Scissor Sisters singer Jake Shears recently had an interview with Q magazine where he talked about the band’s upcoming album which is due out in March. He said “It all began happening when I moved to Berlin for three months. I thought, I need to go out, take a bunch of drugs and have fun. I fell in love with dance music again and stayed out until the sun came up going to these insane sex parties. I’ve seen some things in my time, but I saw stuff there that made my jaw fall to the ground. These people aren’t fucking around.”

Here’s a chance for a couple of big divas to clash. In order to kick start her musical comeback, Whitney Houston will be sitting down for an exclusive interview for the September 14th season premiere of the Oprah Winfrey show. The talk show host’s couch has always been known to induce some tears from a guest. I wonder if she’ll be asking the questions that will make the returning singer break down. I wonder if Oprah will be allowed to ask the questions about drugs. And with that interview, you can be sure that Whitney will be performing too. Are you ready to watch Oprah incorrectly lip synch to the performance?

Amy Winehouse’s ex must be really hard up for money because Blake Fielder-Civil will sell stories about the singer as long as someone will even care enough to listen. His latest tale is that, apparently, he and Wino were partying it up a few years ago with good pal and fellow drug fiend Kate Moss. The model must have been completely loaded because Wino was said to be able to steal a bit of the good stuff from Kate’s purse for her and Blake to snort without Kate noticing a thing. If you ask me, it doesn’t really sound too far off for it to have actually happened. I just don’t think it’s relevant at this time.

Liza Minnelli went on the CBS Early Show this past Friday to talk about her good friend, the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson. And it seems that she knows something about the late singer that is bound to make headlines, and not the good kind. Liza said “All those who knew him well really know what he was like, and I’m sure that now the accolades are going and I’m sure when the autopsy comes, all hell’s going to break loose. So thank God we’re celebrating him now.” I wonder what she means by that. It obviously has something to do with the autopsy and perhaps drugs.

The rapper has recently pleaded guilty in regards to a Los Angeles drug possesion charge. It seems that this course of action will entitle Coolio with the opportunity to spend an eighteen month vacation in the land of eternal hapiness… namely rehab. It looks like Coolio will get off if he completes this little escape. He will however be due in court in September so that his progress can be verified. It’s probably high time Coolio slowed down a bit and got with the programme. Either way it’s for his own good… the other place and the other fellas he’s going to be going to if he doesn’t might convince him of it in their own way.

It seems that the famous singer, who hasn’t released anything for the amazing period of seven years, will be making up for lost time to her fans with a new album coming out on the first of September of this year. Apparently, Whitney Houston has been having marital problems, drug problems and so on in recent years, so she probably has a lot of material to go on. But then again, there is the little matter of a supposed erratic behavior of Whitney Houston’s… but then again, how much of a problem can that be? After all, in that field she has Britney Spears to surpass and that’s one hell of a challenge.

There’s nothing new about these charges, it’s all most like the same old story being replicated by rapper after rapper and I have completely forgotten the count of how many times singers versus actors have been caught.

Last week rap artist Coolio whose real name is Artis Leon Ivey was arrested at the Los Angeles International Airport for alleged drug possession but as the case always is that they are released on bail. Coolio who is mostly known as the rapper who delivered the 1995 hit Gangster’s Paradise and is a Grammy winner.

These are the ripples of fame, first you are ready to stand on one feet to attain stardom and success and the next thing you are doing once you got it is taking steps to ruin your own life with the money you’ve earned.

Now really such news needs not be covered cos’s its the way these rappers live and their life revolves around doing all the things that suck.

It has been reported that the former drummer for Guns N Roses, Steven Adler, was arrested early Friday morning in Hollywood for possession of narcotics, being under the influence and for an outstanding warrant. Earlier this month, the 43-year old rocker actually told a radio station that he was planning on being part of the cast of ‘Sober Living’, a spin-off of VH1’s ‘Celebrity Rehab’. I guess his timing couldn’t be any better. Casting directors should see him as a perfect candidate for their reality show with this recent arrest. What is with the endless list of reality TV shows hiring has-beens lately?

Steven Tyler has checked into rehab.

The Aerosmith frontman – who claims to have been sober for 20 years since cleaning up his act in rehab in the mid-80s – is being treated at Las Encinas Hospital’s drug rehabilitation clinic in Pasadena, California, for ’substance abuse’.

Steven, 60, previously credited his film star daughter Liv, 30, and his Aerosmith bandmates for helping him recover from his previous alcohol and drug addictions.

He previously said: “Four rehabilitation centres for drug abuse later, I’ve been able to take a long, hard look at my behaviour.”

Steven and bandmate Joe Perry – whose hits include ‘Love in an Elevator’ and ‘I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing’ – were nicknamed the ‘Toxic Twins’ in the 80s.

He is currently dating Erin Brady – who has a penchant for the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle and was once thrown out of a casino hotel for brawling. The clinic at Las Encinas Hospital has been made famous by hit US TV show ‘Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew’.

Amazing video footage of John Lennon smoking pot, writing songs and discussing putting the hallucinogenic drug LSD in President Richard Nixon’s tea will be at the centre of a dramatic court case to start next week.

In a bid to keep the tape private Yoko is set to go against Lawrence, Massachusetts-based World Wide Video, which claims ownership of nine hours of raw footage of the former Beatle and Ono filmed only weeks before the legendry band parted in 1970.

World Wide, a consortium of Beatles collectors, are looking to release the historical footage as a 2 hour film “3 days in the life” detailing the break-up and mind set of Lennon at this crucial time.

Rolling Stone magazine dubs it “the most awesome John Lennon footage you might never see.”

Having paid $1 million for the tapes after legal costs and other expenses, it was almost premiered last year but the showing was pulled after Yoko’s lawyers asserted her copyright ownership of the videotapes.

The story looks to be a film in itself with legal parties get ready to fight.

The tapes in question were filmed between 8 to 11 February 1970, and show Lennon composing two hits, “Remember” and “Mind Games,” whilst openly discussing his drug use in scenes that World Wide describe as “intimate and no-holds-barred.”
