jaime lynn madness.

from msnbc to tmz, seems as if jaime lynn spears has finally stepped out of the shadow of her older sister. of course, the 16 year-old had to get knocked up to accomplish such a feat - but hey, gotta play to win!

anyways, here's the latest... yes, brit knows, and she's not happy that she wasn't in the loop... ok! magazine will not pay jaime lynn for the cover story - but the magazine will pay her $1 million for the first baby photos... as if the popwreck known as unfitney wasn't a big enough reason, mother lynne finally scrapped her plans to write a parenting advise book... mr. spears isn't happy about any of this... the 19 year-old father's grandparents are thrilled.

phew.

btw - not sure why i finally watched this on tmz, but even if you beat me to the punch, freakin' punch again, HILARIOUS.

NOTE: if the video doesn't work, watch it here.

another spears does it again...

lynne spears sure wins the "world's toughest mothering job award."

the trials and tribulations with her daughter britney are well documented.

now it's time for unfitney to drive out of the spotlight and back to the gas station. turns out 16-year old jaime lynn is pregnant.

mother and teen mother-to-be confirmed the pregnancy to ok! magazine in an exclusive interview.

according to tmz, older sis brit isn't happy. because clearly, she has A LOT of room to talk.

the magazine hits stores tomorrow.

also tomorrow - michael hundgen from tmz on the ralphie radio show with the latest on the spears sisters and the pregnancy of a one lily allen.

happy birthday brad pitt!

fast forward to 1:40... mr. jolie turns 44 today.

momma shady steps from the shadows...

this just in - EVERYONE gets a book deal.

DO YOU still have time? yes!

of course tonight is "do you tuesday" - with the question, "DO YOU have more christmas shopping to do?"

if the answer is yes, don't fret, it can still be completed on-line. brad wilson from bradsdeals.com just sent me this e-mail...

"We are aggregating the Christmas shipping deadlines for all the online stores. A few, including the cataloger Brookstone and the popular shoe store Zappos, will actually let you order on Sunday 12/23 for overnight delivery Monday 12/24. I’ve never heard of Sunday shipping until this year. Many more (Amazon, Nordstrom.com, Blue Nile, HP, Pottery Barn) will accept orders on Saturday 12/22 for delivery on Monday 12/24. Here is a link to the sortable list we have put together:

http://www.bradsdeals.com/shipping-deadlines.cfm

Thought this might be interesting since most people aren’t aware of how late they can shop online (and take advantage of the inherent advantages of doing so – lower prices, coupon codes, no sales tax, warmth)."

britney video isn't as bad as you'd think...

here it is - piece of me...

thanks for the memories jessica simpson...

note to all star quarterbacks - DO NOT bring your hot blond girlfriend to your game. she WILL mess things up. jessica simpson causes dallas cowboys qb tony romo to lose his cool in the end zone as the cowboys lose and romo plays one of the worst games of his career!

this is too funny...

The marketing geniuses that comprise 97 BHT have decided to allow me, Ralphie, to host two special screenings of "A Christmas Story" this Thursday at the Endless Mountains Movie Theater in Dickson City - Business Route 6 next to K-Mart. There will be two showings at 5 and 7 PM - and admission is only $4!

a question for jessica alba...

does this baby have a high risk of contracting herpes from you?

welp, at least the alledged reason why wasn't a player named as on the joice in today's mitchell report...

randomness from the panera.

greetings.

i feel like it's been too long since i've had a post that really didn't serve a single purpose - but instead kind of touched a number of different thoughts. now that i'm nessled into a comfy panera booth, let me welcome you inside my deep, inner thoughts...

- this really isn't that much snow. how come at noon i couldn't drive half of the speed limit ANYWHERE? 81, 309, 115, wilkes-barre blvd... killin' me smalls!

- in case you're wondering what my current panera office configuration is... half greek salad, bowl of low-fat chicken noodle, bottle of water - and of course the lapteeze and blackbleeze!

- of course i'd be remiss if i didn't mention the new bht lineup - with kidd kraddick from 5a-10a, marino til 3 while you work, a.j. in the afternoon til 7, and myself til midnight. how pimp right?

- once again big thanks to everyone who came out to see drake bell last weekend. more of your photos will be posted soon here.

- NO - THE JONAS BROTHERS ARE NOT COMING TO THE MALL AT STEAMTOWN. gotta love wishful thinking high schoolers who start rumors with my name on them.

i'm going to return to my regularly scheduled browsing and grubbing. more updates on the way...

ralphie.

the first dance...

atleast they have a nice sense of humor...

the latest from... simple plan?

yes pierre and the boys are back recording and releasing new material - they've even shot a video for their new single, "when i'm gone."

if you like old simple plan, you'll like new simple plan. same pop-rock sound.

call or e-mail me and i'll tell you about all of my crazy simple plan stories... getting them buffalo wings, buying them drinks... yeah pretty raucous stuff.

free jay-z album!

so this dj in washington d.c. took jay-z's latest album - american gangster, and threw the remix on it using led zeppelin songs.

i know, i think the idea sounds dope too.

no final jeopardy for trebek.

tmz and a slew of other media outlets are reporting that jeopardy! show host alex trebek suffered a mild heart attack. the game show host is fine and resting comfortably.

trebek is 67, and has hosted jeopardy! since september of 84.

wilkes u says sex helps prevent the flu.

watching msnbc the other day - and a story about this article in newsweek came on tv. apparently there are many non-intimate reasons to have sex on a regular basis.

fighting the flu? really? the most ironic part is that the study regarding love making and flu-fighting eminates from our backyard - wilkes university.

i'm getting to the bottom of this... no pun intended...
