So, CBS is still suing Howard Stern after he left to join Sirius Radio. Seems they want money because, while still on the air for CBS he spoke about Sirius and CBS feels the relentless plugging, amounted to stealing airtime. They are also upset that Stern got a $200 million bonus from Sirius because they hit a certain subscriber goal early. CBS is upset they did not know about this. Now, while still on the air CBS could have taken him off for the infractions… umm no, that would have put them without any airtime options. Now if their choice as a replacement for Stern, David lee Roth, was broadcasting to more then 3 people everyday, they might not have even continued this suit.


OK…American Idol fans…the whole Taylor shaking Chris’ hand controversy? No controversy…just producers messing:
Laura Saltman writes this for Access Hollywood's "Idol Insider":
"Don't think Taylor picking the "safe" group was of his own accord. During the commercial break, Executive Producer, Nigel Lythgoe, filled Taylor in on the fake-out handshake to Chris Daughtry and which group to choose. It turns out Nigel doesn't know who is going to be eliminated. He is kept in the dark until the very end. The only thing he knows is which three contestants are in the bottom three. He let out a huge gasp when Ace's name was called."


Go here to see the incredible commercial that PETA tried to run during the Super Bowl. There is the original and an uncensored version…make sure the kiddies are out of the room when you watch.

So, you win $35 million in the lottery…you are about to get divorced…the divorce settlement called for him to pay $5.25 million in alimony, $1 million in child support for his son…and an unspecified amount to support a child he sired with his SISTER-IN-LAW…(hummm…Wondering why he was getting divorced!) Great…all his problems are solved…right? Aren’t they? Ummm…of course not, or why would I even post this...well it seems he got into a confrontation with the cops this past week and was ordered to drop his gun. Well, he did not and moved “in a threatening manner.” So, now he lies in a hospital in Orlando.

RIDDLE ME THIS KIDDIES…cops says drop it or stop or get on the ground…why would you not react immediately…sheesh
