30 years ago, Spandau Ballet debuted at the Festival Della Canzone in San Remo, Italy, and they’re back for more. We always remember the group as a bunch of designer-clad pretty boys. After years of squabbling, their sons talked them into getting back together. Martin Kemp, Tony Hadley, Gary Kemp, Steve Norman and John Keeble patched up their differences and are performing together again. Below, watch their “True” video.
We happened upon this photo of Marilyn Manson as a teenager (real name Brian Warner) and felt it was too fascinating NOT to share. Imagine that! Blonde, fluffy almost Farrah Fawcett hair, and a mustache! Manson admitted to Rolling Stone that he actually had some plastic surgery when he was a teen. It was his mother’s idea. She thought his earlobes were too long and she had them nipped. Presumably he was then free to sweep his hair back and create a new look for himself.
We were delighted to see that Bravo’s Andy Cohen agrees with us on the subject of Madonna and her choices. Why Madonna brings out the WORST in the online haters is a mystery. We LOVE that Madonna has the courage NOT to dress like everyone else on red carpets. Andy also enjoys her originality in a sea of celebrities who are afraid to be different. Most unpleasant are the WOMEN who pick on Madonna for being “too old” to wear this or do that. Hey, lighten up. She’s a popstar and has a great body, why not play it to the hilt? As Andy says “She’s Madonna. Let her keep being Madonna. Don’t take that away.”
