USHER SAYS NO WIFEY!
Now that USHER is divorced, he's in no hurry to make that mistake again. He says, "Seeing how marriage didn't work out for me the first time, I'm in no rush to do it again."
Instead, he's got a better idea, "Maybe I can find a couple of women who are open-minded. Look at how Hugh Hefner does it, with a harem of women."
Whether he's being serious or not, Usher probably really COULD start a harem. Because he's still got women hitting on him all the time.
He says, "Sh**, what haven't they said to me? Every so often you meet a woman who's very aggressive. 'I'll make you feel things you've never felt in your life.' 'Once you get it, you'll never let it go.' All that."
And Usher admits that he's not above falling for a woman's sexual pitch. Asked if those lines have ever worked on him, he says, "A couple of times."
Usher also compares his divorce last year from his wife Tameka to the LINDSAY LOHAN situation..."People love a train wreck. Lindsay Lohan...everybody is eager to see how that comes out. This is somewhat the same thing."
It is? Oh ok then Usher.
SPEAKING OF SPLITSVILLE?
You're about to read the BEST story of the day! OK, well I am. We don't know why CHRISTINA AGUILERA and her husband, Jordan Bratman, are splitting up. But it might have had something to do with the fact that Christina was allowed to have sex with women whenever she wanted to..........(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
That's according to some anonymous woman who claims she was propositioned by Christina one night.
(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I, for real, don't even know if I can go on right now. Have we ever heard about Christina being into girls before? I don't seem to recall it! How HOT is that?!
She says, "I was at [a club] one night when Christina's bodyguard approached me. He said, 'My boss would really like you' and pointed over to Christina.
"The bodyguard told me it was an understanding within their marriage and that she brings girls home and Jordan's okay with it. (!!!!!!!) (Of course he is. Smart man.) I met Christina in the bathroom and she told me she liked to play with girls.
"I ended up not pursuing anything with it because the situation just seemed so weird to me, but Christina was definitely looking to hook up."
The woman adds, "My understanding was that Jordan wasn't involved when she brought girls home, so maybe the divorce is because Jordan's jealousy got the best of him."
Do you buy any of this? I WANT to, but I don't know if I do....
YOUR PARENTS ARE ABOUT TO LEARN ABOUT JERSEY...
The "Jersey Shore" cast will make BARBARA WALTERS' annual "10 Most Fascinating People" list...or at least "Life & Style" magazine says they will.
Apparently, Barbara is planning on lumping them together as one entity. (They shouldn't mind...they pretty much lump themselves together into one entity.)
There's no word on who else may be on the list. Barbara's "10 Most Fascinating People of 2010" special will air on ABC on December 9th.
MONOPOLY IS BACK...
McDonald's is running its Monopoly game promotion again. And people love it...there were little game pieces all over the studio the other day...even though it's basically impossible to win anything other than a medium fry.
A website called Eat With a Spork put together a calculator that lets you pick one of the prizes from this year's McDonald's Monopoly...and calculates how many Big Macs you'd probably have to eat before you win.
I tested it out with the $500 cash prize. The odds are one in 1,204,981. In the simulation, I had to eat 442,366 Big Macs before I won...which cost me $1.65 MILLION, and made me gain 68,250 pounds!! So much for the diet!

SMART KID!
There are two parents in Matthews, North Carolina who are raising a responsible son with sound morals. Although now they're probably thinking they've done TOO good a job.
Last week, their 11-year-old fifth grader was at a D.A.R.E. class at his elementary school. That's the program where cops talk to kids at schools about the dangers of drugs.
After the assembly, the kid went up to the police officer and told him that his parents had marijuana at home. The police went to the house, and the kid led them right to his parents' stash.
His 40-year-old father and 38-year-old mother were arrested and charged with marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The Matthews police say the boy did the right thing. Quote, "Even if it's happening in their own home with their own parents, they understand that's a dangerous situation because of what we're teaching them."
The boy was removed from the parents' house temporarily and is currently staying with relatives.
WAKE UP WITH THE KING...
OK, I did a McD's story...only fitting that BK gets some love!
Burger King is offering a new line of pillow cases so you can sleep next to the King:

BAD CANDY!!!
The average American eats 24 pounds of candy every year. And I'm not sure if you've heard, but...candy is bad for you. Just to put it in perspective:
A pack of Skittles has more sugar than two scoops of Haagen-Dazs ice cream. And there are the same number of calories in nine Twizzlers as there are in a Wendy's Double Stack Burger.
So if you want to avoid the worst-of-the-worst this Halloween, here's a list from "Men's Health" of the four worst Halloween candies, and what you should eat instead...
THE WORST "FUN SIZE" CANDY BAR: BUTTERFINGER. There's no faster way to swallow 100 calories and 4 grams of fat. Go with a 3 Musketeers instead. The fun size bars have 63 calories and half the fat. I like me some Musket!
THE WORST FRUITY CANDY: AIRHEADS. They're basically sugar, artificial flavors, and partially hydrogenated oil...which means they have trans fat. Give out Dum Dum lollipops instead. Kind of lame compared to Airheads, but they have half the calories.
THE WORST CHEWY CANDY: CARAMELS. Each one has about 40 calories and more than one gram of fat. And you never just eat one. Instead, have a "Now And Later." They have less than half the calories and almost no fat.
THE WORST NOVELTY CANDY: REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER PUMPKINS. Say it ain't so!!!They're like regular Peanut Butter Cups, but bigger...which is why they're so amazing. But they also have almost two-thirds more calories.
So stick with Reese's BITE SIZE Peanut Butter Cups. You can eat four, and it's still better for you than eating one Peanut Butter Pumpkin.
Probably no blog tomorrow, unless I'm bored. See ya Wednesday! :)

Posted FIRST on my facebook page earlier this week that they'd gone splitsville. And now it's official, CHRISTINA AGUILERA filed for divorce yesterday from Jordan Bratman. Her papers say they've been separated since September 11th.
She's seeking joint physical and legal custody of their son Max, who'll be 3 in January. She also asks that all her earnings...even those from before and during the marriage...be considered separate property.
And she doesn't want the court to give Jordan spousal support. Christina and Jordan would have celebrated their fifth anniversary next month.
Sad. OK, it's not really. I'll rescue her!
SNOOKI SPIN-OFF...
RadarOnline.com claims SNOOKI is getting her own "Jersey Shore" spin-off.
A so-called "insider" says that MTV was originally developing something for both Snooki and JWOWW...but that JWoww was "pushed out" because MTV execs thought a show featuring just Snooki would be a bigger hit.
For the record, a rep for MTV would only say, "We can't confirm any new 'Jersey Shore'-related programming at this time."
This isn't the first time we've heard talk that "Jersey Shore" may be spawning. Back in April, there were reports that MTV was developing a "spin-off" called "Wicked Summer", which would take place in Boston.
It's unclear how it would be a "spin-off". At the time, it didn't sound like it would feature any of the "Jersey Shore" stars. It could very well just be a show LIKE "Jersey Shore"...but we haven't heard anything about it since.
And a few weeks ago, RadarOnline reported that MTV was giving DJ PAULY D his own spin-off. It was supposed to begin shooting sometime this month.
BRET MICHAELS WANTED TO 'IDOL'...
BRET MICHAELS has confirmed speculation that he was a finalist to be a judge on "American Idol". If he'd gotten the gig, he would have been at the judge's table instead of STEVEN TYLER. And he's a little down about losing the gig.
He tells MTV News, "I made it into the top five people. It came down to five people in the end. I was disappointed [it didn't work out]. I'd love to have done it. I'm competitive, so it would have been great.
"On the other hand, to have [JENNIFER LOPEZ] and Steven Tyler . . . one's a pop icon and one's a rock legend and both, along with Randy, are going to make such amazing TV."
Oh are they?
Anyway, Bret adds, "[Steven] lays it out there. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's crazy, and I love that about him. I think he's going to be able to give them great advice. And I know J.Lo has been through it all. I think they've got it covered."
Bret doesn't have any hard feelings toward Steven. He says, "I can truly say that I lost to a worthy opponent."
NO SCHOOL ON T-SWEEZY DAY!!!
A TAYLOR SWIFT fan named Chloe created a "Twitition"...a petition on Twitter...asking other fans to stay home from school on the day that Taylor's new album comes out.
The Twitition was created back on Monday...or at least that's the date of Chloe's original signature. As of 6pm Friday, there were 136 other signatures. Since there are 11 days left before the album drops, that number could rise significantly.
According to one of Chloe's Tweets, she says she came up with the plan as a way to, "Get my dad to let me take the day off." It's not clear if her dad was in on this nonsense from the beginning...or if
he's even agreed to go along with the plan.
Here's what the Twitition reads, "Help persuade Swifties' parents to let the true Swifties stay home from school, or at least half of the school day, on October 25th, 2010, in order to buy Taylor's 'Speak Now' album when store doors open."
There's no word if Taylor knows about this...but if she does, I doubt she'll say anything. Taylor's smart enough to know that you CANNOT encourage kids to take off from school just to listen to your album. I bet she stays quiet because it's a lose-lose situation for her to get involved.

