…how come Billy Idol have never been inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet? He’s eligible for a nomination but he’s never got one yet. He’s a punk rock pioneer and changed the 80’s mainstream music, so he definitely deserves to get inducted. I think his time will come someday. Don’t worry, Billy!

Billy Idol, the legendary controversial punk rocker, has made a deal with Touchstone (a division of Simon & Schuster) publishing company to write his first time ever autobiography. The name of the novel will be titled, “Dancing With Myself”, named after one of his hit radio singles. Billy Idol is a punk rock pioneer who sang for earlier punk rock bands such as Siouxsie and the Banshees, Generation X, and of course, he had a very successful solo career run with his longtime guitarist, Steve Stevens. This blond spiked hair British guy had a huge music career in the 80’s, but his music career started to tank when he did that 1993 techno album, “Cyberpunk”. After that album, Billy Idol took a long hiatus to do some acting in movies. In 1995 Billy Idol reunited with guitarist Steve Stevens to release, “Devil’s Playground”. Billy promises this autobiography will include everything about his life, yes, that means: drugs, booze, women. Billy Idol announces the news at his official website, here.
Oh yeah, I’m a big Billy Idol fan, so I’m definitely buying this when it hits the bookshelves for sure! His latest album, “Devil’s Playground” never got the popularity it deserved but I think that album was the best album of his career. Hope Billy will do another new album with Steve pretty soon.

People seem to be forgetting that it’s also John Entwistle of the Who’s birthday today. John would have been 66 if he was still around. John was a very important member of the Who. Try to remember that. The Who has always been one of my favorite classic rock bands of all time, I still love them to this day. RIP John.

Today is the day we celebrate the great music of John Lennon, who touched and inspired everyone’s lives, including mine. If he was still alive, he would have been 70 today. If he was still alive, I’m sure he’ll still be doing what he has always done, make music. If he was still alive, I can still see him releasing albums, touring, still being in a healthy relationship with Yoko and the rest of the Lennon family, etc. Just imagine how Yoko and their sons will be celebrating John’s birthday today. I’m sure they’ll be celebrating in a special way.
RIP John.

I am not into romance type of drama’s that much, but this new film, “Blue Valentine” looks like a very good one. I think the trailer is pretty impressive. It stars Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams. Since it got an NC-17 rating, it probably won’t be playing everywhere, maybe in selective theaters. I will wait for this movie to come out on DVD. Looks like a great film. Does Michelle strip it all off throughout most of the movie?
Sounds like this movie has more to the story than just a couple falling in love. This film has my interest!

Woah, even I’m kind of shocked by this announcement! Warner Bros. announced that they will only be showing the new Harry Potter film, “The Deathly Hollows” in 2D only for now. The reason is, they were unable to convert the film to 3D to be at the best quality. They still plan to release, “Deathly Hollows 2” in 2D and 3D, though. Read Warner Bros. statement, here.
I’m not a Harry Potter fan, but I honestly find, “The Deathly Hollows” really interesting to me. The film actually looks really great, yes, I said that. I don’t know if I’ll see it in theater or not ’cause I would need to watch the earlier Harry Potter films so I can catch up with the story. Honestly, I’ve never read a Harry Potter book or seen a single movie. Just wasn’t interested in this whole Wizard thing, but “Deathly Hollows” kind of got me intrigued.

That is Marilyn Monroe, oooops, I mean, Michelle Williams (the former girlfriend of Heath Ledger). She will star in the upcoming Marilyn Monroe biopic titled, “My Week With Marilyn”.
See the full article, here.
Wow. Who ever did the make-up, hair styling and costume design, did an amazing job. I smell Oscar worthy for this film?
I’ve always been a huge fan of Marilyn Monroe. So I’ll be interested in seeing this myself!

Max Weinberg finally explains why he won’t be doing Conan’s new show on TBS. It has something to do with his health problems, as he just had a massive 12 hour open heart surgery. He already had the surgery right after the “Tonight Show”, Coco’s final appearance. Weinberg plans to live in New Jersey full time and he also plans to drum for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band more. He’s currently on a tour with Springsteen right now.

In NYC, people with food stamps would not be able to buy soda, they must pay with regular cash for two years. Gov. David Paterson and Mayor Bloomberg are on a mission, that they want soda taken off of food stamps all over the U.S. They want the U.S. Department of Agriculture to take soda and sports drinks (that includes energy drinks too, I believe), excluded from eligibility of food stamps all across the U.S.
Read the full article, here.
I’m no big fan of David Paterson, I hate that guy as well, but what he’s doing here is actually good. I agree with it too. Soda is part of responsibility with obesity. Before I started bodybuilding and fitness, I was a big time sodaholic. I used to drink soda every day. So I had to cut it out, stop eating and drinking so much crap, get into fitness and get healthy.
Gov. Paterson gets my respect for this one time. If he keeps doing good things such as this instead of being an asshole, maybe he’ll get my full support.
Not only they should take soda off of food stamps, they need to raise the prices. I don’t like soda anymore. Haven’t touched a soda in way over a year, and I’m proud of myself. Soda is poison.

If there is one thing that bothers me about Zack Snyder directing Superman, here it is. I don’t like how movie fans are bashing Zack Snyder’s “slow motion” technique, which is what he’s known for in all of his films. People say he does it way too much during an action sequence, when something moves so fast, he slows it right down to try and make it look cool. You know what? Zack’s slow motion technique doesn’t bother me at all. In fact, I actually find it pretty cool on how he does it.
Why the hell are people picking on Zack Snyder for his slow motion technique, when this same technique has been done so many times in so many films from the past. For example, the slow mo technique has been used in almost all of the Terminator films, Star Wars or any action film from the past has used slow motion for action scenes. Sylvester Stallone used it for one scene in the new “Rambo” movie. It’s been used in the “Expendables” as well. What about the “Dark Knight” movie itself? All the movies you all love have done slow mo.
People hate Zack Snyder’s slo mo technique, because they know he’s the best at it. Zack is an expert at the slow motion technique ’cause you can do so many different creative things with it by using computer effects. He’s done slow motion like no other film maker has done before. Zack’s slow motion is part of the art. The slow motion is needed in certain parts so it can create some magical special effects along with it. People don’t complain about the high number of slow motion effects in many other superhero films, so why do people bash Zack for it? The reason for the slow mo, it’s a cover up that they can’t do the stunt for real because it’s too dangerous.
There will probably be a lot of Slo Mo in the next Superman movie, but hell, even the old Superman flicks with Christopher Reeve had plenty of slow motion too, so shut the hell up about the slo mo, people! Hypocrites, my god!
