Do You or Someone You Know Work At Disneyland?

Kyla and I would like to visit Disneyland in Anaheim, California this Friday (December 5), but with the current state of the economy, I would not like to spend $160 (with tax) on two tickets.

I know that if you work there, you are allowed to sign in four guests a day for free.

Please e-mail me back if you can hook it up. I would definitely love to meet you too and promise to bring you some prizes for you to show my gratitude.

Let me know asap!

Songs With Terrible Lyrics

Rarely do I call out an artist for writing awful lyrics, although I probably hear about three new awful songs a week, but Pink's "So What" is really starting to get to me, and I'm not even sure if she writes her own lyrics or not. This means that professionals may have come up with this disaster ...

Here's a sample:

The waiter just took my table
And gave it to Jessica Simps
I guess I'll go sit with drum boy
At least hell know how to hit
What if this flops on the radio,
Then somebodys gonna die!
I'm going to get in trouble,
My ex will start a fight

Take a moment to share with me some of the worst lyrics you've heard in recent memory ...

DJ Rossstar on MTV's "The Hills" Tonight!

Make sure you watch tonight's episode of "The Hills" at 10 p.m. on MTV.

A few weeks ago, Kyla Fox and I went to Winston's in West Hollywood and wound up sitting at the table directly next to LC and Lo. After a 30-minute shoot (and a brief argument with Audrina that you will see tonight), MTV asked us to sign release forms because we appeared in a  majority of the shots.

This will be the first time since I appear on Game Show Network's Lingo back in 2006 that you will be able to see me without a hat ... so don't forget to watch!

The Maine, Charlotte Sometimes, TV/TV on DJ Rossstar's Punk Rock Show Tonight!

Tonight's episode of DJ Rossstar's Punk Rock Show will feature three live phone interviews.



First up will be Charlotte Sometimes. The NY singer-songwriter released her debut full-length, Waves and the Both of Us, earlier this year and will be calling in to discuss how her life has changed since then, and what she has planned for 2009.

NY rockers TV/TV had to cancel their studio appearance tonight, but that's not stopping them from calling in and being just as entertaining as they would have been sitting right next to me. The band has big things on the way and hopefully will reveal some exclusives to us.

The last call of the night will come from Arizona's The Maine who have seen tremendous success since they first stopped by the studio in June. The band is on tour through December and has a new E.P. on the way, so I'm sure they'll have plenty to talk about.

We will also be giving away a CD from Charlotte Sometimes on tonight's show ... so get ready to win!

If you have questions for Charlotte Sometimes, TV/TV or The Maine, you can instant message us during the show at DJ Rossstar 08 (AIM) or call (818) 641-1605 and leave your questions in a voicemail that might be played on air.
