With the season coming to a close, Bret starts out the finale by taking Heather out for a dune buggy date. The two are having fun, while Bret starts to feel bad. His diabetes was giving him trouble. Unbeknownst to Heather, he’s feeling like crap. He suggests food, she suggests that she drive the dune buggy.

Afterwards, he takes her back to his place for some nookie and sends her back on her way to L.A. Before leaving, she warns Jes that she should think about where Bret’s mouth has been when kissing him. Then, off she goes.

Jes’ date with Bret starts out on a yacht where Jes confesses that she doesn’t know if she should take that jump and fall in love with him. He convinces her to let her guard down. At dinner, he confides in Jes on how to save his life, if he goes into a diabetic coma. She cry, and they share a moment.

They go back to his room for some jacuzzi fun. In the morning, it’s back to L.A. for her, too, so that he can enjoy Cabo San Lucas and think about the decision that he has to make.

He gets back to L.A. and hasn’t made his decision. He asks the girls if they’d both be his girlfriend. Heather says yes and Jes says that she wouldn’t share the one she cares about. Bret finally sees that maybe Heather was wanting Bret to be her meal ticket and sends her on her way. She doesn’t even stop to kiss him or say good bye. She bad-mouths him in the car, the whole way.

Jes was Bret’s “rock of love”. How cute. And formulaic. We could kinda see this one a mile away, but we watched anyways.

Good show.

Poor Tone Loc’s vocals sounds like he raked his vocal chords over a cheese grater. Together, P-Nasty and The Locster beat up the song that once made millions:

Here’s Britney Spears, pimping out her new fragrance, Believe. Her pic is photoshopped to smithereens and it doesn’t even look like her. Where’s the Cheeto bag? lol

Shakira looks great! I love her hair straightened and she just looks so mature.

Waymond Anderson, who is locked up for a separate crime not involving the slain rapper stated that he lied in an attempt to get money out of the city for the victim’s family:

Anderson’s deposition, first reported Wednesday in the Los Angeles Times, states that he was offered a portion of any settlement if he testified that former police Officer Rafael Perez told him that another ex-police officer, David Mack, was involved.

Both Mack and Perez have long denied any involvement in the March 9, 1997, murder of the New York rapper, also known as Biggie Smalls.

“I don’t know David Mack, I don’t know Rafael Perez,” Anderson said in the deposition. “It was a lie, and I’m ashamed of it.”

Somehow, somewhere, we need to get to the truth behind the slaying of Christopher Wallace. This is a tragedy and with all of the DNA and forensics science of our time, we should’ve been able to find a viable answer already.

Here, we have Jayden James and Sean Preston Federline holding hands, with Britney at the wheel.

Any takers?

This isn’t the first time that Britney Spears has gone out with ratty looking hair. I would think someone should tell her that she shouldn’t dye her fake hair.

Ladies, here’s what not to do:

Drugs are bad….mmmkay?

Can you imagine the thought of Meg White making a sex tape? Sheesh. I don’t have the stomach to watch that to make any sort of judgment.

But leaving an even more sour taste in our mouths is some of their suggestions that the emergence of the tape is why Meg cancelled the previously scheduled US and UK tours, after citing her suffering from “acute anxiety” as the reason.

I looked at the photos, and it doesn’t look like like Meg.

And I can’t wait. Dr. Dre helped form the rap scene as it is today and is the main reason that I still listen to it. He helped Eminem blow up, then 50 Cent. Now, it’s Dre’s turn, for one last time. Built up to be the iconic rap album that everyone is going to own (or want to), “Detox” will be Dr. Dre’s last contribution to the rap game:

“I think it’s time to move on,” he tells the Los Angeles Times, calling rhyming “a young man’s game.” According to Interscope, there is no firm date for the album.

Dr. Dre also plans to possibly direct and score new films for New Line Cinemas:

Dre recently inked a multi-year production pact with New Line Cinema, under which he will join longtime collaborator, director Phillip G. Atwelll, to score and possibly direct films.

Dre’s branching out, yo.

Pictured, Britney Spears is at her new home on September 22nd. She’s got a lot to talk about. In August, Britney hit another car while attempting to park. Now, instead of doing the right thing and leaving her information for the unsuspecting victim, Ms. Spears checked her own car and left the scene.

Three days after the accident, the owner of the other vehicle, Kim Robard-Rifkin, filed a police report, and investigators later determined that Spears does not have a license, officials said.

