Opie and Anthony are over and out.

The New York-based shock jocks, criticized by Catholic groups for broadcasting a live account of a couple allegedly having sex in St. Patrick's Cathedral, had their nationally syndicated show canceled Thursday.

"Based on recent events, the Opie and Anthony Show has been canceled, and will be replaced by other programming beginning Friday," WNEW-FM said in a statement.

The station, owned by Infinity Broadcasting, offered no further comment. The pair had been pulled off the airwaves Monday, three days after the stunt was aired.

The cancellation was announced shortly after Federal Communications Commission Chairman Michael Powell directed the agency's enforcement bureau to investigate the broadcast. The FCC had been flooded with hundreds of complaints about the show.

The decision to sack the shock jocks and their highly rated afternoon drive-time show was hailed by William Donohue, head of the 350,000-member Catholic League.

"I'm delighted with the results," said Donohue. "I'm very, very happy. It is an example of corporate responsibility in an age of corporate irresponsibility."

Donohue said his group would back off its call for the FCC to pull WNEW's broadcast license and fine Infinity.

"It's over," he said. "I'm satisfied."

The cancellation came one day after the Virginia couple suspected of the sex stunt appeared in a Manhattan courtroom on charges of public lewdness.

Brian Florence, 37, of Quantico, Va., and Loretta Lynn Harper, 35, of Alexandria, Va., were due back in court Oct. 2. The couple's lawyer has said they were just simulating sex inside the landmark Manhattan cathedral.

The couple was arrested Aug. 15 after they allegedly had sex in a cathedral vestibule just a few feet from worshippers, police said.

The radio show's stunt was part of a regular feature where couples could earn points and win a trip for having sex in risky places.

Charges of acting in concert were still pending against Opie and Anthony producer Paul Mercurio, 42, who provided a running account of the encounter via cell phone.

The Opie and Anthony show was nationally syndicated in 17 markets outside New York City, including Cleveland, Dallas, Las Vegas, New Orleans and Washington, D.C.

It was the second firing in four years for Greg "Opie" Hughes and Anthony Cumia. The pair was canned in 1998 by a Massachusetts station after announcing on April Fool's Day that Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino was killed in a car crash.

Well it's final... just wanted to let you all know. I still think they're pretty funny... Better than Chicago's very own Man-Whore any day.

Michael Jackson Breeds again

We're not sure if Billie Jean has anything to do with it, but this time the kid apparently is his son.

Yes, according to a report in the new issue of PEOPLE magazine, the stork has made another stop at Neverland Ranch, delivering a third child to Michael Jackson.

The coming-out party for the newborn was last month in Las Vegas, when Jacko arrived at a Siegfried and Roy show with three kids in tow, rather than his regular two.

According to the magazine, Jackson went backstage after the performance and introduced a six-month-old boy to the bronzed tiger tamers as "my third child."

No confirmation on the news from Jackson's camp--his publicist played the "we do not comment on Michael Jackson's private life" card Wednesday--but if the report is true, that brings the grand total of THRILLER spawn to three. Jackson already has two children, a five-year-old son named Prince Michael Jackson, and a four-year-old daughter, Paris Michael Jackson, both with ex-wife Debbie Rowe.

Like everything in the singer's life, the latest addition to the Jackson camp is cloaked in mystery. Few details are available, but evidently the baby's name is Prince Michael II. ("That's correct, Prince I and Prince II," producer Gary Pudney tells PEOPLE.) Jackson reportedly refers to the tyke as "the third" or "Number 3." (Which, we presume, leads to inevitable nanny confusion if, say, Number 3 goes number 1 on Number 2.)

The child is, according to the magazine, not adopted but rather conceived "the natural way." While the babe might be Jacko's biological child, mum's the word on, well, the mum. (And what passes for "natural" at Neverland is anyone's guess.)

There's some speculation the maternal unit might have been Rowe, who has supposedly remained close to Jackson since their 1999 divorce. "Anything's possible," an unnamed Jackson friend tells PEOPLE. "They still have a relationship."

In any case, the latest heir to the Jackson empire is described as a "smiley, happy little baby" and Pudney calls Jackson an "impressive father."

"He had a very lonely childhood," says Pudney. "His motivation in having children is partly because of that but mainly because he loves them. Now he has three beautiful children."

Thus ends a rather active summer in Jackson-related news. Just last week, his first ex-wife, Lisa Marie Presley, tied the knot with actor Nicolas Cage. Last month, he moonwalked out of his usual seclusion to lend his support to a coalition accusing the recording industry of cheating artists out of profits. In a rather uncharacteristic tantrum, he hoisted a "Sony is Phoney" sign and railed against Tommy Mottola, Sony Music's head honcho, for allegedly mistreating artists of color.

