Last month, organizers and sponsors of the event met and, in consultation with the United Way of Wyoming Valley, decided that CFC VI would support local autism programs.

Joe Pantoliano, who won an Emmy for his role as "Ralph Cifaretto" on The Sopranos, calls in to The Ralphie Radio Show to talk about his choice for President - Senator Barack Obama. Don't think that Ralphie didn't ask him a question or two about his favorite TV show either.

Pantoliano also appeared in The Matrix, Bad Boys I & II, and lent his voice to an episode of The Simpsons.

tonight just past 7!!!

dceezy for the weekend...

so i was in DC for the weekend... pictures to come, but for now, here's this week's portion of the ralphie report that describes some of the randomness that occurred...

---

The Green Apple Festival is billed as the world’s largest Earth Day celebration. This year’s festivities were scheduled in eight cities in landmarks across the U.S. Sites included Central Park in New York City and The Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.

Another location – The National Mall in Washington D.C., did not party with scheduled acts The Roots, Ne-Yo, and will.i.am. Despite a celebration of Earth, Mother Nature did not cooperate. Downpours brought thunder, lightening, and damage to the sound equipment. The day-long concert began at noon, but would not last much after. The only big act to perform a quick music set was American Idol runner-up Blake Lewis.

In yet another sign that this world is smaller than we all think, I ran into Lewis at the bar inside The Marriott on Pennsylvania Avenue later in the night. Turns out the Seattle-born singer did not find out that he would perform at the festival until 48 hours before hand. Of course, Lewis was disappointed that the dismal weather cut the event short.

“Like literally, right when I stepped on (stage), the rain started,” he told me over a beer. “It’s too bad, because there was a nice crowd too, and by the time I finished there was about 6,000 people there.”

Officials ended the event just after 3 pm. The large crowd never saw The Roots jam with will.i.am. or Doug E. Fresh. Even Lewis planned on jumping in on the action – but instead relegated back to his hotel room.

Meanwhile the lead emcee of The Black Eyed Peas packed his bags and hopped on the next first class flight to Los Angeles. After spending a mere few hours at home, will.i.am would jet off to London, supporting his CD, Songs About Girls, which is still receiving copious amounts of love overseas.

Lewis planned on spending the night in our nation’s capital – as unsexy as that might seem. After all, this was a Sunday night in a city filled with weekday warriors working the 9 to 5. A flight home awaited the Idol contestant in the morning.

And me? Well the weekend was a far cry from a disappointment. After an eventful Saturday evening in D.C. with one of my college roommates, I spend the early part of Sunday watching my Yankees defeat the Orioles in Baltimore.

Of course, the evening wasn’t so shabby either.

ap puts bret michaels on da spot...

"AP: What are you hiding under that bandanna?

Michaels: My hair is combined of my hair and the finest extensions Europe has to offer. I do the show without it on all the time and they wont film me. They are like, 'Put your bandanna back on. It is your image.' It is my signature thing."

and you thought rock of love was a sham...

heidi gets low-low-low-low...

and not in a flo rida kinda way. first - she appears on regis and kelly, with some not-so-nice things to spew about her archnemisis, a one lauren conrad.

redlasso apparently hates blogger, so click here to watch.

oh no he didn't!

everyone in america is fascinated with the arrival of pope benedict, only the second pope to ever visit the us and a. however, there is only one man who can upstage the pontiff, and he did so in an orlando hospital.

none other than a crying jesus christ appeared in the form of condensation on a window. who needs the right hand man when you can bring it in for the real thing?

pres bush to pope benedict - "awesome"

so pope benedict visits america for his first time - and he's greeted by our eloquent, well-spoken president. after speaking outside of the white house, the commander in chief lets his true feelings out.

responding to the pregnancy rumors on a taping of trl (so much for the l)...

"I just think it's an inappropriate question to ask any woman. For me, that's something that I didn't ever want to respond to, because I think it's an inappropriate question."

beyonce's getting old...

first she marries, now she retires? from 97bht.com...

(New York, NY) -- Pop star Beyonce Knowles may be contemplating retirement. According to the "New York Daily News," the singer's cousin Angelica Knowles says the album Beyonce is now working on will be her last and that she then plans to scout talent for her reported new husband, rapper and hip-hop mogul Jay-Z's upcoming label, to be called The Carter Music Group. Beyonce's reps have not commented on the retirement report. Twenty-six-year-old Beyonce is rumored to have tied the knot with 38-year-old Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, April 4th at his New York City apartment. The nuptials have not been officially confirmed. Beyonce has been spotted wearing a large diamond ring and singer Mary J. Blige appeared to offer her congratulations to the couple during one of her recent concerts.
