shows I've been a part of. I've only acted like the characters the producers or directors wanted me to play."

Again, living the dream. I'm 24, like Amanda, and would sure love to retire! Maybe at 64....







GAGA/YANKS...
You may have heard about LADY GAGA by now, going to the YANKEES game last weekend and getting BANNED by the Yanks organization! Apparently she made quite the scene with the players, and in typical GAGA fashion, she wore NO PANTS!

THE GAGA/ROLLING STONE INTERVIEW
Saving you from dropping $5 on the mag!
LADY GAGA is on the cover of the new issue of "Rolling Stone", which is on newsstands now. In the interview, she says that, in some ways, she still feels like Stefani Germanotta...the normal girl she was BEFORE "Lady Gaga."

Photobucket

She says, "When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl. Then I say, 'Bitch, you're Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today.'"

But that doesn't mean she plans on revealing any of that to her fans. She adds, "If I were to ever, God forbid, get hurt onstage and my fans were screaming outside of the hospital, waiting for me to come out...I'd come out as Gaga.

"I don't even drink water onstage in front of anybody, because I want them to focus on the fantasy of the music."

Lady Gaga says she's almost finished with her next album... "I've been working on it for months now, and I feel very strongly that it's finished right now. It came so quickly. Some artists take years...I don't. I write music every day."

She's planning on unveiling the title at midnight on New Year's Eve...and possibly in a very unique way. She says, "I think I'm gonna get the album title tattooed on me and put out the photo."

Lady Gaga says the new music will be a little more political. She says, "Why are we still talking about 'Don't ask, don't tell'? It's like, what (effing) year is it? It makes me crazy!

"And I have been for three years baking cakes...and now I'm going to bake a cake that has a bitter jelly. The message of the new music is now more bitter than it was before. Because the sweeter the cake, the more bitter the jelly can be." (???)

The album is expected to come out early next year.





JT N GLEE
Word has it that JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE is in talks to appear on "Glee" next season. Supposedly, he'd do one episode...playing the younger brother of glee club teacher, Mr. Shuester. (Who's played by MATTHEW MORRISON.)

There's no official line on anything yet...just so-called "insiders" saying the usual things like "the cast members are excited about the prospect of working with him"...and that everyone is, "just trying to work it all out" to make it happen.

I've only half seen one episode of Glee. It was on after IDOL one night and I was too lazy to change the channel. Here, it's set in Ohio! And they were talking about Akron, and EJ Thomas Hall, and the kids even go to McKinley High School! It's not set in Canton though, Lima supposedly. No offense to Lima, but how'd they land that?! We're bigger and better than Lima!!!






SPEAKING OF GLEE....
We heard recently that the producers of "Jersey Shore" hand out anti-STD meds to the cast like they're candy. Well, it sounds like they should do that on the set of "Glee", too.

"Glee" creator RYAN MURPHY has actually been forced to put a NO-SEX-IN-THE-TRAILERS rule in place.

He tells Britain's "Heat" magazine,"I've certainly dated people I've worked with and, you know, when you work on a set for 18 hours a day I think it's natural.

"But I have a rule: Don't do it in your trailer. They've broken that rule on many occasions. I'm like, 'I know you guys are young and hormonal, but don't do it in your trailer'. I'm the dad, that's what I say.'"

Oh snap!!








IT'S TIME TO BUY AMERICAN!
That's because for the first time ever, American cars are breaking down less than foreign cars!
Maybe a near death experience was all the U.S. auto industry needed to FINALLY get its effing act together.

J.D. Power and Associates just released its 2010 Initial Quality Study, which measures how often new cars have problems. And for the first time in history, foreign cars broke down MORE OFTEN than American cars.

It was REAL close, though. The average foreign car brand had 109 problems per 100 vehicles. The average American car brand had 108 problems per 100.

Yes, that means that, if you buy a new car, you're pretty much guaranteed it's going to have a problem at some point.

Even though the American average was slightly better, the highest-quality brand on the list is foreign. It also costs a fortune. PORSCHE was the most-reliable car brand in the 2010 study, with 83 problems per 100 cars sold.

The rest of the top five most-reliable are: Acura, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus and Ford.

Land Rover took its traditional spot as the least-reliable car brand. Land Rover has 170 problems per every 100 cars. Mitsubishi was second-worst, with 146 problems for every 100.









