Good morning/afternoon/evening, Happy Saturday/Sunday/Monday...not sure when you may be reading this, but whenever it is, I hope the day is treating you well! Memorial Day weekend, hopefully you spend some time outdoors, with friends and family...and let's not forget the reason we celebrate Memorial Day in the first place. A salute to the men and women serving our country from afar. Cheers to you!
Here's some shtuff!
SEX TAPE-AGE...
All the talk lately has been about the KENDRA WILKINSON sex tape. Well, up-and-coming bisexual female rapper NICKI MINAJ might be the next celebrity with a leaked sex tape. At least that's the rumor going around. There's no word if she's with a man, a woman...or perhaps BOTH.
SCREAM 4 IS COMING...
Are you excited about this? Haven't we been thru this enough already? Yes, they were funny, but I think we might be over-doing it. Anyway, ASHLEY GREENE and HAYDEN PANETTIERE will most likely star in "Scream 4".
Ashley...who plays Alice Cullen in the "Twilight" movies...has been offered the lead role in "Scream 4". She'll play the cousin of NEVE CAMPBELL'S character, Sidney Prescott. Hayden Hottiepants will play her best friend.
Ashley's character is being groomed as the star of the franchise from here on out. RORY CULKIN is in negotiations to play Ashley's love interest...and LAKE BELL will play a cop who knew Sidney in high school.
Neve Campbell, COURTENEY COX and DAVID ARQUETTE are all returning from the original "Scream" trilogy.
"Scream 4" is due out next April.
LADY A TOUR...
LADY ANTEBELLUM will launch their first full-scale headline tour...which they're calling "Need You Now 2010"...in September. DAVID NAIL will be the opener. Dates and details are still being finalized.
We do know they'll be at Blossom for an August 5th show w/ Tim McGraw, plus at the Muskingum County Fair down in Zanesville on August 20th!
WHY *IS* IT ANNOYING?
This is a flat-out funny story, and shows you what those rich kids at Cornell are up to!
There's nothing more annoying than when you're out in public, and some loudmouth is sitting next to you talking on his cell phone. Now, researchers at Cornell University think they know WHY it's so annoying.
They say it's because only hearing half a conversation requires more attention and concentration than when two people are talking, which is draining. And it's also harder to divert our attention away from conversations where we only hear one side.
Put another way, hearing only half a conversation feels like WORK that's been thrust upon you by a random stranger.
People are straining to wonder what the OTHER person might be saying/what the conversation is about/etc...LOL, funny!
A woman named Lauren Emberson co-led the study. She says, "We have less control to move away our attention from half a conversation than when listening to a dialogue.
"Since 'halfalogues' really are more distracting and you can't tune them out, this could explain why people are irritated...When you hear half of a conversation, you get less information and you can't predict as well. It requires more attention."
According to the researchers, overhearing cell phone conversations can make it more difficult to do lots of stuff in our daily lives, including driving.
That means if a passenger in your car is chatting on their cell phone, it actually makes it more difficult for you to concentrate on the road.
XTINA SCRAPS TOUR...
CHRISTINA AGUILERA has scrapped her summer tour.
The dates, which were just announced two weeks ago, stretched from July 15th in Uncasville, Connecticut, through August 19th in Irvine, California.
As usual, there will be a lot of speculation that the tour was canceled because of disappointing ticket sales, but naturally, Christina's people say that's not the case.
Her spokesperson issued a statement saying, "Christina Aguilera's summer tour has been moved to 2011 due to prior commitments that the singer had made to her film, 'Burlesque', and to the promotion of her new album, 'Bionic'.
"[She] felt she needed more time to rehearse the show and with less than a month between the album release and tour date this wasn't possible."
"Bionic" hits stores on June 8th...and "Burlesque" hits theaters in November.)
The makeup dates should be announced later this year.
Christina has echoed that sentiment in an open letter to her fans, which was posted on her website.
She says, "I made the decision to move my summer tour and I am truly sorry to those of you who had purchased tickets and have been disappointed by the news. Immediately after wrapping production on [my upcoming movie] 'Burlesque', I went directly back into the studio and then quickly started the promotional process for [my album] 'Bionic'.
"With both the album press and film press, I am booked the entire summer and need time to focus on the work at hand. After reviewing the schedule with my team, I realized there was not enough time to put together and rehearse for a proper show, one that is at the caliber you expect from me or at the level I would present to my fans.
"In addition, my album has not even been released as yet, and I would like for you all to become familiar with the music before you hear it live on tour. Again, I am sorry to have to move the dates but I promise to come see you when the time is right!"
Lemme tell you, I've seen Christina live, and its a GOOD SHOW!
OH, BTW....
Lee Dewyze won Idol. Cause the women voted with something other than their ears. But that's alright. CRYSTAL will have more creative freedom to do her own thing no! TEAM CRYSTAL!! OHIO BABY!!!
Crystal is also single. She revealed Thursday that she and her boyfriend, Tony, broke up just before the final performance show on Tuesday night. And it was mutual.
She said, "[My boyfriend] Tony, he went home. He wasn't cool with the lifestyle. We're both logical, grown adults. He's a small town guy and it's fine. But I'm a small town girl but I want this. I want this more than anything...this career, this lifestyle. I didn't think he was up for it. He didn't think he was up for it."
WHERE WAS DAVID COOK? ADAM LAMBERT?
I got the question several times wondering why DAVID COOK wasn't among the Idol winners to be on stage at the finale. Well, here's the scoop: David wasn't able to attend because he had already committed to a cancer charity event in his hometown of Kansas City. Daughtry was also in Kansas City, for an unrelated reason. He had a gig there that night.
And Adam says he wasn't asked to perform...however, he was invited to be in the audience. He turned it down though, because he's preparing for his summer tour. That kicks off this week.
BACK IN THE DAY MUSIC NEWS: DR. DRE
DR. DRE has been working on "Detox" for almost a decade now...and he's been announcing release dates for it for six years...so it's hard to know how serious he is when he talks about when it's coming out.
Here's the latest: In a new interview Dre says we can expect "Detox", "Hopefully at the beginning of fall."
Two things: One, notice that he did NOT give an exact release date...and two, notice that he used the word "HOPEFULLY." These things mean that you should NOT get your hopes up. In fact, just disregard this completely.
BACK IN THE DAY MUSIC NEWS: EMINEM
A track list for EMINEM'S new album, "Recovery", has been released...and it sounds like it'll feature a pretty impressive list of guest stars. (The album drops on June 22nd.)
According to RapRadar.com, the list includes LIL WAYNE, RIHANNA and PINK. Here's the link to the track list...

IN PUBLIC?
Most guys like to think of themselves as carefree and adventurous...the kind of guy who's totally cool having sex in public. But the truth is, a lot of us have a tendency to over-think things. And some of us are just flat-out neurotic.
So if you're thinking of getting busy outside over the long Memorial Day weekend, here are four things guys worry about when having sex in public:
#1.) Other people: Yes, the thrill of getting caught is what makes sex in public so exciting. But if you actually do get caught, it's not so much thrilling, as it is horrifying and embarrassing.
And what if it's a kid that sees you? Or a pervert? There's nothing sexy about that.
#2.) Performance anxiety: In private, lots of things can be done to get everyone where they want to be. But when you're doing the nasty in public, the pressure to perform is really on the guy.
He's got to be quick...but not too quick...and he's got to be good. But it's tough to focus on technique when you're constantly looking over your shoulder to make sure no one's watching.
#3.) Poor planning: Obviously, sex in public is a spontaneous act. You do it because the timing's right, and you want someone right then and there. That's what's so hot about it. But it also increases the chances things will go really wrong. Like being caught by the police. So, don't be like Rob :)
Or if you get caught trying to join the Mile High Club. You might finish the flight in plastic cuffs, and get turned over to the cops. And if things go REALLY wrong, you could find yourself on a sex offender registry.
The point is, without a proper plan, you could seriously screw up your life.
#4.) Finishing: When you reach the end of doing the nasty, you're completely vulnerable. And once you're there, there's no way to stop it. That's a problem, especially if it coincides with the exact moment when someone discovers you.
Plus, there are only so many people who should ever have to see the look on your face when you're finishing. Do you really want to subject the rest of the world to your O-face? I didn't think so.

