Reports last week had Charlie Sheen checking into a rehab facility with plans to stay there for at least 3 months. Well, it turns out Sheen never even left his house!!!
According to RadarOnline:
"“Charlie was supposed to go to a rehab facility but he absolutely refused to go,” one pal, who has intimate knowledge of the situation, told RadarOnline.com. “He is at home now and those close to him are trying to get him to enter a facility, but he doesn’t think he has a problem.”

The NOW2K Tech Team is going to be doing some work this afternoon...meaning the station will be "off the air" for a (hopefully) short time this afternoon.
Keep an eye on this site & the Facebook page for updates...I'll let you know as soon as NOW2K is back up and "On The Air!"
"Lindsay Lohan believes Charlie Sheen is in the midst of a 'life or death situation' and tells friends she's thrilled that Sheen has checked himself into rehab.
Sources close to Lohan tell us...Lindsay is 'worried' about Sheen because his most recent bender shows 'obvious signs of addiction'..."
You mean locking yourself in a mansion with porn stars and a briefcase full of cocaine ISN'T normal behavior? And seriously...how BIG of a problem do you have when LINDSAY LOHAN is concerned about you? Ha ha...
After Charlie Sheen was rushed to hospital with what was described as "severe abdominal pain" - which occurred after Sheen spent several days partying with porn stars, booze and cocaine - he has apparently checked into rehab. But NOT before sending off a text message to the folks over at RadarOnline:
"“I’m fine,” Sheen told RadarOnline’s Senior Executive Editor Dylan Howard via text message on Friday afternoon around the same time it was announced he was checking into rehab. “People don’t seem to get it…. Guy can’t have a great time and do his job also?” The Two and a Half Men star finished the text with a characterization of his detractors: “Bunch of turds.”
Needless to say, Warner Bros. has put production of "Two And A Half Men" on hiatus for the forseeable future.
Here are this week's NOW2K Top 10 HITS for the week ending January 28/2010 (as reported by RadioWave Monitor):
1. Black Eyed Peas - The Time (Dirty Bit) 2. Rihanna - Only Girl In The World 3. Chris Brown - Yeah x 3 4. Enrique Igleasias - Tonight (feat. Ludacris) 5. Ke$ha - We R Who We R 6.

It's what fans of "The Office" have been waiting 10 years for: Michael Scott meets David Brent:
David Brent is, of course, the character that Ricky Gervais played on the original UK version of "The Office", of which Gervais is the creator. He's also one of the excutive producers on the US version of the show (which has now been adapted for more than a dozen countries around the world).
Steve Carrell made headlines in 2010 when he announced he was leaving "The Office" to pursue his movie career. Gervais made headlines THIS year after his legendary hosting of the 2011 Golden Globe awards.
I can only think of two times in my entire life where I've actually been brought to tears by something I've watched on TV...and now I can add a third time; Did you happen to see last night's episode of American Idol? Wow...
Proving he's NOT the orgy-booze-drug machine we all thought he was, Charlie Sheen put himself into the hospital earlier today.
Apparently, Sheen hasn't slept since Monday and has been partying with hookers and has been on a cocaine & booze binge since last weekend. A 911 call was made at around 6:30am after Sheen complained of extreme abdominal pain.
It turns out that Sheen is suffering from a hernia, which apparently has plagued him for quite some time, according to his agent.
Sheen should be back on his feet and banging hookers in no time at all.
I'm no expert, but THIS has "International Incident" written all over it.
Seems the cast of Jersey Shore is headed to their homeland; MTV has revealed that the guidos and guidettes who're famous for fist-pumping, heavy drinking, hard partying and GTL-ing are headed overseas to Italy to shoot a few episodes of the show.
MTV programming Vice President Chris Linn said that sending the cast to Europe "is a fresh spin on a show that continues to reach new heights for us."
Fans are thrilled but several Italian/American groups are concerned that the guys and gals of the Jersey Shore might not put their best foot forward. These same groups are already upset about the show and have launched a boycott claiming the show exploits Italian/American heritage.
Season 4 of MTV's Jersey Shore is set to air later in 2011.
Another week and another new track added to the rotation on NOW2K...this week, it's the new one from Taylor Swift called "Back To December". You'll hear it in the mix on NOW2K...along with a TON of other great HIT MUSIC!!!