"THE ANTHEM" THURSDAY
The Anthem. As in the GOOD CHARLOTTE song. Today is the day!! LISTEN to Q92, it's the ONLY way to get in to not only SEE GC, but MEET them as well!!
THE WOMEN OF ROCK....
The E! network has just announced a new reality show called "Married to Rock", which follows the wives of three rock stars, and the girlfriend of another.
The cast features: Etty Farrell, who's married to Jane's Addiction singer Perry Farrell...Susan Holmes McKagan, the wife of former Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan. (He also briefly played with Jane's Addiction earlier this year.)
Josie Stevens, the wife of Billy Idol's guitarist Steve Stevens...and AJ Celi, who's dating Billy Duffy, the guitarist for The Cult.
An E! suit explains, quote, "So many women have a fantasy about landing a rock star. We're raising the curtain on the rock 'n' roll lifestyle and showing there's more to it than the late-night partying, ravaged hotel rooms and jet-set life we've all read about.
"But, of course, there's all of that too." The show debuts on November 7th.
Of course, the curtain-raising could've been much more interesting if they actually landed some wives of current, relevant rock STARS!!! I'm just sayin'
NEW MUSIC FROM K-$$$...AND HER SPIRITUALNESS...
KE$HA has a secret weapon with her on tour: A spiritual healer.
She tells "Seventeen" magazine, "I have a spiritual healer on tour with me, and we center our chakras before every show. We meditate and try to hone in on my psychic abilities, and go to acupuncture, and eat super organic."
In Hindu and Buddhist ideology, "chakras" are basically a series of spiritual energy wheels that operate as "force centers" in your body...I guess.
Eating "super organic" is a notch above eating "really organic"...again I guess. And two notches above plain "organic". And it's a notch below "absolutely organic." Uh, yeah.
But maybe Ke$ha's spiritual healer can let loose a little, too.
She says, "I could party in a cardboard box with people who are funny and don't care. For me, it's really about who I surround myself with, so I just try to always be with hilarious people."
Btw, Ke$ha is putting out a new disc called "Cannibal" on November 22nd. It's a nine-song, "companion album" to her debut, "Animal".
T.I. IS PREVENTING SUICIDES....WAIT, WHAT?!
T.I. personally talked a young man out of jumping off a skyscraper in Atlanta yesterday. For real. T.I. saved the dude's life. Here's how it went down.
At around 4:00 P.M., a local radio station there was talking about how there was a man, who has only been identified as "Joshua," threatening to jump off a 22-story office building. The radio station studios are actually INSIDE that building.
T.I. heard about the situation on the radio, and rushed over to the building. When he got there, he coordinated with the police to try to help talk Joshua down.
He quickly recorded a message on a cell phone that said, "Nothing is that bad. Nothing in life is worth taking your life. I'm here to help you. Please come down to talk to me."
It worked. Joshua came down off the roof in exchange for some face time with T.I. in the lobby of the building.
An Atlanta police officer said, "He didn't have to stop. He could've kept on going about his business. We're happy it ended the way it did, and we thank him."
T.I. later told the Associated Press, "I told him it ain't that bad. It'll get better, to put the time and effort into making it better. I just reminded him, know that I know. It looks bad right now, but it can turn around."
He added that Joshua seemed, "beat up by life." (The man was taken to the hospital. The police won't be pressing any charges against him.)
All this comes at a VERY convenient time for T.I. Tomorrow he'll be in court asking a judge not to revoke his probation for a drug bust last month.
But T.I. says he wasn't even thinking about that. In a radio interview after all the excitement, T.I. said that he isn't accepting any credit for his role in talking Joshua down.
He added, "I didn't wake up this morning with the intentions of going down and helping hostage negotiators talk someone down off of a ledge. I don't think that can be in anyone's plan of action."
THE MINER STORY YOU *REALLY* WANNA KNOW ABOUT...
Back in September, I told you about this saga. And now, with the Chilean miners being rescued, it's reached its conclusion.
You're very happy and all that about the Chilean miners finally being rescued.
But what you REALLY wanted to hear about was what happened to 50-year-old Yonni Barrios. He's the miner whose AFFAIR was exposed while he was trapped...after both his mistress AND his wife showed up to hold a vigil for him!!
Well...early yesterday morning, Yonni was the 21st miner rescued from the mine. And there to greet him was...HIS MISTRESS. No wifey!
That mistress is 45-year-old Susana Valenzuela. When Yonni emerged, she was there to give him a giant hug and kiss. His wife, 56-year-old Marta Salinas, REFUSED to be there if the mistress was going to be there.
According to Yonni's sister, now that he's out, he's REALLY trying to do the old have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too thing. "He loves them both and he wants them to be friends with each other."
HA!!!!!!
His wife says that's not an option.
Duh.
Listen to WIN those GC tickets! We'll see you tonight for K'NAAN & PAPER TONGUES!

