| Adopt
A Terrorist |
TMZ reports: One thing Madonna probably wasn't
expecting after her pilates workout - a man in nothing but a diaper.

terrorist," jumped in front of the Material Girl's car in London today
screaming "Adopt your local terrorist, adopt the Al-Qaeda" while sucking
on a binky.
Madonna paid no attention to the comedian
and drove off, prompting Barschak to say "I'm too old, too hairy for her
to adopt."[see full story for more]- Click

| KISSology
For Halloween |
PR reports: For the KISS Army, the release
this Halloween of "KISSology: Volume One 1974-1977" marks the arrival of
nothing less than a Holy Grail: 6 solid hours of vintage KISS going all
the way back to the deep early roots of the band's classic line-up -- Gene
Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss -- captured and re-mastered
on 2 state-of-the-art DVDs featuring more than 70 live performances and
four full concerts bundled along with unreleased tracks and never-before-seen
footage. The mind-boggling first volume of a definitive three part collection
(Volumes Two and Three are being readied for release in 2007) presented
by VH1 Classic, "KISSology: Volume One 1974-1977" is a showcase of pristine
digitally-restored video coupled with a 5.1 audio mix to provide both stunning
visual quality and powerhouse finely-detailed sound designed to meet the
approval of the most demanding KISSmaniac.
"KISSology: Volume One 1974-1977" goes
all the way back one of the band's earliest live performances in the New
York pre-punk glam rock bar scene of the early 1970s before tracing the
rocket-paced transformation of KISS into international rock gods who filled
the world's largest arenas as the undisputed hottest band in the land by
1977. [get down and lose your mind to "Detroit Rock City" at the full story
