Axl Rose says no to Rock Hall of Fame! Yowsah!!!

Rose's open letter is printed in its entirety below.
To: The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Guns N' Roses Fans and Whom It May Concern;

"That said, I won't be attending The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction 2012 Ceremony and I respectfully decline my induction as a member of Guns N' Roses to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame."

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2012/04/axl-rose-pens-open-letter-to-rock-hall-will-not-attend-asks-to-not-be-inducted.html

How do you feel about this? My favorite "That Metal Show" host Eddie Trunk said it best:  "Don't get all these people saying Axl denying Hall induction is a snub to his fans? You need a clueless club to tell you Guns is iconic??"

Married to Rock on E!

"Not content to let Bravo run wild with its vast empire of Real Housewives, E! will air a docu-series about women who are in relationships with rock stars. “Married to Rock” will star Susan Holmes McKagan (wife of former Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff), Etty Farrell (wife of Perry Farrell), Josie Stevens (wife of Billy Idol’s guitarist), and AJ Celi (girlfriend of Billy Duffy, guitarist for The Cult)."

"“So many women have a fantasy about landing a rock star,” said Lisa Berger, executive vp programming at E! “We’re raising the curtain on the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle and showing there’s more to it than the late-night partying, ravaged hotel rooms and jet-set life we’ve all read about. But, of course, there’s all of that too.”"
"The season kicks off with Etty Farrell working on organizing the latest incarnation of Lollapalooza while weighing in on Josie Stevens’ decision to re-tie the knot at the Hollywood Castle. Meanwhile, Celi, a VIP director at a Hollywood nightclub, pressures Duffy to walk down the aisle. And supermodel Susan Holmes McKagan struggles to get a new collection in her swimwear line ready for launch."

Hottest New Hair Color Trend: "Bronde"

"‘Bronde’ hair color (or a mix of brown and blonde) is all the rage this season. Stars like Gossip Girl Blake Lively, Jennifer Aniston and Gisele Bundchen are all sporting this stylish hue. It has gained popularity not only because it’s a low maintenance version of blonde and an upgraded version of brown, but because it’s less expensive to maintain as well. In times like this, we are all trying to pinch pennies where we can, and although we don’t always want to give up spending money on our beauty rituals, sometimes cutting back can help." - Steph Geezy

Is Taylor Swift Kanye's therapist?

Good article on NPR.org about Taylor's performance.

http://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2010/09/13/129825153/taylor-swift-is-sure-kanye-west-can-get-to-heaven-despite-interrupting-her


"Ultimately, Swift and West demonstrated that while they may have come off as adversaries last year, they have a great deal in common. Primarily, they both suffer from a bizarre disorder where what is supposedly intended as a gesture of generosity toward someone else inevitably spins out into a celebration of self. For him, this meant complaining about the pain of being a guy who can't stop acting like a jerk, and for her, it meant blowing up a moment of probably intoxicated rudeness into a major moral failing, just so that she could dramatically offer absolution."

LC returning to TV!

"The only way I'd return to reality TV would be if it allowed me to decide when the cameras stop," she tells Us Weekly. An insider says in the new Us Weekly, out now, that Conrad is getting her very own reality show -- and that the networks have been fighting over it."

"In an exclusive interview with Us, Conrad (who wouldn't confirm the new series) says her third go-round would be miles away from the drama and back-stabbing of Laguna Beach and The Hills."

Nirvana’s Teen Spirit Nears Twenty Today!

"It feel as fresh today as it did on release back in 1991, so it’s almost impossible to believe that “Smells Like Teen Spirit” is really nineteen years old. This time in ’91 Nirvana were huddled in a studio filming the video, which would end in a restless audience trashing the set in frustration."

The famous “House DJ” will be spinning all night and there will also be a performance by The Craigger White Band. This is sure to be a packed event so get there early. The Emory students usually start rolling in around midnight, but don’t worry we probably won’t even go on till about that time. Also, we will be performing live with our new keyboard player, Britton Possey. If you haven’t seen us with our complete band we have totally taken a new approach on our live performance. We no longer play with any back up tracks now that we have a complete band. Everything is 100% different so everyone will be in for a few surprises, such as our acoustic version of Area 51. If you have not been to one of our shows, or to Famous in a while this is a must see!!! We haven’t stumbled through Famous in at least 3 months, so it’s been a minute. Come join us for a Famous reunion and bring the whole gang. Let’s all catch up cuz in the end it’s not about just throwing Kdence in everyone’s face, it’s just an excuse to get back together with old friends and get a little bit crazy!!!"
