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.
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.
