Some people really do need to get a life
How’s this for obsessive fandom? It is claimed that at least a dozen people have committed suicide over the death of Michael Jackson. London man Gary Taylor, who owns the biggest Michael Jackson online fan club, said he was aware of about 12 suicides following the performer’s death. In Australia, Lifeline CEO Dawn O’Neil said [...]
Yes, Michael Jackson is dead
So I believe from the news yesterday and today. There has just been a little bit of coverage of his death. Now I will admit to being no fan of Michael Jackson. Indeed I hated his music and mocked him as a freak and a paedophile. (Indeed for years I had my wife convinced that [...]
Oh Nose
Apparently Michael Jackson lives in fear that his nose will fall off. He has been diagnosed with some skin cancers on his nose, as well as his chest and arm. I’m more inclined to put it down to the excessive and bad plastic surgery. You be the judge.
The $500m woman
Mel Gibson’s new girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva. Gibson stands to lose half of his estimated $1 billion fortune in the divorce which his wife Robyn has filed for. According to reports, the Gibsons have been secretly separated for a couple of years, but she filed for divorce after reports that Oksana is pregnant by him. I [...]
17 Again
I got talked into seeing the Zac Efron movie “17 Again” yesterday. My daughter wanted to see it, I was not so keen, being a bit “hmm, Zac Efron, ok this will be like High School Musical”. Waiting in the cinema for the movie to start didn’t do anything to change my perceptions – about [...]
Let’s flog this for all its worth, and then some more
That comment applies to both the forthcoming movie “Free Willy 4”, and to the promotion of Bindi Irwin. If you believe the publicity, Bindi is apparently a great actor already. According to her manager, who is also one of the film’s producers by the way,while Bindi had been nervous about remembering her lines, she had [...]
Never in doubt
If there was ever an Oscar that was a certainty, money in the bank if you bet on it, it was the best supporting actor award that Heath Ledger won today. I mean, he was very good in the part, and most likely would have won on his own merits, but dying between making the [...]
INXS = pathetic
I read that INXS singer JD Fortune has been sacked from the band, apparently due to his drug use. Fortune won his place in the band in a TV contest. That says it all, I think. INXS should have quit when Michael Hutchence died. Their continued attempts at existence beyond that point have been simply [...]
Cool – listen to Neko Case and help animals
Those of you who have read my blog for a while will know I’m a huge fan of Neko Case, the American alt-country singer. She has a new record coming out in March which I’m looking forward too. “Middle Cyclone” is her follow up to the wonderful “Fox Confessor Brings the Flood”. I recommend having [...]
Creative differences
These are often cited as the reason a band breaks up, but a band in Italy called Soul Cry took theirs to extreme lengths. THE singer in an Italian teen gothic metal band and her brother allegedly stabbed the band’s guitarist dozens of times because he did not play well enough. The 18-year-old singer, Cristina [...]
