Music News: The Who's new album will be released on Halloween.
Some sources say the new album will be called "Endless Wire"; and other sources say it will be called "Who 2" (a cute shot at U2). We'll have to wait and see what they actually name it.

Music News: Sorry Connecticut Aerosmith fans. It seems bassist Tom Hamilton will miss the band's show at The Dodge Music Center in Hartford; but he has a really good reason: Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton recovers from cancer treatment.

Entertainment News: The downfall of Lindsay Lohan is underway... William H. Macy slams Lindsay Lohan for lateness.

Loser of the Week:
Our top candidates this week were...

Angela - Angela's husband Bob called in to tell us that when he confronted his wife about her odd excuses for lateness and her strange schedule - not only did she not tell him the truth - she out of the blue said she wanted a divorce because she "didn't want to be married anymore". Roughly translated: She's cheating.
Marit Price - For her lousy driving. On the way to the Cox Radio Milford building she rode Chaz's bumper, then passed him, then slowed down purposely to get in Chaz's way. She did everything she could to aggrivate Chaz on the way to work on Tuesday morning.
What a battle this week! Two very worthy nominees. The lead kept changing back and forth, but when the speed round was over and the dust was settled, this week's Loser of the Week is Angela. Thanks for voting!
Some sad news... Ghost Hunter Ed Warren Dies.
On the phone with us was the one and only Al Roker.
Al called in to give us a heads up on a special program he's producing on NBC tomorrow night called Profiles in Courage - A Kennedy Legacy. The special highlights the stories of eight Senators throughout history who demonstrated extraordinary political integrity in the face of enormous obstacles. It's a great book; and Al has put together this special for tomorrow night.
For more information check this out. Thanks Al!
On the phone with us was our old pal Rich Vos.
Rich has been a good friend of Billy's since "back in the day"; and this Sunday he's performing at Marissa's in Trumbull. It's a great one-two punch with Rich's wife Bonnie McFarlane opening up; and then Rich bringing the house down. If you'd want to catch the show you can buy tickets online now.
For more information on the show check out Treehouse Comedy.com. Thanks Rich!
Next on the phone was Renny from the New Haven Convention and Visitors Bureau.

On the phone with us to talk about the JonBenet Ramsey Case was Chaz & AJ's Legal Loudmouth Norm Pattis.
Norm gave us his take on the case on both sides of the court. Basicly, if the DNA matches it's done. If the DNA does not match, then it needs to be established if John Mark Karr is sane or not. Norm explained plausible arguments for both the prosecution and defense.
If you need some legal help you're welcome to give Norm a call at 203-393-3017 or visit his website.