Robard-Rifkin, a 59-year-old registered nurse, learned it was Spears who had hit her car through a video posted on the celebrity Web site CelebTV.com.

Now, she’s got legal trouble to boot, stemming from the accident. Besides being just plain stupid, these charges could have been totally avoided.

I don’t feel sorry for her, she has a gazillion dollars and trained monkeys to do her bidding. She should’ve known better.

Slash, guitar virtuoso for Velvet Revolver, was caught speeding and he’s blaming Megadeth’s new album, United Abominations:

The rocker was caught speeding by police as he blasted United Abominations from his car’s sound system – forgetting he wasn’t behind the wheel of a rocket.

United Abominations must be rockin’. When you get that kind of publicity, it has to be great. Megadeth should pay for the ticket that Slash got, just because they’re friends.

I personally like Sebastian Bach’s voice, when it came to hard rock. However, when it came time, they both butchered the RUN DMC classic, “It’s Tricky”:

Murdered it.

We’re not saying that the bands listed below suck, just the opposite. They just have really awkward names that will make you think ‘what?’

1. Atreyu

Even though their music kicks butt, the name Atreyu can’t help but to bring back memories of The Neverending Story. Were their parents killed by a purple buffalo after they were born? Probably not, so we’ll forgive the name, and love the music they make.
Atreyu’s MySpace

2. Three Days Grace

Again, love the music, not necessarily the band name. The name Three Days Grace sounds like a grace period that you have to pay back your loan.
Three Days Grace’s MySpace


3. Plain White T’s

At first glance of this band name, I didn’t know exactly what genre it was. I thought it would be rap, but I stand corrected. Are all of the good band names taken? Just sayin’.
Plain White T’s’ MySpace

4. Rise Against

Besides obviously missing something they’re “rising against”, I just couldn’t endorse this band name. It sounds like they have an unfinished sentence. Think: Rage Against The Machine.
Rise Against’s MySpace

5. Papa Roach

Indeed we love the music that comes out of Papa Roach, what would possess you to name your band that? It sounds like he is the head roach in charge. Chicks don’t dig bugs, dude.
Papa Roach’s MySpace

6. Scary Kids Scaring Kids

Makers of fine new rock music, they are indeed. The name is long and lends a thinking to Halloween and the bigger kids going bagsnatching. Why must we scare other kids?
Scary Kid’s MySpace

7. Bowling For Soup

That must be some really good tasting soup. Seriously, who had the eureka moment and decided to name the band Bowling For Soup? They put out good music, though, and that’s the point, right?
Bowling For Soup’s MySpace

8. Reel Big Fish

Are they telling us to reel in big fish? Or, have they mispelled “real”, as in large?

9. Saliva
It’s spit, ’nuff said.
Saliva’s MySpace

10. 3 Doors Down

I still wonder who or what resides three doors down. And, three doors down from where?

11. Scissor Sisters

Are they a hair salon? I bet they can cut some serious hair. Appointment at eleven, please.

12. Puddle Of Mudd

Would you step in one? Probably not. Walk around, folks.

13. 36 Crazyfists

That’s 18 mean dudes. Or, maybe the name of some Indian Chief who gives a royal beatdown.

14. cKy

Isn’t this a perfume put out by Calvin Klein? I’m sure it smells great.

15. Dirty Pretty Things

Nothing like an oxymoron to kick off the thoughts in your head about a band. They’re actually quite good, though.

16. Say Anything

Sound like an 80′s John Cusack movie to you? Thought so.

I think Trent Reznor is fed up with the record companies charging fans an arm and a leg for his albums.

In this Youtube video, Trent asks the crowd if they’ve noticed the album prices coming down, and when he hears a resounding “No!”, his response? “Steal it”:

Trent rocks, plain and simple. It doesn’t help that he’s hot. (wink)

Britney Spears in Los Angeles on 9/18, giving the paps the finger:

In Britney’s defense, I’d be flipping a photographer off, too, if I was being followed everywhere I went and they had their cameras in my face 24/7. I guess it’s the price you pay for fame. I’m starting to believe that she tips them off as to where she’s going to be.

Maybe we should remember this when she puts her album out, though.

Victoria Beckham, better known as Posh Spice, is pictured here in the new issue of Hello magazine.

My question is, is she still relevant in the musical arena? Even better yet, has she ever been relevant musically?

I’m all for girl power (isn’t that the Spice Girls crap I keep hearing about?) and everything, but I’m thinking that she’s just relevant because she’s rich. Must be nice!

