NO MORE TALKIE WHILE DRIVEY
If you're guilty of using your cell phone while driving, check it out! Even if you think you're doing the right thing by going hands-free...
Police chiefs in British Columbia want our province to ban drivers from using cell phones and hands-free devices while behind the wheel. The president of the BC association of Chiefs of Police, Bill McKinnon (from Kelowna), says research shows cell phone use only leaves half of a driver's attention on the road and that includes speaker phones and headsets.
OK, I understand holding the cell phone should be banned, and texting OBVIOUSLY... but hands-free? Is that going a little far? Should we be banned from talking to our passengers too, then? What about listening to the radio or music? More importantly... SUN FM! I predict a lot of tickets in my future...

3 STOOGES DROP OUT!
It was going to be one of the most anticipated movies ever and Sean Penn was supposed to star in it. Now he's dropped out!
Penn reportedly quit the film and another one to take some time off and work on his family. In April, he and his wife, Robin Wright Penn, filed for divorce for the second time. Then they called it off for the second time... He does need to work on his marriage though, that's for sure!
So Sean, if you quit movies - fine- just don't you go quitting your marriage again!

BAM CHIKA BOW BOW
Jada Pinkett shares the secret to her happy marriage to actor, Will Smith. By DOING IT anywhere and everywhere! But she says it a little more eloquently...
Jada tells RedBook magazine, "Be sneaky... your girlfriend's house at a party. The bathroom. A bedroom." (I bet her girlfriends are THRILLED to read this.)
"Think of places that are comfortable outside to have sex. Does he have access to his office? Have a fantasy date. Be his secretary! Pull over on the side of the road... In the dumpster!" (OK I made that last one up...) "Just switch it up! Anything like that can keep it going. Anything it takes to keep the flame alive."
Like from the song YEAH by Usher, "Lady in the street but a freak in the bed!" WAIT--- don't take marriage advice from Usher...

AND THE NEWEST CELEBRITY FEUD IS...
Heidi and Spencer Pratt VS: Al Roker.
Speidi were interviewed by the weatherman on the Today Show this morning and he didn't exactly treat them with respect. In fact, he was straight-up rude, cutting them off, and putting words in their mouth. You might say Mr. and Mrs. Pratt deserved it for the way they acted on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Outta Here!but Al is supposed to be a professional.
You decide!

After the interview, the reality TV show couple talked to Bryan Seabass and Spencer said, "I'm still trying to figure out, was the weatherman asking us questions?" HA, that's so true. Why the hell does Al talk to anyone?
Heidi added that he made her cry saying, "I was shocked at how rude he was - I was crying afterwards because I couldn't believe I felt personally attacked. I wanted to say to him, do you feel proud of how you're talking to me right now? I'm just a young woman and you're coming at me so aggressively and meanly and mean-spirited. I really would advise women especially to be careful around him because I feel like he definitely came and attacked me and I did not appreciate that at all."
Ummm... Meanly? Is that even a word? And maybe Al was so rude because he was hungry??
Seriously, people need to realize that when they react to Speidi like that it only makes them richer and more famous. Those two know what they're doing... so Al needs to calm down, have a slice of birthday cake, and act like those two don't phase him. Or maybe stick to talking about warm fronts and cumulonimbus clouds!

WHERE'S WALDO? AT THE MOVIE THEATRE.
Where's Waldo is an award-winning book with a captivating plot, breathtaking animation, and characters that will fill your heart with joy and your eyes with tears. It's no wonder Universal Pictures is turning that magic into a live-action movie.
Seriously?? Ugh.I'm getting really annoyed at Hollywood for not making an live-action Jem and the Holograms movie by now. Come on, I mean Where's Waldo? Really? Is he even close to being truly, truly, truly outrageous? I don't THINK SO!
And if you tell me there already is a live-action Jem movie and that it's called Hannah Montana, I will sing-off you. It doesn't even compare. You don't even KNOW!

CHINA IS GROUNDED
As of today, Twitter, Hotmail, YouTube, Flikr, Blogger, Wordpress, Bing, and Live.com are all blocked in China. What did they do? Miss curfew? Get caught with a Mike's Hard Lemonade?
Be thankful you live in a country where you have the freedom to go onto websites and tell the world that you just ate a grape... or whatever you do. Like this guy! (He makes Soulja Boy look like a lyrical genius...)
Also, be thankful you live in a country where you can be a less-than-average, overweight, white kid who can write a lame song about Twitter, record it in your parent's basement, make an equally lame video, put it on YouTube, and make money from it on iTunes.
Oh the land of dreams...

