They’ve been talking about it for years, but now it looks like finally a movie on the life of Jimi Hendrix, called “All Is By My Side”, is in the works. Who’s gonna play him? Click to find out…

This is pretty cool. At their show in New Jersey this past weekend, The Red Hot Chili Peppers paid tribute to the late Adam Yauch (aka MCA) of the Beastie Boys with a live version of the Beastie’s “So What’cha Want” during an instrumental jam…

Like this! Here’s the little ol’ band outta Texas sneak previewing one of their new songs in a commercial for Jeremiah Weed. Enjoy!…

The Avengers is thee movie to see and it has sparked a rise in the popularity of shawarma. What is it? You’ll see the characters in the Avengers eating it in the last scene of the movie. Several hundred K-CAL Rockers will see our showing tomorrow night of The Avengers and get a glimpse of this dish. If you like meat, you’ll love shawarma. Read more…but use caution if you’re hungry!

KCAL Rockers are busy, modern people. Between work, school, family, and – most important – watching football and drinking beer, we don’t always have the time to sit down and read every story in the newsosphere. Sometimes, we’ve just gotta rip whatever information we can straight from the headlines of the business, sports, entertainment, and local pages. That’s why your loving friends at 96-7 KCAL Rocks have taken it upon ourselves to make it nice and easy for you. Plus, we’ve saved you some time by jamming all the big news of the day into a couple easy-to-read “stories”. Some of them might even kinda sorta make sense.  Or not.

Here’s your Daily News Mashup for Monday, May 7th:

-Miley Cyrus–mildly insane daughter of Billy Ray–stormed onto the court during last night’s Lakers-Nuggets NBA playoff game. America’s Oldest Tweenager has yet to talk about (or, even, admit to) her behavior, but it likely has something to do with the godawful, forsaken craptastic bomb of a movie she just released, “LOL.” Her public apology will probably look something like: “OMG SRY evry1 had 2 promote my muvie, LOL i <3 bsktballz <33333333333333333″

-The now-infamous walking disaster known as “Tanning Mom,” has agreed to star in a pornographic film. It looks like her lone stipulation was that she have no, um, “co-star,” giving herself 100% of the screen-time and the rest of us nightmares on par with visions of our own death. So far, no one knows which production company is filming the porno project, but, who can blame them for not wanting to take responsibility? The truly sick and twisted can click here for a short preview of “Tanning Mom’s” upcoming release.

-Olympic gold medal swimmer Michael Phelps has announced his impending retirement after this year’s Games on news that marijuana prices in California are in free-fall. The world-class athlete was publicly disciplined for marijuana use a few years back by whatever league or association governs swimming (and you thought Roger Goodell only existed in football), and it would not be surprising if California’s attractive pot prices drew him here for retirement. Plan on hearing him in-studio with Stoner Rob in the coming years, playing his pluggy sidekick, “The Psychadellic Swimmer.”* Just remember to pass it to the left hand side, Mikey.

*Get real: Phelps is NOT going to appear on Stu, Tiffany and Jimbo alongside Stoner Rob. He is quitting after the Olympics, though. Remember, the Mashup is a parody, anyone who takes the words written here as fact is a fool and should be privately ridiculed.

Wow, too many people dying too young this week. Adam Yauch, who you know better as MCA of the groundbreaking Beastie Boys, passed away today at the age of 47 after battling cancer for the last few years. They were just inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last month, but MCA was unfortunately to ill (he did have “A License to Ill” if you recall the line from their song “Paul Revere”) to perform at the ceremony. Highlights of the ceremony will be shown on HBO tomorrow night. Kid Rock and members of The Roots filled in and performed “Sabotage” for them. Here are some more videos for you to remember MCA with..

