The Q92 Morning Crew

What a night for 300 Club Q Rock Stars last night at the Dante Club with Q92’s Super Bowl Party. Thanks to Budweiser, Bigguy’s Jerseys and Sportswear, Pepsi and the Dante Club for helping throw a great party.

What a game it was too! A huge upset as the Giants keep the Patriots from finishing their perfect season. But enough about that…

Show me the Super Bowl commercials! At $2.7 million per 30 second spot, here they are:

And one of MY favourites:

When asked about their religious beliefs, some Canadians penciled in Jediism in the latest Canadian Census.

It’s no joke.

Star Wars fans are joining together - light sabres and all - to share in the values expressed in the George Lucas films.

We talked to John the Jedi from Texas this morning - he’s a believer in The Force. I didn’t know what to expect when we called him up. And you know what…I was pretty impressed. John was a really sweet guy, not an odd bird at all.

…And just for fun…have you seen this one? The poor kid in this video has been teased online quite a bit. Maybe more than ‘a bit’…it’s been viewed more than 4 million times!

A 16 year old guy from Australia threw a party while his parents were away on vacation. Nothing strange about that, right?

…Until things got out of hand…dun dun dunnnnnnnn….

Here’s the whole hilarious story.

Have you seen her new show on CBC? Wednesday nights at 8:30. 

In the National Post, Timmins’ own Natalie Brown writes about her transition from the North to stardom. See? Shania Twain isn’t the only celebrity to come from this city.

Mark, a New York City comedian, needed a place to stay while his apartment was being fumigated for cockroaches.

He considered crashing at a friend’s or staying in a hotel…but in the end, Mark made IKEA his home away from home.

What store would you pick to live in for a week? Shawn’s pick is Walmart because it has pretty much anything you’d need on it’s shelves. Now that our local Walmart is open 24hours a day, Shawn, you can make that dream a reality!

As for me, if the store has a hot tub, I’m there!

While American shows are in reruns because of the ongoing writer’s strike, CBC is offering up a bunch of new programming to watch.

 One of the shows premiering this week is Sophie.

And the best part? The lead character, Sophie, is played by Timmins’ own, Natalie Brown!

 Check out Natalie on CBC tonight at 8:30!

 Here’s a sneak-peak!

 …And how’s that resolution going? Email me and Shawn and let us know what you plan to do differently this year!

Well what is that expression again? You can take the girls out of the trailer park, but you can’t take the trailer park out of the girls? Yep, that’s the one.

Jamie Lynn Spears, Britney’s 16 year old baby sister is PREGNANT. OK! Magazine reports that she’s three months’ pregnant, and the father is her longtime boyfriend 19 year old Casey Aldridge.

Wow. She’s SIXTEEN! He’s NINETEEN! (Could constitute statutory rape is U.S.) Also, her mother, Lynn Spears was about to publish a novel about parenting in the spring - now delayed indefinately. Ya think?

I can already hear Chris Crocker (*Warning: Explicit Language) now… “LEAVE JAMIE LYNN ALONE!!!”

It’s been a little over a day since the “Greatest Rock Band” performed their first full concert in almost 2 decades and the rumours continue to fly about a possible tour. The latest rumour is that they’ll do three shows in New York in 2008. I wish they would stop keeping us in suspense and just tell us yes or no already!

If you want to live the O2 concert vicariously through poor quality handheld videos with distorted sound from those lucky enough to be at the show, there are plenty on YouTube to chose from:

• Kashmir

• Whole Lotta Love

• Good Times, Bad Times

• Black Dog

• Stairway to Heaven

• Since I’ve Been Loving You

• Crowd after the first encore.

If you find some more, post the link here for all to see.
