the illinois senator and presidential hopeful called upon robert deniro to speak on his behalf at a rally in new jersey.
deniro left the stage immediately after threating everyone with their life if obama doesn't win the garden state.

tyra banks gives us another captivating moment...
this time, banks and a slew of audience members rips their jeans off for the cameras. if you don't like seeing women with large thighs in their panties - consider yourself warned...

britney's court hearing is over...
thanks to tmz - here's the low down...
Jamie Spears is still the co-conservator of Britney's estate, as is Andrew Wallet.
The Commissioner did not give the conservators the power to fire Trope and Trope, Brit's divorce lawyers.
The Commissioner said, based on the restraining order, Sam Lutfi can have no contact whatsoever with Britney -- including e-mails, phone contact, etc.
The Commish extended the conservatorship to Valentine's Day.
The Commissioner said Adam Streisand had no legal basis for claiming he's Britney's new lawyer.
There will be a hearing at some point to determine just how mentally competent Britney is.
interesting stuff... definitely a victory for unfitney's parents, and society as a whole. atleast until valentine's day, britney is in good hands like all state.
tmz also reported earlier that britney spears's net worth is $40 million, according to her "lawyer" adam streisand.
now we know where britney gets it from...
unfortunately, this picture only proves the heredity of unfitney's starbucks addiction, and not the craziness that is her.
beckham kicks the spice girls to the curb...
the full story is here... clearly this is the reason their tour is ending at the end of the month in toronto...
atleast you didn't see this until after the fact...
a list of some common super bowl sunday favorites, and what it would take to work their calories out of existence (source: the diet's detective's count down and the-food-spot)...
(all estimates are based on a 155-pound person)
Two slices of stuffed pizza with the works = 197 minutes cleaning the STADIUM after the game
Having two slices of Pizza Hut’s Large Stuffed Crust Pizza means you’re looking at more than 800 calories. That word “stuffed” should give you a clue.
Tip: Get thin-crust pizza with veggies and eat it for lunch, instead of a halftime snack.
A handful of Doritos = 43 touchdown dances in the end zone
Chips are pretty expensive, calorically. A handful of Cooler Ranch Doritos: 140 calories.
Tip: Eat one at a time, and don’t put out huge bowls of them – make it so you have to get up each time you want more than six chips.
Five pretzels = 15 Minutes Looking for Your Car After the Game
Yes, five regular pretzels out of a bag are about 60 calories. For some reason people think pretzels are healthful. They don’t have fat, but they also have no nutritional value.
Tip: Avoid pretzels loaded with cheese — wow, are they high in calories.
Four beers = 64 MINUTES OF CLIMBING STADIUM STAIRS
Yes, beer has calories: about 150 for 12 ounces.
Tip: There are some great light beers out there. Do a taste test before the game.
Part of a giant Italian sub = 138½ MINUTES PERFORMING IN A MARCHING BAND
A 6-inch sub with salami, pepperoni, ham, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise is about 650 calories. Tip: Go for low-fat cheese and skip the mayo.
Five Buffalo chicken wings = 102 minutes of refereeing the game
The wings are fried, and that blue cheese dressing can be caloric suicide. Just five wings with 3 tablespoons of blue cheese dressing: 599 calories.
Tip: Use hot sauce instead of the blue cheese. Make the wings yourself. Go skinless, and bake them instead of frying. With all that football action, you won't notice the difference.
Half order of baby back ribs = 73 MINUTES OF CHEERLEADING
Ribs are good, but they’re packed with calories. They’re fatty, and the sauce is sugary. And don’t kid yourself, cheerleading is serious, hard work.
Tip: Make them yourself. Trim all fat before and after cooking, and – instead of coating with an excessive amount of sauce beforehand – partially cook them loaded with seasonings, brush them lightly with sauce and then finishing cooking.
Eight Potato chips with dip = biking to the game from your South Beach hotel
It’s about 18 miles to Dolphin Stadium, which is what it would take to burn off the chips and dip. Each chip is 14-15 calories. For each dip of Ruffles French Onion Dip add another 55 to 60 calories. Grand total: 600 calories.
Tip: Try a low-calorie dip (2 tablespoons: 44 calories) or make your own with nonfat yogurt or mayo.
A few Nachos = 97 minutes BEING THE TEAM MASCOT
Each chip has about 14 calories. Now add cheese, beans and ground beef, and just six nachos are about 569 calories — not to mention the sour cream and guacamole for another 150 calories.
Tip: Make the nachos with low-fat cheese and black beans, not refried. Use salsa and baked chips and you’ll be even better off.
Two handfuls of Chex Mix = 30 MINUTES JUMPING UP AND DOWN AFTER YOUR TEAM SCORES
At 280 calories, 1 ounce of this mix is still high in calories even though it’s lower in fat than chips. Tip: Don’t eat it by the handful, or skip it and go for some low-cal microwave popcorn instead. Even better, make it air-popped and use a margarine spray.
Baked ziti = PLAYING PRO FOOTBALL FOR 39½ MINUTES
This is basically pasta with lots of cheese and sauce. It’s the cheese that makes it so high in calories: 420 calories for 6 ounces.
Tip: Have it as a meal, not just a snack. Try making it with low-fat mozzarella and lower-calorie sauce.
Two pieces of fried chicken = DOING "THE WAVE” 3,220 TIMES
One deep-fried chicken breast and one thigh are about 660 calories.
Tip: Make your own chicken with breading. Go skinless and bake it instead of frying.
A bowl of chili = RUNNING 100 FOOTBALL FIELDS
A 16-ounce bowl of chili packed with beef and beans comes to about 500 calories. A few tablespoons of sour cream and some shredded cheese add 150 calories more, for a grand total of 650 calories.
Tip: Use ground sirloin or white-meat turkey, or make it vegetarian. Skip the sour cream and cheese, or go for no- or low-fat versions.
Three tortilla chips topped with 7-layer dip = 15.5 MINUTES CLIMBING THE STADIUM STAIRS
This is a serious dip with refried beans, olives, guacamole, sour cream and cheese, and it costs about 90 to 105 calories (30 to 35 calories per tablespoon) with an additional 42 calories for three chips. The grand total: 147 calories.
Tip: If you make the dip, use low-fat cheese and sour cream and black beans, not refried. Or you could switch to salsa: 2 tablespoons have only about 15 calories. Also, go for light or baked chips instead of fried.
Two handfuls of potato chips = RUNNING 45 FOOTBALL FIELDS
Each handful is about an ounce, so two handfuls of chips have about 300 calories. Oh, and if you add just 2 tablespoons of onion dip (60 calories), you'll be running another nine football fields.
Tip: Make homemade pita chips with margarine spray, or try Low Fat Kettle Chips and save more than a few football fields. Use non-fat yogurt instead of sour cream to mix up the dip.

