Talk about bad luck following Hawthorne Heights around!

I was thrilled when I found out they were coming to San Francisco and playing at Slims (November 2005). But just days before their scheduled show, their friends/tour mates were in a car accident and the drummer was killed. Rightfully  so, they cancelled the show at Slim's.  Yeah, I understand why but I was definitely bummed.

Lucky me, after waiting two years, Hawthorne Heights is scheduled for an appearance! Tickets acquired and it's marked on my calendar....

But today I read a sad article announcing their guitarist Casey Calvert was found dead on their tour bus on Saturday. I don't know any other specifics.

It's sad. Very sad.
I was never meant to see Hawthorne Heights live.

"Randy is very excited to embark on a promising career in acting, as well as spending more time with his wife and family. He's currently shooting a lead role in Universal's "The Scorpion King - The Rise of the Akkadian" in South Africa, and has more offers on the table.

His heart will always belong to the sport, and I doubt he will wander too far away from it, but it was a matter of respect and Randy felt the need to move on." Source

Rumor is he's leaving because the UFC was unable to get Fedor Emelianenko under contract to fight Randy.

Randy (16-8 MMA, 13-5 UFC) is one of the most decorated fighters in MMA history and the only athlete to ever hold the UFC’s heavyweight and light-heavyweight titles. The former All-American wrestler has competed in 15 title fights in his 24-fight career.

It's a sad day for the UFC and the MMA as a sport. He'll definitely go down in history as a fighting legend.

USWeekly is reporting (and I'm re-reporting):

Lindsay Lohan has checked herself into rehab.  Apparently the AA meetings she's been attending haven't been enough?

Here's the statement: "I have made a proactive decision to take care of my personal health," Lohan tells Us Weekly through her rep, Leslie Sloane-Zelnick. "I appreciate your well-wishes and ask that you please respect my privacy at this time."

It's not a laughing matter. I hope (and I'm sure so does every Vodka manufacturer) she makes a full recovery and hits LA's hot spots soon.  With her undergarments on of course.

Bottoms up Linds! Good luck.

The rumor on the street is that Britney Spears is once again preggers...

I don't believe it frankly.

But isn't it sad that US Weekly has a story where this is actually up for debate. And her Manager goes on record and denies the story.

From US Weekly:

Britney Spears' manager, Larry Rudolph, tells Us Weekly exclusively that "Britney is not pregnant," calling a recent tabloid report claiming that Spears is expecting "absurd."

Rudolph tells Us that he believes that the "ridiculous" report came from an incident last week in which Spears' new boyfriend, Isaac Cohen, accidentally wiped peanut butter on his t-shirt while in the company of Spears. Observers wrongly concluded she had vomited, and thus was experiencing morning sickness.

"Because Isaac didn't lick the peanut butter off his fingers, someone decided that it must not be peanut butter, but must instead be Briney's vomit," Rudolph joked. "Ridiculous."

A source tells Us that Spears spent last night working on her upcoming album with Pharrell in an L.A. recording studio.

Wow, it's a good thing this crazy woman wasn't my mom when I was a kid. I could NEVER wait for Christmas.

And every year was the same thing...

My parents would wrap presents and put them under the tree. My sister and I would unwrap the gifts. Play with them or try them on. Then re-wrap them. Horribly, I must add.

I think my parents knew this and only put a few gifts under the tree PRIOR to Christmas so we had some things to be surprised about.

But a 12 year old boy in Rock Hill,  South Carolina couldn't wait either and ended up going to jail! Apparently his mother and grandmother forbid him to unwrap the gift. They left and when they came back, the package was unwrapped and the box was empty. When they asked him about it he denied it at first. Then they said they were going to call the police. He finally confessed and gave the Nintendo Game Boy Advance back. She still continued to call the police and when they showed up, the mother told them to arrest the boy.

He was charged with petty larceny.

Poor kid... who'd want a Nintendo Game Boy Advance? What? No Wii in stock?

Okay, so you may recall my Bob Dylan post. (and no I was not kidding). But many of you provided me with a lot of knowledge and managed to spare me the "Oh my God how do you NOT know who he is" speech. Well except for Mena.

Now I may have to suffer through an Eric Clapton concert.

I know he sings that song... something about "Here In Heaven".

Krissy has just informed me of a few other tidbits about him.

• He had a son die at an early age. Apparently this is what triggered a few of his songs. (makes sense)
• He dated Sheryl Crow (who hasn't)
• He's a legend (no wonder I don't know who he is).

Next thing you know The Who will be touring and I'll have to find out more about them....
