Beckham is red-carded

Beckham is red-carded

Don’t panic, football fans, I don’t mean on the pitch. No, Victoria Beckham has told hubby that he is banned from attending the first gig of the Spice Girls’ reunion gig because she is too nervous.

Awe. Poor David. And I bet he just couldn’t wait to be the ever supportive husband and watch the five girls in Vancouver, Canada as they kick off their hugely anticipated world tour.

Most husbands like to be supportive but David claims his wife is constantly changing her mind. “One minute Victoria is saying she wants me there and then it’s, ‘No, don’t come to the first show, as we’ll all be too nervous.’ But I think I’ll be at the show a couple of days later in San Jose and have the boys with me. And I know Victoria will ring me as soon as the first show ends. She says the rehearsals have gone amazingly well.”

Beyonce, the artist with too many slashes between job descriptions to mention, showed up in a green Zac Posen Resort at ‘Movies Rock: A Celebration of Music in Film’ which was held at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday. And yes, she did her trademark pose of showing her armpits.

The noted singer and actress made a costume change into an Elie Saab dress some time during the show for her performance She performed a rousing rendition of ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ from The Wizard of Oz.

That’s right Smashing Pumpkins fans, your favorite band is going on tour and you had better believe that you are not going to want to miss out on this impressive line-up of talent and fun! Due to the fact that there is nothing as much fun as watching your favorite band play your favorite songs while you are surrounded by other fans of that band and by your own set of family and friends, you had better believe that you are going to want to get yourself tickets to see this band perform live, while you still can!

Highlight of the Smashing Pumpkins tour include gigs at such locales as the Fox Theater in Atlanta, Georgia on both November 15 and November 16 as well as the Nokia Theater at Grand Prairie in Grand Prairie, Texas on November 18.

Coheed And Cambria - No World For Tomorrow

Coheed And Cambria - No World For Tomorrow

Like the Mars Volta, progressive-metal suite freaks Coheed and Cambria are almost too smart and ambitious for their own good –not enough, however, to cancel out the instrumental highs and car-radio-chorus charge of the best songs on their fourth album. No World for Tomorrow is reportedly the concluding episode in a tortuous, apocalyptic libretto by singer-guitarist Claudio Sanchez that connects all of the band’s records. (Coheed and Cambria are named after the lead characters.) But there is more immediate, impressive resolution in the decisive pop arc of the mutating riffs and slippery time signatures Sanchez bundles into “The Hound (of Blood and Rank)” and “The Running Free.” His classic-rock aspirations are all over the razor-guitar hum of “Feathers” (note the shards of Uriah Heep’s 1972 hit single “Easy Livin’ ” rattling around inside) and the harmonized Thin Lizzy-style luster of the guitars and Sanchez’s vocals, like a choir of Geddy Lees, in “Justice in Murder.” Sanchez’s rabbit-hole saga may be over –the album finishes with a five-part, twenty-five-minute exclamation point, “The End Complete” –but there is plenty here that is worthy of rewind.

Victoria Beckham: ‘We Didn’t Come Here To Be Celebrities’

An insurance seminar and a trigonometry class are more interesting than these two Attention wh()res. Firstly, celebrities or not they are right now into the business that every celeb dons after becoming one – the business of denying that you are seeking attention and that’s what you want. Victoria is just trying to do what all other in LA try to do, they want to be famous and have the spotlight right on them and then they want to be seen as generous people who do care if the bulbs are flashed on them or not. Celebes from other place come to LA to be seen, heard X@@##! around, drink then go to rehab… Welcome to LA folks.. And if Victoria thinks she in different and thinks that her urge is taken in the wrong sense then so be it, who cares, this place called LA is made for them to show how much their shit stink and yet they will carry it all over the place with an Armani perfume to let us breath.

Shotter’s Nation - BABYSHAMBLES

Shotter's Nation - BABYSHAMBLES

It has been quite some time since the music of Babyshambles leader Pete Doherty received more notoriety than his drug arrests. That won’t change with “Shotter’s Nation,” though there are a few instances where the songs manage to make the listener forget about the court appearances and remember Doherty’s uniquely skewered way around a guitar line and lyric.

Though there’s nothing here that reaches the highs of Doherty’s work with the Libertines, opener “Carry On Up the Morning” comes close, with its ramshackle guitar opening and the singer’s apparent perspective on his nebulous public persona. But too often the songs sound like half-baked fragments (”Side of the Road”) or third-rate Beatles outtakes (”Crumb Begging Baghead”). Here’s hoping Doherty can overcome his problems and return his focus to songwriting.
