Snow has finally stopped, sun is OUT!
Talk to you today 3-7pm on Q92.
Here's some good stuff...
EMINEM BACK TO THE BIG SCREEN...
Eminem is returning to the big screen staring in, “Southpaw.” In this movie, Eminem will play a up and coming boxer who becomes a champ, only to be hit by a personal tragedy in Southpaw, a film loosely based on the star’s own tragic background.
Kurt Sutter is the writer of the movie. He is known for being the creator of FX‘s hit series Sons Of Anarchy. He had this to say about Em...
“I took meetings with Marshall’s producing partners over the past 7 years, looking for something to do together. I know he’s very selective and doesn’t do a lot. But he shared so much of his personal struggle in this raw and very honest album, one that I connected with on a lot of levels. He is very interested in the boxing genre, and it seemed like an apt metaphor, because his own life has been a brawl.”
“At its core, this is a retelling of his struggles over the last five years of his life, using the boxing analogy. I love that the title refers to Marshall being a lefty, which is to boxing what a white rapper is to Hip-Hop; dangerous, unwanted and completely unorthodox. It’s a much harder road for a southpaw than a right handed boxer.”
YOU ALREADY KNOW...
Because I told you first on the air yesterday afternoon and on my facebook page, but....
"People" magazine's Sexiest Man Alive and "GQ's" Babe of the Year just couldn't make it work.
RYAN REYNOLDS and SCARLETT JOHANSSON are getting divorced after two years of marriage.
They issued a statement saying, "After long and careful consideration on both our parts, we've decided to end our marriage.
"We entered our relationship with love and it's with love and kindness we leave it. While privacy isn't expected, it's certainly appreciated."
A so-called "source" says that they secretly split up about six months ago.
Although it was just this past April that Scarlett told "In Style" magazine how much she enjoyed domestic life with Ryan, quote, "There's a nice comfort in that. That part of your life is certain, in a way. You've got your home in that other person."
And not long after that, Ryan told "People" that the best thing about being married is that, quote, "You get to hang out with your best buddy every day."
FAST FIVE...
Fast Five"...the fifth installment in the "Fast and the Furious" franchise...reunites most of the important cast members from the previous flicks...and adds DWAYNE "THE ROCK" JOHNSON for good measure. It comes out April 29th.

TAYLOR SWIFT was in New York City recently filming a mini-concert at the Ed Sullivan Theater. That's where "The Late Show with David Letterman" is taped.
Taylor performed five songs, "Mine", "Back to December", "Speak Now", "Love Story", and "You Belong With Me". You can check it out by hitting up the CBS site. It's a little over a half-hour in length. But the hardcore Taylor fans may wanna check it out, so here ya go:

SPEAKING OF TAYLOR...
She was a good girl for her 21st birthday earlier this week:

MILEY PARTIES W/ KELLY OSBOURNE...
MILEY CYRUS is in New Orleans shooting a movie called "So Undercover" with KELLY OSBOURNE. And over the weekend, they hit a club called Republic with a few other girls.
But it doesn't sound like Miley was being bad. A source says, "It was a good, old-fashioned girl's night. They were just dancing and hanging out. Miley was drinking Red Bulls."
The source added, "[Miley] went nuts dancing. [The group] was really nice and great to the staff. They kept saying how they want to come back. They were really polite...and saying they had such a wonderful time."
TALKIN' PANTIES!
And now, here's more knowledge about women's underwear than any man in the WORLD could ever gather on his own.
"ShopSmart" magazine just ran a nationwide survey asking women about their underwear, and here's what they found out...
The average woman owns 21 pairs of underwear. 10% own more than 35 pairs.
27% say that wearing a pair of underwear that's unattractive or doesn't fit well can RUIN THEIR DAY.
47% of women say they feel sexier and more confident wearing a nice or special pair of underwear.
65% of women mostly have "boring" colors of underwear. White is the most common, followed by black and beige.
46% of women say BRIEFS are their most common underwear style. But for women 18 to 34, BIKINI is the most common style.
(Where is BOY/BOOTY SHORTS love?!)
56% of women fold their underwear, 27% toss them in a drawer.
And finally, 10% of women say they regularly leave the house without WEARING any underwear.
YOU CAN'T DO THAT...
Last week, a 52-year-old postal worker in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin went to work and found one of his female co-workers was depressed. So he said he was going to cheer her up...by delivering mail COMPLETELY NAKED. No names have been released.
He actually went through with it. He stripped naked, went to a woman's office with a package...pun not intended...and tried to deliver it. She freaked out and called the police. He was arrested for lewd and disturbing behavior.
The U.S. Postal Service is investigating the incident. He's apologized and says it was a stupid thing to do.
OH NO YOU DI'ENT!?!?
Fast food drive thrus aren't exactly bastions of good communication...between the crappy two-way speaker and the unenthusiastic employee making minimum wage on the other side, we're lucky they even get HALF our order right. It's why I visit SHEETZ and SUBWAY frequently!
On Saturday, at a Wendy's drive thru in Lehigh Acres, Florida, that breakdown in communication led to one arrest...and one destroyed WEAVE.
21-year-old Rictoria Bethea...yes, Rictoria, not Victoria...was working the drive thru window. A woman named Chloe Glover was trying to order some food.
Rictoria was having trouble hearing her, and kept asking her to speak up. Eventually, Chloe started YELLING. Rictoria responded, "There's no need to disrespect me, because I will go out there and kick your ass."
And...she did. Rictoria left the restaurant, threw down her operator headset, reached into Chloe's car...and RIPPED OFF HER WEAVE.
That got Chloe out of the car and the two women were screaming at each other. Witnesses say they saw Rictoria punch Chloe in the face before other employees could get out there to separate them.
Rictoria has been charged with occupied burglary with battery. There's no word on how Wendy's is going to handle the case...but we'd go ahead and say the safe money is on Rictoria getting fired.

COMMENCE TEETH CHATTERING...
...YESTERDAY!
Hey, it's a bit cold out! And uh...as of this typing (10:30am Tuesday), it's still snowing! YAY! ??? Ehhhh maybe not.
What's your LEAST favorite part of winter? We'll talk about it after 4 today on Q92
GLEE GETS SHUT DOWN...
The cast of "Glee" was supposed to shoot a musical performance for their post-Super Bowl episode last Friday...but production was shut down because of a TONSILLITIS EPIDEMIC.
It's unclear who is sick...and how many cast members are affected, but we know DIANNA AGRON is one of them. She plays Quinn on the show.
She posted a Twitter message saying, "Note to self: Should have gotten a flu shot. In bed, hoping that medicine, soup, my computer and a marathon of movies will be the cure."
"Entertainment Weekly" says it was tonsillitis. It's unclear if there are multiple sicknesses going around...or if it's a flu bug. Not that it really matters.
Filming is set to resume today, although the musical performance that was going to be shot Friday has been rescheduled for next month.

