Eddie Van Halen is somehow under the impression that he still matters. Nike launched a new line of sneakers sporting a red, white and black pattern that the rocker claims is his trademark design. Eddie’s company ELVH Inc filed a lawsuit recently citing copyright infringement, in which they are seeking monetary retribution and “the impoundment and destruction of all footwear.” Well that’s a little extreme. His line of sneakers looked nothing like the recent Nikes. And the combination of red, white and black aren’t even tagged to Van Halen anymore. This generation would likely attribute it more to The White Stripes. Eddie needs to get a clue.
Since the large belly of commercialism doesn’t seem to want to grow any thinner because of certain economical circumstances, it seems Activision Blizzard has recently announced that there will be a sequel coming up to the ever popular game “Guitar Hero” which will have Van Halen as its central figure… among Queen, The Offspring and other names. This all seems fine and dandy and will surely bring a pretty, but honest penny to the company’s vaults, but does this game actually even encourage guitar playing for real? I’m sure that’s what Van Halen would want out of it… or so I dare hope.
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!!!!
David Lee Roth wants everyone to know that he can shove as many nuts into his mouth as he wants. After a story circulated earlier in the week, which included actual interviews with two Canadian police officers, that claimed that cops had to save the rocker’s life after he went into anaphylactic shock from eating nuts, Dave is clearing up that he’s not allergic to nuts and the incident never happened. The Van Halen front man says “I was in Canada only from July first through the fourth for a performance at the Quebec City Summer Festival. I had no encounters or incidents with the police. The only thing I’m allergic to is criticism. — Love, Dave”
Sammy Hagar doesn’t need to fly out to meet Van Halen yet as David Lee Roth is still alive and kicking thanks to 2 Canadian cops. According to reports, the rocker was pulled over in Ontario, Canada for speeding but when cops approached the vehicle, they discovered that he was in anaphylactic shock. Roth apparently has an allergy to nuts and was suffering a severe reaction after coming into contact with a contaminated substance. The officers called an ambulance and kept the rocker calm until paramedics arrived. One of the police officers said that he didn’t even realize that he was dealing with a famous rock star. Roth is one lucky guy!
Rumors flew that Eddie Van Halen wasn’t feeling so well. This came after his band Van Halen cancelled a sold out North American tour and said he was “undergoing a battery of comprehensive medical tests.”
At the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards on Saturday, his son Wolfgang assured fans that he’s doing fine. He said, “Don’t listen to the rumors – he’s doing great – seriously!”
Eddie’s ex Valerie Bertinelli says he hasn’t entered rehab, although he has previously battled substance abuse and dealt with mouth cancer. Wolfgang says they are picking up the tour in mid-April and have added a show in Reno on April 17th.
It’s on. It’s not on. It’s on again. And guess what? Despite assurances that the show will go on, Van Halen has postponed all of their concerts through April 19th. Eddie Van Halen is reportedly still sick and is undergoing tests for an unspecified medical condition. According to organizers, the 53-year old rocker “is currently under doctors’ care” and will “continue medical tests to define a course of treatment”. Fans are being asked to keep their tickets which will be honored for when the shows get rescheduled. Why don’t they just say it plainly? The guy’s in rehab isn’t he?
Contrary to previous reports, Van Halen’s current tour is on as, much like most of their members, it’s been brought back from the dead. The group initially canceled remaining tour dates and hotel reservations through April 19. The company behind the tour, Live Nation, says that Eddie Van Halen is undergoing a battery of medical tests to determine a defined diagnosis and recommended medical procedure. Let’s hope that it has nothing to do with any alcohol abuse. Eddie had a stint in rehab last year for alcohol-related issues. Now, they are saying that the canceled dates have been rescheduled starting April 24.
It has been reported that the Van Halen tour has been canceled. Sources are saying that arrangements are still being made right now to cancel hotel stays for the tour which was set to continue on through April 19th. Sources are also saying that the reason for the tour’s cancellation is because Eddie is having “issues”. The last 3 shows had already been canceled. Of the shows that did go on, reports have come out that Eddie seemed out of it during performances and videos of recent performances even show his guitar playing being atrocious. They definitely have some issues alright.
Here’s some sad news for celebrity couple heaven. Rocker Eddie Van Halen and actress and Jenny Craig pitchwoman Valerie Bertinelli are officially single. Sources close to the once couple tell that the divorce was amicable and that they still get together with each other, sometimes even with their new partners, and that both are very devoted to raising their 16-year old song Wolfgang who is currently on tour with Eddie’s band.
Valerie originally filed for divorce in December of 2005. The two had been married since 1981! I guess there really is no forever. That’s over 20 years of marriage down the drain.
