The singer is apparently quite heartbroken over the fact that he is unable to bring his dogs over from Los Angeles in the UK. Moreover, he supposedly spends six thousand dollars a month to visit them. This is what Robbie Williams wrote on his blog about the matter: “We’ve come back to see the Dogs….. because of the ridiculous quarantine rules …… The Little ones and the big ones have to have Jabs then wait a whole 6 months before they re deemed fit enough(well, rabies free) to join us in England…It’s a stupid law but one You can’t do anything about.” Strange that Robbie Williams has to wait six months for his dogs to be allowed into England… I hear dogs die from rabies in about ten days so where’s the logic in it. Maybe the authorities in the UK consider that if the dogs can survive for six months in a place like Los Angeles then perhaps they may have developed some sort of immunities and can be considered valuable members of the British canine community.

Louie Bellson has often been hailed as ‘the world’s greatest drummer’, he has passed away due to complications of Parkinson’s disease at Cedars Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles at the age of eighty-four.
Louie began his musical career as a teenager and is best remembered for performances he dished out being the member of big bands while working with the likes of jazz legends such as Count Basie, Harry James, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. During the 1940’s and 50’s he was the star attraction at every show he performed in.
Amongst his achievements are winning 6 Grammy Awards and also won the coveted and prestigious American Jazz Masters Award in 1994.
Yeah that’s a really stellar career Louie hand and I’m sure he led a very dignified life and played with the best in the business. I have hardly ever heard a drummer winning 6 Grammys so this gentleman must have been really special.

Prince is set to have a secret hip replacement. Not much of a secret though if I’m writing about it is it?
The ‘Purple Rain’ singer, who released his first album in 1978, is being forced to undergo the surgery at just 49-years-old after suffering excruciating pain as a result of years of blistering performances.
A source said, “For months Prince, who always puts on the most energetic shows, has been complaining of pain every time he moves. He is totally crushed because he knows he will never be the same again.”
The surgery will involve removing the ball and socket of Prince’s damaged hip and replacing it with a titanium joint. The diminutive star is allegedly booking into a private hospital and aides have reportedly cleared two months from his diary to allow him time to recover from the operation.
Meanwhile, Prince put his health worries aside to host a special exclusive post Oscar-party last night. A-list names reportedly invited to the extravagant bash at his new Los Angeles home included Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Will Smith, Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz.

It’s a time for mourning for many stars in the past couple of weeks. We first had Jane Seymour lose her mother, Marie Osmond lose her father, Kanye West bury his mother and now, Diana Ross suffers through the loss of her father.
The legendary singer gave one of the most emotional performance of her career on Tuesday night when she revealed to the audience at her show at the Gibson Amphitheater in Los Angeles that her father had passed away earlier that morning. But like a true performer, she decided to go on with the show.
One concertgoer said that “It was very touching. Diana was close to tears throughout the show and at one point brought out her entire family on stage in celebration of her dad.”

Van Halen tour Blast from the Past just concluded with their LA concert. Many many fans showed up, old Van Halen fans and new fresh ones. I never thought the quite old rock band still had it in them.
Not only did they drew a magnificent crow, but also their performance exceeded expectations. Eddie’s revival is a phenomenon that goes well ahead of his toned body.
His performance brought up to present so much nostalgia for everyone present. He wearing his usual concert outfit, tearing up the stage in their usual matter, full of energy just like in 1978 when they debuted, was a marvel in itself.

Prince Rogers Nelson, more famously known as Prince or the artist formerly known as Prince or Prince again, is being sued by a man who claims that the singer took 12 AVID hard drives and never paid for them.
The lawsuit was filed a few days ago in Los Angeles Superior Court by Ian Lewis. In the suit, he claims that Prince, named as the defendant along with his record label and fan club website, took 12 Avid Shuttle Drives worth $12,000, saying that Prince and his people never had any intention of returning or paying for them.
Lewis is seeking $1,000,000 and other damages to be determined at trial.

This is the best she can do for a red carpet showing for her own film premiere? Well, at least she didn’t look bad.
Janet Jackson showed off her curves in a body-hugging satin maroon number at the LA premiere of ‘Why Did I Get Married?’ at The Cinema Dome on Thursday.
It looks like she’s only doing mediocre efforts these days as a lot of her fans are disappointed with the singer. She once promised that she would tour for her most recent album but never did. She also didn’t tour with the album before that.
She needs a comeback of her own with lots of hit songs.

Reunited punk rock icons the Sex Pistols will warm up for their English tour with a private club show in Los Angeles on October 25, a gig that will mark their first public performance in four years.
The quartet will play the Roxy Theatre, a Sunset Strip venue with room for about 500 people. After that, they begin a four-night stand at London’s Brixton Academy, beginning November 8, followed by a show in Manchester.
The reunion of singer John Lydon, guitarist Steve Jones, bass player Glen Matlock and drummer Paul Cook is being billed as a 30th anniversary celebration of their groundbreaking 1977 album, “Never Mind the Bollocks — Here’s the Sex Pistols.”
The Sex Pistols were one of the best-known English rock bands to emerge from the short-lived punk revolution in the mid-1970s. Four bored kids with limited musical ability, they swore on live television, got beaten up and perfectly captured the economic malaise sweeping Britain.
“Never Mind the Bollocks,” powered by such caustic singles as “Anarchy In The UK” and “God Save The Queen,” topped the U.K. charts in October 1977. But the band broke up the following January during a disastrous American tour. Punk rock figurehead Sid Vicious, who had replaced Matlock, died of a drug overdose in 1979.
The original foursome reunited in 1996 for a world tour. They also toured North America in 2003. The Sex Pistols were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, but refused to show up, sending a rude, handwritten note instead.

Carol Channing’s signature dress a shimmery number she wore in the stage production of “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” was recovered Friday night after being stolen from a Hollywood hotel.
A man found an abandoned bag containing the dress at a Hollywood park and turned it over to authorities, said Officer Jason Lee, a police spokesman. The man was not identified.
The dress was in police custody and would be returned to Channing once the investigation was completed, Lee said.
No further details were immediately available.
The 86-year-old actress and her husband were checking into the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel on Thursday when a man swiped one of her bags from a bell cart in the lobby. Channing told police it was valued at $150,000.
Her representative told celebrity Web site TMZ.com the dress was on its way to the Smithsonian museum for an exhibit.
Along with her platinum bob and distinctive voice, Channing was known for her role as Lorelei Lee in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” and as Dolly Gallagher Levi in “Hello Dolly.”
