Monica Lowe - Middays from 10am - 2pm At the age of 6 she appeared on StarSearch with Ed McMahon. Luckily, she came in second. For if she had won, she probably would still be a circus juggler today. That was young Monica’s first brush with the entertainment business. She then turned her energy toward a modeling career. If you’re old enough to remember you might have seen Monica’s bare bottom in several Coppertone ads and as a Guess Jeans spokesmodel. Nothing got between her and her Guess Jeans. Once Cindy Crawford took over all modeling assignments worldwide, sadly, Monica’s own modeling career was forced to take a drastic turn. It was a chance encounter with actor Jack Nicholson who told her “kid, you got a hell of a voice, maybe you should be on the radio”. It was then that Monica began pursuing her new dream of surfing the radio airwaves by taking classes at San Diego State University. An internship at legendary Southern Ca. rocker KGB fm soon turned into a full time career in Broadcasting. Not to be pigeon holed; Monica has worked all genres of music from Jazz formats to Rock, country, pop and alternative. You’ve heard her smooth, personable style on Sacramento airwaves for 19 years. Having worked at KQPT The Point, KRAK country, and as a mainstay at 100.5 The Zone. She’s interviewed hundreds of bands, artists, comics and movie stars. Favorites include everyone from Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, pop sensation Fall Out Boy, Train, Matchbox 20, Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, Miles Davis, Leonardo Dicaprio, George Clooney and so many others. Someday she hopes to interview Brad Pitt. Privately ;) Listen for Monica on 100.5 The Zone mid-days from 10am-2pm. Hear her voice on commercials as you travel the United States and don’t be alarmed if she gives you a hug when saying hi. She is quite friendly. Monica Lowes favorite things: Husband, her two kids, spaghetti, enchiladas, escargot, fruit loops and cats.
Michael Jackson is going to drag himself out of his alleged sickbed and head to London to face the music -- a lawsuit from an Arab sheikh who claims that the King of Pop stiffed him out of seven-million dollars. Jacko is scheduled to give evidence at the High Court on Monday. Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the son of the King of Bahrain, says he gave Jackson seven-million dollars as an advance on an album and an autobiography. Jacko says it was a gift.
BEN AFFLECK: Goodwill Hunting
Even though Ben Affleck'swife, Jennifer Garner, is worried about a stalker, he's in Africa to help save the world. On his fourth trip to Congo, the Gigli star toured refugee camps in an effort to raise awareness of a conflict that has displaced more than a quarter- million people. Yesterday, Ben told the Associated Press, "I'm not an expert in international affairs or diplomacy, but it doesn't take that to see the tremendous suffering here. It's not something that we as human beings can, in good conscience, ignore."
DAISIES, STONE, SEXY: Canceled
A-B-C has canceled three series whose fates were hanging by a string. The feel-good, supernatural Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone, and the high-powered Dirty, Sexy, Money -- with a cast that includes Peter Krause, Donald Sutherland and William Baldwin -- have all gotten the axe. All three series were critically hailed, but had the misfortune of having their first season interrupted by the writers' strike that paralyzed network television.
Daisies creator Bryan Fuller not only thanked fans for their loyalty, but isn't looking at his series as being dead. "If we are indeed dead on A-B-C, we now have to convince D-C Comics to let us tell the rest of the season's story lines out in comic book form, and convince Warner Brothers features to let Pushing Daisies live again as a movie." --Glen Weisman
TOM HANKS: Beatles for Sale
Tom Hanks still doesn't have a vintage Beatles poster on his wall -- leaving his wife, Rita Wilson, with a legal headache. Rita was ready to shell out a hefty 75-thousand dollars for the poster as a gift for the Oscar winner, but when the seller was slow coming up with a certificate of authenticity, she tried to bail on the deal. Now the seller wants the original 75-grand -- and an additional 300-thousand dollars for the pain and suffering of digging up the evidence that the thing is real. Wilson's asking a judge to allow her to back out of the deal.
ROSIE O'DONNELL: Still Battling Barbara
Rosie O'Donnell and Barbara Walters are back at it -- sniping at each other over The View. On Wednesday Rosie, who left the show last year, told reporters that Walters "wanted everyone to believe and think and act as if we get along and are really good friends and happy and hang out together, and, you know, that's just not the reality... The fact of the the matter is, there was not a lot of camaraderie off camera." On yesterday's show, the 79-year-old Walters fired back, saying she's bugged by people who leave the show only to "dump on it, maybe for their own publicity. That not only hurts me, but I resent it."