MONDAY-TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY...
...(Thursday, Friday, Saturday, eeeeeven on Sundaaaaaay....sorry)
2010 AMA NOMS...
The nominees for the "38th Annual American Music Awards" were announced yesterday. This is the biggest 'competitor' to the Grammys....and this year, EMINEM and LADY ANTEBELLUM tied for the most nominations with five apiece.
JUSTIN BIEBER was next with four...and KATY PERRY, KE$HA, USHER and rapper B.O.B. followed with three each.
Yes, Bieb seriously got more nominations than Katy, Usher, and B.o.B
If he WINS more than them, THAT will be a true travesty!
Eminem and Justin will face off in three categories...including the top award, Artist of the Year. LADY GAGA is also up for that, along with Katy Perry and Ke$ha. And any of those artists deserve the crown far more than Justin, let's be honest...
AMA nominees are determined using a formula that weighs artists' music sales, prevalence on radio and TV, Internet streams and videos...plus, "additional online metrics," which includes "social-media activity."
ABC will air the ceremony live on Sunday, November 21st.
As usual, YOU will choose the winners. Voting is open NOW at AMAvote.com. You'll have to provide an email address to register before casting your vote.
NOMINATIONS AND MY COMMENTARY:
ARTIST OF THE YEAR:
--Justin Bieber
--Eminem
--Ke$ha
--Lady Gaga
--Katy Perry
ROB THOUGHTS: Tough call. You could probably rule out the Bieb right away. Ke$ha had much success, but not as much as the others. I bet it goes to Lady Gaga, but 2009 was her year. Not 2010. Eminem should get it, in my opinion, though I wouldn't hate it going to Katy P.
BREAKTHROUGH ARTIST:
--B.o.B
--Justin Bieber
--Taio Cruz
--Jason Derulo
--Ke$ha
--Lady Antebellum
--Travie McCoy
--Mike Posner
ROB THOUGHTS: Travie was with Gym Class for several years so I say no to him. Who should get this? I'm going with B.o.B or Mike Posner. While I like Taio and Derulo, they didn't really hit as hard as B.o.B, and re-ignite an entire genre of music as he did with hip-hop.
But, I bet Lady A wins this.
FAVORITE MALE ARTIST - POP / ROCK:
--Justin Bieber
--Eminem
--Usher
ROB THOUGHTS: Eminem or Usher. I like Usher here.
FAVORITE FEMALE ARTIST - POP / ROCK:
--Ke$ha
--Lady Gaga
--Katy Perry
ROB THOUGHTS: Katy
FAVORITE BAND, DUO OR GROUP - POP / ROCK:
--Black Eyed Peas
--Lady Antebellum
--Train
ROB THOUGHTS: Train or Peas
FAVORITE POP / ROCK ALBUM:
--"My World 2.0", Justin Bieber
--"Recovery", Eminem
--"Teenage Dream", Katy Perry
ROB THOUGHTS: Eminem. Hard to deny his huge success with this album.
FAVORITE ARTIST - ALTERNATIVE ROCK:
--Muse
--Phoenix
--Vampire Weekend
ROB SAYS: Muse or Phoenix. I'm going Muse.
FAVORITE MALE ARTIST - RAP / HIP-HOP:
--Eminem
--Drake
--B.o.B
ROBBIE SEZ: Em or Drake
FAVORITE RAP / HIP-HOP ALBUM:
--"Recovery", Eminem
--"Thank Me Later", Drake
--"B.o.B Presents", B.o.B
ROB: Give it to Em
MY FUTURE GIRLFRIEND IS ABOUT TO BE IN PLAY...
Celebrity breakups are apparently the big thing this year...because CHRISTINA AGUILERA and her husband, Jordan Bratman, are trying it too.
A so-called "source" says, "Yes they are separated. Right now they're just trying to figure things out. There are no divorce proceedings at this point. They have their ups and downs like all married couples. They argue like everyone else."
Another source says, "They were very much in love. But over the last six months, it became clear they were more like friends than husband and wife."
Christina released a brief statement saying, "Although Jordan and I are separated, our commitment to our son Max remains as strong as ever."
Max will be 3 in January. Christina and Jordan got married in 2005.
RICHTER DOES CONAN...
CONAN O'BRIEN'S longtime sidekick, ANDY RICHTER, will follow him to TBS.
Andy said, "I'm thrilled to be going back to work with Conan...and very excited to start a whole new venture on TBS. However, I am mostly looking forward to getting out of the house again."
And Conan joked, "This decision was made without my authority. I will get to the bottom of this."
The new show starts November 8th!
SEXY VIDS...
Fuse TV recently conducted a survey to determine pop music's "Top 10 Sexiest Video Hotties"...and after over 30,000 votes were counted, BEYONCÉ came out on top. She received the honor for her "Sweet Dreams" video. Which I gotta tell you, is flat out WRONG. Xtina's "Dirrty" is just about the sexiest video of all time in the history of ever. And while it's on the list, it should have beaten Beyonce! As should Womanizer...and Teenage Dream! Anyway...
Here's the Top 10:
#1.) BEYONCÉ, for her "Sweet Dreams" video
#2.) KATY PERRY, for her "Teenage Dream" video
#3.) BRITNEY SPEARS, for her "Womanizer" video
#4.) LADY GAGA, for her "Bad Romance" video
#5.) FERGIE, for her "London Bridge" video
#6.) RIHANNA, for her "Hard" video
#7.) CHRISTINA AGUILERA, for her "Dirrty" video
#8.) PINK, for her "Sober" video
#9.) SHAKIRA, for her "She Wolf" video
#10.) NICKI MINAJ, for her "Massive Attack" video
AKON'S NEW DISC...
AKON'S new album, "Stadium", is scheduled to drop sometime next month.
He chose that title because he's getting BIGGER, apparently. He says, "I started getting bigger, the music kind of grew with it." That musical growth includes a new "worldly" blend of music and beats.
Akon says, "[I'm still] the type of artist that created my music based from my experience. I'm always in Europe, always in Asia, always in India, always in Japan, always in Africa, the U.K., France, and this is the kind of music that I'm exposed to."
T SWIZZLE SAYS "I'M AN A-HOLE"...
We know TAYLOR SWIFT loves to trash her ex-boyfriends in the songs she writes. Well, guess what? She actually wrote a song admitting SHE was the A-hole in the relationship.
It's called "Back to December", and it's on her album "Speak Now". (The song is available now on iTunes. The album drops October 25th.)
Here's what Taylor said about "Back To December", quote, "(It) addresses a first from me in that I've never apologized to someone in song before. Whether it be good or bad or an apology, the person I wrote this song about deserves this.
"This is about a person who was incredible to me, just perfect to me in a relationship, and I was really careless with him. So, this is a song full of words that I would say to him that he deserves to hear."
Taylor didn't say who the song is about...but Popeater.com suggests its "Twilight" stud TAYLOR LAUTNER. As you know, they dated for a while last year, and broke up in...wait for it, December!!!
At the time, they both called it a mutual breakup, but Popeater claims Taylor Swift is the one who ended it because she was feeling smothered.
They cite a rumor going around that Lautner flew to Nashville to surprise Taylor Swift on her twentieth birthday, which was December 13th. But Taylor Swift didn't appreciate the intrusion, and she broke it off.
So now the song "Back to December" comes out and it's no stretch to believe it's about Taylor Lautner. I agree.
HOW TO GET AHEAD...
If you decided to have SWEET, TABOO RELATIONS with your BOSS, do you think it'd help you get promoted? Apparently, for one out of every six people, the answer is a definite YES.
A new survey of American workers found that 17%...or about one out of six...say that they think having an affair with their boss would get them a promotion or a better salary.
And 7%...or about one out of 14...say they've followed through and HAD relations with their boss. For some reason though, the people running the survey didn't ask the follow-up question about whether those people DID get promotions.
The survey also found that only 18% of people are connected to their boss on a social networking site like Facebook or LinkedIn. (Our boss doesn't do the social networking thing)
Of those people, 45% have adjusted their privacy settings to keep some parts of their profile...and photos...blocked from their boss.
91% of people think their boss respects them. (Even though they want to sleep with him or her AND give up access to all the dumb stuff their friends are posting on Facebook? Must be a really forgiving boss.)
SPEAKING OF FACEBOOK...
This is quite ridiculous: An artist named Benjamin Lotan launched a website called PrintingFacebook.com, where he'll print you a poster featuring photos of ALL of your Facebook friends. It only runs $20, plus $6 shipping.
The poster is 20 inches by 40 inches. It can accommodate as few as 200 friends, or up to 2,200 friends. If you have more than that, or you don't want to include all your friends, you can select a specific group of friends you want for the poster. So, I could plaster 912 people on my wall (....my actual wall)
Benjamin says that looking at all of your friends on a poster, "Is totally different from looking at pictures on Facebook. You get drawn into it. It's a trace of everyone you've known or met."
Pffffft!
THE BROWNS ARE THE 26TH MOST-POPULAR NFL TEAM...
The Dallas Cowboys haven't really been Super Bowl contenders in a long, long, long, long, long, long time. But apparently, the fans they made when they WERE champs aren't the bandwagon jumpers!
Harris Interactive just released the results of its annual NFL poll, and for the fourth straight year, the Cowboys are the most popular team in the U.S.
The five most popular teams are the Dallas Cowboys, the Indianapolis Colts, the Green Bay Packers, the P***sburgh Steelers, and the New Orleans Saints.
As expected, everyone jumped on the New Orleans bandwagon last year, after they won the Super Bowl: They made the biggest jump, from the 24th most popular team in 2009, to fifth most popular in 2010.
For the second straight year...and the fifth time in six years...the Jacksonville Jaguars are the LEAST popular NFL team.
The Seattle Seahawks had the biggest drop, from 14th last year to 31st out of the 32 NFL teams this year.
Overall, 53% of Americans say they actively follow professional football. That's up from 51% last year.

GAGA DID SOPRANO...
LADY GAGA had a tiny part in an episode of "The Sopranos" back in 2001.
(That was the third season. At the time, she was still known as Stefani Germanotta.)
She played "a 15-year-old rebel." (The video just popped up online. You can watch it below. NOT SAFE FOR WORK...there's an F-bomb)

