We here at PUNK GLOBE wanna wish you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! Lets hope that 2010 is a great year for us all.. I am so hoping the fucking economy will get better and that a Health Plan that will be much better than the one that has recently passed the Senate will be in effect soon. This current plan sucks big time!! . We all want Pro Choice rights included in the health plan and a plan where people will not be fined for not having insurance coverage... The current Health Plan that all the Politicians in Washington are raving about pretty much blows for working class people... For the most part people must wait until 2014 to reap any of the benefits...And a Woman's Right to choose about abortion is in jeopardy... The Democrats are kissing Joe Lieberman's old staunch white ass way to much.... Sadness to report... The unexpected passing of Actress BRITTANY MURPHY was a shock to all... Cardiac Arrest at the age of 32!! REST IN PEACE BRITTANY... Lets also hope that her husband does some explaining about his part in her downfall.... She was such a sweetheart !! JAMES GURLEY Guitarist for BIG BROTHER AND THE HOLDING COMPANY, Folk Singer VIC CHESTNUT and Actress ALAINA REED HALL left us also.. They will all be missed.. NANCY JACKSON and RACHEL DMR ROYCE are also mourning the loss of their dear friend JESSICA DUPRE who lost her life to cancer... RACHEL has sent up a trust for her at http://www.inmemoryofjessicadupre.com/ IVANA TRUMP was escorted of a plane in Florida but not booked for cursing at some young kids that were unruly on the plane that she was flying on. A 911 came in to the Aspen Colorado about CHARLIE SHEEN trying to choke his wife BROOKE on Christmas day. He was booked on a Domestic Abuse an released the next day.... Apparently they were both intoxicated.. At http://www.janetcharltonshollywood.com JANET is reporting that SHEEN'S managers are coaching BROOKE on what to say in Court... Charges against ROMAN POLANSKI are not being dropped and he is in a Swiss Villa awaiting extradition to the USA.. Most other people would be in a cold cell.... KATE and JON are now officially divorced... JON just recently had his apartment in NYC vandalized while he was away visiting his kids... I must admit I kind of like KATE because she liked KATHY GRIFFIN'S spoof of KATE IS ENOUGH... Check out KATHY and the video below

COURTNEY LOVE'S daughter FRANCES BEAN COBAIN has had a Restraining Order issued to her prohibiting COURTNEY from contacting her.. She has also asked to be placed in the custody of her Grandmother the late KURT COBAIN'S Mother... There have been all sorts of allegations being hurled around... There will be a court hearing in January... AMY WINEHOUSE was also recently arrested for assault in London..... It also looks like TIGER WOODS beautiful Swedish Wife is headed to Divorce Court... She must be so humiliated by all the sleazy Women he has taken up with... Including the gal who was on VH1's "Tool Academy" .... It is very safe to say that none of The Flavor Of Love Gals are his former lovers.... TMZ has made a parody the theme song to Gilligan's Island to a clip they show of TIGER on a boat cavorting around... It is really funny.... Emmy Award Winning Talk Show Host TYRA BANKS made a statement recently that after her 5th Season she will be pulling the plug on THE TYRA BANKS SHOW... She will continue with her reality show AMERICA'S TOP MODEL .. Oscar Nominee JAMES FRANCO has been playing a Villain out to get revenge on Jason aka STEVE BURTON on General Hospital... While TV Guide's MICHAEL LOGAN has declared ROBIN STRASSER as this year's Best Daytime Actress.... MR. LOGAN also cited the wonderful and very talented CAROLYN HENNESY who portrays the caustic Attorney DIANE MILLER for her comic relief on General Hospital... DIANE is also a semi- regular on ABC's COUGAR TOWN... She deserves much more time on that show because she is the real star... COURTNEY COX ARQUETTE is good but DIANE is perfect... I recently heard from ROBIN STRASSER that GINA TOGNONI who was the original KELLY KRAMER will reprise her role in early 2010.... My pal DOROTHY LYMAN is keeping busy in NYC... MATT BOWMAN let me know his new band has just recorded a few tunes in which he will be sending PUNK GLOBE... The super nice ANTHONY BUTTERFIELD had a cool Christmas in Minnesota... He is interested in doing a video with the WHITE TRASH DEBUTANTES... A special shout out to JOHN PAUL VERA for keeping us on top of the news about the cuts in funding for the schools in CA...

SHARLA CARTNER is finally free of her teaching job and will be moving into Melbourne proper to start her Web Design and Programming Course in February... KATHY PECK who spent most her Holidays looking after her husband DAVID DENNY and his Mother who is in isolation in the Hospital will be coming to Hollywood after the NAMM SHOW in Anaheim.. Her Niece JESSICA DICKSON who sustained an injury skiing in Italy will be joining her... Yes JESSICA will be doing her Rawk n Roll Massages at NAMM... JOSIE COTTON performed an All Star 80's New Years Eve Party with TOMMY TUTONE, KELLY MONEYMAKER, NINA HAGEN and others at the Ricardo Montalban Theater in Hollywood..

