DAVID HASSELHOFF’s estranged wife PAMELA BACH is reportedly hitting back at the former BAYWATCH star by recording an album about spousal abuse. The couple have been publicly lashing out at each other since Hasselhoff filed for divorce in January (06) – Bach cited physical abuse, while Hasselhoff made claims Pamela was abusing prescription drugs. Bach filed a declaration, claiming that in December (05) Hasselhoff "grabbed me and pushed me hard into a car", adding, "In the past, he has also broken my nose." And, according to British newspaper the Daily Express, Bach will detail the abuse she allegedly suffered during her 16-year marriage on upcoming album TRANSITIONS. Speaking on CNN’s AMERICAN MORNING last week (ends25JUN06), Hasselfhoff denied the allegations, saying, "The only person who broke my wife’s nose was a plastic surgeon."
In 1974, Dave Stewart formed a band called Platinum Weird in North London with his female songwriting partner, muse and soul mate, Erin Grace. The pair originally met a few months earlier and formed a creative and spiritual bond. Their debut gig
was at Mick Jagger’s birthday party where they quickly enjoyed a cult-like status performing at intimate gigs in London’s rock club circuit. Elton John’s Rocket label signed the band, putting down an advance to send them into studio and lay down tracks.
Erin’s behavior during the making of the album was unpredictable and eccentric. Prone to mood swings and emotional insecurity, she would often disappear for days, and then reappear as if nothing was unusual with a smile and couple of new songs. Perhaps because of her unconventional persona, men desired her and women emulated her. "She was wispy and elusive," Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks, once said. "I wasn’t quite sure what she was about, but I kind of copied her look."
With art work finalized and a release date penciled in, Erin vanished again, leaving Dave nothing but a demo of a song called ‘Will You Be Around’ and a closet of metal hangers where she used to keep her clothes. As suddenly as she had appeared in Dave’s life, she was gone. "In a strange way," reflects Mick Jagger, "I think Dave was the least surprised by what happened. Knowing her nature, I think he found it kind of appropriate."
The highly anticipated eponymous album of Platinum Weird was never released and its name disappeared from public consciousness as quickly as the elusive songstress herself. Dave went into a deep depression, a period he later referred to as his ‘lost years.’
"Flags of Our Fathers" thesp Adam Beach is joining the cast of "Law & Order: SVU." Beach, who had a guest turn as Brooklyn detective Chester Lake on an episode of the skein that aired Tuesday, is in final talks to become a series regular. He’s expected to return later this season. "SVU" creator Dick Wolf first worked with Beach on "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee," the HBO telepic Wolf produced. Beach has the lead role in the project, which is expected to debut in May and is already being considered one of the paybox’s key longform Emmy contenders.
Zach Braff had this to say about the episode on MySpace:
The Scrubs Musical:
I am not bullshitting you when I tell you this might be the best ½ hour of television you will see this year. I know it’s weird for me to say that, since I’m in it, but I am just one part of it. The music, the dancing, the comedy writing, the emotion and drama at the end.. it’s really good. Please watch TONIGHT: Thursday, January 18th at 9pm eastern/pacific. Call the neighbors, call your lover, put the dog on your lap, grab some chips, put the Jenga game on hold and enjoy.
(for those of you wondering if he will return to Scrubs next year, check out the rest of his blog entry)
I can’t believe I am so excited for an episode for a show I have never watched before, how weird is that?
Lastly The TV Addict has one more song preview on his site!
