BON JOVI TO PLAY FREE SHOW IN CENTRAL PARK 

New York City officials say Bon Jovi will play at a free concert in Central Park this summer. The concert will be held July 12th. The concert is billed as a prelude to the July 15th All-Star baseball game, which will highlight the final season at Yankee Stadium.  FUCK!  I knew I should have waited a little while before leaving.  

They better hire some security for the hair.  When rockers get older, their hair starts losing the softness.  It turns to straw.  And the fucking birds fight for that shit.  To you and I just frizz.  To the Central Park birds, it's like some of the best housing material God ever made.

CELEBS IN REHAB AREN'T DOING IT RIGHT 

Hollywood has a serious drug problem, and isn't committing the time it takes to fix it, according to Dr. Drew. Drew Pinsky, host of radio's Love Line and VH1's Celebrity Rehab, said not only are substances plentiful and socially acceptable in most celebrity circles, but stars who seek treatment often opt for abbreviated programs in exclusive environments. Drew says, "If you had cancer, you would drop everything," he says. "You would take whatever time it needed to do the treatment and do what it takes to get out on the other side. Here's a disease that is more dangerous, and we can't get people to take three months."  Come on Drew!!  Wake up and smell the Pinskey!!  They are not their to get help.  If they wanted help, they wouldn't have waited for you to give it to them on T.V.  They want camera time...at any cost!!  They want to be a celebrity period.  That's their real addiction...the attention.  And the addiction is so bad, they don't care if the shit that's being said about them is negative...as long as it's something.

IS EDDIE MURPHY RETIRING? 

Is Eddie Murphy retiring from filmmaking? He told Extra, "I have close to fifty movies and it's like, why am I in the movies? I've done that part now. I'll go back to the stage and do stand-up." He may not be joking. There were rumors recently of Eddie starring in Beverly Hills Cop 4, but he says, "The movie wasn't ready to be done."

I have an idea!!!  Why don't you do a movie...where it's you co-starring with yourself?  Yeah!  Like Eddie Murphy playing all of the characters...oh you did that?  That's right, I remember...48 of you 50 movies were done like that.

WILL SMITH'S NEW SCHOOL NOT A SCIENTOLOGIST SCHOOL 

Despite a close friendship with Scientologist's most-famous follower, Tom Cruise, Will Smith isn't a Scientologist and the private school he's opening isn't Scientologist, either. Will and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, are starting the New Village Academy, due to open in September, and while some of the teachers are Scientologists and a few of the teaching methods are based on the religion, the academy's director insists that the school has no ties to any religion.  That's weird that celebrities want to build their own schools.  Can't Oprah and Will donate their money to schools that are struggling??

JENNIFER LOPEZ IS A CHANGED WOMAN 

It might seem like Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony’s twins live in a nursery with over-the-top accommodations, but the family continues to live a lower-maintenance lifestyle. Us Weekly reports that the Lopez and Anthony might still be wrapping 4-month-old Max and Emme in $100 Melissa Masse blankets, but they’re doing so without the help of nannies. The magazine confirmed with Lopez’s rep that the couple is still without outside help, even while traveling a

broad. A Lopez confidant also told Us, "The whole 75-pieces-of-Louis-Vuitton-luggage thing is just not happening now. ... Being a mother has completely changed Jennifer."

A source says that before the twins were born, Lopez had picked up a strange travel habit. "Not even the first-class lounge was good enough for her. She kept slipping into a door inside the lounge, so people thought it was like a special VIP area," said a traveler who witnessed the behavior on many occasions.

Whatever.  I just saw a TV show on VH1 that showed how these celebs. all travel...it's fucking di

sgusting!!  They have to have entire floors rented out, special chefs flown in to prepare their food, servants that aren't allowed to look at them, etc.. GARBAGE!!  There is a little justice in all of this.  Everything that Jenifer has touched lately has been a flop.  She can not sell a record any more and her films make NO money.  I, on the other hand, am exploding on the internet...where I average about 12 comments a day.....thank you very much!!

MADONNA AND BASEBALL PLAYER TAKING RUN 'ROUND THE BASES? 

The new issue of OK! magazine contains a story that slugger Alex Rodriguez and singer Madonna are (maybe) having an affair. "Madonna and A-Rod -- Sexy New Friends," reads the headline.  Do you think her crabs munch on his genital warts?

