GOSSIP..HOT HOT GOSSIP..HOT HOT HOT GOSSIP.... HOT HOT HOT GOSSIP.
Happy APRIL FOOLS DAY!!! Unfortunately this past month and a half has been a very sad time for all of us... Beginning with the untimely deaths of THE CRAMPS lead vocalist LUX INTERIOR followed by the passing of CODE OF HONOR lead singer JONATHIN CHRIST and the beloved ultimate "WHITE TRASH DEBUTANTE" PUNK ROCK PATTY PIERCE. Most recently the unexpected death of Actress/ Mother / Wife NATASHA RICHARDSON who fell while skiing and struck her head on hard packed snow. At the time of the fall she felt fine and refused to go the the hospital.. But a few hours later she complained of being lightheaded and nauseous with a severe headache. She was then taken to the hospital where slipped into a coma. Two days later she was taken off Life Support and within hours was pronounced dead... Another shocker was with REBECCA WILSON'S- 19 year old Nephew SIMON CESAR who lost his life in a freak Motorcycle accident on the big island in Hawaii....... PUNK GLOBE wanted to use a new web hosting service.. We did not have any real issues with Go Daddy but thought there may be better with more functions and a C-Panel.. After doing much research I signed up with a Web Host .. In all my research on this company - I did not read one bad review. Then after signing up with them the shit really hit the fan... I finally went with HOST GATOR on the strong recommendations of Photographer JENNY LENS and KATHY PECK Founder of H.E.A.R. ... PUNK GLOBE now has a banner for HOST GATOR posted on the home page along with our Sponsor's Banners .. If you have been thinking about a new Web Host please click on the HOST GATOR Banner on the site and if you like them place an order..

I was standing in line at QUIZNO'S and guess who was in line behind me? DEREK HOUGH of "DANCING WITH THE STARS.." I introduced myself and we had a lengthy chat as there was only one person working behind the counter and a really long line.. He was way cool and very down to earth. But most important he loves CLORIS LEACHMAN and was happy to report she was coming back to dance this season... When you read this she will have already appeared.. I then told him all about PUNK ROCK PATTY and showed him a picture of her.. He sent his condolences to all who knew her... He asked who I would like to see on "DANCING WITH THE STARS" and I immediately answered without a thought "AMY 'THE QUEEN OF THE CHOLITAS' WINEHOUSE" She would add so much to the show as a dancer. I told him she could also sing the Shows new theme song.. "They Tried To Make Me Take Ballroom Dancing Lessons And I Said NO! NO! NO!........." I wished him luck dancing with LIL KIM...... CAROL GISCH is apartment hunting in Ames, Iowa ... Lotza luck Girlfriend.... CONSTANCE COOPER who can be found holding court (She is The Hostess ) @ BAR SINISTER at BOARDNERS every Saturday Night in Hollywood is planning on a trip to San Francisco in mid April. She will stay with close pal JOANNE who was once married to RON THE RIPPER former bass player for CRIME.... LA Weekly's own

While the MADDEN BROTHERS were enjoying the open air courtyard mingling with all at BAR SINISTER.... MISS OBLIVIOUS who is now doing tons of filming in Seattle is also planning a trip to San Francisco/San Jose in late April.. UNEVEN STEVEN and JACK SHIT can't wait for her to arrive.... Meanwhile THOM BONE of BUTT TRUMPET who had been living in Hollywood until he decided to move north to Seattle. Anyway, THOM has developed a new Website similar to My Space.... Message him on My Space for details about the site's address..
SESU COLEMAN has been staying super busy on the East Coast with the MAGIC TRAMPS business and recording.. Has anyone heard from the FABULOUS KRISTINA SERRA??? Last I heard from her cousin
GERE FENELLIE she had married and was living in London... EMAIL ME - I miss you Girl!! MAUREEN JENNINGS is busy with her Yoga which she uses as therapy for her neck along with moving into her new home in the Glenn Park Area of San Francisco..... BEBE BUELL will be releasing her first single

She will also be playing the JOEY RAMONE BIRTHDAY BASH that his brother MICKEY LEIGH presents annually in NYC on May 19.. This year the party will be at IRVING PLAZA aka THE FILLMORE.... It was great seeing FRANCOIS of MOTORCYCLE BOY peddling ass on Hollywood Blvd.. Oh yeah, he was very proud of his new bicycle... On April 5th PUNK GLOBE will be getting some great acknowledgment on the very popular ABC show
"SUNDAY ARTS" that broadcasts from Sydney, Australia. The segment will run again in late May... Proving it really is a PUNK GLOBE !!!! THE GUILTY PLEASURES from the U.K. have a new CD out called
"WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR" that is totally Punk Rawk!!! Look for an Interview with them by ROTTEN in May.... AMY POEHLER is starring in a new prime time sitcom called "PARKS and RECREATION" on NBC starting this month... Wonder if TINA FEY will be making any guest appearances.... JOSEPH "Next Guest In Line" who works at CVS on Yucca in Hollywood is the funniest checkout clerk ever!!! I met him through PAULEY PERRETTE who totally digs him and his Mother who owns and operates a Bail Bonds Business across the street from The Hollywood Police Station..... Another way cool guy at CVS is JOSE who is the cute Security Guard with the pierced lip. He works there on Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 6PM-6AM...... But "The Coolest Most Rad Friend Ever Award" goes to the one and only NANCY JACKSON... THE DICKS are being inducted into the Texas Music Hall of Fame this year!! Congratulations GARY FLOYD and the rest of the band... JIM WALLS had to turn down playing guitar with SONNY VINCENT on a tour of Europe because of prior commitments with BEBE BUELL. So now SONNY is trying to contact EDEN of MOTORCYCLE BOY about touring with him. He did tell me that TONY SLUG is living part time in the USA now... This season on THE AMAZING RACE one of the Racers LUKE ADAMS has been hearing impaired since birth and is racing with his hearing Mother MARGIE . They both have been such an inspiration for all - with their teamwork.. LUKE signs in American Sign. But he and his Mother have invented their own form sign language that has helped them in finishing first in a couple legs of the race.. AMAZING RACE host PHIL has even learned to sign with him... STACY TUTTLE of CAMPAIGN FOR CARE turned me on to an amazing U-Tube Video about a Lion named CHRISTIAN who a couple English guys bought at Harrods in the 70's when it was legal to sell Baby Cubs.. They raised him until he got so big he became a danger - so they released him to the wild after monitoring him and seeing if he could survive.. A few years later they returned to his new home to check up on him. They were a bit concerned for their safety because so much time had passed. But as soon as CHRISTIAN saw them he showered them with so much love... He also introduced them to his Lioness Mate!
When I get a bit down I watch the following video.. Especially the segment with the Wild Boar - it is the best... It aired during the Super Bowl and was put together by Pedigree.. Not quite as sentimental as the CHRISTIAN video.. But equally as great.... Check it out!!!
