As if the Brit awards of 2008 weren’t going to be eventful enough with the Osbournes hosting it. In fact with the whole family involved one way or another it is bound to be a colourful affair.
But to add to the frivolities Ozzy Osbourne is to fulfil a lifelong dream by performing with his hero Sir Paul McCartney. Aptly for Ozzy they will perform Paul’s classic Bond theme Live and Let Die.
Brit bosses are still thrashing out final details, but if it does come off then it will all be down to Ozzy’s wife Sharon. The X Factor judge has used her influence — and the couple’s gig as awards hosts — to set up the once in a lifetime opportunity for her hubby.
She said: “They go together really well. It will be amazing.”
Well I for one will be tuning in to the show on February 20th for a most memorable evening.

Despite years of drug and alcohol abuse; hell-raising Pogues singer Shane Macgowan has reached the grand old age of 50.
You wouldn’t credit it; but he actually attributes his “old-age” to his lifestyle; saying “Smoking, drinking, partying – that’s why I’ve stayed alive as long as I have. I party my way through life.”
Well I wouldn’t recommend the toothless singer’s lifestyle as a way to stay young and fit and if you look at him closely neither would you; but we wish him Many Happy Returns on the milestone regardless.

Music legend Ike Turner made a final appearance on Thursday in a spectacular gold-studded lilac suit with a golden Fender Stratocaster by the side of his coffin. The elaborate silver coffin was topped with a massive spray of white flowers at the Angelus Funeral Home on Crenshaw Blvd., where hundreds filed past to pay their final respects. Phil Spector, who’s accused of murder, was spotted in the queue.
He may have had a shady past including beating up diva ex-wife Tina Turner and doing cocaine, but we can’t deny what he’s done for the industry. I hope Ike finally finds his peace.

Cher’s look has always been changing. She’s adapted for three generations. If you do the math, that’s over six decades! And now, she’s gone all punk and skater girl.The taut-skinned 61-year old was spotted outside a Ralph’s supermarket in Malibu wearing her Fallout Boy cap, X-ray bifocals, skull jacket and a matching puke green scarf. It’s a look that’s completed by orthopaedic jeans and a goth pedicure. She looks like a cartoon that was pieced together from other cartoons. A regular Frankenstein don’t you think? At least she didn’t grab the look of the kid that was with her. Now that would be disturbing.

When it comes to shirts, married singers and songwriters Ashford & Simpson need to learn that less doesn’t always mean more. The duo is responsible for writing classic songs like ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’. A very high mountain is where their horrific outfits should be banned to is what really needs to be done.
The singing couple performed at a charity event in Atlanta last Saturday where 65-year old Nick Ashford, with his unfortunately purple plastic-wrapped wife Valerie Simpson, wore a woman’s belt and an inexcusable studded sheer tank top. I have almost no doubt that their outfits gave fans the blues.

Michael Jackson has made a very rare appearance and I think I know why he’s been coming out rarely. His face is falling apart! He looked like a character from ‘Star Wars’ when he was spotted wrapped and bandaged in a Las Vegas bookstore over the weekend.
The 49-year old former King of Pop went into a Barnes & Noble with his three kids and it looks like he may have just gotten from a surgeon’s office to try and salvage his face. His disintegrating face originally made headlines a few years ago when he was seen in court with a nose that looked to be falling off. Now, it looks like Jacko’s face is about to melt.

The death of music legend was pretty much a shock to everyone in the music industry and the events leading to his death were unknown – until now.
It’s being reported that Ike Turner had just finished eating breakfast last Wednesday morning at his home in San Marcos, California when he decided to lay down to rest for a few minutes. His personal assistant, along with members of the Kings of Rhythm band, were at his house. One of the band members went to wake Ike up but he was non-responsive. When paramedics arrived around 11AM, they unsuccessfully performed CPR.
The actual cause of death is still unknown but his manager did say that he had been suffering from emphysema for years.

There are a lot of people who react negatively when the name ‘Liam Gallagher’ is mentioned; mainly due to his poor reputation as music’s’ Bad Lad. I admit to not being a huge fan myself, but after today’s news he does get my respect.
The bad lad turns out to be not a bad Dad. The Oasis frontman has two sons; eight-year-old Lennon and six-year-old Gene; and is said to regularly drop into their school to give music lessons. A school source said, “”Liam’s spending loads of time in the school. He does the school run in the morning and often pops in and teaches the kids some music skills.
A lot of the children are a bit too young to understand who he is. He’s just another dad to most of them - they don’t know how lucky they are.”
Good for Liam. So many celebrities have hired nannies and such to help look after their children it is so nice to see one getting his hands dirty and joining in.

