So…Coldplay’s Chris Martin will make a cameo on the Simpsons to celebrate their 20th anniversary. Any YOU can design the character! Click here for info.

Hey Alice Listeners,

The weather is pretty crazy out there, everyone be careful. Already the Chronicle has reported 200 traffic incidents as well as 18,000 were without power in some parts of the Bay. I’d recommend not driving unless necessary. Statewide road information is available at 1-800-427-7623. Also, for any power outage news, go here. There’s definitely high gusty winds out there expected to possibly hit 75 MPH, so be careful. Here’s some gossip to keep you warm:

The American Music Award nominations were announced today. Taylor Swift definitely made the most nominations with six in total. In an interesting twist here, Swift, Beyonce and Lady Gaga were nominated for the Best Female in Pop/Rock category. I say interesting because of their connections to the VMA’s Swiftgate debacle. Kanye interrupted Swift to praise Beyonce and then cancelled his tour with Lady Gaga after the backlash. I kinda want Kanye to be in attendance at the words, despite not having been nominated, only because the kinds of hijinks that would occur would be great television. Artist of the year nominees: Michael Jackson, Kings of Leon, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Eminem. The awards show will broadcast on ABC on November 22.

Keep warm Alice listeners, I want you to stay safe.

Peace,
Intern Kelly

watch?v=5L5_-8S6CKoListen to Alice all week to grab tickets to the Bridge School Benefit at 9a, 12n and 5p. Here are some past performances. As you can see, you’re gonna want to be there.

Hey Alice Listeners,

Thanks to everyone who showed up to last night’s inaugural Bosom Ball to support the Keep a Breast Foundation and UCSF’s Art for Recovery. With your awesome donations we were able to raise a lot for the foundations. Ingrid Michaelson was there as well and she played a set that featured her singles “The Way I am” and “Maybe” as well as a medley of covers that included Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby,” and the theme songs for Fresh Prince of Bel Aire and Full House. She was fun to watch and I’m jealous of all you lucky listeners who have tickets to her sold out show tonight at the Great American Music Hall. Thanks Ingrid Michaelson for being so awesome last night. Here’s some pictures from last night, including a shot of Marcus D., Ingrid and friends making something called the “Marcus D. face.” I don’t really get it but I am still new.

So the Twitterverse certainly made some interesting news this week. First, Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of superfamed late musician Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, went on a twitterant against Ali Lohan, feel teen and sister of Lindsay. Though the post was generally full of grammatical errors (like mother like daughter, eh?), she railed against the younger Lohan saying that she should not ride the waves of fame her sister has produced, especially considering that 16-year old Ali hasn’t really done much but look far older than her years. After the rant, Ms. Frances Bean deleted her Twitter. I say go Frances, even though her name is famous, she seems down to earth and pretty smart. Also in Twitter news, Miley Cyrus deleted her account, too! Even though I think the move is pretty smart, her dad apparently believes his daughter must re-activate her account. “Miley. You are a light in a world of darkness. You were born ‘Destiny Hope Cyrus’ for a reason,” her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, tweeted Thursday night. “You can’t leave everyone now. We r countin on u.” Oh, Twitter.

So in honor of the Simpson’s 20th Anniversary season starting next January, Marge Simpson is baring all for the November issue of Playboy. Here is the cover in all it’s glory.

Hopefully you’ve been listening this afternoon when we debuted a new song by musician Diane Birch. The singer has a very soulful vibe. Though she was born in the states, Ms. Birch lived in Zimbabwe with her parents as well as South Africa and Australia, creating a very worldy approach to her music. Currently she’s on tour and her album is Bible Belt. Most likely you will here much more from her!

Fleet week is this week in San Francisco, the Blue Angels will be playing every afternoon at 3 p.m. and there will be a fireworks display on Saturday at Pier 3. Other activities in San Francisco will be taking place, check out all the details here.

Have an awesome week, love you guys!
Peace,

Hey Alice Listeners,

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to be in a video with John Mayer? Well thanks to augmented reality technology you can totally put your face behind John Mayer’s, kind of like a “digital hologram.” Watch John talking about the tecnhology here.

The brand new album, Battle Studies, will be out November 17th. Here’s John performing the new song “Who Says” at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood in July.

So being a big fan of both Heath Ledger AND Terry Gilliam (who directed Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Twelve Monkeys and Brazil) I am so incredibly excited for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. A trailer for the film was released yesterday, which finally was played to audiences yesterday in London. Ledger was in the middle of filming when he passed away last year in January. I can’t believe this will really be his last film, such a sad loss of an amazing talent. Trailer below.

Quick reminder, I hope to see everyone at tomorrow night’s inaugural Bosom Ball featuring Ingrid Michaelson at Slide in San Francisco. You can get all the details here.

Love you guys.
Peace,
Intern Kelly

Hey Alice Listeners,

So I know when I found out that the Ingrid Michaelson show at Great American Music Hall on October 9th was sold out I was pretty sad because I had failed to purchase tickets yet. However, I am now super excited because Ingrid Michaelson is doing a special performance for Alice’s inaugural Bosom Ball! Definitely come down to the club Slide at 430 Mason Street Thursday night from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. to help benefit the Keep a Breast Foundation. It’s free with a suggested donation. We’ll be giving away door prizes and hors d’oeuvres so get there early. Here’s a video of Ingrid performing The Way I am on the Good Morning America show.

Ingrid Michaelson - Maybe

In other gossip: I have a fascination with Lady Gaga and her avante garde pop sensibility. Her fashion sense is just crazy, how can you not pay attention? Anyway, word is that Lady Gaga has been tapped to guest star on Gossip Girl. A girl can only hope that she will wear one of the following crazy outfits on the show.

Hey so for anyone who thinks that getting a swine flu vaccine isn’t important, you might end up like Backstreet Boys’ Brian Littrell who was recently diagnosed with the flu strain. Other celebrities who have allegedly had the flu: Marilyn Manson and Rupert Grint.

Love you guys!
Peace,
