Really nice. Someone must’ve watched How I Met Your Mother and got the idea that Britney Spears actually knows how to use a telephone.

Darned animal rights activists.

I know, I know…Axl Rose is hideous, why do you think I didn’t show you this picture before you had your breakfast? You’re welcome.

Apparently, Dr. Pepper thinks it can twist Axl Rose’s arm so that he’ll release Chinese Democracy sometime between now and death this year.

They are offering a free Dr. Pepper to everyone in America if the plan comes to fruition. Everyone except Slash and Buckethead, that is.

I don’t think he’ll release it this year…..and by the time he does, we aren’t going to care.

You can pre-order the new album from Def Leppard here. (This is not an affiliate link.)

The album is due out on April 29th. Get your copy today if you can forgive the fact that Tim Mcgraw is on it.

I can’t wait until they release Guitar Hero 4. Def Leppard is said to have three songs on the upcoming release.

The songs are Photograph, Animal, and Rock of Ages.

Awesome!!

Thanks to ScottD for the tip!

Okay, this guy has reached the ultimate in douchebaggery. Sources say that Poison drummer Rikki Rockett was arrested at an airport in L.A. on a rape charge from Mississippi.

Check it out:

Officials there booked him on a felony fugitive sexual assault warrant out of Neshoba County, Miss. Information about the warrant and specific charges was not immediately available. Neither were details of Rockett’s current whereabouts.

But no one said if it was a guy or a girl!!! Inquiring minds wanna know!! (Note: Dude was a former hairdresser, need I say more?)

Sorry I haven’t been updating as much as normal, I’m fighting a wicked, evil cold.

I’m going to be posting more today and tomorrow….just wanted to give a shout out to all my peeps who keep reading my nonsense….thanks for sticking around, I’ll hopefully be up to 100% asap.

Rock on!

Update 3/28/07: I’m feeling a little better today, so expect me to ramble on a bunch today to make up for lost time.

Sources say that the former Destiny’s Child singer will be heading to Broadway soon:

According to MediaTakeOut.com, Knowles has already contacted the producers of Cat On A Hot Tin Roof and The Color Purple, with the producers of both stage shows expressing interest in having Kelly Rowland join their casts.

Joe Perry, of Aerosmith, put off having knee replacement surgery for two whole years. That’s a lot of time to go with a bum knee.

He apparently wanted to fulfill all of Aerosmith’s touring committments prior to getting the surgery.

Sources say that the surgery went as planned and Perry is recovering.

In case you didn’t know it, I’m an insanely huge Def Leppard fan. If you know me personally, then this isn’t exactly a surprise.

So when the music channel came together to put our posts together about our favorite concerts, I figured this one was going to be really easy.

The Def Leppard Euphoria concert was the best concert I’ve ever been to. That may be because it was also my first, too, but seriously, it rocked. Opening for them was some unknown band who really sucked and could barely be heard.

I went there with my ex-husband, who wasn’t a fan by any stretch of the imagination. But they played all of their hits and encored with Love Bites. We had lawn seats, which sucked, but the concert was electric just the same.

I stood up like a tard with a lighter and held it high and proud…..just the same as I would today. They still rock.

The only concert that would even come close to being near this ultimate concert status, was the Kiss/Aerosmith concert. Both were sweet concerts, but Euphoria takes the prize.

Can’t wait to see them again!

There. Listen.

I could do without the crappy country intro, but besides that, it’s cool.

Okay, I have to admit that today was the first time that I’ve ever heard Valerie by Mark Ronson. I know, I know….it was so September of last year…..right?

But this song hits back to the 50′s and 60′s sounds. It’s magical. I know I’m a dork for old music and sometimes it takes a while for a song to enter my rotation, but I’m kicking myself now, this song is awesome.

What do you think?

Viva La Vida, which means “long live life” is going to be the name of Coldplay’s fourth album, Chris Martin says.

I think it reminds me too much of La Vida Loca, which is what I almost typed instead. Doh!

Chris says he’s used to people picking on him for his naming choices, though, because he named his kids Apple and Moses.

If you’re interested, the album is due to be released June 17th.

Probably.

Courtney Love is looking to cash in again….and she’s still using Kurt Cobain as a brand. It’s a shame, because this really goes against the corporate nonsense that he really stood against. First it was lunchboxes, flasks, and Doc Martens in the sky, now, it’s Converse.

What’s next?

Converse has made the shoes with Cobain’s signature on them and they’re using diary entries from the late singer as part of the “tribute”.

Fans see this for what it really is, Courtney needs the cash.

Michael Stipe has come out of the closet in an effort to help some kids out there who may have trouble with confronting their sexuality.

How cool is that?

He says that some of his lyrics are directly from his life and that the song, “7 Chinese Brothers” was about him breaking up a couple and then dating both of them, the man and the woman. He attributed that to being young and stupid.

I don’t care if you’re gay, just keep making Shiny Happy songs.

And by the title of this post, I don’t mean that she is going to rise to fame like our wonderful poptard Britney Spears.

Apparently, Kelly Clarkson likes to go commando. Will she be the next star to get caught with her pants down? Heh heh.

Britney Spears has already shown the world her lady bits, so if Kelly is a fan of going without underwear, then maybe she’s next? Or, maybe she’s not a big enough star that the paps go around and try to take her picture, getting out of a car? Step it up, Kelly.

I know this isn’t exactly music news, but it’s my blog, and I’ll write what I want to.

Come for the music news, stay for the snark.

Abba drummer Ola Brunkert was found dead at his home in his garden in Spain, yesterday.

Ola was only 62 years old. He was discovered by a neighbor in his garden with cuts on his neck. His death is said to have been accidental, sources say. The police believe that he fell from a window and died while trying to seek help.

Rest in peace, Ola!

Yoko Ono was almost Yoko No-No!

May Pang, an ex-girlfriend of Beatle legend John Lennon has now come out with the news that Lennon and Ono filed for divorce five years prior to his untimely death.

Lennon and Ono’s marriage took a dive and then he started seeing Pang on the side. Yoko suggested a divorce and John was all over it, but Yoko stalled and the whole idea died.

Since Yoko’s been cashing in on her Beatle-loving, I guess it’s May’s turn in the spotlight. She’s now pimping out her book which contains memories and photographs of her and John’s time together. They had an 18 month relationship.

Way to milk it ladies.

Eminem is back in the studio!

Oh yeah and the former hottie is hitting the gym with a personal trainer, as well. Reportedly, Em was involved in a pneumonia health scare, which prompted him to pile on the pounds. Now reports are coming in that he’s looking to get back into the buff “Superman” shape that he was in before the holidays.

Sources say that the rapper is in the studio cutting tracks with Dr. Dre. I can’t wait, Eminem and Dre have always been two of my favorite rappers.

What do you think of the animated Spears?

Okay, he killed it.

Am I wrong?

Rolling Stone held a weekend competition to find the fan favorite of Madonna’s songs. I guess Like a Prayer beat out Into The Groove and Live to Tell.

I think mine is Lucky Star. Do you have a Madonna favorite?

I dunno how impressed I am with the song, considering it has Tim Mcgraw singing the first part….Give it a listen.

Let me know what you think.

I love Def Leppard and I’m even willing to forgive this incident, but I really wanna hear the rest of the Songs From The Sparkle Lounge before I pass judgment.
