Classical Music Sucks...Right? WRONG!!!

Raise your hand if you think Classical Music sucks. Yeah...that's what I thought you'd all say. Well, get ready to be proven WRONG!

Let me introduce you to an Australian group called "Aston". Here's a little bit of info about them:

Aston’s musical vision is as simple as it is breathtakingly beautiful: to present a set of classic and contemporary songs like no one has ever heard them before. Contemporary classics presented as classical music.

The six members of Aston, aged between 21 and 23, have come straight out of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, the most distinguished music school in Australia. Some members are not due to graduate until the end of the year, but they are all already professional young musicians of the highest calibre. What began as a side-project amongst a bunch of students created an instant buzz that’s led to ASTON being signed by Warner Music Australia, recording a debut album and now preparing to take their unique modern classical sound out to audiences across Australia and the rest of the world.

Here's a sample of what they can do...it's their take on Lady GaGa's hit "Telephone":

Glee is BACK...and BIGGER Than EVER!!!

Fox's smash-hit "Glee" returned from a four-month hiatus on Tuesday night. And not only did it's audience return, but they came back in RECORD NUMBERS!!!

An estimated 13.7 MILLION people tuned in, which is almost DOUBLE the average of the first 13 episodes of the series, which was 7.3 Million viewers. Before Tuesday night, the highest-rated episode was the series premiere which attracted 9.6 Million viewers.

Check out this clip of the Glee cast performing The Beatles classic, "Hello Goodbye" from this week's episode:

Lindsay vs Dr. Drew!

VH1 addiction "expert" DR. DREW PINSKY has been diagnosing LINDSAY LOHAN from afar for months now, and she's had enough.

Lindsay told some website called GossipCop.com, quote, "He's a quack and a sell-out...Please tell him to stop!"

Most recently, Drew said, "If she were my daughter, I would pack her car full with illegal substances, send her on her way, call the police, and make sure she was arrested. I would make sure she was not allowed to get out of jail. I would then go to the judge and make sure she was ordered to a minimum of a three year sobriety program."

TBS Is With Coco!

In news that's being described with words like "surprising," "shocking" and similar open-mouthed adjectives, CONAN O'BRIEN has announced plans to resume his late-night comedy career on . . . TBS.

There aren't many details yet, but here’s what we know:

Yesterday, Conan posted a Twitter message . . . saying, quote, "The good news: I will be doing a show on TBS starting in November! The bad news: I'll be playing Rudy on the all new 'Cosby Show'."

He later added, quote, "In three months I've gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I'm headed to basic cable. My plan is working perfectly."

It's not a joke. His new show - which is still untitled - will run from 11:00 P.M. to midnight, Monday through Thursday. It will take the place of GEORGE LOPEZ'S talk show, "Lopez Tonight", which will be bumped to midnight.

Obviously, this situation brings up a lot of parallels to the NBC Late-Night Mess . . . when Conan refused to bump "The Tonight Show" back to midnight to make room for JAY LENO'S return to late-night. But Conan isn't Leno-ing George.

Conan's manager, Gavin Polone, said, quote, "That sounded very similar to [what happened at NBC]. Conan said, 'We're not putting ourselves in the position of shoving somebody out of his show.'"

TBS boss Steve Koonin made his initial pitch to Conan less than two weeks ago . . . but ONLY after getting George's blessing first. Then, George called Conan personally to invite him on board. Polone said, quote, "It really was George who made this happen." At that point, negotiations reportedly progressed very quickly.

To make sure there's no doubt about how he feels, George released the following statement yesterday: "I can't think of anything better than doing my show with Conan as my lead-in. It's the beginning of a new era in late-night comedy."

There's no specific debut date yet, aside from it happening sometime in November.

Be A Guidette...Make $2200?

Those morons from MTV's "Jersey Shore" are EVERYWHERE these days. But that didn't translate into big bucks for them right off the bat.

"Parade" magazine dropped its annual "What People Earn" edition yesterday . . . and they say the show's breakout star, NICOLE "SNOOKI" POLIZZI, only banked $2,200 in 2009. That's $200 per episode for the first season of "Jersey Shore" . . . which shot last year and aired from December of '09 through this past January. There were 11 episodes in all.

It's not clear if that's ALL the money Snooki made in '09, or if that's all she made from the show. Either way, she'll earn a lot more this year. Shooting on Season Two is currently underway, and cast members are now being paid a reported $10,000 per episode.

Plus, ever since "Jersey Shore" blew up, she and other members of the cast have been able to make big bucks from personal appearances.

Bombshell McGee...Gets Around

It seems that Michelle "Bombshell" McGee has a "thing" for the tatooed lesser-known husbands of famous women.

