PUT your music knowledge to the test with Rudyoke this week during Red FM's Breakfast Show with Rudy and Jeremy (Monday to Friday, 6am-10am), and you won't be the one singing for your supper as there's a delicious prize in store for you.

Listen up and listen hard as you need to guess the song being sung by random strangers belting their hearts out. If you get it right, you win dining vouchers worth RM200 from Holiday Inn Kuala Lumpur Glenmarie hotel. A wide range of dining options is awaiting the lucky "music guru" of the day at this tranquil retreat.

If you missed getting your hands on that yummy prize, fret not because you can try catching the Red FM deejays to win cash, gadgets and most importantly a brand new car.

The Red FM's Runaway DJs contest will see the announcers including Rudy and Jeremy taking turns to hit the road in a Proton Inspira. They will be stopping at secret destinations every weekday and you have to find out where they are.

Hints of their whereabouts will be given out every hour on air as well as online through Red FM's Facebook Fan page and Twitter. Compete to be the first listener to turn up at the correct location and identify the Red FM's Runaway DJ. You then win cash and a key which will take you to the finale for the chance to drive away with a brand new Proton Inspira!

Be on the alert because we will be rewarding bonus prizes such as iPad 2s and iPod Nanos at selected times. You could also win a key if the Red Ryders spot your car with the Red FM Runaway DJs car stickers on it. The Red Ryders will be distributing these special car stickers during their stops, so walk up and take one for yourself.

Charlie Sheen's 'winning' ways get roasted on TV

Posted: 10 Sep 2011 10:59 PM PDT

LOS ANGELES: He may have looked like he was ''winning,'' but actor Charlie Sheen took it on the chin Saturday night at a Comedy Central TV roast where his sex life, drug use and talent drew punches - and punch lines.

Sheen, once TV's highest paid actor on the comedy series ''Two and a Half Men'' before he was fired in March by the CBS network, has seen numerous ups and downs in recent years.

He was arrested on charges of assaulting his former wife Brooke Mueller, who turned out for the Comedy Central roast.

He saw his drug and alcohol use make headlines around the world. And after his firing, Sheen went on a public rant against his old bosses.

The actor, 46, posted videos of himself online saying he had ''tiger blood'' and was always ''winning'' against rivals.

He dated two women at one time he called his goddesses, and some onlookers wondered if he had become mentally unstable.

''This is hard. How do you roast a meltdown?'' joked comedian Jeffrey Ross, dressed in military costume to look like a caricature of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

''How much blow can Charlie Sheen do?'' asked former ''Saturday Night Live'' comedian Jon Lovitz, ''Enough to kill 'Two and a Half Men.'''

Rocker Slash ushered Sheen onto the Comedy Central stage, and host Seth MacFarlane introduced the roasters - an odd mix of celebrities including Ross, Lovitz, actor William Shatner, actress Kate Walsh, ''Jackass'' stuntman Steve-O and former world heavyweight champion boxer Mike Tyson.

While many of the jokes used language too strong for print, as is typical of these programs, the roasting of Sheen was fairly lukewarm compared to others.

Through it all, the actor, dressed in a gray suit and red tie, sat in his chair and took the hits, mostly laughing, sometimes rolling his eyes.

''It's true I've hung around a lot of shady characters,'' Sheen said when he took the microphone for his turn to speak, ''but to have you all here on one night is really special.''

The Comedy Central roast airs on Sept. 19.
