Time for a new pearl Jam album. Big deal, you say? Yeah, I’m right there with you. Having never cared for the band, even in their prime, it’s harder to care about them now when it seems like the band members should all be working at Kmart. But they’re going forward with a self-titled new album that finds its inspiration in George W. Bush’s reelection. Can you say “dated within 5 minutes?” I knew that you could. Hey I’ll be the first to stand up and say “I didn’t vote for that guy either time,” but albums like these are doomed for the cheap bin. “Hey man, remember when Eddie Vedder really stuck it to Dubya on that album of Pearl Jam’s?” Gee, who hasn’t stuck it to Dubya by now?

Like anyone should be surprised. Justin Timberlake claims songwriting takes too long! Something to do with it not fitting in to his “busy lifestyle” or whatnot. But really, after coming out of N Sync, where you just gotta stand around and look good, why waste time on developing a real talent? Oh wait, I forget, he can dance and sing like Michael Jackson. So could Corey Feldman (at least on the dancing part), and we all know what happened to Corey, right? Feldman could kick Timberlake’s ass any day. Just give him some coke and a smile.
You need more reality, don’tcha? No? Too bad, because Lil’ Kim has a new show on BET called Countdown To Lockdown. Focusing on Kim’s last two weeks of freedom before being incarcerated. “We take an unblinking look at her life and her choices, and the consequences of those choices,” says BET President of Entertainment Reginald Hudlin. Gee, now if I only cared. Someone’s gonna be glued to the set in tears, though. Stop the world, I’m getting off.
Stewart Copeland has always been the most vocal about getting The police back together. It’ll probably never happen as a regular working band concept again, but in the meantime Copeland is releasing his own tour documentary, Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out. It was shot during the band’s gigging for Zenyatta Mondatta, but if you’re going to be looking for any “classic Police fighting,” you’ll be disappointed. According to Copeland, “This movie showed me — and I hope it shows the world — that it’s a myth. This thing about the Police fighting all the time is just not true. We did argue — but any band that is a decent band, that has any kind of vitality, has creative tensions.”
Poor Scotty Stampp. First, the sex vid with him and Kid Rock appears, and now a chick claiming to be the star of “all the females in the video” is suing Stapp over said tape. Man, 2006 is turning out to be a big hit for Scott. No one wants to listen to his shitty album, but everyone wants to completely ruin the guy. As far as Kid Rock goes, he blames the whole debacle on Stapp as well. Rock on.
