CHECK THIS OUT!!! "Quaid’s ‘Star Whackers’ song makes world debut in Vancouver
Randy Quaid screamed through the world premiere of his song Star Whackers at a Vancouver club Friday night, a conspiracy theory anthem whose content did not stray much from expectations, given its title and the recent, bizarre history of its writer.
“I’m talking about whackers,” Quaid screeched into the microphone during a late-night two-song set at The Commodore Ballroom. “Those cheesy star whackers!”
The song referenced the tabloid outlet TMZ, murder disguised as suicide (the victim hanged in the closet), and star whackers disposing of their victims’ organs online.
“When you’re good and dead and have no say,” he bellowed, “they’ll sell you by the organs on eBay.” (Though at times it was difficult to decipher the exact lyrics.)
Dressed all in black, and performing with four musicians he called The Fugitives, Quaid told the audience his compositions were inspired by his much-publicized troubles.
“These songs are about experiences my wife and I have been going through for the past few months.”
Quaid – a once prolific and Oscar-nominated actor – and his wife Evi Quaid arrived in Vancouver last October. Arrested here on outstanding warrants for misdemeanours in California, the Quaids sought refugee status, telling officials that they were in Canada to seek shelter from a “murderous ring” of accountants and other “star whackers” they said were killing off Hollywood celebrities.
Their now notorious allegations have raised a lot of eyebrows, but it appears the Quaids are staying. Evi Quaid, whose father is Canadian, announced last month that she’s been granted Canadian citizenship and has filed an application to sponsor her husband.
While Star Whackers was in keeping with the circus that has been the Quaids’ life of late, Quaid’s first song Friday night was its antithesis. Will We Be Together Then was a lover’s lament; a slow, subdued country/rockabilly tune about a couple trying to keep their love alive through tough times.
“When the banker comes a-callin’ / ‘Cause we’re overdue again. / Will we be together darlin’? / Will we be together then?,” Quaid sang in silhouette on a mostly darkened stage, surprising some with his vocal skill.
“Hey, he can sing,” one audience member remarked to his date.
Then the stage lit up and Quaid, wiping the sweat from his face, launched into Star Whackers, a song that had the audience laughing and cheering.
Quaid was asked recently by the evening’s headliners The Town Pants (“one of the greatest bands I ever had the pleasure of hearing,” Quaid told the crowd) if he’d like to MC their St. Patrick’s Night show (one night late, granted) at The Commodore. He asked the band if he could also play some music. They agreed.
When Quaid first appeared on stage Friday evening, it was to introduce Mezamazing, one of the opening acts. He used the opportunity to express his gratitude for the Canadian refugee system.
“I want to [offer a] personal note: Thank you to the Canadian Council for Refugees and all the great work they do, for opening their facilities ... for refugees to come into this country. And thank this great nation of Canada for leaving the light on.”

It has been mentioned before but Quaid has got to be some sort of a "joke" by TPTB, because of course many Canadians(Joni Mitchell,Alanis Morisset,etc.) have been replaced and/or "wacked". I wonder if Quaid was replaced?

Thats another tough one!!!
"Rock Legend Sammy Hagar: I Was Abducted by Aliens
Sammy Hagar's new memoir is, well, out of this world.
During an interview with MTV Hive, the former Van Halen frontman, 63, expounded upon several chapters in Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock, which detail his multiple alien abductions.
"It was real," Hagar insists. "Aliens were plugged into me. It was a download situation. This was long before computers or any kind of wireless. There weren't even wireless telephones. Looking back now, it was like, 'F**k, they downloaded something into me!' Or they uploaded something from my brain, like an experiment. 'See what this guy knows.'"
"People say there's no other life in the universe. But you know how big the universe is? It's freakin' huge!" he continues. "If we're really the only ones out there, that's scarier to me than thinking there are aliens."
According to Hagar, he's been plagued by alien abductions since childhood.
"One time I saw what I considered to be, well, at the time I thought it was a car with no wheels," he recalls. "We lived out in the country and I saw this thing floating across a field, creating this big dust storm. I threw rocks at it and sh*t. And I don't know what happened after that."
"I just have no memory of it," he adds. "And it wasn't a dream it was during daylight."
Confused by what happened, Hagar kept the occurrences to himself -- until now.
"I couldn't talk about it because I didn't know how to explain it. I didn't understand the technology. But now I'm pretty sure it was a wireless situation. Either a download or upload," he guesses. "They were tapped into my brain and the knowledge was transferred back and forth. I could see them and everything while it was happening. There was a visual involved, almost like … I don't know. Don't get me going!"
Hagar is even considering penning a second book focused solely on his alien encounters.
"My opinions about the UFO stuff, well, I could write a whole book just devoted to that," he says. "I love it, man. I'm into it deep."

