Wake Up Courtney! Time To Go To Court!

Courtney Love.
Just the name conjures up the feeling of Ewww.

Courtney has her knickers in a bunch (when are they not in a bunch?) over the way Activision used ex hubby Kurt Cobain’s image in Guitar Hero 5.

The agreement was to supposedly have Cobain sing only two songs in the game, which of couse incuded “Smells Like Teen Spirit“.  But Cobain’s character in the game is an unlockable character.

Cobain Ala Activision

For all you non gamers out there, an unlockable character means the gamer can make the image do other things. Like sing other performer’s songs.

So Love and former Nirvana band mates, David Grohl and Krist Novoselic, were not too tickled when they found out that Cobain is singing songs by Jon Bon Jovi and Bush in the game. (the band Bush that is, not Dubya, although that would be a riot)

Ex Nirvana band members were quoted about their dismay:

“While we were aware of Kurt’s image being used with two Nirvana songs, we didn’t know players have the ability to unlock the character,” they said.
“This feature allows the character to be used with any kind of song the layer wants. We urge Activision to do the right thing in ‘re-locking’ Kurt’s character so that this won’t continue in the future.”

Courtney called the avatar “vile” and “necrophilic” and Twittered:

” This Guitar Hero shit is breach of contract. I think Kurt would despise this game alone let alone this avatar.. We are going to sue the shit out of Activison”

When it comes to vile and necrophilic. Ms Love takes the cake.
We all know how vile she can be. And someone would have to be into necrophilia to be attracted to her these days.

As of late, Love has been looking mighty bad. The recent photo below, shows her beyond scrawny and way up there on the “Ewwww” scale.

Love Looking Like Death Warmed Over

 
I think it’s pretty cool that Activision agreed to include Cobain in their game at all. Love and ex band members should be thankful that Activision is keeping his memory and Nirvana’s music alive.

The ex band members are asking Activision to come up with a patch, so Cobain’s character stays locked. Fair enough, but a computer geek friend told me it can’t be done once the game is out. Don’t know if this is totally correct.

Love has her lawyer, Keith A. Finch on the case and he seems to think she indeed has a case.

Finch said,
“Activision was not given an unbridled right to use Kurt Cobain’s name and likeness. As for Cobain, his journals suggest that he’d be less than pleased about a game that shows him belting out “You Give Love A Bad Name”.
Writing about Bon Jovi in the late 1980’s, he issued a one word review: Evil.”

Well, I am not a fan of Bon Jovi myself, but I think the word evil to describe them is a bit silly and over the top. I am sure if Cobain was still alive today, I think his opinion would have matured a bit.

Besides, Nirvana was nothing to write home about. Nirvana themselves weren’t some ultra fabulous band. They were nothing more than a 90’s garage grunge band that literally “stepped in it”. And don’t even get me started on Love’s band “Hole”.

But hey, that’s my taste. Obviously if Nirvana sold over twenty-five million albums in the US, and over fifty million worldwide, they were very much admired.

But why some people continue to think that Cobain was some sort of iconic rock God is beyond me. He was a junkie who had a very short career, a raspy nothing voice and he had an average band. He met Love in 1990, they got married in 1992, and Cobain shot himself in 1994. (supposed self inflicted gun shot wound)
Many people blame Love for Cobain’s untimely demise. I guess we will never actually know the truth.

If you are driving around Aberdeen, Washington, you will see a sign which reads, “Welcome To Aberdeen Come As You Are”, which was purchased by the Kurt Cobain Memorial Committee back in 2004 as a tribute to Cobain. If you are not famaliar with Nirvana’s music… “Come As You Are” is of course one of their songs.

Let’s also not forget that Love and Cobain had a daughter, Francis Bean. I am sure her life has been far from enchanted due to her father’s death and her whacked out mother. 

So back to the lawsuit…
Ms. Love is not a stranger to lawsuits by any means. That is, people suing HER of course.

She was recently sued this past May by American Express for not paying $350,000 in charges. (gee I thought my card was bad)

Contactmusic.com wrote:

COURTNEY LOVE is facing a legal battle with American Express over the credit card company’s claims she has racked up more than $350,000 (£233,000) in unpaid charges.
The firm filed suit against Love in the U.S. District Court on Wednesday (27May09), demanding the rocker pay off the staggering debt on her Gold card.

The former Hole frontwoman had her plastic privileges suspended after she “failed and refused” to clear the balance, according to the lawsuit.
Love has been continuously struggling with her finances in recent years – it emerged in April (09) she had hired a team of private investigators to reclaim the millions of dollars she alleged were stolen from her late husband Kurt Cobain’s estate.
And just last year (08), Love was sued for $1 million (£667,000) by London & Co., an accounting firm which charged the star had failed to pay them profits from the sale of Cobain’s share of the Nirvana publishing catalogue.
A spokesperson for Love was unavailable for comment as WENN went to press.

 
Well, isn’t that interesting? She has two huge companies suing her.
Doesn’t stop there…
She also is being sued by her former body guard for $60,000.

TMZ wrote:

It costs a lot of money to keep the world safe from Courtney Love – her former bodyguards say she stiffed them out of $60,000 this year.

