Assault with a Deadly ?Idol? Contestant

Jessica Sierra was arrested today. You might not have remembered her stint as a finalist on the 2005 season of ?American Idol,? and maybe that?s part of her anger. Jessica seemed to find the urge to bash a man over the head with a pint glass irresistible. Pop music can do strange things to women. Well, so does all that cocaine they found on her.

It all comes down to where a girl is from I guess. Jessica hails from that classiest of places, Tampa Florida. Now, I?ve spent some time in that part of the country, and this story is not surprising to me at all. Girls from that part of the state are completely crazy, and spend a LOT of time wandering the isles at Walmart and two o?clock in the morning. What I am confused about is why they let her out of jail on only $11, 500 bail. Don?t they realize that she?s a Southern girl and likely to haul off and toss some more barware around?

Rapper Eve arrested for drunk driving

She was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol after she crashed her Maserati in Hollywood early Thursday.

The crash occurred about 2:45 a.m. on Hollywood Boulevard said police officer Martha Garcia. Eve was submitted to testing the alcohol in her blood but the results weren?t immediately available.

After that she was arrested and booked of misdemeanor drunken driving and posted $30 000 bail. She should return to court on 17 May.

Eve entered music as prot?g? of Dr. Dre. She won Grammy for her song ?Let me blow ya mind? featuring Gwen Stefani. She also took part in some movies like ?XXX?, ?Barber Shop? and its sequel.

Eve has become one of the many stars who have been arrested for drunken driving. For Paris Hilton for instance this has become something usual and recently she had such problem again. It looks like the stars are not so good drivers and they can?t act as model when it?s up to driving. Maybe they should do what they are good at and leave the driving to someone else who can do it without getting drunk. There are drivers for this purpose.

 

Britney Back on Stage

Britney Back on Stage

Britney Spears has scheduled a pair of gigs at the House of Blues in Southern California. It?s been a long time since she looked like this, and she will no doubt have to wear a wig, but sing she will, with a group called m+m dancing backup. May 2nd you can see her at the Anaheim House of Blues (It?s Downtown Disney for you family folk) and the next day at the House of Blues on the sunset strip.

I honestly think this girl couldn?t make a worse decision. She has obviously had a serious fracture from reality, and her only saving grace so far is that she isn?t performing out in public where her fans can see how far she?s gone. Now she will be up on stage at the worst part of her life, dancing her old routines with her flabby arms and shaved head. I wish I could get a ticket. It?s going to be one hell of a show.

Mischa Barton loves dogs

The former ?OC? actress admitted that her dog is her boyfriend. Mischa who is now single said that she is not worried about finding a new guy because she is in love with her pet pooch Charlie.
She said in an interview with You magazine: ?My dog is always my boyfriend. Charlie is the best. I got him when I broke up with Brandon Davis. He will always be my number one man and he knows that. The dogs are a huge part of my downtime. Actually it?s shocking how much you can become absorbed by them.?
Mischa isn?t the only star who is obsessed by pets.
Christina Aguilera said she and her executive husband Jordan Bratman treat their dogs like their babies.
She revealed: ?One day we want to have kids and start a family but I?m very focused on my career right now. Besides we have three dogs so we already have a mini-family to take care of.?
It has become fashionable all stars to have some kind of a pet and take it with them wherever they go. I don?t know for you but I would be very happy to be one of those animals and be pampered and have the love on of those famous people.

tTapping into Live Earth

In the greatest news in a long time, Spinal Tap has announced they will reunite for this summer?s environmental music festival, Live Earth.? I cannot explain how excited I am about this, and for the first time am sorely tempted to buy a plain ticket to London in July.? Nigel Tufnel, David St. Hubbins and Michael Derek Small will be playing on the UK leg of the 24 hour music fest.? For those of you who don?t know about Spinal Tap, they are a fake rock band created for the Rob Reiner mockumentary ?This is Spinal Tap.?? In fact, they will be shooting another film explaining their connection with the environment to be shown at the Tribeca Film Festival.

This is the same group (Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer, Michael McKean) responsible for my favorite of the repertory film groups and modern classics such as ?A Mighty Wind? and ?Best in Show.?? I urge everyone reading to go out and rent ?This is Spinal Tap? this very moment.? Netflix it, Blockbuster it, whatever you must.? It?s a film no music lover should miss.