Word is coming out that in addition to an affair with Sandra Bullock's hubby Jesse James, McGee also messed around with P!nk's man, inked-up motocross legend, Carey Hart!

A source close to P!nk and Hart say that the alleged affair between Hart & McGee happened in September 2008 during the Action Sports Retailer convention in San Diego.

However, if the story is actually true, it might turn out to be "no big deal" since P!nk and Hart were on that little "break" they took from the marriage at the time.

14:59...And Counting

Time could be ticking away on Kate Gosselin's 15 minutes of fame...especially after last night's DISASTROUS performance on "Dancing With The Stars".

On last night’s show, taped rehearsals were shown of the pair and a strained relationship between the two was quite obvious. Gosselin hasn’t been the dancing prodigy that Dovolany has hoped for and said “Nothing in dancing is natural to Kate.” He continued to say, “I’ve never been questioned in my teaching.” Gosselin seemed to have two left feet during rehearsals and didn’t seem to grasp the moves as well as Dovolany hoped. He topped off the rehearsals with a simple, “I quit.”

The drama climaxed with a warm and fuzzy moment in which Dovolany returned, apologized to Gosselin and she thanked him. “A lot of people quit on me in life,” she said and finished it all off with a hug.

However sweet that may have been, there performance truly suffered. Their performance was somewhat of a train-wreck and Gosselin was stiff and robotic in her movements. The judges were less than impressed and she ended up with one of the lowest scores of the night, 15.

Fake Tan F***-Up's...Yikes

I understand the whole fascination with "Jersey Shore" (let's face it...it's a train wreck and THAT'S why people watch it) but I really don't get people who want to EMULATE what they see on that show - including the FAKE TAN!!!

Earlier today, "The Sun" website published a bunch of pictures of people who have used fake tanning - both of the tanning bed & product varieties and the results are frightening to say the least.

Take a look at the photos here - and if you look like any of these people remember this one simple thing: CARROTS should be ORANGE...not PEOPLE!

GaGa's LeLegal TrTroubles

Fresh from her prison stint in the video for “Telephone,” Lady Gaga could soon be headed to court — not to face any number of angry grindhouse filmmakers whose works inspired that video, but a lawsuit from a songwriter and producer who says he’s the one who gave her that famous stage name.

The Associated Press reported that Rob Fusari, who helped write Lady Gaga songs including “Paparazzi” and “Beautiful, Dirty, Rich,” filed a $30.5 million lawsuit against the singer, saying she has frozen him out of her career as she has become more successful.

Mr. Fusari, who has also worked on hit songs like Will Smith’s “Wild, Wild West” and Destiny’s Child’s “Bootylicious,” said in his suit that he was first introduced to the singer Stefani Germanotta in 2006, helping to guide her from a rock musician to a dance artist and nicknaming her Lady Gaga, from the Queen song “Radio Ga Ga.”

He said he had received more than $600,000 from Lady Gaga but had not received his full share of song royalties, merchandising revenue and other fees. Representatives for Lady Gaga have not yet responded to the suit, which was filed in a state court in Manhattan.

Have You Been Locked Out?

So in the last few weeks, I've noticed that NOW2K has been reaching it's "listener cap" on a pretty regular basis. What exactly does this mean? Well, it means that there are certain times when people might want to listen to NOW2K but CAN'T because all the listening slots are full, which sucks for the people being "locked out".

Now, there are 2 options for me:

• I can continue encouraging people to sign up for Live 365's VIP Membership which guarantees you will NEVER be "locked out of listening"and also gives you access to listen to NOW2K on your iPod Touch, iPhone and Blackberry.
• Or I can INCREASE the number of available listener spots - which means a slight increase in my broadcasting fees (but don't worry...I'm not going to start charging you money to listen...NOW2K will ALWAYS be free).

So, I'm turning it over to the masses. You can either send me an e-mail with your thoughts OR answer the poll question on the right-hand side of the page.

Thanks for reading!

Canada's New Haiti Tribute Song

There have been a ton of tribute/fundraising songs done to raise money for Haitian earthquake relief, but I have to tell you this one is my favorite and it's got an amazing story behind it:

Musical icon, Bob Ezrin announces that more than 50 of the country's best and brightest young artists gathered today at The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver to record a song dedicated to the recovery efforts in earthquake ravaged Haiti.

The song, a rendition of hip-hop artist, K'naan's "Wavin' Flag" will be released in the coming weeks with proceeds going to Free The Children, War Child Canada and World Vision Canada.