Screen International Security Services filed a lawsuit today in L.A. County Superior Court, claiming they provided “security services, in connection with the protection of Love, her family members, and her property” between April and August of this year.

SISS says Love never paid a penny for services rendered — totaling $58,222.50 — and are suing for the full amount plus interest.

Love’s attorney just sent us the following statement:

“This lawsuit should be placed in the Wikipedia page next to chutzpah. It has no merit and is based on a private security company’s attempt to fleece a celebrity.

SISS is claiming it is owed money for providing around the clock security for Ms. Cobain and her daughter at the St. Ives home for a period of time she and her daughter were NOT living at that home but were living at the Chateau Marmont. SISS has no written agreement with Ms Cobain to support their claim and on its face it is ludicrous.”

SISS was paid a substantial sum for the “service” it provided while they were living at that home. Despite knowing that Ms. Cobain and her daughter had moved out of the home they continued to provide security to an empty home by having someone sit in a car all day eating a ham sandwich while the Cobains were residing miles away!!!

AND her snarkiness doesn’t end there.
In 2007, Love was also quoted as saying,

 “I’m going to have a Christie’s auction,” to hock the bulk of Cobain’s belongings with a portion going to charity.”

I don’t know if this auction ever took place, I couldn’t find anything else about it.”

So do you think Love is really upset over this whole Guitar Hero thang? Or is she looking for some quick cash in all the wrong places? (see what I did there?)

Her lawsuit with Activision is starting to “smell like ”GLEAN” spirit to me”. *snicker*

Seems to me, that she has been living off Kurt’s fame and money for years, and doesn’t plan on stopping.
The lyrics from her song, “Celebrity” say it all.
“Use Once and Destroy“.

Now don’t get me wrong. I am all for performers getting credit where credit is due. And if there is a huge copyright issue, then it should be dealt with.

I think Cobain being included in Guitar Hero 5 was a compliment and an honor to both Cobain and the remaining members of Nirvana. And now Cobain will be forever immortalized in the gaming world. If gamers want to be more respectful, I guess they can always choose for Cobain to only sing the two songs by Nirvana. Easy solution. Those who don’t care, will have him wailing Bon Jovi.

As far as Courtney Love?  
What about your daughter Francis Bean Courtney? 
Doesn’t she deserve better?
Clean up your act and grow up woman.
And for God’s sakes, wash your hands and clean those damn fingernails!

Love’s Fingernails Looks Like She Clawed Her Way Out Of A “Hole”

Looks like Tawny Kitaen just can’t stay out of trouble.

Tawny aka Julie “Tawny” Kitaen starred in Bachelor Party with Tom Hanks back in 1984. She was also in a movie that she is probably not too proud of called The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik-Yak  aka Gwendoline in 1985 and then a horror flick, Witchboard in 1986.
Gwendoline was about:

” a 1985 erotic adventure based on a French comic strip. Stowing away on a China-bound freighter to search for her long-lost father, virginal Gwendoline (Kitaen) ends up in the clutches of randy sailors — till a daring adventurer (Brent Huff) saves her. Heading upriver to find Gwen’s dad, they soon crosses paths with the female warriors of the Yik Yak tribe.”

Wow! How she was able to get any work after that movie is pretty amazing. 

Tawny is most famous for her romp atop the hood of a jag in a video for Whitesnake. For all you youngins’ out there… Whitesnake was a big hair rock band back in the 1980’s.

The video she starred in was for their song “Here I Go Again” sung by her ex HUSBAND, lead singer. David Coverdale. (ick… sorry, he always grossed me out)
For a blast from the past, click here to watch a fuzzy version of her friskyvideo that guys are stil talking about today.

Her marriage to Coverdale only lasted a few years. And six years later in 1997, she married St. Louis Cardinals pitcher, Chuck Finley. They had two children Wynter and Raine.

Earlier Picture Of Much Happier Times

But trouble came knocking again when Tawny was arrested for beating Finely with one of her stiletto heels while he was driving and she was on the passenger seat.  MEOW!
Yeah, I know all the guys out there are probably thinking that sounds crazy sexy and hot. But sorry guys, it’s just crazy. And that little tiff could have killed the both of them.

Needless to say, three days later and not surprisingly, Finely filed for a divorce, which ended their five year marriage. And it’s also when the custody battle started for their kids.

Tawny continued her spiral down with continuing her addiction to drugs and alcohol. She starred in the sixth edition of Surreal Life and I remember watching that show. She really came off as quite the whack job. It was evident that she was high as a kite on that show. (well to me anyways)

She continued her reality show career on a stint with Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. I also watched this show.

Tawny with Dr. Drew

She was totally different on this show compared to her behavior on the Surreal Life. I thought she was doing pretty good, by the end of the show and she also “graduated”. (of course we all know to take these shows with a grain of salt and that the reality part of these shows is pretty slim)

On VH1’s Celebrity Rehab website , it read:

 Tawny thanked fellow rehabbers for giving her hope, and friendship, something she really hasn’t had in the past.

I wonder what ex husband Finely thought about that statement?

Tawny then went on to an outpatient program in Newport Beach, so that she can be close to her family. Sure glad that she didn’t pick to go Scientology’s phony Narconon program and I hope she never does. Why am I mentioning Scientology? Because Scientology pounced on another rehabber from the show, Jeff Conoway when he left the show early.

