Shed some tears, little teenbopper chickies whio still listen to the Backstreet Boys. Kevin Richardson is leaving the group to “pursue other interests.” Gee, like what, have a real career? Finally shake off that Backstreet malaise and get down to business? The rest of the Boys don’t plan on replacing Richardson, and will be back in the studio to record their next disaster to be released later this year, as if anyone could even possibly care anymore.

The rumors of Slash reuniting with Axl Rose and Guns N Roses, is simply a rumor. Not that we’d have thought it wasn’t, and not that I’d have even cared in the least. However, work is chugging along on the next Velvet Revolter Revolver album, tentativle entitled Libertad, “which is Spanish for ‘liberty,’ ” Slash said. “It’s something that we feel strongly about: liberty, freedom, you know …”
Yeah, you know…all that other stuff. Scott Weiland claims it’s going to be a concept album. Oh boy. Oh well, if anything the singing will be more enjoyable unlike fellow freedom fighter Neil Young, who also recently released a concept album about “liberty, freedom, you know…”
While Britney is busy chewing gum on TV defending her shallow marriage and parenting skills, Christina Aguilera is busy reinventing herself as “Baby Jane.” It’s all part of a plan for her tour for her next album. Baby Jane’s gonna be playing small jazz clubs and getting real, proving she’s the genuine artist, shedding her former hobag status and trying to pull off some kind Madonna type transformation. Problem is, when Madonna did that whole jazzy thing via the I’m Breathless album, no one gave a damn (but to be fair, I’ve always felt it was one of her groovier albums if only because it was fluff). We’ll see how Christina fares in non-smoky jazz clubs filled to the brim with all her little fans wanting to hear those old hits of yore. She’d better watch out though, as she’s stepping dangerously close to Richard Cheese territory, and we all know Mr. Cheese is the best thing out there when it comes to lounge pop done right.
I’ve only recently come to know this guy through his drug antics and none of his music and already I’m fucking sick of him. But hey, Pete Doherty has been busted once again, this time in Sweden for being under the influence of kokain and a tranquilizer. Rock on. In the meantime, more meaningful (and crappy yet more interesting) artists are working in new things and not staying famous for their drug habits. Jesus, even Scott Weiland has kept out of the reaches of the law longer than this goofball lately, and that’s saying something.
But not for his tunes or tasteful head makeup. No, this time Boy George is wanted for not showing up at a court appearance to explain why he wants to change his sentence for falsely reporting a burglary. Seems some dope was found in his apartment at the time. Tsk, tsk. Boy suggested that he do some community service, including “a proposal to hold a fashion-and-makeup workshop.” Jesus, the last thing anyone anywhere would need would be a dope-addled goofball’s fashion and makeup advice. I mean, c’mon. Any guy who walks around looking like he spraypainted his head and then melted a few candles on top of it doesn’t need to be giving fashion advice. String ’em up.
