Attention baseball fans: You can now create a digital bobblehead of yourself or a friend, wearing your favorite Major League Baseball uniform, courtesy of XM.

You choose any MLB uniform, upload a photo, and with a few clicks, you've got yourself a head-wagging bobblehead (complete with annoying rattle-sound). You can also download the image, and email it to your friends with a little musical accompaniment. The tuneful choices range from a lounge version of "Take Me out to the Ballgame" to a truly stunning a cappella rendition by Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz.

This is the latest addition to the free web site set up by XM to promote the broadcasts of every MLB game for every team. This is the same site that lets you send personalized phone messages from Ortiz and Derek Jeter and, and it now has ring tones and voice-mail greetings from Jeter and Big Papi, too.

The New York Post has officially retracted its story about the sex tape involving Opie's fiancée Lindsay and Bam Margera.

That's not a bad move, considering that Chaunce Hayden, who The Post is quoting in the story, admitted to FMQB of never actually seeing the tape (not to mention Bam himself said he knew nothing about it either).

Here's what Page Six wrote:

"ON April 23 we reported that the fiancée of Gregg "Opie" Hughes, one half of the Opie and Anthony radio show, was involved in an X-rated sex video with MTV star Bam Margera. We reported that Hughes was taking legal action against a disgruntled ex-employee of the radio duo who had acquired the rights to the video. We have since learned that this information, supplied by Steppin' Out's Chaunce Hayden, was entirely incorrect. There is no sex tape. Further, Hughes' fiancée has never met the MTV star. The Post sincerely regrets the error."

This comes after Chaunce Hayden published in his rag Steppin' Out last week that "I also believe that there is no sex video since nobody has come forward to present the evidence to the media." How convenient.

Maybe next time the Post won't use a "source" like Chaunce anymore... though, I doubt it.

And if you missed the Opie & Anthony show this morning where Bam Margera flat out denied the existence of a sex video featuring "an X-rated romp" with Opie's fiancee, you can hear the audio below:

The holes in the New York Post's story about a supposed sex tape featuring Opie's fiancée Lindsay (pictured above) and Bam Margera are widening... a lot.

Chaunce Hayden - who was quoted in the Page Six article as saying  "They're doing the nasty - and I mean nasty" - amazingly admitted to FMQB yesterday of actually never having seen the video. Apparently, he based his entire account of the contents of the video on the word of a single disgruntled ex-employee of the Opie & Anthony show.

"If that doesn't show that Chaunce has some sort of agenda, I don't know what else to tell you," said Opie on their show this morning.

The smoking gun was revealed this morning when Bam Margera himself called into the Opie & Anthony show, and denied that the sex tape exists.

"I think it's nonsense... if I filmed it, I filmed it myself. I never even heard of those dudes," said Margera referring to the ex-employee who supposedly bought the rights from Bam. "I would pay $100,000 to see it myself."

The conversation continued on to discuss how ridiculous and unsubstantiated the claims made by the New York Post were.

Opie thanked Margera for setting the record straight, "You're a stand up guy Bam. I greatly appreciate you coming forward... I just appreciate that someone did the right thing for once."

"I totally 100% believe that it's not true, and I'll match you on the 100-grand," added Margera.

Opie & Anthony even were more than happy to plug Margera's show on Sirius Faction (ch 28) which airs 7-8pm on Mondays.

The sad part is that the New York Post obviously didn't even bother to verify the story by simply contacting Bam Margera. The fact that Page Six even quoted Chaunce Hayden's account of the contents of the video - when he didn't even see it - is truly a lapse in journalistic integrity.

But then again, "Page Six" and "integrity" aren't necessarily synonmous with each other.

Photo Credit: Speaking of integrity, I don't know who took the above photo but it's the only photo of Opie's fiancee that I know of. So if you're took it, please contact me so I can give attribution.

There's nothing like a good ol' sex tape scandal to wake you up in the morning. The New York Post's gossip column Page Six published an article claiming that Gregg "Opie" Hughes is livid over a sex tape featuring his fiancée, Lindsay, and Bam Margera, sourcing a "disgruntled ex-employee of the radio duo."

