So our resident Heidi Klum doppelganger, my dear friend Joy, is headed to Las Vegas this weekend with her hubby to see her favorite band of all time, Aerosmith, who are playing there tonight! 

Funny enough, Lainey mentioned Aerosmith being in Vegas as well:

Am looking forward to watching drunk rocker babes throw down on the Strip this weekend.

Ahem.  We are looking at you, Joy

Luckily I was able to mention this because there is some other Aerosmith related news circulating this morning.  Apparently, Steven Tyler is in talks to become a judge on American Idol.  Cool.  Random but cool.  Also rumored to be on the new season is Jennifer Lopez.  Can you imagine these two together?  Please.  There won’t be enough room for both their egos.  And what the heck does J-Lo know about singing anyways?  Should be entertaining though.

Tanya: Funny you mention this because just this morning when I saw that Jennifer Lopez was going to be a judge I thought to myself ” who cares who judges this crap?” I guess I have my answer.

Want to hear Juliette Lewis rock out? Tonight is your chance! Juliette Lewis and her band (not sure who she’s touring with right now) will be playing in Calgary tonight at the Republik. Doors are at 8:30pm and tickets are $25, you can get them online here.

FYI – Juliette Lewis is also doing an animated flick called Metropiawith Alexander Skarsgard. As tempted as I was to post a pic of Juliette Lewis with blue hair and being all crazy, the pic was Askars won out.

Stacey: Juliette Lewis is awesome.  Totally insane, but also totally awesome.  Did you know that she dated Brad Pitt.  Ya, seems weird right?

PS.  Is this also a photo for The Case Against Alex Skarsgard?

Well, peeps.  Its that time of the year for the Calgary Stampede.  Time for everyone to throw their morals to the wind, drink their faces off, eat way too many pancake breakfasts, and take in the fun entertainment that is brought in. 

Every year, there is normally a few good bands that you can check out on the Coca Cola Stage.  And some good bands usually come to the Saddledome.  For example, this year Bon Jovi is playing.  For me, that’s a big fat “meh”. 

But who I am going to see tonight has me so excited I am literally almost peeing my pants.  LYNYRD FREAKIN’ SKYNYRD!  Woohoo!  I pretty much grew up listening to this band.  And while the original singer and 3 other band members died in a plane crash in 1977, they reformed in 1991 with Ronnie Van Zant’s younger brother Johnny Van Zant as the singer and have been together, releasing albums, and touring ever since. 

So in honor of how freaking awesome they are, I thought I would post one of their most famous songs, Freebird.  Which, interstingly enough was the 2nd most radio played song of the 70′s, only behind Stairway to Heavan.

Geeze. This is the best I have seen Madonna look in ages.

What?  You mean, this isn’t Madonna? Are you sure?  Because I could swear that this is a picture from her Cherish video.

Oh.  Its Lady Gaga.  Looking almost exactly like Madonna.  Again.  Has anyone noticed how she seems to be taking inspiration/ripping off a lot of Madge’s old looks?  I am sure its totally coincidental but I can’t help but notice the similarities.   I guess she could be considered our generation’s Madonna.  In the long run, though, I think Madonna’s music will stand the test of time.  Eventually, Gaga will fade away.  But that’s just my opinion.

Is it just me or does anyone else see it too?

Tanya: Totally see it. And now I have “Cherish” stuck in my head. Thanks LaLa.

Some people with too much time on their hands got together and made the entire Twilight series into a music video. It’s kinda funny, but it’s kinda awkward too. Is it worth the time? Well, it’s 3:50 on Wednesday afternoon so you’re probably not working anyway, so why not?

Oh Prince:

Unlike most other rock stars, he has banned YouTube and iTunes from using any of his music and has even closed down his own official website.

“The internet’s completely over. I don’t see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won’t pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they can’t get it. The internet’s like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can’t be good for you.”

This is where Prince seems to lack foresight: He is releasing a new album called 20TEN on CD format, for free, only in the UK. So if you’re here in North America you can’t get it, which means you’ll be turning to the internet to find a download. By trying to proclaim the death of the internet, Prince has succeeded in establishing it as the way of music life. Ooops!

Now before you roll your eyes and pass this over I need to tell you how awesome this video it.  My brother was at my house one day and showed it to me.  Now I, like you, was extremely sceptical.  He definitely got the side eye when he told me what it was.  I mean, how can you do Billie Jean on an acoustic guitar?  And more importantly, why would you?  Because Billie Jean is probably the most over played MJ song ever.  But this guy totally blew me away.  It is amazing and you should take the 5 minutes to watch it.  Check it out below.

Hil-freekin-larious!

Some California Gays redo Katy Perry’s California Gurls. Check it out:

Stacey: My hubby and I watched this together.  Too freakin’ funny.  But Katy’s is still better.  How can you beat cupcake boobs?  You can’t.

We can now add Vince Neil to the growing list of celebrity morons who get behind the wheel after drinking.  Vince was arrested on suspicion of a DUI in Vegas.  And apparently, this isn’t his first issue with this.

I saw Motley Crue in Calgary a few years back.  And honestly, it was terrbile.  Vince was a drunk mess and could barely sing.  I guess not much has changed.

And can we official make it illegal for aging, fat, has-been rock stars to wear leather pants please?  Ick!

Who the heck is that greasy, nasty ass guy with Faith Hill and Sandra Bullock?

What?  Thats Time McGraw?  It can’t be!  He is normally so handsome.

That photo of him is horrifying!  Now, thats what someone looks like when they come off a three day coke bender.  Relax, peeps, I am not saying he did, I am just saying he looks like he did.

Tanya: Yikes! Tim McGraw looks like a mess. Maybe he just finished a concert and is sweaty and tired from the effort he put in…
