Sirius' Raw Dog channel (ch 104) is covering the "Star Wars Celebration IV" at the Los Angeles Convention Center, which started today (May 24th) at 12-noon ET and will continue through Tuesday, May 29th.

Star Wars Celebration IV is the biggest Star Wars party ever.  Thirty years ago, Star Wars opened in theaters and took audiences on a groundbreaking journey to a galaxy far, far away. It instantly seized the public's imagination, and three decades later still claims that grasp. The event brings the best of the Star Wars universe together in one place for a weekend that’s designed by fans for fans.

Coverage begins with reports from today’s "fan club only" events and includes a full weekend of reports that will include droid building, costume contests, Jedi training, the “Stormtrooper Olympics” and sneak peeks at the all-Star Wars episodes of Family Guy and Robot Chicken.

Sirius is also staging a final battle between Darth Vader and Yoda for the best two characters as voted by fans in Sirius’ "Duel of Fates." The winner will be announced at 12 noon ET on Tuesday.

Judith ReganJudith Regan and her show on Sirius are undergoing some changes.

First she's been telling friends that she's going into the art business, according to a RADAR source. RADAR also notes that Judith's public profile has been diminishing ever since her OJ Simpson book created controversy in the headlines.

Her weekly two-hour talk show on Sirius Stars (ch 102) was recently bumped from its regular daytime slot and now only airs twice between midnight and 4am ET.

Could Regan eventually get phased out? One could only hope.

Friday, May 4, 2007 at 2:47 PM

Cosmo RadioSirius is broadcasting the COSMO Radio Confessathon - tomorrow, May 5th starting at 2pm ET - on Sirius' Cosmo Radio (ch 111).

The special will feature 500 real confessions based on the magazine's popular "Confessions" and "Guy Confessions" columns.

From dating disasters and sex snafus (grrr) to bad office behavior (grrr) and the shocking things people say behind their friends' backs (grrr?), hear the hilarious and scandalous (grrr) messages left on COSMO Radio's voicemail.

COSMO Radio will also give men and women the chance to spill their naughtiest secrets live on air during the broadcast. (Grrr.)

But wait, there's more.

The COSMO Radio Confessathon will also include confessions from people whose jobs and lives make them privy to some extra juicy scoop-like a Miami socialite who regularly parties until sunrise, a celebrity trainer who knows what the stars really do to get red-carpet ready, and two backup dancers who have performed with some of the biggest acts in pop music.

Tune in tomorrow at 2pm ET, and stay tuned in, because the Confessathon won't end until all the confessions have aired.
