AUDRINA AND RYAN...
Hot new couple and Audrina Patridge and Ryan Cabrera stopped by the newly-opened Sugar Factory store inside the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino to indulge in some sinfully scrumptious treats. NOTE: A publicist wrote the fore-mentioned description... I think “Audrina and Ryan like lollipops" sums it up best.
Big thank you to Carlos Larios for the photos.

TOMMY LEE DOES VEGAS....
Tommy Lee took over house night at Blush Boutique Nightclub on Wednesday at Wynn Las Vegas to host the King Baby Studio grand opening after-party. Someone should point out his lipstick mark to Oprah... then again she might think it’s a birthmark.

Heather Graham received the kind of birthday surprise only Cirque du Soleil can provide. The actress, whose birthday was Friday, January 29, was in Las Vegas for a secretly-planned overnight trip put together by her boyfriend, Director Yaniv Raz. The couple stayed in an exclusive Villa at The Mirage and enjoyed a post-birthday dinner at Japonais…all in preparation for a surprise visit to train on-stage with cast from KÀ by Cirque du Soleil at MGM Grand!
With the only instructions to wear workout gear, the overwhelmed yet amused Heather started the day with a Pilates warm-up in the KÀ training room with the show’s head coach while the main part of her gift awaited her in the theatre, in the form of a 50-foot high wall, a harness and a joystick. For the next hour, Heather was given a first-hand idea of what it takes to perform in the KÀ “Battle” scene by two KÀ performers, Emma Nicholson and Jason Biltz, namely: walking, running and racing, jumping and sliding down face first on a vertical stage.
Bridget Marquardt (from The Girls Next Door) hosted the Miss Playboy Club Model Search at Playboy Club Sunday night (1.31.10).

WAYNE NEWTON - A MUST SEE SHOW...
I had the privilege of seeing Wayne Newton’s new show at the Tropicana. “Once Before I Go” is an amazing show! No doubt about it Wayne is a living legend and this show is Wayne’s personal account of his legendary life.
During the show Wayne shares some very intimate stories about his rise to become “Mr. Las Vegas.” My personal highlight is the duet he does with Sammy Davis Jr. Yes, he does a duet with Sammy Davis Jr. that is absolutely surreal. By your tickets HERE.
And for all of the diehard Wayne fans - visit the gift shop before the show. Wayne has many of personal memorabilia from his “red room” on display.

