Rocker Eddie Van Halen is finally going to remarry.
Van Halen, 53, has proposed to his girlfriend, 38 year-old publicist Janie Liszewski.
This summer the rocker and his gal were vacationing in Hawaii. That’s when he took her to a private room at a Tiffany’s store and popped the question.
*insert collect sigh here*
A source says, “They are happy, healthy, very much in love and looking forward to living life together forever. They are devoted to each other and to experiencing life in a whole new, positive and passionate way.”
This will be the first wedding for Liszewski and the second for Van Halen.
Eddie was previously married to Jenny Craig spokeswoman Valerie Bertinelli, with whom they have a 17 year old-son, Wolfgang.
According to the source, the couple plans to marry next June.
Congrats!!!!
The Daily Mail is reporting that Rolling Stone guitarist Ronnie Wood has reportedly run off with an 18-year old Russian cocktail waitress that he met at an escort bar three months ago. The rocker’s wife says that her husband isn’t involved with the young girl in that way but the girl from Moscow is apparently already planning a future with the 61-year old guitarist. Ekaterina Ivanova has been telling all her friends and posting updates on her Facebook page that she’s linked to the rocker and is in love. Wood’s publicist says “He’s fallen off the wagon big time. He’s spiraling out of control…He’s not even clear-headed enough to check himself into rehab…He’s on two bottles of vodka a day and he has a size 28 waist.”
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.