Here are this week's NOW2K TOP 10 HITS for the week ending January 21/2010 (as reported by RadioWave Monitor):
1. Enrique Iglesias - Tonight (I'm Loving You) 2. Britney Spears - Hold It Against Me 3. Bruno Mars - Grenade 4. Rihanna - What's My Name (feat. Drake) 5. P!nk - Raise Your Glass 6. Rihanna - Only Girl In The World 7. Black Eyed Peas - The Time (Dirty Bit) 8. Ke$ha - We R Who We R 9. Katy Perry - Firework 10. Chris Brown - Yeah x 3
Personally, I wouldn't pay for it...but I can tell you how much Justin Bieber pays:
$750.00
According to an article in "Life & Style" magazine, Bieber's famous haircut was created by Vanessa Price back in 2009. She says that when he hits the road, she makes housecalls and cuts Bieber's hair twice a month...which means he's spending upwards of $1500 per month on haircuts.
All of the sudden the $18 I spend at the barber shop once a month doesn't seem so bad.
Get ready for it! Katy Perry is HITTING THE ROAD!!!
Just announced today (live on Facebook) Katy Perry revealed that she's going to be heading out on tour in support of her MASSIVE album "Teenage Dream" (featuring the hits "California Girls", "Teenage Dream" and her latest #1 single "Firework").
Katy will be kicking off the tour February 20th in Lisbon, Portugal and then spending the rest of February, all of March & the first part of April in Europe. Then, it's off to Australia and New Zealand from the end of April to mid-May. After shows "down under", Katy will head to Japan for shows in Nagoya, Tokyo and Osaka.
Katy will start the North American portion of the tour in Atlanta, GA on June 7th and wrap it up August 14th in Santa Barbara, CA before heading BACK to the UK in October where she'll end the tour in Dublin, Ireland on November 7th at the O2 Arena.
Because 14 kids don't just feed and shelter themselves, it's finally come to this: The Octomom is doing porn.
Yes...you read that correctly; Nadia Suleman (better known as "The Octomom") has made her first foray into the world of Adult Entertainment with the folks at Vivid Entertainment (who are the same people who released Pam Anderson & Tommy Lee's sex video and Kim Kardashian's sex video - among others).
The video - which was shot recently at her Los Angeles home - features Suleman dressed in a black corset & stockings whipping a man dressed up as a baby.
So, last night, the 2011 Golden Globes were held in Beverly Hills, California and there weren't a whole LOT of surprises. The big winners included "Glee" which took home 3 awards (including the award for "Best TV Series, Musical or Comedy) and "The Social Network" which received 4 awards (including "Best Picture, Drama").
It seemed, however, that the REAL talk of the Golden Globes was the host/MC...Ricky Gervais.
Over the course of the evening he managed to trash Angelina Jolie, Charlie Sheen, John Travolta, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, Robert Downey Jr., Hugh Hefner and God.
Some have said he was "over the top" and "completely insulting". Others have said he was "bloody brilliant" and "genius". Personally, I'm a member of the latter...I think the man is an amazing talent who was just saying what everyone was thinking. But then again, it's hard to be impartial when you're a fan, like I am.
You be the judge: All of this being said, it's rumored that Gervais will NOT be coming back for a THIRD run as the host of the Golden Globes in 2012 as (apparently) the final straw was when he made a joke about Phillip Berk, the current head of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (something to do with helping him off the toilet and popping his teeth back in).
According to a story over at Popeater.com, a source with the HFPA has said that Gervais "definitely will not be invited back next year" and that his schtik this year could have dire consequences including "any movie he makes can forget about being nominated".
It's my favorite time of the week: NEW...HIT...MUSIC!!! Here are a couple new tracks to listen for this week on NOW2K

Here are this week's NOW2K TOP 10 HITS for the week ending January 14/2011 (as reported by RadioWave Monitor):
1. Rihanna - What's My Name (feat. Drake) 2. Katy Perry - Firework 3. Pink - Raise Your Glass 4. Black Eyed Peas - The Time (Dirty Bit) 5. Rihanna - Only Girl In The World 6. Bruno Mars - Grenade 7.

Apparently someone decided it would be a good idea to dress their kids up as the cast of "Jersey Shore" for Halloween this year. They then posted a picture of the kids to Twitter and sent the tweet to JWoww - which she decided to re-tweet to the entire world.
What you're looking at is a picture of Andrew Garfield (who recently starred in the critically acclaimed "The Social Network") as "Spider-Man".
Garfield is starring in the re-boot of the Spider-Man movie franchise and this is the first OFFICIAL photo of him in the new Spider-Man costume. It's definitely got a "grittier" feeling to it compared to the Toby Macguire version of the character.
Wow...has it really been 1 year since the devastating earthquake that left the country of Haiti in ruins and over 200,000 people dead?