TV? DYNAMITE!
Fox has ordered six episodes of a new animated series based on "Napoleon Dynamite". But it isn't going to be just a lame knock-off with no connection to the original movie.
A lot of the stars from the original movie will be back to voice their characters, including Jon Heder as Napoleon, Efren Ramirez as Pedro, Aaron Ruell as Kip Dynamite and Jon Gries as Uncle Rico.
Plus, brothers Jared and Jerusha Hess, who co-wrote the movie, will serve as executive producers. (Jared Hess also directed the movie.)
So just to be clear...this doesn't mean that it can't end up being a lame knock-off with a strong connection to the original movie.
There's no word on when it might premiere. More than likely, it'll eventually end up among Fox's animated lineup on Sunday nights.
LAMBERT IS PROTESTED....
OK. It's that time once again...time for us to tell you about the latest performer whose upcoming concert is being protested by the strict Muslim fundamentalists in Malaysia.
It's ADAM LAMBERT!!!
Usually, these Malaysian protests are over female performers who are known for showing a lot of skin onstage. But as you've probably guessed, their problem with Adam is the fact that he's a gay man.
Although, his onstage wardrobe may very well be a contributing factor.
A spokesperson for an anti-Adam Lambert group says, "[His] shows are outrageous, with lewd dancing and a gay performance that includes kissing male dancers. This is not good for people in our country."
In Malaysia, gay sex is a CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
The concert is scheduled for Thursday, and as of last night, it was still a GO.
Adam has responded on Twitter..."While I don't believe that my Glam Nation tour is in any way offensive, I have agreed to make a few minor adjustments out of respect for the Malaysian government."
He added, "Does my show 'promote the gay lifestyle'? It promotes living ANY lifestyle that includes the freedom to seek love and intimacy. Gay, straight, bi, young or old. It's all inclusive. Plus, what's THE gay lifestyle? There isn't just one.
"There are so many different kinds of gay people. We have a variety of different lifestyles. There's not only one lifestyle lived by straight folks. Generalizing..."
LADIES, YOU WON'T LIKE THIS...
A new study has a theory for why women like to cuddle after sex and men don't.
And unfortunately for the ladies, it comes down to a hard scientific truth: Men are already focused on their next sexual conquest.
The researchers say it's grounded in basic biological instincts: After a woman has sex, her instincts tell her to bond with the man as much as possible, and keep him around in case he just knocked her up.
After a man has sex, his instinct is to do whatever it takes to have sex again as SOON as possible, to try to increase his chances of reproducing as MUCH as possible.
In the study, women almost universally were more into intimate talking, kissing, cuddling, and talking about the state of their relationships after sex.
Men were more into claiming a reward, whether it was smoking a cigarette, watching TV, going to sweet, delicious sleep...or moving on to the next lady.
But, there was one sign that men ARE evolving: Men found it equally important to say "I love you" to their long-term partner after relations.
YES!!!
There's a man who's $1 MILLION richer today...and all he had to do was risk getting shot and killed by a Secret Service marksman.
On Sunday, 24-year-old Juan James Rodriguez STREAKED in front of PRESIDENT OBAMA during a speech in Philadelphia.
A British billionaire named Alki David was offering $1 MILLION to anyone who was willing to perform the stunt while shouting the name of Alki's website six times in front of the president.
I first told you about this offer back in August...but at the time, the prize was $100,000, not $1 MILLION. Looks like upping the stakes finally got someone to risk getting thrown in prison.
That website is Battlecam.com, and it's a fairly generic video-sharing website. In fact, none of us would ever have heard of it without this stunt, so I guess it worked. Alki has confirmed he'll pay Juan once he sees Juan's friend's video of the streak.
On Sunday, Juan stripped down with "Battlecam.com" written across his chubby torso, and started screaming the website while Obama spoke. He was arrested for public nudity, but otherwise it looks like he'll be getting away with it.
Weirdly enough, during Obama's speech, a different man THREW A BOOK at him. The book missed...the Secret Service says that the book was thrown by an excited fan and wasn't a threat.
There's no video yet but we're sure they'll post it eventually!
That'll be it! LOTS of stuff today! Enjoy your humpday!
2010 AMA NOMS...
The nominees for the "38th Annual American Music Awards" were announced yesterday. This is the biggest 'competitor' to the Grammys....and this year, EMINEM and LADY ANTEBELLUM tied for the most nominations with five apiece.
JUSTIN BIEBER was next with four...and KATY PERRY, KE$HA, USHER and rapper B.O.B. followed with three each.
Yes, Bieb seriously got more nominations than Katy, Usher, and B.o.B
If he WINS more than them, THAT will be a true travesty!
Eminem and Justin will face off in three categories...including the top award, Artist of the Year. LADY GAGA is also up for that, along with Katy Perry and Ke$ha. And any of those artists deserve the crown far more than Justin, let's be honest...
AMA nominees are determined using a formula that weighs artists' music sales, prevalence on radio and TV, Internet streams and videos...plus, "additional online metrics," which includes "social-media activity."
ABC will air the ceremony live on Sunday, November 21st.
As usual, YOU will choose the winners. Voting is open NOW at AMAvote.com. You'll have to provide an email address to register before casting your vote.
NOMINATIONS AND MY COMMENTARY:
ARTIST OF THE YEAR:
--Justin Bieber
--Eminem
--Ke$ha
--Lady Gaga
--Katy Perry
ROB THOUGHTS: Tough call. You could probably rule out the Bieb right away. Ke$ha had much success, but not as much as the others. I bet it goes to Lady Gaga, but 2009 was her year. Not 2010. Eminem should get it, in my opinion, though I wouldn't hate it going to Katy P.
BREAKTHROUGH ARTIST:
--B.o.B
--Justin Bieber
--Taio Cruz
--Jason Derulo
--Ke$ha
--Lady Antebellum
--Travie McCoy
--Mike Posner
ROB THOUGHTS: Travie was with Gym Class for several years so I say no to him. Who should get this? I'm going with B.o.B or Mike Posner. While I like Taio and Derulo, they didn't really hit as hard as B.o.B, and re-ignite an entire genre of music as he did with hip-hop.
But, I bet Lady A wins this.
FAVORITE MALE ARTIST - POP / ROCK:
--Justin Bieber
--Eminem
--Usher
ROB THOUGHTS: Eminem or Usher. I like Usher here.
FAVORITE FEMALE ARTIST - POP / ROCK:
--Ke$ha
--Lady Gaga
--Katy Perry
ROB THOUGHTS: Katy
FAVORITE BAND, DUO OR GROUP - POP / ROCK:
--Black Eyed Peas
--Lady Antebellum
--Train
ROB THOUGHTS: Train or Peas
FAVORITE POP / ROCK ALBUM:
--"My World 2.0", Justin Bieber
--"Recovery", Eminem
--"Teenage Dream", Katy Perry
ROB THOUGHTS: Eminem. Hard to deny his huge success with this album.
FAVORITE ARTIST - ALTERNATIVE ROCK:
--Muse
--Phoenix
--Vampire Weekend
ROB SAYS: Muse or Phoenix. I'm going Muse.
FAVORITE MALE ARTIST - RAP / HIP-HOP:
--Eminem
--Drake
--B.o.B
ROBBIE SEZ: Em or Drake
FAVORITE RAP / HIP-HOP ALBUM:
--"Recovery", Eminem
--"Thank Me Later", Drake
--"B.o.B Presents", B.o.B
ROB: Give it to Em
MY FUTURE GIRLFRIEND IS ABOUT TO BE IN PLAY...
Celebrity breakups are apparently the big thing this year...because CHRISTINA AGUILERA and her husband, Jordan Bratman, are trying it too.
A so-called "source" says, "Yes they are separated. Right now they're just trying to figure things out. There are no divorce proceedings at this point. They have their ups and downs like all married couples. They argue like everyone else."
Another source says, "They were very much in love. But over the last six months, it became clear they were more like friends than husband and wife."
Christina released a brief statement saying, "Although Jordan and I are separated, our commitment to our son Max remains as strong as ever."
Max will be 3 in January. Christina and Jordan got married in 2005.
RICHTER DOES CONAN...
CONAN O'BRIEN'S longtime sidekick, ANDY RICHTER, will follow him to TBS.
Andy said, "I'm thrilled to be going back to work with Conan...and very excited to start a whole new venture on TBS. However, I am mostly looking forward to getting out of the house again."
And Conan joked, "This decision was made without my authority. I will get to the bottom of this."
The new show starts November 8th!
SEXY VIDS...
Fuse TV recently conducted a survey to determine pop music's "Top 10 Sexiest Video Hotties"...and after over 30,000 votes were counted, BEYONCÉ came out on top. She received the honor for her "Sweet Dreams" video. Which I gotta tell you, is flat out WRONG. Xtina's "Dirrty" is just about the sexiest video of all time in the history of ever. And while it's on the list, it should have beaten Beyonce! As should Womanizer...and Teenage Dream! Anyway...
Here's the Top 10:
#1.) BEYONCÉ, for her "Sweet Dreams" video
#2.) KATY PERRY, for her "Teenage Dream" video
#3.) BRITNEY SPEARS, for her "Womanizer" video
#4.) LADY GAGA, for her "Bad Romance" video
#5.) FERGIE, for her "London Bridge" video
#6.) RIHANNA, for her "Hard" video
#7.) CHRISTINA AGUILERA, for her "Dirrty" video
#8.) PINK, for her "Sober" video
#9.) SHAKIRA, for her "She Wolf" video
#10.) NICKI MINAJ, for her "Massive Attack" video
AKON'S NEW DISC...
AKON'S new album, "Stadium", is scheduled to drop sometime next month.
He chose that title because he's getting BIGGER, apparently. He says, "I started getting bigger, the music kind of grew with it." That musical growth includes a new "worldly" blend of music and beats.
Akon says, "[I'm still] the type of artist that created my music based from my experience. I'm always in Europe, always in Asia, always in India, always in Japan, always in Africa, the U.K., France, and this is the kind of music that I'm exposed to."
T SWIZZLE SAYS "I'M AN A-HOLE"...
We know TAYLOR SWIFT loves to trash her ex-boyfriends in the songs she writes. Well, guess what? She actually wrote a song admitting SHE was the A-hole in the relationship.
It's called "Back to December", and it's on her album "Speak Now". (The song is available now on iTunes. The album drops October 25th.)
Here's what Taylor said about "Back To December", quote, "(It) addresses a first from me in that I've never apologized to someone in song before. Whether it be good or bad or an apology, the person I wrote this song about deserves this.
"This is about a person who was incredible to me, just perfect to me in a relationship, and I was really careless with him. So, this is a song full of words that I would say to him that he deserves to hear."
Taylor didn't say who the song is about...but Popeater.com suggests its "Twilight" stud TAYLOR LAUTNER. As you know, they dated for a while last year, and broke up in...wait for it, December!!!
At the time, they both called it a mutual breakup, but Popeater claims Taylor Swift is the one who ended it because she was feeling smothered.
They cite a rumor going around that Lautner flew to Nashville to surprise Taylor Swift on her twentieth birthday, which was December 13th. But Taylor Swift didn't appreciate the intrusion, and she broke it off.
So now the song "Back to December" comes out and it's no stretch to believe it's about Taylor Lautner. I agree.