WINONA RYDER: No Anxiety
Winona Ryder's little illness on that flight from Los Angeles to London this week might have been an overdose of Xanax. According to London's Sun, the Heathers star is afraid of flying and may have accidentally popped too many of the anti-anxiety drugs on the flight -- causing the pilot to request a priority landing after she collapsed in the first class section. The convicted shoplifter reportedly had her stomach pumped at a London hospital and was sent on her merry way.
What not to say at work
Men's Health magazine says that the self you present to your boss and coworkers should be carefully constructed. They're not saying you should be a fake. The goal is to display a version of yourself that helps you win people's esteem. It's not hard, but you do need to avoid revealing the sides of yourself that only your mom, significant other, or drinking buddies should see.
To that end, here are seven examples of what not to reveal about yourself at work:
1. How much you had to drink last night. Or any night for that matter. Your reputation will be that of a boozer or a college jerk who never grew up. Do you want either one?
2. How much your shoes cost. Or how much your stock portfolio is worth, or car, or house. Is there anything more off-putting than the person who constantly tells you what he or she is worth? At the same time, nobody wants to hear how poor you are, either. Everybody has financial burdens, but crying the blues will win you no friends or respect.
3. Who you sleep with and how often. This is a no-win situation. You'll be seen as a slut (that goes for men, too) or a liar. Even if you're talking about your beloved spouse, you'll be seen as a jerk on for kissing and telling. Plus it forces people to imagine you naked, and unless you're Brad or Angelina, it's not going to be appreciated.
4. How you ripped off the system on your last business trip. Only morons cheat on their expense accounts and brag about it, so moronic follow-up behavior will be expected from you. Plus, the instant you tick somebody off, guess what they're going to go running and tell the boss?
5. How sick you are of the job. Everybody complains, but choose your companions well. The world is filled with back-stabbers. A misplaced complaint to the wrong person could result in you looking for new work.
6. How much you despise the boss. See "how sick you are of the job" above. Keep your comments about the ogre in the corner office to yourself.
7. How excited you are about all the things God is telling you. There's a place for politics, conspiracy theories, extraterrestrials, and religion -- but it it's not at work. Pipe up about some of these things and see how fast nobody wants to go near you
Pieces of Good Advice That You Will Probably Ignore:
Go to bed on time.
Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
Say "No" to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
Delegate tasks to capable others.
Simplify and unclutter your life.
Less is more.
Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
Take it one day at a time.
Live within your budget. Don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
Have backups -- an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
Keep your mouth shut. This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
Do something for the "Kid in You" everyday.
Eat right.
Get organized so everything has its place.
Write down thoughts and inspirations.
Every day, find time to be alone.
Laugh.
Develop a forgiving attitude. (Most people are doing the best they can.)
Be kind to unkind people. (They probably need it the most.)
Talk less; listen more.
Slow down.
Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before.
FACEBOOK RULES
With Facebook -- you have 500 friends, don't ya? But they're not real friends ... Like someone told me ... you reconnect with people from your past, add them as a "friend," but after you do the initial catch-up, you most likely never talk to them again. But there they are, listed as one of your "friends" forever.
Parry Aftab, an Internet privacy and security lawyer, says some social-networking blunders can affect your rep, job, or even your safety ...
1. You friend anyone. You wouldn't let a stranger into your home, after all... If you don't know someone in real life, don't friend them at all. Anyone can copy your info onto their own Web site, or distribute it via e-mail. The upside to restricting your page? You come off as mysterious -- which guys like.
2. You pick an easy-to-guess password. Don't use your middle name, your pet's name, or another common password to log in to your page. If you do, any random acquaintance who knows or can guess what these are could log in and pretend to be you. Choose something less obvious and don't share it.
3. You post pictures of yourself partying hard. (LOL -- only 15-year-olds would do that!). Almost all big employers now look up young applicants on Facebook or MySpace to see if anything surfaces that may indicate the person isn't a good hire.
4. You update your status and say where you are. The status update is a fun feature and although letting your friends know you'll be at a specific club that night or leaving for vacation tomorrow seems innocent, you're essentially telling everyone your location and that you won't be home -- setting you up to have someone come by your social event unexpectedly or burglarize your apartment.
5. You make identifying details public. Posting a cute picture of yourself outside your house -- with the street number in plain view, let's say -- lets anyone with access to your page know where to find you. Another reason never to post your name, address, or date of birth is to avoid identity theft. With all these details -- a credit card account can be created in your name.
MORE STUPID PEOPLE THAN YOU THINK 41% of Facebook users friended a stranger, thus revealing personal info like where they live.
