LeRoi Moore (1961-2008) Dave Matthews Band Saxaphonist LeRoi Moore died yesterday from injuries he suffered during an ATV accident at his Virginia farm on June 30th.  He's credited with arranging many of the band's songs and was key in producing DMB's jazz-influenced sound.  We'll miss your chops LeRoi, "everyday" you were the "best of what's around."

After Wisconsin's twin Gynmastic studs, the Hamm brothers, had to withdraw from competition, the US Men's team were largely considered young pup rookies.  IN YOUR FACE critics...they took the Bronze Tuesday afternoon (last night for us) in the team competiton. Pictured are Raj Bhavsar (left) and Jonathan Horton, both of Houston. Tue, 12 Aug 2008 10:51:00 EDT http://1051charlie.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2573178 R.I.P. Isaac Hayes (1942-2008) You fill in the funky guitar and backbeat. Sex machine to all the chicks.  Check.  Risk his own neck for his brother man? Check.  One bad mother?  Shut your mouth. Much respect to the man who influenced much of the music we hear today.   Mon, 11 Aug 2008 10:40:00 EDT http://1051charlie.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2566226 Yippie!

Are one of the Olsen Twins connected to Heath Ledger's untimley passing? Prosecutors looking into Heath's death want to know if Mary-Kate was the person who supplied him with some painkillers.  She's pleading the 5th.  If she is hiding something, it's not behind her.  The girl is too skinny.

Morgan Freeman is pretty banged up after rolling his car in Mississippi. It was an accident, and he wasn't boozin',  He's got a broken arm, elbow and shoulder and they had to use the Jaws of Life to open the car.  Hey Morgan, I know  you said "get busy livin', or get busy dying," but you still have a ton of yet-to-be-made movies to narrate.   You haven't finished your Bucket List yet.

People Magazine outbid Charlie's offering price of $10 for the first pics, so you have to hit a grocery store to find them. In other news, you still have to pay taxes, go to work and listen to your annoying boss today. All the Brangelina baby pics in the world won't fix that.

They've already recorded "Another Way to Die," for the movie "Quantam of Solace."  Never before has there been a duet for the new theme song.

Living nightmare Amy-I'm-A Wino-house is just like the Energizer Bunny.  She just keeps on going.  This time, she was hospitalized in a London Hospital overnight because ofa reaction to her medication. I think I've had a similar reaction while drinking too much Southern Comfort.

While on the sauce, Shia LaBeouf rolled his pickup truck early Sunday morning after making a left turn in Hollywood.  He banged up his right hand and two of his friends.  Way to go kid.  Since you have a cigarette bust and now a DWI, why not go for a trip to rehab for the trifecta!

In typical child performer fashion, she says its time to start separating herself from the kid friendly, yet headache inducing Hannah Montana.  The new album out next week is all Miley, no Hannah. The former childhood star countdown sequence to self destructive behavior is on.  T-minus 5...4...3...

He's clearly not eating Taco Bell, but he's P-O'd because they came up with an ad that asks the rapper to change his name to 99 Cent.  Here comes a good suing. Hey 50, maybe you should counter in an with that chihuahua and say something like "Yo quiero Imodium AD" after eating at Taco Hell.

Some time ago, Leno said he was retiring and handing the show off to the far funnier Conan O'Brien.  Now, Leno says he might be working at deal with ABC to challenge Conan and The Tonight Show.  Give a guy some chin and cheek implants and he thinks he can stay on TV forever.   Tue, 22 Jul 2008 10:58:00 EDT http://1051charlie.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2459356 No Friends In Low Places Tony Romo dater, Jessica Simpson got the big thumbs down from country music fans in Wisconsin. She <a href="http://www.kenoshanews.com/article_comments/view_comments.php?articleNum=3262605" target="_blank">performed her first country gig ever</a> at Country Thunder in Randall on Saturday night and got booed.  Next time Jess, use the country music formula for success.  Pickup truck + momma + old dog + trains + gettin drunk + prison = country hit song.

