According to reports, Britney Spears’ divorce to Kevin Federline is now finalized. I wonder how much the trainwreck star gave K-Fed to walk away? I’m sure he could pick up a nice expensive trailer for that kind of money.

It is rumoured that the couple will share custody of their two sons, 22-month-old Sean Preston and ten-month-old Jayden James, while Federline is expected to receive spousal support.

Anyone know how much it takes to buy off trailer trash?

Via IOL, we’ve found that Paul Stanley of Kiss fame, is in the hospital.

Apparently, his heart was racing to the tune of 190 beats per minute, for over an hour! Good lord, I hope he’s okay. I’ve been a die hard Kiss fan since God knows when.

Band-mates Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer played the gig at Soboba Casino, California about 90 miles east of Los Angeles, as Stanley was taken to hospital.

“During sound check, my heart spontaneously jumped to 190 plus beats per minute where it stayed for over an hour necessitating paramedics to start an IV and give me a shot to momentarily stop my heart and get it into a normal pattern,” Stanley said on his website yesterday.

I know that I’m digging all of the way back to 1987 here, but I just couldn’t help myself. This is an album that I truly love and can listen to straight through without skipping songs. That’s a hard feat for me, because you know there is always that one crap song on most albums that you just have to get past to get to the better stuff.

The album starts off with the song, “Women”, which is a slow kind of starting song, then it gets cool. I love the video for this song, it’s great. Next song up is “Rocket” and the tempo of this number makes it an upbeat song that I can listen to when I want to get things done. Up next is “Animal”, which is one of the songs that helped make Hysteria a multi-platinum album. “Love Bites” is the song that you can listen to anywhere and know the lyrics immediately and sing along. We all know that sometimes love can suck, and this song explains that nicely. “Pour Some Sugar On Me” and “Armageddon It” are the best reasons why anyone nowadays picks up this album. Those are the two most popular songs on this album, in my opinion. One can never forget the rhythm of songs like “Hysteria” (one of my favorite videos) and “Love And Affection”. These are some powerful ballads, as well as some of the best written music out there.

I am a huge fan of Def Leppard’s music, as I grew up with them and their videos in the MTV era. I can listen to Def Leppard on any given day and find a song that would be suitable for any occasion.

Tonight, my boyfriend and I are leaving for our vacation in Georgia. While I’m on vacation, I may have limited access to a computer and the internet.

For your viewing pleasure, I’m posting pre-timestamped material throughout the rest of the week. These will not be re-hashed posts, rather more like album reviews and snippets of news.

I will be returning to Ohio around August 2nd or 3rd.

Your comments,as always, are appreciated, and will be answered upon my return.

Thank you!

Courtney Love posted on her website that she thinks her mouth is wonky and wants to go to a surgeon in Paris to have it fixed:

She writes, “My mouth still looks wonky, i think i gott go back to paris tot he dr (sic), hes not a cosmetic surgeon he just fixes bad surgery and also cleft palates and serious s**t. Its not really vanity, hes conservative (sic).”

I think she’s right, something is a little wonky about her. Hope that Paris surgeon can fix it.

I don’t think I need to tell you my thoughts on the title of their upcoming album, “Songs from the sparkle lounge”.

Are they going to Leppardize the title or leave it named after there recording area on the road? I’ve been a fan of their music ever since the early days and I hope this album has some great music on it. I’m fickle and was hoping for a better album title, but whining won’t get me anywhere….

According to Vivian Campbell, here are some of the working song titles for the new album:

Only the good die young
Cruise control
Give it away
Hallucination
Bad actress
Love

No one knows exactly how many of these song titles will make it to the album, but time will tell. I’m hoping that these songs rock. I know they will. Maybe this is just a reason for me to post more pictures of the hotness that is Joe Elliott.

Kelly Clarkson says this on her website:

“There has been quite a bit of controversy surrounding the release of “My December,” much of which has focused on a supposed feud with my record label, in particular, Clive Davis. I want to set the record straight on this by saying that I want my band, my advisors, those close to me and my record label to be one big, tightly knit family. Like any family we will disagree and argue sometimes but, in the end, it’s respect and admiration that will keep us together. A lot has been made in the press about my relationship with Clive. Much of this has been blown way out of proportion and taken out of context. Contrary to recent characterizations in the press, I’m well aware that Clive is one of the great record men of all time. He has been a key advisor and has been an important force in my success to date. He has also given me respect by releasing my new album when he was not obligated to do so. I really regret how this has turned out and I apologize to those whom I have done disservice. I would never intentionally hurt anyone. I love music, and I love the people I am blessed to work with. I am happy that my team is behind me and I look forward to the future.”

So, all that smack she was talking about Clive Davis was just crap? She didn’t mean it? I take back all those nice things I said about her. I thought she had spunk.

Via Starpulse, I’ve noticed that Guns & Roses are going to reunite, almost.
According to the source, they are all going to be at LA’s Key Club on the 28th for the 20th anniversary of Appetite for Destruction, except for Axl Rose. What kind of nonsense is this? Is Axl Rose dumb enough to not like the cash cow that once was Guns & Roses?

No offense to Scott Weiland, of course. He’s a rockin’ performer as well as a great artist. I’m just dying to hear “Patience” live.

Oh, and a little bit of advice for Mr. Rose: The dreads have jumped the shark…live ten years ago.

Sprint loves me….and of course, they rock. They sent me the new LG MusiQ phone. I can tell you this already, I absolutely love this phone.

I can’t even begin to illustrate all of the features on this baby…but I’ll give you a snippet. Previously, I received the Samsung Upstage phone from Sprint. While I loved the small nature of that phone, there were several things that I didn’t care for, like the need to flip the phone every two minutes when your texting someone or searching for music to add to your library.

This phone, however, has the added ease and functionality of any really spiffy new phone. It does not have the touch screen, though, but that’s not a drawback in my book. With this phone, I can watch SprintTV for any missed television shows, Cartoon Network, or Comedy Central, and of course, others.

I have already customized the theme to a pink princess theme, which I think is adorably cute. Also, on this phone, you can create melodies with a beat to assign as ringtones. You can also hum a tune and the phone will make something out of it. Another nifty feature is the FM transmitter, with that you can broadcast from your phone to the nearest radio. How cool is that?

It has GPS, on demand weather and news, and all other kinds of stuff. I’m not sure how much this phone retails for (‘cuz it’s mine gratis), but I’d pick it up if I were you. It’s slender and it’s the perfect phone.

I’d challenge any company to come close!

According to Blabbermouth, Metallica was looking to have Megadeth play with them in Moscow. If I were Dave Mustaine, I’d tell James Hetfield to suck it. Their music hasn’t been good since the Black album, and that’s being nice. That album wasn’t a real credit to their older talent (ie: Master of Puppets) and Metallica should count themselves lucky that Dave Mustaine ever played with them.

Megadeth rocks. That’s just my two cents.

At Icky Thump Records, the White Stripes played a quick one note concert for a swoon of fans:

That’s it? That’s all we get? Just a note? I guess, but the fans that were there ate it up.