OH OH...ITS THE WEEEEEEEEEKEND! MAY 22 & 23
Well, well...happy weekend to YOU! Looks like BP is sure in some muddy water. Get it....muddy. Do ya get it? Yeah I figured you did. Rain today...bleh. Hey, CEDAR POINT is open! Sunshine all this week!
Here's some shtuff...
DMB WON'T TOUR NEXT SUMMER...
Sarah went into hiding. Kristen is visibly upset. JStew is shedding a tear.
The DAVE MATTHEWS BAND will not tour next year. A message posted on the band's website says: "We wanted to let everyone know that after 20 years of consecutive touring, Dave Matthews Band will be taking 2011 off.
"We feel lucky that our tours are a part of so many people's lives, and wanted to give everyone as much notice as possible. We're excited to make this summer one of our best tours yet, and look forward to returning to the road in 2012."
The Dave Matthews Band is still a HUGE tour draw. According to "Billboard", from 2000 to 2009, the group has sold over 11.2 million tickets to 547 shows. No other band has topped 10 million in ticket sales over that period.)
That translates to nearly $505.5 million in revenue...which doesn't count Dave Matthews' solo shows or the band's festival appearances.
CAN NELLY RETURN TO GREATNESS?
Well that remains to be seen. He really hasn't had a bonafide HIT since 2003 (with some mediocre tunes coming in the years after).
The next NELLY album, which he's named "5.0", will feature collaborations with USHER and JAMIE FOXX...and there's also talk that JANET JACKSON, AKON and DIDDY could be making guest appearances.
There's no word on a release date yet.
SUBWAY MEANS BUSINESS...
Everyone knows Subway has "5.....5 Dollar.....5 Dollar footlonnnnnnnnngs." Well recently, Subway applied for a trademark on the word "footlong" when it's used to describe a sandwich.
And to show they mean business, they've started sending cease-and-desist letters to any restaurants that dare to call their 12-inch sandwiches "footlongs" too.
A guy named Blair Hensley got one of the letters. He owns the Coney Island Drive Inn in Brooksville, Florida.
The Coney Island Drive Inn has been selling 12-inch hot dogs called "footlongs" for more than 40 years, and they don't plan to stop now. Fortunately, they won't have to.
That's because it seems Blair got the letter by accident. According to a Subway spokesman, it's okay to use the word "footlong" to describe a hot dog. They just don't want anyone else using "footlong" to describe a sandwich.
Dumb as it may sound, a corporation actually CAN claim exclusive rights to a common word if it's got a long history of using the word to describe its product, and if it's spent a lot of money building the association.
It's unclear how many other restaurants have gotten letters from Subway threatening legal action unless they stop using the word "footlong."
Now, here's the thing. Rob LOVES Sheetz!! I love Subway too and eat there frequently, but the Sheetz meatball sub is SO much better. I'm pretty sure they advertise them as "$4 Foot Longs"...foot and long being two words! So, is that acceptable? Hmmmm.
DOUBLE DA DAUGHTRY...
CHRIS DAUGHTRY announced yesterday that he and his wife Deanna are expecting twins. She's due in November. There's no word on the sex of the babies.
A statement on Daughtry's website said, quote, "Due to Deanna's partial hysterectomy in 2006, the couple used IVF and had their embryos transferred to a gestational surrogate."
OH THAT'S JUST GAGA BEING GAGA...
It's hard to be shocked by anything that LADY GAGA does these days...but apparently, that's not going to stop her from trying.
At a recent show on her European tour, Gaga paused to EAT A BARBIE.
Well, she didn't actually EAT the Barbie...she just put it in her mouth for a while, rubbed it in her crotch, and then tossed it on the ground.
WEATHER GEEKS: UNITE!
I'm a weather dork, in addition to radio geekazoid, so this naturally excited me!

CONAN HAS A PREMIERE DATE!!!
TBS announced an official premiere date for CONAN O'BRIEN'S return to TV at their upfront presentation yesterday. It's November 8th.
Conan also showed up at the event. He joked around...and didn't reveal any SERIOUS details about his upcoming show, except to insinuate that his sidekick ANDY RICHTER will be joining him again. (He said he couldn't get rid of him.)
Then, regarding the show, he joked, "My vision...is to pick up where 'Hee Haw' left off. My hunch is that 33-year-old males want to hear corny jokes and country music."
And he also said, "[I] really believe in basic-cable television. I don't want to live in a country with less than six ESPN channels."
He also made a few references to NBC. At one point, he asked the crowd if anyone knew, "what the hell happened four months ago," and joked, "The plot to 'Lost' is more plausible than my last year at NBC."
ASS?
31-year-old Ashlee Lineberger lives in Englewood, Florida. Recently, she renewed her driver's license with the state DMV. But when she got her new license in the mail, her street address wasn't listed anymore.
Instead, it simply read "Eat Ass."
Ashlee says, "I only looked at it because I wondered what picture they would use. I thought I was dreaming and I literally pinched myself. I was completely shocked...
"It makes you wonder what these people are doing with all of this vital information if they can play around with a license like that...Imagine if I got pulled over by a cop and had to show this ID? I probably wouldn't be getting out of that ticket. That's priceless."
Anyway, officials with the DMV say they have no clue what happened, and they've already issued Ashlee a new license.

OH EM GEE, A NEW BLOG! May 15 & 16
Yes, my apologies for the last 2 weeks. I could tell you "oh life was SO busy", and in some aspects it is true, but in reality, I just didn't type the thing.
Mary cried.
But rejoice at last, cause this Saturday morning, I am up off of my lazy keester, and here we go....
BOWERSOX FEVER IN OHIO
American Idol hopeful and top 3 finalist CRYSTAL BOWERSOX has put the tiny town of Elliston, Ohio on the map. As anyone who has ever seen IDOL knows, as you get to the top 3, they have a big homecoming celebration in your hometown. Elliston is just a few miles outside of Toledo, and yesterday was HOMECOMING day for Crystal in Toledo!
It was a whirlwind day of TV and radio visits, an appearance at an AT&T store where Crystal got a text from Ellen saying she'll perform a Paul McCartney song on the show this week...a parade downtown, mini concerts...even an event called BOWERSTOCK at the Ottawa County Fairgrounds...good lord!!
You'll see it all on TV this week, Idol airs Tuesday and Wednesday nights of course. My friends at the radio station up there also presented her with a VELVET Ryan Seacrap painting, so perhaps you'll see Crystal give that to him this week!
Q92 fans Jessica and Deb from Holmes County are huge Crystal'ites and made the trip up to see her yesterday!
Some pics...courtesy of Deb and Jessica, WTVG, and WVKS.
SPEAKING OF IDOL....
Before appearing on "American Idol", every contestant must sign a contract that, among other things, forbids them from SLEEPING WITH ONE OF THE JUDGES.
Seriously.
TMZ obtained a copy of the contract, and it has a clause that reads: "Neither I, nor any members of my family or my friends, will enter into any personal, social, business, and / or financial relationships with any of the judges, host[s], (the weird brother can't sleep with Seacrap) [and / or] guest stars."
So for example, if a contestant and a judge wanted to get it on, they'd have to wait until six months AFTER the show ended, according to the contract.
If a contestant DID violate that rule, they'd be booted from the competition. And if it was discovered after the fact, or happened in that six-month window after the show, the contestant would forfeit any prize money they won.
It's unclear if they'd also lose their record deal...but they probably would.
DID YOU MAKE OUT WITH JENNY MAC??
So the newly single JENNY MCCARTHY was spotted a week ago in a Vegas nightclub, swapping spit with someone...The rumor is true: JENNY MCCARTHY *did* make out with a guy while partying in Las Vegas. So who was he? JENNY DOESN'T KNOW.
She explained on Twitter "Yes, I kissed a mystery man in Vegas. Everyone wants to know who he is or what his name is...So would I. Lol."
In other words, you can just be a random guy and make out with Jenny McCarthy!!! Of course, you have to be in the right place at the right time. And you should probably be supremely hot. Or hysterically funny. Or filthy rich.
QUOTEABLE
"Magazines have told me in the past, 'We don't want you on the cover. You're not pretty enough.' And that's okay. I'm unique...and I dig it."
-Pink, in the new issue of COSMO, on sale now.
AVRIL LAVIGNE...SHE'S STILL RELEVANT?!
Yeah, I suppose there are still AVRIL fans among us. Anyone still rockin' a skinny tie?! She and boyfriend BRODY JENNER supposedly got matching F-WORD TATTOOS. RadarOnline.com claims they each got the F-bomb on their ribs.
A source says that when they walked into the tattoo parlor,"They were laughing and said they had not slept in two days. They were completely, utterly out of it. Neither of them seemed to stop and think about what they were doing, it was just one big laugh."
We haven't seen any pictures yet, so we don't have any actual proof that it happened.
NEW XTINA!!!
Another new CHRISTINA AGUILERA song has hit the Internet. This one's called "Woo Hoo"...and it also features rapper NICKI MINAJ. (The "off the top as bestest" female rapper in "Bedrock")
http://perezhilton.com/2010-05-08-new-xtina
Christina's new album, "Bionic", hits stores on June 8th.
MILEY GROWS UP...
MILEY CYRUS is now officially in "adult" mode.
She has unveiled the cover art for her upcoming "Can't Be Tamed" album...and it features her showing off her bare stomach...with her hand gripping her belt.
Take a look, plus a shot from her video...
I still hate Miley...she annoys the crap outta me, BUT "Can't Be Tamed" is a damn good single, and I think she needs this to move into a more adult image. Still think she'll "Britney out" and go off the deep end :)
DON'T PULL *THAT* MUSCLE!
This survey took place in the UK, and we don't really know if the results would be the same here. But we'd be very interested to find out...
According to a new survey, ONE in THREE people have suffered a sex-related injury. And 5% say they were injured so severely that they had to take time off work.
The three most common sex-related injuries are:
#1.) Pulled muscles
#2.) Injured backs
#3.) And carpet burns
2% of people admit they've broken a bone having wild sex. No, not THAT bone. Or maybe. We don't really know. Oof!
ONE in TEN people say they've fallen off the bed while having sex, while ONE in 50 admit they've fallen off the washing machine while doing the nasty.
Overall, the most dangerous place to have sex is on the sofa, followed by on the stairs, the car, in the shower, and in the bedroom.
KATY PERRY? #1 ON THE MAXIM HOT 100? REALLY!?!
I'm not saying Katy isn't hot, because she certainly is. But she's NOT #1! Sorry, Maxim, you got it WRONG this year. Here's their top 10:
#1.) KATY PERRY
#2.) BROOKLYN DECKER (She was the cover girl for this year's "Sports Illustrated" swimsuit issue.)
#3.) ZOE SALDANA
#4.) BLAKE LIVELY
#5.) MEGAN FOX
#6.) RIHANNA
#7.) ELISABETTA CANALIS (George Clooney's Italian girlfriend.)
#8.) OLIVIA MUNN