The Dark Knight is out and the early buzz is that Heath Ledger as The Joker is top shelf. Charlie will make the early prediction that he's going to at least get an Oscar nomination.  That, or a career montage at the awards next year. Based on the midnight show sellouts on Friday, there's also rumors that it may have the biggest opening weekend ever!

Page (center) was busted in upstate New York last week when police found him and two women in an apartment with some white powdery and green-smokey illegal items.  So, that's how those crazy Canadians get their party on.   I wonder if the women were barenaked too?

OK, I know Brett is not to completely blame for all this DRAMA...but enough is enough.  Please make this story go away.  Please, please, please, please and please! I cannot take it anymore. I beg of you.  I appeal to your most human emotions. If they don't make it stop, we may have to resort to drastic measures.

Let's see...newborns Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline make it a total of six kids...three boys, three girls.  Did someone watch too much Brady Bunch growing up?  Mon, 14 Jul 2008 11:46:00 EDT http://1051charlie.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2414996 9021....Blows If you haven't heard yet, there's a new version of the sappy, teen, crap-o-drama 90210 coming back to the airwaves on the CW network. Here's the saucy details you haven't heard:  Like, Tori totally got dissed, but Shannen fer sure is in.  OMG!  There might even be an appearance by Jennie too! Ahhhh.  After such a long void since the original went off air, our life has meaning once again.

Whazzup with the pineapple shirt?  He was seen picking it up from the cleaner last week.  Is it time for a Jimmy Buffett party or what?!

Red in the head Baby Mamma Nicole Kidman says she needs to mellow out when she's giving birth, so her husband's country music won't be played while the new kid is coming into the world.   She says she prefers the music of flautist James Galaway instead.  She's not even giving the kid a chance to be cool from the start!  Tue, 1 Jul 2008 14:21:00 EDT http://1051charlie.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2349385 Come See Amy, Get Punched In The Face Oooooh.  Just when you thought it couldn't get any lower.  <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7479715.stm" target="_blank">Check out the vid</a> of Amy Winehouse punching a fan, then dribbling out the lyrics to "Rehab" at the Glastonbury Festival in England on Saturday. This isn't just a sinking ship, this is the Titanic.  Mental Note: Out of fear, avert eyes from Amy Winehouse.

Jazzy Jeff's BFF WIll Smith says he's not into the Tom Cruise culty-thing.  Smith and his hottie wifey Jada Pinkett-Smith are opening a school in the fall, which some think may be the candy to lure kids into the L. Ron Hubbard world.  Some dumbo media guy heard Pinkett-Smith say they would study using technology, which they thought meant Scientology. Sure Will, we believe you.  (chant with me) We believe you. We believe you. Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:04:00 EDT http://1051charlie.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2341969 Reuben Sandwich, Hold The Interesting 14:57...14:58...14:50...15:00. Apologies to our big bellied American Idol winner Reuben Stoddard, but your 15 minutes of fame are up.  Actually, weren't they up like three years ago? Despite the short term publicity from the weekend hitching, we bid you adieu Mr. Sandwich.  Can we finally stick a fork in American Idol too? Mon, 30 Jun 2008 11:51:00 EDT Robot or Ripoff? Anyone remember movie Short Circuit from the 80's? Disney-Pixar's new effort to get your kids to complain enough that you end up taking them to WALL-E and buy up their merchandise comes in a rather familiar form.  WALL-E looks suspiciously like the Johnny 5. In any case, we have to be careful with this kind of technology.  It's ok to love your robots, just don't "love" your robots.

The band never stopped playing "Indian Outlaw". And as if on cue, McGraw stepped to the mic and picks up with the line "I ain't lookin' for trouble ... " Nice shooting Cowboy!

We'll give it a shot.  #$*!, *#*!, #!*%, #*@&, !*$#@*$&#!$, $*!@#, !*$!@.  We'll miss you George.  Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:11:00 EDT http://1051charlie.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2301956 Train Wreck du jour Amy Winehouse's father said over the weekend that she has emphysema and her lungs have been damaged from smoking crack and cigarettes.  Well DUH! Did you think they were gonna improve your health? Mental note: No more hanging out with Amy Winehouse.
