WY'L WEDNESDAY

Wow, I'm so out of it this morning. Actually, as I type this, it's 11:58 AM, but I've been just staring at this screen for at least 3 or 4 minutes.
Hey, homeward stretch! Friday is coming!

Let's hang again tonight, 7-Midnight?

P!NK'S PREGNANCY HAS MADE HER CLUMSY...
I'm betting a lot of ladies can relate to this: PINK says pregnancy has made her clumsy. She Tweeted, "I am the clumsiest I have ever been in my life. Fell AGAIN today! I feel like my 92 yr old grammom … #dumb."

She added, "I just feel...silly. I fell up the stairs."

I've done that before. Should I blame it on my pregnancy? Oh wait that's just a food baby. Nevermind.
At least her pregnancy is going better than her mother's. Pink also Tweeted, "My dad drug her by her coat 20 feet hanging from the car door in snow when I was in her tummy."

Some of the follow-up comments on her Facebook are rather funny :)








MARIAH IN LABOR?
MARIAH CAREY may have gone into labor yesterday. Because early in the evening, NICK CANNON posted the following Tweet...

"On a plane back to NY. Praying Dem Babies wait for DADDY to come back b4 they pop out!"








ABOUT THOSE RIHANNA SHORTS...

THEY'RE PAINTED ON!!!








WOULD YOU RATHER...GET DUMPED OR PUNCHED IN THE FACE??
According to a new study, when you get dumped, it triggers a special area of your brain. And no, despite the evidence to the contrary, it's not the area of your brain that suddenly makes you want to listen to Celine Dion songs.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have found that getting dumped triggers the same part of the brain as getting PUNCHED IN THE FACE.

The region of the brain that responds to physical pain overlaps with the region that responds to social rejection. So when you feel severe physical pain or severe emotional pain, your brain interprets them the same way.

Ethan Kross is a psychology professor who led the study. He says, "These results give new meaning to the idea that rejection 'hurts.' It's not [just] a metaphor."









LADIES, ARE YOU *GASP* TURNING INTO YOUR MOTHER?
Ladies, one day you're going to wake up and realize you've turned into your MOTHER. A new survey has tried to pinpoint exactly WHEN that's going to happen.

In the survey by Hallmark, of all people, the average woman says she turned into her mother at age...32.

Ladies, have YOU turned into your mother yet? In what way?

The most common sign that you've become your mother is that you find yourself WORRYING MORE. The other common signs are stocking up on groceries, going to bed early, being more outspoken, and....watching soap operas.

Two out of five women say they've also found themselves talking to their children with phrases that their mother used with them.

25% of women say they've accepted that they've turned into their mother. 15% say they're actually HAPPY about it...17% are miserable about it and say they will keep on fighting it until the day they die.

One more finding from the study: One-third of MEN also say that THEY'VE turned into their mothers. (!!!)








...ON THE ROOF
College students are still combining crazy stunts and reckless sex. Refreshing, isn't it?

Some photos surfaced online yesterday of two students at the University of Southern California who had relations on top of a SCHOOL BUILDING. In broad daylight. Apparently with people down in the quad below.

There's not too much that's known about the students...like who they are, who took these photos of them, how much trouble they're in. We do know that the girl kept her shirt on, though, for what that's worth.

UPDATED WITH PICS



Damn...



INCOMING!!!









I HOPE MY KID IS DUMB...
I guess this is a reason to hope your kid turns out kinda dumb. Because the smart ones can REALLY turn out to be a-holes.

17-year-old Rachel Hachero of Lee County, Florida is a smart kid. According to her mother, she's been accepted into several Ivy League schools.

Last week, she and her mother went to a Nissan dealership. Rachel really wanted a 2004 black Nissan 350Z. (!!) If you don't know, those are NICE, sexy, sleek cars. Very sporty. Seems like more of a dude car... But her mother REFUSED to co-sign for the car.

They argued...Rachel ended up pulling out a GUN...A FREAKIN' GUN!!!...PISTOL WHIPPING her mom in the head...and threatening to shoot her if she didn't co-sign.

Her mother called the cops...but then backpedaled and said she didn't want to press charges because it might mess with Rachel's college prospects. (Are you seeing a problem here? A glaringly obvious one? Daughter runs the show, obviously)

The police decided to charge Rachel anyway. She was hit with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, unlawful possession of a firearm, and battery.

The gun that she used was reported stolen in a robbery last July. The police are still trying to figure out how she got it.








FIVE AWFUL REASONS TO POP OUT A KID...
There are a lot of good reasons to have kids. But the website Babble.com decided to be a little more pessimistic about it. Here are the five WORST reasons to have a baby.

#1.) Because You Want Unconditional Love. Sure, your kid will probably love you, but it'll also cry, throw tantrums, and need constant attention. So if you just want something to love you unconditionally, try a puppy first. (Hey, the website wrote these, but what about when the puppy pisses on your couch and eats your shoe?)

#2.) Because You Think It'll Save Your Marriage. It might work in the short term, but if you're already having problems, there's a good chance that having a baby will just put even MORE strain on your relationship, especially as the child gets older.

And if you eventually decide to get a divorce, it'll make things much more complicated and painful.


#3.) Because You're Sick of Your Parents Nagging You About It. Remember, they won't be the ones doing all the work and dealing with the added stress.

And if you're not ready for a baby yet, taking care of one will be much more annoying than dealing with your mom's nagging.


#4.) Because Your Brother or Sister Had a Kid, and Now They Get All the Attention. First of all, there's no guarantee that having a baby will change anything, because your parents might end up favoring the first-born grandchild no matter what.

Plus, having a baby is irreversible. So sibling rivalry should have NOTHING to do with your decision.


#5.) You Think Having a Baby Will Make You Less Selfish. If you'd describe yourself as somewhat self-centered, then having a kid might not change you. It might just make you unhappy.

That's not to say that having a baby won't change your priorities AT ALL. But you shouldn't have a kid just to fix something about yourself.

THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO....

Current personal conundrum? (it's not really a conundrum) Dry skin! Mainly on my hands. Which makes me think, it's March 29, shouldn't be dealing with dry skin anymore! Because it shouldn't be this cold!!!

POLICE CONFISCATED A GUY'S STEREO...
And why would they do THAT?
It was after he kept his neighbours awake by blaring out the Whitney Houston hit "I'm Every Woman"

The man in question, who has not been named, irritated other people living in his apartment building by playing his 'tiny collection of CDs', including the Whitney song and rap songs by 50 Cent, over and over again.

He was served with a noise abatement notice but, when this went unheeded, officers were forced to break down the door and confiscate his CDs and stereo!

What Q92 artist would make YOU call the police if you had to hear it blaring over and over again?








SHOCKING! WOMEN ARE MORE ATTRACTED TO YOU...
...when they aren't sure if you're attracted to them.
WOAH!!!

A study that tells us EXACTLY what every single person already knows. Yep, scientific proof that nothing turns a woman off quicker than actually showing interest in her.

A new study by the University of Virginia found that women are more attracted to a man when they're not SURE if that man is interested back. Once the man shows clear interest, the woman becomes less into him.