Cher, the diva whose face doesn’t seem to age, is sick. And here I thought that nothing will ever be able to infiltrate what could be reinforced steel already. All those botox shots should have already made her invincible, so why is she sick?
Cher has been hit with a mystery stomach illness. She is currently being treated by a specialist based in Europe for her tummy trouble. Due to her mystery illness, the singer has had to cancel appearances and work obligations.
Let’s just hope that it’s nothing too serious and she’ll be able to get back to work. Get well soon, Cher!

Loud-mouthed Jade Goody is not known for her brains and good ideas. From not knowing if they speak English in the US to naming strawberries as a vegetable; and that’s just the beginning of many daft things that have rooted from the girl’s mouth.
But bright idea of the year is to sing Happy Birthday to the PM next year in the same style as Marilyn Monroe’s tribute to the president in 1962.
The 26 year old says, “If I behave myself, maybe next year I’ll sing Happy Birthday Gordon Brown, like Marilyn did to the president.”
It’s not the singing that worries me. It’s the “behaving” and the fact we have never known Jade to think before she speaks; leading to cringe worthy embarrassment. I have wanted the ground to open up and swallow me on her behalf at times.
Don’t hold your breath fans…

Backstreet Boys member Howie Dorough tied the knot on Saturday with his longtime girlfriend Leigh Boniello. This little boy is all grown up!
The pair got married at St. James Catholic in Orlando, Florida where Howie was joined by his fellow Backstreet Boys at the wedding. Howie and his wife left the church in a horse drawn carriage (how cliché of them) while the guests were loaded into two tour buses and taken to the reception.
What? They can’t afford chauffeured cars? Had it been the late 90s, the couple would have been considered A list. Now I think they’re in the Z list. Congrats anyway.

Well if you had ever wondered where that squeaky high pitched tone belonging to Cyndi Lauper came from – it is down to helium. The ‘Girl’s Just Wanna Have Fun’ singer was spotted backstage at the Hetrick-Martin benefit gala in New York last week sucking the voice distorting gas out of balloons.Hmmm. Should we feel like we have been disillusioned? Or do we not care enough? Yes, songs like Time After Time and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun will forever be in our memories due to their popularity at hen nights and birthday parties…but have you ever really heard the words “Cyndi Lauper has a fantastic singing voice”?
If you had you might be a bit upset that she cheats and uses helium. Don’t get me wrong I’m sure the woman has plenty of talent; I’m just not sure this revelation is something to get too excited about.
In the meantime Cyndi also upset her backing choir for the gig by introducing them as her “transgender choir”. One of the young singers fumed, “She keeps calling us transgender! We’re not f******g trannies!”
Oops Cyndi; careful what you say love.

I know. It’s about Amy Winehouse. Again. But I can’t help it. Things just seem to be going from bad to worse these days. After I reported a couple of days ago of Amy’s “clean start”; seemingly dubious due to the presence of Pete Doherty … our girl has once again been spotted with a nose that wouldn’t look out of place in the Alps.
The nocturnal singer was partying in Soho until the early hours after playing a secret gig in Greek Street despite cancelling her UK tour last week. When she stumbled out of the venue, the ever lady like singer spat at photographers and awaiting fans. Lovely.
Someone take control of this girl. Rumour is the people in charge have plans to get Amy back into Rehab – in Israel. But the laughable point is that the course is only a week long; which is why they think they will be able to persuade the troubled one into attending. Sounds like a holiday in my books.

One half of the rap duo UGK was found dead in a hotel room on the morning of December 4. Homicide detectives are said to be looking into the death of 33-year old Pimp C whose real name was Chad Butler, who was found dead at the Mondrian Hotel. LA County Fire responded to a 911 call at the hotel located on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood. They arrived to his sixth floor hotel room to find him dead in bed.
UGK is best known for being featured on the Jay-Z track ‘Big Pimpin’ in 200 and more recently, performed with Outkast on the song ‘International Player’s Anthem (I Choose You)’. Pimp C’s last performance took place at the House of Blues in LA on Saturday night.