About J.C.
I have never been a big fan of writing my bio, so I have decided to give you a timeline of my life.
8/10/1974 I was born in Doylestown Pa. My father is Cuban and mother is Irish. I look like my mom, that is why I look like the whitest Fernandez this side of the Mississippi. Actually, I should take that back. My wife, Laura, is the whitest Fernandez this side of the Mississippi.
1974-1989 I grew up in Bucks County, Pa (30 minutes north of Philadelphia). I have an older sister, Jenny, and younger brother, John. It was pretty much your typical, suburban childhood. The only odd thing is that I was raised a Dallas Cowboys fan. Needless to say I took some heat from the Eagles fans.
1989 - 1992 I attended Central Bucks High School East. It was during high school that I discovered my passion for professional wrestling. I have been in love with the sport ever since.
I played football in H.S. and I averaged 35 yards a catch. Pretty impressive stats, huh? Once you look a little deeper into the stats you will see that I only had two catches. The first was for 5 yards. The second was the biggie, it was a 65 yard flea-flicker. I had the safety beat and when I caught the ball it was nothing but end-zone. The only problem was that I was so excited that my knees buckled and I was downed at the 5 yard line. I still got up and celebrated like I was Terrell Owens, if I had some popcorn I would have poured it into my helmet.
Spring 1992 - I entered my first year of community college. I was pursuing a degree in hotel management but in the back of my mind I kept telling myself to try radio.
During this time I was working at the front desk at “The Inn at Lambertville Station.”
Spring 1994 - I wrapped up two years at Bucks County Community College. The only thing I can tell you from this was that my grades were horrific!
Summer 1994 - I realized that I wanted to finish my hotel degree and I was also itching to get out of Bucks County. UNLV has the # 1 hotel college in the country so I applied and sure enough I was accepted.
January 1995 - I arrived in the greatest city in the US, Las Vegas.
My time at UNLV was a blast. I joined the Sigma Chi Fraternity and enjoyed every minute of my experience. I am still a big fan of the Rebels and every so often I will go off on a little on-air tangent about UNR, and UNR students.
During my time at UNLV the radio bug started to take over me. I ended up doing a couple of shifts at the college station - 91.5 KUNV.
Spring 1997 - I graduated from UNLV with a degree in Hotel Administration.
Summer 1997 - I leased some air time on a local am station - 1230 AM KLAV. I paid $75 a week for 30 minutes of air time. This was my time and I could do whatever I wanted with it.... so I did a 30 minute talk show on professional wrestling. I still have the tapes, I should post some for your listening pleasure.
September 1997 - I got a job at Mix 94.1 as the remote engineer. I was the guy that would drive the radio station van around town. I would also set up the remote broadcast. It paid peanuts but I was happy to have my foot in the door at the # 1 station in Las Vegas.
This is when I first met Mark and Mercedes and told them that if they ever needed someone to help them out on air to just let me know.
October 1997 - I did my first on air bit for Mark and Mercedes. It was a Halloween themed segment. I stood on a golf course with a pumpkin on my head. Listeners drove golf balls at me and whoever hit the pumpkin won! Dangerous? YES! But I didn’t care.... I was on the radio.
May 1998 - Mark and Mercedes realize that they need a producer and offer me the chance to “audition” for the job. My audition began on May 1, 1998. I worked my first full shift with M&M and little did I know I would still be with these guys 11 years later - and I love every minute of it!
August 1998 - Mark and Mercedes officially offer me the producer position. I said YES!
December 1, 2000 - I got a call from WWZZ radio in Washington D.C. - they were looking for a producer.
January 1, 2001 I met with the crew at WWZZ and was offered the producer position. I was going to be working with Billy Bush. Yes, Billy Bush from Access Hollywood. Yes, Presidents Bush’s cousin.
I was going to be working in a top ten market close to home with a cool morning show. The offer looked appealing so I accepted.
January 5, 2001 I told Mark and Mercedes I was heading to D.C. I regretted making this move for a few years after. Looking back now at my time in D.C. I can see it was a great career opportunity, and gave me time to grow as individual.
January 10, 2001: Billy Bush leaves WWZZ.
January 20, 2001: I arrive in Washington DC with no morning show to produce.
2001 -2005 My time in DC saw a revolving door of morning shows. I was like the guy in “Quantum Leap.” I hoped that my next leap to a morning show would be a leap back to Mark and Mercedes.
The cavalcade of shows that I worked for in Washington D.C. include:
“Rick Dee’s in The Morning”
“The Morning Drive with Dylan and Erin”
“The Morning Drive with Haber and Erin”
“The Morning Drive with Haber, Erin, and Erica”
“The Morning Drive with Haber, Jenni and Erica”
“Brett Haber in the Morning”
“The Ralph Renzi Show.” This one lasted one day!
“The Morning Show with JV and Erica.” That’s JV, not me JC.
“The Matthew Blades Radio Program.”
It was during my time in Washington D.C. that I met my wife, Laura. She was my intern, as they say... “when in Rome.” Wacka! Wacka!
September 2005: I finally get to come back home to Las Vegas, and home to “Mark and Mercedes in the Morning.”
September 2007: Laura and I got married and the rest is history.
That’s pretty much it in a nutshell. I could go into more detail and include the time I ruined the ending of “The Sixth Sense” (live on-air), or how I was in LA standing outside the courtroom the day the OJ Simpson verdict was read, or the night pro-wrestler Scott Hall threaten to beat me up inside Studio 54. But I will save all of those for my next life outline
