Musician Rowland S. Howard, dead at 50

by on Dec.30, 2009, under articles

Rowland S. Howard has passed away yesterday at the Austin Hospital from liver cancer at the age of 50.

He previously played with Nick Cave in The Birthday Party and wrote “Shivers” for The Boys Next Door in 1979. He gained more critical acclaim for his solo album, “Pop Crimes”.

His friend and former bandmate Mick Harvey said, “Sometimes people are ready to go because they have been sick for a long time, but Rowland really wanted to live. Things were going well for him outside of his health and he wanted to take advantage of that and he was very disappointed that he wasn’t well enough to do so.”

RIP. Sad.

John Mayer wants to give up Twitter & gossip for a week

by on Dec.30, 2009, under articles

John Mayer basically wants us all to back away from celebrity gossip, entertainment news and all that jazz — for an entire week!

He said:

*email only from laptop or desktop computers

*cell phones can only be used to make calls, and no text messages or e-mails are allowed – if you receive a text, you must reply in voice over the phone. E-mails must be returned from a laptop or desktop computer.

*no use of Twitter or any other social networking site – this includes reading as well as posting.

*no visiting of any entertainment or gossip sites. (No need to detail which ones – you know what they are.)

Methinks this photo is an accurate representation.

Jonas Brothers breaking up in 2010 over Kevin’s baby plans?

by on Dec.30, 2009, under articles

Rumor has it that since Kevin Jonas got married to Danielle Deleasa, that their number one priority is each other. Which might spell bad news for the band.

A source said, “They’re planning to start a family very soon and it could even be a honeymoon pregnancy. They’re basically putting it in God’s hands and even though they’re young, they are both ready to start having children.”

Does that mean that it’s curtains for the band? According to a family insider, “Joe sees the writing on the wall for the group. Kevin’s heart is just not in the group anymore. His wife Danielle is his number one priority, especially after their wedding night!”

What do you think?

Rumors claim Nick Jonas is dead

by on Dec.29, 2009, under articles

A lot of celebrities have passed away this year and a lot of hoaxes have laid claim to celebrities such as Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears and Jeff Goldblum. So why should Nick Jonas be any different?

One silly source claimed, “Nick Jonas died at the Baylor University Medical Center at 7pm EST after going into cardiac arrest. One report claims Nick experienced chest pains and difficulty breathing while receiving a lap dance from an exotic dancer at the Silver City Cabaret, a popular strip club in Dallas.”

BS Point #1: This source sounds like they’d rather give us the address to the strip club than speak the truth about Nick. The so-called snitch also claimed that Joe Jonas “mentioned Nick had neglected to properly treat his diabetes that evening, being completely enamored by the dancers.”

BS Point #2: Does a Jonas brother even know what the word enamored means, let alone use it in a sentence???

Nick Jonas is not dead and we’ve heard nothing else aside from this nuttery.

Diddy loves some therapy

by on Dec.27, 2009, under articles

Diddy has said that he used therapy to get over the death of friend Notorious B.I.G., along with his breakups with Kim Porter and J-Lo.

He said, “I’ve gone to therapy for relationships I’ve been in, for tragedies I’ve been through. I think therapy is good. I’ve been called bipolar – I’m not; I just have very drastic mood swings. I went to therapy when Big died, but a lot of my therapy has been with love and relationships. I’ve had therapy about my relationship with Kim, about my relationship with Jennifer. Therapy helped me through a lot of those situations.”

Maybe he just needs to talk through how much he sucks?