JT *MAY* BE ON SNL TONIGHT!
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE has made several AWESOME cameo appearances on "Saturday Night Live"...and word has it, he's taped another one, which will air on the season finale this weekend.
Since it was supposedly pre-taped, it could be another "Digital Short"...like "Dick in a Box" and "Motherlover"...but we don't know for sure.
TOURS:
LADY GAGA
She's announced more new dates for her MONSTER BALL tour, however no new Cleveland show. BUT, more could be added later!
CHRISTINA AGUILERA
She's announced 20 dates...again, no Cleveland stop, BUT she will play her hometown of Pittsburgh: August 03 – Pittsburgh, PA – First Niagara Pavilion
More dates could be coming for her as well!
MAROON 5
Also announced some dates to go along with their new album which hits in September...and they aren't coming here either! What the hell is up with all the shows skipping us?!
ADAM LAMBERT
OK, Lambert IS coming, and he's bringing Idol alumnus and Q92 friend ALLISON IRAHETA with him. July 6th at the Allen Theatre at Playhouse Square, and tix went on sale this morning!
SPEAKING OF MAROON 5...
LADY ANTEBELLUM did some guest vocals on the upcoming album from them. They performed on the song "Out Of Goodbyes". It's one of the tracks on Maroon 5's new album "Hands All Over", which drops September 21st.
TAYLOR SWIFT...
...will put finishing touches on her new stuff this summer. What'll it feature songs about? Taylor says "What do you think. Boys and love."
STUPID GENDER STEREOTYPES THAT SCIENCE SAYS ARE TRUE...
And I'll admit, I LOVE the first one because it amazes me how women generally can't get places without a GPS!
Here are four gender stereotypes that actually ARE backed up by science:
#1.) Women can't drive: It's not your fault, ladies. It's just that your brains aren't wired to process north-and-south navigational directions as well as the male brain.
And studies have also found that the female brain has more trouble orienting itself in three-dimensional spaces. Spaces like...you know...the real world.
#2.) Guys are filthy slobs: Physically, there's no difference between the noses of men and women, and they both have the same number of receptors. But women devote a bigger chunk of their brains to processing scents, which gives them a better sense of smell than men.
#3.) Women are wimps: This is the point where every woman who's ever lived chimes in to point out that women experience childbirth, which is way more painful than anything a man could ever endure.
But that's only because when they're pregnant or have just given birth, women are loaded up with endorphins and a cocktail of other natural chemicals to help them handle the pain.
In general, though, women have more pain receptors in their skin, and less of a protein called GIRK2 that affects their pain threshold. In other words, women are bigger wimps...but only because they actually experience more pain than men.
#4.) Women can't hold their liquor: You probably think it's because women tend to be smaller physically than men, but that's NOT the reason they're lightweights...at least not entirely. It has to do with the water-to-fat ratios of their bodies.
See, men are made up of about 61% water, while for women it's just 52%. Which may not seem like a big deal, but it's as if every drink a guy has is 9% more watered down than every drink a woman has.
And the male liver also produces more of the enzyme that breaks down alcohol, which causes guys to get a buzz slower, and to sober up faster.
SEE?! You got edumuhcated today!!

OLD SCHOOL HOTNESS
Former "Wonder Years" actress DANICA MCKELLAR shot some sexy lingerie photos for the June issue of "Maxim" magazine.
In addition to revealing a lot of skin, Danica also reveals that she held onto her most precious womanly gift for quite some time. We don't know what lucky guy she ultimately gave it to...but we do know he wasn't a "Wonder Years" fan.
Danica says, "I've always been really cautious about guys who have a Winnie Cooper fantasy, and I'm so glad about that. I mean, I can count on one hand the guys I've been with. It was really challenging, but I never gave it up too soon, if you know what I mean."
Danica has been married just over a year to a composer named Mike Verta. They're expecting their first child in the fall. Here are a few of those lingerie pics...
FASCINATING STATS ON WOMEN AND THEIR EX'S...
Next month's issue of "Glamour" magazine includes an article about breakups. The idea is to see how your "breakup craziness" compares to the post-breakup insanity of other women. Check it out:
88% of women admit they've Googled an ex to see what he's up to, and 19% say they've gotten "a little obsessed" with an ex.
64% say they've managed to stay friends with an ex. And 46% have even "friended" an ex on Facebook.
35% say they still have an ex-boyfriend's phone number.
54% admit they've had sexual fantasies about an ex.
46% say they've had sex with an ex-boyfriend after breaking up...but it was a bad idea. While another 6% say they did it with an ex, and see no problem with it.
15% admit they've accidentally called a new boyfriend by an ex's name. And 2% say it happened while the new guy was giving them the business.
Overall, 32% of women say they're still IN LOVE with an ex-boyfriend.
KATE HUDSON vs. CAMERON DIAZ...IT'S ON!!!
People, IT'S ON!!! between KATE HUDSON and CAMERON DIAZ. And it's all about A-ROD.
Kate is NOT happy that Cameron is nailing her ex...mainly because she thinks she's doing it for REVENGE.
Supposedly, Kate let JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE lay one down on her back in January of 2007...literally TWO DAYS after Justin and Cameron broke up.
A so-called "source" says, "Kate thinks it's payback, pure and simple."
Whether it's payback or not, Cameron is mad that Kate's mad at her. Another source says, "Cameron was actually in a serious long-term relationship with Justin.
"She thinks it's a joke Kate would be mad. Kate is only upset because she hates being single."
NBC NEXT FALL...
...will be "Law & Order"-less. 20 seasons. Finale, May 24th
MY K-MONEY HAS A NEW VIDEO...
KE$HA has unleashed the video for "Your Love Is My Drug".
Here's Billboard.com's synopsis of it, which I found amusing:
"Ke$ha wakes up in the desert after a surely 'shroom-fueled romp with her man and goes psychedelic on us. She rides an elephant and prowls in the sand with a tiger's head...then steers a canoe to nowhere with [the guy], the couple's style is inspired by Kate Hudson and the Black Crowes' Chris Robinson, no doubt.
"Cartoon crabs, ocotpi and mermaids soon take over the screen, in a clear nod to the Beatles' tripped-out classic, 'Yellow Submarine'.
"[And Ke$ha rocks] tribal, glow-in-the-dark body paint...and she's got a giant snake wrapped around her body for added measure."
You know you wanna watch!

