waiting on drake...


i woke up early in anticipation. i arrived at the station with an inordinate amount of time before my show. i prepped and learned many things about the person that i didn't originally know.

did you know drake bell appeared in jerry mcguire at age 10?

neither did i. but i leaned of this and other facts before four, when drake was supposed to call into the bht studios and tape an interview to air later tonight.

it's 6:12 as i type this. no drake. apparently he's in los angeles shooting a movie and is stuck on set. bummer.

i'll give you more updates as i find them out. in the meantime, listen tonight to win drake bell breakfast passes.

what drake actually eats for breakfast to come soon...

more awkwardness courtesy of tyra with joel madden.


hear clips from this tonight on the show... and scroll five minutes in to see joel turn red after being asked if he plans on marrying nicole richie...

fiddy gettin' shady in croatia...

so a journalist walks into 50 cent's dressing room, and well, let's just say no one informed 50 cent...

any idea what he could be snorting in the background there?

amy winehouse - should we feel bad for her?


the paps caught her on the street at 5am screaming for help. at one point earlier this year, everyone thought amy winehouse was poised to be this year's biggest breakout star.

instead, she's turned herself into one of this year's biggest disasters/headlines.

lilo eats turkey, dumps bf...

snoop bites t-pain...

love the song/video - but you know music is getting ugly when a living legend is stealing from t-pain. whatevs.

amazing deals!


saved a ton of money monday. and no, i didn't switch my car insurance to geico.

all the credit is due to this website that gathers the best on-line deals/coupons to one place. i spoke with co-founder brad wilson about it on wednesday night.

if you plan on completing your holiday shopping on-line, plan on heading to bradsdeals.com...
- part 1 : what bradsdeals.com is.

- part 2 : the extinction of malls/really cheap diamonds.

soulja boy and perez team up...

looks like perezito got his hands on soulja boy's sunglasses... hey soulja boy - what are youuuuu wearing here? (photo credit: buzzfoto)

hogan knows nothing good right now...

could it get any worse for the hogans? brooke's career isn't taking off. nick is a criminal. hulk and linda are getting divorced (or atleast, we finally found out about it).

let's just pile more on... the st. petersburg times released the 911 tape of the nick hogan accident. click here to listen.

update: more bad news. brooke hogan's gained a considerable amount of weight.

coming soon: new unfitney video...

britney spears's next song-to-radio (or as us radio people call it, her next "single") will be "pieces of me." i think there are better songs on the cd, such as "hot as ice," but i don't work for jive.

thankfully.

turns out the next california disaster that is britney's video shoots will take place tomorrow. while many artists dedicate days to their music videos - the mother of two will spend a whole two hours on set. if that.

us weekly with more details here.

tyra will almost take it all off in bed...

even supermodels are insecure. but apparently for tyra banks, it's what she doesn't have on her body, not what is already there.

while tyra is confident with her body, she lacks confidence in her hair. to the point where she will not take off her wig in bed - even if she's with a guy.

read the story here.

don't worry, still here...

sorry for going m.i.a. during the holiday vacation. things became extremely hectic around here, and then i headed home to niagara falls to spend thanksgiving with the family. i also partook in my first black friday since my days of collecting kenner starting lineups as a kid. i then one-up'd myself, shopping through websites today in my inaugural "cyber monday."

for the record, i enjoyed carusing e-store fronts at noon from the comfort of my own apartment much more than waking up at 7am to a frozen-over western new york with stores sold out of any decent deals.

despite this - i am proud to say that i am closing in on a personal-record for completing christmas shopping. hopefully i didn't just jinx myself.

right before i left, the people in clarks summit gave me something to be very thankful for - charity. street teamer jason and i drove up to gerrity's in clarks summit to participate in a little "celebrity bagging." basically, we bag your groceries. you tip us. all money is donated directly to the weinberg regional food bank.

jason and i raised more money in clarks summit than at any other bht celebrity bagging stop. so thank you.

hope you enjoyed your time with friends and family - along with all of the amazing food. now to your frivolous news....

the not-so-odd couple...

a little more believable than ne-yo/hayden... it's chris brown and melody from pdc. but still, if i'm chris brown, and i can have almost everyone, i'm not snagging a d-list pussycat doll.

maybe that explains his embarassement/her excitement in this photo? (photo credit: buzz foto)

the odd couple...

ne-yo and hayden panettiere? so jealous of the crooner/writer. guess he's getting over kells dropping him from the "double up" tour real quick! (photo credit: buzz foto)

cmon avril...

so perez hilton posted this picture of avril from the ama's, along with a story about the lack of ticket sales for her upcoming tour that kicks off this march.

i guess he got too caught up in avril failing yet again to realize this...
does avril's hickey turn you on?

kanye gets soulful in belgium.

take six minutes and watch this video. it's from kanye's sunday night performance in belgium. after speaking for a few minutes on the passing of his mother, and his reasoning for continuing to tour overseas, west pays a touching musical tribute to his late mom, dr. donda west.

11.19.2007

soulja boy pee 'em.

when soulja boy isn't supersoaking that, well, you know... he's supersoaking off of hotel balconies. look out below!

look out justin timberlake...

our favorite former co-worker deafgeoff puts the remix on a saturday night live classic...

kanye's breakdown

just in case you missed this from kanye's show in paris... most of these clips on youtube have been removed by west's record label... dr. donda west will be laid to rest tomorrow in oklahoma city.

playoffs under the lights!

friday night sent me to wyoming area - where the warriors battled our friends from riverside (and also jenn starr of morning show fame's alma mater).

the playoff game also marked the debut of the bht thunder sticks - complete with bht logo and the logos of kanye west and fall out boyeeee! (mucho gracias to idjmg).

number of technological issues - cameras dying, other cameras/phones being used. we have video of the warriors doing the superman... as soon as i can save it off of verizon's site...





wilkes-barre holiday parade!

a little tired - and a little delayed (our section didn't begin to process until almost an hour after we were supposed to.

nonetheless - i found ways to pass the time... quick dog at abe's, impromtu meet and greet with santa... chit-chat with the co-workers...

the holiday-spirited day ended on a good note thanks for the cheer spread by the... wilkes-barians?