NICOLE RICHIE and JOEL MADDEN got married Saturday at the Los Angeles estate of Nicole's adoptive father, LIONEL RICHIE.
Celebrity guests included Joel's twin brother Benji, Khloe Kardashian, Samantha Ronson, and Gwen Stefani with her husband Gavin Rossdale.
The ceremony was conducted by REVEREND RUN of RUN-DMC.
QUOTE THIS
"I'm a promoter of masturbation. Don't sleep around...learn yourself first."
That's 17-year-old wannabe rocker TAYLOR MOMSEN.
She adds, "Guys do, but girls don't. And that's why girls have so many bad experiences. But you can know your body, know yourself, know what feels good.
"You don't have to give yourself away just to have sexual relevance. Because I don't think sex is something people should be afraid of. It's part of human nature, so I don't think it should be so shameful...particularly for girls and young girls."
COUNTERFEIT THIS
If you just got an incredible deal on some UGG boots from a guy standing on a corner...you'll never believe this, but they're probably fake.
A website called SiteJabber just put out a list of the top 10 counterfeited items and brands for 2010, check them out.
#1.) UGGs
#2.) Coach handbags and other leather items
#3.) Tiffany jewelry
#4.) Athletic jerseys
#5.) Perfume
#6.) Nike sneakers, especially Air Jordans
#7.) Ed Hardy and Juicy clothes
#8.) Watches, mostly Rolex, Omega, and TAG Heuer
#9.) North Face, especially jackets
#10.) DVDs, mainly box sets of TV series
WORST-SELLING CARS OF THE YEAR
Auto sales actually got better overall in 2010...Americans bought about 11.5 million cars, up from 10.4 million in 2009. And some brands...like Buick, Cadillac, Infiniti, Ford, Hyundai, and Jeep...had massive years.
But some brands weren't even CLOSE to that lucky. "Forbes" put together this list of the 10 worst-selling cars of the year...all of which saw their sales decrease between 30% and 60% from 2009. Here's the list of the unfortunate 10...
#1.) Smart ForTwo, down 61% - apparently we're done caring about the environment. That, or we don't want to get obliterated into a million pieces should we get into an accident.
#2.) Subaru Tribeca SUV, down 61%
#3.) Mazda RX8, down 50%
#4.) Suzuki SX4 sedan, down 47%
#5.) Suzuki Grand Vitara SUV, down 42%
#6.) Suzuki Equator pickup, down 39%
#7.) Toyota Yaris compact, down 38%
#8.) Mazda Tribute SUV, down 36%
#9.) Scion xD compact, down 31%
#10.) Porsche Cayman, down 31%
MORE CAR NONSENSE...
A British car accessories company just finished up a survey asking men and women what they secretly love and hate about the way the other gender handles themselves in a car.
And basically, it can be summed up like this: Women like when men drive like MEN, as long as they don't get TOO aggressive and dangerous...and men like when women bring food in the car.
Here are all the findings from the survey...
Women love when male drivers know how to fix a flat tire or a broken-down car...know how to park in tight spaces...drive in reverse like a pro...have a good natural sense of direction...and drive like a MAN should drive on the freeway.
Women hate when male drivers tailgate other cars...drive too fast and dangerousl...use a cell phone...start road raging...keep changing the radio station...or live up to the tired old stereotype and refuse to ask for directions.
Men love when female drivers remember to pack food and snacks for long trips...ask for directions when they're lost...show some courtesy on the roads...avoid road rage...and talk to stay awake on night trips.
Men hate when female drivers take forever to maneuver in or out of parking spaces...put on makeup at red lights...are slow to drive when a light turns green...and talk to passengers instead of watching the road.
HATE YOUR JOB? YOU SHOULD WORK FOR GOOGLE...
Apparently it makes people happy to be part of a company that's taken over the world...AND has a chef on staff who cooks you all your meals for free.
According to a nationwide survey by CareerBliss.com, Google has the happiest employees of any company in the U.S.
Google has a reputation for taking care of its employees: They pay well, there's a lot of opportunity for advancement, they cook all your meals, there's a company gym, and they even have an on-site medical staff if you need a quick doctor's visit.
The rest of the top five happiest companies are 3M, DTE Energy, Qualcomm, and...believe it or not...the U.S. Military.
For the survey, employees rated their happiness in areas like growth opportunity, compensation, benefits, work-life balance, career advancement, management, and job security. Almost 100,000 employees were surveyed.
The company on the top 50 list with the lowest average salary was Costco. It came in 30th, and has an average salary of $40,250.
The company with the highest average salary was Sun Microsystems, where the average employee makes $101,662. But they only came in 46th overall on the list.

Another one I posted for you first on my facebook yesterday. VANESSA HUDGENS turns 22 today...and she might be doing it alone. Pretty much everybody is reporting that she and ZAC EFRON broke up.
A source says, "It's nothing dramatic. There's no third party involved. They were together for so long. It just ran its course." "They are 100% still good friends."
Zac and Vanessa had been together for about four years. Vanessa? Call me.
P!NK BABY NEWS...
"In Touch Weekly" says PINK is having a water birth. But it's not true.
Here's the denial Pink posted on Twitter ... "My mom just told me that "in touch" has informed her that she is invited to my delivery, and that I want a water birth.
"She asked me if she needs to get a snorkel. This is all news to me. Amazing. Good reporting."
EMOTICONS!!!!
A new survey by Mashable.com has finally revealed which EMOTICON people hate the most.
The most hated emoticon is...probably the one I use the most! ":p", which vaguely looks like someone sticking out their tongue.
46% of people say that's their least favorite.
The second-most hated, with 39% of the vote, is the angry face emoticon... >:(
The classic smiley face...came in as the third-most hated emoticon, with 8%. :)
The "confused" face, came in fourth, with 6%. :/
And finally, the frowning face came in fifth with 2%. :(
And with that, I leave you :p
Have a great day! :)

ONE BIG-ASS REPORT...
Ahhhh....sorry sorry! Been SO busy this week, so only one update and it ALLLL comes at once! Here we go...
FERGIE'S HUBBY GETS THE BOOT...
JOSH DUHAMEL got kicked off a plane Thursday after he refused to turn off his BlackBerry.
Duhamel was on a flight bound from New York City to Kentucky. While it was still on the runway, Duhamel was asked three times by a flight attendant to shut off the BlackBerry.
Witnesses say Josh was very rude, and even taunted the attendant. So the plane left the runway and headed back to the gate, where two U.S. Airways reps boarded and removed him from the flight.
Josh's rep later said that he was just texting someone about his flight being delayed, and added, quote, "He's sorry."
One website printed what was SUPPOSEDLY one of the texts Josh sent. quote, "Bitch stewardess wants me to turn my phone off. TRANSFORMERS, honey."
IT'S ON!! CHELSEA HANDLER AND ANGELINA JOLIE...
During a standup gig in Newark last weekend, CHELSEA HANDLER seriously went off on ANGELINA JOLIE.
She called her the C-Word, the B-Word...and a homewrecker. Of course, some of that might have to do with the fact that Chelsea and JENNIFER ANISTON have reportedly become drinking buddies lately.
ALSO, at her Cleveland show the other night, she said Angelina was "the only person more annoying" than LeBron James.
E!'s D-BAG OF THE YEAR...
E! Online has dropped yet another year-end list. This time, it's Douchebags of the Year. The top spot is kind of a no-brainer. It's JESSE JAMES. Here's the rundown...