That is all. Mary is happy. And I hope you are too. GORGEOUS weekend, go enjoy it! IYAZ MAY 27TH at The Pub...listen to get in!!!!!
Mary cried.
But rejoice at last, cause this Saturday morning, I am up off of my lazy keester, and here we go....
BOWERSOX FEVER IN OHIO
American Idol hopeful and top 3 finalist CRYSTAL BOWERSOX has put the tiny town of Elliston, Ohio on the map. As anyone who has ever seen IDOL knows, as you get to the top 3, they have a big homecoming celebration in your hometown. Elliston is just a few miles outside of Toledo, and yesterday was HOMECOMING day for Crystal in Toledo!
It was a whirlwind day of TV and radio visits, an appearance at an AT&T store where Crystal got a text from Ellen saying she'll perform a Paul McCartney song on the show this week...a parade downtown, mini concerts...even an event called BOWERSTOCK at the Ottawa County Fairgrounds...good lord!!
You'll see it all on TV this week, Idol airs Tuesday and Wednesday nights of course. My friends at the radio station up there also presented her with a VELVET Ryan Seacrap painting, so perhaps you'll see Crystal give that to him this week!
Q92 fans Jessica and Deb from Holmes County are huge Crystal'ites and made the trip up to see her yesterday!
Some pics...courtesy of Deb and Jessica, WTVG, and WVKS.
SPEAKING OF IDOL....
Before appearing on "American Idol", every contestant must sign a contract that, among other things, forbids them from SLEEPING WITH ONE OF THE JUDGES.
Seriously.
TMZ obtained a copy of the contract, and it has a clause that reads: "Neither I, nor any members of my family or my friends, will enter into any personal, social, business, and / or financial relationships with any of the judges, host[s], (the weird brother can't sleep with Seacrap) [and / or] guest stars."
So for example, if a contestant and a judge wanted to get it on, they'd have to wait until six months AFTER the show ended, according to the contract.
If a contestant DID violate that rule, they'd be booted from the competition. And if it was discovered after the fact, or happened in that six-month window after the show, the contestant would forfeit any prize money they won.
It's unclear if they'd also lose their record deal...but they probably would.
DID YOU MAKE OUT WITH JENNY MAC??
So the newly single JENNY MCCARTHY was spotted a week ago in a Vegas nightclub, swapping spit with someone...The rumor is true: JENNY MCCARTHY *did* make out with a guy while partying in Las Vegas. So who was he? JENNY DOESN'T KNOW.
She explained on Twitter "Yes, I kissed a mystery man in Vegas. Everyone wants to know who he is or what his name is...So would I. Lol."
In other words, you can just be a random guy and make out with Jenny McCarthy!!! Of course, you have to be in the right place at the right time. And you should probably be supremely hot. Or hysterically funny. Or filthy rich.
QUOTEABLE
"Magazines have told me in the past, 'We don't want you on the cover. You're not pretty enough.' And that's okay. I'm unique...and I dig it."
-Pink, in the new issue of COSMO, on sale now.
AVRIL LAVIGNE...SHE'S STILL RELEVANT?!
Yeah, I suppose there are still AVRIL fans among us. Anyone still rockin' a skinny tie?! She and boyfriend BRODY JENNER supposedly got matching F-WORD TATTOOS. RadarOnline.com claims they each got the F-bomb on their ribs.
A source says that when they walked into the tattoo parlor,"They were laughing and said they had not slept in two days. They were completely, utterly out of it. Neither of them seemed to stop and think about what they were doing, it was just one big laugh."
We haven't seen any pictures yet, so we don't have any actual proof that it happened.
NEW XTINA!!!
Another new CHRISTINA AGUILERA song has hit the Internet. This one's called "Woo Hoo"...and it also features rapper NICKI MINAJ. (The "off the top as bestest" female rapper in "Bedrock")
http://perezhilton.com/2010-05-08-new-xtina
Christina's new album, "Bionic", hits stores on June 8th.
MILEY GROWS UP...
MILEY CYRUS is now officially in "adult" mode.
She has unveiled the cover art for her upcoming "Can't Be Tamed" album...and it features her showing off her bare stomach...with her hand gripping her belt.
Take a look, plus a shot from her video...
I still hate Miley...she annoys the crap outta me, BUT "Can't Be Tamed" is a damn good single, and I think she needs this to move into a more adult image. Still think she'll "Britney out" and go off the deep end :)
DON'T PULL *THAT* MUSCLE!
This survey took place in the UK, and we don't really know if the results would be the same here. But we'd be very interested to find out...
According to a new survey, ONE in THREE people have suffered a sex-related injury. And 5% say they were injured so severely that they had to take time off work.
The three most common sex-related injuries are:
#1.) Pulled muscles
#2.) Injured backs
#3.) And carpet burns
2% of people admit they've broken a bone having wild sex. No, not THAT bone. Or maybe. We don't really know. Oof!
ONE in TEN people say they've fallen off the bed while having sex, while ONE in 50 admit they've fallen off the washing machine while doing the nasty.
Overall, the most dangerous place to have sex is on the sofa, followed by on the stairs, the car, in the shower, and in the bedroom.
KATY PERRY? #1 ON THE MAXIM HOT 100? REALLY!?!
I'm not saying Katy isn't hot, because she certainly is. But she's NOT #1! Sorry, Maxim, you got it WRONG this year. Here's their top 10:
#1.) KATY PERRY
#2.) BROOKLYN DECKER (She was the cover girl for this year's "Sports Illustrated" swimsuit issue.)
#3.) ZOE SALDANA
#4.) BLAKE LIVELY
#5.) MEGAN FOX
#6.) RIHANNA
#7.) ELISABETTA CANALIS (George Clooney's Italian girlfriend.)
#8.) OLIVIA MUNN
#9.) KIM KARDASHIAN
#10.) MARISA MILLER

