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.
