I usually get to watch what I want at home, but Monday nights are for my wife and her “Gossip Girl” show….I’ve seen 3 episodes so far, and I have no clue what it’s about….besides a bunch of rich kids who run around saying things about each other behind their backs.  Riveting TV.

After thinking about it for 2 seconds, I’d rather watch Gossip Girl than see David Blaine’s next “stunt”.  David rolled a lot of eyes last week when he suspended himself upside-down for three straight days except when he was taking frequent breaks and turning upright, followed by an anti-climactic finale called the “Dive of Death,” which was neither.

Before we rush to judge Blaine’s apparent regression into lameness/irrelevance, I’ll remind you that the stunt could’ve been a LOT worse….here’s a couple ideas for his next trick.

 Here’s a taste of cutting-edge, head-cutting commercial hilarity via the stylings of one Slim, who apparently owns a babershop in the Chicago area. Note that when the camera pans across the front of his shop, the sign reads CLOSED. That’s pretty funny.

So I’m on the air for a couple hours today….it’s good to work on the weekend every once in awhile.  Although with our BT30 Countdown, Just Joe and I are on the air every Saturday night from 7-10, and then again on Sunday morning from 7-10.  I really need a new agent. 

Since not a lot of people are at the radio station on the weekend, I didn’t feel like I had to dress as professionaly as I would during the week….and I also didn’t have enough time to shower….not the best move I’ve ever made.  Until I get to go home, I’m going to feel grimy and gross….at least I know what my prom date felt like for the 21 minutes she spent with me.

Anyway, some super terrific blog readers have asked me to put up some pictures of my 10 month old son, Isaiah.  Here’s one we took last week.

I didn’t even know the camera was on….here’s a whole album of pics on myspace:

Just Joe is shy and won’t admit it, but he was a cute kid.  So much spunk…..so bright.  He’ll be embarrassed, but check out this video of him dazzling a local reporter.

 That might have been the day Joe's parents left him at the carnival....

In what can only be a desperate attempt to prove that she can sing, Britney Spears world premiered her new song “Womanizer” on B93.7 today….It’s an acoustic song where you can hear Britney’s vocal range and emotion through her thought provoking lyrics.

Just kidding.  It’s her saying an occasional word between puffs on her Virginia Slim while a bunch of producers piece together loud music and backup vocals….in other words, regular old Britney.

Wayne Brady, from “Who’s Line Is It Anyway?” felt the need that all actors do: make a horrible sounding song and then accompany it with an equally horrible video.  Here’s Mr. Brady taping a music video in LA for his upcoming song “‘A Long Time Coming”.

He’s obviously taking a page from the boy band ’s book on music videos….although NSYNC is king for now.  The award for “Best Use of a Turtleneck In a Forest” goes to….Justin Timberlake!!

Since I was a fetus, I’ve always been fascinated by video games.  Why do so many nerds love them? I know why.  It’s because unlike a girlfriend, they don’t demand love, affection, and the ability to know their birthday….I’m not a wizard! How am I expected to know such complex things? Although I do know the password to Contra: Up, down, up, down, left, right, left, right, A, B, Select, Start…..but who doesn’t know that?

This is a song called “Oh No You Didn’t” by the Wojahn Brothers.  You might have seen it on the commercials for the Mercenaries 2 game.  Let me know what you think.

What you’re seeing here is a giant corn field in Utah where American Idol star David Archuleta has had his face immortalized along with the words “Archuleta 4 President”. This is proof that aliens do exist….and they are idiots.

 The trailer for Notorious has finally hit the web. With Brooklyn rapper Gravy (aka Jamal Woolard) playing Biggie and Derek Luke as P. Diddy, we can’t wait for this one. But will the film be a fitting legacy to one of the greatest rappers of all time? It’s hard to say from this teaser, which offers only a few glimpses of actual footage. Still, those glimpses are pretty awesome: Biggie as a little kid counting money? That pinstripe suit? Gold, Jerry, gold. On the other hand, the film is being released on Jan. 16, 2009 — historically a studio dumping ground. If it was really “sicker than your average,” wouldn’t Fox Searchlight drop it over Christmas? Only time will tell, but for now, the trailer holds us over.

Clay Aiken is on the cover of the latest People magazine telling us the one thing we already knew about him.  Great….now I have to give Ruben Studdard a job at B93.7….I’m guessing we already have enough vending machine security guards.  Anyway, check out Clay’s People magazine cover.

 If I was the editor at People, Clay’s cover would look like this.
