Sugar Ray singer Mark McGrath has walked the plank on the US version of Celebrity Apprentice after a disastrous pirate pitch for suntan lotion company Australian Gold. But Gary Busey only just avoided the cutlass after he corralled executives from the company during their presentation and told them their lotion made him feel “really sexual”. Rocker Meatloaf stuck the knife into the Point Break star after exploding with rage at the actor during last week’s task. In the boardroom, Meatloaf told Donald Trump: “Gary told the executives ‘This whole thing makes me really sexual’.” Quizzed about his inappropriate comment, Busey denied saying the words but straight-talking country singer John Rich corroborated Meatloaf’s accusations. Rich said: “You did say that. It was disturbing.” McGrath was the project manager for the ill-fated pirate-themed pitch for the tanning company. He chose to bring only Busey back into the boardroom for the final cut. His team had been up against project manager La Toya Jackson, who headed the girls team, and narrowly won by using the Australian Gold mascot – a koala bear – in their street presentation. In the boardroom, McGrath took the fall for Busey. After being fired by Donald Trump he said: “It was all my concept – if they truly didn’t like my concept, who else can I point the finger at?”

Kate Moss is having to organise her wedding on her own because her fiancé Jamie Hince is away on tour. Hince, who is currently touring with his band The Kills, has left the Croydon-born supermodel with the job of planning the wedding single-handedly. A source told UK newspaper, The Mail On Sunday: “Kate has been doing most of the organising herself as Jamie is touring as much as possible before their wedding this summer. “He’s booked solid. Kate is a little miffed that she’s been left to do all of the hard work.” It is also claimed that she still hasn’t spoken to her hairdresser pal James Brown about doing her hair. He reportedly told friends: “I haven’t spoken to her for ages, I don’t know whether I’ll do her hair.”

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.

Cult rockers My Bloody Valentine will play their first live gigs in 16 years when they take to the stage in the summer of 2008. Kevin Shields’ British group revealed their tour plans on Thursday, one week after announcing their reunion. The rock icons, which are planning to release a new album before the end of this year, will play gigs in London, Manchester and Glasgow in June and July. The group last played live in 1992, and have been inactive since 1995. They have also been linked to the 2008 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in California.

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.