IT'S BETTER WHERE IT'S WETTER: APRIL 24 & 25
How bout a little RAIN on ya!? Supposed to be a yucky next few days...PERFECT for a Back In The Day weekend, so call me up and request somethin' gooood...90's & 2000's!
Here's some shtuff......
VISIT GEORGIA....
The mayor of Milledgeville, Georgia...the town where S**tsburgh Squeelers quarterback BEN ROETHLISBERGER allegedly raped a woman...hopes that the incident will INCREASE TOURISM.
Mayor Richard Bentley told TMZ, "Anything that can draw interest to our town and make people want to visit, we would like."
And while he acknowledged that the circumstances of Milledgeville's newfound fame were unfortunate, he added, quote, "If it peaks people's interest about our city, we would certainly welcome them here."
BACK IN THE DAY MUSIC NEWS: SOUNDGARDEN
SOUNDGARDEN...who announced that they'd be reuniting earlier this year, played their first show together in 13 years on Friday night. It happened in Seattle at a place called Showbox at the Market.
It was a "secret" show...but local fans caught wind of it, and the available tickets sold out within 15 minutes. About 1,000 fans ended up catching the show.
The band was playing under the name "NUDE DRAGONS"...which is an anagram of Soundgarden.)
At one point, singer CHRIS CORNELL told the crowd, quote, "It's a rehearsal, so if we (eff) something up, we're probably going to go through it again."
Soundgarden will be one of the headliners at Lollapalooza this year...but there aren't any further dates yet.
BACK IN THE DAY MUSIC NEWS: JAY-Z
Here's a strange one. The musical guest for SNL the night Betty White hosts? JAY-Z! May 8th is the show, look for him.
BACK IN THE DAY MUSIC NEWS: PINK
PINK and CAREY HART have not created a fetus. There's a rumor going around that Pink is pregnant. But her rep says, "Pink is not expecting."
BACK IN THE DAY MUSIC NEWS: GREEN DAY
You've probably heard about CONSTANCE MCMILLEN. She's the kid who inadvertently caused a major dustup in Mississippi just because she wanted her school to let her take her girlfriend to prom. (The school said NO.)
Well, GREEN DAY has just decided to sponsor a NEW prom for her, which they're calling a, "second-chance" prom. And they're hoping the move will inspire a greater change.
Singer BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG says, quote, "We were talking about it...and I remember [bassist] Mike [Dirnt] said, 'Why don't we just put on the prom?' and I was like, 'That's a great idea. Why not?'"
Mike says, "My high school was a little more open-minded. There were a lot of girls dressed in tuxedoes showing up for the prom. I didn't live in Mississippi, though. Sometimes you've got to force change."
The "second-chance" prom...which will also be co-sponsored by LANCE BASS and sexy, girl-loving "Iron Chef" star CAT CORA...will take place May 8th in Tupelo, Mississippi.
No other details about the prom have been revealed...such as who else will be invited, or if any of sponsors will be making an appearance.
If Billie Joe is thinking about going, it'd be a new experience for him. He says he's never been to a high school prom.
CLEVELAND'S DREW TO STAR IN NEW SHOW...
"Price Is Right" host and hometown guy DREW CAREY will star in an upcoming show for CBS called "WTF!", which...contrary to what you might be thinking...stands for "Wow, That's Funny!"
It's a hidden camera show in which Drew and other comedians spring elaborate pranks on unsuspecting people.
For example, Drew and his team will transform a random truck stop into a five-star restaurant...and film all the hilarity that ensues when the truckers come in expecting quick, cheap food. (There's no word when it might premiere.)
APRIL IS STD AWARENESS MONTH...
In case you didn't know, April is STD Awareness Month. In order to make you more "aware," here are some stats on sexually transmitted diseases, courtesy of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Check it out:
According to the CDC, there are 19 MILLION new STD cases every year. Nearly HALF of them involve young people between the ages of 15 and 24.
In 2008, which is the most recent data available, there were 1.5 MILLION new cases of Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. That makes them the two most commonly reported infectious diseases in the United States.
Even though blacks make up just 12% of the total population, they account for almost HALF of all Chlamydia and Syphilis cases, and more than 70% of all reported Gonorrhea cases.
They also account for nearly HALF of all new HIV infections.
And the CDC estimates that undiagnosed and untreated STDs like Hepatitis B and Human Papillomavirus, or HPV, cause more than 24,000 women every year to become infertile.
SOME SEXY STATS....
This survey took place in Australia, but I have no reason to think the results would be any different here...
According to a new survey, 40% of men and 33% of women say they want SEX every day.
Which is actually too bad, considering ONE in FOUR women has sex just once a week. And ONE in FIVE gets drilled just once a month.
As for "getting in the mood"...66% of women and HALF of all men say that dancing turns them on more than any other activity.
TWO in THREE men and women say they're open to watching porno and engaging in role-play to spice things up.
Meanwhile, 38% of women say they want more foreplay.
And 35% of men want their girl to initiate sex more often.
MORE SEXY STATS....
Next month's issue of "Esquire" magazine includes something called the Survey of American Women. Here's a quick look at some of its findings:
29% of women make more money than their husband or boyfriend.
69% say they would never have plastic surgery, and 79% are happy with the size of their cans.
35% know how to change the oil in their car.
42% have been to a strip club.
89% believe in evolution.
And another 89% think gay marriage should be legal.
29% of women think HILLARY CLINTON is the most admirable woman in America. 19% think it's MICHELLE OBAMA, while just 3% vote SARAH PALIN.
Just 10% of women say they're more likely to vote for a candidate because she's a woman.
71% know that CHARLIE WEIS is the former football coach at Notre Dame, but 10% think he's the starting forward for the Cleveland Cavaliers. (WHAT!? LOL)
71% of women say it's not okay to use your sexuality to get ahead at work.
42% tend to give it up to a man in three or fewer dates.
24% admit they've had an affair, while 49% say they've been cheated on.
14% of women pleasure themselves every day. But just as many say they never do.
30% of women say they love GIVING oral favors, while 5% refuse to do it. And 10% say they don't like RECEIVING oral favors.
And finally, 57% of women say they always have safe sex, while 7% say they never do.
RYAN SEACRAP: OUT TO GET OHIO'S CRYSTAL BOWERSOX!!!
RYAN SEACREST recently revealed that CRYSTAL BOWERSOX almost quit "American Idol" a few weeks ago, but Ryan says he caught her in the nick of time, and had a deep conversation with her to talk her out of it. At least, that's how the story ORIGINALLY went.
BUT, Crystal now says she DID have a talk with Ryan...but she was never seriously considering leaving the show. And she also insinuates that she isn't thrilled that the conversation became public.
She tells E! Online (who in their initial story called Ryan "the knight in shining armour"...give me a F**KING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!) "I never intended on quitting. None of that [was true]. We had a conversation, but it definitely didn't go down the way that it has been portrayed as. We had a simple, civil conversation. Ryan gave me great advice. And I highly respect him."
For what it's worth, KATELYN EPPERLY, one of this year's Top 24 finalists said Crystal sent her a text saying, "I'm fine. Betrayed by Seacrest!"
OH SNAP!!!! DOWN WITH RYAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LADY ANTEBELLUM'S HILLARY SCOTT TALKS LIFE ON THE ROAD...
HILLARY SCOTT literally has to LIVE with two guys...bandmates CHARLES KELLEY ("Amazing" JOSH KELLEY's brother) and DAVE HAYWOOD...every time LADY ANTEBELLUM'S tour bus hits the road.
But that's okay with her, because there's less drama bunking with guys than with chicks. She tells "Us Weekly", "It's definitely way less drama than a band full of girls. And (the guys) take care of me. But you just have to pick your battles."
Speaking of the road, it sounds like Hillary's not doing a lot of hooking-up in the back of the bus...or wherever.
She says, "It gets lonely out here, but you can't really focus on that, because you'll drive yourself crazy. And a really fun job can turn into a really lonely one if you dwell on it."
Here's some shtuff......
VISIT GEORGIA....
The mayor of Milledgeville, Georgia...the town where S**tsburgh Squeelers quarterback BEN ROETHLISBERGER allegedly raped a woman...hopes that the incident will INCREASE TOURISM.
Mayor Richard Bentley told TMZ, "Anything that can draw interest to our town and make people want to visit, we would like."

