Hey Alice people,

I’m on the daily gossip hunt for all you lovely listeners. Today’s gems include more skeezy Jon Gosselin news and Tv star salaries.

So as I reported to you yesterday, Jon Gosselin has been downgraded to regular appearences on TlC’s newly named Kate Plus 8. Well, shmarmball that Gosselin is decides to delay his divorce proceedings by 90 days. Can we say that reconciling for children is one thing but reconciling to cushion his piggy bank is another. Likewise, Gosselin definitely does NOT need to be hanging out with Lindsay Lohan’s father Michael Lohan. Reportedly the two are hanging out and talking about creating a show entitled “The Divorced Dads Club.” Every time I hear stories about the parents in the Gosselin family I just can’t help but hope those kids survive unscathed.

Also, People released celebrity salaries today. The award of highest paid goes to Charlie Sheen for starring in Two and a Half Men. He gets a whopping $850,000 per episode. I don’t even really know anyone who watches that show, but good for him. Rounding out the top paid men is Keifer Sutherland ($550,000 for 24), Hugh Laurie ($400,000 for House) and Christopher Meloni ($400,000 for Law & Order:SVU). What boggles my mind about this report is that the girls on the Hills earn more money than award winning Mad Men star Jon Hamm. I doubt Don Draper would except some silly socialite making money than him. Hamm earns $75,000 in comparison to the $100,000 that Audrina Patridge and Lauren “Lo” Bosworth earn and the $125,000 that Lauren Conrad was earning. Crazy if you ask me.

I will be back later this week with more juicy celebrity gossip.

Hey Alice People,

Time for some Alice pop culture gossip.

I’m sad to report that Jon Gosselin of Jon & Kate Plus 8 fame is officially leaving the television show. Apparently all his philandering off the show forced producers to eliminate his participation. TLC will be renaming the show “Kate plus 8.” In related news, Kate Gosselin recently shot a pilot for her talk show. The plus 8 kids are so adorable, I hope they make it through this stronger and wiser.

In other TV news, Simon Cowell and Fox have almost finalized their deals to bring the UK show singing competition show, The X Factor, to American televisions. The show differs from American Idol by dividing the singing groups into categories based on age and sex, the winners would still be chosen by viewers. Interestingly, Paula Abdul, recently replaced on Idol by Ellen Degeneres, might be tapped to be a judge on The X Factor.

They can still love each other on the X Factor!

Poor Gwen Stefani. Apparently while touring in Singapore this past week, her London home was burglarized. Fortunately the burglars weren’t able to get much more than jewelry, but still a bummer for the Stefani-Rossdale clan.

That’s all I have for now!

Hey Everyone,

Marcus and I (Intern Kelly) were just talking about how MTV only plays videos late at night. Does anyone know of a website that allows you to choose your own videos to create a one-of-a-kind streaming video channel? Please enlighten me! Anyway, I am going to show you some videos of Now & Zen artists, just imagine that they’re playing all in a row.

In case anyone has forgotten just how awesome Dashboard Confessional is, here is a refresher, courtesy of the single “Screaming Infidelities.”

Ok, when Howie Day’s first album “Australia” came out I was obsessed with the song “She Says.” So much so that I’d listen to it on repeat for long periods of time. Anyway, the song is so good. Totally stoked for Howie’s set on Sunday. Watch this video in the mean time.

Now, for the headlining San Francisco residents, here’s Train’s Drops of Jupiter.

Hey everybody,

This is Kelly, not Marcus, the new programming intern at Alice. Just thought I would say hey and share this awesome picture of Icky getting his head shaved by Billie Joe from Green Day. I don’t know about shaving my head, but I am totally jealous.

I am so excited to be doing this internship, just wanted to thank all the Alice listeners who make this radio station possible, I love you.

Also, just for fun: look at Lady Gaga, she’s certainly a special brand of fashion-crazy.