i am in favor for super bowl monday.
don't get me wrong, i didn't party too hard last night. i've drank and eaten much more during and after yankees victories (11 days til pitchers and catchers report!). still, it's the super bowl. and for the first time in three years, i didn't have to work through it.
why wouldn't i take full advantage of this situation?
marino and i headed inside the woodlands. besides the giants fans among us, there were the infamous buffalo bites, dj godfather's homemade (and free) pizza, and of course, dollar drinks from 7-9.
furthermore (and maybe the best part of the entire deal) - no mess to clean up afterwards.
so we cheered and jeered as the giants and patriots battled, and laughed in between at some of the commercials, all of which can be viewed here.
a few of my personal favorites can be viewed below...
Justin Timberlake's PEPSI Superbowl Commercial
Diet Pepsi Max Super Bowl Ad: Wake Up People Ginseng & Caffeine
Doritos Super Bowl Commercial: Giant Mouse Trap
Gatorade G2 Super Bowl Commercial: Derek Jeter
for the most part, this year's super bowl commercials were entertaining.
although, for everyone sitting in the streamside, we only needed to see this to make our nights...
and with that, a great start to new england's sports year. now, on to the point of this post.
go here, and sign the petition. who wouldn't be in favor of a national holiday the day after the super bowl?

ryan cabrera and i...
(the following is an excerpt of "the ralphie report" - which will be printed in its entirety in this week's copy of the weekender.)
Forget “Slim Shady” – will the real Ryan Cabrera please stand up?
Just two and a half years ago, Cabrera lived THE life – recording for a major record label, dating sexy starlets, traveling the sphere, and selling millions of CDs.
But the 25 year-old musician exited stage right from that lifestyle after separating with Atlantic Records. Cabrera traded his trademark dirty blond spikes for long, dark, curly strands. Gone are the preppy collars and trendy shoes, in are the rock star boots, top hats, and skinny jeans. And say goodbye to long sleeves – the solo artist loves showing off his tats.
“I’m not with the same record label anymore, end of story,” an almost-relieved Cabrera told me Monday inside The Woodlands Inn and Resort. “I finally got to do what I wanted to do.”
Cabrera is in the midst of a three-month trek across the country, stopping at radio stations to garner support for his new CD, The Moon Under Water, which hits shelves in April. The first single, a catchy mid-tempo track entitled Say, is impacting radio now.
Monday, the former major label act performed an acoustic set inside The Woodlands Streamside Band Area and offered 97 BHT listeners a chance to hear tracks from his soon-to-be-released CD – an LP that Cabrera invested more than time into.
“I spent my own money putting it together,” he admits. “It’s on my new label… Joe (Simpson) is helping me get it off the ground.”
Yes, that Joe Simpson. Father of Jessica and Ashlee – or as you may know the latter – Ryan’s ex.
“(Simpson as his manager) isn’t awkward,” Cabrera insists. “It’s all business.”
While Ryan dates Riley Keough, daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and granddaughter of Elvis – Ashlee now lip-syncs love songs to Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz. Meanwhile Jessica is tied up in some capacity with Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo – a person Cabrera calls “his boy.”
No, the Dallas-born singer did not leave his manager messages instructing Jess to leave the QB alone.
“It’s just funny how people, you know, they want a story. Tony’s such an amazing quarterback, but all (the media) wants to talk about is that.”
He sees through the major record labels – the fake women – and the media. Formerly molded into a stereotypical pop star, it seems the real Ryan Cabrera may be among us after all, even if he took a few years to arrive.