Sammy Hagar got his start in a band called "Montrose". Their self titled first album(1974) is one of the great hard rock albums ever made. Ronnie Montrose is one hell of a guitar player.One of the songs on that album is "Space Station #5". But I wonder if the Hagar now is the Hagar then?

"Justin Bieber’s mother attempted suicide
Justin Bieber’s mother, Pattie Mallette, has revealed that she was so distraught over the sexual abuse that she suffered as a child that she attempted suicide!
To end it all, she tried to throw herself in front of a car, according to reports.
In a recent interview, she said, “The sexual abuse in my life started when I was about five years old until I was about ten or so. I was pretty much high or drunk from the time I woke up to the time I went to bed. I started when I was about 14 or 15.”
After running away from home, she moved in with a group of men. She went on to reveal, “I just lived a life of sin, drugs and alcohol constantly and parties constantly and not going to school and stealing. I was depressed and angry and just snapped one day. I said, ‘I want to die’, and I wanted to find the quickest way possible.”

Well, no wonder...
"'James Dean was molested as a child': The shock secret Elizabeth Taylor took to her grave
James Dean was molested as a child, claims a writer who says Elizabeth Taylor took the shocking secret to her grave.
Journalist Kevin Sessums says the legendary actress swore him to secrecy when she allegedly made the revelation during an interview in 1997.
Taylor, who died on Wednesday at the age of 79, and Dean were great friends.
The actor was 24 when he died in 1955, shortly after he filmed Giant with the London-born beauty.
According to Sessums, Taylor said Dean confessed he had been 'molested by his minister' when he was 11.
The writer was interviewing Taylor for POZ, a US magazine for people living with HIV and AIDS.
The interview was supposed to be about the Hollywood legend's charity work, raising funds and awareness about AIDS.
But Sessums claims Taylor veered off the topic and revealed the shocking secret about the Fifties hunk.
According to the writer, the actress said: 'I loved Jimmy.
'I'm going to tell you something, but it's off the record until I die. OK?
'When Jimmy was 11 and his mother passed away, he began to be molested by his minister.
'I think that haunted him the rest of his life. In fact, I know it did.
'We talked about it a lot. During Giant we'd stay up nights and talk and talk and that was one of the things he confessed to me.'
Sessums interviewed Taylor at her Bel Air home in 1997. At the time she had recently been in hospital for the removal of a brain tumour.
Sessums writes on The Daily Beast blog: 'Her hair that afternoon was whiter than [Jean] Harlow's in a black and white still and was clipped close to her head.'
Sessums says that during the interview Taylor also opened another one of her friends - playwright Tennessee Williams.
The actress played the sultry role of Maggie Pollitt opposite Paul Newman in the 1958 film Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
Williams wrote that play and other classics such as The Glass Menagerie and A Streetcar Named Desire.
But Taylor - who claimed she was 'boring' in real life - apparently didn't think he was being treated fairly by Hollywood.
Sessums says: 'Part of being Elizabeth Taylor that was not boring was all the legendary people with whom the real Elizabeth Taylor worked.
'What did she think of Tennessee Williams?
'I adored Tennessee', she told Sessums. 'He was one of my best friends.
'[But] he had no business sense. I stepped in and tried to act as his agent when I found out what he was not getting.
'He thought he had himself a good deal. He was getting 5 per cent of the profits of the films of his plays.
'So I said: "Tennessee, there is no such thing in the movie business as a profit, much less 5 per cent of it. It's about the gross. Have you ever made any money off your films?".
'He said, no, he had not. "Tennessee!" I screamed at him. "That's why!" 'So I took him in hand. I loved him dearly.'
When it came to openly speaking about her own life Sessums says: 'And yet she never told all herself in a memoir.
'I would have to give up today,' she Sessums. 'And dive into yesterday. You can't predict tomorrow. And my life has had so many startling tomorrows that I don't think they've stopped'.'