Thanks to fellow Grease star, John Travolta. Travolta gave Conoway a whole library of Scientology books and the service of a Scientology ”auditor” who visited Conoway almost every day. Out of the pan and into the fire I say. Shame on Travolta for getting Conoway mixed up in the cult. Just utterly sickening.

Even though Conoway may have been tricked into thinking that Scientology actually helped him kick his addiction, their success rate for helping drug addiction through their Purification Rundown is actually like 6%. Not the trumped up numbers they lie about.

I haven’t heard anything further on Conoway and Scientology. I hope he dumped them like a lead balloon and finds some REAL help and without the cameras rolling this time.

Let’s hope the Scientology vultures keep their mitts off Tawny, as she would be the perfect candidate with her rocky past, her fragile state of mind and her addictions. Which to Scientology…Tawny would be “fresh meat” and prime for the picking.

So what is going on with Tawny now?
Well that brings us up to her latest escapade of getting pulled over for alleged  *snicker* DUI.

Better get Dr. Drew on the phone.

Celebrity Rehab alum Tawny Kitaen was taken into custody Saturday afternoon near John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, Calif., on suspicion of driving under the influence.

The 48-year-old former actress/reality star allegedly “made contact with officers after operating a vehicle while under the influence,” according to Sgt. Shontel Sherwood of the Newport Beach Police Department.

Kitaen, who has also appeared on VH1’s The Surreal Life, was busted in 2006 on drug possession charges, after police found 15 grams of cocaine in her San Juan Capistrano apartment.

The Whitesnake music video babe struck a plea deal with prosecutors in which they agreed to drop the felony drug charges after she completed a drug treatment program.

Geez Tawny!
Two failed marriages, drug addiction, alcohol problems, busted for felony drug possession and two rehab failures. Yikes! Aren’t you done yet?

So I wasn’t too surprised when I saw that the LA Times reported this past March that she put up her house up for sale in Newport Beach with an asking price is $3.45 million. *shakes head*

Egad Tawny!
Get your sh*t together! You have two kids!
You have obviously ignored several GIANT wake up calls.
Save what’s left of your life and got off that roller coaster before you become a statistic.

If not for you, then do it for your two kids who deserve to have their Mom be there for them.

This story really puzzled me. I really liked Randy Quaid. I enjoyed him in the FIRST National Lampoon’s Vacation and of course Kingpin, just to name a few, but I  had no idea that Quaid and his wife were such scumbags.

I was shocked to read that Randy and his wife skipped out of a local hotel after racking up a $10,000 bill. I was more shocked when I read that this wasn’t the first time they did this and that they were on the lamb.

They were later caught and arrested in Texas. They were charged with three felony counts. One of those was for burglary. WTF did they take ALL the towels from the hotel? Having their credit card declined was the icing on the cake. Wow.

Either they are flat broke, or maybe drugs are involved? I find it hard to believe that the Quaids would just do this for kicks.

So I dug a little and found out they also went after CBS a long time ago and also went after the makers of Brokeback Mountain.

Hmmm… I am starting to see a pattern of delusional thinking and a “the world owes us everything” complex.

It seems not even Hollywood stars are above the odd dine-and-dash. Or, in Randy Quaid’s  case, resort-and-dash.

The Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Department has issued arrest warrants for the actor and his wife, Evi Quaid, after the duo allegedly skipped out on a $10,000-plus bill at a local hotel.

“The three charges that both are facing are burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy,” sheriff’s spokesman Drew Sugars tells E! News. “All three are felonies in this case.”

While the reason for the defraud charge is apparent, the conspiracy and burglary counts were included as officers believe that the couple—who seem to have a history have a history of this type of behavior—never had any intention of paying for their stay.

Authories have not identified the hotel in question, but, according to RadarOnline, back in June the couple cozied up at the ultraluxe San Ysidro Ranch, only to be notified soon after their arrival that their credit card had been declined. The Quaids, who were nonetheless allowed to continue with their stay, told hotel management they were waiting for a replacement card to be sent to them.

In the meantime, they continued racking up their five-figure tab, eventually departing from the ranch a week later. Unfortunately, as went the Quaids, so went any hope of payment.

After what the hotel claims were multiple attempts at recouping the bill, management turned to police, who launched an investigation into the matter.

Should the on-the-lam duo be caught, their bail has been set at $20,000 each.

Randy Quaid no longer has a publicist and, like the sheriff’s department, we were unable to reach him for comment.

UPDATE: The Quaids were arrested in Marfa, Texas, Thursday for allegedly rooming and running at a local hotel. Bail has been set at $20,000 each.

To add to the drama, some snipettes from RadarOnline :

RadarOnline.com spoke to a source close to the investigation, who confirmed that Randy and Evi also owe the Hotel Bel-Air $17,000 in unpaid hotel bills and are holding on to a rental car that has been reported missing by Hertz Rent-A-Car.

Sources tell RadarOnline.com that Randy and Evi failed to return their rental car and are currently keeping it stashed away at their home in Marfa, Texas.

