It’s official: the second season of “Rock Star” will suck.

June 29, 2006 /

Okay, maybe it won’t the suckiest piece of suck that ever sucked, but this story leads me to suspect otherwise.

Instead of finding a band whose lead singer has died or even left the building with no intentions of returning, the big brains at CBS have created a band. It consists of…

Tommy Lee (Motley Crue) on drums.
Jason Newsted (Metallica) on bass.
Gilby Clarke (Guns ‘N’ Roses) on guitar.

I’m not saying that this trio of metal legends don’t rock hard individually. They might even rock hard individually. But this can only lead to the contestants vying to win the honor of fronting the band – called Supernova, by the way – performing really, really shitty covers of hard rock songs…and I just don’t have the stomach for that.

Unfortunately, I have this horrible feeling that middle America does…and that’s the unkindest cut of all.

Almost as impressive as the return of Dr. Noah Drake

June 29, 2006 /

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of one of the most monumental moments in the history of soap operas – or as I like to call them, “my stories” – Genie Francis is returning to “General Hospital” to play Laura Spencer.

Actually, I’d never seen a single episode of the show until earlier this year, when my wife watched Rick Springfield make his dramatic return to the show, but even as an 11-year-old, I remember all the hoopla when Luke and Laura got married.

Francis has left the show on several occasions, most recently in 2002; at that time, her character has suffered a mental breakdown after she killed her father, and she’s been living at a psychiatric hospital in a catatonic state…as far as you know.

No word yet on what the plot will involve, but it’s fair to presume that, at the very least, Laura gets better.

Say goodbye to Lenny Weinrib

June 29, 2006 /

And try to do it before you ask, “Who’s Lenny Weinrib?” It’ll mean more that way.

If you don’t know who Lenny Weinrib is, however, suffice it to say that you’d know his voice more than his face…so here are a few of the animated / costumed characters who had the good fortune to speak with Weinrib’s assistance. And we’ve saved the worst for last, so try not to hold that one against him…even though I know you will, since I kind of do, too.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…

Kate Moss has been reinstated as spokesmodel for for conservative British fashion house Burberry following allegations of cocaine abuse.

Despite having disgraced herself and, by association, the many fashion brands in whose ads she has appeared, Supermodel Kate Moss will appear in the fall/winter campaign for Burberry.

Said a Burberry spokesman, “She seemed a natural fit for our new line of ski wear…after all, when people think of snow, they think of Kate Moss.”

And besides, a new Burberry coat costs about as much as a bag of high-quality blow…so there’s clearly some target-audience synergy going on there.

Wolverine spins off

June 28, 2006 /

It doesn’t matter if that last X-Men movie sucked. Hugh Jackman’s gonna star in a Wolverine spin-off feature. Did the studios say, “OK, we didn’t do so hot with out third X-Men, so let’s dump some more money into something that will make even less”? You gotta hand it to the industry, though. They know how to totally waste their money and fans’ time over and over again. Perhaps they should just do a straight-to-video flick, or better yet, try a TV series on FOX that can get cancelled after three weeks.