Erin Whitchurch co-authored the study. She says, "If you can get a person to think about you, you can make that person think they're attracted to you. Uncertainty is one way to get them to think about you."







CHRIS BROWN'S BROKEN WINDOW COST $2000...
The window that CHRIS BROWN broke backstage at "Good Morning America" last week cost $2,055.36 to replace.

That's $583.26 for the glass, and $1,472.10 for labor.
It took three guys five hours to do it. Sounds like a union job to me? A company called Philip Kaplan Glass Works did the job.

RadarOnline.com says Chris offered to pay for the window, but ABC turned him down.

Talk about being an enabler. They refuse to prosecute or even make him pay for the damage he caused. Why? Because they want him back for an EXCLUSIVE, no doubt. WITH Rihanna. Deets on my FB page on that, www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage

In related news, Chris Brown's publicist Tammy Brook resigned late last week. But it supposedly had nothing to do with his tantrum. Riiiiiiight.










FRIDAY, ANYONE?
Whether you like it or not, 13-year-old "Friday" superstar REBECCA BLACK is launching a music career. She has a manager now, and his team has built a website for her at RebeccaBlackOnline.com.

It already has a bio, photos, and videos...and of course, that flawless "Friday" video itself. (Which now has like 60 MILLION views, btw.) But that's not all.

Supposedly, Rebecca is drawing interest from major record labels.

Her new manager says, "Record labels have been contacting [us] about Rebecca. There is definitely interest from real record labels. They've found out she can sing.

"With all this exposure, we're looking at her coming out with more songs and an album. We've been getting submissions from a lot of fantastic songwriters. That's a good sign."

Hmmm. And now, for the BAD sign...
None of these people seem to be grasping the fact that we ONLY care about "Friday" because it's so terrible. If it were better, it'd be mediocre...and she'd be indistinguishable from the MILLIONS of mediocre "singers" on YouTube.










I'M HERE TO TELL YOU, THIS IS JUNK RIGHT HERE...
According to a new study, the average man doesn't start feeling OLD until he hits age 58.

OK, I'm 25 and I'm pretty I already feel old! Then again, no one said I was average...

The average woman starts feeling old at...age 29.

WOW, 58 for guys but 29 (!!!) for the ladies!

That means it literally takes TWICE as long for men to feel old.

The most common thing that made women start to feel old was finding gray hairs or SAGGING body parts. The most common thing that made men start to feel old was when they couldn't perform in bed!

The second-most common thing that made men start to feel old? When they start thinking that music is being played too loud in bars. Hahahahaah!!

Cary Cooper is a psychology professor at Lancaster University in England. He says, "Magazines are filled with young, attractive women. Women start to perceive themselves as old when they no longer feel...trendy or fashionable.

"Men, on the other hand, don't have to be good looking, it doesn't concern them. At 30, women have matured, they're expected to think about getting married and starting a family.

"The majority of men are much more career oriented...they don't feel old until they've reached retirement age."








WELL, LOOK AT YOU....
Hey, every study may show that women make less money than men...but, in the male gender's defense, we NEED that extra money because we don't have the supple, perky breasts that are necessary to get a bunch of discounts.

According to a new survey, 85% of women say they've FLIRTED to get a discount...and that's just in the past month.

You sneaky sneaky ladies...

The most common techniques are hair tossing, eye contact, giggling, and being overly friendly. The most common places to flirt for discounts are bars, electronics stores and gyms.

And...the flirting works.

The average woman surveyed saves $240 every year, or an average of $20 a month, by flirting.

And 56% say they've gotten things completely free just by flirting.

When the flirting doesn't work and they have to pay full price, more than two out of three women say they get VERY embarrassed...and 92% will actually leave and go shop around.

The survey also found the top 10 things that people of both genders REFUSE to buy without a discount. In order, they are: Car, vacation, TV, house, clothes, phone, furniture, computer, camera, and cable subscription.







RIHANNA ON ROLLING STONE...
...see it on my FB today: www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage







NICKI MINAJ GIVES A LAP DANCE TO WEEZY...
NICKI MINAJ gave LIL WAYNE a lap-dance at their show in New York on Sunday night. She sat him down, and told him, quote, "You got three rules: Legs open, hands behind your back, mouth shut."

100...NO, 139 IN A 55...IN A NEON!!!
The hook of this story isn't that police in caught a man driving 139 in a 55. That's crazy, but not even close to crazy enough to end up on my radar.

No, the reason we're talking about this is because the guy was doing 139 in a 55...IN A DODGE NEON!!!!

Yep...he was almost tripling the speed limit in one of the most generic, boring cars of the last three decades.
Now, I owned a Dodge Neon for 3 years. I don't even recall if the speedometer GOES that high!

The man is 23 years old and his name wasn't released. He was driving through Saguenay, Quebec, Canada when he was caught.

The car was a 2003 Dodge SX 2.0...they changed the name of the Neon to the "SX" in Canada that year in an attempt to get rid of the Neon stigma. It didn't work, and Neons haven't been made since 2005.

The driver is looking at fines of $2,137 for speeding, $274 for worn out tires, and $1,267 because he had a PASSENGER at the time and was putting that person's life in danger. He could also lose his license for two years.

He was not under the influence at the time.

HEY...(IT'S) MONDAY!

Speaking of HEY MONDAY (and ALL TIME LOW)...you can win tix to see them on Q92 this week! As always, www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage "FACEBOOK OFFICIAL" Facebook founder MARK ZUCKERBERG has been dating his girlfriend Priscilla Chan for years. But he JUST got around to updating his relationship status on his own website. This past Sunday, he finally admitted that he's "In a Relationship." TEAM LOSES? WIFE BEATING GOES UP! Well, this is definitely a reason why an NFL lockout might be a good thing. Sure, we'll all be bored to death on Sundays...but a LOT of a-holes might stop hitting their wives. According to a new study by the U.S. National Institute of Health, when NFL teams lose games they were supposed to win...it leads to domestic violence. Obviously that won't happen here...the Browns are RARELY supposed to win! The researchers studied the results of 900 NFL regular season games for six teams...Carolina, Detroit, New England, Denver, Kansas City, and Tennessee...and the domestic violence reports in their respective cities on game day. Wait, really? Carolina and Detroit are awful! Anyway... And they found that after a team lost in an UPSET, domestic violence rose a full 10% in its city within the three hours after the game. Like, if the Patriots lost a game they were supposed to win, the domestic violence rate in Boston jumped 10%. If the Patriots won their game, or lost a game where they weren't favored, domestic violence rates didn't jump at all. It was even worse when a team was upset by a RIVAL. In those cases, the domestic violence rates jumped 20%. So, when the Browns last beat the Squeelers, women all over Western PA got a beatdown from their man? Luckily, for those ladies, this rarely happens. David Card co-authored the study. He says, "This isn't limited to football. Someone who gets a speeding ticket on the way home might also be more likely to act out in a way he would later regret." NO NICKI MINAJ ON THE X-FACTOR Word has it that NICKI MINAJ is no longer in the running to be an "X Factor" judge. Of course, that's assuming she was even a contender in the first place. So-called "sources connected to Nicki" say she's not doing it, "There's nothing going on with ['X Factor']." SIMON COWELL wasn't doing much to curb the speculation. This week, he told "XXL" magazine, "We spoke to Nicki actually about a lot of projects. It wasn't specifically about this, but we were just very interested to meet her. "I'm a big fan of hers. So I don't know if it's gonna be this show or something in the future, but [she] was definitely somebody I wanted to meet." This rumor has always been hard to believe. Even though "X Factor" is surely a high-paying, high-profile gig...Nicki's career is just now taking off. And reality show judges tend not to have careers that are on the upswing, if you know what I mean. Plus, she doesn't have the career track record yet to be respected. She just released her debut album four months ago! I just don't get how anyone could really believe this is a possibility. If it DID happen, it would be a VERY bizarre move...by both Simon and Nicki. DON'T OVER-DO IT!!! A new report broke down every state in the U.S. with one main question: How many people there are willing to get off the couch and exercise for a few hours a week? And the results are just about what you'd expect. TENNESSEE (wooooo-EEEEEE) finished in last place on the list. Only 51.8% of adults there do any sort of moderately-intense activity for at least two hours a week. They just beat out Louisiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Alabama. On the other end, VERMONT has the most active residents...73.3% of the people there exercise for at least a few hours a week. They just beat out Alaska, Montana, Utah, and Maine. Overall, nationwide, 64.5% of people do at least a few hours of moderate physical activity every week. And 25.4% of us do absolutely NO physical activity every week. That's it for today, more soon...tomorrow perhaps :)