 
Back in 2008, RadarOnline reported:

26 members of the Lone Star Lovecast claimed Randy physically and verbally abused them, the Actors’ Equity Association banned the “Brokeback Mountain” star — brother of actor Dennis Quaid — for life and fined him more than $81,000 in February 2008.

 
From TMZ:

Randy Quaid’s wife allegedly went nuts on four people, claiming they were all a part of a Hitleresque plot against her husband.

Hitleresque plot?  *holding my sides while laughing* 
Yeah, ok Evi…. Paranoid much?

I guess I have been living under a rock. I had no idea that the Quaids were such loons. Randy Quaid has been in a myriad of movies over the years. Perhaps his hook up with nutty wife Evi has caused him to go off the deep end and throw his career away. 

Even if they are off their nuts, do the Quaids actually think that they are above the law and wouldn’t eventually be caught? Or are they drug addicts and just don’t give a crap?

I mean, this isn’t the 1970’s when stars got away with a lot more shenanigans way back when. What makes them think they can get away with running up hotel bills, stealing from hotels and not returning a rental car? *shakes head*. Sounds like they could be fueling a hefty cocaine addiction to me. Just saying….

In the words from the theme song from the 1970’s show Baretta … “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time”
(Speaking of which… Rober Blake? *cough* )

Not quite sure if the courts will only be giving the Quaids slaps on the wrists. Considering that this was not the first time they did this, their history of nuttiness and the amounts they owe these hotels are pretty darn steep.

If they only receive a slap on the wrist, then I blame the courts for letting stars live above the law. It happens all the time. Hello George Michael and other stars! You know who you are.

I sincerely doubt a slap on the wrist would act like much of a deterrent from the Quaids pulling another Bonnie and Clyde in the near future. I think their crimes would only get bigger.

Hey Quaids! Why not knock off a bank next? Who cares? After all you are the Mighty Quaids! Right?

I don’t think I will ever look at Randy Quaid again the same. And Evi? Never cared about her in the first place. Throw her punk ass in jail.

Randy on the other hand, seems to be getting more and more nuttier like his alto ego, “Cousin Eddy” every day. Ewwwww!

UPDATED PHOTO FROM ARREST:

Well, well looks like Bobby Brown has packed on the pounds. Bobby
and his double chin will be sweating it out on “Celebrity Fit Club” scheduled to air in 2010.

According to TMZ, he will be joined by cast members from “High School Musical”, “Baywatch” and “The Practice,” which will include Shar Jackson, Nicole Eggert, Tanisha Thomas, Casey Stroh, and Michael Badalucco. Is this the best Celebrity Fit Club can come up with?

I wonder if Bobby, who has always been tough to handle (to say the least) will succumb to the grueling boot camp and all the rules of “Celebrity Fit Club.” Many “stars” *cough* before him, like for instance Dustin (a-hole) Diamond aka “Screech” of “Saved By The Bell” fame, did not fair too well and had too much of an attitude to be on the show and ended up leaving.

Bobby’s track record of being an abusive crack smoking husband 
married to Whitney Houston (although she is not innocent by any means) certainly has crushed his popularity over the years.

Bobby better decide if he still wants to use his “My Prerogative” attitude or man up and stay on the show.

I happen to catch Bobby on D.L. Hughley’s show one night, and he sang My Prerogative, (it WAS a kick ass dance song) or I should say, he attempted to sing it. It was SO bad, it was painful to hear. His years of drug abuse, alcoholism and cigarettes really reeked havoc on his voice. It was totally shot. Don’t get me wrong, I do not have one smidgen of sympathy for this man.

His years or partying, abuse and just being an all around IDIOT have really caught up to him.

A Young Bobby Brown Back In  The Day

It's anyone's bet whether or not Brown will show up on "Celebrity Fit Club." The man can not seem to stay out of trouble. After all... he has been juggling living at two different homes over the years. *snicker*

But then again, ”reality” tv shows have to film their shows way in advance, so maybe this show has already wrapped?  Who knows. I just may have to tune into Celebrity Fit Club this time around, just to see Bobby sweating his butt off and being told what to do.

Will Whitney be at home watching with a big tub of popcorn? I only hope she will be tickled silly over getting to see a little pay back 
served up to Brown, rather than her cheering him on, because I never want to see Whitney, or anyone for that matter, looking like this again.

Crack is Definitely Whack!

To be fair, Bobby wasn’t all to blame for their insane relationship. It takes two to tango don’t forget. (geez! I sound like my Dad)
They were total partners in crime. And she should have left long ago. And of course Brown has always said that he never did cocaine before Whitney came along. HIS WORDS. Yeah ok.

I just know that I saw Whitney go from a vibrant and beautiful singer to an abused and skinny drug abuser after the two of them hooked up.

Their reality show they did together, “Being Bobby Brown” was short lived and a disaster, and Whitney ended up paying a huge price for standing by her man.

Now I was never a Whitney Houston fan, “I Will Always Love You,” has always pierced my brain, but she does have a beautiful voice. Even though her music is not my style, I do hope her recovery continues and that “The Voice” is able to get more of it back.

