Former Blink 182 leader Tom Delonge has lashed out at his former band’s sound. The band went on “indefinite hiatus” last year after 11 years together, though bandmember Mark Hoppus has since said the band split over Delonge’s indecision on whether he wanted to tour or not. However in a live video posted on Youtube Delonge declared: “I do not want to be in a bullshit pop band with some bullshit pop songs while you drive your fucking bullshit car and sing along to it like you’re some 14 year-old girl.” Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker have since gone on to form (+44) together, while DeLonge set up new band Angels And Airwaves.

I am so boycotting anything he ever does from this day on. Blink 182 is one of the best bands ever and to see him sh!t all over it, it is sad. In a few years when A&A is no where to be heard, he will be begging to get back in to Blink 182. I hope they tell his tattooed ass…no way loser!
Rapper Heavy D has sued his former insurance company for $1.5 million he says it owes him after the fatal stampede at a 1991 City College celebrity basketball event. The rapper, whose real name is Dwight Myers, had helped organize the event, and has since paid out $791,899 to settle lawsuits, court papers say. He’s suing for that, plus interest and legal fees, claiming that his $1 million insurance policy should have indemnified him.

Gallo laughs off underage love Click to enlarge photo Actor/director Vincent Gallo has laughed off reports he’s dating an underage girl insisting it’s his "humanitarian duty" to befriend the sexy teen. The Brown Bunny star, 45, has been romantically linked to Los Angeles socialite Cory Kennedy, with the 16-year-old boasting of their close relationship on her internet blog. In it she hails Gallo as a "keeper" and posts photos of the pair together. However, the actor insists their relationship isn’t sexual and jokes he’s merely following new mum Madonna’s example by looking after the teen. He tells PageSix.com, "With the psychotic, middle-aged Madonna out there on the loose buying up all the stolen Negro babies in Africa, I felt it my social and humanitarian duty to take in any young, beautiful and sexy orphaned Jew teens running wild in Beverly Hills. "Cory’s a great kid, and I’m proud to be her daddy."
