‘’Green Day Sing Day-Oh! Conquering The MTV Video Music Awards!’’
My man Billie Joe Armstrong and company had me cheering at the edge of my seat as Green Day emerged the ultimate victor, sweeping the MTV VMA’s Sunday night. The video for their dazzling song, ‘’Boulevard Of Broken Dreams’’ won 6 awards including Video Of The Year, Best Group Video, Best Rock Video, Best Director, and Best Cinematography. Their video for ‘’American Idiot’’ won The Viewer’s Choice Award. Green Day opened the awards performing ‘’Dreams’’ with Armstrong stating ‘’It’s nice to know rock music still has a place at MTV’’, (translation: Music…Period), upon accepting the award for Best Rock Video. Other winners included Kelly Clarkson, Missy Elliott, and Gorillaz. Performances came from the likes of a very bizarre R. Kelly, as well as from Clarkson, My Chemical Romance and others. While Hurricane Katrina threatened to huff, and puff, and blow the house down, the biggest ‘’twister’’ came prior to the awards, early Sunday morning. At a pre-show celebrity shindig held at Miami’s Shore Club, hosted by hip hop’s Kanye West, rapper, music mogul, gangster, Marion ‘’Suge’’ Knight was shot in the leg by an, as yet, unknown assailant. Knight, certainly a man of questionable associations and reputation, is just fine. Our discerning listening ears, on the other hand, are another story.

‘’Sir Paul McCartney Causes Chaos!’’
Macca is back with a vengeance and a brand new album, ‘’Chaos And Creation In The Backyard’’ to prove it. The album drops September 13 as Sir Paul launches a 37 city USA Tour kicking off at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, September 16. The album has proved great fodder for Sir Paul dishing big time doing a gamut of press. In the current issue of ‘’Billboard Magazine’’, Macca goes on to say that since he doesn’t own the publishing rights to the Beatles’ catalog, he actually has to pay ‘’someone’’ whenever he performs his own songs live, the very ones he wrote with bandmate John Lennon. That ‘’someone’’ would be Michael Jackson who bought the lucrative Beatles’ publishing rights from Northern Songs. However, Jackson is having his own financial difficulties as of late in that one of the financiers who put up the loan funds for Jackson to buy Northern Songs, hasn’t been paid back and is getting their panties in a legal uproar, and so, boo, hoo, Jackson is getting a taste of his own medicine. If Wacko Jacko doesn’t come through and pay up soon, the publishing rights automatically will revert, rightfully to Sir Paul. Can you say, ‘’Oh Bla Di, Oh Bla Da, Life Goes On’’! Or as John would have said ‘’Instant Karma Is Gonna Get You’’!
‘’Pete Doherty Rumbles With Johnny Borrell’’
Proving he really is the pain in the ass we all know and love, Pete Doherty, not content to sit on his laurels for crack and heroin addiction, being the tosser boy for Kate Moss’s pussy whipping, assault and burglary of former Libertines’ bandmate, Carl Barat, now can add ‘’pathetically trying’’ to beat the crap out of Razorlight’s Johnny Borrell to his glowing attributes. Last night, August 28, at Branham Park at the Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival, both Doherty’s attempt at a band, Babyshambles, and Razorlight played the final night of the Festival, with Razorlight performing on the main stage and Babyshambles performing on the NME/Radio 1 Stage. Witnesses claim that just before midnight, Doherty turned into a wolf with the arrival of the full moon. Or something to that affect, as nut job Doherty went to Borrell’s dressing room and for no good reason, headbutted Borrell. As the ‘’fight club’’ ensued further, security was called in to break things up. Sources told NME.COM ‘’We’ve been told that Doherty did in fact have a disagreement with Razorlight. Rumor is that Doherty walked into the band’s dressing room last night after both bands had played and in an unprovoked attack, headbutted Johnny Borrell. Johnny put Doherty on the floor and left the dressing room, at which point festival security escorted Doherty from the dressing room and back to his bus.’’ Pete, ya know it’s pretty lame when the only way you can get your band any attention, is to play the village idiot. Razorlight not only kicked Babyshambles’ ass, Johnny took you out to the cleaners.

‘’Iron Maiden Kicks Ozzy’s Ass At Leeds’’
Speaking of being taken out to the cleaners and idiots turning into wolves. After the legendary scuffle last week between Sharon Osbourne, starring as Alien lording over Ozzy “Bark At The Moon’’ Osbourne, and Iron Maiden starring as Predator in the train wreck of the century, with the two going head to head over a war of words and chaotic events, Iron Maiden came out on top, closing out the opening day of the Carling Weekend:Leeds Festival. They tore the roof off the main stage in what was their first performance since their notorious final night show at Ozzfest, in California last week, where Maiden alleges that Sharon Osbourne deliberately sabotaged their show, due to certain negative remarks allegedly made by Maiden’s frontman, Bruce Dickinson about Ozzy. Looks like Predator won this round. Stay tuned for further developments..er..regression!!!

‘’Evangeline Lilly And Dominic Monaghan Lost In Love’’
After much ado about something, with whispers of a romance going on between the 2 co-stars of the USA’s hit guilty pleasure TV show, ‘’Lost’’, Evangeline Lilly and Dominic Monaghan have confirmed that they are indeed a couple. Monaghan proudly spoke up and let the cat out of the bag to the press, doing the honorable thing by his woman, with the two lovebirds being spotted hand in hand and on red carpets in tinsel town aka Hollywood. Wonder how that real life dynamic will play out in the upcoming Season 2, when Lilly’s character, Kate, gets fresh, turning up the heat with actor Matthew Fox’s, character, Jack? Just remember, now that ‘’Alias’’’ Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have gotten hitched, and there being rumors of just a little jealous tension on the set, it’s now confirmed that ‘’Alias’’ co-star Michael Vartan’s character Agent Vaughn, will meet an untimely demise this season. Careful, Matthew….watch out for that falling tree, that ferocious monster, that typhoon, uh, just watch out!
