The Red Hot Chili Peppers are calling for German authorities to stop the extradition of Sea Shepherd Captain Paul Watson to Costa Rica.
According to the RHCP, “for 31 years Captain Paul Watson has been at the helm of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and a leader in the fight for a clean environment and marine conservation.
The arrest of Captain Watson in Germany we believe is in part due to the fact that he uncovered an illegal shark finning operations in Costa Rica.

Terminator 3 actor Nick Stahl was reported missing by his wife Rose Murphy Stahl 5 days ago, and while he’s still MIA, TMZ is reporting that Nick Stahl emailed his friends yesterday, saying he was going to enter treatment and would be out of contact for 30 days.
Friends and family “hope he’s telling the truth… but they are skeptical.”
Sources tell TMZthat Stahl’s wife wasn’t listed on the email, and a rep for the LAPD says the email doesn’t change the fact that Stahl is listed as a missing persons. The case will remain open for now, as an email isn’t quite enough for them to close the file on it.
Here’s hoping the actor is alive and well and follows through on his plans to enter rehab.
David Bowie is set to release the 40th Anniversary Remaster of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars on June 5th! Oh Happy Day!
Originally released through RCA Victor on June 6, 1972, Ziggy Stardust was Davide Bowie’s fifth album, co-produced by Bowie and Ken Scott. Incredibly, the album was written while Bowie was recording 1971′s Huncy Dory album, with recording beginning a couple of months before the album’s release.
Recorded at Trident Studio in London between November 1971 and February 1972 with the line up of Mick Ronson (guitar, piano, backing vocals, string arrangements), Trevoer Bolder (bass), Mick Woodmansey (drums), Rick Wakeman (keyboards) and backing vocals on ‘It Ain’t Easy’ by Dana Gillespie. As well as performing vocals, Bowie also played acoustic guitar, saxophone and harpsichord on the album and was involved in the arrangements as well.
The album eventually peaked at #5 on the UK Album Chart on July 22nd, having entered the chart at #15. Key to the album’s rise in the UK were the two TV performances of “Starman” on Granada TV’s Lift Off WIth Ayshea and nationally on the BBC’s Top Of The Pops. The album’s influence is immeasurable- converting legions of fans, becoming the zeitgeist and a major influence on the net generation, particularly those who were involved in the punk movement and the subsequent re-birth of rock and pop.
Famously Bowie killed Ziggy at his peak at London’s Hammersmith Odeon, on July 3rd, 1973, though Ziggy Stardust’s influence was to redefine pop culture forever…
This 40th anniversary edition has been remastered by original Trident Studios engineer Ray Staff (at Lond’ns Air Studios), and will be available on CD and a special, limited edition format of vinyl featuring the new 2012 remaster with a 5.1 mix and high resolution audio on DVD= the DVD features previously unreleased 5.1 and stereo bonus 2003 Ken Scott mixes of Moonage Daydream (instrumental), The Supermen, Velvet Goldmine and Sweet Head.

Rising pop singer Duncan recently unveiled his new acoustic cover of Train’s hit song “Drive By,” and since y’all know I’m a sucker for acoustic renditions of songs, you who
Y’all should know by now that I’m a huge fan of an acoustic version of a song. As a matter of disclosure, I’m also a sucker for a song highlighting piano or a violin. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that I’m currently digging rising pop singer Duncan’s new acoustic cover of Train’s hit song “Drive By.”
The cover also features Youtube sensation Jon D, and the video, which is racking up thousands of views, follows up Duncan’s “Free Music Friday” covers of Justin Bieber, David Guetta, and Usher.
Duncan also recently debuted the official video for his single, “Light Up The Sky,” (now available on iTunes), which served as the NCAA Men’s Basketball theme song and will appear on his upcoming debut album on A&M/Octone.

Dealing with rumors about shacking up in NYC with alleged girlfriend and former America’s Next Top Model contestant AzMarie Livingston, Raven-Symone has finally spoken out, though not directly confirming the rumors.
Raven tweeted Friday:
“I’m living my PERSONAL life the way I’m happiest. I’m not one, in my 25 year career to disclose who I’m dating. and I shall not start now. My sexual orientation is mine, and the person I’m dating to know. I’m not one for a public display of my life.
However that is my right as a HUMAN BEING whether straight or gay. To tell or not to tell. As long as I’m not harming anyone. I am a light being made from love. And my career is the only thing I would like to put on display, not my personal life. Kisses!”
I’m not surprised Raven didn’t confirm or deny the rumors. She has always been secretive about her personal life, and she’s not going to give the public. Not sure if I fully believe the rumors, but hey, if she’s straight or gay, doesn’t matter to me. I agree with Raven that the focus should be on her talent, not who she’s dating. If she and AzMarie are together, good for them!

You don’t try to man-kiss a member of the Men In Black.
At the Moscow premiere of Men in Black 3, a reporter showed Will a little TOO MUCH love and tried to kiss him on the lips. Mr. Smith was not having it and lightly backhanded the overzealous Ukrainian reporter in the face. It was only a split second of anger, then in true movie star fashion Will went on to the next outlet and was his nice guy self again.

Just call him the true Last King of Scotland.
Scottish born movie legend, Sean Connery just made his first public appearance in nearly two years.
The 81-year-old original James Bond has kept a low profile since 2010, which fueled worries about his health. Judging from these pics, I can see why. Gone is the rugged man who we loved to watch on screen. Here he looks old and weak.
As a long time fan of his and of his portrayal of 007, I hope he is doing well. This is the 50th anniversary of the James Bond movie franchise, so Connery might be making more appearances this year.
Sir Sean, who lives in the Bahamas, was in New York to launch Ever to Excel, a film about the 600-year history of St Andrews University which he narrates. Stock exchange bosses invited him and St Andrews principal Professor Louise Richardson, to ring the bell in recognition of the university’s landmark anniversary.
Rihanna is a sexy superstar, who makes questionable decisions in her love life.
J.R. Smith is a talented basketball player for the New York Knicks, who sometimes makes questionable decisions on and off the court.
This sounds like a match made in celeb heaven.
According to In Touch, 24-year-old singer and the 26-year-old ball player were recently spotted canoodling with each other in front of everyone at Veranda nightclub in New York City. “They were very flirty in the club all night and holding hands,” an eyewitness told the magazine. “She was sitting on his lap and was really into him.”
The source went on to point out that the bad boy basketball star definitely fits Rihanna’s dating “type.” “He is the team’s most controversial player, so it’s no wonder that Rihanna likes him,” the source said.
Eye roll.
John Travolta just so happened to release a loving, heartwarming video in tribute to his wife and mother of his children Kelly Preston. The video, released for Mother’s Day, was posted on Travolta’s official website titled “A mother’s day gift for Kelly” and John even introduced the video with the following: “My wife was so happy with my Mother’s Day video to her, we wanted to share it with you.”
“Johnny” set the vid to Barbra Streisand’s “That Face” and it begins with the Grease star telling his wife “From me, to you.”
There were tons of private family photos that were shared including wedding photos, images of their three kids Jett (who passed away in 2009), Ella Bleu (12) and baby Benjamin Hunter Kaleo (18 months).
Even though John has been accused by many men (and still some are yet to come out) for wanting their weens, it seems as if Johnny is looking to do a little distraction PR.
But is it enough of a distraction? Probably not. At any rate, check out the video below.
