Video: Red Hot Chili Peppers, “Dani California”

To date, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have only really made a couple of videos that mattered — everyone seems to love “Give It Away,” but I much prefer the Mark Romanek-directed “Can’t Stop” — and they just made one more. Check out this clip for “Dani California,” the single from their new live album Stadium Arcadium, where they dress up as famous bands from different eras. At the risk of giving anything away, we won’t reveal which bands, but I think the hair metal one was spot on.

American Idol: The Stage Wasn’t Big Enough

It is a sad day here at Marley World Headquarters. Yes, Mandisa was voted off of “American Idol.” Sad not just because we thought she had the goods to go all the way, but because tools like Ace and Bucky are still hanging around. What gives, America?

Well, in all fairness, Mandisa was not very good the last few weeks. And let’s face it, when Simon made the comments very early on this season that the stage might not be big enough……let’s just say America already has one extremely overweight Idol and you don’t see much of Ruben Studdard anymore. And every time you do see him perform, he’s soaked in sweat and out of breath. That may not be fair but I am quite sure appearance was somewhat of a deciding factor.

The show started with the new face of Kenny Rogers….seriously dude, it’s okay to look like an old man!
Anyway, he performed his new single “I Can’t Unlove You” and sounded great….Simon even
commented beforehand that even though he doesn’t like country music, he is a Kenny Rogers fan.

Then after another really stupid Ford commercial (it’s not even worth getting into) they broke the remaining contestants into groups of 3, with one of those being the bottom 3. I thought for sure the group of Katharine, Ace and Bucky was it but I was wrong…it was Elliott, Paris and Mandisa. Paris….are you kidding me? Please, people…don’t vote her off before Ace or Bucky…show me that you have some semblance of hearing left.

So now we are left with the elite 8: Taylor, Kellie, Chris, Elliot, Paris, Ace, Katharine and Bucky.
I guess I’m sticking to my guns here and saying Chris is my favorite to go all the way. But has anyone noticed that Taylor keeps hanging around and hasn’t been in the bottom 3 yet? Neither has Kellie….hmmm. Stay tuned, it’s gonna get interesting.

Next week the contestants perform the music of one of the greatest rock bands ever, Queen. Ace will use his falsetto to hang on, but Bucky doing Freddy Mercury? Start packing your bags, dude.

Marley, OUT.

The lawyer’s surprised, but we’re not

Well, Eminem’s getting divorced from Kim Mathers. Again. Didn’t I call this one? I think I did, but anyone could have. Why they got remarried is anyone’s guess, but it looks like this time it’s really over. Kim’s lawyer said,

“It comes to us as somewhat of a surprise. But we have to deal with it, and we will deal with it,” he said. “I was at their wedding. It’s very unfortunate that he filed for divorce.”

Somewhat of a surprise? You mean you didn’t see this coming a mile away? What a shocker. Oh well, maybe Kim will get a-plenty from the prenup.

Ringo Starr has a new All-Starr Band.

On the whole, I think my April Fool’s joke about Ringo and Paul teaming up was funnier than the reality of Starr touring with Rod Argent, Edgar Winter, Billy Squier, Sheila E, and…Richard Marx?

Jesus H. Jumping Christ on a Pogo Stick.

The guy’s a Beatle; don’t tell me he doesn’t have any higher profile friends than Richard freakin’ Marx…

Daniel Powter owns your soul

You think he’s big now? Wait until the album comes out next Tuesday.

Daniel Powter and his eponymous debut have been beating artists like red-headed stepchildren on iTunes, and now get this: His single “Bad Day,” which is still only available via download, just hit Number One. And get this: there are some songs on the album that are even better. (My favorite is “Suspect,” which sounds like AC/DC’s Brian Johnson doing a dance track.)

You can’t stop him; you can only hope to contain him.