The godfather of go-go who after the death of Eva Cassidy decided not to release any new songs has decided it?s time to start his career again. ?After we lost her I didn?t want to do anymore studios work.? Brown tells.
But the cajoling of the songwriter Chucky Thompson and business manager Tom Goldfolge changed Brown?s tune. ?We?re About the Business? is the musician?s first set after Cassidy?s death.
One of Brown?s most famous singles are ?Blow Your Whistle? and ?Tambourine?.
?When Blow first came out there were kids riding bicycles, blowing whistles and shaking tambourines. That tune is classic.? Brown says.
As is Brown himself. He is still and energetic fixture of the D.C. club circuit. Brown and his Soul Searchers have been preaching the gospel music since the 70?s. Brown starts his career from piano-playing, church bred youth to guitar-strumming member of a Latin group covering top 40 songs. Inspirations for him were James Brown, bluesmen B.B King and Muddy Waters and jazz icon Ella Fitzgerald and Wes Montgomery.
Brown has still much to give his fans so it?s great that he has decided it?s time to start his life again. I am certain there are lots of people happy of this fact.

You too can play like Hendrix
If you have ever wondered how you can learn to rip it up like Jimi Hendrix, now?s your chance. Tomorrow Guitar World will release a 16-page tribute to the famed guitarist, and in this special issue is a bonus DVD. The instructional video shows you how to play his entire album, ?Axis: Bold As Love.? In addition to the how-to guide to mace melting, the DVD also gives some historical background to the making of the album, a must have for any Hendrix fan. All told, there are thirteen songs for you to learn. I say you, because I can?t play the guitar to save my life.

For the low price of ten bucks you can have yourself some quality classic rock instruction in how the master does it. Personally, I?m more interested in the spread on Hendrix, but that might be because I am not legally allowed to pick up a guitar again in the contiguous United States. It was an ugly seen, don?t ask.

Madonna adopting a Malawian kid?

As you already know she is now with her daughter Lourdres and her adopted son David in Malawi. There she visited orphanage where she met Grace a little girl who has no relatives and has been living there since she was three months old.

Sources have told that despite denying the information she is going to adopt another child. Madonna has told her friends that she wants to find a sister for her new son David and is considering welcoming Grace into her family.

Madonna had just a 15 minute meeting with Grace but she was fascinated and wanted a 15-minute film to be made of the little girl. It seems despite denying Madonna really liked this child.

But even if she has decided to adopt a new child Madonna hasn?t made her choice yet. According to the Malawian adoption laws she has to meet with another 10 kids before making her mind up. It?s not certain if Grace would be the child Madonna will take with her but all facts point that she is the favorite.

Madonna?s representatives deny the rumor that she is in Malawi to make an adoption.

?She is absolutely not adopting another baby. I know that has been rumor ever since? she began the adoption process of her son David but it?s just isn?t true.? a spokesman of Madonna said.

 

Spears Family Sparring

All is not well in the Spears household, as if we didn?t know.? Jamie Spears, Britney?s father, has issued statements apologizing to Britney?s management.? Why would he believe that something needed to be said?? Basically, Britney?s a bitter little brat, and in her faux interviews spewed venom all over the place about how out of touch her management was when they sent her to rehab.? Obviously the girl needed to go, but she didn?t see it that way.? The first step is admitting you have a problem Brit, honestly.? And so Jamie Spears set out to make amends in the Britney camp, trying his best to smooth things over.?

?Did it work?? Well, perhaps her management is happier, but Britney isn?t.? I guess her biting tongue isn?t just reserved for the people who work for her, since Britney promptly told reporters that she?s praying for her father, since they have never been close.? ?It’s sad that all the men that have been in my life do not know how to accept a real woman’s love. I am concentrating on my work and my life right now.?? Exactly how dysfunctional can this girl get?? It?s time Jamie Spears stopped talking and started taking a strap to that girls behind.? Maybe then she would start acting sensible.

 

Paris Hilton driving problems

paris-hilton-driving-problems

Paris is ordered to appear in the court on 4 May for her accusation of driving with suspended driver?s license. This could result in a sentence of up to 90 days in jail.

Paris is notorious for her driving problems. This is not her first time in court for such reason. In January she was arrested and sentenced to 36 months? probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines for alcohol-related reckless driving.

But this didn?t stop her. In February her car was pulled over on Sunset Boulevard and she was ticketed for misdemeanor driving with suspended license.

On the hearing for her new driving case Miss Hilton wasn?t present and the hearing was conducted almost entirely with lawyers at the bench speaking in hushed tones with the judge.

What do you think would be the judge decision? Would Paris get into jail after all or she would only get a probation period again?

So Long Sanjaya

We knew it had to happen, and it has.? Sanjaya has finally been voted off American Idol.? His staying power has been a source of fascination for thousands, including yours truly.? But on tonight?s Idol said goodbye to the underdog with the weak voice and the weird hair.? We?ve all been watching to see how long he would stay, and the votes were loud and clear, all 38 million of them.? It was over.?