FREAKIN' FRIDAY...FREAKIN' WEEKEND, BABY!

Hangin' on Q92 3-7pm today - ALL REQUEST BACK IN THE DAY WEEKEND! 90's and 2000's hits, as chosen by you!

THE WAR ON...GLEE?
For some reason, DAVE GROHL of the FOO FIGHTERS is just now commenting on the back-and-forth between "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy and KINGS OF LEON. And he's ridin' with Kings of Leon.

Earlier this year, Murphy UNLOADED on Kings of Leon...seemingly out of the blue...because they refused to allow "Glee" to use their music.

Dave really went off on Murphy, saying, "It's every band's right, you shouldn't have to do (effing) 'Glee'. And then the guy who created 'Glee' is so offended that we're not, like, begging to be on his (effing) show...

"(Eff) that guy for thinking anybody and everybody should want to do 'Glee'."

He then offered this recap, "The 'Glee' guy, what a (effing) jerk. Slash was the first one. [Murphy] wanted to do Guns N' Roses, and Slash is like 'I (effing) hate musicals. It's worse than "Grease".'

"Then [Murphy's] like, 'Well of course he'd say that, he's a washed up ol' rock star, that's what they (effing) do.' And then Kings of Leon say, 'No, we don't want to be on your show.' And then he's like, 'Snotty little (A-holes)...'

"And it's just like, 'Dude, maybe not everyone loves 'Glee'.' Me included. I watched 10 minutes [of an episode]. It's not my thing."

Ryan Murphy DOES seem to have a sense of entitlement about being able to use any song he wants on "Glee". He needs to learn that it doesn't work that way.

MAJOR props from me to Dave Grohl!







THE KEY TO GETTING AHEAD AT WORK?
You should probably think about this the next time you work yourself to the bone and pull an all-nighter to finish something at the office. When it's all said and done...it's not going to get you a promotion.

According to a new survey by the consulting firm Accenture, the majority of Americans believe that HARD WORK and LONG HOURS are the keys to moving up in the workplace.

Women are especially likely to believe that...68% believe that hard work is the key to a promotion.

Well...your boss disagrees. When executives were asked to name the main things they look for from their employees, NONE (!!) of them said "hard work."

The two most popular answers were employees who share their ideas and intelligent perspectives...and employees who show their bosses how their unique skills can help the company out.

Basically, a hard worker is less likely to be promoted than someone who has the mind of a leader and shows they're valuable to the company.







WAS THIS YOU, MOUNT UNION KIDS?
Pretty sure half the student population at MUC went to Florida for Spring Break this year. Hopefully the girls in the back weren't Mount students. Wait, girls in the back?

See, it's hard to tell from this story if the car thief is REALLY smooth...or if drunken Spring Break naps are REALLY intense. We're guessing it's some of both.

Last week in Steel City, Florida, a man stole a Chevy Equinox from the parking lot of a convenience store while two 24-year-old spring breakers were still in the backseat, sleeping. Or, more likely, passed out.

Nothing like going on spring break at age 24. Never grow up!!!
The driver had pulled over to run into the store. While he was inside, the thief quickly broke into the car and drove off.

Eventually, the two people in the backseat woke up and realized they didn't know the guy driving the car. They threatened him, and eventually he pulled over and hopped into a car with some of his friends.

Well police tracked down the thief...he's 26-year-old Kevin Tyrone Moore of Dothan, Alabama.
He's been charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle and two counts of kidnapping.








QUOTEABLE...
"I'm not gonna preach that I'm a role model. I'm a (effing) musician!"
That would be Bruno Mars in an interview with "GQ"

He adds, "But I've learned people are watching...so don't do nothing stupid."
We'll assume he didn't mean to use a double-negative there. English teachers are watching too, Bruno!







WORLD'S TOP BRANDS...
You probably buy a lot of stuff from Amazon.com. Amazon.com is so big now that I bet almost no one goes there anymore thinking it's a porno site featuring gigantic women.

Wait, did that happen? Anyway...

According to a new study, Amazon.com is now the number one brand in the world.

The study was done by a communications research firm called Millward Brown. They found that Amazon had the best mix of people believing it was both a solid, reputable brand...and the place to find the best value and prices.

Worldwide, the rest of the top 10 goes: Colgate . . . Nokia . . . Pampers . . . VISA . . . Coca-Cola . . . Microsoft . . . McDonald's . . . Nescafe . . . and a European supermarket chain called Lidl.


Amazon was also number one in the U.S. The rest of our list looks a little different than the global one. It goes Amazon . . . Crest . . . Coca-Cola . . . Folgers . . . Bud Light . . . Walmart . . . Microsoft . . . Colgate . . . Dell . . . and HP.

Notice that Bud Light and Walmart made our list...while McDonald's made the international list but not the U.S. one.







BACK IN THE DAY MUSIC NEWS: JA RULE
Every once in a great while...a rapper is stricken with such an incredible hardship that you would NOT want to switch places with them, even with all their money, fame, talent, cars, women and perceived street cred.

Today's Rapper You Don't Want to Be is: JA RULE.

For starters, Ja Rule will never again have the all the money, fame, cred and whatnot that he had 9 or 10 years ago. It isn't coming back. No one cares about him anymore.

Then there's his legal rabbit-hole. Earlier this month, Ja Rule had an impending two-year prison sentence on a gun charge delayed by a judge. Why? To give him time to take care of a federal tax issue. And that didn't go well either.

Tuesday, Ja Rule pleaded guilty to not filing tax returns with the IRS for five years, from 2004 to 2008. He owes more than $1.1 million. Ja Rule has agreed to pay that money back, but he may also be looking at more prison time.