paris : britney's a "great mother."
paris hilton stoops to a new stupidity level - claiming britney's "a great mother," while urging everyone to - c'mon chris crocker say it with me - "leave her alone."
jack : " i warned him."
from one joker to another, with no punch line in between - jack nicholson reportedly said, "i warned him," when hearing of heath ledger's passing. the 70-year old veteran made the comment while in europe.

TMZ's Michael Hundgen with Ralphie Aversa on Heath Ledger's death.

TMZ's Michael Hundgen called in to "The Ralphie Radio Show" on Tuesday night (01.22) with breaking news regarding the death of Heath Ledger. The Grammy-nominated actor was found dead in the bed of his apartment Tuesday afternoon. Ledger may best be known for his co-starring role in the 2005 film, "Brokeback Mountain." Heath Ledger is survived by his parents and a 2-year old daughter. The actor was seperated from her mother, Michelle Williams.
Heath Ledger was 28 years old.
1.22.2008
heath ledger is dead.
UPDATE: tmz reports that pills were found all around his bed. furthermore, the entertainment news site says police believe the death was accidental.
tmz retracted a story that the apartment authorities found the actor in belonged to mary-kate olsen.
as i wrote at the bottom of this thread... ugly details to follow... and i'm sure we're not done.
the ap writes...
"Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday at a downtown Manhattan residence, and police said drugs may have been a factor. He was 28. NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Ledger had an appointment for a massage at the Manhattan apartment believed to be his home. The housekeeper who went to let him know the masseuse had arrived found him dead at 3:26 p.m.
The Australian-born actor was nominated for an Oscar for "Brokeback Mountain," where he met his wife, actress Michelle Williams, in 2005. Ledger and Williams had lived in Brooklyn and had a daughter, Matilda, until they split up last year."
this all doesn't sound right. stay tuned for the ugly details...
and will the new batman movie be impacted by this? ledger played the joker.

ari gold to advise dita von teese, in bed.
from the ny post...
"…as he browsed at Kari Feinstein’s suite at Social Hollywood in LA last week, [Jeremy Piven] was forced to come clean about the identity of his “brunette and curvy” lady friend because he didn’t know her size. He finally told the clerk the dresses were for [Dita] Von Teese…Von Teese’s lawyer, Keith Fink, told us Piven has seen her performance and he shyly said hello to her when he ran into her at an LA newsstand right before he bought the dresses. “She is single, and she’s not dating, so he should step up to the plate because there’s a lot of guys interested,” said Fink."
boom.
tom cruise and will smith - the remix.
did you see that scientologist video featuring tom cruise? anywho - the remix is pretty dope, check it out!
rachel ray hates dunkin' donuts too.
according to grub street, rachel ray reportedly SPIT OUT dunkin donuts coffee while filming a commercial, exclaiming, "THIS IS SH*T." she then demanded her coffee - which happened to be starbucks.
i'm not sure if rachel ray's annoyningness dropped 10 points because she knows what she's hawking is garbage, or raised 10 points - because she knows what she's hawking is garbage.
now if you'll excuse me, i'm going to sip on my skinny latte.

the hat that solicited the randomness.
so this hat garnered a random compliment from a starbucks drive-thru attendant, who wasn't even serving me.
bought it saturday at the mall at steamtown. both the gf and i are in agreement with its "flyness."
maybe daughtry's right about idol...
on the heals of arguably one of the more popular alum's criticism of american idol - tv week reports that last night's ai premiere turned in the lowest premiere ratings since 2004.
ouch.
ouch.

