FRANCES BEAN COBAIN ENGAGED TO DAD LOOK A LIKE?!

​Is Frances Bean Cobain engaged to local band The Rambles' Isaiah Silva? According to various sources around town--and Facebook--yes. Sources say that the two, who have been dating for more than a year, changed their relationship status on the social networking site to engaged a few weeks ago. Although they just as quickly changed it back, the couple, who use fake names on Facebook (Frances Rachel Leigh Cook for her, Isaiah David Berkowitz-Cusack for him), allude to the engagement in various posts, such as the screenshot above, which shows Cobain saying, "Getting to spend the rest of my life loving my best friend makes me the luckiest woman in the world."

​Maybe Cobain is really getting ready to start nesting; the 19-year-old daughter of late Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love recently bought a $1.825 million house near LA's Runyon Canyon, reportedly with funds inherited from her father's estate last year.

And while we're all for young, sweet love and our jaded selves wish nothing but the best for the beautiful couple, we can't help but note one creepy fact: Doesn't Silva look remarkably like Kurt Cobain?

RANCID'S TIM ARMSTRONG LAUNCHES WEB SERIES WITH ALL STAR MUSIC CAST

Iconic punk musician and GRAMMY®Award winning producer Tim Armstrong a new and original series entitled Tim Timebomb’s RockNRoll Theater. Imagine the Rocky Horror Picture Show of the new millennium with a cast of punk rockers and hot chicks.  The debut episode premiers exclusively on VEVO, TODAY!


“Doing a show centered on musical theatre isn’t really a stretch for me,” says Armstrong. “For 25 years I’ve been making music and collaborating with friends, been involved in hundreds of videos, and it’s really just a direct extension of my world.” Armstrong adds, “VEVO is the perfect partner to premiere the show because their platform is extensive and will bring lots of eyeballs to our show.”


Homage to the classic American Musicals, Tim Timebomb’s RockNRoll Theater will center on Armstrong as today’s punk rock Rod Serling, leading and narrating suspenseful episodes with a variety of special guest actors and musicians. Each episode will feature extensive song and dance numbers with hard-hitting rock musical songs and rousing dance numbers all wrapped in a dark edge all written by Armstrong.

“I’ll play music until the day I die, and this takes everything in an exciting new direction,” Armstrong adds. “I love collaborating with other artists and all I want to do is continue to make these episodes. That’s the spirit of the project.”


The pilot episode of Tim Timebomb’s RockNRoll Theater entitled “Dante,” will bring the 14th Century epic poem, Dante’s Inferno, roaring into the 21th Century with a new take on greed and corporate corruption. The episode stars AFI frontman Davey Havok, guitarist and vocalist Lars Frederiksen of Rancid, and actor Robert David Hall known for his extensive work on CSI.
Tim Timebomb’s RockNRoll Theater marks the first scripted piece of original programming featured on VEVO, enriching the platform’s catalogue of 45,000 premium music videos, live performances and popular original series.  


Armstrong is a busy man! Although this new series is taking much of his time these days he assures us that his fist loves, Rancid and Transplants, are still very much alive and we can expect new albums and tours for both of them next yeat.

LINDSEY LOHAN = HOT MESS!!

Lindsey Lohan is a total wreck! She just doesn't give a  F***!!! Did she ever? And she needs to go to a real jail at least for a bit to get learn her lesson! She told the courts she was traveling for work. Real truth is she was globetrotting on a shopping spree, doing blow, driving drunk and all the other good stuff she loves to do. It ust be nice to have money to buy your freedom. Let’s see if she's as lucky as OJ Simpson?!

ON the other hand aside from the charcoal she used as blush  she looked her fashion sense is still on point. 

BLUR AND OASIS MAKE UP!!!

Well I don't know about entire bands bu former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher and Blur singer Damon Albarn have definitely put their Britpop feud behind them after 15 years.

