Charlie Sheen: "What Problem?"

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.”

Seriously? Dude...even LINDSAY LOHAN thinks you have a problem. If THAT doesn't tell you something, what will?

Again, I'll keep you posted as this goes on...

Thanks for your patience!

You Know You've Got A Problem When...

This is a classic case of "the pot calling the kettle a junkie".

Courtesy of our friends over at TMZ:

"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...

More details as they come...

Charlie Sheen Checks Into Rehab

No big shocker here...

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.

I'll post details as they become available.

Ricky Gervais Comes "Home"

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.

Jeff @ NOW2K

I'm Not Crying...It's Just Dusty In Here (Sniff, Sniff)

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...



Sorry...I need to go get a Kleenex.

Jeff @ NOW2K

It Was Bound To Catch Up To Him Sooner Or Later

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.

Jeff @ NOW2K

Jersey Shore...Off To Italy?

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.

Justin Bieber Makes Too Much Damned Money

How much would YOU pay for THIS haircut?

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.

For more details and the complete tour itinerary (including ticket sales) you can check out the Tour page on Katy's official website!

Your Weekly Dose Of WTF?!?

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.

I wish I was making this up.

The 2011 Golden Globes

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".

Oh well...at least he made good on his promise.

Jeff @ NOW2K

Introducing "The Mini-Guidos"

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.

Do you think this counts as child abuse?

Jeff @ NOW2K

The Amazing (?) Spider-Man

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.

Yes...I am a nerd.

Jeff @ NOW2K

Haiti: One Year Later

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.

Jeff @ NOW2K

NEW HIT MUSIC ON NOW2K!!!

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)!

THE BRITISH ARE COMING!!! THE BRITISH ARE COMING!!!

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!

Thanks!

Jeff @ NOW2K

Upgrades...COMPLETE!

Ummm...that's how it's supposed to be...right?

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!!!

Jeff @ NOW2K

Technical Work This Weekend...

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!).

Trust me...it'll all be worth it though!

And don't forget about THE FRIDAY NIGHT BLENDER which kicks off NEXT Friday night!

Thanks for your patience...and thanks for continuing to listen to NOW2K!

Justin Bieber Kissed Selena Gomez? OMG!!1!!?

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).

You Think I'm Pretty Without Any Make-Up On

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"?

Apparently, You CAN Hassle The Hoff

After attempting to watch the first episode of "The Hasselhoffs" (I lasted about 3 minutes before I wanted to stab myself in the face), this really doesn't come as shocking news.

A&E has CANCELLED "The Hasselhoffs" after only 2 episodes. Why? Apparently NO ONE CARED!!! Estimates had about 700,000 people watching the first episode and less than 500,000 people watching the second episode.

Putting The "Party" In "Party In The U.S.A."

Seems like Miley Cyrus is on track to be the next Lindsay Lohan.

Just days after her 18th birthday, video & photos have surfaced of Miley Cyrus taking hits off a bong which - Miley makes a point of mentioning - was NOT filled with marijuana. Apparently, the bong was filled with a natural herb called "salvia", which has hallucenigenic properties and is totally legal in the state of California.

The video was allegedly shot by a friend and was then transferred/stolen from that friends cameraphone and found its way to the fine folks at TMZ.

Jeff @ NOW2K

It's Like A Train Wreck...You Want To Look Away, But You CAN'T!!!

Even Keenan Cahill (that weird little dude who's become known on the internet for his "interesting" lip sync versions of popular songs) is thinking to himself, "What...the...f***...?"

I don't know who THIS guy is, but I know this much: You will NEVER be able to listen to this song again without thinking of him.

Yikes.

Jeff @ NOW2K

The New MJ & Akon Vid

I added the new single from Michael Jackson & Akon, called "Hold My Hand" into the NOW2K rotation this week. The video hit the net today...check it out:

So...what do you think?

HOLY SHITBALLS MOM!!!

I've always been a big fan of Michael Buble; not only is he a fellow Canadian, but he's an awesome guy! He's funny, friendly...and a helluva singer. But as this video clip proves, he's also a VERY classy dude.

Let me set the scene for you: Mom brings her 15 year old son to a Michael Buble concert in England & manages to score some sweet seats. She manages to convince Buble to bring her son up on stage because "he wants to be a singer". I'll let the clip tell the rest of the story:

Wow. Or, as Buble puts it so eloquently, "Holy Shitballs Mom!"

I get the feeling we'll be hearing A LOT from this kid in the future.

Dead Celebs Come Back To Life!!!

Remember last week when I told you about the celebrities who decided to "digitally die" until $1 Million was raised for children with AIDS? Well, they reached their goal...but not without difficulty.

As of Saturday, they'd only raised about $250,000 and as of 5pm yesterday (December 6) they'd only reached $500,000...so where did the rest of the cash come from?

This guy:

And who is he? He's Stewart Rahr, a New York City billionaire who made his fortune from pharmaceuticals and who is known for his Snooki-esque tan and large philanthropic donations. Rahr gave $500,000 to Keep a Child Alive on Monday night.

Thank God...now we can get back to our regularily scheduled Kim Kardashian Twitter rants & raves.

God Bless The USA...and Katy Perry

I make no secret of the fact that I'm a HUGE fan of Katy Perry...and I'm also a fan of celebs who do cool stuff for a good cause.

This is a photo from Katy Perry's appearance at "The USO Presents VH1 Divas Salute The Troops" on Friday night.

I'm no military expert, but I think Katy may have just singlehandedly won the war.

Uh Oh...Hackers Hit Celebs Computers!

There's a distinct possibilty that some rather "revealing" pictures might be hitting the internet in the next few days.

Apparently a pair of Geman computer hackers managed to raid the computers of more than 50 different pop stars, including Justin Timberlake, Lady GaGa and several others.

The pair's haul allegedly includes several unreleased songs by various artists and a photo of Ke$ha having sex - which they tried to blackmail her with (according to a report by UK newspaper "The Telegraph"). The pair, who haven't been charged with any crime yet, used Trojans to access the computers.

The pair - who bragged about their exploits in several on-line forums - came to the attention of authorities after fans warned Kelly Clarkson that unreleased songs of hers were available on the internet.

They Only Need Another $750,000...A Little Help?

Hmmm...seems like this idea might have backfired.

Earlier in the week, I told you about several celebrities (including Lady GaGa, Alicia Keys, Kim Kardashian, Ryan Seacrest, Justin Timberlake and many more) who "died" in an effort to raise money for the "Keep A Child Alive" campaign as a part of Worlds AIDS Day.

In a nutshell, they all stopped using their Twitter & Facebook accounts and said they wouldn't be back until $1 Million was raised.

Well, as of this afternoon (Saturday, December 4), according to a ticker on the BuyLife.org website, less than $250,000 had been raised.

Could it be that people are just happy to have people like Kim Kardashian off Twitter?

Whoops.
