Courtney Love Replacing Abdul?

And, if reports are to be believed, this could be Paula Abdul's final American Idol. It has been suggested that the American Idol team is looking out for a new full-time female judge who'd be able to hold herself together and give a range of well-meaning constructive advice. Thing is, though, the same reports say that Paula Abdul's American Idol replacement will be Courtney Love - a woman who we imagine has spent the last year or so crawling around the floor inflating her face to ghastly proportions with a bicycle pump and muttering swearwords to herself with her vagina hanging out. Fair's fair, though - that'd be a pretty solid swap for Paula Abdul [at least they found someone with the same amount of talent as a replacement so the contestants can take her just as seriously as they did Paula. But maybe Love will some original opinions instead of being a parrot of Randy. But at this point this is just a rumor and probably total BS because as bad as Idol producers are they are not smoking crack, but see the full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

KISS Surgery

"Well another NAMM Convention has come and gone yet again. It was great to see familiar faces and old friends again. It seemed like it was only a few months ago since the previous NAMM. What happens to time ? I guess it is like a drummer always speeding up. Anyway, I saw a lot of kool new drums and stuff over at Pearl and Zildjian and stopped by Universal Percussion to say hey to the Attack drumhead guys too. In case people wondered what happened dept: I was scheduled to jam at the Dimebag Darrell Tribute show on Saturday at The Hilton with Lemmy (MOTÖRHEAD) and Keri Kelly (ALICE COOPER) but was unable to play drums for awhile due to minor surgery a few weeks ago. I am on the road to a speedy recovery and should be back hitting things very soon![see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