3.) John Mayer
4.) Kate Gosselin
5.) Mel Gibson
6.) David Arquette
7.) Scott Disick (He's Kourtney Kardashian's boyfriend, and the father of her baby.)
8.) Taylor Momsen
9.) Jay Leno
10.) Kanye West

LEAST-SAFE CARS *EVER*
A website called Auto Shippers just put out this list of the 10 least-safe cars of all time...and the list is filled with older cars that were recalled, legendary cars that have reputations as being insanely dangerous, and two models from 2009!!
#1.) Ford Pinto. It blew up during accidents. The gas tank was accidentally positioned so that it would EXPLODE even in a minor bumper-to-bumper accident.
#2.) Briggs & Stratton Flyer. This car came out in 1915 and didn't have doors, a windshield, or any kind of protection from impact.
#3.) Peel Trident. This car was tiny and offered pretty much no protection to the two people jammed inside.
#4.) 1960-63 Chevy Corvair. The engine released toxic fumes, and the steering wheel would IMPAIL people during crashes.
#5.) 1974-76 Bricklin SV-1. The body was made out of bonded acrylic and fiberglass, which couldn't handle the engine's heat . . . and BURNED its drivers.
#6.) 1985 Yugo GV. The cars would generally just start rattling and fall apart.
#7.) 2009 Smart Fortwo. It gets amazing mileage, but drivers were getting ejected during crashes where they were barely going 40 miles-per-hour. It's also the size of my pinky finger.
#8.) 1984-88 Ford Mustang. These always ranked toward the top of the list for total DEATHS . . . people want to drive them fast, but they're not safe enough to handle crashes with those speeds and conditions.
#9.) 1984-88 Chevy Corvette. More people died in this model than any other car in HISTORY . . . people bought them, drove them recklessly, and crashed them.
#10.) 2009 Kia Rio. Even with modern safety standards, the car manufacturing was crappy enough that Kia Rios put a surprisingly high number of people in the hospital when they were rear-ended.
GOT AN AT&T CELL? IT PROBABLY SUCKS...
This survey probably effects EVERYONE reading it. Cell phones.
This isn't going to be a shock to people who own iPhones...or to anyone who's ever tried to have a conversation with someone who owns an iPhone. My friend Sarah has one...the call drops EVERY SINGLE TIME we talk...and she lives IN AKRON...not even out in the middle of nowhere!
In the issue of "Consumer Reports" that hit stands this week (January issue), AT&T was named the worst wireless service provider in the country. And for now, AT&T has an exclusive contract to sell the iPhone (my Verizon connections tell me its coming soon).
AT&T was the only carrier to have a significant drop in customer satisfaction from last year. More than half of the AT&T users surveyed have an iPhone.
Verizon usually wins these surveys, but this year they came in second. U.S. Cellular actually got the highest ratings of any national carrier. But, we don't have them around here, so VZW is the winner!
Sprint came in third, finishing just behind Verizon. T-Mobile came in fourth, and AT&T finished last.
AT&T issued a response to the survey saying, "We take this seriously and continually look for new ways to improve . . . our dropped call rate is within one-tenth of a percent of the industry leader. [That's one extra] call dropped in 1,000." (I don't buy it)
GHETTO CHRISTMAS...
or White-trash, take your pick!
Not everyone can afford a real Christmas tree or wreath or nativity scene. Here are 11 photos of brilliant Christmas decorations made out of things like shopping carts, cheap beer, tires, and even feminine hygiene products . . .

WITH *BIG SNOW* IN THE FORECAST...
Either this survey screwed up . . . or no one can ever say Americans are LAZY again.
Nestle commissioned a survey asking people what they like to do when there's a huge snowstorm. And given the choice between skiing, sledding, or shoveling snow that's piling up in the driveway, the most popular pick was . . . HARD LABOR.
23% of Americans said they, quote, "enjoy" shoveling snow. Only 17% picked skiing or sledding.
???
Here are some other findings from the survey . . .
Women like making snowmen much more than men. (Guys, this is why you should make a snowman with your girl and impress her. Look, free love advice. You're welcome)
Women are more likely to read a book, cook, or bake when it's snowing outside than men. (Don't do those things with her. There's probably football to watch. We can't ALWAYS be perfect)
79% of Americans have had at least one snow day in their lives where they were able to stay home from school or work.
Half of Americans believe snow days are DYING, though, because people can now work from home. Stupid internet. Eff you, Al Gore.
LET ME SEE THAT BOOTY BOUNCE...
RadarOnline.com isn't the best place to go for things like JOURNALISM and GOOD REPORTING. But when it comes to putting together erotic photo galleries, they do pretty well.

ROLLING STONE'S BEST ALBUMS OF 2010...
It's a Top 30 list. Here's the Top 10:

WACKO'S IN WISCONSIN...
My girl Heather does radio in Wisconsin...and she used to tease me about some crazy stories about strippers that seemed to always come from the Akron area. Well lately it seems I need to return the favor about some serious HEADCASES from the land of cheese...
If a woman's sitting on the toilet...that's not the time to start getting intimate with her. Right? I mean WHY the HELL would you want to?!
79-year-old Willard Lueders of Sheboygan, Wisconsin made that mistake. And it cost him BIG.
On Monday night, Willard's wife, 57-year-old Karen Lueders, had been acting strangely, talking fast and rambling about spiritual things. Around 11:15 P.M., she went into the bathroom and sat down on the toilet to do her thing.
Willard decided to take that opportunity to go reassure her...so he walked into the bathroom and kissed her while she was on the toilet.
She responded by aggressively grabbing his package...and then BITING OFF HIS TONGUE!!!
When the police arrived, Karen was outside of the house with a New Year's party horn in her hand, singing Christmas carols. (Put the bottle down lady!!!!)
She was arrested and charged with felony intentional disfigurement or mutilation, which can get her up to 25 years.
Willard was rushed to the hospital so doctors could try to reattach his tongue. Doctors say he's in satisfactory condition, but wouldn't give any other details.
MORE IDIOT STORIES...
I can't tell if the idiot criminal in this story is pro-chubby or anti-chubby. Judge for yourself . . .
Last week, police were called to a Walmart in Fort Pierce, Florida after security guards there caught a man shoplifting. The man is 44-year-old Willie Jackson of Orlando, Florida.
He'd stolen four things: An USHER CD, a LIL WAYNE CD . . . a three-pack of ChapStick, and one tube of Carmex lip balm.
And he gave the officers an explanation of why he'd stolen about $4 worth of ChapStick and Carmex. Quote, "The reason I stole the lip balm is so my fat uncle can fit through the door."
He wouldn't elaborate, so it's really not clear what that means. Our first thought was that he planned on greasing up the door frame . . . or his chubby uncle . . . to help squeeze him through. But four little tubes of lip balm doesn't seem like enough.
DOES THIS HAPPEN AT MOUNT? KENT? AKRON?
This is definitely one way to make sure that when you expose yourself, people HAVE to look.
57-year-old Raymond Taylor is a part-time accounting instructor at Kennesaw State University, just north of Atlanta, Georgia. And he was arrested for allegedly exposing himself to students...WHILE he was teaching a class.
According to the police report, Raymond was in the middle of teaching when suddenly, out of nowhere, he stripped down COMPLETELY NUDE.
One of his students reported it to school officials, and Raymond was arrested and charged with public indecency.
Kennesaw State also ended their contract with him, and said he won't be back to teach.
At least he kept it INTERESTING, right???