CHELSEA ROSE of The WHITE TRASH DEBUTANTES and BITE is engaged to BITE Guitar Player KEITH who used to play with PAUL CASTEEL in HOUSE OF WHEELS. Congratulations out to proud Papa FELIX former drummer for VERBAL ABUSE and DRI .. TONY GUERRERO and his wife also had a baby... ANGEL VON BORTZ is free of her medications you go girl!! It was great to hear from and get some of BOBBY STEELE'S latest recordings.. THE UNDEAD always rule!!!! Thanks to DOD and ROTTEN for their show reviews of PIL.. ROTTEN also did a great review of THE FALL... MARC FLOYD "THE FLOYDIAN DEVICE" was in Hawaii for The Holidays but he did a great interview with THOMAS ANSELMI.. MARC met him through GERRY JENN WILSON who shares a birthday with LEMMY... I hope that LEMMY and GERRY JENN along with TINA BUTLER, MIKE WATT, REV. KATHY COOPER LEDESMA, BILLY WHITFIELD, CAROL PACA, MICHAEL BUTLER, SARINE VOLTAGE, BREE WILLIAMSON, GAYE ANN BRUNO, JOE DALLESANDRO and VALERIE CALDWELL NEWMAN all had great Holiday Birthday's... On Christmas Eve PAULEY PERRETTE invited BRIGITTE NIELSEN to Church and she was sitting in the row in front of me. She turned around waved and said it's me BRIGITTE.. It turns out that we had met before.. She was so excited and very surprised to see me at Church!! It was great seeing her and she does want to do an interview for PUNK GLOBE... KENNON RAINES had a wonderful Christmas Party at her lovely abode filled with all kinds of good food and drink on Christmas Day.. The Guests were a wide mix of cool people... Lots of Jazz and Blues Musicians, Poets and friendly faces ... Speaking of friendly faces my pal GEOFF who works at CVS also came and we all had a great time.. We all made a toast to PAULI GRAY who has been a long time fiend and band mate of mine and a pal of KENNON'S from her days in Atlanta... PAULI has not been feeling well so we drank a toast to his good health... TAKASHI KOWASAKI wanted to come but was stuck working late at WILCOX TATTOO.. All the Tattoo Artists that work at the shop are very good and way cool.. There is ERIC, TAKASHI ("KASH") and TWISTED they all rawk... If you are in the Hollywood area please drop by and check them out if you are thinking about getting a new Tat..... Not so lucky for the Holidaze was my boy DREW K who had arranged with the powers that be at Fresh and Easy to take off from work for 3 weeks during the Holiday Season.. It had all been approved by the Management..... DREW who also has a good paying job at Costco in Seattle thought all was fine.. ... He was on the schedule for work at Costco, had the plane tickets and the trip was a go... He would return for school at MI and work at Fresh and Easy after the New Years. But a new Manager came to the Hollywood Fresh & Easy and informed DREW that he could not take the time off. He would either have to change his plans for the trip, quit or be fired.. He opted for quitting... Because he was told that if a position was available on his return he would be rehired... There was 6 others who also lost or left their jobs there.... But my question is... What will AUDREY do without DREW to ask him to give her $20 because her coin purse was robbed from her..... BIZ the super cool Woman who works at the Cahuenga Newsstand during the day is really excited because there will be a TRADER JOE'S at Selma and Vine.... TEQUILA MOCKINGBIRD had her Facebook page hacked and she lost it all.. The new PUNK GLOBE is filled with lots of action... Be sure to read PAULI GRAY'S article about how the budget cuts made in the State of California is affecting AIDS research and the Needle Exchange Program.. Speaking of which SEX REHAB with DR. DREW has ended .. It was great seeing SHELLEY SPRAGUE again even it was replacing the wonderful SELMA who pulled that spoiled Bitch CARRIE ANN by the hair.. That is a No No at the rehabilitation center in Pasadena.. Staff cannot have bodily contact with the patients..

PUNK GLOBE is also are running an article about AL GORE and Global warming.. Which reminds me that Meg Whitman who is running for Governor of CA does not believe in Global Warming.. Did Sarah Palin change her name to Meg Whitman? DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS IGNORANT REPULIKKAN!! JAYNE COUNTY did a NEW YEARS EVE show in Atlanta... DEREK SIMS was front and center!!STACY TUTTLE did a great interview with MILLIONS OF DEAD COMPS who recently did a benefit for CAMPAIGN FOR CARE. Check it out! The UNITED METHODIST CHURCH OF HOLLYWOOD'S younger members also recently sent CAMPAIGN FOR CARE a check that they had collected for the Homeless..... On Christmas Morning the entire TUTTLE family went to skidrown in downtown LA to hand out some stuffed Snoopy's that CAMPAIGN FOR CARE had donated to them just the day before Christmas.. They were able to give out about 100 of them to homeless children that were not going to be able to celebrate Christmas this year because of the low amount of donations given ... There were also several news reports involving different donation warehouses being broken into and robbed... It was a Blue Christmas for so many! RAQUEL the homeless lady who spends alot of time at Hollywood and Highland has a "Sister" who was on "Survivor" They may not be blood relatives but they look an awful lot alike.. And that is the one and only SHAMBO!!

We also have some great art work from JAWS THE CABBIE and PIETER ZANDVLIET thanks much guys... JAYNE COUNTY tells us why she loves BILL MAHER and wants him to run for President...