Her recent appearance singing on “Good Morning America” in Central Park and her talk with Oprah had her fans out in droves. Houston’s interview with Oprah was a far cry from her raspy voiced  interview with Diane Sawyer on Prime Time  (part 1) back in 2002, which is where her infamous “crack Is whack” quote came from. It was beyond obvious that she was in much denial, and very defensive. And Here is Part 2 of the interview, where she talks about her past missed appearances, drugs and actual footage of their marriage to Brown along with their 800 guests in her $40,000 wedding gown. 

In that interview, Whitney and Bobby were already married for 10 years and at that time she said she didn’t want to let go of Brown. I am just glad, as well as her fans, she finally did let go of him.
Bobby ends up joining the interview later on and denied he ever hit her and he said he was diagnosed as being bi-polar and denied all other drug use except smoking pot. *snicker* (Here are parts 3, 4, and 5 of that  2002 interview  if you are interested.)

Whitney’s recent interview with Oprah was like night and day in comparison to the interview with Diane Sawyer back in 2002. She looked like Whitney again. Finally Whitney came clean about the drug abuse, Bobby’s physical abuse and his infidelity and how her mother saved her life with an intervention and valiantly had Whitney removed from her house and forced her into rehab. Thank you Mom!

Her recent performance on GMA in Central Park definitely showed how much her voice has suffered from years of ”partying” and it was quite obvious that she wasn’t able to sing all the parts of the song and she seemed quite winded.

Rumors have it that ABC “digitally sweetened” her songs as reported by Gawker. But  it didn’t matter to her fans one iota, who seemed very elated to see her and were there to support her. Whitney is very fortunate that so many of her fans have never left her side.

Now back to Bobby…

Bobby’s fans? He has never had anywhere near as many as Whitney to begin with, and the ones he had, I think have totally given up on him for the most part. Partly because he has dropped out of the music scene long ago and because people blamed Bobby for ruining Whitney’s life. 

The man has always been his own demise. So your guess is as good as mine as to what the future will hold for him. My gut feeling is that he isn’t done abusing himself or others and he may stay clean for a while, but I don’t know how long that will last.

He is destined for a meeting with karma somewhere down the line, and he’s the only one who can change that.

Recently, Juliette Lewis was interviewed by Craig Ferguson on The Late Late Show. What the hell is wrong with her? Really? Yeah, I know she has always been wacky, but she sounds totally out of her mind now more than ever.

I was surprised that Craig Ferguson even had her as a guest on the show and that she agreed to go on the show to begin with, especially since he has been mocking Scientology pretty heavily for quite a while now. But as usual, I would imagine because Lewis is a celebrity (I use the term lightly), that she is out of the loop as far as what is going on in the real world. Particularly if its anything anti-Scientology.

I believe that Ferguson was mocking her during the whole interview and she was too dumb to realize it. After all, Ferguson did do a parody of the famous Tom Cruise Scientology video, and seems to enjoy being snide at Scientology’s expense.

Lewis was being interviewed for her new CD called Terra Incognita. Rolling Stone gave it 2 1/2 stars. I think they were being a bit generous, okay, A LOT generous.

Not surprising to me was the fact that Terra Incognita is also the name of an article written in 1949 by Scientology cult founder L. Ron Hubbard and published in The Explorers Journal. The title of the piece was “Terra Incognita: The Mind”

Not terribly shocking, when you consider the fact Lewis is a raging Scientologist and sadly was born into it. Shame on Lewis’ parents.
Her Scientology records, shows that she went “clear” in 1997, and she has been quite the busy gal at the Celebrity Cente, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on courses and auditing. 

Her Scientology records also show she did the dangerous Purification Rundown in 1993. Juliette has also been on the Scientology cruise ship the Freewinds twice. Which means she has been exposed to asbestos twice, since it wasn’t until April 2008 when the Freewinds was shut down by the Curacao Drydock Company due to the blue asbestos on board. I also doubt Juliette knows how much of a polluter the operators of the Freewinds are.

Although she supposedly legally emancipated from her parents at age 14, I still say shame on her parents for getting her into Scientology.

Her Mom is Glenis Batley, a graphic designer and her Dad is, actor Geoffrey Lewis. He is also listed as a “clear” in the Scientology database. He is in a band called Celestial Navigations with fellow Scientologist Geoff Levin (whom he met at the Celebrity Center) Celestial Navigations is a band which started out in the late 60’s and began touring again a couple of years ago.

The band uses story telling. together with music and is way, WAY out there. I did a quickie look around their MySpace page and website and knew immediately I fell into a L. Ron Hubbard Scientology blackhole. So a word of caution, if you hear that Celestial Navigations is performing or doing a “benefit”, please know that the proceeds from your ticket purchase may just end up in Scientology’s pockets down the line.

Scientology artists sneak things into songs all the time. Several of Beck’s songs and titles have Scientology references — which all sucked. As we mentioned in a previous article, Beck did a “benefit” concert and did not tell his fans that the proceeds were going to a Scientology front group called Educating Children International. Slick move Beck.

So back to Juliette on The Late Show…

She was babbling on about being inspired by pixie dust and magic, and said:

“You know, the kind that lives in your imagination”.

Of course we know Juliette.

She goes on about her outfit, (which by the way I have to give her credit for those fabulous boots) and how she doesn’t wear animal fur (good girl) and explains that her outfit has feathers on it, not fur, and that when birds drop their feathers, you can pick them up and then put them in your clothes.  I do that all the time myself. You should see my pigeon sweater. Ick!