YES!
This is probably bad news for America's overall health and welfare...but it's an EARLY CHRISTMAS for chubby chasers!
According to the annual women's health report card put out by the Oregon Health and Science University, women in the U.S. are DRUNKER, CHUBBIER, and SKANKIER than EVER. God bless us, everyone.
Drunker. More women drank at least five drinks in one night in the past month. More than 10% binge drink at least once a month, up from 6.7% in 2007.
Chubbier. 26.4% of women are now considered obese, up from 24% in 2007.
Skankier. More women than ever are testing positive for chlamydia. (And sure, that's not necessarily a GOOD statistic to show skankiness. But a sign is a sign. Wear a rubber, bro. Wear a rubber.)
The study also found some news that doctors actually consider good signs: screening rates for colorectal cancer are up...cholesterol is down...fewer women are smoking...and fewer are dying of a stroke or coronary heart disease.
On a state-by-state basis, Vermont and Massachusetts got the best health rankings...they were the only two that got a "satisfactory-minus." Louisiana and Mississippi got the worst grades.
AIGHT...BRACE YOURSELF for possible big snow...like the FB: http://www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage
FERGIE'S HUBBY GETS THE BOOT...
JOSH DUHAMEL got kicked off a plane Thursday after he refused to turn off his BlackBerry.
Duhamel was on a flight bound from New York City to Kentucky. While it was still on the runway, Duhamel was asked three times by a flight attendant to shut off the BlackBerry.
Witnesses say Josh was very rude, and even taunted the attendant. So the plane left the runway and headed back to the gate, where two U.S. Airways reps boarded and removed him from the flight.
Josh's rep later said that he was just texting someone about his flight being delayed, and added, quote, "He's sorry."
One website printed what was SUPPOSEDLY one of the texts Josh sent. quote, "Bitch stewardess wants me to turn my phone off. TRANSFORMERS, honey."
IT'S ON!! CHELSEA HANDLER AND ANGELINA JOLIE...
During a standup gig in Newark last weekend, CHELSEA HANDLER seriously went off on ANGELINA JOLIE.
She called her the C-Word, the B-Word...and a homewrecker. Of course, some of that might have to do with the fact that Chelsea and JENNIFER ANISTON have reportedly become drinking buddies lately.
ALSO, at her Cleveland show the other night, she said Angelina was "the only person more annoying" than LeBron James.
E!'s D-BAG OF THE YEAR...
E! Online has dropped yet another year-end list. This time, it's Douchebags of the Year. The top spot is kind of a no-brainer. It's JESSE JAMES. Here's the rundown...

LEAST-SAFE CARS *EVER*
A website called Auto Shippers just put out this list of the 10 least-safe cars of all time...and the list is filled with older cars that were recalled, legendary cars that have reputations as being insanely dangerous, and two models from 2009!!
#1.) Ford Pinto. It blew up during accidents. The gas tank was accidentally positioned so that it would EXPLODE even in a minor bumper-to-bumper accident.
#2.) Briggs & Stratton Flyer. This car came out in 1915 and didn't have doors, a windshield, or any kind of protection from impact.
#3.) Peel Trident. This car was tiny and offered pretty much no protection to the two people jammed inside.
#4.) 1960-63 Chevy Corvair. The engine released toxic fumes, and the steering wheel would IMPAIL people during crashes.
#5.) 1974-76 Bricklin SV-1. The body was made out of bonded acrylic and fiberglass, which couldn't handle the engine's heat . . . and BURNED its drivers.
#6.) 1985 Yugo GV. The cars would generally just start rattling and fall apart.
#7.) 2009 Smart Fortwo. It gets amazing mileage, but drivers were getting ejected during crashes where they were barely going 40 miles-per-hour. It's also the size of my pinky finger.
#8.) 1984-88 Ford Mustang. These always ranked toward the top of the list for total DEATHS . . . people want to drive them fast, but they're not safe enough to handle crashes with those speeds and conditions.
#9.) 1984-88 Chevy Corvette. More people died in this model than any other car in HISTORY . . . people bought them, drove them recklessly, and crashed them.
#10.) 2009 Kia Rio. Even with modern safety standards, the car manufacturing was crappy enough that Kia Rios put a surprisingly high number of people in the hospital when they were rear-ended.
GOT AN AT&T CELL? IT PROBABLY SUCKS...
This survey probably effects EVERYONE reading it. Cell phones.
This isn't going to be a shock to people who own iPhones...or to anyone who's ever tried to have a conversation with someone who owns an iPhone. My friend Sarah has one...the call drops EVERY SINGLE TIME we talk...and she lives IN AKRON...not even out in the middle of nowhere!
In the issue of "Consumer Reports" that hit stands this week (January issue), AT&T was named the worst wireless service provider in the country. And for now, AT&T has an exclusive contract to sell the iPhone (my Verizon connections tell me its coming soon).
AT&T was the only carrier to have a significant drop in customer satisfaction from last year. More than half of the AT&T users surveyed have an iPhone.
Verizon usually wins these surveys, but this year they came in second. U.S. Cellular actually got the highest ratings of any national carrier. But, we don't have them around here, so VZW is the winner!
Sprint came in third, finishing just behind Verizon. T-Mobile came in fourth, and AT&T finished last.
AT&T issued a response to the survey saying, "We take this seriously and continually look for new ways to improve . . . our dropped call rate is within one-tenth of a percent of the industry leader. [That's one extra] call dropped in 1,000." (I don't buy it)
GHETTO CHRISTMAS...
or White-trash, take your pick!
Not everyone can afford a real Christmas tree or wreath or nativity scene. Here are 11 photos of brilliant Christmas decorations made out of things like shopping carts, cheap beer, tires, and even feminine hygiene products . . .

WITH *BIG SNOW* IN THE FORECAST...
Either this survey screwed up . . . or no one can ever say Americans are LAZY again.
Nestle commissioned a survey asking people what they like to do when there's a huge snowstorm. And given the choice between skiing, sledding, or shoveling snow that's piling up in the driveway, the most popular pick was . . . HARD LABOR.
23% of Americans said they, quote, "enjoy" shoveling snow. Only 17% picked skiing or sledding.
???
Here are some other findings from the survey . . .
Women like making snowmen much more than men. (Guys, this is why you should make a snowman with your girl and impress her. Look, free love advice. You're welcome)
Women are more likely to read a book, cook, or bake when it's snowing outside than men. (Don't do those things with her. There's probably football to watch. We can't ALWAYS be perfect)
79% of Americans have had at least one snow day in their lives where they were able to stay home from school or work.
Half of Americans believe snow days are DYING, though, because people can now work from home. Stupid internet. Eff you, Al Gore.