In all, he pleaded guilty to three counts of tax evasion, with each one carrying a maximum one-year prison sentence. However, it's unclear how much time this will add to his existing sentence, if any.







YOU...COULD PLAY TUPAC IN A MOVIE...
There's a movie in development called "Tupac", which is about...DUH... TUPAC'S life...specifically the latter part of it, up until his murder. This has nothing at all to do with the fact that they made a movie about BIGGIE's life, I'm sure (sarcasm)

If you think YOU could play Tupac, well you're in luck: Because the production company has opened up an online casting call, asking for actors to send in audition reels. And you don't have to look EXACTLY like Tupac.

One of the producers says, "We're looking for someone with the right mix of raw charm and charisma for the role.

"At this point, we're more concerned about finding someone with the ability to give their entire heart into the performance than just looks and personality."

That being said, if you're a little white dude like me, don't bother.
The site is InSearchOfTupac.com.

You'll need to send them your performance of a scene that they provide...and perform a Tupac rap. They're accepting submissions up through April 30th.








I CAN THINK OF MANY WORSE WAYS TO DIE...
According to a new study out of Tufts Medical Center in Boston, if you're in bad shape, your chance of having a heart attack significantly goes up during relations.

During sex or right after, when your heart rate is all elevated, you have a 270% higher chance of a heart attack than normal. Of course, that assumes you're really being ACTIVE during sex...if you're boring and just kinda lay there, it's not quite so high.

The study also found that you're 350% more likely to have a heart attack when you're exercising versus when you're not.

Of course, even with those increased percentages, your chance of a heart attack still isn't that great. For every 10,000 people, sex or exercise MIGHT trigger one to two heart attacks per year.

The message here is that it's better for you to be in shape than be out of shape...because if you're out of shape, even sex can put your heart at risk.








LIVING WITH REGRETS?
According to a new study, almost half of women still have deep, deep regrets about the 'One Who Got Away.' The study also found that men regret the one that got away...but their "one" is a high-paying job. I'm not gonna lie, I have some regrets about my career.

The study was done at Northwestern University. Researchers surveyed 370 adults, ranging from 20 years old to 80, and asked them to list their biggest regrets.

The number one answer for women was ROMANCE. 44% of them said the biggest regret of their life was, "the one who got away, a missed opportunity, or someone you knew [once] with whom it didn't quite work out."

That was more than double the amount of men who had a romantic regret...only 19% gave that as their number one answer. Can't say that one really matters to me.

Men were FAR more likely to regret something in their career. 35% of men said something work-related was their biggest regret, making it the number one answer. Less than a quarter of the women surveyed said that.

Family issues were the second-biggest regret for both genders.

The main family regrets were generally from people who were estranged from a family member...and in some cases didn't get to apologize before that person passed away.

They haven't released the specific order of the other regrets that got big chunks of votes, but they said those include not going to college, not getting divorced sooner, or choosing money over passion.







FORGET 'WHITE FLIGHT'...'BLACK FLIGHT' IS HERE...
Oh, how things come full circle. Over the past several decades, people have talked about "white flight"...if you don't know, that's white people fleeing to the suburbs to get away from the black people living in the city.

Well, now it's reversed. "White flight" is dead, and "black flight" is on.

Younger white people are planting themselves in the city...and black families are fleeing to the suburbs to get away from them and their hipster bars, ironic sports leagues, and restaurants with names like "Eat" and "Food."

Twenty of the 25 largest cities in the country saw declines in the number of black residents in the 2010 census. The suburbs around those cities all saw gains, as did smaller cities in the south.







MORE BLOG TOMORROW OR SUNDAY...when I feel like it :)

SATURDAY SMASHER

Dude...it's been WAY too long since an update. Like, 10 days? Unacceptable, my apologies, and here's a mega-update for ya!


THE BIGGEST STORY OF THE WEEK: WHO *IS* REBECCA BLACK?
Well over 14 million people have subjected themselves to REBECCA BLACK'S timeless classic, "Friday", on YouTube...and finally, we're starting to crack the mystery of who this girl is, and what the hell she was doing.

But be forewarned: The new developments might make you feel bad for this girl, despite the fact that you curse her name every time "Friday" starts playing in your head on an endless loop.

First off, Rebecca is a 13-year-old eighth grader from California. She and her mother, Georgina Kelly, gave an extensive interview to TheDailyBeast.com. Here's what you need to know...

A company called Ark Music Factory was involved...and as expected, they're more to blame for the "Friday" phenomenon than Rebecca is.

Rebecca and her mother purchased a $2,000 package from Ark Music Factory so that Rebecca could get some experience in the music business. For that price, they gave her the song, produced a video and unleashed it on YouTube.

Rebecca says she was given the choice between two pre-written songs. Yes, you heard that right. Despite what you may have thought, "Friday" was written by an ADULT.

She says, "I didn't write it at all. The other song was about adult love...I haven't experienced that yet. 'Friday' is about hanging out with friends, having fun. I felt like it was my personality in that song."

That being said, Rebecca WAS aware that the lyrics were ABYSMAL. But ultimately, she just went ahead with it.

Rebecca's mom says, "A few times, when I heard some of the lyrics, I was like, 'That doesn't make sense. Rebecca said, 'I sang it as they wrote it, Mom.' So I didn't micromanage it."

So who did create this nonsense? That would be Ark Music boss Clarence Jey, who co-wrote and produced it. He also gave some comments in the interview, but he didn't explain his songwriting prowess. Instead, he gave Rebecca some props.

He said, "Funniest part of the whole thing is Rebecca Black is actually [an] amazing singer [with] a unique tone and a fantastic, fun person. The concept we feel seems to have crossed a lot of boundaries, for the better or worse."

If she had such an amazing voice, with "a unique tone," then why did you completely smother it with thick auto-tune? I'm just sayin'

The visceral hate for REBECCA BLACK'S breakout hit, "Friday", seems to increase with every YouTube hit, and Rebecca is well aware of that.

She says, "Those hurtful comments really shocked me. At times, it feels like I'm being cyber-bullied."

Rebecca says that Ark Music Factory DID ask her if she wanted them to take the video down, but she told them to keep it up. She explains, "I decided not to give the haters the satisfaction that they got me so bad I gave up."

And she's going to continue to pursue her music career. She's planning on recording an acoustic version of "Friday", which would NOT be auto-tuned. She says, "I want to show people there's more to me than they think."

I applaud that move, although it wouldn't hurt to abandon "Friday" and sing something else...anything else...even if it's a cover of another song. I think she has enough name-recognition now to step away from "Friday".

Not everything is bad, though. Rebecca says she has begun profiting from this insanity...and adds that she's going to donate some of the money to the relief efforts in Japan.












WELL THIS IS DISTURBING...
Sure, it's nice to find people when you're dating who have similar interests, beliefs, values, all that garbage. But there's a new dating site launching this month with a compatibility factor that trumps ALL of those.

The site is called FindYourFacemate.com, and it will hook you up with...someone who LOOKS LIKE YOU.

I suppose this is good for the heavily conceded? I sure as hell don't wanna stare at myself!