BACK IN THE DAY MUSIC NEWS: JA RULE
JA RULE believes that aging rappers like JAY-Z will always be relevant . . . because hip-hop's audience is aging along with the genre.

He explains, "[Hip-hop is] always going to be a youth-driven business. It's basically a rebellious music, a music of the culture, of the now, it changes constantly, so it's always gonna be youth-driven.

"But here's what you got to understand, as hip-hop gets older, so does the audience. I grew up listening to hip-hop, my kids are growing up listening to hip-hop, we listen to hip-hop together.

"So I'll get a 'Blueprint 3' album for myself and they may want New Boyz. It's a perfect contrast, let it be what it's gonna be. Hip-Hop's not going anywhere because the older we get, we're still listening.

"You gotta think 60 years down the line, if I'm a 60-year-old dude, I think I'm still gonna be listening to hip-hop. (Technically, 60 years down the line, Ja Rule will be a 94-year-old dude.)

"I don't think there's an age limit on hip-hop anymore, like I said, it's always gonna be a youth-driven music but we're growing up and we're getting older and we're still listening to hip-hop so, there's an audience for it all."

Well, there's a slight difference between remaining relevant...and remaining relevant TO the genre. If guys like JAY-Z are still going strong 10 to 20 years from now, it'll be interesting to see if they're still on the cutting edge.









MILEY LOOKING WHORE-Y...
...at last weekend's MUCHMUSIC AWARDS in Canada

PUT ON A LITTLE MOOD MUSIC...
There's a reason that painfully cheesy love ballads have been PRINTING MONEY for almost a century now. It's because they WORK.

A new study in Paris found that women find men more attractive if there's a love song playing than they do if there's a rap, heavy metal or rock song on.

Researchers also found that a woman was TWICE as likely to give a guy her number when the background music in the room was a love ballad.









PIEROGI'S IN PI**SBURGH??
24-year-old Andrew Kurtz of New Brighton, Pennsylvania, used to have a great job: In the fifth inning of every Pittsburgh Pirates home game, he'd dress up as a GIANT PIEROGI. Then he'd participate in the pierogi race (like the Tribe has the hot dog derby)

Unfortunately, last week, the Pirates fired him...when they learned that Andrew posted a Facebook status update that ripped on the Pirates.

He wrote, "Coonelly extended the contracts of Russell and Huntington through the 2011 season. That means a 19-straight losing streak. Way to go Pirates."

To translate that for those who aren't well-versed on the Pirates' front office situation...which, I'm guessing, is pretty much all but like 15 dudes in Pittsburgh...here's what that meant.

Frank Coonelly is the team president and he gave contract extensions through 2011 to the general manager, Neal Huntington, and the manager, John Russell.

Unless there's a miraculous turnaround, this season will be the Pirates' EIGHTEENTH-STRAIGHT losing season...so, Andrew was saying that by extending the GM and manager, the president pretty much guaranteed the 19th too.

Andrew says he learned from the experience, "Don't post personal thoughts about the boss. Just keep quiet."

His mom Mary wasn't so diplomatic. "My son was always a big Pirates fan. He took pride in being a pierogi runner. Since when in this country are you not allowed to state an opinion?"










DRAKE WANTS TO FIND SNOOKI'S LOVE!
Up-and-coming rapper DRAKE probably has a lot of choices these days when it comes to tail. But the tail he's chasing belongs to "Jersey Shore" skank SNOOKI.

The "New York Post" says Drake was putting the moves on Snooki backstage Sunday at the "MuchMusic Video Awards" in Toronto.

A source says, "He was flirting with Snooki and trying to get her to come to his after-party. He was holding her hand the whole time."

Here's the thing, though...Snooki DID show up at Drake's party, but security turned her away. The source says,"Drake found out about it a lot later and was really mad that Snooki didn't get in."







NEW MENU ITEMS AT FRIENDLY'S:
Friendly's restaurants are the latest to hop on that trend. They've just introduced their Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt...which is a hamburger where both the top and bottom buns have been replaced by full GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES.

This burger has 1,500 calories, 97 grams of total fat and 101 grams of carbs. (!!!) On the bright side, it's got 54 grams of protein.

And really, with the way that most restaurants butter their buns, this isn't THAT much worse for you than a regular burger. Friendly's regular hamburger has 1,190 calories, 68 grams of fat and 103 grams of carbs.