They’re back. Possibly two of the most annoying pop stars ever to emerge; unless you count the Cheeky Girls; Tatu are back with a new single. I hear the colossal groan whilst you cast your mind back to the Russian pair’s last memorable song - All The Things She Said – and how irritating it was. Or was that just me?
The single is called Beliy Plaschik (White Robe) and is from forthcoming album Waste Management. And like the video for All The Things where the pair play naughty schoolgirl lesbians; the video for this new release is already causing a stir.
In the video Yulia Volkova, who is pregnant in real life; is strung up and shot by partner Lena Katina. Sorry boys there are no snogging scenes, but the girls do flaunt their underwear. For fans – enjoy. For non fans – I’ll be hiding in the closet if you care to join me.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5…that’s how many Jacksons there were performing back in the 1970s with “I Want You Back” and “Never Can Say Goodbye”. And now brother Jermaine says they’re well on their way to a reunion tour, set to begin sometime in 2008. It is planned to be an all out reunion, including brother Michael who left the group in 1985 to pursue his solo career.
Jermaine was the lead singer before Michael took over and has been instrumental in planning the reunion. He says Michael has been at the meetings and will definately be involved. “He has to be. He is a Jackson.”
According to Jermaine, this isn’t the first time the Jackson 5 have tried to come back together. Plans for an earlier regroup were set aside in 2005 due to Michael’s child abuse case.
Jermaine is hopeful that this tour will bring them closer together and closer to a new album. He says the band is currently in the studio working on a new project.
Personal opinion here - look at Michael as a musician and not as a person when you’re considering their reunion. Taking no sides here, but whether you believe in his guilt or innocence regarding events in his life, you can’t deny that he’s had some amazing musical accomplishments. Give him, and the other 4 Jacksons, some kudos for having the cajones to get back out there!

It’s a sad day for 80s Hair Band lovers.
The lead singer of Quiet Riot, a well known heavy metal band from the 1980s, was found dead over the weekend at his Las Vegas home. The cause of death is currently unknown.
It was about 5:20 p.m. on Sunday evening when Kevin DuBrow was found, says a spokeswoman for the Clark County Coroner’s Office. An autopsy is planned to find the cause of death.
DuBrown was a founding member of Quiet Riot. The group was formed in the mid-1970s and finally hit the bigtime with their Billboard chart topper “Metal Health” in 1983. “Cum on Feel the Noize” was a major hit for the band.
Over time, they have dealt with break-ups and membership changes, but they released a new album as recently as 2006. They continued random touring as well.
His bandmantes are taking the news hard. Frankie Banali issued the following statement on his website, “I can’t even find the words to say. Please respect my privace as I mourn the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend, Kevin DuBrow.”
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Kevin DuBrow. You will be missed.

71-year-old Charlie Daniels received an early Christmas present as he performed his annual Christmas for Kids benefit concert.
Martina McBride presented him with a gift-wrapped invitation to join the Grand Old Opry during the show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.
Daniels told audience members, “I cannot even begin to tell you folks…this is very emotional for me. I never ever in my wildest dreams, when I came to Nashville with my precious wife and son, dreamed this would happen. To think that now my name will be added along with all these great country artists. Thank you.”
Daniels is well-known for his singing, guitar picking, and fiddling. His 1979 platinum single “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” was #1 on the country chart, #3 on the pop chart, and even won a Grammy.
Following the announcement, the curtains were pulled back to show the barn backdrop of the Grand Old Opry show. His formal induction will be later this winter.
The Opry was established in 1925 and is the longest continuously running radio show in the country. Country legends and current stars join together as a part of the show which airs on Friday and Saturday nights on WSM-AM.

A February trial date has been set for singer Boy George on the charges that he falsely imprisoned a male escort by chaining him to the wall.On Thursday, Thames Magistrate Court in London assigned the date of February 25 after the former pop star was indicted for the alleged incident which occured at his flat in east London. George remained silent during the proceedings, speaking only to confirm that his real name is George O’Dowd.
The alleged incident occured on April 28, with George reportedly chaining up the 28-year-old escort. As of now, George has made no comment about the incident and has no plans to talk to reporters. The February trial will be held at Snaresbrook Crown Court.
This is not George’s first run in with the law this year. In August, he performed a week of community service in New York, his punishment for admitting that he falsely reported a burglary at his apartment in Lower Manhattan. A stash of cocaine was found when police responded to the call.
Apparently George is following the directions of his fashion label a little too closely - B-Rude.

After a whole decade, medics still discuss the case of princess Diana’s accident and death.
Now, they realize that she might have survived if only…if only medics would’ve came faster, not after one hour, if only she would’ve been pulled out of the car sooner, not in 30 whole minutes, if only the way to the hospital was shorter…
Sadly, not even now, after all this time, people are not ready to assume responsibility. They all take about maybes and possibilities, but none of them is ready to make accusations or admit quilt. I always thought Diana died because of medics getting there too slow, because of such a great waste of time in all aspects of the rescue. People involved in equally serious car crashed survived, maybe crippled for their whole life, but they are still alive today. Why them and not her? Well, paramedics seem to work better when not stressed out because they are handling a celebrity.
