kongrats to kanye!

#1 album... #1 song... but can he be #1 on tonight's top 8@8?

you'll decide. meanwhile, watch stronger, 'cause the video is tight (and my girl cassie stars in it)...

the hot mess that is...

britney spears of course. who clearly has nothing better to do than seek out ice cream for that fit bod of hers at a liquor store.

thanks to tmz for the footage. because clearly a liquor store, ice cream, and britney go down smooth... all the time.

tonight on the ralphie radio show...

“I remember taking LSD before I went to Disneyland. I started thinking about Mickey Mouse being a short, middle-aged man in a costume who hates life. Those drugs can be dangerous if you don’t go into it positively - I gave them up long ago.”

red sox fans have no humor.

former swb yankee and current new york outfielder shelley duncan took time sunday to sign autographs for fans at fenway park in boston, regardless of whether they supported the bronx bombers or not. the jovial duncan also joked with a few of the autograph-seekers.

but the joke backfired.

below is the picture of a ten-year old who received an autograph from duncan.

his parents aren't smiling either. i, however, am grinning from ear to ear.

gimme - more brit.

we're siding with our friends at tmz on this one.

entertainment tonight reported that there's a possible contract "hit" on kevin federline. maybe by brit, maybe not. i checked with tony, but news hadn't spread to the bada bing about this.

(shakes head in dismay).

tmz reports that the LAPD investigated, and found no such evidence to believe this is true. case closed.

back to your regularly scheduled blogging.

and it gets worse...

from celebTV.com...

"A source close to Britney Spears tells CelebTV.com the singer was dropped on Monday by her management team, The Firm.

Jeff Kwatinetz of The Firm was hired by Spears in August to help revive her flagging career. He apparently split from the singer due to her recent erratic behavior.

The source close to Spears tells CelebTV.com the change in management may affect the scheduled November 13 release of her new album.

When contacted by CelebTV.com, Kwatinetz referred us to Spears' publicist, Wendy Washington. We did not hear back from Washington by our deadline."

britney spears's life cannot get more dramatic... and then, something worse happens to her.

karma?

monday shmunday.

no, the title isn't a new breakfast sandwich at sheetz, although my schmagel this morning was deelish. just feels like a really lazy monday here in the nepa.

i went to bed a little after 6 am this morning, and woke up before 4 pm. weird doesn't even begin to explain my internal clock and sleeping patterns. but despite the amount of sleep i received, i still feel a little groggy at 6:52. a lack of caffeine could be the issue, and i'll fix that during my first hour of the show with a trip to the coffee machine outside the studio.

of course, many believe monday is simply an extension of the weekend. the past couple days have been spent eating in, drinking out, and napping throughout the day. the gf came to wilkes barre to visit - and after the week each of us had - we decided to just take it easy and enjoy the finer things in life... rest, light beer, red robin burgers, januzzi's pizza, and a mix of boston college, yankees, and bills games on the television.

speaking of which - how amazing was this last night?

what? you missed it because you wanted to see ryan seacrest host the emmy's? boo.

and speaking of the emmy's, how funny was this?

anywho, lots of fun stuff to give away on tonight's show. off i go, with more updates to come throughout the night.

welp...


yup, not everyone thinks britney sucks.

more awards... the honesty award to...

kid rock, who spoke about the vma's on a morning show in san diego earlier...

On Britney
Kid Rock: How does MTV do that, with like, is there some sort of special editing or camera filters they use, how do they make like Britney Spears look overweight and like she’s lip-synching like that? That was incredible.

On Kanye….
Kid: And then obviously with Kanye West not winning the award, we know Bush doesn’t like black people, apparently MTV doesn’t either. I was walking through the press line you know and he came storming through like Norman, like hey you know, like it was D-Day or something. I’m like calm down man, it’s just a kind of corny award show.

he also spoke about his fight with tommy lee - but really who cares?

hottest student in the world is...

shakira?

turns out the columbian cutie is taking classes at ucla? btw - unless you can read spanish, don't bother clicking the link.

and i thought my attention span was bad while in class at syracuse university.

where were you?

it is one question that everyone has the answer to.

"Where were you when you first heard about the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001? "

third period of the day during my junior year of high school was always interesting, to say the least. the class was chemistry, taught by a guy named greg garzon. mr. garzon personified the word "character." he wasn't your stereotypical chem teacher, one who would scurry about in a long white jacket with goggles seemingly glued to his/her eyes. but garzon did know how to befuddle his students and at times, get a little rise out of them.

seriously though, greg garzon is another blog posting.

nonetheless, that tuesday, neither the lecture nor garzon could snag my attention. when i attended class in high school, my attention-span would rarely if ever follow long, much less stay for the entire period. certainly i was no stranger to daydream-land.

but i pulled a u-turn out of there when sister joyce spoke over the loudspeaker (i went to a catholic, co-ed high school). sister announced to the school that a plane had hit the world trade center. details were still unknown, but to please keep those who have been injured and killed, as well as their families and loved ones, in our prayers. the school then recited a hail mary.

by the time i reached fifth period, the second plane had collided with the other major tower of the wtc. coincidently enough, it was history class. our teacher, mrs. bryk, allowed us to watch cbs for updates.

i'll never forget the first time i witnessed footage of that second plane hitting. the entire scene looked surreal - straight out of a dramatic film. if only that was the case.

all of the specifics unfolded within' the next 24 hours - the two other sites where planes crashed, the hijackings, the terrorism-connection, the intention to hit the white house.

president bush gave, in my opinion, one of his most important and influential speeches of his term that night on national television. his reassurance that america would flourish, and seek out those responsible, struck a cord with all of us - who were so desperately searching for answers.

as i watched peter jennings so eloquently deliver one of his finest newscasts (read: day-long shift) as a broadcaster, i channeled my fear, anger, anxiety, and hope through my most familiar channel.

i can officially say that it was the events on september 11th that led me to pursue an interest in creative and digital video editing. my first two videos were produced within 48 hours of the attacks. about a year later, i worked on a piece that to this day, brings about goosebumps.

almost as bad as brit...

Cop forgets national anthem

pathetic.

the title does not describe this year's mtv video music awards, which shy of the opening act, was innovative and refreshing to say the least.

britney spears, however, is a disaster. the performance is below, comment as you wish.
