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

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!
