Dave Grohl Set For ‘Sound City’ Sundance Gig

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl will be among the group of first-time filmmakers at this year’s Sundance Film Festival , but he will likely be the only one to also play an anticipated gig at the annually anticipated event which opens January 17th. [ Related: ‘Sound City’ Trailer Offers Glimpse Of Dave Grohl’s Love Letter To Rock ‘N’ Roll’s Pre-Digital Era and Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl Gets Personal With ‘Sound City’ ] Grohl’s Sound City Players will play January 18th at the festival, featuring “core musicians and special guests” from the musician’s doc Sound City . The feature, which will screen in Sundance’s Documentary Premieres section, is the brainchild of Grohl who conceived the story after purchasing a custom-built 8028 recording console from Sound City Studios last year. The board was built in 1972 and considered to be a “crown jewel of analog recording equipment,” having recorded such artists as Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Cheap Trick, Guns and Roses, Fear, Grohl’s former band, Nirvana as well as Rage Against the Machine, Slipknot, Nine Inch Nails, Metallica and others. The film Sound City showcases the most talented group of musicians in the world and we are thrilled they chose to celebrate the documentary at Park City Live,” said Kathryn Burns, CEO of Park City Live where the concert will take place via a statement. “The evening will be spectacular and we look forward to seeing who will join Dave Grohl and the Sound City Players onstage.” The venue is not a regular Sundance space, but will be one of many ancillary events that take place around the festival. The film’s soundtrack, Sound City — Real to Reel , is a collection of original music created specifically for the film and this companion record. Preceded by currently available first single “Cut Me Some Slack”–performed by Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear. Grohl’s personal connection to Sound City began with the 1991 recording of Nirvana’s breakthrough album, “Nevermind”. Selling over 30 million copies worldwide.

Fair Or Foul? San Francisco High School Student Suspended For Writing Poem About Newtown Shooting, “I Know Why He Pulled The Trigger”

Does anyone respect freedom of speech anymore? San Francisco High School Student Suspended For Newtown Shooting Poem Via Examiner On Dec. 30 the “Today Show” reported the story about San Francisco high school senior Courtni Webb. Webb, 17, is facing “possible expulsion” for writing a poem about the Newton, Conn., Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Courtni wasn’t trying to be dark and depressed in her poem, but she didn’t write memorials to the victims either. Instead, Courtni wrote a poem about Adam Lanza and what she saw regarding his drive to a mass murder in a children’s classroom. She didn’t write about flowers and rainbows. She wrote, “They want to hold me back……I understand the killings in Connecticut. I know why he pulled the trigger…. society won’t take the blame. We’re full of a society of haters and blamers” What some might see as a child’s way of speaking out and dealing with such a tragedy, others are seeing as part of a zero tolerance approach to violence within Courtni Webb’s San Francisco high school. Webb didn’t turn the poem in as her assignment; it was something she had written for herself. However, the teacher discovered it in her personal notebook and turned it over to the principal. Webb’s mother thinks the school district is overreacting. For now, she is suspended until further notice. Courtni, who writes “all types” of poetry to express herself, told “Today” that she was just trying to express “her belief that tragedies in Sandy Hook happen because people feel helpless.” Peep the video of Courtni reading her poem below. How do you feel about Courtni’s writing? Was she wrong for writing such a poem? Was the teacher wrong for reporting her to the principal?? Image via YouTube

Chad Johnson to FBI: Find Sex Tape Leak!

Looks like the leak of the Chad Johnson sex tape was not Ocho’s doing. Either that, or he’s going to great, devious lengths to cover his tracks, because the former NFL star is turning to the FBI for help, according to a TMZ report. The footage, which found its way online Christmas Day (nice stocking stuffer), shows Eight-Five in a Florida hotel room, putting it to an unknown female. Chad Johnson, who says the sex tape was filmed 3-4 years ago, is reportedly furious, and believes the video was mysteriously hacked from his phone. You know. Kinda like Mila Kunis and Scarlett Johansson nude photo style. Given the propensity of celebrities to take sexy pictures and videos on their personal electronic devices – and hackers’ aptitude at infiltrating them – it’s certainly possible. It’s also unclear why Chad would leak a video of himself deep inside some tattooed chick while he’s trying to win back his wife – who left him for cheating. The tape is reportedly not news to her, but leaking it wouldn’t help his cause. Like Scarlett, he’s contacted the FBI to help find the hacker … marking the first ever use of Scarlett Johansson and Chad Johnson in the same article. While awaiting a response from the feds , he’s also contacted his lawyer to put together a cease-and-desist letter to get the footage yanked from the web. Chad admitted on Twitter that the tape is real but says he didn’t leak it. His ex-wife Evelyn Lozada also denied a report that his Johnson was inside her friend. No one knows who the lucky girl is, but it’s no pal of Ev’s.