90210 STAR KIDNAPPED AS A CHILD
It has been revealed today that 90210 actress Shenae Grimes was kidnapped as a child!
When she was in grade 4, Shenae and her friend, Carolyn, were taken by the father of one of their friends (not friends anymore...). He told them he would drive them home from school one day but continued to drive them around the city of Toronto for 6 hours. The two girls were told they weren't allowed to use the phone as the man drove around meeting up with people. When she could, Shenae took a chance and fled from the vehicle to call her parents. When the police arrived, they found illegal weapons and drugs in the trunk. Aweee, that's so traumatizing!
I'm not even making this up when I say this probably could have happened to me and my friend, Lindsay, growing up. We were in grade 3 and going door-to-door trying to raise money for "Jump Rope for Heart" when a man opened the door. There were like young 5 kids running around inside and he shut the door on them and told us to come to his truck so he could get money. When he climbed into the vehicle, instead of grabbing money, he pulled out some cinnamon gum and asked us if we wanted to chew gum with him. I was like, "OH HELL NO!" and then he told us he didn't have money for us anymore. We booked it home after that!
And the only reason I knew what to do is because of these two lifesavers, Bert & Gert:
PLEASE tell me you remember those commercials and it wasn't just an Alberta thing!!

WEIRDEST E-MAIL EVER!
Today I read on the air an e-mail I received from a listener, Rick. It was confusing to say the least! I wasn't sure if he was being nice, sarcastic, rude, or WHAT??
Check it out:
Hi Bri,
Well I finaly thought I would look your bio up and see if the face matches the voice.
No !
Sorry.
I was expecting short hair (dark), a "pug" nose, freckled faced girl. Not the "goddess" in the bio picture. I guess "radio is like a box of chocolates, you never know what ya gunna get".
Now help dispell my final myth.
I think you, sorry to say, can eat like a horse. I hope I have not offended you. But please email me a picture with you eating a salad or a whole turkey. Or maybe both.
Thanks Rick
WEIRD RIGHT?? Is he calling me fat, skinny, or does he have some creepy fetish? LOL.
After I read it on the air Daniel and Chris e-mailed me their thoughts...
Daniel:
Wow, Bri... a guy who wants photographic evidence of you eating things?
I think you found your very own Tanner P!
(Ha, I love it... that's a Bachelorette joke! Tanner P is a creeper on the show who tricks Jillian into taking off her shoes so he can secretly check out her feet...)
Chris:
so i waking up this am and you were on..i leave my radio on low for backgroudn noise as i sleep anyhow i digress and ramble... you spoke of this crazy E-mail you got..as you read it i find myself going Jesus..is this guy Mental..or something...after the mail was read in it's full length i found myself laughing (im sorry lol) but it was just an incredible cluster *explotive deleted* of stupid things writen in 1 dumb message..
I mean something about eating like a Horse or some crazz jazz like that... but he touches on 1 point id like to talk about..(i'll try to keep this short for you)
I've been online many years now and you meet people in various areas of the internet chat rooms etc etc..game sites blah blah...and you form your own idea of what said person should look like...and then you see and your like omg what the hell who beat you with the ugly stick..(this is male and female im refering to i will keep it fair for both sexes) but you my dear...when i hear you on the radio and go she has a nice voice and then i go look up the bio picture...the reacation i get is 1 you may reconize....if i may quote..
"Dear Diary..Jackpot" espcialy with the "face for radio jokes out there..saying only ugly people do radio" so anyhow what im saying is your an exception to that rule as your quite attractive..and that guy was smoking something a lil to crazy i hope you can get my point i tried to get across in this long winded message..lol if not sorry
Take care Bri..pleasure listening to your show
Hari also called me to give his thoughts on the e-mail. He said it sounds like Rick has a fetish for girls who like to have big appetites and that it's super creepy. But he thinks Rick is complimenting me in his own strange way... I still don'tk know what to think!
I'm hoping Rick just has a random sense of humour that unintentionally comes across in really, really creepy way and that he's not expecting that picture. Hahaha, but it was hilarious! (As long as he's not serious...)
I'm going to have to be careful while eating in public from now often... just in case there's a weirdo with a camera waiting for a good shot of me stuffing my face. Ha ha.
Stay UNcreepy! ;-) xoxo

CANADA'S NEXT TOP MODEL DROP-OUT
Lots of drama on the premiere episode of the 3rd season of Canada's Next Top Model last night.
Alexandra McCallum, of Penticton, quit the show after the first photo shoot complaining of injuries due to a car accident prior to filming.
After I mentioned this on the air today, I got a phone call from an "anonymous friend" of Alexandra who insists she fabricated the whole thing. She claims the aspiring model didn't receive medical attention, nor was she put on any pain medication for her accident, "therefore it couldn't have been that bad." She added that Alexandra's facebook is flooded with pictures of her "clubbing in heels" which she didn't believe was possible if she couldn't handle a photo shoot in heels.
That sparked a debate on whether or not she dropped out of the competition because she really was in pain or if there was some other secretive reason...
But there are 2 sides to every story...
Then, Alexandra's sister, Jessica, called me to set the record straight:
Note to self: NEVER go on reality television. How many times have you heard the same story? 15 minutes of fame can cost you a lifetime of scrutiny... and in Alexandra's case, she didn't even get 15 minutes! It was more like 5.
Editing is a beach.
