Posted on December 13, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Paul McCartney helped stage a Nirvana reunion last night in NYC. During the 12-12-12 concert to benefit Hurricane Sandy relief efforts in the region, McCartney recalled how “recently some guys asked me to jam with them.” Those guys turned out to be Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic. “The penny finally dropped that I was in the middle of a Nirvana reunion” he said before Nirvana’s first-ever live performance of “Cut Me Some Slack” with Paul on vocals. Watch their performance below! Nirvana Reunion-Paul McCartney 12/12/12 Performance Courtney Love, of course, was not a fan of McCartney standing in for Kurt Cobain … although she said, “if it were John [Lennon] it would have been cool.” Come on. It’s still kind of cool.

Bruce Springsteen Performs at 12-12-12 Concert, Makes Plea For Sandy Relief

New Jersey’s #1 ambassador (with apologies to Chris Christie , who would probably agree with us), Bruce Springsteen, rocked the 12-12-12 Concert for Sandy Relief last night. The Boss kicked off the four-and-a-half-hour-plus show – which also featured a Nirvana reunion – with “Land of Hope and Dreams,” “Wrecking Ball” and “City of Ruins.” Bruce Springsteen 12-12-12 Concert Performance “For 25 years, if you go to Asbury [Park] in the summer, and there was no one on its beaches, no one on its boardwalk,” Springsteen said in introducing “City of Ruins.” “Then, over the past decade, thanks to an arts community, thanks to the gay community, thanks to people who lived there and toughed it out, the town has had a renaissance.” “The Jersey Shore’s always been a special place. It’s been inclusive.” “I’m sure there will be a lot of difficult conversations when the rebuilding comes around, but I pray that that characteristic remains along the Jersey Shore.” Springsteen then brought out Jon Bon Jovi, another of the Garden State’s homegrown heroes, to jam with the E Street Band on his 1975 classic, “Born to Run.” Pretty much as cool as it gets.

Kobe Bryant: Desperate to Reconcile With Vanessa?

Posted on December 24, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

L.A. Lakers star Kobe Bryant is desperate to reconcile with estranged wife Vanessa Bryant, sources say. Whether she gives him the time of day or not is another story. Vanessa filed for divorce from Kobe last weekend, but people close to the family say his two daughters, ages 8 and 5, are playing a major role in his bid to reconcile. Kobe is said to be “deeply depressed” over the situation and is very concerned about how his little girls will handle growing up in two separate households. Sounds nice and all, but Vanessa Bryant decided to pull the plug on the union after catching the NBA star in an extramarital affair, and it wasn’t the first time. Some have accused Vanessa of being a gold-digger , but they were married for 10 years – before Kobe was obscenely rich – and she stood by him in 2003. That was when he was accused of raping a girl he cheated with. They toughed it out through that, but his current affair was apparently the last straw. Bryant’s family was unaware of Kobe’s efforts but they hope he and Vanessa can find a way to get along in the future if only for the sake of the kids.