"Sarah Says, Benjamin Says
Let's recap. Sarah Lane, an ABT soloist who was one of two ballet doubles for Natalie Portman in Black Swan, already said that she did most of the twirling and leaping in the movie, but the producers wanted everyone to believe that it was Natalie so they told her to keep her lips shut. Sarah didn't. Benjamin Millepied, the movie's choreographer and half of the reason why Natalie's got a womb full of baby, retaliated by saying that his fiancee worked her toes off to move like a real dancer and that 85% of it was her.
Well, Sarah Lane is back and is hitting back at Benjamin with a giant NOPE. Sarah tells Entertainment Weekly that Benjamin needs to look at his abacus again and recalculate some sh*t, because Natalie did about 5% of her own dancing. THE PLOT THINS! Sarah went on:
“The shots that are just her face with arms, those shots are definitely Natalie. But that doesn’t show the actual dancing. They wanted to create this idea in people’s minds that Natalie was some kind of prodigy or so gifted in dance and really worked so hard to make herself a ballerina in a year and a half for the movie, basically because of the Oscar. It is demeaning to the profession and not just to me. I’ve been doing this for 22 years…. Can you become a concert pianist in a year and a half, even if you’re a movie star?
I mean, from a professional dancer’s standpoint, she doesn’t look like a professional ballet dancer at all and she can’t dance in pointe shoes. And she can’t move her body; she’s very stiff. I do give her a lot of credit because in a year and a half she lost a lot of weight and she really tried to go method and get into a dancers head and really feel like a ballet dancer.”
Benjamin answered back with: 85%
Sarah: 5%
Benjamin: 85%
Sarah: 5%
Benjamin: 85%
Sarah: Okay.
Benjamin: Yay.
Sarah: JK.
Benjamin: Damn. ......80%?
Are we really getting into the percentage game?! Sarah wants credit and Benjamin isn't going to give it to her. Or something. This is about as confusing as the damn movie."

I've never attempted ballet, but there's no way in hell that someone who never danced could even remotely do ballet in that short of time at her age. No way! If they only show close ups of her head and arms and not the entire body, then you know it's not her dancing, or else why not film the entire body dancing???
Sounds a bit like Flashdance and Footloose, where the actors got credit for dancing, while the real dancers got NOTHING!
Fatalie Fortman...replacement doll for the Illuminati...and she's probably carrying a demon spawn!
I remember seeing her in that pathetic "Walmart Baby" movie...that I always seemed to find in progress while channel surfing. She was running, and the way she held her arms, looked so strange...and they can make her dance in toe shoes in a year or so? No.
I can see perhaps having dance lessons to improve posture, and have her appear more poised as a dancer, but those leg and foot muscles take years to develop the ability to dance on toes. Truly gifted dancers start when they are very young...not adults.

Re: Sandra - common problem when women get injectable fillers - Sarah Palin has had this going on a lot. Sometimes the stuff they inject never really settles down, either. Yuck!
Re: Nataline - I've known some lifelong ballet dancers and they've told me that there's no way Natalie did much real dancing in that movie. They have theorized that CGI might even have been used to splice a real dancer onto Natalie, visually, in some scenes, which would make sense.