"With the wealth of young artists coming out of Canada, it was obvious that this is something we had to do," says Ezrin. "K'naan's lyrics in Wavin' Flag embody the pain, passion and determination of the Haitian people and lend the hope of a brighter future. The response from the artists has been sensational, and I am so proud that together we may help to make a difference."

Dancing With The...Stars?

During last night's finale of "The Bachelor", ABC revealed the contestants of the latest series of their hit show, "Dancing With The Stars" and honestly, I think they're playing a little fast & loose with the term "Stars". Here's who they've landed:

• Pamela Anderson
• Kate Gosselin (formerly of "John & Kate Plus 8)
• Evan Lysacek (Gold Medal winning figure skater)
• Buzz Aldrin (the second man to walk on the moon...who's also 80 years old)
• Shannen Doherty (of "Beverly Hills 90210" fame)
• Nicole Scherzinger (of the Pussycat Dolls)
• Niecy Nash (host of "Clean House" on Style Network)
• Erin Andrews (the ESPN reporter who was videotaped naked in a hotel through a hotel peephole)
• Chad Ochocinco (Cincinnatti Bengals wide receiver)
• Alden Turner (star of "All My Children")
• and Jake Pavelka (the most recent "Bachelor")

Really? THAT'S the best they could come up with?

Canadian Women Win GOLD!!!

Canada captured a third consecutive Olympic women's ice hockey title on Thursday, defeating arch-rival United States 2-0 in an emotional championship match on home ice.

"It was special to do it at home," Olympic all-time scoring leader Hayley Wickenheiser said after her third gold medal.

"They have all been sensational. This one wasn't pretty but we gutted it out and we got the job done."

Marie-Philip Poulin scored twice in the first period and goaltender Shannon Szabados made 28 saves to bring Canada the victory and bragging rights in a border war arch-rivalry between the sport's only two women's powers.

"We played a great game and this is an incredible moment," Szabados said. "It was unbelievable. I just had to be calm and poised. I just tried to relax and have fun. You always want to be confident out there."

The Americans, two-time reigning world champions, settled for a silver medal while Finland took bronze with an earlier 3-2 overtime triumph over Sweden.

The ladies have raised the ire of the IOC though...they returned to the ice about a half-hour after the medals ceremony to have a private celebration featuring champagne, beer & cigars. From the National Post's "Vancouver Now" blog:

The International Olympic Committee will investigate the behaviour of the Canadian women's hockey players who celebrated their gold medal at the Vancouver Games by drinking alcohol on the ice.

Several Canadian players returned to the ice surface at Canada Hockey Place roughly 30 minutes after their 2-0 win over the U.S. on Thursday night.

The players drank cans of beer and bottles of champagne, and smoked cigars with their gold medals draped around their necks.

Check out the pics:








Congrats ladies! Now, it's time to see if the MEN can do it too!

ATTENTION MIAMI: GUIDO & GUIDETTE ALERT!!!

Look out Miami...you might want to hide the hair gel and tight clothing. The cast of MTV's "Jersey Shore" is headed your way.

According to reports that have surfaced on-line, the cast will film Season 2 in South Beach. Rumor is they'll live in a house off of Lincoln Road. And yes, it will be fully equipped with a tanning bed, duck phone and lots of Italian flags. Filming is slated to start in May.

Talk that "Jersey Shore" might set up shop in sunny Miami started a week ago when TMZ.com uncovered a producer's letter to the owner of Mynt Lounge.

At that time, sources told the website that the network was deciding between Miami and nine other warm cities. Lucky you.

And if you've ever wondered what you'd look like as a Jersey Shore Guido or Guidette, be sure to check out the "Jerzify Yourself" website. When you're done, send me the link (or photo via e-mail) and I'll post them here on the blog!

The Saints Are Marching In...As The CHAMPS!!!

The New Orleans Saints completed their storybook season Sunday night by rallying from an early 10-point deficit to beat the favored Colts 31-17 in Super Bowl XLIV in Sun Life Stadium. The final chapter was basically a summary of their their entire season: the offense dominated down the stretch, and the defense came up with another return for a score.

Drew Brees, who was voted MVP after completing 32-of-39 passes for 288 yards and two scores, found tight end Jeremy Shockey with a 2-yard strike that gave New Orleans a 24-17 lead with 5½ minutes to play; and, two minutes later, cornerback Tracy Porter returned an interception of Peyton Manning 74 yards for a back-breaking touchdown. It was the Saints' ninth defensive score of the season.

It was quite a finish considering New Orleans (16-3) appeared headed for a long night after falling behind 10-0 in the first quarter. But the Saints scored the next 13 points to set up a back-and-forth finish that culminated with New Orleans overcoming a 17-16 fourth-quarter deficit.