Noel Gallagher and Damon Albarn have put their Britpop feud behind them after 15 years.
The former Oasis guitarist said a chance meeting with the Damon - whose band Blur went head to head with Noel's in the charts and a bitter war of words in 1994 - led to them having a beer and settling their differences.


He told Shortlist Magazine: "Funnily enough, when I was out last night, I bumped into him. I literally haven't seen the guy for 15 f***ing years and I bump into him in some club. We both went, 'Hey! F***ing hell!' and then he said, 'Come on, let's go for a beer.'
"So we're sitting having a beer, just going, 'What the f**k was that about 15 years ago? That was mental.'

"Then he said, 'It was a great time though,' and I was like, 'Yeah, it was a f***ing good laugh.' It was cool man."
While Noel, 44, has put his feud with Damon behind him, his bitter fall out with his brother and former Oasis bandmate, Liam - which led to the band's split in August 2009 - continues, and it annoys Noel that he constantly gets mistaken for his sibling on the London Underground.
He added: "I always get this, 'Excuse me, mate, aren't you Liam Gallagher?' F**k's sake. Sometimes, even when they ask me, I say, no and they're like, 'You don't half look like him.'
"For all you budding famous people out there, the key is to keep a straight face: 'Are you Noel Gallagher, mate?' 'Nope.' 'Are you sure?' 'Yep.'"

MICK JAGGER - AMBASSADOR FOR THE AMAZON RAINFOREST!

Why does it always reign on me? Mick Jagger made ambassador for the Amazon rainforest

Mick RULES SOOOO HARD!!!!!  Sir Mick Jagger has been called a lot of things in his time but even he will be surprised by his new title.

The 68-year-old rocstark has been made an honorary ambassador for the Amazon rainforest.

The accolade has been bestowed upon Sir Mick by the Peruvian government as the Rolling Stone singer continues his personal trip through parts of South America.

Personal time: Rock musician Mick Jagger is seen during his visit to the Inca's citadel of Machu Picchu in Cuzco

His specific role will be to bring awareness to the protection of a region of Peru that borders Brazil and Bolivia.

Yesterday Jagger visited the ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu and braved the rain with his family by his side.

The Super Heavy front man didn't exactly look rock and roll as he wore a dark blue anorak and carried a flimsy looking umbrella around the popular tourist site.

Despite having arrived in the area at around 5.20am to avoid crowds, Sir Mick was soon recognised by other tourists.

Luckily the Satisfaction singer was accompanied by a tight security group and they escorted Jagger and his son Lucas around the site.

EX-WEEZER BASSIST PREDICTED HIS DEATH

Ex-Weezer Bassist Predicted His Own Death On Twitter

This is so insanely creepy. Two weeks before he died, Weezer bassist Mikey Welsh tweeted about a dream he had where he died in his sleep in Chicago. Two weeks later he did just that. 

On September 26, he wrote: 'dreamt i died in chicago next weekend (heart attack in my sleep). need to write my will today.'

Before adding: 'correction - the weekend after next.'

As well as this accurate prediction, the New York-born musician, who had become an artist and moved to Vermont, also suggested a prescience of events to come on his Facebook page.

Showcasing one art piece, he wrote that it was available for $250 dollars:
'if i am still alive at time of purchase, price to increase exponentially if i expire prematurely.'

Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Sean Parker in screaming match outside Hollywood club

He was no stranger to drama in The Social Network, but LA clubgoers got a close look at just how tough a partnership with Mark Zuckerberg can be. The Facebook boss reportedly got into an alcohol-fuelled shouting match with Napster co-founder Sean Parker over the site's new ties with Spotify.

The New York Post reported that the two were at the Hollywood hotspot The Beverly this month to mark the music service’s launch with Facebook.

Partnership: Mark Zuckerberg and Sean Parker were pictured with Snoop Dogg at Sean Parker's Celebration of Music in San Francisco last month

But after boozing it up long into the night, the two got into a heated conversation that turned into a public dust-up outside the club.

