Evanescence Running Out Of Musicians, Brandon Flowers Faces Fatherhood, And More

5/7/07, 9:05 am EST

Evanescence

  • Who IS in Evanescence anymore? According to reports, the band’s guitarist John LeCompt has been fired and drummer Rocky Gray has quit. “I’m done, and I’m pretty upset about it,” LeCompt said. “Amy Lee called and fired me today [Friday]. There’s absolutely no loyalty in this band.”
  • Congratulations Brandon! Apparently Flowers and and his wife Tana, a teacher back in Las Vegas, are expecting their first child together, a boy.
  • Remember those rumors that Sacha Baron Cohen was set to play Freddie Mercury? Yeah, they’re not true.
  • Akon’s dirty dancing ways have caught up with him and tour mate Gwen Stefani. Verizon is pulling Akon from their ads and has decided to pull their sponsorship of the Akon/Stefani tour as a result of a recent incident in which the rapper was caught getting down in a nasty (and some would say rape-simulating) way with the 14-year-old daughter of a Trinidadian minister.
  • Last week we reported that Courtney Love was planning to auction off lots of Kurt’s old stuff. Now, apparently, she may change her mind.
  • If you were all worked up over the rumor that Jay-Z was in a plane crash over the weekend, relax. Hova is fine.

Wow…so much hate for Amy Lee. I personally like her voice and think she is talented. I was uaware that the band was in shambles. I’d like to see them come back a lil stronger tho. Thier latest effort spawned one good song and that’s it.

You people are hillarious. You hear a story and get one side of it and immediately start piling on like you were in the room when it all went down.

How do ANY of you know what’s going on in the Evanescence camp? All you know is that the guitarist SAYS he was called and fired, but you don’t know the reason for it, nor do I, for that matter but I’m not passing any judgements on the who, what, why of it.

I swear by reading some of these posts, I’m thinking that most of you are below the age of 14.

Grow up…

I saw the Akon video. It would not have been okay even if the girl had been 18. It was very rough and went on for a long time.

Psst… cota! Only people on the american side of the pond haven’t heard any babyshambles. they’re quite popular in britain. maybe you should take a listen, even if pete is a coke addicted paparazzi-whore and they never make tour dates, what they do manage to lay down is surprisingly ok. (not that i’ll ever be caught dead defending his crackheadedness, mind you)

Is Amy Lee the Ugly sibling of Rush Bassist Geddy Lee ?? LOL LOL !!

Weed head | 5/7/2007, 3:47 pm EST

Who’s Pete Doherty ?

bored | 5/7/2007, 3:44 pm EST

Of course Courtney Love is changing her mind about the selling off of kurt’s stuff. All she wants is press coverage. She sooooo lame!!

Freddy Mercury | 5/7/2007, 3:07 pm EST

Doherty=Oasis of the 21st century. Overrated in every way.

Nikkidoo | 5/7/2007, 3:05 pm EST

Why is it so surprising when rappers do something like this, or worse? Many of them were criminals before they became famous. Maybe record companies should stop signing these types of people and the cycle can end.

Marc | 5/7/2007, 2:40 pm EST

Amy Lee is just upset because the new record sucks. She def needs to get Ben back in the group.

Limey Scum | 5/7/2007, 2:35 pm EST

I enjoy the wang of Pete Doherty.

yeaaaaaa stan | 5/7/2007, 2:23 pm EST

OH, and evanescence blows… they’re more bland than popcorn without salt.

yeaaaaaa stan | 5/7/2007, 2:22 pm EST

Akon once simulated rape on me…. I’ll never forget it. It was the greatest hump of my life. Next to the time lindsay lohan thought i had cocaine on my dick… turned out it was just confectionary sugar from the french toast that i sexually mutilated that morning…

Sean Hannity | 5/7/2007, 1:32 pm EST

Hi, i’m a facsist pig.

Ronald Reagan | 5/7/2007, 1:10 pm EST

Wow, it’s hot down here in hell.

N.O.Y.B. | 5/7/2007, 12:53 pm EST

Message to the ignorant: it is quite possible to not be a fan of either Fall Out Boy or Good Charlotte AND not give two shits about Doherty at the same time. It’s not difficult.

alarmed | 5/7/2007, 12:50 pm EST

the alarmists

Stuporfly | 5/7/2007, 12:50 pm EST

I’m fairly tired of Pete’s shenanigans, but I’ll still echo everything Doherty Rules said.

MichaelFL | 5/7/2007, 12:44 pm EST

I want to second cota’s comment

Pete Doherty | 5/7/2007, 12:23 pm EST

I’m irrelevant, except to my coke dealer.

cota | 5/7/2007, 12:20 pm EST

I would die a happy man if i never had to read about “Baby shambles” or Pete Doherty EVER again. Not only do we not care about him and his band, no one i know of has ever even heard a song of theirs (i will admit, maybe thats half of the problem!!)

Doherty rules | 5/7/2007, 12:15 pm EST

5 years from now, when you catch up to what some of us already know and tell your hipster friends that you bought The Libertines CD’s when they came out, you’ll understand.

Until then enjoy Fall Out Boy and Good Charlotte. I’m from Colorado, so spare us the witty Limey comments.

Tim | 5/7/2007, 12:10 pm EST

So far this year Courtney Love has claimed to have been invited to be a guest judge on American Idol, which the show`s producer denied.Also claimed to be dating Bruce Willis because he kissed her once at a party,and lost 44 pounds in 2 months through sheer will power.Now the Kurt auction thing.She certainly knows how to work the media.

Ashburner | 5/7/2007, 12:09 pm EST

Yeah, almost everything here is just admitting that what you guys reported originally was, in fact, completely wrong. Without, of course, admitting that you were wrong in reporting it. Good spin!

Tigerdriver | 5/7/2007, 12:02 pm EST

“Americans don’t care about Pete Doherty, you limey.”

Reread the comment, jackass. That’s the entire point.

Bodhi K | 5/7/2007, 11:59 am EST

Evanesence is the worst band on the planet. Those guys should be happy they got fired. Amy Lee is a total bitch and should quit music all together.

abandonedstation | 5/7/2007, 11:55 am EST

Amy Lee seems to be getting less goth and more diva everyday. More attractive to the mainstream audiences, and less relevant to anyone…

Yaay! Brandon Flowers fucked! Who’d have guessed? A rock star fucking his wife!

Was Akon judging AND participating in this ’simulated rape’ dance contest? ‘Cause that’s not fair.

Let’s switch up the dispelled rumors to make them fresh again!
Sacha Baron Cohen is auctioning Kurt’s things, Jay-Z’s gonna play Freddie Mercury, and Courtney Love was in a plane crash!

Anonymous | 5/7/2007, 11:39 am EST

Americans don’t care about Pete Doherty, you limey.

Tigerdriver | 5/7/2007, 11:33 am EST

Waitaminnit, didn’t Pete Doherty get arrested on drug charges this weekend? And RS isn’t all over it like flies on crap? Dear God, could we actually be entering a whole new era of “Doherty-less” RS online reporting? We can only hope.

Jon | 5/7/2007, 11:29 am EST

Basically all your news is just dispelling rumors that you originally reported, huh.

Stuporfly | 5/7/2007, 11:27 am EST

Everything about Evanescence is dullsville. So their drummer isn’t around anymore. Big deal - they can scour Hot Topic in any suburban mall in America and find another shithead with bad piercings to play along with their horrid music.