So replacing the bun at Friendly's with two grilled cheese sandwiches "only" adds 300 calories and 29 grams of total fat...and actually SAVES you two grams of carbs.

In other words, you can make up the difference in less than a half hour on the treadmill. So, if you're lucky enough to live near a Friendly's (Belden Village, right on the corner of Dressler & Everhard), enjoy this new piece of American ingenuity.

BACK IN THE DAY MUSIC NEWS: OUTKAST!
For a while now, we've been hearing that ANDRE 3000 and BIG BOI will reunite for another OUTKAST album after they each release solo albums. But apparently, that's all they plan on saying.

Big Boi says, "When I do interviews and [people] ask where the OutKast album is, I have to tell them it's top-secret information...and that me and Andre 3000 will have to put something to your temple if I say something about it.

"We made a pact that we will not disclose any information until it's about to come out." As far as we know, there's no timetable for an Outkast disc.








THE TIMES?
A new survey at Penn State University found that women almost UNANIMOUSLY believe that sex is best when it lasts between seven and 13 minutes. Anything more than that is, quote, "too long."

Women said that less than two minutes is too short and three to seven minutes is adequate...but barely.

I find this hard to believe...that women are satisfied after 7-13 minutes. Doesn't seem right to me!








THIS IS FANTASTIC NEWS!
If you really like Subway's white bread, like me, but you choke down the nine-grain bread to be healthy like JARED...you can stop doing that now. I did awhile ago. The nine-grain bread is a joke.

Turns out Subway's nine-grain bread has more high-fructose corn syrup than ANY grain. And only trace amounts of eight of those nine grains. Wheat's the only grain that's well represented, but even that's a scam.

The biggest ingredient in the bread is WHITE FLOUR and the brown color doesn't come from wheat . . . it comes from a compound called ammonium sulfate that's also found in FERTILIZER. Yum!!







Plenty of good stuff for your plate this weekend! Enjoy yourself :)

SWELTERING SATURDAY & SUNDAY

Must...find...pool....now. Need...cool...relief....

Ridiculousy hot Saturday, slightly better Sunday in store. LOTS of Summer fun stuff though! You've got the Jackson Twp. Celebration going on at North Park there, I believe Saturday is the last day of the Jaycee Fair in North Canton. Get out and enjoy the weekend!

We had THE WHITE TIE AFFAIR in town yesterday for an AWESOME Q92 show! Packed 150 winners into Pete's, White Tie signed autographs and hung out, played a few songs...they're fantastic, aren't they?! Love when they do their little medley of pop songs! Good stuff. Can't forget ROCKET TO THE MOON, they were there as well! Hope you guys have as much fun as we do at these events!

NEXT show is TINO COURY this Friday!! Listen all weekend to score tix, PLUS we have new Eminem and Miley CD's all weekend!

Here's some shtuff...







AND WHAT A WAY TO START!
I've got some stats on ADULT LOVE TOYS for you today, straight from some studies by real scientists and researchers at the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists conference. Here we go...

--52.5% of women have used a vibrating love toy. So have 45% of men...

--But, only 17% of those men have used it on themselves. The rest have only used it on a woman.

--In a survey back in 1976, only 1% of people had ever used a vibrating toy.

--Only 3% of women have experienced any pain from OVERUSE of a toy...

--Although 16.5% have experienced some numbness.

--60% of women clean their toys before and after use...and a SHOCKINGLY HIGH 13.8% never, ever clean them. (ewwww)

--And lastly, 7.4% have put a condom on their toy. (Why?!)









SUMMER VACAY? THINK ABOUT THIS...
This is kind of a depressing way to look at vacations, but sadly, it's the truth. It turns out we like PLANNING a vacation more than actually GOING on the vacation itself. And we like both of those WAY more than coming home from a vacation.

A study in a journal called "Applied Research in Quality of Life" found that people's happiness peaks EIGHT WEEKS BEFORE a vacation...right around when you make the decision to go and start doing some real planning.

On the vacation, you're pretty happy...just a little bit less happy than you were during the planning and anticipation stage.

And when you get home...happiness-wise, you're right back to where you were before you started planning the vacation. Even if it was a great vacation, there usually won't be any lingering happiness once work starts crushing your soul again.

