Lifehouse at Benihana for Onion Volcano

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Benihana ChefWell spin me around and call me Susan!!  It’s funny to find out I’m not the only person who’s obsessed with the Onion Volcanos at Benihana.  Maybe I’m just a pyro….hmmmm.  Anyway, we here at Sophie @ 103.7 were just talking about Benihana’s in a recent meeting.  It was total deja vu when I saw this video of the guys from Lifehouse eating at Benihana.  It was singer Jason Wade’s childhood fantasy to grow up and be a Benihana Chef.  Click HERE for the video.  At the end you can see the band soundcheck for the ProBowl in Hawaii.

Linkin Park Singer’s Stalker Gets 2 Years Behind Bars

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Linkin Park Singer’s Stalker Sentenced
(Courtesy of CBSNews)

Chester Bennington of Linkin ParkA woman who stalked Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington was sentenced Wednesday to two years in prison for using her work computer at Sandia National Laboratories to track and harass him and his wife.

Devon Townsend has 60 days to surrender to a minimum-security prison in Phoenix, where she is expected to receive mental health care. She had pleaded guilty to stalking and other counts.

Townsend, who worked in Sandia’s technology and manufacturing group, used lab computers to illegally access private information about Bennington and his wife, Talinda, in 2006.

According to a plea agreement, Townsend said she obtained family photos, monitored voice messages and traveled to Arizona to meet Bennington, using information she learned about his travel plans. She also obtained correspondence between Warner Bros. Records and Linkin Park’s business attorney, including a copy of a check made to Bennington from the record company and a copy of the band’s recording contract.

Investigators said Townsend also hacked into the e-mail of Bennington’s wife and at one point called the former Playboy model and threatened her.

Strolling Down Memory Lane: The 80’s!!

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

It’s Friday night and I’m in the Sophie @ 103.7 studio.  I just played the new Michael Jackson/Kanye West remix of Billie Jean ‘08…It freakin’ rocks!  You can find it on MJ’s just released “25th Anniversary of Thriller” CD.  All the classics are digitally remastered, plus there are seven bonus tracks, Kanye is one of them.  Also, check out Fergie doin’ “Beat It.” 

OK, so I got sidetracked by Thriller, forgive me…my point was the 80’s memories it brought back.  Like the time I blew up my sister’s Easy-Bake Oven!!  A small fire broke out, but I survived.  She got me back by breaking my Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine.  Below is a list of 80’s memories.  (If you can relate or want to add to it, post a comment, tell your friends!! :)  Like, have a totally tubular 3-day weekend!!
