Crap is King

The Killers are suing their former manager.

Vincent Margera, who was charged with fondling two underage girls while he was acting as his on screen character "Don Vito" will face probation and ten years of not being allowed to act as Don Vito. Are they serious? WTF? So does this mean that all child molesters can now pretend that they were playing a character and get a slap on the wrist with some probation? F**k that.
From MTV.com: "Margera's attorney had argued that the reality star took on the persona of the outrageous Don Vito character during the appearance as an explanation for his actions."

A child molester is a child molester plain and simple - I don't care who he said he was pretending to be...you don't just pretend to sexually assault a child because you're caught up in being a character.

I wasn't going to report on this because I think the whole situation is insane but apparently Nickelodeon is considering making a news special about what's happening with Britney Spears' sister, Jamie Lynn's pregnancy. Yeah, I'd imagine so. Can you even fathom the number of emails and phone calls they've received from parents asking how they're supposed to explain to their 9-year-old kids why the girl from their favorite show is pregnant at 16? I'm not judging, because I am well aware that mistakes happen but seriously, they're rich and not catholic - BUY SOME BIRTH CONTROL! Her mother was letting the boyfriend live in their condo - what did she think was going on? Morons. Britney and Jamie Lynn's monther, Lynn, is a totally useless piece of shit. I mean, look at what she's done to her kids lives and yes, I blame 95% of it on her for not being a reliable source of good judgement for either of her daughters. No wonder her book on parenting has been put on hold - would you like your daughters to grow up like them? I think not.

Not just because I don't like Kanye West, but because it really sucks. Kanye turns Michael Jackson's Billie Jean, to crap. (It doesn't have a video, someone just set it to the original - FYI)

Kerrang! Readers Poll 2007

The results are in however you have to read the issue to find out who won.

In the mean time, relish in the fact that Gerard Way and Jared Leto were voted Sexiest Female of 2007. hahahaha

Jared had this response:

"That's fucking hilarious!," writes Leto. "Maybe next year you guys can make an exception for Gerard and I?"..."I hope all the Kerrang! readers are great and please send them a warm happy X-Mas, boxing day, and merry kwanza from the band."

Ha!

Read more about the Kerrang! Readers Poll here and in the new issue of Kerrang! which by the way features Ville on the cover - you can't go wrong!

So much trash today!!

Contrary to earlier reports super Christian, Joe Simpson says it's just fine if boy kissing, rock starring, weenie showing Pete Wentz comes over for Christmas.

Britney Spears to play the Virgin Mary in a biblical satire. I hope her acting is as good as it was in "Crossroads." I know, cheap shot.

Link

Courtney loves does Buddhist chants and has visions of a naked Vince Vaughn. I love ol' Vincey-poo but I'm pretty sure I could think of someone a little more appetizing to have vision of.

Link

Kevin DuBrow, the former singer of Quiet Riot who passed last month apparently died of an overdose. Well no shit Sherlock.

Ike "I hit you because I love you" Turner died today. Joke blatantly stolen from a VH1 news cast 7 years ago.

Don't lie - some of you are curious.

I wasn't into the Spice Girls the first time around, but this reunion has captivated me. Surely lead my Victoria Beckham and my fascination with her and her odd, self-deprecating sense of humor I have to admit that I can't help myself. Any show that includes gymnastics, a stripper pole, S&M costumes and Posh feeling like strutting down a catwalk will earn her keep since her lack of singing ability obviously won't, cracks my shit up.

Basically, the called Elton John, Celine Dion, Liberace and Prince and said, "We'd really like to make a show that makes you guys look like Hannah Montana. Can you help us out with that?"

Hilarious.

Oh yeah, a little snarkiness goes a long way, eh? Why the f**k is Blender interviewing Perez Hilton? He's so shitty. He's not funny. He's so typical. He's like the hetero housewife friendly gay. It pisses me off. What a poseur asskisser...

New Amy Winehouse video

Blender has reviewed this video so beautifully, I see no reason to reinvent the wheel.

From Blender:
"Amy Winehouse's six Grammy nods once again brought the singer's talent — and not her tabloid antics — to the forefront. This piecemeal clip is mostly based on videos of Winehouse performing live, which fits into its nostalgic, "the way we were" vibe. But the wispy aesthetic also makes it seem like a premature eulogy. It's genuinely disturbing given the singer's current troubles — as the last shot deliberately fades out, you expect a to see stark text: "Amy Winehouse: 1983-2007." "And now, the final frame," she sings in her brilliantly smoke-soaked style, "love is a losing game." Coupled with this frightfully effective video, the sentiment becomes even more ominous. "



Chilling indeed.

Marilyn Manson tour dates

I don't know if any of you guys still listen to him - I presume you do since I saw a kid wearing and "Eat Me, Drink Me" shirt in the mall. I would have really been impressed if it had been the "I am the God of F**k" one. I girl can dream...ha!

Who would have thought someone would ever name a band "Circle Takes the Square?" Seriously? Have we gotten so low on decent band names that we have to start naming them after statements from game shows?

If you didn't watch the premiere of Snoop Dogg's new reality show (yes, for real, it's on E!) then you didn't really miss much - other than him telling the yoga instructor he had "something that would open her hips up." Easy cowboy!

Link

Pete Wentz is upset they didn't get a grammy nod - whether or not he's trying to make it sound like he isn't. However, if Fergie got one and I didn't, I might be a little bitter too.
