Avril’s ugly new clothes are now at Kohl’s

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Avril has debuted her new clothing line for Kohls, called “Abbey Dawn”, and it’s SERIOUSLY ugly. The evidence, below:
Abbey Dawn Skull Hoodie

Yeah. Um, this hoodie is wrong on so many levels. The colors, the cap sleeves, the Hot-Topic-puked-all-over-me print…to add insult to injury, it retails for $40.

Abbey Dawn Suspenders Tee

This look says, “Why do suspenders have to be so complicated?” Heh, get it? “Complicated” is an Avril song! Anywhooo, this tee with suspenders screenprinted on them is $24.

Abbey Dawn Lightning Bolt Capris

Avril, WHAT THE HELL IS THIS??? Hot pink sweatpant capris with zippers? And, like, the title of a Herbie Hancock song screened down the leg? Barf. They’re $36, by the way.

Pricey Celebrities: $2 Million for Winehouse?

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Amy costs a mere $2 million to perform privatelyEveryone has a pricetag and anyone can be bought…if the price is right. 

HERE is a list of celebs you may want to perform at your birthday party or your kid’s graduation party…and what it’ll cost you.  (Remember to almost double the price when converting from pounds to US dollars.)

So if you want Amy Winehouse in your backyard, you’ll have to cough up $2 million, and it may go straight up her nose.  The Rolling Stones?  That’ll be over $7 million!!  And lots of your things WILL get broken.

For my next bash, I’m hiring Hall & Oates for $50.  They’ll even serve hor’dourves and cocktails to my guests!!  OK, I’m totally BS’ing.  Fun thought though.  -Tony

Seether and YOU Can Help the Suicidal

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Suicide isn’t a topic I’d typically throw out there for you to discuss, but Seether’s front man, Shaun Morgan, felt there was a strong need for teens to get help when they need it… and I agree.  Plus, this story has a silver lining, so stay with me here.   

Basically Shaun realized that kids weren’t getting the help they needed at a time when they needed it the most so along with Seether’s label- Wind Up Records- they set it up so you can watch the video for “Rise Above This” and when you do a donation to the Kids Help Phone will be made in your name. 

To help teens out click here.

Here’s how this all unfolded per Shaun… “As a test, I phoned the suicide line in the States, and after waiting five minutes I was put through to a very bored-sounding woman,” the singer explains. “So I just hung up the phone.

“It was just like, ‘Wow, if I had really been needing someone to talk to, that wouldn’t have been the person I’d want to turn to.’ I was kind of disgusted by that. I felt like I was bugging them, which is not how these kids should be feeling if they take the time to phone.

“But first of all, I figured that if I’m waiting that long, then that means there must be a lot of people calling. That in itself means that there’s a heavy need for these types of things, and there needs to be people who aren’t too busy to speak to kids, because it’s a pretty courageous step to even make that phone call. So basically, we decided we wanted to make a positive difference to kids, and if they visit our label’s website and watch the video, our company donates to the charity. It’s aimed at helping kids that are feeling vulnerable and scared and lonely, and hopefully having a website like that builds a community.” (The quotes were pulled from a story in Chart Attack from July 2nd.)
