WHATEVER HAPPENED TO MARILYN?

Boy George’s feminine best friend Marilyn stirred up quite a furor a few years back when he declared that Gavin Rossdale was “the love of my life” – they had a drug fueled five year fling back in the 80’s. Marilyn says he was a miserable heroin addict for 20 years but is now reformed. He and George remained friends through thick and thin, and now Boy George has produced a comeback single for his old pal. Interestingly, Marilyn has ditched the long hair and makeup and looks like a man now. He’s billed on the record as “Mister Marilyn.”

NINA HAGEN: STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!

And that’s a GOOD thing. Nina Hagen celebrated the 45th anniversary of her eventful career in London and proved she‘s still got what it takes. The German born singer /songwriter was a huge underground favorite in the late 70’s and 80’s years of punk and new wave. (She earned the title “Godmother of Punk”) Her theatrical attire and extravagant – sometimes operatic- vocalizations made her infamous. We remember back in the 80’s, we had a yard sale with friends and were thrilled when Nina stopped by to shop! She picked out the most outrageous clothes she could find and we were happy to see our stuff have a second life with her.