At one point, singer CHRIS CORNELL told the crowd, quote, "It's a rehearsal, so if we (eff) something up, we're probably going to go through it again."
Soundgarden will be one of the headliners at Lollapalooza this year...but there aren't any further dates yet.
BACK IN THE DAY MUSIC NEWS: JAY-Z
Here's a strange one. The musical guest for SNL the night Betty White hosts? JAY-Z! May 8th is the show, look for him.
BACK IN THE DAY MUSIC NEWS: PINK
PINK and CAREY HART have not created a fetus. There's a rumor going around that Pink is pregnant. But her rep says, "Pink is not expecting."
BACK IN THE DAY MUSIC NEWS: GREEN DAY
You've probably heard about CONSTANCE MCMILLEN. She's the kid who inadvertently caused a major dustup in Mississippi just because she wanted her school to let her take her girlfriend to prom. (The school said NO.)
Well, GREEN DAY has just decided to sponsor a NEW prom for her, which they're calling a, "second-chance" prom. And they're hoping the move will inspire a greater change.
Singer BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG says, quote, "We were talking about it...and I remember [bassist] Mike [Dirnt] said, 'Why don't we just put on the prom?' and I was like, 'That's a great idea. Why not?'"
Mike says, "My high school was a little more open-minded. There were a lot of girls dressed in tuxedoes showing up for the prom. I didn't live in Mississippi, though. Sometimes you've got to force change."
The "second-chance" prom...which will also be co-sponsored by LANCE BASS and sexy, girl-loving "Iron Chef" star CAT CORA...will take place May 8th in Tupelo, Mississippi.
No other details about the prom have been revealed...such as who else will be invited, or if any of sponsors will be making an appearance.
If Billie Joe is thinking about going, it'd be a new experience for him. He says he's never been to a high school prom.
CLEVELAND'S DREW TO STAR IN NEW SHOW...
"Price Is Right" host and hometown guy DREW CAREY will star in an upcoming show for CBS called "WTF!", which...contrary to what you might be thinking...stands for "Wow, That's Funny!"
It's a hidden camera show in which Drew and other comedians spring elaborate pranks on unsuspecting people.
For example, Drew and his team will transform a random truck stop into a five-star restaurant...and film all the hilarity that ensues when the truckers come in expecting quick, cheap food. (There's no word when it might premiere.)
APRIL IS STD AWARENESS MONTH...
In case you didn't know, April is STD Awareness Month. In order to make you more "aware," here are some stats on sexually transmitted diseases, courtesy of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Check it out:
According to the CDC, there are 19 MILLION new STD cases every year. Nearly HALF of them involve young people between the ages of 15 and 24.
In 2008, which is the most recent data available, there were 1.5 MILLION new cases of Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. That makes them the two most commonly reported infectious diseases in the United States.
Even though blacks make up just 12% of the total population, they account for almost HALF of all Chlamydia and Syphilis cases, and more than 70% of all reported Gonorrhea cases.
They also account for nearly HALF of all new HIV infections.
And the CDC estimates that undiagnosed and untreated STDs like Hepatitis B and Human Papillomavirus, or HPV, cause more than 24,000 women every year to become infertile.
SOME SEXY STATS....
This survey took place in Australia, but I have no reason to think the results would be any different here...
According to a new survey, 40% of men and 33% of women say they want SEX every day.
Which is actually too bad, considering ONE in FOUR women has sex just once a week. And ONE in FIVE gets drilled just once a month.
As for "getting in the mood"...66% of women and HALF of all men say that dancing turns them on more than any other activity.
TWO in THREE men and women say they're open to watching porno and engaging in role-play to spice things up.
Meanwhile, 38% of women say they want more foreplay.
And 35% of men want their girl to initiate sex more often.
MORE SEXY STATS....
Next month's issue of "Esquire" magazine includes something called the Survey of American Women. Here's a quick look at some of its findings:
29% of women make more money than their husband or boyfriend.
69% say they would never have plastic surgery, and 79% are happy with the size of their cans.
35% know how to change the oil in their car.
42% have been to a strip club.
89% believe in evolution.
And another 89% think gay marriage should be legal.
29% of women think HILLARY CLINTON is the most admirable woman in America. 19% think it's MICHELLE OBAMA, while just 3% vote SARAH PALIN.
Just 10% of women say they're more likely to vote for a candidate because she's a woman.
71% know that CHARLIE WEIS is the former football coach at Notre Dame, but 10% think he's the starting forward for the Cleveland Cavaliers. (WHAT!? LOL)
71% of women say it's not okay to use your sexuality to get ahead at work.
42% tend to give it up to a man in three or fewer dates.
24% admit they've had an affair, while 49% say they've been cheated on.
14% of women pleasure themselves every day. But just as many say they never do.
30% of women say they love GIVING oral favors, while 5% refuse to do it. And 10% say they don't like RECEIVING oral favors.
And finally, 57% of women say they always have safe sex, while 7% say they never do.
RYAN SEACRAP: OUT TO GET OHIO'S CRYSTAL BOWERSOX!!!
RYAN SEACREST recently revealed that CRYSTAL BOWERSOX almost quit "American Idol" a few weeks ago, but Ryan says he caught her in the nick of time, and had a deep conversation with her to talk her out of it. At least, that's how the story ORIGINALLY went.
BUT, Crystal now says she DID have a talk with Ryan...but she was never seriously considering leaving the show. And she also insinuates that she isn't thrilled that the conversation became public.
She tells E! Online (who in their initial story called Ryan "the knight in shining armour"...give me a F**KING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!) "I never intended on quitting. None of that [was true]. We had a conversation, but it definitely didn't go down the way that it has been portrayed as. We had a simple, civil conversation. Ryan gave me great advice. And I highly respect him."
For what it's worth, KATELYN EPPERLY, one of this year's Top 24 finalists said Crystal sent her a text saying, "I'm fine. Betrayed by Seacrest!"
OH SNAP!!!! DOWN WITH RYAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LADY ANTEBELLUM'S HILLARY SCOTT TALKS LIFE ON THE ROAD...
HILLARY SCOTT literally has to LIVE with two guys...bandmates CHARLES KELLEY ("Amazing" JOSH KELLEY's brother) and DAVE HAYWOOD...every time LADY ANTEBELLUM'S tour bus hits the road.
But that's okay with her, because there's less drama bunking with guys than with chicks. She tells "Us Weekly", "It's definitely way less drama than a band full of girls. And (the guys) take care of me. But you just have to pick your battles."
Speaking of the road, it sounds like Hillary's not doing a lot of hooking-up in the back of the bus...or wherever.
She says, "It gets lonely out here, but you can't really focus on that, because you'll drive yourself crazy. And a really fun job can turn into a really lonely one if you dwell on it."

WHO STOLE MY WARMTH? APRIL 17 & 18
Thursday? 80's. Last night? Upper 30's. Ahhhh, it's April in Northeast Ohio.
So I went to the TRIBE home opener on Monday afternoon at The Jake/Progressive Field. My first time ever for a home opener. And after the game, in which we lost to the Rangers, it sure appeared we were going to be in for a long season. Highlights of the game? Sandy Alomar introduced as a new 1st base coach. Of course he was our all-star catcher during the exciting, winning seasons in the mid 90's. The other? Mike Holmgren shown on the scoreboard, and the mini dawg pound came out to show our Browns enthusiam. Yep, there is no doubt Cleveland is a football town.
But here we are, Saturday morning, and the Tribe has 2 wins in a row, and both games, the starting pitcher went a complete game. With how AWFUL the bullpen has performed, this is a VERY GOOD thing!!!
But, enough about baseball, let's get into golf, shall we?
A TIGER TALE...
Now of course, Tiger didn't win the Masters. And I'm not really concerned with the golf aspect of it anyway. Did you hear someone was flying banners over the course last weekend with slams on Mr. Woods? Apparently there was one more that never flew. Honest. It read: "Tiger -- Still on for the foursome? -- Jesse James".
ALL THE CONAN NEWS YOU COULD WANT!!!
In news that's being described with words like "surprising," "shocking" and similar open-mouthed adjectives, CONAN O'BRIEN has announced plans to resume his late-night comedy career on TBS!!!
Monday, Conan posted a Twitter message...saying, "The good news: I will be doing a show on TBS starting in November! The bad news: I'll be playing Rudy on the all new 'Cosby Show'."
He later added, "In three months I've gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I'm headed to basic cable. My plan is working perfectly."
His new show...which is still untitled...will run from 11:00 P.M. to midnight, Monday through Thursday. It will take the place of GEORGE LOPEZ'S talk show, "Lopez Tonight", which will be bumped to midnight. TBS will continue to air movies on Friday nights.
Obviously, this situation brings up a lot of parallels to the NBC Late-Night Mess...when Conan refused to bump "The Tonight Show" back to midnight to make room for JAY LENO'S return to late-night.
But Conan isn't Leno-ing George.
Conan's manager, Gavin Polone, said, quote, "That sounded very similar to [what happened at NBC]. Conan said, 'We're not putting ourselves in the position of shoving somebody out of his show.'"
TBS boss Steve Koonin made his initial pitch to Conan less than two weeks ago...but only after getting George's blessing first.
Then, George called Conan personally to invite him on board. Polone said, quote, "It really was George who made this happen." At that point, negotiations reportedly progressed very quickly.
To make sure there's no doubt about how he feels, George released the following statement yesterday, "I can't think of anything better than doing my show with Conan as my lead-in. It's the beginning of a new era in late-night comedy."
There's no specific debut date yet, aside from it happening sometime in November.
CONAN O'BRIEN'S deal with TBS was particularly surprising because it seemed inevitable that he'd end up at Fox.
There isn't any official word on why that didn't work out...but here's the UNOFFICIAL word, from various sources.
The consensus seems to be that there was just too much red tape in the Fox negotiations...involving their local affiliates, who were making good money airing syndicated sitcoms at 11:00 P.M.
Some affiliates were stalling talks because they were unsure if they wanted to take the risk, while others had existing contracts with syndication, which would prevent them from airing Conan's show...at least at 11:00 P.M....for several years.
Those affiliates could've faced lawsuits if they breached those deals. MTV News reports that only 60% of Fox's channels would be able to air a Conan show this fall. And that couldn't have been too appealing to Conan's people.
TBS could be his best landing spot. On TBS, GEORGE LOPEZ is drawing a diverse audience with a median age of 33, which is MUCH younger than the other late-night shows.
THE "LOST" FINALE NIGHT...
The two-hour SERIES finale of "Lost" ...which will air from 9:00 to 11:00 P.M. on May 23rd...will be preceded by a two-hour "Lost" special from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M.
And afterwards, JIMMY KIMMEL will host a comedy special called "Lost: After the Final Rose". So, ABC will have at least five hours of "Lost"-related programming on that night.
HEALTH CARE RANDOM...
Obviously I won't begin to debate politics with you, but here's one of the hidden little items in the recently passed healthcare bill:
On page 1,239, it requires all companies with more than 50 workers to provide a place, quote, "other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view...which may be used by an employee to express BREAST MILK."
That's right...the new health care bill forces employers to provide a private room where new mothers can squeeze milk out of their cans.
THE RAZZIES...
...that's the awards show that happens around the same time as the Oscars and hands out the WORST awards, will be TELEVISED for the first time next year! Feb 26 it goes down. No word on the channel.
JERSEY SHORE SPIN-OFF HITS MASS.
MTV is developing a "Jersey Shore" spin-off called "Wicked Summer", which will take place in Boston. As far as we know, it won't feature any "Jersey Shore" cast members.
A casting director for the show says, "We're giving Massachusetts the chance to show the world why Bay Staters have got the hottest girls and proudly buff guys who believe in God, family, politics, sports, beer and partying!"
Production on the first season will begin in July. No premiere date has been set.
KARA DIOGUARDI AND COLBIE CAILLAT TAKE IT ALL OFF...
...and I know what you're probably thinking. I probably mean something BESIDES taking off their clothes. But I DON'T! Kara and Colbie both posed NUDE for the May issue of Allure magazine! Check out the pics....
Kara
Colbie
Yum! Guys, you're welcome (and ladies too!)
RANDOM KNOWLEDGE...
Ever feel like you spend FAR too much eating out? Or on fast food in particular? This won't make you feel better...The markup on fries is around 500%. The markup on soft drinks is about 1,200%.
So I went to the TRIBE home opener on Monday afternoon at The Jake/Progressive Field. My first time ever for a home opener. And after the game, in which we lost to the Rangers, it sure appeared we were going to be in for a long season. Highlights of the game? Sandy Alomar introduced as a new 1st base coach.

