I’m still on a Valentine’s Day kick, so I have to share this. Continue reading “Music: Olivia Newton-John & Jim Brickman “Valentine””
A few weeks ago, I was engaged by a big media outlet to interview Olivia Newton-John and her daughter Chloe as their dance hit, “You Have To Believe,” was racing up the Billboard Dance charts. At the time I chatted with Chloe (I record all of my interviews so I can make sure I quote folks correctly), the song was just hitting #19 on it’s way to #1 whereupon Chloe and Olivia became the first mother/daughter team to reach #1 on the Billboard Dance Club chart. Chloe also talks about her upcoming role in the Syfy network film, “Dead 7.” I thought my radio audience might be interested in hearing the actual interview, and so, voila! Chloe is quite charming throughout the chat, and it’s fun to hear the excitement in her voice as the song’s journey was just unfolding. You can hear other shows on my newly launched The Randy Report companion podcast by clicking here.
The Brady Bunch “Get Ready”
Here’s one way to wake up your Tuesday morning. Tennis superstar Rafael Nadal invites you into the locker room and then teases the lens as he strips down to his underwear in a new ad spot for Tommy Hilfiger.

According to People.com, the Duggar family is “heartbroken” their TV series on TLC has been canceled.
The source says the evangelical Christian family, who often discussed their religious faith on their TLC show, is “heartbroken that they’ve now lost that platform.”
“The Duggars want to return to TV because they truly believe it was part of God’s plan for them to spread the word about their faith,” the source says.
“I think Jim Bob and Michelle honestly did expect people to just move on from this,” the source adds. “Their thinking is, they put this behind them ages ago, so why wouldn’t the rest of the world?”
I’m certain the money and fame had nothing to do with wanting to be back on TV.
I guess the family thinks it’s unfair that after you’ve positioned yourselves as ‘morally superior’ for ten years, the world won’t let you forget that your son touched your daughters and others in “inappropriate” ways.