SLIZZARD SATURDAY
Seems like EVVVVVVVERYONE is having a party tonight! So it's a SLIZZARD SATURDAY, here's some shtuff for ya!
RUSSELL BRAND WON'T BE CHARGED...
RUSSELL BRAND will NOT be charged for going after a paparazzi scumbag who ALLEGEDLY tried to get an upskirt photo of KATY PERRY at Los Angeles International Airport last month.
Both Russell and the photographer do have to attend a hearing on November 19th. E! Online says the purpose of that hearing is so the judge can "lecture them on the letter of the law and officially inform them that they're in the clear."
FACEBOOK DOES "SOCIAL NETWORK"...
Facebook founder MARK ZUCKERBERG had said that he didn't want to see "The Social Network". He wasn't too happy that it was even made in the first place, and he's described it as "fiction".
But apparently he had a change of heart. Because according to "Us Weekly", he took his entire Facebook staff to see it last Friday.
A company rep says, "To celebrate a period of intense activity at Facebook, we decided to go to the movies. We thought this particular movie might be amusing."
SPEAKING OF FACEBOOK...
Christopher Sibona is a business student at the University of Colorado at Denver, and he just finished a survey of more than 1,500 people to figure out why they UNFRIEND someone on Facebook. Yes, parents, your dollars at work.
Here's what he found...
The number one reason someone might unfriend you is that you make unimportant posts...and you make them WAY too often.
(FYI: All of my posts are important. www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage)
Number two is that you post about controversial topics like politics or religion.
(FYI: I never post about these things. www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage)
And number three is that you post inappropriate things, like obscene or racist comments.
(FYI. I may sometime post some of these things, but if it's funny and makes you laugh, who gives a f**k? <---see, not obscene. I edited. www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage)
There's also a chance you could get unfriended for something that's NOT related to your etiquette on Facebook...27% of people have unfriended someone for something that happened offline, like a break up or a falling out.
(FYI. Even ex-girlfriends 'like' me www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage)
The study also found that people are much less likely to unfriend someone when they're the ones who initiated the friend request.
(FYI. I'll never drop yo ace. <---See? Edited again. www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage)
TV QUICKIE...
WILMER VALDERRAMA...who played Fez on one of the best shows of all time, "That '70s Show"...has a new sitcom in development at ABC. There's no title or ballpark premiere date yet. All we know about it is that it's a, "live-action comedy with a musical component" that was created by a couple of producers from "American Dad".
SNL TONIGHT...
Jane Lynch of "Glee" fame is hosting...BRUNO MARS is the musical guest
THIS IS KINDA FUNNY...BUT, IT'S ON!!!!!!!!!!!
Of all people...BEYONCÉ'S sister, SOLANGE KNOWLES, exploded on KATY PERRY in a series of Twitter posts earlier this week. Yes, really.
Solange blew up after catching her five-year-old son Daniel Julez watching Katy's sexy "California Gurls" video, which she compares to, "kiddie porn."
She Tweeted, "But seriously. I don't like the fact that Julez thinks he gotta sneak [and watch] 'California Gurls' on YouTube. Katy Perry is polluting the chirrens.
(Rob interjection: Does a 5 YEAR OLD really sneak anything, knowingly? I mean, it's not like a 14 year old sneaking off to watch porn, ya know? Could the kid just like the song...or, I don't know, the fact that it's FILLED WITH CANDY...WHICH KIDS LOVE?!?!?!?!?!?! OK, I feel better...)
Back to Solange..."It is like kiddie porn though. All them damn colors, candy and (crap)...and then daisy dukes, breast shooting cream."
Naturally, Solange then turned her attention to Katy's controversial, cleavage-y "Sesame Street" appearance. Which went viral on YouTube, but won't end up airing on PBS.
She Tweeted, "And then Elmo and (rhymes with BITS)!? [That] sounds like a personal problem." (Katy hasn't responded. Nor should she.)
YOU JUST WANNA TAKE A FASTER RIDE...
Every year, PPG Industries releases their data on the most popular car color in North America. And for the past 10 years, the result has always been the same. We just LOVE our SILVER cars.
And, this year, silver isn't just the most popular color yet again...it's more popular than EVER.
31% of the cars sold in North America this year were silver, grey, or charcoal. That's up from 25% in 2009 and 20% in 2008.
Black and white tied as the second-most popular colors this year, at 18% each.
Red was third, at 11%.
Blue is fourth, at 10%.
"Natural" is fifth, at 8%. That includes colors like brown, tan, gold, orange and yellow.
And finally, green was last, at 4%.
That's a pretty stunning drop for green. In 1994, green was the most popular car color in North America, at 21%. Back then, silver only had an 8% share. My uncle is a car dealer, and he says they can't give green cars away!
SHOULD I ASK HIM ABOUT THIS?
So we have DAVID ARCHULETTA in Canton on Monday. Think I should ask him about this?
Former "American Idol" runner-up DAVID ARCHULETA was on "The Wendy Williams Show" yesterday, and when he looked at a picture of the new "Idol" judges standing together, he thought STEVEN TYLER was a woman.
He said, "Who's that other girl?", then tried to claim he was talking about JENNIFER LOPEZ. But Wendy Williams didn't buy it.

REALITY STAR BRAWL!!!
ANGELINA PIVARNICK from "Jersey Shore" refereed a celebrity boxing match on Saturday, and one of the boxers was KERRY SCHWARTZ from the VH1 reality show "Frank The Entertainer In A Basement Affair." (remember that one?)
Then afterward, the two of them almost got into a REAL fight in the bar where they were doing the after-party.
They didn't land any punches, but according to RadarOnline, they've now agreed to fight in their own celebrity boxing match next month.
They get into it at :35, then start arguing again at 1:50. WARNING: Not safe for work...this video is filled with F-bombs and other profanity.

EMINEM ON CBS SUNDAY...
Yep, it's your grandparents show, so you won't be looking for it. But I'm here to let you know! EMINEM will be featured on 60 MINUTES, which will air on CBS (WOIO-19) this SUNDAY evening (10/10).

The DETROIT NEWS reported that locations featured in the interview range from EMINEM's childhood home, to the restaurant where he worked.
ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND! Sunshine, 70's...perfecto!

A company rep says, "To celebrate a period of intense activity at Facebook, we decided to go to the movies. We thought this particular movie might be amusing."
SPEAKING OF FACEBOOK...
Christopher Sibona is a business student at the University of Colorado at Denver, and he just finished a survey of more than 1,500 people to figure out why they UNFRIEND someone on Facebook. Yes, parents, your dollars at work.
Here's what he found...
The number one reason someone might unfriend you is that you make unimportant posts...and you make them WAY too often.
(FYI: All of my posts are important. www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage)
Number two is that you post about controversial topics like politics or religion.
(FYI: I never post about these things. www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage)
And number three is that you post inappropriate things, like obscene or racist comments.
(FYI. I may sometime post some of these things, but if it's funny and makes you laugh, who gives a f**k? <---see, not obscene. I edited. www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage)
There's also a chance you could get unfriended for something that's NOT related to your etiquette on Facebook...27% of people have unfriended someone for something that happened offline, like a break up or a falling out.
(FYI. Even ex-girlfriends 'like' me www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage)
The study also found that people are much less likely to unfriend someone when they're the ones who initiated the friend request.
(FYI. I'll never drop yo ace. <---See? Edited again. www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage)
TV QUICKIE...
WILMER VALDERRAMA...who played Fez on one of the best shows of all time, "That '70s Show"...has a new sitcom in development at ABC. There's no title or ballpark premiere date yet. All we know about it is that it's a, "live-action comedy with a musical component" that was created by a couple of producers from "American Dad".
SNL TONIGHT...
Jane Lynch of "Glee" fame is hosting...BRUNO MARS is the musical guest
THIS IS KINDA FUNNY...BUT, IT'S ON!!!!!!!!!!!
Of all people...BEYONCÉ'S sister, SOLANGE KNOWLES, exploded on KATY PERRY in a series of Twitter posts earlier this week. Yes, really.
Solange blew up after catching her five-year-old son Daniel Julez watching Katy's sexy "California Gurls" video, which she compares to, "kiddie porn."
She Tweeted, "But seriously. I don't like the fact that Julez thinks he gotta sneak [and watch] 'California Gurls' on YouTube. Katy Perry is polluting the chirrens.
(Rob interjection: Does a 5 YEAR OLD really sneak anything, knowingly? I mean, it's not like a 14 year old sneaking off to watch porn, ya know? Could the kid just like the song...or, I don't know, the fact that it's FILLED WITH CANDY...WHICH KIDS LOVE?!?!?!?!?!?! OK, I feel better...)
Back to Solange..."It is like kiddie porn though. All them damn colors, candy and (crap)...and then daisy dukes, breast shooting cream."
Naturally, Solange then turned her attention to Katy's controversial, cleavage-y "Sesame Street" appearance. Which went viral on YouTube, but won't end up airing on PBS.
She Tweeted, "And then Elmo and (rhymes with BITS)!? [That] sounds like a personal problem." (Katy hasn't responded. Nor should she.)
YOU JUST WANNA TAKE A FASTER RIDE...
Every year, PPG Industries releases their data on the most popular car color in North America. And for the past 10 years, the result has always been the same. We just LOVE our SILVER cars.
And, this year, silver isn't just the most popular color yet again...it's more popular than EVER.
31% of the cars sold in North America this year were silver, grey, or charcoal. That's up from 25% in 2009 and 20% in 2008.
Black and white tied as the second-most popular colors this year, at 18% each.
Red was third, at 11%.
Blue is fourth, at 10%.
"Natural" is fifth, at 8%. That includes colors like brown, tan, gold, orange and yellow.
And finally, green was last, at 4%.
That's a pretty stunning drop for green. In 1994, green was the most popular car color in North America, at 21%. Back then, silver only had an 8% share. My uncle is a car dealer, and he says they can't give green cars away!
SHOULD I ASK HIM ABOUT THIS?
So we have DAVID ARCHULETTA in Canton on Monday. Think I should ask him about this?
Former "American Idol" runner-up DAVID ARCHULETA was on "The Wendy Williams Show" yesterday, and when he looked at a picture of the new "Idol" judges standing together, he thought STEVEN TYLER was a woman.
He said, "Who's that other girl?", then tried to claim he was talking about JENNIFER LOPEZ. But Wendy Williams didn't buy it.

REALITY STAR BRAWL!!!
ANGELINA PIVARNICK from "Jersey Shore" refereed a celebrity boxing match on Saturday, and one of the boxers was KERRY SCHWARTZ from the VH1 reality show "Frank The Entertainer In A Basement Affair." (remember that one?)
Then afterward, the two of them almost got into a REAL fight in the bar where they were doing the after-party.
They didn't land any punches, but according to RadarOnline, they've now agreed to fight in their own celebrity boxing match next month.
They get into it at :35, then start arguing again at 1:50. WARNING: Not safe for work...this video is filled with F-bombs and other profanity.