Jeroen Nawijn is the author of this study. And he says you can use this information to maximize your happiness by strategically planning lots of little vacations. "Instead of taking one two-week [vacation], take two one-week [ones], spaced well apart." Two-week vacay?! HA!








KATY PERRY...
...is hosting this year's TEEN CHOICE AWARDS, which go down August 9th. This won't be too far off from the release date of her new CD. Btw, did you know she once performed at the Alive Festival right here in Stark County a few years ago? It was before she was kissing girls, back in her teens as a Christian singer under her real name, KATY HUDSON.
Now you know.






TAYLOR-MADE MANIA...
I'm sure there were hundreds of great moments at the CMA (Country Music) Music Fest...but as far as the "Tennessean" newspaper is concerned, none were bigger or more historic than TAYLOR SWIFT'S 13-hour Meet & Greet.

In fact, they're calling it, quote, "Quite likely the biggest single-artist event in CMA Music Festival history."
Here's why: First of all, Taylor didn't want her fans to overheat outside, so she took over the entire, climate-controlled Bridgestone Arena.

Everyone got in free and they were treated to a circus-like event...including tons of free activities like makeovers, video booths and face painting for the kids. She even parked her tour bus inside for everyone to check out.

Once the fans hit the main floor they could get close-up views of Taylor's castle stage set-up from her "Fearless" tour, plus props from other concerts.

She also displayed dresses she wore in her "Teardrops On My Guitar", "Love Story", and "Our Song" music videos.

Remember that backstage Tea Party Room, where Taylor hangs out before shows? That was set up for fans to check out too.

There were the usual Jumbotrons playing Taylor Swift YouTube videos...and clips from her "Saturday Night Live" appearance. And let's not forget the free concert Taylor did right in the middle of it all...at 2:30 P.M.

Best of all, when Taylor realized she couldn't meet with all the fans who were given Meet & Greet wristbands, she extended the event for another 90 minutes...making it a 14.5 hour Meet & Greet.

Pics? Peep 'em!

SAD NEWS IF YOU LIKE CHATROULETTE...
From the moment it started, ChatRoulette has been known for genitals. And sadly, it's made up almost exclusively of MALE genitals. Very few random women sit in front of their webcam with their stuff just hanging out.

In the beginning, when ChatRoulette was just a little site run by a teenager in Russia, the penile onslaught was fine.

But now, every venture capitalist in the world wants a piece of the site...and venture capitalists bring along advertisers. And corporate advertising and genitals just don't mix.

So...according to reports, 17-year-old Andrey Ternovskiy, the guy who founded ChatRoulette in his bedroom in Moscow, is strongly considering adding ANTI-PENIS SOFTWARE to the site.

The software quickly scans a video feed and tries to determine whether or not a guy is exposing himself. If the software detects male junk, it shuts off that user.

There's no word on how effective the software is, or how often it incorrectly identifies the male unit.







CAMERON DIAZ TALKS SEX WITH PLAYBOY...
When CAMERON DIAZ needs a bite of man meat, she's not ashamed to fly across the country to get it.

In a new excerpt from her "Playboy" interview, she says, "Oh gosh, I can't even count how many times I've gotten on a plane for love. It's not unusual in this business; my lifestyle demands it.

"I'm always traveling for (peen). You've got to go where it is." (Cameron didn't say "peen", obviously. She actually used the word that rhymes with SOCK.)

Cameron also reveals that she's into RAW, ANIMALISTIC SEX.
She says, "I'm primal on an animalistic level, kind of like, 'Bonk me over the head, throw me over your shoulder. You man, me woman. Not everybody has the right kind of primal thing for me...I love physical contact. I have to be touching my lover, like, always. It's not optional."

I think over the years, a lot of guys sort of fell out of love with Cameron Diaz. She got a little older and a little too familiar...and a lot of younger minxes came up and stole her thunder. But she might be back in now!








OH YES...PEOPLE THOUGHT JUSTIN BIEBER...
...was illegally drinking at a bar in Maryland. Not to worry, it was just a 27-year-old lesbian! People actually called the cops!!






ADAM "GLAMBERT" NEWS....
I have to say, his new song, "If I Had You", is one of my favs on Q92 right now! ADAM LAMBERT is sporting a new GLAMOROUS look, which includes a partially shaved head. He posted a picture of it on Twitter.