A source told the paper's Page Six: ‘Sean and Mark had done the big Spotify launch and headed to The Beverly to party.

hey spent a lot of money on alcohol, and as the night went on they got into an intense discussion, which turned into a loud argument as they left.'
The Parker camp denied the claims.

Dust-Up: Sean Parker reportedly got into an alcohol-fuelled spat with Mark Zuckerberg over Facebook's new ties with Spotify

A rep for Mr Parker told Page Six: 'Most stories have a grain of truth. There were together at The Beverly, they did discuss Spotify and Facebook, but they did not have an argument.'

A Facebook official would not return the paper’s request for a comment.

Spotify is partly backed by Parker, who made his name as a supporter of the original Napster music service before becoming a backer of Facebook.

Spotify now has 250,000 paying subscribers, Reuters reported yesterday.

Boss: Mark Zuckerberg's complicated business partnerships were chronicled in the 2010 film The Social Network

Mr Parker, a digital entrepreneur, joined Facebook as an adviser in 2004 before becoming the site’s first president.  But he was forced out of the post following a cocaine possession bust a year later. He was never charged due to a lack of evidence.

While Mr Parker remains a part-owner of Facebook, he no longer has an active role at the multi-billion-dollar company.However, he remains as a consultant to Mr Zuckerberg.

The complex business relationship between Mr Zuckerberg and Mr Parker was chronicled in 2010’s The Social Network.

In the film, Mr Parker (played by Justin Timberlake) is portrayed as a money-obsessed, but brilliant, party animal.

Former Weezer bassist found dead in Chicago hotel

Former Weezer bassist Mikey Welsh was found dead in a Chicago hotel yesterday (October 8). He was just 40 years old.


Welsh - who joined the band in 1998 following the departure of Matt Sharp but left several months after the release of their self-titled 2001 album following a nervous breakdown - was in Illinois to see his former bandmates perform at the RiotFest show the following day. Police say that emergency services responded to a call at the Raffaello Hotel in Chicago, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. Results of an autopsy will be revealed later this week.


"Mikey was planning on attending this show and we were looking forward to seeing him again," said Weezer in an official statement. "As sad as it is to think about, we know Mikey would never want the rock stopped on his account - quite the contrary in fact. While we won't see him, we know he will be there rocking out with us!


"When he emerged from his nervous breakdown that spelled his exit from the rock n' roll world, he took on a new role as an astonishing and pure visual artist. It was a glorious flowering of a talent he always possessed, but he had chosen to rock out first, paint later. We will miss him terribly. Our deepest heartfelt condolences go out to his family and friends. The world has lost a truly one of a kind guy."


Bizarrely, Welsh, who later pursued a career as an artist following his stint in Weezer, predicted his own death in a post on Twitter on September 26.
"[I] dreamt I died in Chicago next weekend (heart attack in my sleep)," he wrote. "Need to write my will today."

SWEET PIE OF MINE

Judging from his concert in Brazil Monday night, the band's frontman was almost unrecognizable as he took the stage at the Rock in Rio music festival. The 49-year-old appeared in front of the crowd wearing a bright yellow trench coat, black hat and dark shades in an attempt to hide his enlarged figure.

The rocker has gained a significant amount of weight in the last year, sparking concern among fans who first noticed his increasing size last January. 

Before the performance, Rose told fans he was concerned about the rain, and said, "Good evening... good morning! Please bear with us and give us a little second here to figure out what to do about not falling on our asses."

The band sang their classic favorites, "Sweet Child of Mine," "Live and Let Die," and "Welcome to the Jungle." Guns N' Roses will begin their new tour in Orlando October 28.

THE.BEST.SOCIAL.MEDIA.TRAMP.EVER

Wade Cothran, also known as The.Best.Roommate.Ever, reached overnight fame after posting an advert on Craigslist vulgarly specifying all his ‘virtues’ of being a great roomy in a pretty funny and over-the-top manner.

