| Osbourne
Pig |
SMN reports: Sharon Osbourne says she plans
to remove a gastric band that helped her lose 125 pounds and instead rely
on psychotherapy to cope with her weight issues. "I have to figure out
why I do what I do to myself," the 54-year-old wife/manager of rocker OZZY
OSBOURNE says in an interview in People magazine's Oct. 30 issue. "I think
I have some sort of self-destruction button."
Osbourne, who has written a memoir, "Sharon
Osbourne Extreme," had surgery for the gastric band in 1999 and plans to
shed it in December (when she returns to the U.S. from Britain), she says.
She packed on 15 pounds this year "from overeating," she says, even though
the band limits what she can digest. "I keep trying to eat more and more
... I'm a pig," says Osbourne, who has indulged in "chocolate, French fries
and junk food" instead of sticking to the nutritious diet required of gastric-band
patients.[see full story for more]- Click

PR reports: Move over Justin... The Gray Kid
is stealing your thunder. Upon posting the hilarious Timberlake parody
"PaxilBack" on YouTube this weekend, The Gray Kid's popularity increased
by over 1/2 million. It didn't take long for the video to land on YouTube's
home page, prompting 635,000 views in just four days, hoisting him into
most-watched territory.
This Kid is no stranger to attention, as
he's been busy shaking up his adopted home of Los Angeles for some time...
but the word is traveling beyond. The one-many army is preparing to head
to the East Coast for a series of shows, including a stop in NYC for the
CMJ Music Marathon, but not without a proper send-off. The Gray Kid will
host a birthday party/Halloween bash at Music Plus TV in Los Angeles, this
Thursday, October 19, which will peak with a performance, featuring special
guests. Costumes will be provided at the door, if you dare.-

Girl: Alexa Ray Joel EP |
PR reports: Alexa Ray Joel (Daughter of Billy
Joel and Christie Brinkley) debut EP titled Sketches will be available
at Target October 24th. She just finished opening for Teddy Geiger alongside
Machine Shop Recording artist Holly Brook. And she's on the road again
headlining in the Eastern US.
Alexa Ray Joel began writing songs at a
very early age. Growing up in a musical household, her gift for singing
and songwriting was always encouraged by her parents. Her deep love of
music stems from as early as the tender age of two, when her father would
sing and play nursery rhymes for her on the piano. Like her father, she
pursued classical piano training for quite a few years before developing
a knack for songwriting. She would soon find that her skills in classical
piano provided a solid foundation for her songwriting. At seventeen, she
attended the Berklee College of Music's Five Week Music-Fest, where she
honed her skills as a performer, and, realizing that she had a soulful
voice, lost her inhibitions about sharing that voice with an audience.[see