It actually looks like he may have shaved his WHOLE head, because he's also wearing a hat, but he later Tweeted, quote, "Calm down. Just shaved one side." Here's the pic...

Photobucket

...And while I freely admit that I dig his music, I also quickly point out, he's a FREAK of a human-being!









R.I.P. SLIM SHADY...
OK, maybe hiatus? The new EMINEM album, "Recovery", is more serious than his other discs, so it doesn't include an appearance by his notorious "Slim Shady" alter ego. But Slim isn't gone for good.

In an interview with the "New York Times", Eminem said, "Shady still exists. But I don't think the subjects on this record call for, you know, bring the chainsaws and axes out and murder everyone on this record.

"There was so much stuff like that off the last record that I felt like I was starting to run it into the ground. I think consciously I went in a different direction with this record."

That doesn't mean that he regrets anything he's done in the past. He added, "Anything I've ever said, I certainly was feeling at the time. But I think I've calmed down a bit. My overall look on things is a lot more mature than it used to be."

When asked for his thoughts on gay marriage, he said, "I think if two people love each other, then what the hell? I think that everyone should have the chance to be equally miserable, if they want."







THE "MAY VANISH" LIST...
A website called 24/7 Wall Street just released a list of major companies that are in SERIOUS trouble...meaning they'll be sold, bankrupt, or completely EXTINCT by the end of 2011. Here are some of companies that may not exist in 18 months:

#1.) ZALES JEWELERS. The value of Zale Corp. has dropped from $1.3 BILLION in 1999 to $78 MILLION today.

#2.) READER'S DIGEST. Circulation is WAY down and the company's U.S. branch has already had to declare bankruptcy once.

#3.) BLOCKBUSTER. Netflix, Redbox, and On-Demand are killing their stores. They may live on by copying those companies, but the stores could all disappear.

#4.) DOLLAR THRIFTY RENTAL CARS. There are six major rental car brands, and not enough demand to support all of them. And this one's the most likely to go.

#5.) T-MOBILE. It's the number four cell phone provider in the U.S. They'll probably have to merge with another company like Nextel did with Sprint. Too bad really, as they generally offer great prices!

#6.) BP. Obviously...

#7.) RADIOSHACK. It looks like they'll either get taken over by Best Buy or just disappear completely.

#8.) KIA MOTORS. Hyundai owns Kia, and they'll probably just get rid of it. It's a weaker brand name than Hyundai, and there's really no reason for them to keep it alive.








FINALLY...
Whoever invented AIR CONDITIONING...better have won a Nobel Prize!!!!!!
Enjoy your weekend, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all the dad's!

SCORCHIN' SUMMER SHTUFF!

Maybe we should have called it the Q92 scorchin' summer? Eh, next year. The Summer Of Q92 is HERE, though, and we're hooking you up with ALL kinds of face-to-faces with your favorite artists this month! More details further down. But some urgent news.....






MILEY CYRUS DID NOT BREAK UP WITH HER MANTOY!!!!!
Despite her bizarre ode to NICK JONAS during a recent gig, MILEY CYRUS says she and her boyfriend, LIAM HEMSWORTH, have NOT broken up.

Miley hit up her blog last weekend to deny rumors that she and Liam are ON A BREAK. She said, "We are so happy and a lot of that has to do with the amazing relationship he has with my family.

"We are both so busy right now, so having them by our side supporting us and our career is such a blessing! So any type of rumor that said there was drama with them is completely false. Thanks for letting me clear that up."

Photobucket

In a separate post, she defended her recent performance on "Britain's Got Talent"...in which she sort of faked a girl-girl kiss with one of her dancers.

She said, "I promise you I did not kiss her and it is ridiculous that two entertainers can't even rock out with each other without the media making it some type of story.

"I really hope my fans are not disappointed in me because the truth is I did nothing wrong. I got up there and did my job which is to perform to the best of my ability..."

I could totally pull out some Miley jabs here, but I won't! I'll be nice! I know, turning over a new leaf or something....

"GET OVER IT! NOTHING HAPPENED. THERE ARE WAYYYYYYY MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IN THE WORLD. Let's start focusing a little less on making up ignorant rumors and focus a little more on world peace!"

Miles...calm the eff down. Seriously.