?Poor Sanjaya was all teary as he said goodbye to the show, but he had to have known it wouldn?t last.? In order to win that competition you have to have something more than a good heart and a cute smile:? you have to be able to sing.? What I wonder is, exactly how over is it for him?? So many fans were rooting for him, so have we seen the last of Sanjaya?? Or, will he end up another celebrity famous for the sake of being famous?? Only time will tell.? I know one thing though, there is one special person out there that is crying along with Sanjaya:? Howard Stern.

 

Girls Aloud splitting?

Girls Aloud splitting?According to tabloids Girls Aloud are going on separate ways in September. The five piece pop warehouse that become famous with some really great hits and thousands of fans. It looks like the girls have decided that they have taken enough from the band and they have to start a solo career. They will start their own projects after a Greatest Hits tour and participation in some festivals.

A representative told ?The band will finish this year and all the girls are focusing on what they want to do next.?

This scenario looks a little familiar don?t you think? Can you remember another group who splitted like that? If Girls Aloud spit they will join the fate of other bands like Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys etc.

The girls themselves haven?t confirmed this rumor so there is hope for the fans that they would be able to hear once again ?Sound of the Underground?.

A little happier news about Girls Aloud is that they have signed a contract to advertise Sunsilk hair products.

Carrie Owns the CMTs

 

A handful of American Idol contestants can really claim to have made it big. Carrie Underwood is definitely one of those contestants. Tonight?s Country Music Television Awards honored Carrie not once or twice, but three times. She took home awards for video of the year, female video and best video director. All the awards were given for her weirdly popular song ?Before He Cheats.? Now, I?m not a country music lover or anything, but any song that includes a girl whacking things with a baseball bat is okay by me.

Curious? Yeah I was too. Here?s the video on You Tube. Its lots of fun. This is definitely not the girl that you want to cross, especially if you care anything about your car. With all my issues with American Idol, it?s nice to see actual talent get noticed. If only more singers got a break the way Carrie did, with or without the Louisville Slugger.

 

 

Sheryl Crow will teach students how important is to preserve our nature

Sheryl Crow will teach students how important

Sheryl is now on a tour. But not a musical one. She is visiting schools to explain children how important the preservation of the nature is. Crow is a prominent environmentalist and she is taking part in such campaigns as much as she can. This is a personal issue for her because when she was a little girl she had lived with her parents on the Gulf Coast where the environment is suffering now and there are risks of terrible storms.

While on the tour Crow is performing some songs to show her ideas in a more interesting style which will attract children?s attention easily. ?A Change Will Do You Good? and ?Everyday Is A Winding Road? are one of the songs which help Sheryl in her initiative.

Along with Crow?s environmental undertakings she is releasing a new album pretty soon too. It will be kind of different from her last works, because the songs will be about what is going on around us. This way she is trying to make us think over those problems. ?People will be very surprised? she said. Hope the surprise will be a nice one.

Jennifer Lopez denied having problems with her husband. On the contrary she looks really happy with him. And if someone should take the prize ?the biggest fan of Jennifer? this would be her husband for sure. He supports her in everything she does. On the presentation of her new album-?Ama Una Mujer? in New York, Marc proved it again. On the stage, when Jennifer had been talking about how much her mother and sister had helped her, he screamed from the hall ?You are so cute!?. They look like the perfect match for each other and they miss only one thing – a heir. I am sure, very soon this will happen too because they sure look they are made for each other.

The newest rumor about this actress is that she has a new boyfriend. She has been spotted to spend Easter with her new love Ryan Reynolds who previously was fianc? of Alanis Morisette. After this the tabloids acclaimed that Scarlet and Jessica Biel have argued for the heart of Ryan and as we can see maybe the winner is Scarlet. We can?t be sure that they are together, because one dinner doesn?t mean that they are going out like more than friends, but if so this would be great. Hollywood will have its next couple to talk about and discuss. So I’m expecting these days we will be able to read more about this and can understand whether this is true or not.

Pete Doherty and Carl Barat played 13 songs at the second of Doherty’s “An Evening With Pete Doherty” gigs at the Hackney Empire.

Then Barat came onstage, wearing a Dior Homme suit and a trilby.

The duo played 13 Libertines classics including “What Katie Did” and “Time For Heroes.”

They whispered and hugged each other in between songs. During their cover of “Dream A Little Dream,” Barat did a tapdancing routine.

They encored with the song “The Delaney,” left the stage, and then re-emerged triumphantly holding each other’s hands in the air.

The party continued at the back of the venue, after the gig, with Doherty and Barat performing an impromptu version of “Can’t Stand Me Now.” Doherty’s girlfriend Kate Moss was present.

Prior to Barat taking to the stage for the reunion, Doherty played a number of songs solo and with guest Andrew Wess and Bert Jansch, including “Killamangiro” and “Cyclops.”
