a-ha announced on their site that they will be calling quits after a farewell tour next year…:(
The band would like to thank their fans and everyone who has contributed to their amazing journey, and say:
‘We’ve literally lived the ultimate boy’s adventure tale, through a longer, more rewarding career than anyone could hope for.
Doing this now will give us a chance to get more involved in other meaningful aspects of life, be it humanitarian work, politics, or whatever else - and of course through new constellations in the field of art and music. We are retiring as a band, not as individuals.
Change is always difficult and It is easy to get set in one’s ways. Now it is time to move on.’
Tickets will go on sale tomorrow for their world tour tomorrow and I really hope they are coming to The States because I would love to see live before their band is dead. The trio were together for over 25 years which is a really good run for any band! So I guess you can say not did they Take On Me, they Took on the World too in all that time!

In honor reaching 1 million followers on Twitter, Soleil Moon Frye dressed up as Punky Brewster, the character she is most famous for. You know what with the wig and the clothes she looks exactly as she did when she played Punky Brewster as a wee one, but taller.
BTW I wonder if her husband made her keep the costume on for some bedroom play afterwards. After all she was in a celebrating mood!

The Cars singer Ric Ocasek was see topless with his wife Paulina Porizkova and I can think is someone needs to feed him ASAP. He has always been stick thin, but I have never seen him without a before and I hope to keep it that way. On a positive note he doesn’t look bad for 60.
Adam Ant is back to Stand and Deliver!!! The Goody Two Shoes singer who had several years (including a 6 month stay at a psychiatric ward) that were not good to him is ready for his comeback according to the Daily Mail. His girlfriend has helped him Strip away the pounds and the past and now he is ready to hit the road once again! Seriously I can’t wait to see him live because it will be interesting to hear how he will do his amazing songs now, you know he will change them up a bit from their original sound.
So The Sun published this photo of Depeche Mode and all I could think of is when I saw it was when did they get so old? Seriously I was all excited to go see them next week (April 23rd) on Jimmy Kimmel Live! when they will close down Hollywood Blvd to play a live gig for the show, but now I am having second thoughts because I am not sure they can handle playing more than two required songs. Seriously what happened to Martin Gore?
Willie Aames, who filed for banktupcy last year, has a found a new way to make money. According to the Kansas Star he held a Garage Sale at his house yesterday for a documentary about his life now.
People are making a television documentary of his life, hard times and how he gets through them, said Sarano Kelley, a California life coach for athletes and celebrities.
“We’re filming what Willie is going through like what the country is going through,” he said.
He is getting rid of his possessions as part of leaving his old life behind, the coach said.
Seriously I don't get the life coach thing, but whatever. What is up with all those dead stuffed animals he owned? Maybe she is right that he really needs to let that old life go.
Spike TV is bringing back Super Dave for four episodes this summer according to Variety and I can’t wait!!! Bob Einstein will put on his Super Dave jumpsuit once again and do stunts that just don’t work, but will make us laugh our a$$es off! I still get a chuckle watching him slowly suffer while no one on his staff will help him!!!
Hopefully Spike will extend the order past 4 because 4 is not enough!!!
’80s singer Rick Astley is Never Going To Give Up ways to stay relevant in the business because he told The Guardian that he is working on a movie musical called New York Cowboy.
New York Cowboy will tell the story of a small-town boy who moves to New York City in the 80s. It is not, in other words, an autobiography.
“My wife’s now a movie producer so I read a lot of scripts and I’m really passionate about films,” Astley said in a recent interview. “One day I thought, ‘Well, why don’t I write one?’ And it turned into a musical – but not for the stage.”
You know what I was saying about how I want Hollywood to be produce more original movie musicals, I changed my mind after reading that.
