Queens Of THe Stone Age Rift: "He was bummed, man."

from the Sid Who? dept.

Josh "Homewrecker" Homme spilled the beans to nme.com regarding the expulsion of longtime creative foil Nick Oliveri from Queens of the Stone Age: ""He was bummed, man. It was the only time that an irrational guy was rational. He was going, 'I don't want this to happen.' But when you see a guy winging bottles at the audience, you eventually just say, 'Fuck this!' If you don't, then you're just somebody's bitch... We used to have a thing we called 'Jekyll and Hyde' where, whenever Nick did something, we blamed Nick in the press, and whenever I did something, we blamed Nick in the press. But I think Nick started believing our press and thinking that he's gotta be the next Sid Vicious or something. And I think Sid Vicious is a badass, but also I think Sid Vicious is a dumb drug addict who couldn't play bass and never wrote a song, and if he stayed alive most guys would have went, 'This guy's a fucking worthless piece of shit.' And so I don't think that's something to aspire to." That's sad, man, Oliveri was a most favored rockstar here at Ink19. Oh well.

Blobby Williams?

from the Even The Haircut's Gone To Pot dept.

But Robby, how can we launch your 568th failed push down the throats of the American public if you prance around in public dressed like that? Singin' dancin' Robbie Williams has apparently cut down on the aforementioned activities and now divides his time between cheesburger munchin' and trimming the sleeves off his "stylish" t-shirts. Pass the mayo.
