Rolling Stone's List of Meltdowns and Blowups

Along with all the lists of the top songs and albums of the decade, Rolling Stone has made an entertaining list of artists' shenanigans that stood out the most over the past 10 years. The list is long (surprised? of course not), but here are my personal favorites:

• Ashley Simpson's lip syncing on Saturday Night Live and avoiding an awkward moment by doing a jig

• Madonna adopts an orphan that wasn't really orphaned

• A bald Britney Spears attacks a papa-paparazzi car with an umbrella-ella-ella

• Brett Michaels gets nailed by part of the stage set during a performance at the Tonys. I'm wondering why he'd be so upset and embarrassed by that after Rock of Love one AND two.


• Metallica sues Napster

• Mariah Carey pops in on TRL and goes a little nuts with an ice cream truck.

• Madonna and Brittney girl-on-girl and Adam Lambert's boy-on-boy award show performances


• And of course, the Kanye vs. Taylor incident. He appeared on the Jay Leno Show afterward, where Leno asks him what his mother would think if she were with us - a little harsh, even for Kanye.


What would we do without entertainers?

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Turns 25


For all of you who missed it, this is a must see concert. On November 29th HBO presented a two day concert in Madison Square Garden in celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. This year Jeff Beck and Metallica were inducted. Many legends including Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Stevie Wonder, Simon & Garfunkel, U2, Metallica, and even Ozzy Osbourne made an appearance singing “Iron Man” with  Metallica.

This generation of music is before my time, but I still recognize all of these artists as creating masterpieces of their time. All I can say is that I was completely captivated as I watched this:
