CAROLLA IN FOR STERN: Goodbye, Howard Stern. Hello, Adam Carolla.

It's finally been confirmed that the versatile host of Comedy Central's ``Too Late With Adam Carolla'' will replace Stern on Los Angeles talk radio KLSX-FM (97.1) in January. Carolla, known for co-hosting ``The Man Show'' and ``Loveline,'' will also be heard in San Diego, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Portland, Ore. Stern remains on the air at Infinity Broadcasting-owned KLSX through the end of the year before he makes the leap from terrestrial radio to Sirius Satellite Radio.

``Adam's depth of entertainment experience is unmatched in radio,'' said Joel Hollander, Infinity's chairman and CEO.

On East Coast stations, Stern's seat will be filled by ex-Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth, who appeared on the air Tuesday to announced the move.

Carolla, 41, was raised in North Hollywood and got his start in radio in 1994 after answering an ad seeking a boxing instructor to train Jimmy Kimmel, then a fixture on KROQ-FM's (106.7) ``Kevin and Bean Show.'' He eventually joined the show's cast as as Mr. Birchum, a wood-shop teacher.

YOUR CHANCE TO GET `PEACE': The envelope on which John Lennon handwrote the lyrics of ``Give Peace a Chance'' is going on the auction block. The words to the song, which Lennon and Yoko Ono recorded in a Montreal hotel room during a 1969 ``bed-in'' for peace, are on both sides of the envelope.

Bonhams auction house, which re-enacted the event Monday at Montreal's Queen Elizabeth Hotel, said it hopes to fetch at least $250,000 for the envelope at an auction in London next month.

Lennon and Ono caused a media frenzy by putting on their pajamas and inviting the world press to the eight-day event.

SECRET JACKSON DAUGHTER: Janet Jackson and James DeBarge, who were briefly married in 1984, had a daughter together, DeBarge's brother Young DeBarge has claimed on a radio program. Young DeBarge said the child, named Renee and now 18, has been living with Rebbie Jackson, Janet's oldest sister. His comments lent support to reports that have circulated for years claiming Janet has a ``secret'' daughter.

Jackson's publicist didn't immediately return a call from the Associated Press on Monday. The singer and James DeBarge were married for less than three months when she was just 18. The marriage was annulled a year later. ``James and the Jackson family kept everything real close, real tight,'' Young DeBarge said Friday on New York radio station WQHT, known as Hot 97. ``They weren't very revealing about what the relationship was about,'' he said. ``No one really knew how it was working out until things kind of surfaced.''
