Q104 DJ Training Video

Ok Class... Take notes, there will be a test.

This one's for the ladies!

This is the cover picture of the latest issue of "Men's Heath." Is it me, or does tennis star Andy Roddick's head not match the size of the rest of his body? Did 'Men's Health' pump up the pro? Let me know what you think! In the mean time, consider this picture a gift to all the ladies of Cleveland!

George Goes RED!

In honor of the the 'Grey's Anatomy' season finale tonight, I thought it would be appropriate to share this pic! T.R. Knight, Dr. George from 'Grey's Anatomy', sports the new red 'do while shopping in LA this week. This should serve as a message to ALL celebrities, stop being insane. If not for me, then do it for your future children. They will thank you.

Injured By Food: Listener Edition!

After I had an unfortunate incident with a cheese stick, one of the topics on the big show last night was about food-related injuries. I just got this email from Q listener Tammy and wanted to pass on her message: BEWARE OF CHEEZ-ITS!!!


"Rob,

I work in a factory and couldn't call you last night but I think I have the best food injury story you will ever hear.

About 2 years ago my boyfriend and I were on our way home from work (we work together) and he wanted to stop at Taco Bell. As I am sure you know the line at the drive thru of Taco Bell at 1 in the morning can be really long. After we placed the order we were sitting there waiting and I was eating some Cheez-Its I had left over from my lunch from work. He said something stupid to me and I threw a Cheez-It at him. It hit him on his cheek bone, kind of up high right down from his eye and he yelled at me because he kept saying how bad it hurt. I thought he was being ridiculous because how bad could a Cheez-It hurt. When we got home he actually had a small cut under his eye where it hit him. Needless to say he was really mad at me but to this day we still joke about me being armed with Cheez-Its.

I really enjoy your show. Keep up the good work and welcome to Cleveland.

Tammy from Amherst"

Free Paris!

With Rumors circulating that Paris Hilton might actually get a PARDON by the Arnold the Gov-a-nator, I thought she might need one of these. On a side note, I am seriously considering printing 'Free Paris' T-Shirts...Want One? -Rob

Rob Kruz...The Graduate!

So... I graduated this past weekend. ABOUT TIME!

This is me and my sister, Katie just after the big ceremony!!

Bill Clinton gave the commencement address. TOTALLY AMAZING! No script and no telepromter, the dude just talked for 45 minutes straight!

The normal activity of your everyday college grad. (Cleveland: NOTE THE SHIRT.. Go Tribe!!! I'm Learning)

PARIS HILTON HEADED TO THE CLINK!!!!

Thanks to TMZ.COM for this one!!! -Rob




A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge has sentenced Paris Hilton to 45 days in L.A. County jail for violating her probation in a reckless driving case. Judge Michael T. Sauer handed down the harsh sentence, telling Paris she will not be allowed work release, furloughs, use of an alternative jail or electronic monitoring in lieu of jail. She must do the time!

An emotional Paris, with tears welling up in her eyes, told the judge moments before the decision "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Witnesses inside the courtroom say that Paris' parents, Rick and Kathy Hilton, were both visibly upset as the sentence was handed down. Kathy, we're told, was especially distraught.

The judge called out her rep Elliot Mintz in court, describing his testimony as "completely worthless." He also told Paris that he did not believe that she was unaware of her license suspension, adding that she had paperwork in her car stating that her license was suspended.

Paris will serve her sentence at the Century Regional Detention Facility (CRDF). She will begin her sentence on June 5.

I saw this story on PerezHiloton.com. With the success of her first single "Never Again" on Q104, I never would have guessed that there is trouble in paradise for our favorite American Idol. She will be in town at the Q Aug. 12th! CANNOT WAIT.





"Kelly Clarkson has reportedly scrapped her new album after label bosses weren't impressed with the record.

The American Idol alum suffered a scathing attack from Sony BMG chief Clive Davis after he heard the new tracks, reports British newspaper the Daily Star.

A source at the record company tells the paper, "It was an extraordinary presentation. Clive was absolutely merciless in his criticism of Kelly. She's one of the biggest priorities on the label and her new songs were savaged."

We're not sure if the album is scrapped totally but Clarkson herself has spoken out publicly about her labels dislike of her new album.

She produced and wrote the entire album herself, with her touring band.

Gone are the hitmakers that made her last album so good and incredibly successful.

Hopefully she can call Max Martin and some other people and they can add some songs to her as-yet-released new album ASAP!"

Pulp Muppets!

This is AWESOME!! Enjoy! -Rob

Rob Kruz Cleveland Cribs!

Ok. So I finally found an apartment in Cleveland, but I have no furniture! Any suggestions on how to decorate??


This is the view from my front door. Welcome to the casa de la Kruz!

My living room-- I guess I dont need anything besides my TV and Tivo (Don't wanna miss any Dr. Phil).

The Kitchen is getting there. Gotta love the IKEA bar stools.

This is the bedroom-- or at least as much of it as would fit on my camera. Again, note the IKEA desk... and green shoes. I love green shoes.

It's your music, your station... Now it's your apartment. Help me furnish the thing!! -Rob

Hit Me Britney One More Time!

Looks who's making her return to the stage. None other than the recently bald Ms. Britney Spears!!! She sang all of her former hits including "Baby One More Time" and "Toxic," the show only lasted 15 minutes, and our favorite disfunctional pop tart only said FOUR WORDS the entire show: "Thanks everyone for coming." Even with her faults (and there are MANY) give her credit, the girl looked good last night! That's all for now. -Rob
