Richie dates Richards!

You’d think Richie Sambora would give the babe thing a rest until his divorce was finalized, but oh no. Richie is now getting it on with Denise Richards according to tabloid reports. Richards, as wel all know, has recently come out saying Charlie Sheen threatened to kill her numerous times and a whole lot of other nasty shit. Still, I can’t help but see that Richards is so not as sexy as Heather Locklear. That whole big eyed/big goofy smile thing just never did much for me. Sambora, you’re a dork.

The first indication that Britney might have taste

Although she and her son, Sean Preston, both accompanied him to Las Vegas, Britney Spears took a pass on attending K-Fed’s album listening party.



(NOTE: Size of photos indicative of who has more talent.)

Apparently, Spears and K-Fed – real name Kevin Federline, of course – were spotted pre-show at Nero…a restaurant in Caesar’s Palace…having a discussion. Said discussion, however, apparently ended in tears, and Britney departed, presumably returning to their room. Bystanders may or may not have suggested that the waterworks began when K-Fed made the simple request to “act like you’re enjoying the album.”

Michael Jackson Creation That Will Never See The Light of Day #24,237,673

So, now, Wacko Jacko is reportedly trying to get 50 Cent to collaborate with him.

Fiddy hasn’t committed to anything, but DJ Whoo Kid is heading over to Bahrain to pick up some tracks that Jackson has been working on, and the rumblings are that the collaboration – if it occurs – would appear on a mixtape the Kid is putting together. The only possible point of interest in this story is the comment that Jackson’s current material is being co-produced by Bruce Swedien, who engineered Thriller.

If Mike can put together something even half as good as that classic album, even your friend Joe Skeptic here could get behind that.

Deep Cuts: Belinda Carlisle, “California”

I might have overrated the source album for this song (A Woman & A Man) when it first came out in 1996, but can you blame me…? Belinda – the second cutest Go-Go (because Jane Wiedlin will always have my heart) – hadn’t put out an album in three years, and her previous outing…Real…hadn’t been the most consistent of her solo works; in fact, it was such a commercial bomb that it ended up being her one and only release on Virgin.

A Woman & A Man was such a creative success, however, that it was easy to get swept up in it and…cough, cough…put it in your top 10 of the year; unfortunately, while the best tracks were released as singles in both the UK and Australia, the album came out in the States on Miles Copeland’s label, Ark 21, and died a quick death…so much so that, if we were fortunate enouh to get any singles in the US, I have absolutely no idea what they were! If we had, however, my picks would’ve been a tie between “Always Breaking My Heart,” written by Per Gessle from Roxette (who proves here that he can write a power pop song that can kick your ass), and this one.

“California” features Brian Wilson on very obvious (and very perfect) doo-wop styled backing vocals, as well as one of the great opening couplets of all time: “I remember I was in the tanning salon / When I heard that River Phoenix was gone.” I once read the track described as a cross between “California Dreaming” and X’s “Los Angeles,” and that’s not a bad comparison. Check it out; it’s on iTunes, or you can sample it via RealAudio here.

Master P threatens Bow Wow, who doesn’t give a shit

Oh that naughty Master P. The man’s apparently been trying to start a feud between his son, Lil’ Romeo and Bow Wow. According to the story, P has told Wow to stop dissing other stars or face the consequences. Mm-hmm. To which Mr. Wow replied, “I can’t understand all this, but I guess that’s how it is when you ain’t getting no attention. You can hear me on the radio all day, every day. (Lil’ Romeo) can’t sell no records, and your daddy is on Dancing With The Stars.”

God I love teenmusic.com. It’s such a haven for the hottest current news out there, in nice bite-size nuggets for dudes like me to offer back to you in nicer sarcastic-sized chunks.
