Penn Jillette may have to pull a rabbit out of his hat, if he wants to stay on ``Dancing with the Stars.'' Tonight, the first two celebs of the season will be sent home. After two performances, Jillette is the lowest scoring man. But tennis champ Monica Seles has the lowest scores of all. Deaf actress Marlee Matlin continues to impress the judges, as does Olympic figure skating champion Kristi Yamaguchi. She's the overall leader.

Fox Broadcasting says it will not pay fines totalling 91-thousand dollars for airing a reality show episode that included graphic sexual scenes at a bachelor party. The show was ``Married by America.'' Fox calls the fines ``unconstitutional.''

In its second weekend, ``Horton Hears a Who'' is still making noise at the box office. It stays at number-one, taking in an additional 24 and a half (m) million dollars.

Owen Wilson's new comedy, ``Drillbit Taylor,'' has a weak opening. “10,000 B.C.'' is in fifth.

Longtime Beatles associate and friend Neil Aspinall has died. Aspinall was a school friend of Paul McCartney and George Harrison, and he was The Beatles' first road manager. He used to drive the band to gigs in his van. Later, Aspinall became their personal assistant and was given a job in 1968 managing Apple Records. Aspinall was the executive producer of the ``Beatles Anthology'' and ``Beatles One'' albums, as well as the recent Beatles-Cirque du Soleil show ``Love'' in Las Vegas. He died Sunday in New York City, where he had been treated in a hospital for lung cancer. Neil Aspinall was 66.

Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry is recovering in the hospital following successful total knee replacement surgery, an operation he put off for two years so that he could fulfill the band's live commitments. The surgery was performed last Tuesday morning (March 18) and Joe spent a few days in ICU where doctors were able to stabilize his pain. Perry has since been moved to a private room where he will spend a few more days before heading home to continue his recovery.

Classic Rock Song Facts: (Weekdays at 1:20pm)

This is an anti-war song.

This song references "Instant Karma" which was a song recorded by John Lennon a year earlier.

It is ... I've Seen All Good People ... Yes.

Doug Jones had an extended Easter Weekend so I dragged by butt out of bed way-early today. I had forgotten that 4:00 happens twice a day!

It was a good thing Kyle got up early on an Easter Monday. He won free tickets to see The Cult this Friday at the CN Centre ...

I love giving away free tickets to the Indoor Soccer Challenge April 5-6 at the CN Centre. Here's Darlene, another satisfied Drive winner!

An audible gasp went through the audience when Ryan Seacrest told Carly Smithson she was in the bottom three. And the ``American Idol'' judges said ``America got it wrong.'' I agree. I thought she nailed “Blackbird” and was perhaps the best the night before. But it was Amanda Overmyer who was sent home. She just missed the Top 10, which means she won't be participating in the ``Idol'' tour this summer.

``Survivor'' lost two castaways last night. But only one was because of a Tribal Council vote. Kathy flipped out and quit the show. (clip) She said she desperately missed her family and was only doing the show for her husband and sister. Later, at the Tribal Council, Tracy was voted off. She says it was hard to compete against the favourites, but she went out kicking and did everything she could to stay in the game.

Here's my weekly conversation with Collette Ogden, our Survivor corespondent, and we start out with our concern over the fact that 2 weeks in a row a fan has quit the game.

In 1970, English rock star David Bowie married Angela Barnett in a civil ceremony in London.

In 1971, Janis Joplin reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 with ``Me and Bobby McGee.''

Queen have unveiled details of their first album in 13 years – their first work without any input from the late Freddie Mercury. Titled ‘The Cosmos Rocks’, the album has been written and recorded by guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor and Free frontman Paul Rodgers who has taken over from Mercury on vocal duties. The album will hit the shelves on September 1, two weeks before they kick start a 28 date, 14 nation, European Arena tour.

Former Eagles guitarist Don Felder will finally publish his autobiography, Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles in North America on April 25th. The book was supposed to be published in the U-S last October, but was shelved after his former bandmates threatened litigation over some of its content. It was released in the UK in November.

Could The Beatles be the next rock band to participate in Guitar Hero? The LA Times reports that the company that controls the publishing rights to the Lennon/McCartney compositions, has discussed the idea and would like to pursue talks with the game's manufacturer. First American Idol. Possibly Guitar Hero.

This week's theme on the Classic Rock Challenge is “Who Am I” as I give you biographical clues to the identity of a Classic Rock Artist:

We hail from Sayreville, New Jersey, and over the past 25 years, we've sold over 120 million albums worldwide. Other than the departure of our bassist in 1994, the band had remained intact.

After two moderately successful albums in 1984 and 1985, the band scored big with “Slippery” in 1986. Oddly enough, in 2006, we won a Grammy for best Country Collaboration.

Throughout our career, we've released ten studio albums, charted 19 singles to the Top 40, four of which reached #1. We hold the record for the most weeks for a hard rock album at #1 with that “Slippery” album.

Here's Darlene Dunne with the answer and winning a $15 A&W gift certificate.

Alice Cooper wrote this about the reaction of friends and family toward his on stage persona. The maniac he plays on stage goes over well with his audiences, but the folks in his mother's church groups were unsure how to handle it and were uncomfortable talking about it.

Megadeth covered this on their “Hidden Treasures” album and it was covered by Pat Boone on his 1997 album, "In a Metal Mood".

Guitarist Michael Bruce co-wrote the track and used it for the title of his retrospective book about the band.

It is ... No More Mr.Nice Guy ... Alice Cooper!