WEEKENDER: APRIL 10 & 11
GREETINGS! How was your week? Fantastic I hope! Mine was a little less than stellar...spent a few days side-lined with sickness...feeling 110% better now, but still sounding kinda stuffed up...gotta love it!
We had ANOTHER Q92 NEXT BIG THING show on Thursday, inside due to rain and cold, at The Pub w/ DAN BLACK. Next one, April 29th...TRAVIE MCCOY and WE THE KINGS!!!! Listen all this weekend to win tickets, which is the ONLY way you can get in!
Here's some shtuff.......
THE RETURN OF AMERICAN PIE!!!!
The "American Pie" franchise is getting a complete reboot...11 years after it debuted.
THIS WILL RUIN YOUR WEEKEND....
According to a new study from the University of Iowa, ONE in FIVE people are fortunate enough to have had a "friends with benefits" relationship at some point. Which is pretty much the goal of nearly every single man.
But the downside is that "friends with benefits" are more likely to catch an STD.
The logic is that "friends with benefits" are less likely to be monogamous...so they're more likely to contract and spread STDs.
Put another way, women who have a "friend with benefits" are 44% more likely NOT to be monogamous, and men who have a "friend with benefits" are 25% more likely NOT to be monogamous. (Hear that? Women are bigger hoochies)
As for couples, 17% of men and 5% of women admit they've cheated on their partner. And 8% of men and 17% of women say they've been faithful, but their partner cheated on them.
Overall, ONE in TEN couples say neither of them has been monogamous in their relationship.
And in other sexual-related randomness, the study also found that couples are less likely to cheat if they get along with each other's parents.
BE CAREFUL IF HEADING TO VEGAS...
That probably goes without saying. But every year, a group called the CQ Press releases something called the Crime Rankings Index. Basically, they look at reported crime rates in six categories: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, and motor vehicle theft. Then they rank them by state.
The five states with the most crime are:
#1.) Nevada. This is their seventh straight year at the top of the list.
#2.) New Mexico
#3.) Louisiana
#4.) South Carolina
#5.) Tennessee
And the five states with the least crime are:
#1.) New Hampshire
#2.) Vermont
#3.) North Dakota
#4.) Maine
#5.) Idaho
...which of course is because....THEY ARE SMALL...and THERE ARE NO PEOPLE in them!!
Overall, the worst state for ASSAULT is...South Carolina.
The worst state for RAPE is...Alaska.
And the worst state for MURDER is...Louisiana.
MARIAH WENT SURFING...
...with her dogs! Cute little guys, aren't they? And Mariah of course, she's a hottie.
MAXIM SEX SURVEY...
Now it's time to review some highlights of the 2010 "Maxim" magazine sex survey:
-47% of women admit to "sexting," and 70% admit they've hacked into their man's email account to make sure he wasn't cheating.
-70% of women say they've slept with ten or fewer guys.
-17% of women have had sex with a guy whose name they didn't know. And 26% slept with a guy they knew for less than five hours.
-ONE in FOUR women say they love...not just like, LOVE...giving oral favors.
-11% of women have slept with their boss at some point, and 6% have slept with a subordinate at work.
-17% have done it with a guy they knew was married.
-If they had the chance, and it was guaranteed their guy would never find out, 38% of women say they'd have sex with their, quote, "fantasy crush."
-ONE in THREE women have no problem going all the way on a first date with a guy they really like.
-31% of women have had sex with TWO or more men in one day. And 1.5% have done the nasty with more than THREE guys in a day. When you up the timeframe to a week, 17% have done it with three or more guys.
-ONE in THREE women say they never have, and never will, try backdoor relations.
-More than TWO-THIRDS of women have never had a threesome. As for the rest of them...17% did it with two girls and one guy, 11% did it with two guys and one girl, and 3% did it with THREE GIRLS. (!!!)
-ONE in THREE women think the "average guy" should have sex with six to ten women before settling down. 2% think he should be a virgin when he gets married. 1% thinks he should have sex with 40 or more women before getting married.
-Overall, 7% of women say a guy's muscle tone and fitness isn't important to them at all.
ONLY 7%!!!
BIEBER FEVER...
I love this BIEBER billboard, RIGHT ABOVE a strip club out in LA...
WHAT WEEZY IS UP TO IN JAIL...
LIL WAYNE'S ex-wife, ANTONIA "TOYA" CARTER, says that Wayne has an interesting job at Rikers Island prison.
She says, "They got him on suicide watch for other prisoners. He watches the crazy prisoners and makes sure they don't kill themselves. He likes the job even though they don't pay him much."
Toya added that Wayne is, quote, "doing OK...[and] getting along with everybody."
DRUNK PIX!
Have you seen this site? Think TFLN, but of the pic variety! http://mydrunkpix.com/
SPEAKING OF DRUNKNESS...
Now it's time to recognize our Idiot Criminal of the Day...19-year-old Tasha Cantrell of Fort Walton Beach, Florida (in the state's panhandle, about 40 miles east of Pensacola).
Early Monday morning, Tasha was riding in a car when her unidentified friend was pulled over and arrested for driving under the influence.
A tow truck was called to impound the car, leaving Tasha without a ride home. So she asked one of the cops to give her a lift, which they did.
But while she was riding in the back of the cop car, Tasha pulled out a can of Steel Reserve malt liquor and cracked it open.
According to the police report, "When I opened the rear passenger door, I observed Cantrell attempting to hide the can between her legs. I retrieved this can and noticed it was Steel Reserve Beer."
At which point the cop drove Tasha to the police station, and arrested her for underage drinking.
She looks QUITE proud in her mugshot! Moron!
RIHANNA FINALLY ADMITS IT...
RIHANNA is finally admitting what everyone already figured out months ago: She and L.A. Dodger MATT KEMP are dating.
Yesterday morning on a California radio show, she said, "He's my boyfriend."
She did NOT, however, confirm recent rumors that they're engaged. But it doesn't sound like they are. She added, "It's new and it's fun. It's nothing too serious.
"I don't want anything that's going to take up so much of my energy and time right now in a bad way. I just want to have fun, and that's what it's about."
Rihanna does have a wedding coming up...that of KATY PERRY and British comedian RUSSELL BRAND. Rihanna is planning the bachelorette party.
She said, "[Katy] put that on me last week. Now I have to come up with something cool, 'cuz she's getting married in India. So I'm like, 'Okay now what do I do to match that for a bachelorette party?'"
AVRIL LAVIGNE...
I have no idea why it's 2010 and we're following AVRIL LAVIGNE, but that we are...
E! Online says that Avril, BRODY JENNER and Avril's ex-husband, DERYCK WHIBLEY, were all out on the town together in Hollywood on Wednesday night.
Everybody seemed to be friends...although Deryck did leave by himself...while Avril and Brody left together. And then....
SCANDALOUS!!!!