sunday night, friday's on kidder, and lifehouse...
the following is an excerpt from "the ralphie report" that will be printed this wednesday in the weekender.
---
Thank goodness for BlackBerry’s, Google, and Sunday nights in Wilkes-Barre.
Afternoon-ace A.J., Midday-mogul Marino, and I all ventured to T.G.I. Friday’s on Kidder Street. Marino and I sought out reduced prices on spirits and greasy appetizers. In the act, we simply coaxed A.J. into joining in.
The three of us bantered about a number of subjects, with Monday’s acoustic performance of Lifehouse inside The Mall at Steamtown dominating the discussion. Coincidentally enough, we heard First Time blaring over the bar speakers as we discussed the Malibu, California-based band.
Immediately after that – the group’s latest track – Whatever It Takes – played throughout Friday’s. I observe two guys on my right, whose attire doesn’t exactly scream, “NEPA.”
My BHT cohorts vehemently deny that there’s any possibility rock stars are drinking amongst us. I dissent, and decide to end the matter in a twenty-first century manner.
Google Image Search via BlackBerry led us to Bassist Bryce Soderberg and Drummer Rick Woolstenhulme, Jr., who were flattered we recognized them. The men comprise two-thirds of Lifehouse - lead singer and guitarist Jason Wade decided to rest in his hotel room.
For the record – national recording acts play their own music on jukeboxes in bars.
A couple rounds, boneless wings, and games of music trivia later – Rick retired to bed, while Bryce rolled with us to Mohegan Sun – offering up the “rockstar” moment of the night.
“Wait, I thought I was betting $10, not $50. Oh well,” the bassist nonchalantly stated in between hands of video Blackjack.
Bryce confessed earlier in the night that he and Colbie Caillat engaged in a summer fling while the two acts toured with headliner Goo Goo Dolls. According to Soderberg, Caillat broke his heart.
I guess the former tanning salon attendant doesn’t leave everyone feeling Bubbly.

In the back of a cab... Driver is rockin' a hardcore mullet. He's also in possession of the most conservative cabbie driving skills ever.
Passing madison square garden right now. Impressive.

feliz cumpleanos dave matthews.
the guitarist/singer turns 41 today. i don't think "over 40" when i think of matthews, but i've been known to be wrong on occasion. and the most viewed dmb music video is...
happy belated birthday elvis presley.
the "king" would've been 77 yesterday. he passed away at age 42.
the intervention of dr. phil...
a spokesperson for britney spears's parents spoke with meredith vieira this morning on the today show. the popwreck's rents aren't thrilled about all of dr. phil's "public statements"...
ralphie and the red cross - mad tight now yo.
no, i did not give blood. if you remember, i haven't slept much, and consequently don't feel well. combined with the fact that tonight i'll be here long after my midnight signoff, and i didn't think needles and losing blood were factors needed in the forecast.
but here's a few pictures from my perspective. i will be giving blood in the near future. and you should too. afterall, you could save three lives with one donation.

the top 10 WORST dressed...
posh spice tops blackwell's list this year, and this picture isn't helping her case...
the entire rundown of those should not be dressing themselves can be seen here.
not too much going on...
it ended up being a convienient day to stroll in a little tardy to the bht world headquarters, as there isn't too much going on - period. after throwing in a 15-hour haul yesterday, working on a top-secret project that we hope to announce later in the week, i decided to simply take it easy and catch a little shut eye before tonight's show.
but what really happened? for starters, no sheep were counted. i ended up with a nap at best. i didn't mind too much, because my sleep schedule spoils me these days compared to my ruckus college schedule. also - there's excellent morning tv. i flip between the today show, morning joe, and mike & mike. as if my attention span wasn't tested enough, i also called the gf, keeping her company while en route to her job.
later in the day i finally mustered up strength to jog throughout downtown wilkes-barre. there certainly was no lack of motivation - besides my usual reasons of staying slim and healthy, weather.com informed me that we were approaching a new high today. at the time of my jog, downtown clocked in at a balmy 65 degrees.
for once - my four mile run was uneventful. whenever i sprint through public square and over the market street bridge, i encounter atleast one heckler. "NICE SHORTS!" "WOOOOOOO!" and of course, who can forget the original, "RUN FOREST RUN!"
it doesn't bother me. when you work in entertainment, you develop relatively tough skin (despite everyone commenting on my soft hands). still, it doesn't go unnoticed or unnoted.
but you really couldn't ask for a better january 8... no hecklers, no snow, and i still have a job.
not that i'm in jeopardy of losing it - but hey, it's the entertainment business right?
