Rock Star: Supernova’s Brooke Burke and General Hospital’s Kelly Monaco are two of the beauties who will be on hand for a Tuesday mock-protest rally on behalf of NoScruf.org, an "organization" (read: Gillette promotional concept) out to stop the trend of scruffy-faced fellas. The fight-the-fuzz gathering will be held at 12:30 pm/ET in New York City’s Greeley Square, but be forewarned — out of protest, the gals are said to be growing out their own assorted follicles.

Rock Star: Superblah |
July 7th, 2006 under Rock Star: Supernova. [ Comments: none ]

Sorry, this review is last but like most network TV watchers I was wacthing SYTYCD and America’s Got Talent.
After a year of my friends praising Rock Star, I finally decided to give in and watch Rock Star: Supernova. All I can say I am an American Idol girl! It is not that talent is better because they are not. It is the judges! Dude they are rockers, they have more tattoos combined than your average HS, but they were so freaking nice. Everyone rocked! Woo Hoo! Brandy was harsher to contestants on AGT than Tommy Lee was to anyone. I mean The Hoff was funnier than that Metallica (Napster good, Metallica bad) guy getting on his knee and proposing to that amazing Russian singer. Even SYTYCD was more critical of it’s dancers than these so called rockers were to the singers.
Again I am not saying the singers are not good on this show, I am saying the judges need to be the rockers that are and say something bad. A big reason people watch American Idol is not only for the talent but to see what Simon Cowell has to say. So I will give it one more chance, but if these judges remain as nice as Paula Abdul I will erase it from my tivo.

Tommy Lee Jeans |

Want to get in Tommy Lee’s pants? The rocker is happy to oblige. Lee’s starting a fashion line, which he’s calling PL for TL (People’s Liberation for Tommy Lee) inspired by his extensive ink collection.
The limited PL for TL line will mostly consist of jeans, T-shirts and hats for men and women, with imagery from the rocker’s many tattoos reflected throughout the graphics and detailing. The jeans, which come in skinny, straight-leg, super-low, and boot-cut styles, feature back-pocket images that include a skull wearing a top hat, a dragon, a lotus flower and a koi fish as well as Lee’s signature. Those graphics are repeated on the T-shirts and hats, which will be military-cap style — no trucker hats, the design team said, because Lee thought they were "over."
The jeans, which have a little bit of stretch for a sleek fit, come in washes that vary from dirty-looking to clean and are named after songs — or words that reflect Lee’s music, such as Dirty, Madness, Crinkle, Sister Mary and Good Times. T-shirt colors follow suit, with Mayhem meaning olive, Good Times standing in for red and Madness doubling as black.
"When one purchases a piece from the line, they’re also buying a piece of the rock-and-roll lifestyle," said People’s Liberation CEO Danny Guez, who previously partnered with Justin Timberlake for his William Rast clothing line
Hooded sweatshirts are being added to the PL for TL line as well, and while production of the added items hasn’t started yet, the sweatshirts should be ready by the time Lee’s clothing launches at Bloomingdale’s stores nationwide in September. The department-store chain anticipates a "sell-out success," according to buyer Pearl Woodring. Specialty boutiques will also carry the line.

Aerosmith/Motley Crue: All Evil Tour |

US rock legends AEROSMITH and MOTLEY CRUE are teaming up for their first ever joint tour. The two supergroups have announced plans for a 27-city US tour which will begin in September (06) – and they’re dubbing the trek the All Evil Tour. The rockers are planning to make the arena shows as intimate as possible by erecting a 70-foot-long (21 metre) ramp that will extend from the stage into the middle of the arena.

Just hope it does not end like it did with Bon Jovi and Motley Crue!
