Today I'm thinking about the rumors about Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner dating and I wonder if all the denial may be under the advice of the New Moon people. Maybe they think the movie will sell better to the teens if Taylor is seen as available since he does play a sexy wolf who's in love with Bella in this movie.

No matter who's asking Taylor says she's single. She says, "I've never thought it was a curse to be single, and at this poin in my life, I'm in the mind-set where I choose to be single-like I got to light scented candles and write in my diary and I wouldn't have time for that if I had a boyfriend right now!" Taylor does say that she and Lautner have "gotten really close" and that shooting thier upcoming movie, Valentine's Day, together was an interesting experience since the pair have the same first name. She shares, "It would be confusing on set with two Taylors in the same scene. They were like, 'Taylor, on your mark-no, not you, the other one!' So halfway through the shoot, I said, 'How about you guys call me Swifty and call him Taylor?'" Her co-star commented on the experience as well, saying that Swift "is hilarious" and that "it was definitely not hard to play her love interest."

Today I'm thinking about Taylor Swift. Since Taylor won Entertainer of the Year at this year's CMAs some artists including Wynona and Randy Travis have come out and said that it is way too soon for her to win such an honor. However, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw and Reba amoung others have said that she was totally deserving of the honor. She worked hard for it and she's had a lot of success and that's what the award is all about.

Do you think that it was too soon for her to win? Are you concerned that winning awards will become less of an honor now that she's won the top prize so young?

How much stock you think artists put into awards? The honor is nice, but do you think that Kenny Chesney has all of his awards on his mantel or do they get put into a box and shoved in the attic? Nascar driver, Carl Edwards gives his tropheys away when he wins it's only the win that counts he doesn't really care about the trophey. I think Brad Paisley put it best when he said "I like winning awards, I don't like reminders of the past all that much. Nor do I have time to dust or polish the statuettes, so my parents take care and display most of them at their house." I hear ya Brad, I hate dusting!

Regardless of what she does with the award or how early in her career she won it, I think Taylor Swift deserves the CMA for Entertainer of the Year. I think Taylor has a good enough head on her shoulders that no matter how often she wins it this will always be the biggest win in her career, but she'll value every future win as well.

Today I'm thinking about how excited I am about meeting my new nephew! Cole Anthony was born this morning, weighing in at a chunky 8lbs 2oz 20in. He and Momma are both doing great.

He has his mom's nose, but he takes after his daddy no question about it. My brother was a big baby too. My brother weighed just under 10lbs when he was born and Cole would've been around there has the doctors not induced Katie 2 weeks early!

Katie went in for her weekly appointment and her blood pressure was high so the doc decided they would induce her it took almost 13 hours for Cole to get here after they gave her the juice. 

Of course Katie didn't get any sleep last night. My brother caught a few hours, but is running on adrenaline for the most part. Baby Cole just sleeps.

I couldn't be there for his birth, but my bro and Katie kept me posted every step of the way. I'm heading down there to meet him later today! YAY! I love being an auntie!

Congratulations Tony and Katie and welcome to the world Cole Anthony Montgomery!

Today I'm thinking it's a pretty good idea to let you all know about my e-mail address change. The company has decided to stop using the Outlook Mail Server and try Google instead. So now we are all on this new Gmail which is pretty awesome because we can instant message each other and video message (if we have web cams) and we can organize our e-mails in a completely new way. I really like it. I've been using it for my home e-mail for quite some time so I'm excited to have it at work now too.

Another huge plus is that I can set up my e-mail on my phone now too! I love that! Another great way to use my AT&T phone!

The downside to this is that I have a new e-mail address. Those of you who have my e-mail address saved to your address books as nikki@wdez.com please make sure you change it to nikki.montgomery@mwcradio.com our studio e-mail address will remain the same gcmlive@wdez.com, but what's cool is that we can now receive e-mails at that address all day not just during the show.

Thanks for noting these changes. Have a great day!

Today I'm thinking about how excited I am for "NEW MOON" the 2nd movie in the Twilight Saga. It comes to theaters on Friday November 20th!
Though it is not my favorite book in the saga the previews make the movie look really good. And I can't deny that I am excited to see Taylor Lautner (AKA Jacob Black) running around half the movie with no shirt on after packing on 30 pounds of muscle. GO TEAM JACOB!
Here's what the cast had to say about being back on set for the "New Moon" movie.

Today I'm thinking about Social Media. If you're not on Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Flickr, YouTube, LaLa, Blogger, Digg, Revver, LinkedIn, Friendster, Classmates, Hi5, Delicious, Bebo, Virb, Yahoo!360...you get the idea, you are so out of the loop! There are so many different Social Media Networks that it is so hard to figure out where you need to be and how to utilize the sites for your needs.

Personally I have Facebook, Myspace, Digg, Flickr, Revver, LinkedIn and Twitter accounts. Through work I also use LaLa. Talk about crazy trying to manage all of them. Facebook being the most interactive is the one I use regularly, besides that's more my demographic. I learned today that the average user age for Facebook is 33, Myspace is 26, Twitter is 31 and LinkedIn is 39. Facebook is the most used social network with Myspace coming in second, but Twitter right on it's heels!

Soon Google Wave will be available for public use which is going to be pretty cool from all I've seen about it. I think that is going to take over the top spot quickly. I can't wait! Did you or anyone you know get in on the beta testing? 10,000 people who preregistered were invited to do the live beta testing on Sept 30th. I registered, but didn't get my invite...I'm kinda sad. I wonder how they selected the beta testers?

What Social Networking sites do you use?

Today I'm thinking about the Rihanna and Chris Brown domestic violence situation. Rihanna opens up for the first time in an interview with Good Morning America regarding the beating Chris Brown gave her hoping to influence other women in similar situations to gain the courage to leave.


Domestic violence isn't a one time thing it may take a long time in a relationship before it happens, but once it does it will happen again. You can't tell yourself that he/she loves you and they messed up. So many people in this situation make a habit of lying not only to themselves, but to everyone else because they're embarrassed or they think it's their fault. If you've been so badly abused emotionally to think that that's the best you can do you need to confide in a friend who can help you see how valuable you are.
I've been that friend and as the friend it's frustrating because you see how much they're being hurt and you can't understand why they can't just walk away. You feel like a broken record saying "Leave him" every single time you talk, but don't stop because eventually she'll listen and she needs to know you're there for her. It's scary leaving someone, but especially when they've convinced you no one else would want you, or they're threatening you and scaring you all the time and if kids are involved it's even worse. Someone in an abusive situation needs an army to stand behind them and somewhere safe to go.
If you are in an abusive relationship and you want out know that there are people who understand what you're going through and places to go that will keep you safe. Take your life back, call the Women's Community Helpline 1- 888-665-1234. Your keyword is "Help" 250 points.
