JULIETTE LEWIS: WORST DRESSED ONSTAGE?

Like Johnny Depp, Juliette Lewis seems to vastly prefer being a rock star over being a movie star. Both act mainly to pay the bills. Juliette’s singing is WAY better than her onstage fashion however. She usually wear some kind of tacky spandex outfit – not sexy, but oddly unfashionable and unflattering. Lately she’s been singing with a heavy metal band as well as The Licks. We wonder if all the band members are Scientologists like she is. Above, she performed this week at The Linq in Las Vegas.

Bobby Cannavale HBO Martin Scorsese Rock'n'Roll

HBO’S HISTORY OF ROCK N ROLL IN NEW YORK

Martin Scorsese is directing what looks to be a VERY interesting series pilot for HBO. It’s an untitled rock n roll project that takes place in 1970’s New York (the Max’s Kansas City era.) Punk and disco were both breaking out and Bobby Cannavale (in the car, above) plays a record executive scrambling to resurrect his label with a new sound. Ray Romano is his outspoken co-worker. Lots of drugs, sex, hot clubs, and gangsters – even some Warhol characters. Mick Jagger is one of the producers and his son James has a role in the series. Andrew Dice Clay plays a bad guy. This was a great time in the city – and young people could actually afford to live there!

American Bandstand Dick Clark Rock'n'Roll Thanks for the Memories

DICK CLARK’S AMERICAN BANDSTAND GAVE US OUR FIRST LOOK AT ROCK N ROLL

Our fondest memories of the late Dick Clark were in glorious black and white. His American Bandstand, which was on TV after school every day, rocked everybody’s world. We all heard rock n’ roll on the radio but rarely got a chance to SEE the performers – from Fabian to Conway Twitty to Chubby Checker. (There was no MTV in those days) Clark was a huge influence in the world of rock n’ roll. We learned the latest dance moves watching his show and got ideas for haircuts and fashion. His original TV show from Philadelphia taught kids how to be teenagers. Thanks for the memories Dick Clark!

Update: Love this quote from from the Los Angeles Times: “Dick Clark chaperoned American youth on their first date with rock n roll.”

Hair! Kesha Rock'n'Roll Style

KESHA HEAD STUDS: NOT AS AGGRESSIVE AS THEY LOOK

Kesha got our attention with her Glamour makeunder a few weeks ago- now she wants her mojo back. After shaving the side of her head, she had over 25 gold studs applied in the area. It LOOKS startling – especially to parents- but actually the studs are quite temporary and harmless. Nothing is punctured or permanent – they are GLUED on and easily removed. Considerably less invasive than a tattoo or piercing. Kesha is getting plenty of cluck for her buck.

Fashion Gavin Rossdale Gwen Stefani Kingston Rossdale Rock'n'Roll Rockstar

KINGSTON ROSSDALE IS FIVE AND ALREADY A SLAVE TO FASHION

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

Kids who grow up in a rock star family can’t help it – they just might inherit their parents’ ideas about fashion. Kingston Rossdale, 5, already fusses about his hair styles and loves to pick out his own clothes. As a result he looks like an English rock star. His mom Gwen Stefani is a pop star and a successful designer with collections for both adults and kids, so she gives her boys plenty of options. Daddy, Gavin Rossdale, IS an English rock star, so Kingston has no shortage of inspiration. We love his plaid pants with the Chesterfield blazer and vest.

Hair! Motley Crue Rock of Ages Rock'n'Roll Russell Brand Tommy Lee

RUSSELL BRAND IS NO TOMMY LEE

Top Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

What’s wrong with this picture? Russell Brand is playing a n 80’s pop star in “Rock of Ages” and he’s dressed up in torn jeans and suspenders, at vintage t- shirt and rockstar wig, and he almost reminds one of Tommy Lee(top right) in his heyday as a member of Motley Crue. Except one thing is wrong – rockers didn’t have facial hair like that – they had smooth babyfaces and were more likely than not to wear lipstick!

His partner in the two man band is Zach Shields – they met in Canada in 2005 when they were dating sisters. (Rachel McAdams and her sister Kayleen)

Affairs Bisexual Cheater Drugs Rock'n'Roll

bisexual rocker

This rockin’ young couple’s marriage is in big trouble but not for the obvious reasons. The cute wife has been seen out and about with a Hollywood hipster and her husband is looking to beat the guy up. Actually the hipster is NOT fooling around with the wife – he’s just providing drugs and fun. In reality the wife is secretly cheating with someone else- specifically her lookalike female assistant! She recently decided she’s bisexual.

Drugs Liar, Liar! Rock'n'Roll

This rock star claims to be many things – he says he’s a devout Christian, a vegan, and a complete teetotaler – no alcohol, no drugs. But he does have a weakness for pretty woman. One of his former pretty women says he’s a BIG FAKE. She claims that not only does he eat meat and NOT live by Christian values, but he’s a hardcore pill-popper and a member of Narcotics Anonymous. His current girlfriend isn’t complaining – she’s a cokehead and compulsive liar herself.
