  • Prince’s three-show mini-marathon last weekend was shut down by the police during a late-night club gig in his Minneapolis hometown. After sets at a department store (to promote his new cologne, 3121) and the Target Center arena, Prince took the First Avenue club’s stage at 2:45 AM — fifteen minutes before it was set to close.
  • Sharon Osbourne has announced that a lottery will be held at each stop on this summer’s Ozzfest tour to give away 3,000 seat upgrades.
  • Avril Lavigne’s response to allegations she stole her hit single “Girlfriend” from 1970s band the Rubinoos: “I had never heard this song in my life and their claim is based on five words! All songs share similar lyrics and emotions. As humans we speak one language.”
  • A trailer for the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic I’m Not There has surfaced on YouTube.
  • Clay Aiken reportedly got into a scuffle with a female passenger on board a flight to Tulsa, OK, that required an FBI response.

Minneapolis was crazy for those Prince concerts.

What’s Prince doing playing a gig so late on Saturday night? He has church the next day! For shame! You can’t play ‘Darling Nikki’ on the sabbath.

Thanks to Ozzfest seat upgrades, you can even closer to the total suckage. You can actually feel Tony Iommi’s riffs being stolen…

Avril’s right. As humans, we all speak one language, and it consists of three words: Call the lawyers.

Coolest casting in this Bob Dylan bizzaro-biopic: David Cross as Allen Ginsberg. Looks like all that training as quasi-homosexual Tobias Funke has finally paid off.

Clay Aiken is going to have to start shooting people as a way to get attention for the release of his new album…

Prince is always changing. In 1997 his cause was vegetarianism. Also in recent years he’s become much more conservative and Religious. He is a consistently excellent live performer. A very enigmatic and complicated man !

Clay Aiken once bragged about hating and harming cats. He has no talent or respect for life.

Clay was sleeping and his foot was touching her armrest. She tried to tap his foot to get him to move it and he didn’t wake up-so she hit him 3-4 times and yelled and cussed at him.

How do I know? There were many fans on this flight, as he had just given a Concert in Houston and was on his way to Tulsa for another Concert.

He joked about it during his Concert.

I know what happened in regards to clay aiken, He was on the flight and the passengers were becoming uncomfortable because his 15 inch dildo kept going off. Eventually an old lady said something about it, and he slammed it in her mouth breaking what little teeth she had left. The FBI became involved because sodomy is illegal on airplanes..simple as that.

if i ever encountered avril lavigne i would stab her in her dark witch’s heart.

Prince is the best live performer of his generation

I don’t know about the comment about clay having to shoot people to get attention. When a minor thing such a foot touching an armrest causes this much stir seems many many people are very interested in him. How many other people would cause this much stir over a stupid foot touching a armrest. No one. He will do fine with his next cd.

Some people are totally crazy. A guy falls asleep and his foot accidentally touches an armrest. So the lady starts hitting the guy over it. FBI get called in to investigate and inteview people. Boy, what is the world coming to when something this wacky gets so much coverage. It wouldn’t even be a story if it was anyone else. And who hasn’t “accidentally” touched upon someone else’s armrest on a small airplane. The woman must be a total nutcase to cause so much lunacy over it as to start hitting and screaming at the guy, regardless who he is.

Clay just blogged. He’s so right.
07/09/07 : Slow news day…

Well, I think the title of this blog is QUITE an understatement!
Never mind the children of Afghanistan, who got ZERO help from the media after UNICEF appealed for interest in that story.
Thank God for Entertainment Tonight! They were the only major outlet at all to care about the needs of those kids!
If I were the desperate and threatened children of northern Uganda, who also have gotten almost no attention from the press (again, with the same exception of ET), I would be upset and dismayed that a stupid celebrity non-story is the top story on most news sites today. Meanwhile, at this very moment in northern Uganda, over forty thousand children are sleeping in city streets to protect themselves from being raped and tortured, yet no one mentions them.
Then again, as much as the media seems to screw up the actual facts in a situation, maybe they’re better off anyway.

Current Mood: Confused

Who is Avril Leaving?

Brien Comerford: “Clay Aiken once bragged about hating and harming cats. He has no talent or respect for life.”

Are you a complete idiot, Brien? Clay accidently ran over his pet kitten when he was 16 & it died in his arms. His family says he was traumatized. Now he doesn’t like being around cats. I think you ought to go into journalism. Today’s media can’t seem to get their facts straight, either. You’d fit right in.

Rocky thinks his sick humor is funny. I see him one day laughing hysterically in a padded cell. Poor sick Rocky….or is it Rick?