WACKO'S IN WISCONSIN...
My girl Heather does radio in Wisconsin...and she used to tease me about some crazy stories about strippers that seemed to always come from the Akron area. Well lately it seems I need to return the favor about some serious HEADCASES from the land of cheese...
If a woman's sitting on the toilet...that's not the time to start getting intimate with her. Right? I mean WHY the HELL would you want to?!
79-year-old Willard Lueders of Sheboygan, Wisconsin made that mistake. And it cost him BIG.
On Monday night, Willard's wife, 57-year-old Karen Lueders, had been acting strangely, talking fast and rambling about spiritual things. Around 11:15 P.M., she went into the bathroom and sat down on the toilet to do her thing.
Willard decided to take that opportunity to go reassure her...so he walked into the bathroom and kissed her while she was on the toilet.
She responded by aggressively grabbing his package...and then BITING OFF HIS TONGUE!!!
When the police arrived, Karen was outside of the house with a New Year's party horn in her hand, singing Christmas carols. (Put the bottle down lady!!!!)
She was arrested and charged with felony intentional disfigurement or mutilation, which can get her up to 25 years.
Willard was rushed to the hospital so doctors could try to reattach his tongue. Doctors say he's in satisfactory condition, but wouldn't give any other details.
MORE IDIOT STORIES...
I can't tell if the idiot criminal in this story is pro-chubby or anti-chubby. Judge for yourself . . .

And he gave the officers an explanation of why he'd stolen about $4 worth of ChapStick and Carmex. Quote, "The reason I stole the lip balm is so my fat uncle can fit through the door."
He wouldn't elaborate, so it's really not clear what that means. Our first thought was that he planned on greasing up the door frame . . . or his chubby uncle . . . to help squeeze him through. But four little tubes of lip balm doesn't seem like enough.
DOES THIS HAPPEN AT MOUNT? KENT? AKRON?
This is definitely one way to make sure that when you expose yourself, people HAVE to look.
57-year-old Raymond Taylor is a part-time accounting instructor at Kennesaw State University, just north of Atlanta, Georgia. And he was arrested for allegedly exposing himself to students...WHILE he was teaching a class.
According to the police report, Raymond was in the middle of teaching when suddenly, out of nowhere, he stripped down COMPLETELY NUDE.
One of his students reported it to school officials, and Raymond was arrested and charged with public indecency.

SATURDAY SHTUFF....
BRITNEY GOES OFF...
And I, for one, AM GLAD that she did! If you haven't heard, there were some rumors that her ex-hubby started to spread...he claimed Brit Brit was being beat by her current boyfriend.
The "Star" tabloid still claims it's BRITNEY SPEARS on those tapes, telling ex-husband Jason Alexander that she was abused by boyfriend Jason Trawick.
And Thursday on Twitter, Britney had a message for Jason, the "Star" and RadarOnline.com, which posted the audio.
She said, "Star Magazine, Radar Online, Jason Alexander and the rest of you liars, Ya'll can kiss my lily white southern Louisiana ass!"
She also said that she's, "off on a romantic weekend with Jason for my birthday."
And she revealed that she's almost done with her new album, and it's coming out in March.
WHEN DID CELEBS GET THEIR CARD TAKEN??
Thanks to KHLOE KARDASHIAN'S recent admission that she lost her virginity at the age of 14, the website CeleBuzz.com has put together a list of celebrities, and how old THEY were when they busted it. Here's the rundown...
Daniel Radcliffe, 16 (It was on his 16th birthday, and she was, quote, "much older.")
Britney Spears, 14 (You mean she lied to us all those years? Yes, she did. Her mom later revealed that she lost her virginity to a football player at her school.)
"Glee" star Matthew Morrison, 21 (He kept it in his pants so long by joining several Christian groups up through college.)
Tina Fey, 24 (Tina is a single-owner vehicle. She lost her virginity to director (slash) producer Jeff Richmond...whom she eventually married.)
Matthew Fox, 12 (She was 14. He calls the experience, quote, "absolutely terrible and awkward.")
Lisa Kudrow, 32 (She waited until marriage, unlike those other two "Friends" sluts.)
Adriana Lima, 27 (Believe it or not, she also waited until marriage. And NBA stud Marko Jaric reaped all the benefits! He plays in Europe now. Not that anything on Earth could make me feel sorry for him.)
Kevin Jonas, 22 (If you believe all that "purity ring" stuff, he waited to be married, too.)
Jessica Simpson, 22 (Believe it or not, Jessica waited until she married Nick Lachey. There's no word if he's the one who turned her into SEXUAL NAPALM.)
Johnny Depp, 13 (He was in a rock band, she was a groupie. Pick up a guitar, kids. Works every time!)
Dustin Hoffman, 15 (It was an older girl who mistook him for his BROTHER in a dark room.)
Brooke Shields, 22 (Brooke actually REGRETS waiting so long. She says that if she'd had sex earlier, quote, "I think I would have been much more in touch with myself.")
Anthony Kiedis, 12 (He lost it to his dad's girlfriend...long before there were any websites to show you how that's done.)
Angelina Jolie, 14 (Her first time was with a high school boyfriend. Afterward she grabbed a knife and cut him in order to, quote, "feel closer to him.")
CHRISTINA AGUILERA TALKS ABOUT HER NEW MAN...
"He's the kind of person you could spend hours with on the phone talking to and all of a sudden it's daylight."
Hmmm. See a pic of him on my facebook wall, http://www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage
T SWEEZY QUOTEABLE...
"If you cry over a guy, then your friends CAN'T date him. It can't even be considered."
-Taylor Swift in the new Seventeen magazine
SPEAKING OF TAYLOR...
I told you about this the other day, "Entertainment Weekly" has officially jumped on the TAYLOR SWIFT bandwagon, by naming her "Entertainer of the Year".
Taylor discusses several aspects of her career with the mag, including the fact that she's never actually admitted that any of her songs are about real guys. True, she hasn't!
She says, "Sometimes I would laugh because I would see it in print and it would say, 'This song, which is written about her ex, so-and-so...' And they would write about it as if it was fact.
"The fact is, I haven't ever confirmed that any song is about any particular person. There's something kind of freeing about that. As far as I'm concerned, it's all still up in the air." (
Which is interesting since just last year she admitted that any man she dates WILL have a song written about him.
She also admits that she almost didn't appear at this year's MTV Video Music Awards and sing "Innocent"...which is that song she wrote about KANYE WEST interrupting her at the previous year's ceremony.
She says, "I had decided that I didn't want to perform on the show. Or even go. Then I woke up in the middle of the night and I realized that I had to, and that I wanted to perform that song."
Others who made the Entertainer of the Year issue include James Franco, Katy Perry, Jon Hamm and Jaden and Willow Smith.
SINCE IT'S DECEMBER 4th...
We are treated with yet another 'end of year' list. Seriously, December gets NO LOVE...something big happens this month? HA, who cares! It won't be on ANY list!
E! Online has put together a list of the Top 10 Big Stories of the Year. Showbiz stories, of course. Here it is...
#1.) Lindsay Lohan goes to jail.
#2.) Paris Hilton's cocaine arrest.
#3.) Sandra Bullock wins an Oscar, divorces and adopts a baby.
#4.) Mel Gibson tapes leaked.
#5.) "Avatar" becomes the biggest movie ever.
#6.) Gary Coleman dies.
#7.) Conan O'Brien gets dumped by NBC.
#8.) The end of "Lost".
#9.) The "American Idol" judge shakeup.
#10.) Captain Phil Harris from "Deadliest Catch" dies from a stroke.
WHO YA BUYING THAT FOR?!
There's a classic episode of "The Simpsons" where Homer buys Marge a bowling ball for her birthday...knowing she won't use it and it'll quickly become HIS ball. He even had HIS name engraved on it.
And it turns out a LOT of men pull that EXACT same move.
According to a new survey, two out of five men, or 40%, say that at some point, they've bought their wife a present...KNOWING that she won't use it as much as they will.
And the most common time to do it is at Christmas. Two-thirds of the men who buy their wives self-serving presents do it this time of year.
Only 55% of women say it bothers them when their husband gets something that he clearly wants for himself.
The 10 most common gifts that husbands buy for their wives...but secretly want for themselves...are DVDs, digital cameras, laptops, concert tickets, vacations, iPods, video game systems, computers, and TVs.

