Iggy Pop marked his 60th birthday on Saturday just like any other respectable senior citizen would. The eerily athletic “Godfather of Punk” stripped down to a tight pair of blue jeans and dived off the stage into the arms of his adoring fans during a concert in San Francisco with his reunited band the Stooges. Towards the end of the 80-minute show, the crowd at the Warfield theater sang along as his bandmates struck up “Happy Birthday,” and Pop was surprised as balloons bearing his image dropped from the ceiling. A fan also handed him a white T-shirt inscribed “Birthday… Read more »

A federal judge has dismissed a multimillion dollar lawsuit claiming Beach Boys memorabilia, including handwritten lyrics and rare photos, were stolen from storage. U.S. District Judge Manuel Real ruled last week the group’s company, Brother Records, failed to prove allegations that Roy A. Sciacca, Allen Gaba and Gem System Inc. “stole, misappropriated or otherwise improperly, wrongfully or illegally acquired any property.” The Beach Boys said they had stored musical instruments, original sheet music, charts, photos, contracts and other valuable pieces of memorabilia in Gaba’s warehouse.

There are actors who sing and singers who act, but throughout pop history few entertainers have successfully balanced those twin careers. Neither could Hilary Duff, though not due to lack of effort. While her career as a pop diva skyrocketed – she released two platinum albums and a best-selling greatest-hits disc in just three years – the former Disney child star found her acting career stalling. Despite her considerable star wattage, Hollywood had difficulty seeing Duff beyond her past sugary sweet roles and good girl persona (no rehab or pantyless partying here). “It always shocks me the lack of openness,… Read more »

A Hempfield Area High School sophomore spent 12 days in juvenile detention after authorities in Westmoreland County mistakenly charged him with making a March 11 bomb threat, in part because the district had not changed its clocks to reflect daylight-saving time. Cody Webb, 15, of Hempfield, was arrested March 12 and charged with a felony count of threatening to use weapons of mass destruction and misdemeanor counts of making false alarms to public entities, reckless endangerment, disorderly conduct and making terrorist threats. Webb, an honors student involved in student council, tennis and the Japanese Club, was immediately taken to the… Read more »

Mel B welcomed her second child this week, with the healthy birth of a baby girl in Los Angeles. The as-yet-unnamed infant “is completely healthy with a good head of hair,” Brown’s spokesperson commented. “No name has been decided on as yet, and she is purely known as Baby Brown.” The former Spice Girl, who has chosen to focus on acting in recent years after her solo career flopped, faces a paternity battle with her former boyfriend, Hollywood star Eddie Murphy, after he very publicly declared the child might not be his. “Now you’re being presumptuous because we’re not together… Read more »

What’s up with all the different versions of Avril in her new video? Or, for that matter, Christina, Ciara and Beyoncé? Everywhere you look, it seems some pop diva has replicated herself so she’s the star of her clip several times over. Multiple versions are nothing new – Mariah and Madonna are old pros by now – but the idea has been spreading like a video virus, with Avril and others just the latest to be infected. It got us to thinking – are they copying themselves or someone else? Avril Lavigne’s “Girlfriend” Avril Lavigne gets to have it both… Read more »
