Everybody knows that it’s the rich and famous people who get the most perks in Las Vegas. Hard Rock Hotel and Casino even has a ‘Rock Royalty Card’ for their favorite few and you’ll never guess which seven celebrities have been given the privilege. The magnificent 7 is made up of 50 Cent, Jack Black, John Legend, Brittany Murphy, Maria Bello, Diego Luna and Billy Morrison.
The perks that these 7 get include transport on the Hard Rock private jet, access to the Bowling Alley Penthouse Suite and other celebrity suites, full access to club Body English and the Joint concert venue plus VIP pool treatment. And guess what? These guys have 7 cards out of 50 that exist in the universe.

Kid Rock’s Waffle House scuffle is pretty much the first thing people think about these days when it comes to the rocker but he’s not going to let it pour maple syrup on his sense of humor. He was recently seen in the Bahamas wearing a t-shirt which said “I’m a Waffle House Kid”. Now ain’t that the truth? I wonder if he has a shirt which references to the VMA incident with Tommy Lee.
Kid was in the Bahamas partying it up with Adrian Young, the drummer from No Doubt, and other celebrities who were there to participate in the Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational Gala.

Despite recently claiming he wanted to get back into the music business and prove that former bandmates Take That are not better than him; Robbie Williams seems to have had a change of heart. Looking chubby and out of shape, the Rudebox star says he may never hit the road again claiming the last tour almost killed him. He has also said that he may not even release a proper album this year.
The reason behind this seems to be that Robbie is enjoying the recluse lifestyle too much. He says, “I do have to say, the more time I’m spending away from public life, the more I like it. Unfortunately I have a massive competitive urge that wants me to put out three albums a year. Which one will win? I’m sure as soon as I get bored I’ll be back. But right now there’s a soy vanilla latte and mince pie waiting for me in the kitchen.”
Robbie is clearly in a quandary about whether to hang up his mic for good. He was recently spotted with a ridiculous hermits beard and admitted, “Christmas was a glutton feast - I neither fit into my pop star trousers or my bed for that matter.”

Is it really true that Robbie is getting “old” in our celebrity books. Former manager, Nigel Martin-Smith thinks so. Robbie has just had to pay the man £500,000 in damages after attacking him on his Rudebox album; and if Nigel is to be believed it could all have been fixed with a simple apology. It seems Robbie was just stubborn and refused to meet with the man.And now Nigel speaks out on his opinions; claiming that Robbie is waning and needs to take some time off to “stop loving himself so much”. He also thinks that Take That, who recently reformed without him, are on the rise and that the Angels singer needs to step back and let them have their time in the spotlight.
Maybe he is right. Robbie’s last album was slated by critics and the man himself has admitted to having writers block. Cute as he is maybe a break is just what he needs….

It’s another DUI charge for another celebrity. Don’t they have enough people to drive them around to keep that from happening?It is well known that Scott Weiland, frontman for rock group Velvet Revolver, has fought a lengthy battle with substance abuse. Now it has been reported that he crashed his car back on November 21st. Apparently he also failed sobriety tests as well.
He was booked at the Van Nuys jail on the charge and then refused to submit to blood or urine tests. He posted his bail of $40,000 and returns to court on December 13 to face the charge.
Geez, people….if you’re gonna drink yourself into such a state, at least have the decency to protect the rest of us and stay off of the roads!!!

After his Tuesday arrest for possession of marijuana, Baby “Birdman” Williams decided to talk to MTV News about what really went down.
Police reported that they had recovered over a pound of pot on the RV that Williams and 15 other passengers were traveling in. He says it wasn’t like that; “We got charged for a misdemeanor amount - we didn’t have no pound.” Yeah, since the amount really makes the fact that you were charged with marijuana possession SO much better.
He also disputes the gun charges. He says that everyone carrying weapon is licensed to do so. “The guns we had were good. I do carry a gun and I am licensed. Tennessee is one of the states I can tote in.”
He is also up in arms about another reported misprint that has sparked rumors around the net. He maintains his bachelorhood, saying, “I’m not married. Never! Been! Married! Plus, that girl was 18! I don’t get down like that! Plus, if I was married, why would I keep it a secret?” So, ladies, he’s back on the market.
Whatever happens, he is due back in court March 18 to figure out what is going to happen. Until then, he’ll continue to promote his new album, 5 Star G.

Well the Brit awards could be a very colourful affair in 2008, as it has been revealed that iconic family, The Osbournes will be hosting them.The event is to be televised live at London’s Earl’s Court on February 20th for the second year running. Nominations have yet to be unveiled; due to be announced at London’s Roundhouse on January 14th.
For those who don’t normally tune in, I myself will definitely be settling on my sofa for what is sure to be an interesting evening as we watch Ozzy and Sharon present the awards with what are sure to be a few controversial moments thrown in to keep the press happy.

