A Charlotte, NC real estate investor group has announced that they will name a 5-unit building on the East side of town after legendary Stern show guest Blue Iris.

The building will be named “Blue Iris Villas” and a dedication will take place in June. Blue Iris was a popular Stern show guest who left us too soon.

Blue always made us laugh with her self-deprecating humor and trademark “mmmmyyeeaaaaah.” Her phony phone calls were classics, and we mourn her passing.

The 5-unit building located on Academy Street in Charlotte, NC will proudly display a 4′x3′ sign: “Blue Iris Villas.”




A dedication will take place on Wednesday, June 24 at 4pm:
1436 Academy St
Charlotte, NC 28205

I have previously commented on Robin’s “hook, line, and sinker” adoption of the cult of Dr. Roni’s fad diet — that there are only 2 possibilities:

1. Robin is somehow “on the take” and receiving compensation from Dr. Roni
2. Robin is a fucking idiot

After today’s show, when Robin announced that kidney stones aren’t hereditary, I am heavily leaning towards option #2. Medical science says that can heredity play a role in the development of kidney stones. Baba Booey’s situation only confirms this : his mother has had multiple stones.

Robin is certainly correct that behavior can exacerbate the situation, but her new cultish approach to any medical questions is just absurd. Because she has lost a bunch of weight by drinking green shakes for a year, she now believes she is some sort of health authority, when in fact, she is a quasi-celebutard, at best.

It’s finally over. The milk toast, unoriginal Jay Leno said farewell to the Tonight Show yesterday, making way for Conan O’Brien, who will take over in June.

Leno hasn’t written an original joke since the 1980s, but he’s convinced we all are dying for more of his wonderful brand of humor, and will be moving to primetime in September. This means he’ll be going up against shows like CSI Miami. Whether or not Jay succeeds will prove once and for all whether his ratings successes were due to the historical popularity of The Tonight Show, or to his unique “talent.”

Nobody in their right mind would argue that Jay is funnier than Letterman, Conan, or even Carrot Top, so there’s little doubt in my mind that Jay will be fading into obscurity sooner than later.

Who came up with the idea to play matchmaker for Lisa G on the air? Seriously. I could not possibly be less interested in the dating habits of a gross almost-50-something yenta.

Are there really enough desperate middle-aged guys in New York to create a large enough dating pool for this hag? I would think that most eligible males in Manhattan would prefer to date someone who either is slightly more attractive than Lisa G (or, better said, almost any other chick who weighs less than 200 pounds), or with just a tad more personality (which leaves every female on the face of the earth).

I just don’t get it. I’d rather hear about Robin’s coffee enemas.

So, Sabean finished his 21-day “detox” and lost a bunch of weight. Great. And then Baba Booey asked him what any normal human would … what will you eat for your first solid meal?

But apparently that type of curiosity isn’t welcomed by the Kool-Aid-drinking Dr. Roni disciples. Robin lost her shit, and snapped at poor Gary.

There’s no question that much of America is grotesquely fat — too much fast food, too little veggies and exercise. But this Dr. Roni “detox” schtick smells like a bad pyramid scheme. The participants have that glazed-over mind-numb way about them and the architect herself is a full-of-shit schlockster. Dr. Roni isn’t a doctor. She has a fake PhD from the Clayton School of Natural Healing. But you bet she’ll sell you some shit. Just go to her website and break out that credit card!

One has to wonder if Robin has some sort of financial interest in Dr. Roni’s bullshit empire. She’s basically running the Amway of diets. But hell, at 200 bucks a pop for a 3-week supply of those shakes, there’s quite a profit margin.

I just get a little suspicious when some soft-spoken bitch with a fake degree starts peddling expensive veggie drinks and acting as if she knows some big mysterious secret to life that the rest of us poor non-detoxing souls do not.

Like they said in Watergate, “follow the money.” I’ll bet Robin is on the take.

Benjy announced yesterday that he thinks he’s “really good looking.” Now, I’m not one discourage high self-esteem, but this is a little nuts.

Let’s look at the vitals. Fat? Check. Balding? Check. Blotchy skin? Check. Jagged, chiclet-esque teeth? Check. Am I missing something? And in his mind, this is “really good looking?” Christ, by those standards, I’m Brad fucking Pitt!

It’s always difficult to tell when or if Benjy is being serious, but if this is one of those rare instances, then he might need to be institutionalized.

Film at 11 … the Pope is Catholic, bears shit in the forest, and Robin Quivers is a narcissist.

Robin took the narcissism quiz and scored a 34! To put this in perspective, the average score is 15 among “regular” people and 18 among celebrities. A score of 34 is off the charts, and puts her in the 99th percentile among assholes narcissists.

Robin is a lightning rod among fans, and while I don’t always share that sentiment about her, this particular piece of evidence is quite damning for Ms. $800 wine. And I liked how she threw in that she suddenly wants kids, to ostensibly prove to us that she actually does have a soul.

What’s that saying about heroin addicts? … they’re either using, in recovery, or dead.

Hmm.

Well, Artie isn’t in recovery. And he isn’t dead. So….

I don’t want to write yet another “Artie’s on drugs” blog, but of all the times the fans have wondered whether Artie is really sober, this time there’s not much doubt. He’s using.

I watched the “Artie’s nodding” episode on Howard TV, and the first thought that crossed my mind was of the people I’ve seen on “Intervention” (the best show on TV) right after using. I especially remember one episode with a lesbian from an über-Christian family. They got her on camera “nodding” several times, and other than a salt & pepper beard & and extra 200 pounds, she’s almost indistinguishable from Artie.

But as long as the fat fuck makes it to March 20 (I’ve got tickets to see him in Clearwater, FL), it’s all good by me.

There had been rumors for months that one or more of the 3rd party developers who wrote desktop software (i.e. StarPlayr) were developing iPhone apps.  But recently, those suddenly were shelved.  Now we know why:

Sirius XM (NSDQ: SIRI) Radio will seek to expand its audience by launching an iPhone application next quarter, which will be available to Sirius’ “19 million subscribers and to Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) Inc’s 7 million U.S. iPhone users” reports Reuters. It’s also available for iPod Touch users. “This is a large and interesting opportunity that will maintain our subscription-based economics while providing customers easier access to our content through means other than our traditional satellite-based platform,” Sirius President of Operations and Sales Jim Meyer said on a call with analysts.

Hmm.  Given its financial woes, it’s not entirely surprising that Sirius has suddenly decided to muscle out the 3rd party folks to release its own iPhone app.  Undoubtedly this app will cost money, I’m guessing $9.99 or so.  But since I have Sirius stock (that I bought for like $4/share way back when), I guess this is good news/bad news.

Take a gander at these lookers.  You might think this is the afternoon shift at your local “Game Stop.”  Nope.  It’s Scott the Engineer’s kid & his band.

Sadly, Scott’s kid (3rd from the left) isn’t even the ugliest of the bunch.  I’d bestow that honor on the chubby dude on the far right with the bad hair and overgrown chin sugars.

You have to hand it to Scott the Engineer.  He really busts his ass to help his kid.  Even if these guys had a half-decent image, the odds of making it in the music biz are slim these days.  But man, if you’re chubby and balding at 23, seems your odds just got longer.

Maybe instead of making music, a couple of these guys could join in Dr. Roni’s liquid diet & colonics.