Unbreakable, it’s the title of the new album by a one short Backstreet Boys. Who knew these guys were still making music?

I guess if Britney can make a “comeback”, so can they?

I recently had the chance to ask Starlit’s frontwoman, Simara Rose, a few questions. She was more than happy to oblige. She has such a positive message, as posted on her myspace page, as well as powerful lyrics and rocking riffs.

The music of Starlit is something that I greatly enjoy and with good reason. She is a true entertainer and loves what she does.

On to the interview:

1. Where does your inspiration come from in the music that you make?
Simara included this image to sum up her influences:

2. What inspires the way you express yourself through your outer appearance?
Clothes are important and at the same time, can hold little value in that they are a way to express yourself and in some ways paticular ways of dress and style are art. But clothes and appearance in general don’t say whether someone is a good person or not.

3. What message is most important in your music?
Persafuckinvere.

4. If you could be doing anything else other than performing, what would it be?
Nothing, it’s all I want to do. But it branches off into other areas like set design and video ideas.

5. If you could record a song with a male vocalist, who would you want that to be? Why?
David Bowie, of course. Him and Billy Holiday are my favorites, he is innovative and revolutionary.

A big heartfelt thank you to Simara Rose, sparkling and sweet singer for Starlit, for taking the time to answer some questions.

The whiney faced Britney defender, Chris Crocker, is getting his own television show:

Reality shingle 44 Blue Prods. has inked a development deal with Chris Crocker, the Internet superstar whose tear-filled defense of Britney Spears has generated nearly 8 million hits on YouTube in just one week.

Plan is to develop a docusoap built around Crocker, a 19-year-old who lives with his grandparents in Tennessee. Even before the Britney clip, Crocker had developed a large Net audience via numerous video performances posted on MySpace.com.

So, to be famous, all we have to do is get on Youtube and whine and cry “real tears” for a celeb that’s been “wronged” by the public? I’m all in for that one, where do I sign?

Besides not losing partial custody of her children, Britney Spears should also be thankful that she still has a handful of fans left to enjoy her music. Gimme More has climbed up the charts:

Britney Spears may have drawn criticism for her seemingly lethargic performance on the MTV Video Music Awards, but her new single, “Gimme More,” is racing up the charts at top 40 radio.

The cut posted the most increased plays on R&R’s CHR/Top 40 chart for a second straight week (up 976 spins) and climbs 25-20 on the tally, marking Spears’ first top 20 appearance since “Every Time” in summer 2004.

Britney hit a road bump with her VMAs performance, but if her music is good, then people will buy it. Her new untitled album is set to drop November 13th.

Music has never been the same since Cradle of Filth has joined in the metal mix. Backing vocalist and lead singer for Angtoria, Sarah Jezebel Deva, took some time out of their busy tour prepping schedule to answer some questions. She is a very cordial person and is someone that likes to take the time to get to know her fans. I had already emailed her a barrage of letters regarding the interview, so I thought I’d keep it short and sweet.

Do you have any vocal training? Or is the talent you have natural?

I’m self taught. No vocal training, I kinda trained myself by copying vocals styles and singers as a kid but that doesn’t mean I sing the right way, i just do what is natural to me. But I’ve always been able to sing.

How is singing for Angtoria different Cradle of Filth? Are you more pleased with the sound?

Hard to say if I’m more pleased. Angtoria, I’m lead, Filth I’m backing. I’m proud of both.

If you could sing a duet with a male performer (besides Dani Filth), who would it be?

I wouldn’t want to sing a duet with Dani!
Well I’ve already sung with Aaron from My Dying Bride, something I’ve waited years to do. We did “Original Sin” together on “God Has A Plan For Us All”.

Other male singers? Mike Patton of Faith No More, Pete Steel is still a vocal dream, Seb Bach and Brendan Perry, he is the amazing male voice behind Dead Can Dance.

Do you write your own songs or is it more of a collaborative effort?

I write all my own lyrics and melodies TO the music. With CoF, in the past I’ve come up with a lot of vocal melodies, but not lyrics.

Any words of wisdom to your fans?

Never give up on a dream! :)

I’d have to agree that Pete Steele and Sebastian Bach are great vocal talents. I’d love to hear a duet with her and Pete. I can imagine a very dark collaborative effort there.

A special thank you to Sarah for taking the time to let us get to know her better. A rockin’ musician whose talent should definitely not go unnoticed. Here’s looking to see ya when ya come to Cleveland!!

The song choice is “All the young dudes”.