Apparently there are some crazy people in this world. And one of them has threatened Oasis member, Noel Gallagher, to the point where he feels he needs police protection. Here I thought you Gallagher brothers were meant to be tough cookies.
When I originally heard about this I assumed it was a crazed fan on a mission for an autograph or whatever is collectable these days…hair, teeth; you never know. But a source said it was actually a Greek man, accusing Noel of stealing his lyrics. The incident interrupted a recording session for the bands seventh album, held at Abby Road Studios.
But despite the police guard that has been appointed for the duration of the recordings; police didn’t seem to take the matter all that seriously. It is claimed they briefly looked for the assailant before cheekily asking for a sneak preview at the band’s work. They were politely refused.

Everyone that like to feel they live their life, both young and old people, must remember the gold days of INXS music, when the band had its original members, included the regretted Michael Hutchence. A great singer and song writer, Michael passed away ten years ago, in a sad circumstance.
INXS members gathered to remember him as he was, to celebrate him in death as they would if he had still been alive today. They received tons of fan mail, plenty of people remembering the legend of Michael.
INXS are simply happy that they can pay a tribute to their most precious member by continuing his work today, in his absence. In 2006 they joined a new member, a Canadian singer called Fortune. And frankly, us all, their fans, are quite happy they are still around also.

When it happened it shook the music industry. Top band Radiohead released their new album, In Rainbows, on the net in October…for free. It was a scheme intending fans to pay ‘what they thought it was worth’, including the option to pay nothing. Invites to fans to pre-order caused the website to crash. Music directors warned it would make music meaningless, causing it to become a throwaway item. But of course they would say that; there’s no profit in free stuff is there?
In contrast the fans thought it was great. The album soared to the top of the download charts and everyone thought the move was radical and revolutionary.
But now the rockers break their silence to claim they never wanted to be revolutionary. They simple said that everything they have ever written has been leaked, so why not leak it themselves. It was simply a move to prevent the album materialising illegally.
Hmm, I think preferred it when they were being radical personally. Otherwise it just kind of sounds like defeat, you know the kind of thing; “well you were going to steal it anyway so just have it”; before they throw the thing at us and shuffle off sulking.

Although their music befits the arena-sized stages their popularity dictates - and they openly crave to play - the band have not received the critical estimation and pop cultural resonance they covet.
On Tuesday they began in remarkable fashion. Within the first five songs of a 90-minute set there were confetti canons, stage struts and three rousing sing-alongs. Opening with Sam’s Town, When You Were Young, Bones and Somebody Told Me, they didn’t lack chutzpah
But without denying the brilliance of their songs, they didn’t have much to say. Flowers delivered a remarkably charismatic and energetic vocal performance. Yet during a lull in an otherwise outstanding show, the effeminate, increasingly gaunt frontman was, outside of his music, lost for words. “Now would be a good time to have something to say,” he surmised. “But I don’t.” Silence. And then another brilliant, giant pop song. Of which there were plenty on the night. Mr Brightside, Read My Mind, Bling and the superb closer All These Things That I’ve Done all fitted that bill.
The best moment of an exceptional show was when Flowers went silent and let the crowd take over the vocals on the minute-long Enterlude.

Common is planning to ditch his music career for Hollywood, because he feels he will be more successful as an actor than he will ever be as a rapper. With a mug like that, good luck in tinsel town Common or should I say Basic, Ordinary, Regular, Usual, Normal, Standard, Typical, and Regular. Well I know my description here falls shot of being elaborative so tell me speak my mind here about these wholesome good for nothing maniac rappers who glorify the n word usage as if it were praising the citizens of our society for driving out terrorist out of this country. The Hollywood acting scene already has a lot of crap actors and actresses so we can do without his presence. In other terms if he suddenly has a wish to clean up the rap scene and thinks that he is doing the rap world a favor then he has most certainly forgotten that his presence in Hollywood is not welcomed by any of us.

Maroon 5’s 2002 debut album, Songs About Jane, was the kind of hit that doesn’t happen often in the new millennium — a genuine word-of-mouth hit whose popularity grew steadily after its release, largely due to the sweet, sunny hit “This Love,” a song sly and catchy enough to stay on the adult pop charts for years without wearing out its welcome.
It Won’t Be Soon Before Long appeals to both audiences with an ease that seems effortless, but like any modern blockbuster, this album was shepherded by several different teams of producers, all brought in to emphasize a different personality within the group. The bulk of the record was cut with Spike Stent and Mike Elizondo — Stent worked with U2, Oasis, Björk, and Gwen Stefani, while Elizondo had produced Fiona Apple and Pink — but Queens of the Stone Age producer Eric Valentine was brought in for a couple of cuts, as was Mark Endert, who mixed “This Love.” There may have been three different sets of producers, but the album is streamlined and seamless, never seeming calculated even if it was clearly made with an eye on mass appeal.
Even the flashiest production-driven tracks here — the opening one-two punch of “If I Never See Your Face Again” and “Makes Me Wonder” — aren’t about feel; they’re about the songs, which are uniformly tight and tuneful, sounding better with repeated plays, the way any radio-oriented pop should. If some of the ballads aren’t as distinguished as the livelier tracks, they nevertheless are as sharply crafted as the rest, and the end result is that It Won’t Be Soon Before Long is that rare self-stylized blockbuster album that sounds as big and satisfying as was intended.