It happens every year but its timing is awesome this year with the release in the U.S. tomorrow of the new Marvel Comics movie “The Avengers.” For your kids or for you, get your free comic book by reading the details…

Do you own this Led Zeppelin t-shirt? It was a promotional shirt made in 1969. It is worth about 20 dollars. Oh, hang on, did I say 20, I meant 20,000 dollars! I kid you not…

Here’s your Daily News Mashup for Wednesday, April 25th:

-Shattering expectations and confusing critics, the Indianapolis Colts have elected to draft supermodel Kate Upton’s boobs with the 1st overall pick of the 2012 NFL Draft*. The boobs, which were recently featured in Esquire, will serve the team in a yet unknown capacity, but no matter what they’re doing, fans can all agree they’ll look a lot better on the field than Stanford QB Andrew Luck. If the League had any idea the Colts were going to make such an unorthodox move, they may have scheduled them in more than one primetime game. Boobs!

-A “former prostitute” from Brazil is taking some time off from suing the United States embassy to offer a “night alone” with whomever is taken LAST in the NFL Draft, affectionately known as “Mr. Irrelevant.” The hooker claims she was thrown from an embassy van in December of last year, continuing the U.S. government’s poor record with South American prostitutes. She made her invitation to Mr. Irrelevant via YouTube, where she does not appear to have any injuries. No one but Mr. Irrelevant will get to know just how much being thrown from a van has hampered her, ahem, craft.

-(Suspended) Los Angeles Laker Metta World Peace will play football for (suspended) New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton while the two have seemingly nothing else to do. Payton said in an interview he’d like to coach his son’s football team with his well-earned time off, but since World Peace won’t be back on the court for seven games, it seems like a natural fit for the two to work together. The duo could be the most dangerous in all sports, as World Peace has demonstrated time and again his willingness to injure people for free.

*Don’t worry, Colts fans, Jim Irsay isn’t really going to pass on Luck (so far as we know). The News Mashup is a parody, a joke, a funny thing you should be reading every day.

**Goodness, look at Kate Upton’s rack.

Here’s your Daily News Mashup for Wednesday, April 25th:

-A man with no legs or arms- described as a “limbless endurance athlete”- managed to kill a gray whale, by slam-dunking a golf ball inside of it (beat that, Cosmo Kramer). The swimmer, Frenchman Phillipe Croizon, must have encountered the whale near the Pacific coast, as its carcass washed up in Washington’s Puget Sound. Croizon was in the middle of swimming around the world (which is now the second most-impressive thing about him), while the whale was, presumably, innocently bobbing around the ocean before Croizon killed him. Can’t wait to hear what PETA has to say about this one.

-Dan Marino has been banned from classrooms across British Columbia (up in ol’ Canadia), shortly after being named one of the newest spokespeople for the AARP. One B.C. teacher claims Dan the Man is now “too political” for her classroom, and the school board is following her lead. Add “teach in Canada” to the list of things Marino Will Never Do, right up there with “win a Superbowl,” and “live down ‘Ace Ventura.’” It’s a rare move for Canada, a country so benign they’ve even taken to dismantling their own Navy, to single someone out so aggressively. Poor Dan-o. At least he’ll be able to officially collect those sweet Senior Citizens’ discounts everywhere now.

-Detroit Lion Calvin Johnson- affectionately known as “Megatron”- unveiled a huge new deal today: $40 million for three seasons of letting E! follow him around. The show, which could be titled “Keeping Up With Calvin,” or, perhaps, “Messin’ With Megatron,” will be the same kind of overhyped crap we’ve come to expect from reality TV, with only TMZ and bored housewives tuning in. Lions fans seem worried Johnson could fall victim to the “Kardashian Curse,” and wind up marrying Lamar Odom, or…well, there’s really nothing worse than that.*

*Note: No, Calvin Johnson didn’t really sign up for any stupid reality shows. Once again, the Mashup is parody, and if you take anything written here as fact, well, you’ve been spending too much time licking Stu. He was chosen by fans to appear on the cover of the upcoming Madden football video game**, though, so big ups to him.

**Calvin Johnson – not Stu, dumbass.
