MICK AND KEITH KISS AND MAKE UP

Great news for Stones fans... Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are talking again.  And...they're talking tour!!! The two have on the outs since the release of Richard's autobiography (great book) in 2010 in which among other things, he claims Jagger has a tiny penis (ouch!) Jagger tells Rolling Stone magazine, "Looking back at any career you are bound to recall both the highs and the lows. "In the 1980s for instance Keith and I were not communicating very well. I got very involved with the business side of the Stones, mainly because I felt no one else was interested, but it's plain now from the book that Keith felt excluded, which is a pity. Time I reckon to move on." And like the song says...Time is on their side...OR NOT. Anyhow...I'm glad they're going to rock out again.  Now if they could only get Bill Wyman back in the fold...

WHITNEY

Whitney Houston died Saturday. She was 48. The cause of death has not yet been made public. Paramedics were called to the hotel In Beverly Hills where Whitney was staying during Grammy festivities in the afternoon, and found her unresponsive in her room.. Paramedics' attempts at CPR failed and she was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. PST. There were no signs of foul play. Whitney had been planning to attend Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy Awards party. (It was Clive who discovered and signed her to Arista Records in the early 80's). Such a gifted performer. Such a troubled lady. I hope she's finally at peace.

THE TEN BIGGEST A-HOLES IN SHOW BUSINESS

(In no particular order, but numbered because I like to number things)




10) Kanye West:  2 words:  SHUT UP
                           15 more words:  TAYLOR SWIFT SHOULD HAVE HAD HER BODYGUARDS KICK THE CRAP OUT OF YOUR SORRY ASS.




9)  Alec Baldwin:  See above, but substitute the words "YOUR DAUGHTER" for "TAYLOR SWIFT"

8)  Russell Crowe:  His huge ego is matched only by his anger management problem.

7)  Joan Rivers:  Her material is downright ugly, which might be tolerable if she wrote it herself.












6)  Charlie Sheen:  Hey…I like Charlie, but…WHOOP…WHOOP..WHOOP…WHOOP..WHOOP…WHOOP. 
 Pardon me friends... that's just my a-hole detector going off!!!

5) Lindsay Lohan:  There's part of me that feels really sorry for her but her attitude needs a whole heap o' fixin.












4)  3-WAY TIE:  Jessica Simpson's Father/Lindsay Lohan's Mother/Lindsay Lohan's Father:  There's a special place in hell reserved for those who pimp their kids.  Earn your own money, and have your respective daughters cover up their boobies.


3) Uggy (the dog from "The Artist"):  Uggy doesn't care who he poops on in his ruthless claw to reach the poochie yummies.  To his credit though, I heard he peed on Donald Trump's pant-leg.


2)  Rosie O'donell:  She's mean, she's fat, she's ugly, but hey…she keeps getting hot chicks to lick her naughty bits.  B*TCH!!!

1)  Ricky Gervais:  He's an over-rated one trick pony with an ego matched only by Russell Crowe's anger management problem. ( Refer back to number 10, but substitute

the words "KIM CATTRELL" for "TAYLOR SWIFT").


















Trust me folks, this is just scratching the surface of the show business scum-bucket pool.  Another 10 will undoubtedly find their way to this blog in the nearest of near futures.
     

FINGER FUN

NBC and the NFL are apologizing for the "rude gesture" flipped by British hip hop singer M.I.A. during her halftime performance at yesterday's Superbowl.


M.I.A. joined Madonna and Nikki Minaj onstage and was singing the new Madonna hit "Gimme All You Lovin" when she flipped the world the bird.


TSK, TSK!!! Naughty rapper!!!


An NFL spokesman blamed NBC's broadcast delay system.  An NBC Sports Spokesman said it was the NFL's fault for putting on a half-time show featuring hip-hop entertainers.


YAWN!!!


NFL BIG-SHOTS TAKE NOTE:  If you hire rappers to be the half-time entertainment at a family oriented sporting event and expect them to behave themselves, you're idiots.  Obscenity is their stock-in-trade.  It's what puts them booties in the seats!   Want a trouble free show?  Hire the Muppets.


And what (you ask) about Madonna's performance???


Another big YAWN from me.


P. Diddy tweeted that Madonna gave "the best half-time performance of all time".  I guess crystal meth has a way of making the world look rosier.

MILEY, MILEY MILEY...

You've heard about them...here they are...The infamous Miley Cyrus penis-cake photos.


Harmless fun at a party???  Yes.


Stupid idea on Miley's part to let herself be photographed fake-licking a big penis cake???  You bet.


Will she ever learn?  Hopefully before Billy-Ray has a massive cardiac!


(By the way, the cake, complete with simulated open sore on the tip, was  her boyfriend's birthday cake.  There's a story there somewhere, but I don't think I want to hear it)!

WILD THING

Remember that great song from the 60's "Wild Thing???  What a tune!!!  "Wild Thing, You make my heart sing..."  Awsome number, covered by everyone from Jimi Hendrix to a guy that had a hit with a recording of it done in a (President) Richard Nixon voice.  The song was written by Chip Taylor (Jon Voit's Brother, Angelina Joli's Uncle) and was a huge an influential hit for British group The Troggs.


Well a little more sad news from the  music biz...The Troggs frontman Reg Presley has been forced to retire.  He is apparently extremely ill with lung cancer and will no longer be able to front the band, as he has (in fits and starts)  for almost half a century.


Reg, who's a very young 70, was treated for pneumonia and fluid on his heart after falling ill last month, but he has since been given some really bad news about his poor health...
Doctors have discovered cancerous cells in his lungs.

He posted this on his website:


 "As you all know I was taken ill whilst doing a gig in Germany in December. During my stay in hospital tests showed that in fact I have lung cancer. I am receiving chemotherapy treatment and at the moment not feeling too bad.
"However, I’ve had to call time on The Troggs and retire. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the cards and calls and for your love, loyalty and support over the years."


My prayers our certainly with Reg as faces what could be his final battle.


Before you slip into that deep sleep tonight...if you're a believer...I'd ask you to say few words to the man upstairs on behalf of one of rock music's  true pioneers, survivors and yes...Wild Thing.


Be well Reg.