They discussed her new CD,  and the CD cover, which pictures her pulling a bull by a red rope. She says it was a vision that came to her and that it was a metaphor for so many things. Emphasis on the BULL Juliette.

So what has Juliette said about her band “The Licks” in the past:

“Disillusionment, joy and pain, the contrast of sound… heaven and earth, really groovy big-bottom bass and drums and then very atmospheric mercurial guitars. I was trying to get my sonic soul poured out on record. It’s like heaven in a vat of lava that’s about to explode.”

Ummmm yeah. Well I have heard the Licks and I do agree on one thing she said. The word pain. They are very painful to watch. Speaking of painful. If you didn’t catch her singing (I use the term VERY lightly)  ”I Will Survive” with Eve at a Detroit night club prepare to cringe. Click Here. 

This is the kind of crap that makes me nuts. With all the people trying to make it in the music industry today, along comes doofus Juliette Lewis and the Licks, who simply can’t sing a lick, or play for that matter, yet, they are getting gigs. Just sickening.

Juliette did announce on the show that her band was no longer going to be called The Licks, as one of the “band” members is going in another direction. Smart move dude.

As the interview continues, Lewis mentions sky diving out of nowhere. Do you think she is possibly suffers from ADD? It would make sense. Although of course any mental problems she may have do not exist in Scientology land.

Call me crazy, but I think this interview may have hurt the few sales she would have had for her CD? Of course that’s not counting all the Scientologists who are told to buy more than one copy. (suckers)

You just have to simply watch the clip of The Late Show yourself, so you can see exactly what I am talking about. Click here and be horrified.

To complete the torture, Lewis also performed a song on the show.
WHY? I hate to keep repeating myself… but again, there are so many talented people out there who will never get the chance to make it, and here’s Juliette Lewis stinking up the stage. Click here and be disappointed.

Between her former drug problems, alcohol use and Scientology helping her to further screw up what little brain cells she has left, Lewis sounds like she is on her way to a padded room. When talking about her CD she said,

 ”That’s where she wants to go sonically and physically and lyrically and all those things”.

How proud do you think Scientology is over an interview like this? If you look at the celebrity members that Scientology brags about, (you know, every “church” does that) it’s not looking too good for them.

You have Tom Cruise, who is crashing and burning, Will (I am not a Scientologist) Smith and Jada, who just opened a Scientology school, Kirstie Alley whose weight and current nuttiness has not been the best advertisement, then on to Lisa Marie Presley who has had a wacky past and is being sued by her maid, Isaac Hayes who died on a treadmill with a heart condition, and John Travolta who continues to suffer over the death of his son Jett and just may walk away from them completely (fingers crossed). Of course we can’t forget to mention the crazy sauce that is, Jenna Elfman who was quoted as saying:

 ”Aids is not a disease, it’s a state of mind”

So what have all these Scientology celebrities proven? That they have been totally duped by a cult and obviously Scientology doesn’t work AT ALL. They all seem to be getting wackier and wackier, and if anything, Scientology proves to be a real career adjuster — and not in a good way.

I hope some day these stars snap out of it and leave this crazy cult that turns their heads into jello. But if they decide to stay in, I hope they continue with their nutty behavior and shenanigans which work like kryptonite against joining Scientology.

Kudos to you, Juliette, for the lovely interview with Craig! Keep on doing exactly what you are doing. We need all the help we can get to show how much Scientology is exactly what it is…BULLSHIT!

I tend to ignore people like Mischa Barton because they are so cluelessly unaware of the world’s perception of them, that it makes it a severe waste of time pointing out the obvious. Sadly, even Mischa has made herself impossible to ignore.

A bit of Mischa history. Barton was a model and sometimes actress, best known for her role on the “O.C.”, a fairly popular show going back a few years. Mischa is also known for hanging with the other Hollywood messes Lindsay Lohan, the reformed Nicole Ritchie and her herp-infected pal Paris Hilton. Even these skanks knew better than to keep hanging out with Mischa, as her life began to spiral out of control.

Many a blind item has been devoted to Barton’s coke habits, possible meth addiction and alcoholic endeavors. It seems Mischa’s successes in life revolve around her love-life — when that fails, she fails. When she dated Cisco Adler she kept herself mostly together, but since then, she’s had a string of failed relationships and her struggles to maintain stability have become quite public, including a DUI, numerous reports of drug and alcohol binges, as well as a stalled career.

In the last two weeks Mischa has been forced to come to terms with her out of control behavior, landing her Cedars Sinai Hospital under a 5150 – which is essentially a mandatory hold placed a person who is deemed a danger to themselves, or possibly others. Reports have stated that after a 3-day drug binge (possibly on cocaine) Mischa flipped out and called the police with threats of suicide.

Now, a video has surfaced of Mischa doing an interview for Handbag TV, after a recent opening at Harrod’s in London. Homegirl is a certified mess. Being an “older” person, I have some familiarity with people “under the influence” but I have never seen someone this obviously whacked out on something. Her eyes pupils are HUGE, she can’t stand still, she’s fidgeting, staring off into space and what the EFF is with her voice? Honestly, she looks TERRIBLE and this should be a huge wake-up call to Mischa and those around her.

