It's just a little slow in Radio right now. That's why I have time to report Jersey Shore's Snooki (Nicole Polizzi) visited
The Opie & Anthony show on SIRIUS XM Wednesday. While on-the-air, she addressed Radar Online rumors that she is pregnant.

"Does that mean they're calling me fat?...Radar Online says the craziest things," responded Polizzi. Opie followed up: "So you're saying no to this, obviously?"
"No. And, obviously, they're calling me fat, so I hate you Radar," responded Snooki.
Opie & Anthony can be heard weekdays beginning at 6 a.m. ET on SiriusXM's "Opie & Anthony Channel" (XM 105, Sirius 206). For more information visit this page at SiriusXM.

Here's a weird story out of Granite City, Illinois, from
bnd.com. Brett L. Nash was in federal court earlier this week. It seems he tried to recruit a buddy to help him rob an elderly man. The plan was to lure the senior citizen using his wife, carjack him, hold the guy hostage while he wrote checks, then kill him.
How was the killing to go down? Nash and his accomplice were going to put the victim in a Jacuzzi and electrocute him by throwing a radio into it. Then, they were going to add a cat to make it look like the feline had knocked the radio into the Jacuzzi.
Nash was arraigned on charges of "interference of commerce by threats of violence." I think it's obvious this guy should never be allowed near a radio or cat again.