During this morning's Opie & Anthony show of Opie categorically denied the story's veracity and offered $100,000 to anyone who can produce the tape.

Below is an excerpt from the New York Post article:

Gregg "Opie" Hughes is said to be livid over an X-rated romp starring his stunning blond fiancée, known by her first name, Lindsay, and MTV wildman Bam Margera. A disgruntled ex-employee of the radio duo recently acquired rights to the video from Margera and it's soon to be released on a pay-for-play Web site, reports Steppin' Out's Chaunce Hayden. "They're doing the nasty - and I mean nasty," Hayden says. "Hughes is taking legal action to prevent its distribution. Apparently, he's so distraught, he's banned the name 'Bam' from being mentioned on the show." Hayden says Lindsay was living in Philadelphia, Margera's stomping grounds, when she met him and made the tape "to gain some exposure." This was before Lindsay began dating Hughes.

But Opie denies that a tape exists and that he has even sought out legal action - pointing out that any legal action would be public record and that no such record exists.

In addition, Opie offered $100,000 to anyone who can produce a copy of the sex tape.

Following last week's announcement that Opie & Anthony have renewed their contract with CBS, Orbitcast has learned that the length of time for the renewal was for only 1-year.

Gregg "Opie" Hughes on the air today inadvertently mentioned that the contract was renewed for a year, a statement that was also confirmed with Orbitcast sources.

The reason? Why else: because of the pending merger with Sirius.

The merger agreement allows either company to only make certain long-term contractual agreements without the need for the other company's Board approval, and programming agreements are not one of them, according to sources.

It's a safe assumption that CBS and Opie & Anthony wanted a longer term, but that likely won't be possible while this merger is still pending. After the merger is consummated, then any contractual agreements can be revisited, but we need to cross that bridge first.

Opie and Anthony have renewed their contract with CBS Radio to continue to broadcast their morning radio show on both CBS and XM Satellite Radio.

"We are both very excited to be re-signing with CBS Radio," said Opie & Anthony in a statement. "Hosting morning drive on K-Rock in New York City has been a career highlight, and when you add in WBCN/Boston and WKRK/Cleveland it makes it even more special and fulfilling.

"That said ... we look forward to our next firing with great anticipation."

"CBS Radio is excited to be able to continue this unique partnership with Opie and Anthony," said CBS Radio VP of programming Chris Oliviero, "They have accomplished the rare radio feat of not only dominating afternoon drive but now bringing that same level of ratings success to the ultra competitive morning drive slot. We are thrilled to have O & A on our stations."

Terms and the length of the deal were not disclosed.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Pharmaceutical spokesman Jose Canseco dropped by Opie and Anthony's XM show this morning to talk baseball, steroids, and, of course, his new book "Vindicated: Big Names, Big Liars and the Battle to Save Baseball."

Following the interview, the towering Canseco posed for a picture with Jimmy Norton, Anthony, and Opie. The man looks like Gulliver compared to them.

Comedy Central on Wednesday unveiled that it is developing a new show to be hosted by the CBS/XM radio duo Opie and Anthony.

Entitled Search and Destroy, the show is described as a scavenger hunt in which "teams of comedians run amok in New York City." Each team faces off in head-to-head competitions and has a list of assignments they must complete.

Comedy Central unveiled Search and Destroy as part of its 2008-09 talent and development slate. Currently only one show has been officially picked up for the season: a medieval comedy show Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire, which will debut in early 2009.

Thanks Spencer!

While Opie & Anthony today officially made the move from delayed afternoon broadcasts to live morning-drive airings in Cleveland, word has come in that the dynamic duo is about to sign a new deal.

According to FMQB, Opie & Anthony are on the verge of inking a new deal that will keep them on both XM Satellite Radio as well as on regular radio stations run by CBS Radio and Citadel Broadcasting.

This would, of course, quickly dispel the rumor that Booker is taking over the b-b-boys slot at K-Rock once their CBS contract expires.