What Was And What Should Never Be

I may be an old fuddy duddy, but where are the responsible people in these young starlets lives and why aren’t they looking out for them? Mischa’s sister Hania tried to commit suicide in 2008 and has been seen looking completely out of it also – WTF? If I had two kids that lost, I would definitely be doing something. Shame on her parents, shame on her friends, shame on her handlers.

Mischa, when you make people like Lindsay Lohan worried for you and telling you that you need help — YOU NEED HELP!

Let’s get on this already.

Michael Jackson’s famous kiddie bait ranch may be up for sale next month if he doesn’t pay the more than $24M he still owes on the joint:

The fact is, if Jackson can’t sell more than 200,000 copies of a special edition “Thriller” in two weeks, he’s not going to be selling so many concert tickets after all.

And that may be an essential part of the equation as Jackson’s lawyer, Peter Lopez, makes a last-ditch attempt to refinance the $24.5 million loan needed to keep Neverland. Jackson is already leveraged to the hilt. He has assets on paper, but he doesn’t work. He doesn’t tour, and he’s not releasing records. Why would anyone in this economy lend him any more money?

It seems that MJ won’t work, won’t make an effort, and wants everyone to give him everything on a platter without having to do anything for it:

One of Jackson’s biggest problems is that he won’t return to remunerative work. I told you two weeks ago that he recently was offered a great gig: 10 shows minimum, 30 max, at $1 million apiece to perform the “Thriller” album at London’s Millennium Dome. It was a solid offer from AEG Live. But he wouldn’t do it.

He also wouldn’t appear at the Grammys. He also refused to pitch in on “Thriller” publicity — most of it was done by producer Quincy Jones. It seems no one has ever told Jackson the old adage that 99 percent of life is just about showing up.

That’s completely ridiculous…any entertainer knows you can’t bask in the glory of your past successes for the rest of your life, without actively becoming part of your own money-making machine.  There are plenty of entertainers doing their same old shlock, but they get their butts out there and do it…they don’t send someone else or, worse, hide in the shadows while expecting the money to still roll in.  But maybe Michael has finally figured out that his views on life are not the same as, oh, most of the population, and he knows that whatever he says in interviews and on stage will be dissected by everyone.  That, and oh yeah…he’s a pedo, so coming out in front of the cameras is a huge risk for him.

It’s sad, too, because Thriller was such a great album.  I’d buy the remastered version, but I know the money is going to go to Michael, so I’m loath to do so.  Maybe I’ll wait a bit and buy it on eBay.  I did get bored a while back and looked up Neverland on Google Earth…it looks pathetic now.

So if you want some Michael memorabilia, now’s your chance, because not only is the house being sold, but all the things inside it are part and parcel of the deal (I don’t know if they’d have a seperate auction or if the possessions go with the house).  Since the house is in foreclosure, he might not be able to get inside to retrieve his stuff, so if you have money sitting around to blow, you might just have an eBay bonanza on your hands.

Britney Spears should buy Neverland.  It’d be great!  Think about it…she could have her own personal Starbucks, Rite-Aid, Taco Bell, gas station, whatever she wanted.  She could call it Britneyland and she could run around commando to her little heart’s content.  She wouldn’t be a danger to anyone, and I’m sure the boys would love it when they come to visit.  Put in a Chuck E. Cheese and it’ll be perfect.  Of course, she’d have to hire some paps to chronicle her every move, but doesn’t she already have some on the payroll anyway?

 

Rehabbing singer Amy Winehouse was caught out grabbing some takeaway from KFC with a drawn-on black tear under her eye.  Those in the know (which is pretty much anyone who reads news and who knows who Amy is) say it is a reaction to the news that hubby Blake Shine’er-Silver got hold of some bad drugs in the big house:

She emerged from her Camden home with her bodyguard, to pick up a take away from Kentucky Fried Chicken on the day it was reported that husband Blake nearly died after overdosing on heroin in prison.

Today he was said to be recovering in Pentonville Prison’s hospital block, after guards found him in his cell writhing in pain, and violently vomiting.

Prison officers later discovered that the drug was a toxic hybrid of heroin and other potent chemicals.

As our intrepid Dawn first reported on Sunday, Blake is reportedly upset that while he sits and rots away in jail, wife Amy is not only rehabbing and cleaning up her party-animal act, but she has been seen out partying and shopping with another Blake, an American artist who is squeaky-clean…even though she dedicated her Grammys to Bad Blake and gave him a shout-out twice in her set:

Blake was apparently fearful for his relationship amid rumours that the Grammys five-award winner has been enjoying herself with American photographer and artist, Blake Wood.

Fielder-Civil sent the singer a romantic Valentine’s hamper gift from his prison cell, following reports she had grown close to Wood, who has been dubbed “Good Blake”.

For her part, Amy has told friends that their relationship is platonic, and that Good Blake is actually homosexual.  The gays always make the best shopping buddies, don’t they, girls?