Many industry watchers pooh-poohed Jackson's claim, saying his outburst had more to do with his money-losing album INVINCIBLE than with any altruistic concerns.

Finally, reports published in July said Jackson's much-hyped September 11 charity single, "What More Can I Give?," was derailed in part because the song's producer had ties to the gay-porn industry. (Story courtesy of E! Online)

I just got to say those poor kids may grow up with the strangest childhood any child could EVER experience.

Cancer Causing Phones

Long-term users of some first-generation cell phones face up to 80 percent greater risk of developing brain tumors than those who did not use the phones, a new Swedish study shows.
The study, published in the European Journal of Cancer Prevention, looked at 1,617 Swedish patients diagnosed with brain tumors between 1997 and 2000, comparing them with a similar control group without brain tumors.

Researchers found that those who had used Nordic Mobile Telephone handsets had a 30 percent higher risk of developing brain tumors than people who had not used that type of phone, particularly on the side of the brain used during calls. For people using the phones for more than 10 years, the risk was 80 percent greater.

"Our present study showed an increased risk for brain tumors among users of analog cellular telephones. For digital cellular phones and cordless phones, the results showed no increased risk overall within a five-year latency period," the study said.

Two major mobile phone manufacturers disputed the findings of an increased risk of cancer.

The world's biggest mobile producer, Finland's Nokia, which still produces two models of phones working in the Nordic Mobile Telephone standard, said scores of other studies conducted on the health effects of cell phones showed no evidence of health hazards for users.

"There have been close to 200 studies done on different areas of mobile phones, and in the light of those and the way the scientific evidence is, there is no health risk in using mobile phones," Marianne Holmlund, communications manager at Nokia Phones, said Thursday.

Mikael Westmark, a spokesman for Sweden's Ericsson, which used to make Nordic Mobile Telephone handsets, said: "The study and the conclusions it reaches differs from at least three other studies in the past in several highly regarded scientific journals. None of these studies found a connection between mobile phones and cancer."

The Nordic Mobile Telephone network was initially developed to serve the Nordic countries, starting operations in the early 1980s, but then became popular in Russia and the Baltic countries.

It is still used in more than 40 countries, but has been overtaken in several countries by the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), which is due to be gradually replaced by rapid third-generation mobile networks.

Analog Nordic Mobile Telephone phones have been in operation for 20 years, making it possible to study the longer-term impact of microwave exposure to their users, but researcher Kjell Hansson Mild said it was too early to draw conclusions on the currently widely used digital Global System for Mobile Communications phones.

"Nothing can be said about GSM at this stage," said Hansson Mild, professor at the National Institute for Working Life and co-leader of the study.

"These are tumors that develop very slowly, and GSM does not have users who have been using it for 10 years," he said.

Wow... scary... any of you still have an analog phone??? Well get rid of the sucker. NOW!!!

I'm gone I'll catch you all again on Monday.

Creepy Michael. Poor kids.

First post!

On O&A (I am a casual listener, but nothing regular cause 20 minute commercial breaks make me pissy), that station is completely ruined now. They have had over 5 permutations of their morning show in a year, and their late night guys (Ron and Fez) are now ALSO their mid-day guys. Going to be two shifts of Ron and Fez with a Best of Show inbetween. Oh and the currently morning fool is That Farrell guy that plays heavy metal and works drinking jokes into his sports reports, about as interesting as watching paint dry, I'd say. They should go back to classic rock (WNEW was the original and longest-running classic rock station in NYC until they went all-talkie)

Anyways.. do anybody ELSE think this Fleetwood Mac thing is just a desperate attempt to wring a few more bucks from us? I love their work as a whole, but when a song (like Tusk) is on it's original album, the concert album, and THREE BEST OF's, you are REALLY reaching, aren't you? Give it a rest, RIAA.

why can't Donohue and his fucknuts just not listen to Opie and Anthony??

I don't like gay porn, so I make a strong effor to NOT watch it!!! So far i've been succesful for more than 17 years! (i'm 17)

No, they have to fucking ruin anything that they don't like, next they'll be going to dairy queen and forcing them to stop making blizzards because they think they're too creamy and evil, fuck you! go back under the rock you grew up under.

i couldn't agree more. Its very simple. The power button on the remote control turns the TV on and off. Push it when something comes on the you dont like. Its not rocket science.
