While I know that Victoria Beckham is trying to do a good thing by auctioning off her Spice Girls stage clothes for charity, it just makes me wonder, how many people are desperate to own something that was worn by this do-nothing?

She’s hoping to raise $2 million for charity with this stuff:

The style icon is putting all six of her Roberto Cavalli-designed costumes from the band’s comeback tour earlier this year…The items being sold include a minidress covered in Swarovski crystals, thought to be worth $500,000, and the infamous gold corset and leggings the star wore, which are going under the hammer for $60,000.

The style icon?!?? Really?!?? I didn’t write that.

Who knew Ashlee Simpson was knocked up?!?? It’s not like it was a secret or anything…right?

First comes baby, then comes marriage, then, confirmation of baby. Doh!

I guess she’s a traditionalist or something, because she has decided to take the name of Fall Out Dud, Pete Wentz.

Our hearts go out to rapper Xzibit and his family in this trying time.

He posted this on his Myspace page:

AS you all know, I shared with you the announcement of my newborn son Xavier Kingston Joiner on may 15th and also informed you that he was born prematurely. well this week was extremly difficult for him because his lungs were not strong enough to handle regular oxygen on his own. Xavier passed away this morning at 3:30am and I must tell you this, It is unatural for a parent to bury a child. I am telling you this because of the same reason I tell you when im having great times, life is too short to be fake. Hold on to your kids if you have them, protect them and show them you love them everyday you wake up and see them, dont take a second you get to hug them teach them and care for them for granted. You can have all the material wealth in the universe but it is NOTHING compared to having your family. I am thankful for all of my blessings and im not one to question God’s perfect plan, so I leave you with great love and thanks for the love that was sent earlier on my pervious blog to my son. Of course I need to take some time and handle my loss, STAY FOCUSED PEOPLE. Its not promised to any of us.

R.I.P Xavier May 15th 2008- May 26th 2008

May he rest in peace.

Bruce Dickinson, singer of Iron Maiden, has recently shown that he totally does not approve of people doing drugs at his shows.

At a recent show, the singer yelled at a fan for smoking marijuana during a concert.

Blabbermouth says that Bruce reprimanded the man in front of the entire crowd, telling him, “Would you please put that f**king s**t out? My lungs are trying to work up here, dude.”

You’ll be glad you did!

Rikki Rockett, the drummer for 80’s rock band Poison, took to his Myspace blog to say that he has been exonerated of the rape charge after a Mississippi grand jury refused to indict him.

The reason? He wasn’t even in the state when the actual act took place.

Rikki also claims that he was the victim of an impostor named John Minskoff.

Congrats to Rikki for clearing his name.

Steven Tyler has checked into a rehab facility in California and his representative says that he has no information on the topic.

Get well soon, Steven!!!

All of your fans are here to support you!!

From the picture, you can see that everything is going to be okay. I just hope that our favorite big lipped rocker doesn’t end up on the next Celebrity Rehab or some crap. That would suck.

Since I haven’t been caring about this dumb show interested or watching American Idol this season, I will defer this commentary to my mother, who states this:

From all that I have read about the two, David Cook is the more popular of the two, which could translate into more votes. It’s a close race between them. Everyone is saying that Idol missed their chance with a rocker as their Idol two years ago with Chris Daughtry and this will give them a chance to get it right.

I think, just from what I’ve heard, that they’re wanting to make it look like it’s a stiff competition between Archuleta and Cook, but we all know that Cook is going to win. Why else would they be heaping praise onto Archuleta last night? To get us to watch, duh.

Fans of the show Rock of Love with Bret Michaels are going to love Charm School, headed up by Sharon Osbourne. I can hardly wait.

Apparently, those rejected by Bret Michaels will be on the show so that Sharon can teach them how to be “sophisticated rock & roll ladies”.

In this rock version of the show, Sharon will attempt to spruce up the contestants and the winner will walk away with $100,000.

Do you think Lacey or Heather will be on the show??

The show is set to premiere in August.

Amy Winehouse leaves her Camden home at 1.30am with her bags packed, and heads for a hotel. Amy appears to have a small spot of blood on her vest, as well as fresh cut marks on her arm, and sores on her hands.

She looks like heck. Drugs will do that to ya.

What do you think? You like??

Wanna win a cool new guitar????

Fretlight, the cool people that make guitars that have lights on the frets for learning how to play, has graciously sent us a cool, black guitar for our wonderful giveaway, so special thanks to them, they rock!!

The above model is what I received in the mail and it will arrive in the same pristine shape that you see in the picture. It’s cool, it’s black, it rocks, and the best thing is, you can win one free.

(Editor’s Note: The guitar that is being given away is not a lefty as you see here, it was the only really good picture I could find. Thanks Scott!)

All you have to do is leave a comment with your best musical memory. For extra entries, you can stumble this post (and comment to let me know you did) and link to it. So, all in all, you have three chances to win!!

ALSO (yes, there’s more!), second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh place will not go home empty handed, either!

The wonderful people at iMainGo have sent us some iPod/Zune/iPhone portable speakers that will rock your socks off! Here’s a pic with the specs:

Check them out here.

Third, fourth, and fifth place prizes will be these cool Turbo Tooth Tunes toothbrushes!

I have three of those for the giveaway. These rockin’ toothbrushes actually play two full minutes of a cool song to ensure that your little one brushes for the proper amount of time.

I have High School Musical 2, Hannah Montana, and Kiss!! The HSM one plays, “What Time Is It”, Hannah Montana’s is “We Got The Party” and the Kiss one plays, “Rock ‘n Roll All Nite”.

Here’s a pic of what they look like:

Sixth place will receive a CD by Laura Bryna, she’s a country artist who, my mother says, sounds like LeeAnn Womack (not sure who that is…lol). Stay tuned for the official review by my mother. She’s an avid fan of country music and says this CD is way cool.

And, last but not least, two final winners will receive a copy of Kimberly Cole’s new CD single, “Nitty Gritty”. She reminds me of Gwen Stefani a bit and she’s up-and-coming. Check her out, she may just be the next pop queen! (Stay tuned for the review on this one, too.)

So what are you waiting for, leave me a memory and get the ball started!!!

This giveaway is going to run for an entire month and ends on June 18th. At that time, I will randomly select all of the winners through a randomizer, and email you for your address.

If you’re one of the lucky winners, you can come back on the site and do a guest post, reviewing the gift that you received from Earsucker.

Remember, you have three chances to win! A musical memory comment, a stumble, or a link to this post.

(Incidentally, the guitar is not for a lefty, as the picture would suggest.)

Both of these tracks are from Songs from the Sparkle Lounge and I can’t seem to get them out of my head.

This one is called “Go” and it has some rockin’ riffs and awesome vocals. Joe Elliott & co. doesn’t let us “go” for a second:

And this one is called “C’mon C’mon” and you just have to listen. I’m going to say it now, Def Leppard freakin’ rocks and don’t you forget it!!

Love it!
