Drfunkenberry.com artist Orianthi performed her top 20 smash “According To You”  on American Idol last night and debuted a new hair ‘do.

We are so proud of Orianthi for gracing the stage of American Idol and don’t forget she will be on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno tonight, which also features Janet Jackson.

For those that missed it, below is the interview we did with Ori recently. Hope you enjoy it.-Dr.FB

Jimmy Kimmel was on The Late Show With David Letterman and said he did “suckerpunch” Jay Leno but also said that they were drowning Leno until David Letterman thru him a “life-saver” with the Super Bowl commercial with Oprah.

He brought up the 10 @ 10 segment on Leno’s show and said he tattled to Oprah and he admits to the suckerpunch.

Dave said the only loser was NBC.  Kimmel said I think Conan would disagree with that.

Check out the clip and let me know what you think.-Dr.FB

In an Aspen, Colorado courtroom today, Charlie Sheen pled not guilty to domestic violence charges. It was Christmas Day last year when Sheen’s wife,  Brooke Mueller Sheen, told police in a 911 call that he had put a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her.

Sheen denied threatening his wife with a knife or choking her. He told officers they had slapped each other on the arms and that he had snapped two pairs of her eyeglasses in front of her, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

Sheen showed little emotion and said nothing during his brief arraignment in Pitkin County District Court. The plea was entered by Richard Cummins, one of Sheen’s attorneys.

Sheen is charged is charged with menacing, criminal mischief and assault. Menacing, the most serious charge, carries a sentence of one to three years in prison. The jury trial is set to begin on July 21. -Dr.FB

Orianthi will perform on this week’s American Idol this Wednesday March 17th.

We broke the news exclusively on Friday to our Twitter Followers and our Facebook Fan Page  as Fox did not want to make the official announcement  on the site til Monday, so we snuck to our followers because they didn’t say we couldn’t. 

Orianthi will be performing “According To You” on the show, which is slowly creeping up the charts that used to matter, The Billboard Charts and is sitting at Number 17 right now.  She has been on Funkenberry Radio’s Top 21 for quite a while now. 

When we interviewed Orianthi a few weeks back, she let us know that she recorded an updated version of “Stairway To Heaven” by led Zeppelin with Mary J. Blige and guitar God Steve Vai. 

ALSO, Orianthi will be performing  on this Thursday’s “Tonight Show With Jay Leno” and that performance should be hot as well. Janet Jackson will be a guest on the show.  As you all should know, Orianthi was due to play with Janet’s brother, Michael Jackson (You might have heard of him) before his untimely death.  She is all over the documentary “This Is It” which is now out on DVD.

Hope you enjoy the great photo of Orianthi and be sure to check out her rocking performance on “American Idol” this week to see why we are raving about this girl.  “This Is NOT It” for her for sure…..-Dr.FB

Now, before Chad gets mad at us, it is a known fact several “Dancing With The Stars” contestants have hooked up with with their set dance partners.

Perhaps Chad Ochocinco is just trying to take care of Cheryl Burke, who led Emmit Smith to a “Dancing” title, with the hopes she leads him to one as well. 

Regardless, the 2 were spotted in Miami on Sunday having some lunch and joking with the paps. 

Chad is not joking with Cheryl though.  He told her to stop complimenting him on his dancing so he will be harder on himself and not relax.  Straight up, Chad wants to win, weather it is on the football field or on the dance floor. 

Late last night, Chad tweeted this: I  am having one of those damn lonely moments again damit!! Not even a damn cuddle buddy, my personal life sucks, I shoudve been a golfer.

Funny guy.  Makes me think maybe he is feeling something for Cheryl!   Don’t worry, some women were wanting to keep Ocho company after that tweet.    Cheryl even hit him up saying he was supposed to hang with her.  Hmm.

Hmm.  Sorry.  Was just thinking how good Chad would look in a….Dallas Cowboys jersey.  What?  Did you think I was gonna say in a ballet outfit, fool?  Come on now.  Good luck Chad!-Dr.FB

SNL had a funny commercial spoof of the Prius and the break problems it has been having lately. It was technically for Ford, which made it even funnier.

I wish the rest of the episode was as good as this commercial. Betty White can’t hose the show quick enough.

Enjoy the commercial and let me know what you think!!!!-Dr.FB

Just in case you missed Madonna on “The Marriage Ref” last night, here it is. Iguana’s and ugly couches are discussed along with more.

Interesting how she is no longer British. Hmmm.-Dr.FB

(Just in case there is a problem seeing the video, check it out HERE!

The National performed a new song entitled “Terrible Love” on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.

We hear it will be the opening track on the upcoming CD from them “High Violet” due later this year.

Check it out and let me know what you think.-Dr.FB

It’s official!  Betty White will be hosting Saturday Night Live on May 8th.  

 It will be the Mother’s Day episode and is already going to have 6 former female cast members on the show and we imagine a boatload of guest stars.   

She can thank A Facebook campaign that was kicked off after her Snickers Super Bowl commercial where she let herself be tackled. 

Betty was asked to host Saturday Night Live 3 times before and turned it down.  This time, her agent said he would divorce her if she didn’t do it.  It was like do it now or when you are 95.

White, who is 85 is looking forward to the gig.  “It’s lovely, and at my age it’s certainly unexpected.”  I’ve got so much energy, it’s ridiculous. I love working. My schedule is a feverish one, and I’m used to that.”

Ahhh.  The power of Facebook.-Dr.FB