Studies in the past HAVE shown that we tend to be initially attracted to people who have somewhat similar facial features. So FindYourFacemate is trying to formalize that process.

The site will use facial recognition software to find someone who closely matches you in six different areas: Eyes, ears, nose, chin, the corners of your mouth, and the center of the mouth.

Once it finds your facial matches, THEN you can actually look at the person's profile and decide if you're interested in talking to them.

Right now there's nothing up on FindYourFacemate.com...it's just one of those pages with a bunch of random ads...but the founder says she's planning to launch sometime this month.







HOLD A GRUDGE?
This explains some things! I've known a few people over the years who have been experts at holding onto things. According to a study at the University of Minnesota, people who didn't feel a secure relationship with their mother when they were very young are more likely to HOLD GRUDGES than people who had a better bond with their mom.

The study found that people who had tight bonds with their mother are better at controlling their negative emotions, and being reasonable during an argument.








STOP AND STARE...AT YOURSELF...
So there's this girl I know...I won't out her with a name, and I doubt she's reading this...but you know how you can put different images as your wallpaper on the phone? Maybe you put your girlfriend/boyfriend, a pet, your kid, whatever. This girl put pics of HERSELF on her phone's background! The first time I saw it I was like "who the hell wants to look at themselves?!" She got all embarrassed and changed it but the next time I saw her...back to a pic of HERSELF!

Anyway, it's kind of similar to this. Do you have one of those friends who CONSTANTLY floods Facebook with photos? Like...you haven't talked to her since high school, but you've seen 8,000 pictures of every vacation she's taken in the past five years?

Yeah...she's got self-esteem issues.

According to a new study from the University of Buffalo, women who base their self-worth and self-esteem on their appearance share more photos online...and have more Facebook friends...than women who are more secure.

They didn't find the same connection with men.








IT'S ON!!! NE-YO vs. SNOOKI
NE-YO lost a fan earlier this week. And that fan was SNOOKI.

On Monday, Ne-Yo expressed his disdain over "Rolling Stone's" decision to put Snooki on the cover of their current issue.

He Tweeted, "Wow. Snooki is on the cover of 'Rolling Stone' magazine. Really? I quit. (Just kidding, but almost serious.)"

"No disrespect to Snooki, I don't know her, but damn 'Rolling Stone'? REALLY? REALLY! I guess...I feel a rant coming on, but at the sake of sounding like I'm complaining or even hating, Imma chill. I got y'all. New album on the way."

The next day, Snooki responded, "Ne-Yo's mad that I got the cover of 'Rolling Stone'? Hm, you lost a loyal fan. What a buzz-kill. #Sorry."

Ne-Yo wasn't exactly crushed to hear that. He said, "I think I'll be all right."

Ne-Yo wasn't alone. PINK also rolled her eyes at the cover...Tweeting, "Dear 'Rolling Stone', Really?"







LIL KIM KNOWS WHO KILLED BIGGIE...
LIL KIM is opening her mouth again, which means it's time for another edition of: SHUT THE EFF UP WHEN GROWN FOLKS IS TALKIN'!
In a radio interview in Orland, Lil Kim put forth a theory as to who was responsible for the murders of TUPAC SHAKUR and the NOTORIOUS B.I.G..

It was...THE GOVERNMENT. Yup. And why would the government do it? To keep them from RUNNING FOR MAYOR. (Well sure. That sounds perfectly reasonable.)

She said, quote, "I always felt like Biggie and Tupac's deaths was bigger than how they tried to make it believed to be...them two was very powerful guys.

"They both could have ran for mayor just like Arnold Schwarzenegger and probably won, and you know I think the government is looking at it like...

"We can not have these two hood dudes with this much power running for mayor or something like that and winning. Because they feel like they would have lost control I think. I just think it's way deeper than people believe it to be."

FWIW, Arnold isn't a mayor. He's a governor. But whatever.







KILL THY PASSION...
According to a new survey, these are the top 10 things you do that are "PASSION KILLERS" for your relationships. You guilty of any of these?

#10.) Disgusting bathroom habits, like leaving nail clippings on the floor, or a stained toilet bowl.

#9.) Bad fashion choices, and not regularly replacing your underwear with new, more attractive underwear.

#8.) Snoring.

See, 8 screws me...but if you balance it out with 9, we're good. You can deny the hotness of cassette tape boxers. (???)

#7.) Drinking too much alcohol.

#6.) Not bringing the romance anymore.

#5.) Too much time with in-laws or extended family. Especially having one of your parents move in with you. (yikes!)

#4.) Personal cleanliness and hygiene issues.

#3.) Long work hours.

#2.) Becoming too tight or too loose with money.

#1.) Gaining weight, and a lack of exercise.








WEALTHIEST HIP-HOP STARS...
Forbes.com has released a list of The Five Wealthiest Hip-Hop Artists...and DIDDY came out on top, with a fortune of $475 MILLION.

Obviously, Diddy didn't rake in $475 million in album sales. That total includes all income, which for Diddy includes his Sean Jean clothing line, his Bad Boy record label and his Ciroc vodka brand.

1.) Diddy, $475 million
2.) Jay-Z, $450 million
3.) Dr. Dre, $125 million
4.) Birdman, $100 million...why? In addition to being a rapper, he's the founder of Cash Money records, which represents Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Drake....and formerly Juvenile, right?! "Cash Money Records takin' over for the 9-9 and the 2000"
5.) 50 Cent, $100 million

Forbes.com says RUSSELL SIMMONS would've made this list...but they wanted to keep it exclusive to performers. They also kept the list short, because of the lack of information available on those who made less than $100 million.







EMINEM GOES DIAMOND...
The Recording Industry Association of America has certified EMINEM'S 2002 album "The Eminem Show" Diamond...or 10-times Platinum...which means that it's sold 10 MILLION copies.

This is the album that has his smashes "Sing for the Moment", "Superman", "Without Me" and "Cleanin' Out My Closet".

Eminem's "The Marshall Mathers LP", which came out in 2000, has also sold over 10 million copies, but it has yet to officially get the Diamond distinction.

This is only the THIRD rap album to be certified Diamond. The other two are: The NOTORIOUS B.I.G.'s "Life After Death" and of all people, MC HAMMER'S "Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em".







GO FOR THE ROMANCE THIS WEEKEND...
Ladies, if you're single and you're hoping to find Mr. Right this weekend, the website The Stir has a list of the best and worst professions to look for in a future husband. Here's their list.

We'll start with the BEST professions to look for in a husband:

#1.) An Engineer. He'll get paid well, and won't have to work as many hours as a doctor or a lawyer. And engineers are usually in pretty high demand.

#2.) A Teacher. He won't make much money, but he'll be good with kids, have decent hours, and get summers off.

#3.) A College Professor. He'll come with basically the same perks as a teacher, but with more money and usually more brains.

#4.) A Firefighter. Apparently the woman who wrote the article has a THING for firefighters. But with that said, a lot of firefighters make very decent money and get to retire early with a good pension.

#5.) A Plumber. According to PayScale.com, plumbers make between twenty and thirty dollars an hour. Plus, they can fix basically anything around the house. And you'll get to see his ass a lot.