KELLY CLARKSON'S NEW ALBUM...
If you have been eagerly awaiting new music from Kelly Clarkson, your wait is almost over! Kelly Clarkson is looking to release her new album early next year, with a single coming before that. Kelly has been tweeting some of the details about her new album, and you can read them below.
"Just finished up w/ Jason Halbert in the studio. It's one of my favorites and its called "you won't know what it's like."
Kelly went on to say on Twitter:
We’ve almost completed the album. We’re gonna have way too many songs to pick from ….and that part sucks
"Probably not till the beginning of the year but my single will come out before that. It takes too long. I’m bored & ready 2 tour:)
my favorite song off of the new album is “You Love Me”
There are actually 2 duets on the new record & I have at some point sang w/both of these artists before but not on record.
There is definitely one song that could have been on My December and it’s also a duet ….and I’m not saying who yet
HITCH DOES TV...
Remember that WILL SMITH movie "Hitch"? Good stuff! Well, Fox just obtained the rights to make it into a TV series. And according to Deadline.com, Fox won a BIDDING WAR to get it. And that actually wasn't a joke.
There aren't any details yet...but Deadline.com says it'll be created by writer Pete Chiarelli, who wrote the SANDRA BULLOCK instant-classic "The Proposal". And no, that's not a joke either.
The movie "Hitch" is about a "date doctor," who was played by Will Smith. He helps Kevin James get into Amber Valletta's pants...and in the process, finds love himself with Eva Mendes.
WEEZY SAYS "NO MORE MAIL!"
LIL WAYNE has received over 100 pieces of fan mail a day while at Rikers Island prison...and he's previously talked about how much he enjoys reading letters from fans. But now he'd like everyone to STOP.
Yesterday, a message was posted on his Twitter account saying, "I can no longer write my fans, as difficult as this may be to say please stop sending me mail, I luv u and will see you soon."
Wayne didn't explain WHY he can't write to his fans anymore...but earlier this week he was moved to solitary confinement for "music contraband", where he will do the rest of his time.
He's still expected to be released on November 4th.
T-SWEEZY SAYS 'I DONT THINK SO'...
If you're thinking you can make some extra coin by going on the sly and printing up some t-shirts with TAYLOR SWIFT'S face on them...well, don't. Taylor sued some dudes who were doing just that...and she won.
Taylor was granted an injunction and default judgment against 16 people accused of selling unauthorized merchandise featuring her likeness and trademarks.
And the guys sound pretty stupid too. In one case they sold bootleg Taylor Swift stuff six feet outside the door of one of her concerts. Two of them even got arrested after fighting with Swift's merchandise manager!
WANT HAPPINESS, LADIES? DUMP YOUR DUDE!
According to 24-YEAR study in Germany, a woman's weight has more of an effect on her happiness than whether or not she's in a relationship. In other words: Being skinny makes women much happier than any man could.
Dr. Pam Spurr helped lead the study. She says that this study shows how much of a stigma has been put on being chubby...and how that stigma has INFECTED our brains.
"I have worked with many overweight women and their weight is always on their minds. And not the back of their minds but at the forefront, because we live in a society that is constantly evaluating shape, size and attractiveness."
"People who are obese are stigmatized by people thinking they are stupid or lazy or just don't care."
CHECK THAT CELLY...
We all know it's pretty rude to whip out a cell phone in a restaurant and start talking. I mean...it's not a movie theater!
But according to a new survey by Zagat, TWO-THIRDS of people think it's JUST as rude to pull out your phone in a restaurant to text or check email.
Tim Zagat, the founder of Zagat, says, quote, "A lot of people do it, and the restaurant is not going to tell you to stop unless you're shouting while you're on the phone. [But] two-thirds of the people at your table will probably find it irritating."
SPOOKY NEWS
The days of carving a gap-toothed smile into a perfectly round, orange pumpkin are OVER. This ain't your grandma's Halloween anymore!!
According to pumpkin growers and retailers across the country, the big trend this Halloween is buying the UGLIEST pumpkin you can find.
Jamie Hoffman runs the Outstanding Seed Company in Monaca, Pennsylvania (right down the road from Salem, actually). She says, "We're putting a fair amount of effort into pumpkins that are not round and orange. [People want] surprises, pumpkins that are multicolored and warted."
Randy Graham grows pumpkins at his farm in Champaign, Illinois. And he says, "Anything that's ugly or weird or unusual, it just sells like crazy."
The National Retail Federation estimates that 68.5 million Americans...or more than one out of every five of us...will buy a pumpkin for Halloween. That's up 5% in the past five years.
Overall, Americans will spend $1.63 BILLION...yes, BILLION with a "B"...on Halloween decorations this year. The NRF doesn't break down what percentage of that is pumpkins, but it's definitely a good chunk.
Alright, have a good rest of your evening!

LIKE A G6, LIKE A G6, NOW, NOW-NOW-NOW...
Word.
I WILL NOW MOVE TO NYC...
KIM and KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN have moved to New York City for yet another reality show, just as Kim finds herself SINGLE. And she plans on taking advantage of that fact.
She says, "I'm down for some hookups...I have never really given it a shot to be single. I tried and I tried to play that role but I really wasn't single."
GOD BLESS THE USA THAT MILEY IS PARTYING IN...
I've said it for at LEAST 2 years. The next Britney Spears, ladies and gentlemen. Get ready!! It's getting closer!!
Have MILEY CYRUS' parents, TISH and BILLY RAY, lost control of their daughter?
According to the website HollywoodLife.com, the answer is YES.
A so-called "family friend" says, "At first Tish, got upset when people would tell her her daughter was being wild, but now she's realizing it herself.
"We're concerned for her. She's 17 years old, but is the one who makes the money and calls all the shots in the family. No one tells Miley no. And even if they did, she's so charismatic that she'd convince them to change their minds."
The source adds, "She's a sweet girl at heart, but she's starting to push the envelope. Between the fast-paced lifestyle and her new 'image', everyone is saying that it's just a matter of time before she ends up in trouble.
"We don't want her to be the next Lindsay Lohan, but the odds are against her."
WOOO!!!! Bring on the trainwrecks! The hot mess!
GET READY FOR CONAN!!!
CONAN O'BRIEN has put out another funny promo for his new TBS show, which premieres on November 8th.
It's a spoof of those SEXY, slow-motion, car wash videos...but in his, Conan seductively washes a DESK to DEF LEPPARD'S "Pour Some Sugar on Me".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUus_-DEpTA
NEW PEAS!!!
The BLACK EYED PEAS have announced that their next album will be called "The Beginning"...and that it'll hit stores on November 30th.
The title plays off their last album, "The E.N.D."...although E.N.D. was an abbreviation for "Energy Never Dies".
A while back, WILL.I.AM. said the new disc would be about, "growth, new beginnings and starts, fresh new perspective"...whatever that means.
"The E.N.D." has been certified Double Platinum...and featured three #1 singles: "I Gotta Feeling", "Boom Boom Pow" and "Imma Be", plus "Rock That Body", and "Meet Me Halfway"
NEW P!NK!!!
I linked you up with this FIRST on my Facebook page last night (http://www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage)
PINK will release a compilation album called "Greatest Hits...So Far!!!" on November 16th. It'll include two NEW songs: One is called "Raise Your Glass", and it got released to radio at 6pm last night. It's also streaming on her site for you to check out:

DON'T HIT BAMBI!!!
My friends at State Farm just released the odds of driving into a DEER in every state in the country.
The good news: If you're driving through Hawaii, it's not gonna happen. The bad news: If you're driving through West Virginia, there's a VERY high chance it might.
I remember driving thru Southern Ohio a few years ago in November and literally swerving to avoid the deer parts and guts that were strewn about the freeway!
West Virginia has the worst deer collision odds in the country: Drivers there have a one-in-42 chance of hitting a deer. One in FORTY-TWO. (!!!) In comparison, Hawaii has the best odds, at one in 13,011.
Iowa has the second-worst odds, at one in 67. Michigan is third, at one in 70. I've always seen plenty of deer on vacations in Michigan, especially farther north. South Dakota is fourth, at one in 76. And Montana is fifth, at one in 85.
Most of the low-risk states are in the west, where deer are much less common. After Hawaii, Arizona has the second-lowest odds, at one in 1,788.
Nevada has the third-lowest odds, at one in 1,488. California has the fourth-lowest, at one in 1,046. And Florida has the fifth-lowest, at one in 971.
Ohio, we're above average at 1 in 121.
Overall, across the entire country, the average odds you'll get in your car and hit a deer this fall are about one in 183.
The average cost when a car hits a deer is $3,013. And one very lonely Bambi.
I'll put a pic of the map on my facebook, check it out here: www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage
WOULD YOU DATE A JERSEY SHORE GUY?
On their "reality" show, the "Jersey Shore" guys act like studs...but in real life, most women wouldn't want to date them. Or even sleep with them.
In a survey conducted by Wet...which is a LUBRICANT company...80% of women say they would NOT want to sleep with any of the guys on "Jersey Shore". That includes THE SITUATION, DJ PAULY D, RONNIE and VINNY.
So, why wouldn't they? Most women said they couldn't stand the way the "Jersey Shore" men treated the women they brought on the show.
And 60% of men and women said they wouldn't date a cast member...because they'd be EMBARRASSED to introduce them as their significant other to their family and friends.
5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE SOCIAL NETWORK...
NOTE: There are movie spoilers here, so if you haven't seen it yet and want to, I'd SKIP this story!
#1.) IT'S ONLY *SORT OF* BASED IN REALITY. Facebook wasn't started because Mark Zuckerberg was trying to impress a girl: They made up the part at the beginning of the movie where a girl dumps him. Zuckerberg actually had a girlfriend at the time.
But obviously they had to change that part. Because creating websites just isn't sexy. No one sits around with hot naked chicks writing html code. It's a lonely, isolated, hunched-over-the-keyboard-eating-Slim-Jims experience.
#2.) THE MOVIE FEATURES WRITER AARON SORKIN AT HIS BEST. The script is fast and smart. It's by Aaron Sorkin...the guy who did "The West Wing"...and he's even better here.
#3.) JESSE EISENBERG AND JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE KICK ASS. Jesse Eisenberg...the kid from "Adventureland" and "Zombieland"...is no longer the poor man's Michael Cera. And Justin Timberlake is so good you'll forget it's him. Like I've said before, there's NOTHING that JT doesn't do well!
#4.) TWO TWINS, ONE ACTOR? There are two rich WASP-y twins in the movie...and they're actually played by the same actor, ARMIE HAMMER, using special effects.
What, there weren't any good twin actors available? Are the twins of Hollywood outraged over this? I bet it's like when a girl dyes her hair red to play Annie, and the redheads freak out. Blood will be spilled!
#5.) YOU HAVE TO SEE IT. It's two hours, but they fly by because the story is so captivating. Yeah, it's overdramatized...but they overdramatize it perfectly.

