I’m happy for him that he’s continuing his solo career. He’s really good at his solo stuff as I really enjoy “One Man Revolution”. He can do it all, he can rock hard on electric and go mellow on acoustic. Looking forward to picking up his new album.

Now that Rage Against the Machine is back with Zach De La Rocha, hopefully the band will go back into the studio for a new album too. A new RATM album has been a long time coming!

Report: Steven Tyler confessed going to rehab for meds addiction…

Leave a comment

Steven Tyler confessed that he went to rehab for his addiction with medications. Not for his feet that he was getting surgery on.

Which is good that he admitted to it because there is no such thing of going to rehab to make your feet better, you go to a feet doctor for that. Not a drug rehab.

The Associated Press reports:

I think he was just trying to save publicity from the Guitar Hero Aerosmith videogame that just came out.

Report: “Wall-E” beats “Wanted” in Box Office this weekend…

Leave a comment

It was quite a competition in the box office this weekend between two huge movies. One was Pixar’s “Wall-E” an animated movie about a robot and the other was the action film “Wanted” starring Angelina Jolie. Both films pretty much broke world records in sales, however “Wall-E” beat out “Wanted” stealing the no. 1 spot this weekend. “Wall-E” made 62.5 million while “Wanted” made 51.1 million.

While “Wanted” didn’t make no. 1 it is still a huge hit, so that’s great news for Angie. This is Angie’s biggest hit in a long time. I plan to see “Wanted” this week on a day off of work.

I do want to see “Wall-E” too but I’ll wait for DVD on that one.

Report: Amy Winehouse punch victim speaks out!!!

Leave a comment

The man that was punched in the face by Amy Winehouse at Glastonbury last Saturday night speaks out to the media to clear the air of what really happened. James Gastelow, a young 25 year old London resident told BBC News that the incident was the result of a mistaken identity. He says he never touched her boobs in the front row. A fan behind him threw a hat at the singer, which the hat goes flying and hit her boobs, she thought it was James that touched her boobs but it was the hat.

He says when she felt it, she looks down at him with a pissed off look on her face and she elbowed him as you saw on the video. He says she got him in the forehead, hit him pretty good. What does James say about being hit by Amy Winehouse at a concert?

He seems to enjoy it as a matter of fact, so don’t expect him to press assault charges on her or suing her, he was just happy to see Amy Winehouse live in person.

Being violently attacked by a famous person must be pretty cool. Would I like it if I get punched by a famous person? Hell yeah! It be like dude, “I just got punced in the head by Amy Winehouse, cooolll…maybe that bruise on my head will worth something one day”.

Report: Korshunova’s boyfriend speaks on supermodel’s shocking death…

Leave a comment

The boyfriend of the supermodel Ruslana Korshunova who jumped off the Manhatten apartment building to her death last Saturday afternoon, speaks out about her death. He said there was nothing wrong with her before, she had always been a good person and pretty much happy all the time. Ruslana seems to be enjoying the supermodel life although there were small signs of her wanting out of the supermodel life. Her close family and friends say that she never seemed suicidal. No one knew why she jumped to her death. Her boyfriend Mark Kaminsky is pretty devastated and shocked over her death.

It wouldn’t surprise me if she’s playing Sarah Connor, it could be possible. Anyway, if they are going to use Sarah Connor for the new T4, I would rather get Lena Heady from the TV series.

WWE news

Thought: Last night’s “Night of the Champions” WWE PPV…

Leave a comment

I watched last night’s “Night of the Champions PPV”. Triple H and Edge both retain their titles so both the WWE Champion and the World Champion stays on Smackdown. So this means RAW is left with no main Championship title.

Best moment of the night of last night’s PPV was when wrestler Cody Rhodes turned heel on Hardcore Holly and joined forces with Ted Dibiase Jr. (the son of the Million Dollar Man), WWE finally did something shocking and surprising for once, I never saw that coming. This is what WWE needs to do more often, being unpredictable.

The USA Champ match with Matt Hardy vs. Chavo Guerrero was also a great match.

I also loved the women’s title match with Mickie James vs. Katie Lee Burchill. Women’s division is still improving and getting better. The women of wrestling have been doing some pretty impressive moves lately.

As for the other matches were kind of boring. Even the main event matches were boring.

What does this mean for Monday Night RAW without a main event Championship belt? Is this a sign that WWE can bring in a new belt for the main championship? It’s possible. RAW seems to be bringing in new belt designs every few years or so, it may look like they may change the main RAW champ belt again.

“Night of the Champions” wasn’t a bad ppv but could have been better. Only a few great matches but most of it was pretty boring.