And I, for one, AM GLAD that she did! If you haven't heard, there were some rumors that her ex-hubby started to spread...he claimed Brit Brit was being beat by her current boyfriend.
The "Star" tabloid still claims it's BRITNEY SPEARS on those tapes, telling ex-husband Jason Alexander that she was abused by boyfriend Jason Trawick.
And Thursday on Twitter, Britney had a message for Jason, the "Star" and RadarOnline.com, which posted the audio.
She said, "Star Magazine, Radar Online, Jason Alexander and the rest of you liars, Ya'll can kiss my lily white southern Louisiana ass!"
She also said that she's, "off on a romantic weekend with Jason for my birthday."
And she revealed that she's almost done with her new album, and it's coming out in March.
WHEN DID CELEBS GET THEIR CARD TAKEN??
Thanks to KHLOE KARDASHIAN'S recent admission that she lost her virginity at the age of 14, the website CeleBuzz.com has put together a list of celebrities, and how old THEY were when they busted it. Here's the rundown...
Daniel Radcliffe, 16 (It was on his 16th birthday, and she was, quote, "much older.")
Britney Spears, 14 (You mean she lied to us all those years? Yes, she did. Her mom later revealed that she lost her virginity to a football player at her school.)
"Glee" star Matthew Morrison, 21 (He kept it in his pants so long by joining several Christian groups up through college.)
Tina Fey, 24 (Tina is a single-owner vehicle. She lost her virginity to director (slash) producer Jeff Richmond...whom she eventually married.)
Matthew Fox, 12 (She was 14. He calls the experience, quote, "absolutely terrible and awkward.")
Lisa Kudrow, 32 (She waited until marriage, unlike those other two "Friends" sluts.)
Adriana Lima, 27 (Believe it or not, she also waited until marriage. And NBA stud Marko Jaric reaped all the benefits! He plays in Europe now. Not that anything on Earth could make me feel sorry for him.)
Kevin Jonas, 22 (If you believe all that "purity ring" stuff, he waited to be married, too.)
Jessica Simpson, 22 (Believe it or not, Jessica waited until she married Nick Lachey. There's no word if he's the one who turned her into SEXUAL NAPALM.)
Johnny Depp, 13 (He was in a rock band, she was a groupie. Pick up a guitar, kids. Works every time!)
Dustin Hoffman, 15 (It was an older girl who mistook him for his BROTHER in a dark room.)
Brooke Shields, 22 (Brooke actually REGRETS waiting so long. She says that if she'd had sex earlier, quote, "I think I would have been much more in touch with myself.")
Anthony Kiedis, 12 (He lost it to his dad's girlfriend...long before there were any websites to show you how that's done.)
Angelina Jolie, 14 (Her first time was with a high school boyfriend. Afterward she grabbed a knife and cut him in order to, quote, "feel closer to him.")
CHRISTINA AGUILERA TALKS ABOUT HER NEW MAN...
"He's the kind of person you could spend hours with on the phone talking to and all of a sudden it's daylight."
Hmmm. See a pic of him on my facebook wall, http://www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage
T SWEEZY QUOTEABLE...
"If you cry over a guy, then your friends CAN'T date him. It can't even be considered."
-Taylor Swift in the new Seventeen magazine
SPEAKING OF TAYLOR...
I told you about this the other day, "Entertainment Weekly" has officially jumped on the TAYLOR SWIFT bandwagon, by naming her "Entertainer of the Year".
Taylor discusses several aspects of her career with the mag, including the fact that she's never actually admitted that any of her songs are about real guys. True, she hasn't!
She says, "Sometimes I would laugh because I would see it in print and it would say, 'This song, which is written about her ex, so-and-so...' And they would write about it as if it was fact.
"The fact is, I haven't ever confirmed that any song is about any particular person. There's something kind of freeing about that. As far as I'm concerned, it's all still up in the air." (
Which is interesting since just last year she admitted that any man she dates WILL have a song written about him.
She also admits that she almost didn't appear at this year's MTV Video Music Awards and sing "Innocent"...which is that song she wrote about KANYE WEST interrupting her at the previous year's ceremony.
She says, "I had decided that I didn't want to perform on the show. Or even go. Then I woke up in the middle of the night and I realized that I had to, and that I wanted to perform that song."
Others who made the Entertainer of the Year issue include James Franco, Katy Perry, Jon Hamm and Jaden and Willow Smith.
SINCE IT'S DECEMBER 4th...
We are treated with yet another 'end of year' list. Seriously, December gets NO LOVE...something big happens this month? HA, who cares! It won't be on ANY list!
E! Online has put together a list of the Top 10 Big Stories of the Year. Showbiz stories, of course. Here it is...
#1.) Lindsay Lohan goes to jail.
#2.) Paris Hilton's cocaine arrest.
#3.) Sandra Bullock wins an Oscar, divorces and adopts a baby.
#4.) Mel Gibson tapes leaked.
#5.) "Avatar" becomes the biggest movie ever.
#6.) Gary Coleman dies.
#7.) Conan O'Brien gets dumped by NBC.
#8.) The end of "Lost".
#9.) The "American Idol" judge shakeup.
#10.) Captain Phil Harris from "Deadliest Catch" dies from a stroke.
WHO YA BUYING THAT FOR?!
There's a classic episode of "The Simpsons" where Homer buys Marge a bowling ball for her birthday...knowing she won't use it and it'll quickly become HIS ball. He even had HIS name engraved on it.
And it turns out a LOT of men pull that EXACT same move.
According to a new survey, two out of five men, or 40%, say that at some point, they've bought their wife a present...KNOWING that she won't use it as much as they will.
And the most common time to do it is at Christmas. Two-thirds of the men who buy their wives self-serving presents do it this time of year.
Only 55% of women say it bothers them when their husband gets something that he clearly wants for himself.
The 10 most common gifts that husbands buy for their wives...but secretly want for themselves...are DVDs, digital cameras, laptops, concert tickets, vacations, iPods, video game systems, computers, and TVs.