Everyone thought he was dying of a heart attack a few days ago. All his suppliers were pretty much thinking they were about to go broke, but hey! Bobby Brown was seen out and about and puffing away on a cigarette. Is that really smart?
Paparazzi caught the R&B singer at Vibiana at the BOXeight fashion show a few nights ago. And as he was stepping out to head home, he quickly lit a cancer stick and puffed the rest of the night away.
If it’s not cardiac arrest, he’ll die of lung cancer. It’s not a wise move, but it’s his prerogative.

Rumors went around recently about American Idol alum Katharine McPhee and her 42-year old actor boyfriend were engaged. But when the singer was spotted taking a stroll through New York City on Saturday, no accessory to support the fact was seen.
What was seen was the diva accessory of a small pooch on a leash. Kat was walking around with a little Chihuahua, Nena, which she could probably wrap around her finger. I think it’s also safe to say that the little dog weighs just as much as a four carat diamond ring set in platinum. It will do for now.

Remember earlier this year Sean P.Diddy Combs refused to neither acknowledge nor accept responsibility for the illegitimate child he had with Sarah Chapman when he cheated on Kim Porter? Well Diddy’s finally stepping up to the plate and taking legal responsibility for his sixth child. How convenient for Sean to first deny that the baby girl is his and now that there is evidence that the girl is indeed his he can say that he will take care of her for the rest of his life. Bull shit, Sarah should go up to him and slap him tight on his face or rather be nasty and then go up to him and leave him with a scar that will remind him that he made her pregnant and that scar will remind him of his baby girl. If he just wanted to have some fun with Sarah then she or he should have advocated the use of a simple condom to keep things safe.

Jeremy Piven is pretty well known as a slimy Hollywood agent on ‘Entourage’ but underneath all of that Hollywood shine is a rock god. Well, close enough.
Jeremy was spotted in the crowd of a Metal Skool concert at the Key Club in Hollywood on Monday night. When the band caught sight of him, they dragged him up on stage to play the drums on the AC/DC classic hit ‘Back in Black’.
And wouldn’t you know it? He actually did good on it. Now how did the band know that Jeremy could play or that he knows the song? Hmm.

Kid Rock’s relationship with girlfriend May Anderson is in jeopardy amid mounting speculation the model has cheated on him. The rap/rocker - who has been charged following an assault on drummer Tommy Lee at the MTV Video Music Awards last week - began dating Danish Anderson in March. Who, in their right mind, would want to be with messy, scruffy Kid Rock when they can be with a CK model? This girl has taken just 6 months that what a freak and crocked up person Kid Rock is and that’s why she wants to leave him and look for someone whose a bit more human. I am sure that CK model would be a better guy in every sense of the word, from being a friend to being superb in the bedroom and then take care of her nicely and not fight like an idiot with other men.

A security guard at a Guns ‘N Roses concert is suing the band, primarily the lead singer, Axl rose, claiming that Axl kicked him in the head. The interesting part: it was back in 1996!
The lawsuit filed by Gary Armijo claims that while he was working as a security gurard stationed in front of the stage, Axl “intentionally kicked [Armijo] in the head proximately causing severe physical injuries.” So severe that he forgot to sue for 11 years? Come on.
Axl’s attorney Howard Weitzman says that the allegations are frivolous and there is video proof of the incident which contradicts the allegations. He also says that it’s a pathetic attempt to get money.
There’s a glitch in the whole thing though, the band wasn’t performing in 1996. It probably happened in 2006. Let’s chalk it up to a typo.

As unlikely as it sounds, rapper 50 Cent has said that he would love to duet with Robbie Williams.
On the day of the release of his Curtis LP, the “In Da Club” star said the ex-Take That singer was supposed to have guested on this album, but both of their schedules meant it wasn’t possible.
Whether he gets chance to do this in the future depends entirely on him outselling Kanye West’s Graduation, as he has threatened to retire if he doesn’t.
Speaking to Loaded magazine, he said that he was so busy that he didn’t even see that much of Eminem or Dr. Dre but was contributing a track to the former’s new album.

Kanye West probably thinks that he doesn’t need to do any sort of publicity on his new album because well, he’s Kanye West. After getting shut out of all five nominations for the second year in a row Kanye throws a hissy fit tirade backstage at the VMAs this year and swears he will never do anything for MTV again. After watching his bitch ass triad backstage at the VMA. kanye west is a cotton pickin, welfare milking, song stealing, worthless piece of crap ni**er. He’s an embarrassment to black people. I used to like him at one time. He is alienating his fans - not too smart. His last c.d. only had a few good songs and the rest was filler crap. Nobody likes a narcissist, except the narcissist him, Kanye. And who needs him anyways, if he doesn’t want to come back he might well as leave for good, and tell you what he’ll end up coming back and shall be singing and dancing, he won’t go away we all know that, good if he is not seen for a few days, that wo
