Geek Girl Riot is bursting at the seams with great content—we chat with the cast of My Dad the Bounty Hunter, and get into the likes of Creed III, Cocaine Bear, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, and Daisy Jones and the Six.
Creed is the new Rocky sequel for real this time.
Get ready to square up, the second trailer for Creed II has officially dropped.
A Chicago judge has dismissed a class-action lawsuit against the band Creed, filed by four fans who attended the Orlando-based band’s concert in Chicago on December 29, 2002, according to the Orlando Sentinel. Jeff Hanson Management & Promotions, Inc., and concert promoter USA Interactive were also named as defendants. The suit, filed April 20 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, claimed that lead singer Scott Stapp “was so intoxicated and/or medicated that he was unable to sing the lyrics of a single Creed song.” The four plaintiffs were seeking a refund of their $55.50 ticket price and their… Read more »
Three months after four fans sued Creed alleging that Scott Stapp was so wasted he couldn’t perform at a December show in Chicago, the band’s singer has responded and denied the allegations. In fact, Stapp told the Orlando Sentinel on Monday that, quite to the contrary, he was offering an over-the-top, dramatic gesture meant to convey the difficulties he was facing in his personal life at the time. In a pair of lengthy voice mails the singer left with the paper, Stapp said that what fans mistook for him passing out onstage during the song “Who’s Got My Back” was… Read more »
Scott Stapp and humor hardly go hand in hand, but Joey Fatone is doing his best to change that. The ‘NSYNC singer is parodying Creed’s “Higher” on his upcoming comedy album. “I want to do ‘Can You Change My Tire?’ ” Fatone said Monday. “Just silly stuff, something stupid like that.” Creed are Fatone’s first victims outside of his own ‘NSYNC circle. He’s working on JC Chasez’s “Blowin’ Me Up (With Her Love)” and has already tackled Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me a River.” “I’m doing ‘Buy Me a Liver,’ about drinking too much alcohol,” he said. The as-yet-untitled album, which… Read more »
Can you take Scott Stapp “Higher”? No, say some disgruntled Creed fans, so they’re taking him to court. On Monday, a quartet of Creed faithful filed suit against the rock group, demanding their money back from a concert at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, outside Chicago on December 29. The concertgoers claim the performance was marked by a whole lot of booze and drugs but little rock ‘n’ roll. According to court documents, frontman Stapp “was so intoxicated and/or medicated that he was unable to sing the lyrics of a single Creed song.” The four plaintiffs, Philip and Linda Berenz… Read more »
Dashboard Confessional and Jack Johnson played acoustic, and Beck and Coldplay celebrated Christmas, but otherwise KROQ-FM’s annual Almost Acoustic Christmas was a two-day, 20-act festival all about rocking. And the sold-out event was certainly crammed with rock and roll moments, particularly the announced live debut of Audioslave (they played a secret club show the night before), and an amusing rendition of “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” orchestrated by Beck and the Flaming Lips and featuring Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Dashboard Confessional’s Chris Carrabba, Johnson and a horribly off-key Juliette Lewis. (Click here for photos from the show.) Audioslave were the talk… Read more »
Eminem, Faith Hill, and Creed are among the artists nominated in the music categories for the 29th annual People’s Choice Awards, taking place in Pasadena, California on January 12.

Meanwhile, rockers Creed will battle the country trio the Dixie Chicks and teen pop giants *NSYNC for favorite musical group or band. People’s Choice nominees are determined by the public via polling by the Gallup Organization.… Read more »
Word has surfaced that the ex-wife of Creed’s Scott Stapp was arrested earlier this month for aggravated battery with a weapon after she hit the famed rocker in the face with a cell phone during an argument in the bedroom of his Orlando, Florida home. Hillaree Stapp “picked up a cell phone and punched [Scott] with it across his left side of his face” with enough force to cause his head to “jerk to the right,” according to a report filed by the Orange Country (Florida) Sheriff’s Office. The incident took place on November 14 as the pair discussed “the… Read more »