LIL WAYNE IN CONFINEMENT...
LIL WAYNE will serve the last month of his prison sentence in what Rikers officials call, "punitive segregation." Or as we know it...solitary confinement. He'll spend 23 hours a day by himself, separated from the other inmates.
It's his punishment for being caught with "music contraband" earlier this year. He had headphones and a charger for an mp3 player hidden in a potato chip bag in his cell.
Weezy will also have his phone privileges reduced to just one call a week...outside of calls to his lawyer. He also won't be allowed to watch TV, and will have to eat all his meals in his cell.
Wayne will be released on November 4th.
BIGGEST SEX STUDY...EVER!!!!
Researchers at Indiana University's Center for Sexual Health Promotion just released the results of an ENORMOUS sex study. It's actually the largest, most comprehensive American sex study since 1994.
They surveyed 5,865 people, ages 14 to 94, about a ton of sexual topics. The result was 130 pages of charts...which somehow managed to turn the topic of sex into boring math.
After digging through the entire thing to find all the sexiness buried under charts and graphs, here are nine of the most interesting facts from the survey.
#1.) No one touches themselves more frequently than men 25 to 29. In the past month, 68.6% of men that age say they've had their way with themselves.
#2.) No one touches themselves less frequently than women over 70. In the past month, only 11.5% of RANDY female senior citizens have molested themselves. That's about one out of nine, for what it's worth.
#3.) Teenagers are more responsible than adults when it comes to using condoms on random hook-ups. The last time they had casual sex, 84.2% of males 14 to 17 and 88.9% of females in that age group used a condom.
No other age group came even CLOSE to those percentages, which I guess is good and bad. Good that we are educating the kids to be responsible. Bad, because, well...we're hypocrites. For people 18 to 24, that dropped to 46.9% condom usage during casual sex for men and 31% for women.
#4.) People in relationships go at themselves a lot. Across all ages except 70 and over, about HALF of people of both genders who are in relationships had their way with themselves at least once in the past 90 days.
#5.) People in relationships have more oral than single people. Ignore the stereotypes that say oral ENDS once you're in a relationship. In every case, couples gave and received oral more than single people the same age.
#6.) Grandparents have backdoor relations too. 1.4% of married people age 70 and up had the dirtiest kind of sex in the past 90 days.
#7.) Backdoor relations are getting more popular. Compared to a similar study from 1992, about twice as many men and women admit that they've gone in through the out door in their lifetime.
#8.) People who have same sex relations don't always think of themselves as gay. In the survey, 7% of women and 8% of men identified themselves as gay, lesbian or bisexual.
But far more had admitted to having some kind of same sex contact in their lives. For example, almost 11% of men 20 to 24 say they've RECEIVED in the naughty way from another man . . . but many of them identify themselves as hetero.
#9.) Men overestimate women's climaxes. About 85% of men say that the last time they had sex with a woman, she reached her moment of climax. Only 64% of women say they got there in their last sexual encounter.

BRUNO GETS CHARGED...
BRUNO MARS was officially charged with one felony count of "possession of a controlled substance" on Friday. The "controlled substance" was cocaine.
He was busted with a baggie containing 2.6 grams of cocaine in Las Vegas last month...after a bathroom attendant ratted him out. (The guy told security that he thought someone was doing drugs in one of the stalls.)
Bruno allegedly copped to having cocaine...telling police that he, "did a foolish thing and has never used drugs before."
If convicted, Bruno is looking at up to four years in jail and a $5,000 fine. But who knows? PARIS HILTON got off with a year of probation, a fine and some community service.
SINGER MARIO ARRESTED...
R&B singer (he had the big song "Let Me Love You" about 5 or 6 years ago) and former "Dancing With the Stars" contestant MARIO was arrested in Baltimore on Friday...for allegedly assaulting his mother, Shawntia Hardaway.
Police were called to the apartment that Mario and Shawntia share at about 1:00 A.M. Friday morning. She told them that he pushed her and was throwing and damaging property.
Cops saw a broken china cabinet and mirror, a hole punched through a closet door and other damages at the apartment.
A police spokesman said, "It looks like it was between him and his mother. He allegedly shoved his mother against the wall, she hit her head, it looks like he then became verbally abusive.
"She feared for her safety, and police were contacted."
He also, "used his hands and forearms and pushed her in the chest and shoulder area causing minor pain and discomfort."
Shawntia also said that Mario attacked her earlier in the week, pushing her, quote, "eight feet into a living room wall."
Mario was booked on a second-degree misdemeanor assault charge, and released on $50,000 bond.
Mario's people say the incident was directly related to Shawntia's well-documented HEROIN PROBLEM.
His attorney says, quote, "[This is] an unfortunate incident between a loving son and a mother who continues to struggle with a devastating addiction.
"Anyone who has waged the battle to save loved ones from the forces of drugs knows the irrational behavior that almost always accompanies their actions. Despite the allegations, Mario remains committed to supporting his mother."
Mario actually took a break from his career to help his mom kick drugs. It was chronicled by MTV for a 2007 documentary called "I Won't Love You to Death: The Story of Mario and His Mom".
THE SECRET?
People...THIS is how you keep a relationship fresh: After four years together, NICK LACHEY and VANESSA MINNILLO take two showers together PER DAY.
Vanessa says, "We shower in the morning and we shower at some point during the day or before bed. We both have our own showerheads so we just talk while we're soaping up and doing our hair."
However, she adds "It's not a sexual thing and it's not a romantic thing, it just becomes an intimate thing...I've had some of my most intimate conversations with him in the shower."
Of course you'll have to be rich and have a dual-shower, but hey...
BUY AMERICAN? STEAL AMERICAN!!!
The auto industry may be struggling to keep the people of Michigan at work...but the state is still as loyal as ever to American cars. Not only do the people of Michigan still buy American...they STEAL American, too.

I WILL NOW MOVE TO NYC...
KIM and KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN have moved to New York City for yet another reality show, just as Kim finds herself SINGLE. And she plans on taking advantage of that fact.
She says, "I'm down for some hookups...I have never really given it a shot to be single. I tried and I tried to play that role but I really wasn't single."
GOD BLESS THE USA THAT MILEY IS PARTYING IN...
I've said it for at LEAST 2 years. The next Britney Spears, ladies and gentlemen. Get ready!! It's getting closer!!
Have MILEY CYRUS' parents, TISH and BILLY RAY, lost control of their daughter?
According to the website HollywoodLife.com, the answer is YES.
A so-called "family friend" says, "At first Tish, got upset when people would tell her her daughter was being wild, but now she's realizing it herself.
"We're concerned for her. She's 17 years old, but is the one who makes the money and calls all the shots in the family. No one tells Miley no. And even if they did, she's so charismatic that she'd convince them to change their minds."
The source adds, "She's a sweet girl at heart, but she's starting to push the envelope. Between the fast-paced lifestyle and her new 'image', everyone is saying that it's just a matter of time before she ends up in trouble.
"We don't want her to be the next Lindsay Lohan, but the odds are against her."
WOOO!!!! Bring on the trainwrecks! The hot mess!
GET READY FOR CONAN!!!

