Go on the Cher!!!! The wrinkly legend said on Tuesday that she thought Michael Jackson was ‘Nuts! ”I don't like him anymore. And it's because of his children. I cannot imagine putting my children through what he put his children through."

What's the story?  - with Wayne Scales

Freedom 92FM finds some strange but very true storys’ from this weeks news...

Authorities at Dublin Zoo, worried by the erratic behaviour of their female polar bear, commissioned a study to find the problem and discovered she simply had a bad case of marital stress.

Experts monitored the behaviour of the bear and her mate and concluded the female's constant, agitated pacing of their shared enclosure was due to the male. " Now the pair, Ootec and Spunky, are to be moved to new accommodation in eastern Hungary where Spunky can chill out in her own exclusive space.

A Detroit radio station has been told by federal regulators to clean up its act or face losing its broadcast licence after airing explicit sex talk that included violence against women.

The Federal Communications Commission proposed fining Infinity's 97.1 WKRK-FM station $27,500 (11,000 Euro) for the January 9, 2002 "Deminski & Doyle Show" broadcast between 4:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., during which the on-air personalities asked listeners to call to talk about strange sex techniques.

Genetically fattened flies may help humans lose weight, according to a German scientist.

U.S.-led forces say they have renamed Baghdad's Saddam International Airport to drop the name of the Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