THEE THURSDAY...
THEE Thursday we've all been waiting for. I guess....uh, there's a little basketball game tonight? You mighta heard about that.
Let's get right to it.
EMINEM LEADS GRAMMY NODS...
Nominees for the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards were announced last night...and EMINEM leads the pack with 10 nominations, including Album of the Year, Record and Song of the Year and Best Rap Album.
BRUNO MARS got SEVEN nods. JAY-Z, LADY GAGA and LADY ANTEBELLUM followed with SIX each.
I'm going to assume that this is the first time in history that a song with the F-WORD in the title can win a Grammy. CEE LO'S "(Eff) You" is up for FOUR awards...Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best Music Video (Short Form) and Best Urban/Alternative Performance.
Now I'm going to go off on a little bit of a tangent here...a NOVELTY song, which let's just be honest, that's what "EFF YOU" is...should NEVER win song of the year! Not that it has yet, but it could...
After the nominees were announced, Cee Lo said, "It wasn't meant to be a radio song. It was meant to be something with flair and first impression and it really took on a life of its own, and I had no idea it would become what it is today."
This is where two of Bruno Mars' nominations come from, by the way. He co-wrote "(Eff) You". Did not know that!

IT'S DECEMBER 2, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS...
...apparently it's time to release a bunch of End-Of-Year lists. Ya know, EFF December!!
Anyway, Yahoo! has released its list of the most searched-for items of 2010...and MILEY CYRUS was the most popular celebrity.
--DON'T FORGET TO SCROLL DOWN AND CHECK HER *ALLEGEDLY* NUDE IN THE NEXT POST DOWN--
But she only came in THIRD overall on the list of top searches. She was beaten by the BP oil spill and the World Cup.
Here are Yahoo's top searches of 2010...
1.) BP Oil Spill
2.) World Cup
3.) Miley Cyrus
4.) Kim Kardashian
5.) Lady Gaga
6.) iPhone
7.) Megan Fox
8.) Justin Bieber
9.) "American Idol"
10.) Britney Spears
So if you're keeping track, Miley's the most popular celebrity on Yahoo, Kim Kardashian's #1 on Bing, and Tiger Woods was the top celebrity according to AOL.
LADIES, SLEEPING WITH THE SAME GUY...LOWERS YOUR SEX DRIVE!
When women start taking the Pill, lots of them find themselves with a LOWER SEX DRIVE. The popular theory is that the Pill messes with the levels of testosterone in a woman's body...and that makes her much less randy and willing.
Researchers at The Ohio State University (so you know it's accurate) just finished a study and they came to a different conclusion: Taking the Pill doesn't lower your sex drive...having sex with one person over and over just gets boring.
For their test, they had women who are on the Pill and women who aren't fill out surveys on sexual desire and satisfaction. They also tested their estrogen and testosterone levels.
Women who aren't on the Pill had much higher levels of testosterone than women who are...but there was NO statistically significant difference between their sexual desire levels.
They believe that the decrease in sex drive comes because, in a majority of cases, women on the Pill have one steady sexual partner...and without variety, their sex drives start fading.
See? Variety IS the spice of life!
DAILY DUMBASS
And it comes today from right down the road in NW Pittsburgh. On Tuesday, 33-year-old David Huffman of New Sewickley Township, Pennsylvania, physically attacked his 68-year-old mother. And when the cops arrived, he gave them his perfectly sound, logical explanation.
You ready? He told the police that the Pepsi machine at Costco told him to hurt her, so he did.
:::head, meet wall:::
He also said he was mad at his mother, quote, "because she smokes drugs."
His mother Ethel had a broken wrist and was taken to the hospital for treatment. David was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, criminal mischief, and harassment.
And also for GROSSLY misinterpreting the concept of the Pepsi challenge.
Huh? HUH!? HI-YO!!!!
Alright, that oughta do it...keep scrolling down. NAKED MILEY pics...supposedly! http://www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage - get interactive!

MILEY PICS IN THE BUFF? ALREADY?!
Miley Cyrus's purse was ALLEGEDLY stolen at an party she hosted at her place out in L.A. over the weekend. In the purse? Her celly and camera...and pictures are now starting to leak.
Let me show you the pics first:
Other pics supposedly off the phone:
My thoughts? I don't think its her in the first pic. The person in that pic looks like an older woman...perhaps in her 30's. Look at her neck. That's not the neck of an 18 year old girl. Compare it with the other pics...

SNOWBALL WEDNESDAY
...calling it that for 2 reasons. A) it snowed overnight. B) lots of stuff to talk about! So here we go...
T SWEEZY SPENDS TURKEY DAY WITH JAKEY...
TAYLOR SWIFT and JAKE GYLLENHAAL haven't admitted that they're dating yet. But they don't have to. It's pretty obvious after they spent the entire Thanksgiving Weekend together.
On Thursday morning, Taylor and Jake got maple lattes at a place called Gorilla Coffee in Brooklyn. It's right near where Jake's sister MAGGIE lives and she's a regular there.
There's no word if Jake and Taylor spent Thanksgiving with Maggie, but it sounds like a possibility.
On Saturday, they were in Taylor's hometown of Nashville...where they got breakfast at a cafe called Fido.
Pic at: www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage
They must love them some coffee. They were spotted getting more of it yesterday morning at a place called the Frothy Monkey in Nashville. Pic of that also on the FB page, linked above
A-ROD AND CAMERON DIAZ WERE ALSO TOGETHER...
The supposed breakup of CAMERON DIAZ and ALEX RODRIGUEZ didn't hold. They spent the weekend together in Mexico.
A so-called "source" says, "They break up and get back together all the time."
Just last week, they were also spotted enjoying each other on a yacht off the coast of Miami.
AWFUL MUSIC VIDEOS...
Yahoo! has put together a list of The Worst Music Videos of All Time.
There were a couple guidelines: First they didn't include old-school videos that are ONLY bad because they were shot in the '80s. Conversely, they didn't add any videos that they thought were INTENDED to be "ironic and / or campy."
They called out 21 videos, but did not rank them.
The list includes the videos for...MC Hammer's "2 Legit 2 Quit", Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy", Styx's "Mr. Roboto", Prince's "Bat Dance", Heidi Montag's "Higher" and Susan Boyle's "Perfect Day".
Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Journey, N Sync, Guns N Roses, Beyoncé, David Bowie, Vanilla Ice, and Ja Rule also made the list. You can see the complete list...and watch all the videos, here...
http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/videogaga/64353/real-turkeys-the-worst-videos-of-all-time/
PINK WANTS TO NAME HER KID AFTER A DRINK...
PINK doesn't know the sex of the baby she and hubby CAREY HART are going to have soon. But if it's a boy, she has a name picked out. She wants to call him JAMESON...after the Irish Whiskey.
That's not the only reason, though. The name has a deeper significance than that.
She says, "My dad's name is James, and my brother's name is Jason. [Carey and I] are both Irish, Carey's middle name is Jason, [and] Jameson...we like whiskey. That's a no brainer."
But Carey might not be into it. Unlike most celebrities, he wants the kid to have a NORMAL name. (GO CAREY!)
Pinkness says, "I'm all about meaning, and Carey feels like he had a girl's hair cut and a girl's name, and he doesn't want kids to have a weird name...I have to get him on the boat for originality, so I'm working on him."
GAGA TALKS NEW MUSIC...
LADY GAGA has already said that her next album "Born This Way" will be her "absolute greatest work" and that it'll be an "anthem for her generation"...and now she's hyping it as the, "greatest album of this decade."
Idk if she means THIS decade...as in the 2010s...or the PAST decade...as in the 2000s.
But interestingly enough, Gaga also seems to be taking the album MORE seriously than some of the superficial things she does for attention...or "art."
She says, "Not for nothing, the album's finished and it's (effing) really good. I promise to give you the greatest album of this decade, just for you.
"['Born This Way'] is so much deeper than a wig or lipstick or an outfit, or an (effing) meat dress...[it's] about what keeps us up at night and what makes us afraid."
HE'S POINTING THE FINGER...
NELLY'S new album "5.0" dropped earlier this month, and it only sold 63,000 copies in its first week out. These days, that was still good enough to chart at #10, but Nelly wasn't satisfied...and he's blaming his label for the poor sales numbers.
He says, "A record deal is a 50/50 partnership! As [an] artist it's your job to provide the record company with music that [the record company] can sell.
"Who should be held responsible when an artist has a history [of] selling records...so it's not like a new artist [and] no one knows his or her name? Benefit of the doubt: Maybe no one wants to hear music from that artist?
"Well if that was true, then the artist would not have a #1 song! […] The fact is that someone needs to hold up their end of the partnership! If folks say they didn't even know when the album came out...
"If you only ship 200,0000 [copies] of an album, how many are you (effing) tryin' to sell? The artist doesn't control that...nor does he or she control marketing."
Nelly's last album "Brass Knuckles" sold nearly 84,000 copies in its first week.
In 2004, Nelly released TWO albums at once...and they BOTH sold over 300,000 copies in the first week. "Suit" debuted at #1 selling 396,000 copies, and "Sweat" came in at #2 with 342,000.
And in 2002, "Nellyville" sold 714,000 copies in its first week out.
You could also certainly chalk it up to the state of the music industry as well...
MILA KUNIS SEX SCENE...
I told you last week how Mila had to slim down for the role in a new flick coming...well check this out! The ballet thriller "Black Swan" comes out Friday...and it seems like all the hype is centered around the movie's sexuality. Especially a love scene between NATALIE PORTMAN and MILA KUNIS.
Mila let her dad see the movie...but NOT that particular scene. She says, "My dad walked away in the middle of the film. I asked him to. I don't think any dad should see. It's just not necessary."
"He was like, 'I don't think I should see the movie.' I was like, 'See the movie. [but] there's going to be a point; get up and leave.'"
I may get up and leave. But that would be AFTER the sex scene....
WE STILL SAY "MERRY CHRISTMAS"...
CBS News and "Vanity Fair" just released the results of a survey asking Americans which holiday greeting they use...along with a bunch of other completely random questions. But the answers are interesting, so here you go...
71% of Americans say "Merry Christmas" to people this time of year. 23% say "Happy Holidays." And the other 6% say...something else.
25% of people say their life is interesting enough for a reality show.
26% said that if one U.S. landmark had to be sold to a foreign country, they'd want it to be the Hollywood sign. 18% said Graceland, 14% said Washington, D.C., and 12% said Disney World.
And finally, 33% say they're worried about Google and Yahoo having their personal information. 14% are worried about the U.S. government having their personal info.

