QUICK TAKES

On the radio

Starting today, "Bobby Flay Radio" will air weekly on SIRIUS XM Radio. The celebrity chef will offer advice to men on, well, pretty much everything, including dating, dining and how to nail a tough job interview. While food will be the focus, the call-in show will touch on everything from sports to current events. "Food transcends so much now," Flay said in a telephone interview. "It's become so much part of lifestyle. How you eat, plate it, how you dress and how you live all have a lot to do with one another." Flay is signed for a five-week run, but says he's open to more if the show goes well.

No cheating here

Call Brad Pitt what you will, but don't call him a cheater. In a story posted on W magazine's Web site, the actor says he didn't cheat on Jennifer Aniston with Angelina Jolie. In the article, the actor defends both women and says he didn't take up with Jolie until after he and Aniston split in 2005. Pitt says in the Jan. 20 issue that after he and Aniston split, filming for "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" continued and that his relationship with Jolie wasn't "some kind of dastardly affair."

Records sealed

Forty-eight-year-old Christopher Tanner of Anaheim, Calif., filed a paternity suit in June saying he was the biological son of late country singer Eddy Arnold. The results are in now, but Probate Judge Randy Kennedy on Monday ordered the records sealed. Arnold's family says the singer denied fathering Tanner. The family asked the judge to seal the records to limit damage to Arnold's reputation.

Concert slated

Jay-Z, who has been one of President-elect Barack Obama's supporters, won't be playing the inauguration, but he does have big plans for the eve of the event. Jay-Z has announced he's playing a concert in Washington on Jan. 19 at the Warner Theatre.

T.I. pays up

Calling it an oversight, rapper T.I. went to court and paid an $8,000 overdue lawyer bill for the mother of two of his sons. Lawyers for LaShon Dixon had asked a Fulton County, Ga., judge to intervene after T.I. -- whose real name is Clifford Harris -- failed to pay in November. The rapper had agreed to the payment as part of an ongoing child support case. During the Tuesday hearing, T.I. said the order to pay got lost when he changed assistants. "It was just a clerical error, totally innocent," he said. "I will accept full responsibility for that."
