Hurray For Alcohol Abuse - Puddle Of Mudd Singer Booed Offstage!
from the Try It Again! Try It Again! Headfirst This Time! dept.
Despite admitted that he was too fucked up (his words) to play, Puddle of Mudd's Wes "Fred Durst's lil' Kurt Cobain" Scanlin remained onstage, even as his bandmates left; the tortured artist was going to soldier on and give of his very soul. For the fans. And for a magical half-hour, he did indeed open up as he never has before in his faux rock god life, showering the audience with profanity and insults and improvising a number of bawdy drinking songs right on the spot. The cops nabbed Scanlin for disorderly conduct as soon as he stepped off the stage. Surely this will prompt a massive scandal not seen since the whole Rolling Stones "Who breaks a butterfly on the wheel" drama. No? Anyone? What? There's three-hundred other bands who sound exactly like them? How 'bout that William Hung, eh....

ABC Shocked To Discover That Justin Timberlake Isn't Black
from the Disney? Too White? dept.
So Justin "J-Dog" Timberlake won't be hosting the Motown 45th Anniversary Special on ABC after all, after network execs were broken out of their US-Magazine fuelled-stupor by angry protests from black pundits and leaders that, y'know, just maybe the whitest white kid in the land isn't the best mouthpiece for one of America's most vibrant black (and otherwise) musical movements to date. Picky, picky. He's got "soul" - ABC knows SOUL, DISNEY knows SOUL, for god's sake!

Ben Moody, The Shitty Phil Spector
from the More Guitar! More Overdubs! More Vocal Sweetening! Magic! dept.
Since Ben Moody left cat-down-a-flight-of-stairs metallers Evanescence, he's been immersing himself in any number of bullshit musical projects. Writing with Avril Lavigne, rocking with Kelly Clarkson, soundtrack work for Punisher and Passion, and even an upcoming rap/metal cover of a Public Enemy song - the man is ubiquitous yet still very very crappy. So put the hit out on him first, and THEN Linda Perry. Okay?
