I am worried about Bret Michaels like everyone else…

Leave a comment

Bret Michaels, being in the hospital again for something serious sent a huge scare through everyone in the world. Why should we worry about a famous person to someone we don’t even know? Not only that he’s a rock n’ roll legend and help changed the music industry in the 80’s, another reason people worry about him is all these rock star deaths we’ve been having as of late. People worry because he could be next.

Again I was never a fan of Poison but I respect them for the success they achieved. In my understanding, the band is still together. Bret still plays with Poison in occassional tours.

I wonder what this means for his appearance on “Celebrity Apprentice”? I’m sure the show still have a few more episodes of his to air, but Bret haven’t been fired from the show yet. So he’s still on. Not sure what NBC and Donald Trump would do with him for the show, but I’m sure we’ll hear something soon. It’s great to see The Donald actually cares for Bret, even though Trump gave Bret a difficult time on the show.

I hope Bret survives too. It’s a sad thing what he’s going through.

BREAKING NEWS: Kevin Eubanks leaving Jay Leno for good…

Leave a comment

Just not too long ago, it was announced that Kevin Eubanks have planned to leave the Jay Leno show, but wasn’t sure if he was going to leave for a hiatus or if it will be for good. Well, Kevin himself announced on “The Tonight Show”, saying straight to Jay’s face that he’s definitely leaving for good for a full time music career.

More on it here:

Eh? Don’t worry folks. Kevin WILL be back on “The Tonight Show” as a musical guest to perform a song off his upcoming album when he puts one out. He won’t be back on with the “Tonight Show” band, but maybe with Kevin’s new band that he will probably form in the future. You betcha that will be the first place Kevin will go to plug in his upcoming album whenever he does one.

He is a talented guitar player and he does deserve better than the Jay Leno show. Looking forward to seeing what he has planned for his music career.

Cool Video: Erin Harkes performs on Jimmy Fallon last night!!! For reals…

Leave a comment

HOLY SHIT!!!! Jimmy Fallon last night, pulled some musicians out of the audience to do this “Battle of the Instant Bands” segment. Erin Harkes who is a singer/songwriter from Albany got picked by Jimmy Fallon. Yes, you can see Erin Harkes on stage and in person at the Jimmy Fallon show. She sang and performed. As usual Erin’s singing skills blows my fuckin’ MIND! She’s an amazing talent. And her landing on Jimmy Fallon, just shows she could get BIG and possibly get a record deal. Congrats to Erin on her 15 minutes of fame. She impresses Albany with her talent and now she impresses Jimmy.

ROCK ON ERIN!!!!!!

Report: Slash shows Jay Leno that he’s on Team Coco…

Leave a comment

Last night on Jay Leno, Slash was the special musical guest for his solo career, with Wolfmother singing for him for the song, “By The Sword” which you can get on Slash’s new solo record, out now! TMZ is the first to notice Slash wearing the “I’m With Coco” pin on his shirt.

See it here:

I’m sure all the Coco fans like myself, would know that Slash is very good friends with Conan O’ Brien. Slash has appeared on Conan’s show plenty of times in the past. I’m pretty sure Jay noticed the pin on Slash’s shirt right away, I’m sure Jay didn’t pay much attention to it, lol!

Nice to see Slash on Team Coco. A way to piss Jay off!

I also want to hear Slash’s new solo record. I’ll get it from Itunes when I get extra cash. I really liked his new song, “By The Sword”, it’s a really amazing tune and tight. Wolfmother is a great band, I always dug them!

Report: Max Weinberg to leave Conan O’ Brien to fill in for Kevin Eubanks?

Leave a comment

Reports have hit the web that there are rumours that Max Weinberg, Conan’s longtime bandleader could be leaving Conan to fill in Kevin Eubanks when he leaves the “Tonight Show”. Sources claim that Max and Conan O’ Brien haven’t been getting along, having a heated feud against each other behind the scenes.

More on it here:

Before people go thinking that Max Weinberg stabbed Conan in the back, don’t always make assumptions. In my opinion, I don’t think Conan and Max have any bad blood against each other at all. They’ve been friends for years and have known each other for years. If you knew how smart and intelligent Conan is, I don’t think he would get angry at Max leaving him for Jay. Conan would feel happy for Max about it. Besides, this doesn’t mean Max will be leaving Conan for good. He may only be taking over for Kevin Eubanks for just a little while until Kevin returns. Then maybe Max will go back to Conan after that. I don’t believe for a second that they are hating on each other all of a sudden. Stupid gossip sites.

Report: Conan O’ Brien show to hit the road?

Leave a comment

Could Conan O’ Brien and the Max Weinberg 7 be taking their show on the road for a tour? They’ll be hitting the theatre stage but they’ll be doing their usual comedy shows like they did on TV…having celebrity guests and making jokes of media news. When they go on tour, I see them hitting NYC, Conan’s former hometown to play a show there. I doubt Conan would come to Albany but ya never know.

This is a good idea. This just shows that Conan just loves what he does, performing and entertaining his fans. It also shows that he certainly doesn’t want to sit around and do nothing while waiting for a new TV deal, so even more respects to Coco, indeed. Rock!

Guitarist and longtime leader of “The Tonight Show” band, Kevin Eubanks, is finally leaving the show. Sources claim he’s leaving part time but there’s a possibility that he could quit the show for good. It’s looking like he wants a full time music career, maybe record an album and go on tour for it.

Come on, Kev, be honest. You’re mad at Jay for screwing Coco too!

BREAKING NEWS: Christopher Meloni announces he’s leaving “Law & Order: SVU” for movie career…

Leave a comment

After 12 years of starring in the NBC legendary show, “Law & Order: SVU”, one of the shows leading stars, Christopher Meloni announced he is quitting. Why? He wants to move on to bigger opportunities. He revealed he wants to do Hollywood films full time after he leaves the show.

While most would find it sad that Chris is leaving for a movie career, I don’t find it sad at all as I’m actually happy for him. I always find him very talented and he is a great actor, I think he’s going to make a great movie star.

Stars that leave TV shows do go on to become big movie stars like what happened to Tom Hanks and Robin Williams. Will Smith (Fresh Prince of Bel Air) and Jim Carrey (In Living Color) also left their shows for movies.

If you think Chris Meloni is going to have a failed movie career in the future, I don’t think he will. He will do good, trust me. I’ve seen Chris’s both TV shows with HBO’s “Oz” and “L&O: SVU”. I’m cetainly looking forward to seeing what his first movie role is going to be and it wouldn’t surprise me if he’ll star in some crime action drama film.