Now, here are the WORST professions to look for in a future spouse:

#1.) An Accountant. They work long hours, can't take time off during certain months of the year, and there's a solid chance he'll end up hating his job...or already does.

#2.) A Psychiatrist. They tend to psychoanalyze EVERYONE, including their spouses and their kids. So every single day of your life will feel like therapy.

#3.) A Surgeon. Because of malpractice insurance and student loans, they don't make as much as you think they do. And they're constantly on call.

#4.) A Lawyer. The money is good, but lawyers are constantly working, and they're constantly stressed out...which will eventually make YOU stressed out.

#5.) A Professional Athlete. Again, the money is good...but if you've paid attention to any pro athlete scandal EVER, you know that he'll almost definitely cheat on you.









THE ANSWER IS NOT NO...IT'S YES!
There was a famous sociology study back in 1989. The researchers would approach a random college student of the opposite sex on the street and ask if they wanted to have a no-strings-attached one-night stand RIGHT NOW.

69% to 75% of the guys they approached said YES. As for the women, the number of them who took the guy up on the offer was...ZERO.

That study confirmed what pretty much everyone believed: Men love the idea of random, casual sex...but women aren't interested.

WELL...according to a new study out of the University of Michigan (I know, I know), that might not be true anymore. Researchers there found that sometimes women DO like casual sex just as much as men. But there are two rules women seem to follow.

#1.) They have to feel SAFE. So a random stranger approaching them on the street sets off an alarm...but if they met someone at a friend's party, they might not be as worried.

#2.) The guy has to be ATTRACTIVE. Turns out they're not interested in having one-night stands with rich guys...they want someone who's handsome and good in bed.

Terri Conley is a psychologist who led the study. She says that women are motivated by PLEASURE SEEKING when it comes to sex, just like men. So they're not averse to casual sex.

BUT, they're more worried about safety than men...and they're worried about being left UNSATISFIED. That's why they'll happily have a one-night stand, as long as they feel safe and believe the guy is going to be a PRO in bed.







NEW BSB AND NKOTB MUSIC?
The BACKSTREET BOYS and NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK are touring together...and now, they're taking their newfound man-love for each other to the next level.

They're doing a JOINT greatest hits album called "NKOTBSB". There will also be a few NEW songs, which they will do together...as one single boy band juggernaut.

One of those songs "Don't Turn Out the Lights" will be the first single.

The disc will feature five classic singles by each group. And they're letting FANS decide which tracks make the cut through an online poll at NKOTBSBvote.com. Voting is open from now through Thursday.

You can also pre-order the album through that site. If you do it by March 24th, they'll include your name somewhere in the album's packaging.

You'll also get an exclusive tour poster and photos, which the 11-year-old version of yourself would have considered TOOOOO COOL!)








HERO OF THE DAY: STICKING IT TO THE MAN
Here's our HERO OF THE DAY...a guy who got a little bit of revenge on the credit card companies for the rest of us.


His name is Thierry Cahez. He owns a pastry shop north of San Diego, and he's been battling with the credit card division of Chase bank over some charges and fees on his card...and because they wouldn't let him refinance.

So, he decided to get himself some revenge.

Thierry owed Chase $6,500. So he went to another bank and got it in PENNIES. 650,000 pennies to be exact.

Then he loaded them into his delivery truck and took them to his local Chase.
First they refused to take them because they weren't rolled. So...Thierry had them rolled. All 650,000 of them, in $1 rolls.

Then they told him his deposit was TOO BULKY. That many pennies weigh about 3,582 pounds, or close to TWO TONS. And that's not counting all the crates Thierry was using to transport them.

Finally, Chase caved...money is money, they couldn't refuse the payment...and sent Thierry and his pennies to another branch nearby that WOULD take his payment.









ANOTHER "AMERICAN PIE"...BACK TO THE ORIGINAL CAST THOUGH!
It looks like just about everybody from the original cast is coming back for the next "American Pie" movie. They're calling it "American Reunion", and JASON BIGGS, EUGENE LEVY and SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT have already signed on. (Even though Scott just entered some kind of treatment program.)

And deals are in the works for Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Mena Suvari, Chris Klein and Jennifer Coolidge...a.k.a. Stifler's Mom. (There's no word yet on Alyson Hannigan, Eddie Kaye Thomas or Natasha Lyonne.)








ROCKIN' THEM BEATS...
LUPE FIASCO's new disc "Lasers", featuring the song "The Show Goes On", sold 204,000 copies in its first week. Kicked Avril Lavigne's ass too!

1.) (NEW) "Lasers", Lupe Fiasco (204,000 copies)
2.) "21", Adele (133,000 copies)
3.) (NEW) Vol. 5 of the "Glee" soundtrack (90,000 copies)
4.) (NEW) "Goodbye Lullabye", Avril Lavigne (87,000 copies)







SCORE ONE FOR THE SINNERS...
"Details" magazine just posted an interview with JOE JONAS, in which he says nice things about girlfriend ASHLEY GREENE. But it turns out they were ALREADY BROKEN UP when it came out.

Their reps issued a joint statement yesterday saying, "We can confirm they have parted ways and have no further comment."

It's not clear exactly when they broke up, but they've been seen doing their thing separately for a few weeks now.

And on Tuesday night, Ashley was spotted at a club in New York City with JARED FOLLOWILL from KINGS OF LEON. Sources say they were, quote, "dancing and flirting."
(We heard recently that MILEY CYRUS was trying to mack on Jared. Glad he has more sense than that.)

A source says Jared did not break Ashley and Joe up...quote, "They were apart a lot working. It was never that serious. It was a fun, five-month relationship."

Another source adds, quote, "They just both agreed it was time to focus on themselves."

And in Ashley's case, she probably wanted to focus on herself HAVING SEX FOR A CHANGE!!!








CAUSE IM'MA ALLL NIGHTA...ER, ONE NIGHTA
A new survey tried to figure out exactly how much a woman has to go through before she finds TRUE LOVE. And here's what they found. Not to spoil the fun and excitement of your future. Just try to act surprised when all this happens...

The average woman KISSES 22 guys before she settles down with one for good.
She has an average of SIX one-night stands.
She has four long-term relationships.
She dumps five guys, whether they're in long-term relationships or just dating.
She gets dumped four times.
And she is cheated on FOUR TIMES.

As for how long it takes men to find true love, the survey didn't go as in-depth. They did say that the average guy will kiss 23 women, have 10 one-night stands, and have his heart broken six times before he finds The One.







STOLE YER POLE...
Last week, a 19-year-old woman from Palm City, Florida, whose name wasn't released, broke up with her boyfriend. She was living with him, so she decided to move out.

When she got home from work and started to pack up, she noticed one of her prized possessions was missing...her 15-foot HOME STRIPPER POLE.

The pole cost her $400. She says someone would've had to disassemble it to remove it. The police currently don't have any suspects.

DUH, BLOG

Read this. Because it's the right thing to do.

CHRISTINA GETS ARRESTED...P!NK TWEETS...
Back in the day, there were three up-and-coming pop princesses: CHRISTINA AGUILERA, BRITNEY SPEARS and PINK. Remember which one was supposed to be the bad girl? Yeah, Pink's having a laugh about that now.