OK, ABOUT THOSE MEET & GREETS...
Had to get the breaking Miley news covered. So we've had 3 BANDS come to play shows for Q92 fans in the last week. Mayday Parade, Secondhand Serenade (who's drummer is from RIGHT HERE in Canton, OH!), and Cartel!
Next up, and what a fun show this will be, WHITE TIE AFFAIR and special opener ROCKET TO THE MOON...it's Friday June 18, listen to score your passes.
And of course the Bieber Fever weekend, w/ tix to his Columbus show and you'll be qualified to meet him backstage!







THIS IS ALSO IMPORTANT
I no longer have any attraction to Rihanna. Seriously?!

I miss curly-hair cutie Rihanna of 2005.

DAVE MATTHEWS BAND DEBAUCHERY!
Are you reading this Sarah!?
The DAVE MATTHEWS BAND performed two shows in Saratoga Springs, New York, over the weekend...and police issued 145 citations to fans for underage drinking.

Another 18 fans were cited for marijuana possession (seems low). On top of that, 17 people were arrested for things like disorderly conduct, drug possession and drunken driving...and four of those charges were felonies.

Not sure if this was drug- or alcohol-related, but after Friday's show, a 42-year-old fan was struck and killed by an SUV while walking to a motel.









CARRIE UNDERWOOD...
...is marrying Mike Fisher because his jokes are funny and he's not annoying.
And hey, that seems like a good reason to me!






WEB STUMBLIN'
Here's a great website where you can let the world know: Yes, I used to have a curly mullet and wear acid-washed jeans...which was especially bad since it was 1996...but as an adult, I actually turned out ATTRACTIVE.

The site's called Before You Were Hot, and lets you submit two photos: One of how bad you used to look...and one of how good you look now. The creators take the best before-and-afters and post them for the world to see.
Check out: http://www.beforeyouwerehot.com/








OH COOL...
I just learned that FAMILY MATTERS came out on DVD this week! First season! Steve Urkel, Carl Winslow, the whole gang...gotta pick that up, you know you watched it when you were a kid!









GRADUATION...
Many of you may have already attended a high school graduation ceremony this year. But I'll bet none of you saw anyone there wearing something like THIS:

GAGA's little sis graduated...and Miss Germanotta showed up to the festivities in THAT!









ASHLEY TISDALE...
...is 24, so don't feel dirty looking at this, BUT...what's up with the shorts??

AND NOW...MORE MILEY STUPIDITY!
MILEY CYRUS isn't only distancing herself from her family-friendly, Disney image...she's also separating her work from mindless pop music.

She tells "Billboard" mag, "I listen to zero pop music, which is really weird for someone who makes pop music. My 13-year-old self would have beaten up my 17-year-old self because she would be like, 'You're a sellout!' But that's not what it is.

This is what I hate more than ANYTHING about Miley, and I've ranted on this before. Last fall when it came out that she'd never even HEARD a Jay-Z song, one of the biggest rappers of all time, yet she's singing about Jay-Z songs.
She's not PASSIONATE about her OWN product! She doesn't care! They're spoon-feeding her this s**t and she's spewing back out without even thinking about it!
Give me someone who loves pop music, knows it, and understands it, ANYDAY, before this 'tard of a human being. Anyway, continuing with the story...

"It's not dance music that's just about, 'Ooh, I'm in the club and everyone's looking at me.' It means something. I'm not just sitting here trying to sell glitz and glamour...because no one lives that life.

"A lot of [pop] songs are super shallow, but this music isn't."

Oh yes. It's so meaningful and powerful. Barf.







60% OF THE TIME, IT WORKS, EVERYTIME...
Nope, not Sex Panther...Sex Cougar!?
Calvin Klein's 'Obsession For Men' has just earned the title of THE number one cougar-attracting scent in the universe.

And here's why. Obsession For Men doesn't just attract 42-year-old women with fake blonde hair and press-on nails...it also attracts real, animal COUGARS.

At the Bronx Zoo in New York, zookeepers tried spraying rocks with different scents to see what would attract their big cats. They wanted the cats to be drawn to the rocks so they'd play around and not get bored with their environment.

And Obsession For Men was the HUGE winner. When they sprayed it on a rock, cheetahs, jaguars, tigers and, yes, cougars, would sniff that rock for an average of 11.1 minutes.