Amy.  Honey.  Come here a second.  I know that you are infatuated with Bad Blake, and he’s your husband and all that rot.  But listen to me a second…he’s a bloodsucking leech, a millstone round your neck, and he will do nothing but drag you down further and further into a drug-fueled descent to Hell.  I know it’s hard to let go of what you believe is such a romantic notion, and believing that the two of you are some sort of star-cross’d lovers, and it’s the two of you against the world, but trust me…crap like that only happens in plays, bad movies, and sugary love songs.  This is real life.

Let’s take a look at the comparisons…husband in jail, you NOT in jail.  Husband a unrepentant drug addict…you NOT on drugs and in rehab.  Husband poor and never works…you NOT on the dole of somebody else.  Husband’s life going down the dumper…your life NOT going down but your star is rising.  Husband a no-talent, no ambition, gagged-with-the-ugly-stick, knuckle-dragging monosyllabic troglodyte…well, you get the idea.  Just think about it, okay?

And if you’re worried about dumping him while he’s incarcerated, and how it will look, don’t worry…it will look GREAT, and we’ll all stand up and cheer.

I would like to know what this is in her nose…it could just be nose in her nose, but then again…I hope not.

No, don’t worry Blakey fans, he survived. I don’t know whether to rejoice or cry. Decisions, decisions….

Recent five Grammy winner Amy Winehouse’s husband Blake Civil-Fielder has been in a UK jail awaiting trial on his gross bodily harm charge and a later added charge of “perverting the course of justice” when he tried to bribe the very witness (a bartender) he and a group of buddies roughed up one night at a bar.

According to reports, Blake, and five other inmates were some how able to get a hold of heroin while in lockdown, and Blake took so much he OD’d and was rushed to a prison hospital after he was found passed out in his cell.

Amy Winehouse’s jailed husband nearly died after a heroin overdose, it was claimed today.

Blake Fielder-Civil was reportedly hurried to Pentonville Prison’s hospital block, writhing in pain, after guards found him violently vomiting in his cell.

Prison officers later discovered that the drug was a toxic hybrid of heroin and other potent chemicals.

A jail source said that it was a “close call” for Blake and warned he might not be so lucky next time.

This seems like a desperate bid to derail his wife Amy’s recovery as she works hard to overcome her various addictions, after being semi-forced into rehab by her father and her record label.

It has long been suspected that Blake’s presence in Amy’s life was the impetus for her epic fall from grace. Since the two married last year, she’s been witnessed in various degrees of undress, disarray and dishevelment, including a video of Amy smoking crack, as well, having admitted on the same video to having dropped six Valium.

Hopefully, as Amy takes a closer inventory of her life, in a clearer state of mind, she will see that Blake is merely an Albatross of lameness dragging her down from her own destiny with greatness.

Behind every Tina Turner is an Ike that must be kicked viciously to the curb. KICK HIM AMY, especially while he’s down.

Sorry for the musical cliches, but Amy Winehouse is full of cliches. As K posted, The Sun has video of the soulful songstress burning her brains cells and destroying her voice through a crackpipe, this after admitting she just dropped six valium, wharfed some coke and snorted some powdered ecstasy. How all 90-pounds of her could still be standing after all of that is a mystery and the BBC should do a documentary on it.

Amy emerged yesterday with her dad and sporting a new hair-do. HALLELUJAH and PRAISE THE LORD! That Wino-Albino look was giving me nightmares. I was about to call the vet to have her treated for mange.

Amy’s long-suffering parents are fully aware of their daughter’s issues, and don’t much appreciate The Sun’s “underhand tactics” in getting her drug-binge on film. From P-Nasty’s site:

“I’m off to see Amy now. I’ve spoken to her already and she’s fine. She says she’s ok, so no problems. All that picture shows is what everybody knew anyway. Yes, I am worried about her but this picture doesn’t show anything we didn’t already know before. It just shows me the tabloids are resorting to underhand tactics to expose her and we already know what the problems are.”

He also has a quote from Amy’s record company, Universal Republic:

“We are deeply disappointed and upset by these latest revelations and are doing everything we can to offer Amy our full support in dealing with her problems.”

Oh please. F-U guys at Universal. You want to help Amy, drop her from your label. Stop paying her and feeding her ego and drug habit. Remove the incentive for her to continue disappointing fans, wasting her talent, and making a mockery of her creative talents.

Unlike say Britney Spears, who is clearly a few lot of brain-cells shy of being a fully-functional human, Amy is merely a drug addict with an attitude problem. All one needs to do is watch the video and see she is cognizant of her actions, and capable of making decisions for herself. This is not the actions of someone who’s brain is in another galaxy, but rather, a person who selfishly and greedily consumes substances as an excuse to escape her problems. Problems of her OWN making. Don’t marry amoral drug addicts who think beating people up is ok, and then try and buy their justice using your money.

Sorry to be so cruel, but Amy’s nothing more than self-absorbed junkie who doesn’t care about anyone but her next fix. That’s not something I have sympathy for. Thank heaven’s she doesn’t have children, because she’s just the type you’d hear about selling her kids for a rock of crack. She’s damn lucky I’m not her mother. I’d have snatched every last strand off her bleached-out head and made her walk around with red bald patches.

Yes, I’m that men. It’s called tough love Mrs. Winehouse, try it some time.

UPDATE: Speaking of tough love, it seems Wino is in rehab. NO, NO, NO!