She Tweeted and FB'd: "Out of Myself, Britney and Christina - didn't everyone think I was gonna be the troublemaker? LOOK MA!!! NO CUFFS!"







THIS IS TOTAL BS...
I mean, I'm no official expert or anything, and I've certainly had my share of crappy relationships, but this just sounds like total junk...
According to a new study out of the University of Buffalo, the key to a strong, happy relationship is simple.

Just put your partner on a pedestal and WORSHIP them like the god or goddess that they are.

In the study, they found that people who are, "unrealistically idealistic" about their partners report much higher levels of satisfaction in the marriage.

Which runs contrary to what you'd think, because usually, thinking someone's perfect is unrealistic...and eventually leads to utter disappointment.

But the researchers found that's really not the case. When you see your partner in the best possible light, it makes you happier, and makes any problems seem like they're not as big a deal.

Dr. Sandra Murray led the study. She says, "I wouldn't argue that people are deluding themselves. Rather, people are seeing their partners through an optimistic, idealistic lens."










NOW, THIS, THIS IS FANTASTIC...
According to a new survey by Slim-Fast, about one out of 10 single women aged 18 to 34 say that if they lost a dress size...which is about 10 pounds...they'd celebrate by having a ONE-NIGHT STAND.

GOD BLESS THE U.S. OF A.

Here are some more results from the survey...

45% of women say they'd never have another sip of alcohol if it meant they would never gain another pound.

35% would completely give up coffee if it meant they'd never gain a pound. They were least likely to give up chocolate...only 29% would give it up to not gain a pound.

Only 5% of women say they'd give up their BEST FRIEND to never gain another pound. WOW! You shallow bitches!!

And, in a strangely-worded question, 59% of women said they'd have sex every day if it helped them keep their weight down. (So...the survey makers think women don't want sex then? It's a chore or something? That's sad.)

40% of women said having to get into a bathing suit is their biggest inspiration for wanting to lose weight. 33% said a New Year's resolution is their motivator...25% said weddings...and 20% said a high school reunion.







ADELE...
British soul singer ADELE tops the "Billboard" album chart this week. Her second album "21", sold 352,000 copies in its first week of release. Just like her first album, "19", the title is the age she was when she wrote the songs. Listen for her new song "Rolling In The Deep" on Q92...it's good!






SNOOOOOOOOOOP WOULDN'T HIT THAT...
SNOOP DOGG doesn't come off as a coward too often. But one thing he readily admits he'd be too afraid to try is...sex with LADY GAGA.

He says, "She's weird as (eff). Who knows, she might have a snake or a knife in her (P-word) if you try to get some from her."

But Snoop still has mad love for Gaga's talent, "I don't judge Lady Gaga. She makes good (crap), not like a lot of other garbage being repeated."








A SHEEN CONNECTION?
Oakland A's outfielder and former Cleveland Indians player COCO CRISP was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Scottsdale, Arizona Wednesday morning.

Cops pulled him over because he was having a little trouble keeping his $400,000 2009 Rolls Royce Phantom in a single lane. He was given a field sobriety test...which he did not pass. There's no word on his blood-alcohol level.

Coco is in Arizona with the A's for spring training. He was released from jail in time for yesterday's drills. There's no word whether the team plans to punish him.

Not that there's necessarily a connection here, but Coco was one of the Major Leaguers who was taking batting practice with the UCLA team on the day that CHARLIE SHEEN showed up to take a few swings.






THIS WILL SCARE YA!
This will make you want to WASH your hands when you come home from the grocery store, if you don't already!

We all know grocery cart handles are filthy. But according to a new study by the University of Arizona, they're even filthier than you could've imagined.

In their study, they found that 50% of shopping carts had E. COLI on the handle. (!!!) In case you failed math there, that's one out of every two carts.

It gets worse: 72% of the shopping carts they tested, quote, "contained a marker for fecal bacteria." ewwwww!

While some strains of E. coli are basically harmless, other ones can make you legitimately sick. And even if you wash your hands, the E. coli from your cart is still getting awfully close to your food.

Charles Gerba is a professor of soil, water, and environment, and led the study. He says, "There's more [bacteria] than you find in a supermarket's restroom.

"That's because they use disinfecting cleaners in the restrooms. Nobody routinely cleans and disinfects shopping carts."

I worked at Fishers for 18 months. I can't tell you when anyone EVER cleaned the carts! Just something to think about...







THE 'IDOL' "FAREWELL SONG" OF THE SEASON...
Back in 2005, "American Idol" pretty much made DANIEL POWTER a star by playing his ANNOYING song "Bad Day" every time a contestant got kicked off the show.

This season, they're going to give former winner DAVID COOK that boost...by using his new...cover. Yes, a cover. Of the '80s classic "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by SIMPLE MINDS.
That would be the theme of The Breakfast Club movie.

Couldn't even come up with an original there, Mr. Idol winner? Weak.







ANOTHER CASE OF...YOUR EDUCATION DOLLARS AT WORK...
And it's official. Academic types are now spending TOO MUCH TIME studying Facebook.


According to a new study from Cornell University...a prestigous university...Facebook can either be great for your self-esteem, or it can stress you out...and the difference is in one click.

The researchers found that people who checked their OWN Facebook profile had a quick self-esteem boost. They saw positive messages from friends on their wall and photos that brought back good memories...and felt good about themselves.

BUT...as soon as they clicked on someone else's profile, they started feeling more stressed out. They felt overwhelmed by their number of friends and trying to keep up with people, and felt guilty about falling out of touch.

Um...that's what Facebook is FOR, right? Staying in touch? Hey Cornell. Get back to what you're supposed to do in college. Get wasted.







THE LOVE AFFAIR WITH...YOUR FIRST CAR
Do you remember your first car? And when I ask the question, does a picture of it instantly appear in your head...and start you on a wistful, romantic flashback?

According to a new survey commissioned by Castrol, almost EVERYONE has happy memories of their first car.

Half of the people surveyed say they had a, "love affair" with their first car and they'll never forget it. Another 40% say they remember their first car fondly. That means only 10% of people don't have happy first-car memories.

I'd say FIRST car, no...but first car *I* bought, absolutely!!

25% of people say they gave their first car a NAME.

10% of people say that even though their car would be a total heap by modern standards, they'd DEFINITELY buy it back if they had the chance.

62% of people say that their first car was six years old or more when they bought it used or got it passed down from a parent or sibling. The average person kept their first car for three years.

57% of people say they bought their first car themselves. Men were more likely than women to buy their first car.








GOT CHICKEN?
On Tuesday, 27-year-old Joseph Stringer of Kingston, Georgia went to a Wal-Mart and shoved the following things down his pants: Chicken wings, a mouth guard, two toothbrushes, and yes, a full rotisserie chicken.

Wal-Mart security spotted him with his pants packed full, and called the police. He was arrested for misdemeanor shoplifting.







HAVE YOU HEARD LUPE FIASCO'S NEW SONG?
LUPE FIASCO'S new album "Lasers" drops tomorrow, including the song "The Show Goes On", which you've heard on Q92. And it's hard to know what to expect. Lupe has openly admitted that it isn't as strong as it could've been because of all the interference from his label, Atlantic Records.