In comparison, they'd sniff Revlon's Charlie fragrance for just 15.5 seconds, and Estee Lauder's Beautiful for only TWO seconds.

The zookeepers aren't positive WHY the cats are so drawn to Obsession, but they know it works. Unfortunately, since it costs around $60 a bottle...they rely on donations to the zoo to fund their supply.









AND BEST FOR LAST...THE COSMO SEX SURVEY FOR 2010!!!!
Every year, "Cosmopolitan" magazine runs a survey on its website asking readers to share extremely personal information about their sex lives. Fortunately, their readers have no problem doing that.

Today, we have the brand new results from the 2010 survey.

A couple of quick notes before we jump in: First, they make the assumption that all of the people who filled out the survey were FEMALE. And second, as you'll see, pretty much ALL of them are hetero. Here we go...


SEXUALITY:

Go forth and have a wonderful, sweaty weekend!

Saturday, June 5, 2010

WELCOME TO JUNE - WELCOME TO THE SUMMER!

And the HUMIDITY! Been yucky...stormy and muggy for a few days. Stay dry!!
We've got MAYDAY PARADE in town tomorrow...FRIDAY its CARETL & SECONDHAND SERENADE! I've got your tickets all weekend...

Oh yeah and a BIEBER FEVER WEEKEND! Tickets to the Columbus show on Aug 14 with Sean Kingston, PLUS all winners included to score the BIEBER BACKSTAGE PASS, which we give away Monday on The DeLuca Show!

Here's some shtuff....






BAD BAD DRIVERS...
Every year, GMAC Insurance conducts a study to find out which states have the best and worst drivers. According to the results of this year's study, the five states with the worst drivers are:


#1.) New York

#2.) New Jersey

#3.) Washington, D.C.

#4.) California

#5.) Rhode Island

And the five states with the best drivers are:


#1.) Kansas

#2.) Oregon

#3.) South Dakota

#4.) Minnesota

#5.) Iowa

Ya know, where there are NO PEOPLE!!!

Overall, the study found that if they took a written driving test today, ONE in FIVE licensed drivers wouldn't pass.








AN OIL NATION...
Had a conversation with someone yesterday about how we depend on oil, and no one will ever give up driving. Here's some proof of that. This week, the World Wildlife Fund is running a campaign in Canada aimed at getting people to drive less. The idea is to show people just how bad driving is for the environment, and how much they can help by cutting back.

As part of the campaign, Canadian drivers were given a list of choices and asked...if they HAD to...which they'd rather go without for the rest of their lives. Here are some of their findings:

36% chose junk food.
14% chose coffee.
6% chose TV.
2% chose SEX.
And just 1% chose driving.

In other words, twice as many Canadians would give up sex for the rest of their lives before they'd hang up their car keys for good.







THE FEMALE "GET READY" TIME...
According to a new survey, the average woman spends about 76 minutes getting ready on Monday morning.

But on Tuesday, she spends just 40 minutes getting ready. And by the time Friday rolls around, it takes her just 19 minutes to get ready.

And it's not just women who put less effort into their appearance as the week goes on...guys do it too. According to the survey, the average guy takes 28 minutes to get ready on Monday morning. But that drops to 14 minutes by Tuesday. And the rest of the week, he only needs 11 minutes to get ready for work.








STARTLING STAT...
Talking about SPEEDERS here...In 2009, there were just over 550,000 people living in Washington, D.C., and over 434,000 tickets were given out. That's one ticket for every 1.25 residents!!! So, DON'T speed there!







PERKY!!!
Ladies...there's a new product on the market you really need to know about. It's called Perky Panties, and it's a PHEROMONE-INFUSED wash you can use on your lingerie.

The idea is that after washing your unmentionables in Perky Panties, the pheromones will trigger a natural sexual response in your guy, and make him even more turned on than he already was.

MILEY NEWS...
MILEY CYRUS just took another step toward her goal of becoming America's Next Top Young Female Celebrity Trainwreck...at least according to the "National Enquirer".

The Enquirer is reporting that Miley just dumped her boyfriend, LIAM HEMSWORTH, after he started having some independent career success. (what!?!?! That's the dumbest excuse...)

Liam was basically an unknown until he starred in "The Last Song" with Miley...and started dating her during the filming. Since then, he's been getting more roles, including the lead in the movie "Arabian Nights", with ANTHONY HOPKINS.

