Cisco Adler Wanted Free Booze.

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

Rocker Cisco Adler arrested in bar brawl in North Dakota

Cisco Adler thinks he’s the cat’s meow. Just because he dated Mischa Barton when she was on the O.C. and kind of cool doesn’t make him cool now, especially now that Mischa isn’t cool anymore.

Last week, Cisco got himself into a little trouble while on a tour stop in Fargo, North Dakota. We knew there was a little booze involved, but now we’ve got the deets via E!.

Cisco Adler’s looks could only take him so far. The unkempt Whitestarr frontman managed to find his way into the hearts of Hollywood hotties Mischa Barton, Kimberly Stewart and Paris Hilton, but now he’s made it into the clink.

Following a show with Schwayze Wednesday at the Hub in Fargo, N.D., Adler was arrested for simple assault after punching a man during an argument that began over an unpaid tab, Fargo Police Department spokesman Sgt. Jeff Skuza told E! News. “The band was playing and then they wouldn’t pay their tab,” Skuza said. “There was a disagreement about that and as [Adler] was being escorted out, he punched one of the security personnel,” said Skuza. “He was part of a large group that was fighting.”

According to dispatch logs, authorities were called around 12:30 a.m. with reports of a brawl involving up to 15 people, including venue security and management. Adler was taken into custody and released an hour later after posting $500 bail.

But although he might not be welcome at the Hub again anytime soon, his partner in rhyme, Shwayze, had his back. “A fight broke out between tour staff and 10 bouncers, Cisco appropriately defended himself, and will be performing in tonight’s soldout show,” Shwayze’s rep, David Patton, told E! News.

I love how Mr. Patton had to add in “soldout show”…that does not make any of this right. Booze + big ego=bad news!

Moral Of the Story: Being a Z-list celebrity with big balls doesn’t mean you don’t have to pay your bar tab.

Backstreet’s Back, Alright?!

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

bsb

I don’t care what anyone has to say…Backstreet’s back and better than ever. Sorry it’s been like THREE days since the concert and I hadn’t posted anything…but geez. I’ve been sinking it all in. My boys. *sigh* Older…wiser…funnier…and definitely more relaxed.

I was lucky enough to attend the Minnesota State Fair (where everything is on a stick) on Saturday to indulge in BSB heaven on a stick. Ok, not on a stick, but on stage AND within arm’s reach of my seat in the first row. Rewind back to when I was 15 and this would have been a moment of pure bliss…a marriage to the bad boy (AJ) would have been inevitable because he’d want to marry ME—–DUH!

The Boys did a mixture of tunes from their older, more popular days mixing it up with songs and dance from their latest album “Unbreakable”.

The set list went like this:

* Larger than Life
* Everyone
* Any Other Way
* You Can Let Go
* Unmistakable
* I Want It That Way
* She’s Like The Sun (Howie solo)
* Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely
* More Than That
* Helpless When She Smiles
* Trouble Is
* Incomplete
* Drive By Love (AJ solo)
* Nick’s drum solo
* Panic
* Everything But Mine
* I Got You / Blow Your Mind (Nick solo)
* Quit Playing Games With My Heart
* As Long As Love Me
* All I Have To Give
* I’ll Never Break Your Heart
* Inconsolable
* Welcome Home (Brian solo)
* The One
* Treat Me Right
* The Call
* Everybody

Encore: * Shape of My Heart

Each of the Boys had their own solo time and whether you want to believe me or not…they were fabulous. Howie laid on the cheese with his latino smoozing and bon bon shaking while Nick and AJ brought on the high energy performances and the hip gyrations. (My boy AJ will be releasing his solo debut (FINALLY) tentatively in October of this year. HOLLA!) And, Brian performed his positive hit “Welcome Home” from his earlier released and highly successful album “Welcome Home”.

My biggest fear was that this would be the end of a successful run for these boys I essentially grew up with. When Kevin left, I honestly felt it was just a matter of time before they each went their separate ways. However, they reassured their fans that they AREN’T going anywhere. And that…makes me fabulously happy.

Jennifer Aniston, The Groupie.

You know things are getting serious. Jennifer is no longer hiding her love for John Mayer. Jennifer Aniston showed up to boyfriend John Mayer’s concert at Hyde Park in London with camera in tow.

That’s right just call her Jenna-razzi. Jennifer snapped some photos of her honey performing onstage with a serious vengeance. Snap, snap, snap. It almost looked like she was a bit uncomfortable making her John Mayer concert debut.

Perhaps John’s constipation facial expressions freaked her out a tad! Check out John’s “constipation” face, as well as a few other interesting expressions, after the jump!

J.Lo, Skeletor And The $6 Million Babies.

Jennifer Lopez and her skinny minny hubby Marc Anthony arrived in Belgium today with their twins Emme and Max in tow. The four-some arrived on a private jet and are in Belgium for a concert…Marc’s concert, that is.  J.Lo and the kiddies are simply along for the ride.

Performance-wise, it is kind of refreshing that Marc isn’t quite like his wife when it comes to a “must-have” diva list. He does have only ONE request. Toys for his kids. Awww. What a sweet, sweet, man. You mean they didn’t hire the Wiggles for private entertainment purposes for those little pipsqueaks?

I suppose…they are still a tad young. They are still in the eat, sleep, and poop stages at four months of age.

Are Ashlee Simpson Fans Bitter?

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

Ashlee and Pete Wentz attended the grand opening of Palms Place Hotel & Spa in Vegas.

Smashlee Simpson fans around the world, break out the tissue. It has been a whirlwind for you fans, for that I am sure with the wedding news and then, bam…pregnancy news. It’s certainly a lot to take in. Now I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the lip-synching superstar has decided to cancel all tour dates for the summer.

Oh well. Get your money back and spend it on a Blizzard from Dairy Queen or something. I know I am not being very sympathetic here…but, hey there is a bright side…Smashlee does plan on coming back to tour AFTER the baby arrives.

Miss Janet Jackson is ready to take to the road to promote her latest album “Discipline”. The tour titled “Rock Witchu” kicks off September 10 in Vancouver, BC. For more tour dates, check out this link.

This could be worth seeing, especially if she performs some oldies.  Seeing “Rhythm Nation” live would totally rock my life.

Step By Step, Ooo Baby!

I wish I hadn’t gotten rid of all the videos…the NKOTB pins I wore on my acid-washed jeans just below the belt line…the posters of Joey Joe McIntyre that I kissed every night before I went to bed. Those items are CLASSIC. Oh, the memories. Gawd, I feel like a pubescent teen again.

New Kids On The Block may be nearing their geriatric days, but they are back in full performance mode as they took to the (TODAY SHOW) stage for the first time in 15 years.

Bringin’ In the Benjamins For Hil.

Sir Elton John is helping Hillary Clinton make some g’s tonight! Radio City Hall in NYC is going to be a packed house as Elton John is set to perform on behalf of Hillary Clinton.   And if you are looking to get in, you are way too late my friends. This is a sold out event and will reportedly draw in 6,000 people and $2.5 million dollars!  That’s some quick ching, not even Heidi Fleiss could pull in.

Elton voluntarily stepped into the limelight to raise these funds for Hillary. The multi-millionaire singer-songwriter said in a statement: “I’m not a politician but I believe in the work that Hillary Clinton does.”

Not sure I could handle sitting through another “Candle In the Wind” performance.
