| Drunk
Idol |
Day in Rock reports: There is speculation
that Paula Abdul may have been under the influence during Tuesday night's
broadcast of American Idol. The "let's praise everybody even when they
stink" judge appeared to be slightly off her rocker on Tuesday night, while
it wasn't exceedingly obvious, Abdul's mannerisms, off balance standing
and almost fall at one point and slightly slurred speech during the broadcast
did leave the question of her sobriety to skeptical eyes. The American
Idol message boards are burning up with speculation on this matter. Perhaps
the producers should just drop her, it's not like she gives the contestants
worthwhile advice. Lying to them doesn't help! Then again what is Paula
Abdul doing judging vocal talent in the first place? The karaoke gods may
have the last laugh. See the full story link for some fan reaction and
comments on Abdul's "condition" from previous episodes. [see full story

Attack By Dimebag Killer |
Blogcritics.org reports: The Columbus Dispatch
(not available online) reported today that Nathan Gale, the paranoid schizophrenic
Pantera fanatic and killer of Dimebag Darrell and three others at the Alrosa
Villa club, jumped on the stage during a Damageplan show in Cincinnati
on April 5, 2004, causing about $1,800 in damage to lights and other equipment
during a struggle with bouncers. The band continued playing during the
episode and charges were not filed against Gale in Cincinnati because band
members did not want to have to return to the city for subsequent court
dates. Eight months later he would do much worse.[more]-

News: Rasta Ozzy |
BBC reports: Birmingham-born poet Benjamin
Zephaniah has written a poem about The Osbourne family to mark the final
episode of their popular MTV reality series.

to paper and write them a fitting ode," said the Rastafarian writer.

a family that has become an alternative institution without it sounding
too worthy," he added. [see full story for more including part of the poem]-

up his guitar parts for the upcoming CAMP FREDDY full-length debut with

Esquire |
Blabbermouth reports: A BLABBERMOUTH.NET visitor
by the name of Scott Whitt has sent in the following item:
"I just bought the latest issue of Esquire,
April 2005. The last page is an article 'This Way Out' by Brian Frazer.
In it he makes a joke out of the murder of Dimebag. There is a pyramid
of 'Recommended Daily of Vice.' On the top is a section 'Use Sparingly'
and in it is 'Shooting ex-guitarists from PANTERA.' I think it is horrible
for someone to make light of this tragic situation. We in the metal community
should voice this. [see full story for more including a scan of the offensive
