[WATCH] Disgraced Canadian Radio Star Pleads Not Guilty To (S)exual Assault Charges

THE MOUTH, OCTOBER 2ND, 2015 –– Disgraced former radio host Jian Ghomeshi yesterday pleaded not guilty in a Toronto courtroom to all five charges against him. The former host of CBC Radio is facing five charges, including four counts of sexual assault and one count of overcoming resistance by choking.

According to CBC News, Ghomeshi did not speak with reporters as he walked into the downtown courthouse, where he was arraigned during a court appearance. Ghomeshi said only "not guilty" when asked how he pleaded. Ghomeshi was originally charged with seven counts of sexual assault and one count of overcoming resistance by choking, but two sexual assault charges were withdrawn in May because they said there was no reasonable prospect of conviction. He is also facing one charge of sexual assault that is being tried separately.

The CBC fired Ghomeshi last October after executives saw what they described as graphic evidence that he had physically injured a woman. The one-time radio star has admitted to engaging in rough (s)ex but said it was consensual. The alleged assaults he was originally charged with occurred between 2002 and 2008. Ghomeshi's $100,000 bail conditions require him to remain in Ontario and live with his mother. WATCH HERE

THE MOUTH, OCTOBER 2ND, 2015 –– Longtime Quad Cities host Bill Michaels, co-host of the perennial successful Dwyer & Michaels Show on 97X, has now grabbed world attention for his talent. No, not just radio. But his miniature modeling work (above right). In the latest issue of the UK's Model Rail Magazine, he was named among the world's best.

"I’m pretty excited to be included as part of Model Rail’s cover story: “Ultimate Realism”. The author primarily wanted to focus on the water, Michaels tells Jockline. Initially, he wanted to know how I “go about incorporating real water into a project” and how I keep it from evaporating. After explaining the Envirotex and Mod Podge method that I used, his response was “Although, I still don’t believe that isn’t real water… It really is, without doubt, the most realistic water I have EVER seen.” Very flattering to say the least! - See more HERE

Chris Moyles At War With Bosses Over Sam Smith Airplay

By Graham Mack

THE MOUTH, OCTOBER 1ST, 2015 –– Chris Moyles is already be at war with his Radio X bosses over his hope to get Sam Smith on his programme. The new breakfast show host has made his return to the airwaves, but the station's rock leanings mean getting the crooner's tracks played is proving difficult. He told the Daily Star: "I really want to get Sam on the show. I missed a load of stuff in the three years I was away from radio, Sam was one of them. I finally met him this summer. I love him but can't play his music." The British singer made waves with his James Bond theme Writing's On The Wall, but Chris admitted he hasn't heard it yet. Sam isn't the only pop star he'd fight to get featured on his show. Taylor Swift is also near the top of his list.

Chris Evans Says He Will Stay At Radio 2 Even Though He’s Hosting Top Gear - Radio 2 Breakfast Show host, Chris Evans has dismissed claims that his upcoming television commitments will mean he doesn’t have time to focus on his Radio 2 breakfast show. Speaking at this year’s Radio Festival at the British Library in London, Chris also said it isn’t his role to be controversial on the air. “I’ve fallen back in love with life and how wonderful it is,” he told delegates in a Q&A with Radio 4’s Paddy O’Connell. “I would love to be more spiky, more edgy sometimes. But that’s not my job. I’m not flying a spitfire, I’m flying an Airbus A380 and we can’t do loop the loops.”