In his latest comments about all the meddling, Lupe says, "I was specifically told: 'Don't rap too deep on this record.' That was a specific order from the top. 'You're rapping too fast or too slow, or it's too complex.'

"With me, though, I'm not writing about someone else. I'm writing about me. This is my life. It's very personal for me. So for somebody to kind of put their fingers in that and play with that, it becomes more damaging."







GAGA MAKES GOOD...
LADY GAGA made good on the promise she made to 10-year-old Maria Aragon, who became a YouTube sensation after uploading her cover of "Born This Way".

Last month, she told Maria that she'd bring her up onstage to do a duet when she came to Toronto. (Maria lives in Winnipeg. That's over 1,000 miles away from Toronto, but hey it's Canada. Close enough.)

The concert went down last Thursday night, and sure enough Lady Gaga brought Maria up for a "Born This Way" duet.
Check it out, fast forward to 1:30
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXgLQ_khdo0

You would THINK Gaga could have...idk, put some pants on before having a 10 year old girl sit on her lap? I'm just sayin!!







WHAT'S KE$HA DOING?
Well, here's the latest: Beginning tonight, Ke$ha will be throwing condoms into the crowd at her shows. They'll be personalized...with her FACE on each one of them.







See you on Q92, 3-7pm today!

IS THAT SUNSHINE?

I must say, sitting here looking out the window, wanting to be outside! Although I know its cold out there. Sun looks nice though! So anyway, here we go with some shtuff...


SEX COULD KILL YOU!
According to a new study out of Belgium, VIGOROUS SEX causes more heart attacks than COCAINE. To preemptively answer CHARLIE SHEEN'S question, no, we don't know if doing both simultaneously makes those risk factors multiply.

In the study, they ranked the top 10 factors that increase your risk of having a heart attack. The number one factor is traffic exposure...both from the stress and the air pollution you're exposed to. That increases your risk by 7.4%. Here's the full top 10:


#1.) Traffic exposure increases your risk of a heart attack by 7.4%
#2.) Physical exertion, increase of 6.2%
#3.) Alcohol, increase of 5%
#4.) Coffee, increase of 5%
#5.) General air pollution, increase of 4.8%
#6.) Negative emotions, increase of 3.9%
#7.) Anger, increase of 3.1%
#8.) Overeating, increase of 2.7%
#9.) POSITIVE emotions, an increase of 2.4%
#10.) Sexual activity, increase of 2.2%
#11.) Cocaine use, increase of 0.9%
#12.) Smoking marijuana, increase of 0.8%
#13.) Respiratory infections, increase of 0.6%.







BREAK-UP NOTIFIER A BUST...
There was a big setback for stalkers yesterday. The Facebook Breakup Notifier launched earlier this week...it's a free web app that tracked the relationship status of your Facebook friends, and alerted you the second one of them changed anything.

And it was a runaway success: More than 3.5 million people signed up for the thing in a matter of days.

And anything that draws in those kinds of numbers is going to land on Facebook's radar, for better or worse. In this case, it was worse...since Facebook has BANNED the Breakup Notifier.

They emailed Dan Loewenherz, the guy who founded the app, and told him that his app was taxing their system too much.

Not surprisingly, having 3.5 million people constantly checking the relationship status of their friends was bogging down the Facebook servers.

They also suggested they didn't love the content of his app and felt it might not, "provide a positive user experience."

Dan says he's working with Facebook now to get the app running again, "We're willing to comply with whatever they want us to do, within reason."

****BUT, LISTEN TO THIS****
Well...now that it's gone, a NEW relationship status stalking app has swooped in and taken its place. And this one PLAYS DIRTY.

This one is called Waiting Room, and instead of monitoring all of your friends, you only monitor the specific ones who are in relationships...relationships that YOU are hoping are reaching an end. (Check it out at http://waitingroom.caraso.com/)

Then it lets you know when those people switch from "in a relationship" to "single."

But here's where it jacks up the dirtiness. Ya ready? Waiting Room doesn't just sit there, waiting for a relationship to end...it also INTERFERES in people's relationships. (!!!)

When you sign up to monitor someone on Facebook, they get a message saying that someone is waiting for them to become single. And Waiting Room keeps your identity anonymous!

Buuuut 48 hours after they switch to single, the person gets to learn your identity.







QUOTEABLE...
A new survey asked Americans if there was one movie quote that could sum up their life philosophy, what would it be. And the winning quote was from..."Forrest Gump". And no, it's not listing different kinds of shrimp recipes.

26% of Americans said they can best sum up their lives with the quote, "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get."

A quote from "The Wizard of Oz" came in second, with 21%. That quote, of course, is, "There's no place like home."

8% of people went for the quote "Carpe diem," which means "Seize the day," from "Dead Poets Society".

Two different quotes got 7% of the vote..."Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'" from "The Shawshank Redemption", and "Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy night" from "All About Eve".

THE AVERAGE MAN...
It's nice that we really make every moment count. A British website just published their findings from a survey where they attempted to figure out how the average man spends his life.
According to their findings, the average man . . .

Spends 11 years in front of the TV.

Spends 10,585 hours, or 1.2 years, at bars.

Spends one full month searching for matching socks. (This is why I buy generic packs)

Has nine sexual partners.

Only learns how to cook four meals. (Yikes!)

Earns an average of $45,495-a-year over the course of his life.

And says "sorry" 1.9 million times. (That's way too much, especially cause we probably aren't sorry for 3/4 of it. Not sorry, don't say it.)






WHAT'S FOR LUNCH? PB&J AND A LITTLE LINE...
And THIS is why you should do a psychotically thorough background check before you put your kid into a daycare center.

On Friday, police in Pittsburgh (go figure) busted the R&B Childcare Services for running two underground industries out of their daycare center. Industry one: CRACK COCAINE. Industry two: SEX TOYS.

Agents busted into R&B and found $6,000 worth of crack, several bags of adult toys, and $4,000 cash.

The toys and some pornography were sitting in the same room where the children play.

There were between 10 and 15 children enrolled at R&B. The raid happened at 7:00 A.M., before the kids arrived for the day.

50-year-old Reanell Booker ran the daycare. She has no prior arrests...but now she's looking at serious drug charges and probably child endangerment charges as well.







OH MY GOD...
Well, no matter WHAT your mom did to embarrass you in school, I can 100% guarantee it wasn't as bad as what this mom did.

51-year-old Lori Lauer of Sebastian, Florida has a daughter who goes to Sebastian River High School. HIGH SCHOOL. According to a police report that was just released, on Valentine's Day, Lori drove to the school to pick up her daughter.

She got out of her car and wandered around, and ended up about 40 yards away from an outdoor physical education class.

And for some reason, she decided to bend over and MOON the kids. (!!!) LOL!

She bent over, pulled up her one-piece sweater skirt, then pulled down her pantyhose. The kids in the class started screaming and cheering.

A police officer saw the entire thing. He quickly arrested Lori for misdemeanor disorderly conduct, and disruption or interference of a school function.

There's still no word on what motivated Lori to moon the gym class.