"The E.N.D." has been certified Double Platinum...and featured three #1 singles: "I Gotta Feeling", "Boom Boom Pow" and "Imma Be", plus "Rock That Body", and "Meet Me Halfway"

DON'T HIT BAMBI!!!
My friends at State Farm just released the odds of driving into a DEER in every state in the country.
The good news: If you're driving through Hawaii, it's not gonna happen. The bad news: If you're driving through West Virginia, there's a VERY high chance it might.
I remember driving thru Southern Ohio a few years ago in November and literally swerving to avoid the deer parts and guts that were strewn about the freeway!
West Virginia has the worst deer collision odds in the country: Drivers there have a one-in-42 chance of hitting a deer. One in FORTY-TWO. (!!!) In comparison, Hawaii has the best odds, at one in 13,011.
Iowa has the second-worst odds, at one in 67. Michigan is third, at one in 70. I've always seen plenty of deer on vacations in Michigan, especially farther north. South Dakota is fourth, at one in 76. And Montana is fifth, at one in 85.
Most of the low-risk states are in the west, where deer are much less common. After Hawaii, Arizona has the second-lowest odds, at one in 1,788.
Nevada has the third-lowest odds, at one in 1,488. California has the fourth-lowest, at one in 1,046. And Florida has the fifth-lowest, at one in 971.
Ohio, we're above average at 1 in 121.
Overall, across the entire country, the average odds you'll get in your car and hit a deer this fall are about one in 183.
The average cost when a car hits a deer is $3,013. And one very lonely Bambi.
I'll put a pic of the map on my facebook, check it out here: www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage
WOULD YOU DATE A JERSEY SHORE GUY?
On their "reality" show, the "Jersey Shore" guys act like studs...but in real life, most women wouldn't want to date them. Or even sleep with them.
In a survey conducted by Wet...which is a LUBRICANT company...80% of women say they would NOT want to sleep with any of the guys on "Jersey Shore". That includes THE SITUATION, DJ PAULY D, RONNIE and VINNY.
So, why wouldn't they? Most women said they couldn't stand the way the "Jersey Shore" men treated the women they brought on the show.
And 60% of men and women said they wouldn't date a cast member...because they'd be EMBARRASSED to introduce them as their significant other to their family and friends.
5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE SOCIAL NETWORK...
NOTE: There are movie spoilers here, so if you haven't seen it yet and want to, I'd SKIP this story!
#1.) IT'S ONLY *SORT OF* BASED IN REALITY. Facebook wasn't started because Mark Zuckerberg was trying to impress a girl: They made up the part at the beginning of the movie where a girl dumps him. Zuckerberg actually had a girlfriend at the time.
But obviously they had to change that part. Because creating websites just isn't sexy. No one sits around with hot naked chicks writing html code. It's a lonely, isolated, hunched-over-the-keyboard-eating-Slim-Jims experience.
#2.) THE MOVIE FEATURES WRITER AARON SORKIN AT HIS BEST. The script is fast and smart. It's by Aaron Sorkin...the guy who did "The West Wing"...and he's even better here.
#3.) JESSE EISENBERG AND JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE KICK ASS. Jesse Eisenberg...the kid from "Adventureland" and "Zombieland"...is no longer the poor man's Michael Cera. And Justin Timberlake is so good you'll forget it's him. Like I've said before, there's NOTHING that JT doesn't do well!
#4.) TWO TWINS, ONE ACTOR? There are two rich WASP-y twins in the movie...and they're actually played by the same actor, ARMIE HAMMER, using special effects.
What, there weren't any good twin actors available? Are the twins of Hollywood outraged over this? I bet it's like when a girl dyes her hair red to play Annie, and the redheads freak out. Blood will be spilled!
#5.) YOU HAVE TO SEE IT. It's two hours, but they fly by because the story is so captivating. Yeah, it's overdramatized...but they overdramatize it perfectly.

LIL WAYNE IN CONFINEMENT...
LIL WAYNE will serve the last month of his prison sentence in what Rikers officials call, "punitive segregation." Or as we know it...solitary confinement. He'll spend 23 hours a day by himself, separated from the other inmates.
It's his punishment for being caught with "music contraband" earlier this year. He had headphones and a charger for an mp3 player hidden in a potato chip bag in his cell.
Weezy will also have his phone privileges reduced to just one call a week...outside of calls to his lawyer. He also won't be allowed to watch TV, and will have to eat all his meals in his cell.
Wayne will be released on November 4th.
BIGGEST SEX STUDY...EVER!!!!
Researchers at Indiana University's Center for Sexual Health Promotion just released the results of an ENORMOUS sex study. It's actually the largest, most comprehensive American sex study since 1994.
They surveyed 5,865 people, ages 14 to 94, about a ton of sexual topics. The result was 130 pages of charts...which somehow managed to turn the topic of sex into boring math.
After digging through the entire thing to find all the sexiness buried under charts and graphs, here are nine of the most interesting facts from the survey.
#1.) No one touches themselves more frequently than men 25 to 29. In the past month, 68.6% of men that age say they've had their way with themselves.
#2.) No one touches themselves less frequently than women over 70. In the past month, only 11.5% of RANDY female senior citizens have molested themselves. That's about one out of nine, for what it's worth.
#3.) Teenagers are more responsible than adults when it comes to using condoms on random hook-ups. The last time they had casual sex, 84.2% of males 14 to 17 and 88.9% of females in that age group used a condom.
No other age group came even CLOSE to those percentages, which I guess is good and bad. Good that we are educating the kids to be responsible. Bad, because, well...we're hypocrites. For people 18 to 24, that dropped to 46.9% condom usage during casual sex for men and 31% for women.
#4.) People in relationships go at themselves a lot. Across all ages except 70 and over, about HALF of people of both genders who are in relationships had their way with themselves at least once in the past 90 days.
#5.) People in relationships have more oral than single people. Ignore the stereotypes that say oral ENDS once you're in a relationship. In every case, couples gave and received oral more than single people the same age.
#6.) Grandparents have backdoor relations too. 1.4% of married people age 70 and up had the dirtiest kind of sex in the past 90 days.
#7.) Backdoor relations are getting more popular. Compared to a similar study from 1992, about twice as many men and women admit that they've gone in through the out door in their lifetime.
#8.) People who have same sex relations don't always think of themselves as gay. In the survey, 7% of women and 8% of men identified themselves as gay, lesbian or bisexual.
But far more had admitted to having some kind of same sex contact in their lives. For example, almost 11% of men 20 to 24 say they've RECEIVED in the naughty way from another man . . . but many of them identify themselves as hetero.
#9.) Men overestimate women's climaxes. About 85% of men say that the last time they had sex with a woman, she reached her moment of climax. Only 64% of women say they got there in their last sexual encounter.

BRUNO GETS CHARGED...
BRUNO MARS was officially charged with one felony count of "possession of a controlled substance" on Friday. The "controlled substance" was cocaine.
He was busted with a baggie containing 2.6 grams of cocaine in Las Vegas last month...after a bathroom attendant ratted him out. (The guy told security that he thought someone was doing drugs in one of the stalls.)
Bruno allegedly copped to having cocaine...telling police that he, "did a foolish thing and has never used drugs before."
If convicted, Bruno is looking at up to four years in jail and a $5,000 fine. But who knows? PARIS HILTON got off with a year of probation, a fine and some community service.
SINGER MARIO ARRESTED...
R&B singer (he had the big song "Let Me Love You" about 5 or 6 years ago) and former "Dancing With the Stars" contestant MARIO was arrested in Baltimore on Friday...for allegedly assaulting his mother, Shawntia Hardaway.
Police were called to the apartment that Mario and Shawntia share at about 1:00 A.M. Friday morning. She told them that he pushed her and was throwing and damaging property.
Cops saw a broken china cabinet and mirror, a hole punched through a closet door and other damages at the apartment.
A police spokesman said, "It looks like it was between him and his mother. He allegedly shoved his mother against the wall, she hit her head, it looks like he then became verbally abusive.
"She feared for her safety, and police were contacted."
He also, "used his hands and forearms and pushed her in the chest and shoulder area causing minor pain and discomfort."
Shawntia also said that Mario attacked her earlier in the week, pushing her, quote, "eight feet into a living room wall."
Mario was booked on a second-degree misdemeanor assault charge, and released on $50,000 bond.
Mario's people say the incident was directly related to Shawntia's well-documented HEROIN PROBLEM.
His attorney says, quote, "[This is] an unfortunate incident between a loving son and a mother who continues to struggle with a devastating addiction.
"Anyone who has waged the battle to save loved ones from the forces of drugs knows the irrational behavior that almost always accompanies their actions. Despite the allegations, Mario remains committed to supporting his mother."
Mario actually took a break from his career to help his mom kick drugs. It was chronicled by MTV for a 2007 documentary called "I Won't Love You to Death: The Story of Mario and His Mom".
THE SECRET?
People...THIS is how you keep a relationship fresh: After four years together, NICK LACHEY and VANESSA MINNILLO take two showers together PER DAY.
Vanessa says, "We shower in the morning and we shower at some point during the day or before bed. We both have our own showerheads so we just talk while we're soaping up and doing our hair."
However, she adds "It's not a sexual thing and it's not a romantic thing, it just becomes an intimate thing...I've had some of my most intimate conversations with him in the shower."
Of course you'll have to be rich and have a dual-shower, but hey...
BUY AMERICAN? STEAL AMERICAN!!!
The auto industry may be struggling to keep the people of Michigan at work...but the state is still as loyal as ever to American cars. Not only do the people of Michigan still buy American...they STEAL American, too.
According to the Michigan Auto Theft Prevention Authority, last year, ALL TEN of the most stolen cars in the state were American.
Nine of them were Chryslers, and one was a Ford.
The 2000 Dodge Caravan and the 1999 Dodge Caravan were the top two most stolen vehicles. Both are made by Chrysler.
The rest of the top 10 are: The 2000 Dodge Intrepid, 1998 Dodge Caravan, 1996 Dodge Caravan, 1999 Dodge Intrepid, 2000 Jeep Cherokee, 1997 Dodge Caravan, 2002 Dodge Intrepid, and 1997 Ford Taurus.
