The Buggles will forever be in music history because their song Video Killed the Radio Star was the first ever music video to be shown on MTV back in 1981. Well since that premiere the band has rarely played together live, but that is going to change next month! Trevor Horn announced on his web site that The 3 original members are reuniting for one live show on September 28th.
He did not say why that charity got them out of their band’s retirement, but it is sounds like an amazing nonprofit to get them all back together.
Hopefully one of those special guest stars will be Oscar winner Hans Zimmer who can be seen in the video Video Killed the Radio Star. One of my best friends has been trying to get me to go visit her in London and I might just do it to see The Buggles perform their debut album live because it doesn’t sound like we will ever have another chance to do it. Seriously how cool would it be to see the band that launched MTV perform live and in person!!!

Danica McKellar was promoting her book Hot X: Algebra Exposed and looks like her baby is ready for their exposure even though her due date is around a month away. Seriously how cute does Winnie Cooper look with her growing baby bump? And for you boys doesn’t she make math look sexy?
It was Heartbreak City when The Cars decided to say Bye, Bye Love and broke up in 1988, and now people are wondering if the four surviving member are reuniting or maybe working on their first album in 23 years. So You Might Think why is the speculation happening now? Well they decided to Shake It Up by posting a picture of them all together on their Facebook page with no comment or caption. I say Let’s Go and think they are getting ready to say Hello Again and let the Good Times Roll either on the road or in the studio after over 2 decades of being silent. I really think it would be Magic if they were getting ready to Drive again, because their song Hello Again is my ringtone. That and I love them! I just think is too bad Benjamin Orr isn’t around to Drive with them….:(
A week ago Kelsey Grammer’s wife Camille suddenly filed for divorce and the rumor mill is buzzing about why. The Frasier star wants to clear the air and set the record straight about some of the gossip, so he blogged his side of the story on Kelsey Live.
For those of you who have expressed your concern, I have had a very interesting week to say the least. I would like to start out by saying that both Camille and I have sworn to avoid any public forum as we go through what is bound to be a difficult process. However, when faced with malicious and unfounded rumors, I will defend myself. Some comments have surfaced about Father’s Day. I don’t know who is generating them but the truth is that I did call my kids that evening. Frankly, I was surprised that they did not call me in the morning but I was thousands of miles away and working that day so I didn’t give it a second thought. I had texted Camille that morning to wish her Dad a Happy Father’s Day. I hoped that might serve as a reminder. I love my kids and I miss them terribly. Camille and I had actually discussed bringing the kids out for that weekend but the family was scheduled to come out the following week for the month of July. I thought: why have them fly to NY twice in the same week? Anyway, after the matinee, I and two of my old buddies drove up-state to spend a little time in the mountains. We stopped for dinner and when we got to the house (which has no cell service, by the way), I called them to see how they were doing as I do almost every night at around the same time, 11PM my time–8PM their time, just before they go to bed. Apparently, Mason had been upset earlier that day because she was missing me. I spoke to her for some time and reassured her that I loved her and that I would be seeing her soon. I have spoken to her and her brother Jude every day since and had called them every day before; perhaps it was foolish of me to expect a call on Father’s Day, but frankly I did.
A rumor from the “bottom of the barrel set” has surfaced about me and a dirty blond at a restaurant in NYC. It was April and we were seen smooching at Five Napkin Burger. The dirty blond was my daughter Spencer, who was visiting that entire month. I do take issue with the characterization that we were smooching but surely if that were the case then even I admit it might be newsworthy in some fashion. Certainly, the time will come when I do see another woman. I expect Camille to see other men. I hope people and the press will understand that we are both free to carry on with our lives. I ask that everyone remain discreet for the sake of our children; I will certainly do so.
I love that the dirty blond was his daughter Spencer, I guess whoever started the rumor isn’t a Greek fan.
Now back to his blog, Kelsey then went on to go that Camille and him were talking about separation for a while, but then she decided to file for divorce.

The Easy Lover singers Phil Collins and Philip Bailey were reunited at the 41st Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame where the former-Genesis singer was being honored. Don’t the two 59 year old Phil(ips) look great. They look as good as they did when they sang that song for the first time 26 years ago.
BTW ever since I saw Collins with his one time duet partner, I have had their 1984 hit Easy Lover stuck in my head. I don’t care what anyone says, 1984 was a good year for music!!!