So Miley supposedly got jealous of his success, and ended things with him during a huge fight. Also...during that fight, he told her he was tired of dealing with her parents interfering in their relationship and his career and couldn't handle it anymore.

I might have believed it right up until that last part about parental interference. But if Miley's descent into raunchy videos and pole dancing at award shows has taught us anything, it's that her parents have NO CONTROL over her whatsoever.





MILEY RAISES HER INAPPOPRIATE THREAT LEVEL...
The latest stop on MILEY CYRUS' Tour of Teenage Inappropriateness was a performance on "Britain's Got Talent" Thursday night.

She sang "Can't Be Tamed"...and like almost every other time we've seen her perform it, she went a little crazy.
Once again, she showed 100% of her legs and made some sexy dance moves...but this time she topped it off with an ADAM LAMBERT impression.

By that, I mean she appeared to engage in a SAME-SEX KISS onstage.
Now, from the video footage we have, it's unclear whether she actually kissed one of her female dancers...or simply mocked kissing her...but either way, it's probably going to anger some parents.

FORMER "IDOL" CONTESTANT HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD...
...and this is why this show is losing credibility.
Before this past "American Idol" season kicked into gear...all the judges were talking about how strong this year's FEMALE contestants were.

SIMON COWELL even predicted that a girl would win this year's competition.

But in the end, four of the Top Five finalists were guys...with the only girl being runner-up/better singer CRYSTAL BOWERSOX.

Well, former "Idol" contestant BROOKE WHITE...who finished fifth on Season Seven...doesn't think there will EVER be another female winner.

In an interview, she said, "I don't think a girl is going to win 'American Idol' anymore. I don't think a female has a chance. I witnessed first-hand the fans and the impact that they had.

"And I think ever since they opened the voting up to text messaging, that young girl audience has got the power in their hands."

Yep...voting with eyes. Not ears. I told you this weeks ago. You heard it, er...saw it here first.







THE CONAN TOUR...
CONAN O'BRIEN continues his tour across America. It hit NYC the other night, with some surprise guests. Here's a fan-shot video...

T SWEEZY "GETS IT DONE"...
TAYLOR SWIFT does not front when it comes to giving it up for her fans. She just announced she's doing a 13-Hour Meet & Greet at the CMA Music Festival on Sunday, June 13th. It will be open to the public and there's no charge.

Taylor will spend 13 straight hours hanging with her adoring fans at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena from 8:00 A.M. until 9:00 P.M. She'll be signing autographs, posing for pictures and squeezing in an acoustic performance at around 2:00 P.M.
So, fuel up the ride, take a road trip to Nashvegas!!





AND MORE TAYLOR...
THE RETURN!!! Those of you who have been reading for awhile, know that I used to do the "Weekly excuse to show a Taylor Swift picture"...and I'm happy to announce its back, at least for this week. The 20 year old Ms. Swift appears in the next issue of Marie Claire magazine...and Rob likes those legs!!

Here are their picks for the ten best U.S. cities for the next ten years:

#2.) Seattle, Washington
#3.) Washington, D.C.
#4.) Boulder, Colorado
#5.) Salt Lake City, Utah

#9.) West Hartford, Connecticut
#10.) Topeka, Kansas








SCENTED BILLBOARDS!
There's a grocery chain in the southeastern United States called Bloom. Maybe you've heard of it. Or not. It doesn't really matter.

The point is Bloom recently started selling a new type of beef in its stores, and they wanted to let people know about it. So they put up a new billboard on Interstate-77 about 30 miles north of Charlotte, North Carolina, advertising the meat.

It shows a big, juicy piece of steak on the end of a fork. But it's not what the billboard LOOKS like that makes it unique. It's that the billboard emits the SMELL of steak. Seriously.

There's actually a box mounted on the side of the billboard that blows the scent of smoky barbeque and black pepper about 30 to 50 yards down onto the highway.

It's the work of a company called ScentAir Technologies. According to a company spokesman, quote, "Scent is the sense closest linked to memory and emotion. To add it to what you see and hear completes this multi-sense experience." (???)

The billboard will continue to smell like steak for the next two weeks, and the odor will be the strongest during rush-hour traffic in the morning and late afternoon.

WHO'S HUNGRY?! Fire up the grill, I'll be over!