Rihanna’s In a Bikini in Barbados of the Day

Rihanna is in Barbados for the holidays – even though everyone I know in Barbados kinda hate her….as she’s treated like their little princess…and she acts like a little princess…treating the locals like her staff…even the people she went to school with….because that’s just the kind of cunt she is…. Seriously, people I know in Barbados tell me that she probably deserved to get beat, if she even got beat, and didn’t beat herself and blame Chris Brown cuz the cops always believe the woman….which would explain why they were recently back together…only to break up again… But another explanation of that is publicity…it’s good for fucking business…and who cares about that shit, they are both spoiled and set of life and their personal lives, unless on video getting fucked shouldn’t fucking care about these brats…. But I think it’s perfectly reasonable to care about her in a bikini….at home…living the good life..cuz i fucking love bikinis… Here’s the video…. TO SEE THE REST OF THE PICS FOLLOW THIS LINK

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap: Who’s the Mean Girl Now?

The Real Housewives of Beverly HIlls brought back “Oy, Faye” to do Kyle’s dirty work. We recap all the bullying and back stabbing in our THG +/- review… We revisit Paul and Adrienne’s tirade at Mauricio’s event and Kyle’s very upset about Brandi throwing out the F-word.  Hmm…apparently Paul screaming and calling Brandi a b*tch multiple times is OK though because in Kyle’s opinion he’s just defending his wife.  Minus 12 for the double standard. Taylor’s practically hyperventilating. That type of violent behavior from a man towards a woman hits all of her buttons but Kyle’s got little sympathy for the former abuse victim.  According to Kyle, “This is not about you, Taylor. Moving on.”  Minus 15 . Taylor takes her moment to make a dig about the tendency these women have for exploiting personal issues to the public. She’s still ticked off at Camille for revealing her husband’s abuse on camera.   Camille insists this is completely different but minus 20 because how the heck are we suppose to know if no one will let the viewers in on Adrienne’s big secret? Finally Kyle gets around to telling off her sister.  Plus 10 . Kim definitely could have picked a more private moment to break the bad news…whatever it may be. Kim insists she was just being a good friend…but she fails to realize she was being a lousy sister. But Kim does bring up a good point.  This entire mess started because Kyle pushed Brandi for answers about her rift with Adrienne.  Minus 9 . She got her answers. Be careful what you wish for. Yolanda manages to stay out of the fray. She’s off with her personal trainer and now I see how she keeps her model figure. Plus 18.   Not to mention that her trainer is 57 and looks 37.  Talk about a testament to the power of exercise. Kim takes her son Chad who is turning 21 to Vegas for his birthday. Before going she checks out the AA meetings there. Plus 25. That’s a positive step for being prepared for the inherent challenges of a party town like Las Vegas and shows that Kim’s taking responsibility for her sobriety. She also blew off her sister who didn’t get an invite to the party.  I suppose Kim just didn’t need one more stressor and right now that’s what Kyle is for her. Luckily for Kim, she’s out of town when Kyle manages to throw yet another dinner party from Hell. Kyle considers disinviting Brandi but decides that would be rude.  Minus 20 because apparently letting one guest bully another isn’t. So once again we get to spend an evening with Faye.  Why?   The woman is a loud mouth bully. She’s also a good friend of Adrienne so anyone with half a brain can see where this is headed.   Brandi admits she would have backed out of the party if Kyle had wanted her to.  Plus 10. I’m sure she wishes she had. Instead Kyle encouraged her to come so she could deal with Faye.  Brandi tries to side step the issue but Faye’s not about to let it go.   Then Faye and Kyle insist that Brandi needs to send Adrienne flowers and an apology.  Minus 13 . Seriously, does anyone think a bouquet of flowers is going to fix this?  Everyone at the table is completely uncomfortable except for Faye who is in her glory. if Kyle wasn’t the biggest trouble maker of the group she’d tell her guest that this was no longer a topic of discussion and move things along.  Minus 22.   She’s not about to do that because she loves the drama as much as anyone no matter what she says. When Marisa tries to point out that this is a private matter between Adrienne and Brandi, Faye will have none of it.  Not only won’t she let Marisa have a part of the conversation, she continues to harass Brandi until she leaves. Minus 25. With all of their talk about mean girls, Kyle and Faye only need to look in a mirror to find them. Episode total =  -73!              Season total = -171!

Lindsay Lohan storage locker

TMZ reports that Lohan#39;s storage unit may be up for auction this month because she owes $16,000 to the storage company.

Britney Spears’ Earnings: Tops Among Women in Music!

Britney Spears’ earnings edged Taylor Swift’s to make her the top-earning woman in music over the past year by a whisker – and not strictly due to album sales. Records, her X Factor gig, endorsements and a perfume line netted Britney Spears $58 million last year; Taylor was a close second with an estimated $57 million. A contract with CoverGirl cosmetics, her own line of fragrances, countless hit songs and massive celebrity gossip attention made 2012 Swift’s year. Rihanna earned an estimated $53 million to put her at No. 3, two spots up from last year, followed by Lady Gaga, who fell from No. 1 in 2011 with $52 million. Katy Perry, the only musician other than Michael Jackson to produce five No. 1 hit singles from one album, rounded out the top five with about $45 million. All impressive and younger, but none could top Britney Spears at the bank. Spears, who was No. 10 last year, earned most of her money from her latest album Femme Fatale and her recent tour, plus a $15 million X Factor payday. You can read the full list of high-earners compiled by Forbes . Despite huge incomes, only eight of the top women were among the 25 best-paid musicians, attributed in part to career breaks to have children.
