Four For Friday - Bits And Pieces
#1 - This A- list actress who all of you know and has a LOT going on in her life right now has her PR team going full effect in tabloid commenting systems defending the actress and trashing the most recent public ex of the former significant other of the actress.
#2 - At a huge charity concert held in the past few weeks there was some big drama. Great folks all the way around, fun times back stage. What is interesting is there was a lot of chatter backstage about another iconic band whose members were invited to join in on stage with the band too. One member of that band is a total a-hole and was making diva-like demands, so it didn't happen. Too bad because it would have been cool. What is more pathetic is that these guys could have used the boost since most of them have had a lot of money woes, including tax problems and have a concert coming up that they can't give away tickets to... some of these idiots just can't get out of the way of their own egos.
#3 - There is drama about a statue for the deceased rocker. There is currently a conflict between a couple of the charities involved, the widow and a local government. Apparently the widow wants the city to pony up $$ to find a permanent place for the statue and to maintain it. The latest gossip is that the government does not want to get involved in another public facing effort that involves money (i.e. a statue) that will bring any criticism upon them. It wasn't like the rocker necessarily expressed adoration for this city, but he also did what he was told, at least for a while.