People pulled together to help like they'd never done before...whether it was travelling to Haiti to volunteer to hunt for survivors or cash donations - which were in the hundreds of millions of dollars. However, the need is still there...and there are many ways you can still help. To find out how, head over to the Official Red Cross Website for all the details.
Wow...what a GREAT week for NEW HIT MUSIC!!! Only a few new tracks this week, but they're FRIGGING HUGE ONES!!!
Britney Spears - Hold It Against Me
P!nk - F**kin' Perfect
Linkin Park - Waiting For The End
There are a couple of other things I'd like to mention too:
I'd like to say a big "THANK YOU" to everyone listening to NOW2K...as of today, NOW2K is the #4 Top 40 station on the Live 365 network!!!
Also, I'm aware of some of the "issues" with the sound of the station as of late; I changed broadcasting software and the sound quality isn't quite up to my personal standards...I'm working on this & hope to have it fixed by the weekend.
And finally, don't forget to check out the debut edition of THE FRIDAY NIGHT BLENDER!!! It's FOUR SOLID HOURS of the biggest REMIXES and MASH-UP's...and it all starts at 8pm (ET)!
Thanks again for listening...and as always, feel free to email me at now2k@live.ca with any comments, questions or requests!!!
Pip pip, cheerio...let's nip down to the pub for a pint of ale!
Sorry about that...just brushing up on my British slang in preparation for the arrival of some very cool music from the UK!!!
That's right...after spending some time over the holidays listening to some very cool radio stations broadcasting out of England (including BBC Radio One & Capital FM), I've decided to add some of the artists that are popular "across the pond" to the NOW2K playlist!
Some of the artists you'll hear on NOW2K include Cheryl Cole, JLS, McFly, Professor Green and - the man who was named "MTV's Artist To Watch for 2011 - Tinie Tempah!
Why am I doing this? 2 reasons:
1) To expose the North American listeners to something fresh & new
2) And to attract listeners to NOW2K from ALL OVER THE WORLD!!!
So, I hope you enjoy listening to some of these new artists! As always, feel free to send me an email at now2k@live.ca and let me know what you think!
After a night of hard work by the NOW2K Technical Team, NOW2K is now up and running on new "automation software" (thanks to the fine folks at StationPlaylist.com).
I'm still playing around with some of the settings to make everything "perfect" but I think it's all good! If YOU happen to hear anything wrong with the station, feel free to drop me an email at now2k@live.ca and let me know what's up!
Thanks for your patience...and thanks for listening to NOW2K!!!
Just a heads-up: The highly skilled NOW2K Technical Team (shown above, hard at work) will be doing some computer upgrades & other nerd-related stuff, which might result in the "Live Stream" going down. If that happens, I'll switch the station over to "Basic Broadcast Mode" which might mean some gaps between the songs and (heaven forbid!) COMMERCIALS! (gasp!).
Here are this week's NOW2K Top 10 HITS for the week ending January 7/2011 (as reported by RadioWave Monitor):
1. Ke$ha - We R Who We R 2. Katy Perry - Firework 3. Bruno Mars - Grenade 4. Mike Posner - Please Don't Go 5. Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are 6. Nelly - Just A Dream 7. P!nk - Raise Your Glass 8. Black Eyed Peas - The Time (Dirty Bit) 9. Rihanna - What's My Name (feat. Drake) 10. Rihanna - Only Girl In The World
If your local 15 year old girl has been looking a little "down" today, it's likely because of the release of the above photo.
"The Biebs" was photographed canoodling with former Disney star, Selena Gomez over the New Year's holiday. There have been rumors that the 2 were an item for awhile now, but they've been denying it. I'm no expert, but I'm thinking that will be pretty hard to do now.
**UPDATE: Some sources have been saying that Gomez has been receiving DEATH THREATS via Twitter from outraged Bieber fans (yes...really).
So this photo of Katy Perry hit the interwebs today:
Apparently, her (soon-to-be ex?) hubby, Russell Brand took the photo last week and posted it to Twitter. Rumor is that Katy was PISSED and Russell pulled the photo almost instantly, but let's face it: this is the Internet...and it took all of about 3 seconds for the photo to make it's way to all the big celeb gossip sites.
Anyone else find it ironic that the first line of Katy's hit Teenage Dream is "You think I'm pretty without any make-up on"?
WOW! What an absolutely AMAZING year 2010 was for NOW2K! When I launched the station back in October 2009, I had NO IDEA just how big this station was going to get! NOW2K is on the verge of cracking 50,000 listening hours and finished 2010 as the NUMBER 5 ranked Top 40 station on Live365!