“Konichiwa bitches. Are you looking for the most kick-ass fucking roommate that ever lived? If so, look no further. You fucking found him. I'm a 25-year-old professional marketing agent with experience at bad-ass companies in New York Fucking City. That's right! What you know about experience? I graduated from Auburn University in Alabama, and moved to NYC at the ripe, tender age of 22. After deciding that New York was a stinky shit-hole, I moved back to Alabama to cultivate more professional experience. Why? So I can make millions of dollars and not have to post shit like this on Craigslist.

Anyway, so I landed this job with a marketing firm in San Francisco, and I have no fucking clue where to live. Honestly, I'm moving there in 3 weeks, so I don't give a shit if I have to sleep in your bathtub. “

He became an instant internet star.

But fame has its costs—in Cothran’s case, not one but two jobs. He got fired from the gig he was leaving in Alabama—no big loss—but also from the job he was taking in San Francisco. You know what? He hit the road anyway and arrived in San Francisco where a coterie of well-wishers greeted him.

Cothran, a professional social media marketer working for a larger marketing firm, understands why his personal social media campaign might irk both companies. 

“I totally understand why I was fired,” Cothran told the Daily Dot. “My post was vulgar and could make them look bad.”

Now Cothran, 25, is jobless and homeless—but it may be the best thing that ever happened to him.

He’s got an inbox full of “book proposals, radio interviews, television spots and job offers”—all as a result of the ad. 

But...going by his recent Facebook activity the professional marketer who proudly proclaims he will “consistently blow your fucking mind with awesomeness’ promotes himself as no more than a scrounging, potty-mouthed jackass - not the kindly guy who keeps on giving and expects nothing in return that his new found friends at the Daily Dot define him as.

It doesn’t surprise me that Hollywood’s own immature ejaculation Ashton Kutcher was the first celeb to give Cothran a cringeworthy shout-out via Twitter...like some sort of personal induction to the Brohood of Big Kids.

So what of this inbox full of “book proposals, radio interviews and job offers”? 

Well just five days ago Cothran made another quite lengthy post - one that took more effort than his daily updates of drinking Vodka at garages, eating ecstacy until the morning and advising people to “get fucked up” - it sounded a little more downbeat than his original  post that made him a ‘viral superstar’. 

“I've created a PayPal account at the request of some very kind people who want to see me succeed. A dollar or ten or anything will help. Just visit the link below if you can spare a few coins. Thanks to all that donate. Please send me your information, so I can show up to your house and cook you dinner.”

Well it seems Cothran has already broke a pretty important rule of marketing - earning and keeping people’s trust. 

Just one month after declaring in a self-written editorial for the San Francisco Egotist that he was just about to gloriously embark on his journey through an “all-u-can-eat pussy buffet” and admitting that he hadn’t broken any of his own rules in stating that “I have not become a reality television star, I have not endorsed a product that you don’t need and I am not asking you to donate or give me money. That’s not what this is about”, The.Best.Roommate.Ever is now literally begging YOU, while he sits Tweeting his nomadic ass off in YOUR comfy couch, to fund him while he has the time of his life drinking free beer from YOUR fridge, eating YOUR food (which he’ll kindly cook...wow) and basically being a new-age Social Media Tramp. Well fuck that for a packet of beef jerky.

It’s not that he embarrassed the San Franciscan marketing company he got fired from, or “made them blush” which he arrogantly admits in his childish smart-ass manner, it’s that he’s too naive to realize what they just don’t want...The.Worst.Fucking.Employee.Ever.

Sometimes it just ain’t advisable to market yourself to millions of people around the world that you’re actively pursuing the life of a drunk and a drug-taker while constantly degrading women and relishing the idea of living like a bum when you want to get ahead in the world of marketing. 

WINNING? ... not exactly