====================================================================

MADONNA'S BROTHER'S PLANNED REALITY SHOW 

Madonna's brother is set to further embarrass the pop star by reportedly planning a reality TV show based on his life as her sibling. It was announced last month that Christopher Ciccone is writing a tell-all memoir about the superstar, to be published without her permission. And now Ciccone is allegedly shopping around a show that will focus on the fact he's her brother. A source tells New York gossip column Page Six, "He hasn't gotten a deal yet, but he's been pitching it around."

NEW MILK JUG DESIGN COMING 

A change to the design of the gallon milk jug, adopted by Wal-Mart, Sam's and Costco, seems made for the times. The jugs are cheaper to ship and better for the environment, the milk is fresher when it arrives in stores, and it costs less. But the jugs are turning out to be no-so-popular with consumers. For one thing, the jugs have no real spout, so people are spilling. But the redesign of the gallon milk jug, experts say, is an example of the changes likely to play out in the American economy over the next two decades. In an era of soaring global demand and higher costs for energy and materials, virtually every aspect of the economy needs to be re-examined, they say, and many products must be redesigned for greater efficiency.  I'll go with this one.  Now you see where the idea for tonight's contest came from.

NASCAR FANS FEELING THE PINCH OF HIGH GAS PRICES 

Many NASCAR fans think nothing of jumping in their recreational vehicles or pickup trucks and driving 300 miles or more to watch races in places like Talladega, Alabama; Bristol, Tennessee; and Las Vegas. But rising gasoline prices are forcing them to make tough choices. "The higher fuel prices have hit them hard," said Roger VanDerSnick of International Speedway Corp, one of two major publicly owned race track companies. "We pull from such a huge geographical area." NASCAR has been one of the fastest growing sports in the U.S., boasting a fan base of about 75 million. But its largely blue-collar fan base is feeling the pinch. While several tracks still sell out, others have seen crowds shrink.

A GATHERING OF ELIZABETHS

 About 400 women turned up in Elizabeth, Illinois, on Saturday to try to set a world record for the largest gathering of people with that name. Women with Elizabeth in any part of their name were allowed to participate in the event. The event drew women from more than 20 states. An organizer said, "'We did invite Queen Elizabeth II, but she politely declined."  Do you find that most Liz's are hot, ugly, skinny, bitchy???

CAR ACCESSORIES YOU MAYBE DIDN’T KNOW EXISTED

With many states enacting bans on hand-held cell phones, the Bluetooth has become the new favorite gadget among drivers. Some cars have built-in hands-free devices, but quirky technology is nothing new:

Automatic Lit Cigarette Dispenser -- As a "safety" item, this was an aftermarket accessory designed to eliminate the distractions of lighting a cigarette while motoring down the road. This option was unveiled in the late 1940s and in one application was attached to a steering wheel.

Highway Hi-Fi (basically a turntable) -- This option was developed in 1955 and was offered as an option on 1956 Chrysler models. The drawback was in the performance of the record player while encountering the smallest of bumps, slamming on the brakes or taking a fast corner!

Destroilet -- An optional "Destroilet" gas incinerator-type toilet was available for early 1960s Dodge motor homes, which was meant to simplify waste disposal. After use, when the top lid was closed, a small, thick metal lid would also close over the well at the bottom. A jet of burning gas would incinerate the solid waste and vaporize the liquid. A chimney to the outdoors carried the vapors away.

Electric Shaver -- An electric shaver that was powered by a vehicle's electrical system was developed by aftermarket automotive suppliers in the 1940s, and was an available factory option for a 1957 Chevrolet.

Steam Pressure Cooker -- This accessory mounted to the rear bumper to cook food while motoring down the road. It routed exhaust gases through the inner chambers of the cooker to provide the heat to cook the food.

Steering Wheel Watch -- In 1958 a steering wheel mounted watch for was available on DeSotos.

Trafficators -- Back in the days before flashing turn signals, a driver would flip a switch on the dash and a lit semaphore arm would swing out of a panel on the appropriate side of the car and signal the driver's intention to turn.

Swivel Seats -- These seats, available on a 1959 Chrysler, would automatically swivel out as the door opened to make it easier for the passenger to exit the automobile.

Talking Car -- In the early 1980s, the Chrysler LeBaron literally talked. It would say phrases such as "Your door is ajar," "All monitored systems functioning," and if you listened to the command of "Please fasten your seatbelt," it would promptly reply with "Thank you!" The cars with a taped voice were produced for only three years before Chrysler discovered that consumers didn't care for a car talking back to them.