WHAT WEEZY IS UP TO IN JAIL...
LIL WAYNE'S ex-wife, ANTONIA "TOYA" CARTER, says that Wayne has an interesting job at Rikers Island prison.
She says, "They got him on suicide watch for other prisoners. He watches the crazy prisoners and makes sure they don't kill themselves. He likes the job even though they don't pay him much."
Toya added that Wayne is, quote, "doing OK...[and] getting along with everybody."

SPEAKING OF DRUNKNESS...
Now it's time to recognize our Idiot Criminal of the Day...19-year-old Tasha Cantrell of Fort Walton Beach, Florida (in the state's panhandle, about 40 miles east of Pensacola).
Early Monday morning, Tasha was riding in a car when her unidentified friend was pulled over and arrested for driving under the influence.
A tow truck was called to impound the car, leaving Tasha without a ride home. So she asked one of the cops to give her a lift, which they did.
But while she was riding in the back of the cop car, Tasha pulled out a can of Steel Reserve malt liquor and cracked it open.
According to the police report, "When I opened the rear passenger door, I observed Cantrell attempting to hide the can between her legs. I retrieved this can and noticed it was Steel Reserve Beer."
At which point the cop drove Tasha to the police station, and arrested her for underage drinking.
She looks QUITE proud in her mugshot! Moron!
RIHANNA FINALLY ADMITS IT...
RIHANNA is finally admitting what everyone already figured out months ago: She and L.A. Dodger MATT KEMP are dating.
Yesterday morning on a California radio show, she said, "He's my boyfriend."
She did NOT, however, confirm recent rumors that they're engaged. But it doesn't sound like they are. She added, "It's new and it's fun. It's nothing too serious.
"I don't want anything that's going to take up so much of my energy and time right now in a bad way. I just want to have fun, and that's what it's about."
Rihanna does have a wedding coming up...that of KATY PERRY and British comedian RUSSELL BRAND. Rihanna is planning the bachelorette party.
She said, "[Katy] put that on me last week. Now I have to come up with something cool, 'cuz she's getting married in India. So I'm like, 'Okay now what do I do to match that for a bachelorette party?'"
AVRIL LAVIGNE...
I have no idea why it's 2010 and we're following AVRIL LAVIGNE, but that we are...
E! Online says that Avril, BRODY JENNER and Avril's ex-husband, DERYCK WHIBLEY, were all out on the town together in Hollywood on Wednesday night.
Everybody seemed to be friends...although Deryck did leave by himself...while Avril and Brody left together. And then....
SCANDALOUS!!!!

SPRING IS HERE!! WEEKEND OF APRIL 3 & 4
Well HELLO 80+ degrees!!! Now if you're blinded by something abnormally bright lately, don't be alarmed. It's just your fellow Ohioans wearing SHORTS for the first time in MONTHS!
Spent the day in Cleveland on Thursday, enjoying the wonderful weather and a great concert as well. DAUGHTRY and LIFEHOUSE sold out the CSU Wolstein Center! A great show, and very cool to have Jason Wade join Daughtry for "Home" in their encore. We sent a ton of listeners to a private Lifehouse acoustic performance and meet & greet that afternoon, as well as our VIP Daughtry winner who got to meet Chris, go to the soundcheck, AND sit in the front row!!
I was lucky enough to get into the Lifehouse session, check out some pics on our facebook page:

DEMI LOVATO...
Since we're playing her song with WE THE KINGS, "We'll Be A Dream"...
DEMI LOVATO is still gushing about her relationship with JOE JONAS. She says, "It's amazing! It's a great feeling! When you're in love, you want the world to know! They call us 'Jemi', which I think is pretty funny."
Demi says she doesn't even mind being stopped on the street and asked about it..."It's really weird, because random strangers will be like, 'How's Joe?' And I'm just like, 'What?' But it's fun. It's really special, and we're having a good time."
Meanwhile, Demi has been busy this week shooting a guest spot on "Grey's Anatomy". She'll play a patient who's being treated for possible schizophrenia. The episode will air sometime in May.
KATY'S "SUMMER RECORD"
KATY PERRY has a new album coming out this summer...and she told MTV News, "It's a summer record. It's what I said I wanted earlier. We nailed it: It's roller-skating! It's '90s! It's Ace of Base! It's Cyndi Lauper! It's like all these colors and more.
"It's going to be fun. It's going to be one of those records that is everybody's favorite guilty pleasure." No specific release date has been announced yet.
WHAT YOUR STUFFED-ANIMAL COLLECTION SAYS ABOUT YOU...
I was under the impression that if a grown woman has a collection of STUFFED ANIMALS, it means she's a little nuts. But apparently I was wrong.
At least that's according to a website called YourTango.com, which ran an article recently explaining exactly what you can tell about a woman's personality from her stuffed animals. Check it out:
#1.) Classic teddy bear: She's old-fashioned, down-to-earth and refined. She probably enjoys the outdoors, and will get along with your mother.
#2.) Raggedy, old stuffed animals: Chances are she's had the same stuffed animal since she was a baby, which means she's sentimental and tenderhearted.
#3.) Gigantic carnival toys: An ex-boyfriend probably won them for her. The fact that she still has them lying around...even though the relationship ended years ago...means she may be high-maintenance or demanding.
#4.) Unicorns and ponies: She's a girly-girl, and she's probably got a few Hello Kitty dolls stashed away somewhere.
#5.) Porcelain dolls: They're much more expensive than stuffed animals, so it might mean she comes from money. But it also might mean she's going to kill you in your sleep because...let's face it...porcelain dolls are creepy.
#6.) No stuffed animals at all: She's a practical, no-frills kind of woman. Treat her right and hang on for dear life, because these girls are extremely rare. Figures.
NEW FACEBOOK "LIKE" FEATURE...
Next month, Facebook will unveil a new feature allowing website publishers to add a "Like" button to material on their website.
The idea is to allow Facebook users to "Like" any piece of content...whether it's a video, a news story, or a photo...directly at the source.
For example, let's say you've just watched an amazing video on YouTube of...whatever. If YouTube's operators choose to take part, you can "Like" the video right there, and it will show up on your Facebook profile page.
According to a tech expert with a website called BusinessInsider.com, quote, "Facebook would essentially be stamping its brand on the entire Web. It would also be in a better position to take on Google with an ad network of its own."
STATS ON YOUR SHOE-SHOPPING ADDICTION...
It's no secret that women love shoes. But I'm starting to think that maybe...just maybe...a large portion of American women have veered into the realm of UNHEALTHY SHOE OBSESSION.
According to a recent study, 63% of men own FEWER than 11 pairs of shoes.
Meanwhile, FOUR in FIVE women own MORE than 11 pairs of shoes, and TWO in FIVE (or 40%) own more than 50 pairs.
That's compared to just 4% of men who own more than 50 pairs of shoes.
Overall, the average American woman owns 27 pairs of shoes.
BEST BOTTOMS!!!
EUREKA! Now we're talkin'! American Apparel held a search for the BEST BOTTOM!