TEXAS LEADS THE NATION IN CAR/ANIMAL COLLISIONS...
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety just released the data for road fatalities in the U.S. involving cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles hitting ANIMALS.
Overall, between 2005 and 2009, 1,017 people were killed in crashes with animals. (There aren't any numbers on how many animals have died, but based on the amount of roadkill I see, it's MUCH higher.)
In a state-by-state breakdown, TEXAS has the most fatal car-animal crashes, with 88.
The rest of the top five are Wisconsin with 57, Michigan with 53, OHIO with 49, and Pennsylvania with 48.
Connecticut, Hawaii and Rhode Island tied for the fewest, with only TWO fatal car-animal crashes in the past five years. Delaware only had three, Massachusetts only had four, and Nevada only had five.
Across all 50 states, 60% of the people who died in car crashes with animals weren't wearing seatbelts. And 65% of the people who died in a motorcycle crash with an animal weren't wearing helmets.
About three out of four fatal collisions happened when a car hit a deer!!! Only one of the 1,017 happened in a collision with a BEAR.
T SWEEZY SPENDS TURKEY DAY WITH JAKEY...
TAYLOR SWIFT and JAKE GYLLENHAAL haven't admitted that they're dating yet. But they don't have to. It's pretty obvious after they spent the entire Thanksgiving Weekend together.
On Thursday morning, Taylor and Jake got maple lattes at a place called Gorilla Coffee in Brooklyn. It's right near where Jake's sister MAGGIE lives and she's a regular there.
There's no word if Jake and Taylor spent Thanksgiving with Maggie, but it sounds like a possibility.
On Saturday, they were in Taylor's hometown of Nashville...where they got breakfast at a cafe called Fido.

They must love them some coffee. They were spotted getting more of it yesterday morning at a place called the Frothy Monkey in Nashville. Pic of that also on the FB page, linked above
A-ROD AND CAMERON DIAZ WERE ALSO TOGETHER...
The supposed breakup of CAMERON DIAZ and ALEX RODRIGUEZ didn't hold. They spent the weekend together in Mexico.
A so-called "source" says, "They break up and get back together all the time."
Just last week, they were also spotted enjoying each other on a yacht off the coast of Miami.
AWFUL MUSIC VIDEOS...
Yahoo! has put together a list of The Worst Music Videos of All Time.
There were a couple guidelines: First they didn't include old-school videos that are ONLY bad because they were shot in the '80s. Conversely, they didn't add any videos that they thought were INTENDED to be "ironic and / or campy."
They called out 21 videos, but did not rank them.
The list includes the videos for...MC Hammer's "2 Legit 2 Quit", Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy", Styx's "Mr. Roboto", Prince's "Bat Dance", Heidi Montag's "Higher" and Susan Boyle's "Perfect Day".
Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Journey, N Sync, Guns N Roses, Beyoncé, David Bowie, Vanilla Ice, and Ja Rule also made the list. You can see the complete list...and watch all the videos, here...

PINK WANTS TO NAME HER KID AFTER A DRINK...
PINK doesn't know the sex of the baby she and hubby CAREY HART are going to have soon. But if it's a boy, she has a name picked out. She wants to call him JAMESON...after the Irish Whiskey.
That's not the only reason, though. The name has a deeper significance than that.
She says, "My dad's name is James, and my brother's name is Jason. [Carey and I] are both Irish, Carey's middle name is Jason, [and] Jameson...we like whiskey. That's a no brainer."
But Carey might not be into it. Unlike most celebrities, he wants the kid to have a NORMAL name. (GO CAREY!)
Pinkness says, "I'm all about meaning, and Carey feels like he had a girl's hair cut and a girl's name, and he doesn't want kids to have a weird name...I have to get him on the boat for originality, so I'm working on him."
GAGA TALKS NEW MUSIC...
LADY GAGA has already said that her next album "Born This Way" will be her "absolute greatest work" and that it'll be an "anthem for her generation"...and now she's hyping it as the, "greatest album of this decade."
Idk if she means THIS decade...as in the 2010s...or the PAST decade...as in the 2000s.
But interestingly enough, Gaga also seems to be taking the album MORE seriously than some of the superficial things she does for attention...or "art."
