. 2008 News Rewind: July |
Pete Wentz Had A Gay Old Time - 08 Rewind |
Whenever that's said, you know if would be amusing for someone to stand up and say something - be it someone screaming: "I'm pregnant with his child!" or: "he's a wife beater!" or even the ever-popular: "he gave me some kind of incurable VD on his stag night, and he's quite possibly a vampire!"
Top pop mimer Ashlee Simpson must have been wondering where those people were at her recent wedding, though she probably didn't expect the holding-of-the-peace to be broken by her new husband. Hubby Pete Wentz has only gone and said that he used to indulge in a bit of man love, or holding-of-the-piece, as it were.

Miley Cyrus Wet T Shirt Photos Surface Online - 08 Rewind |
Tish tosh, people, nothing of the sort. In fact, not even Miley Cyrus' constant media saturation is enough for her - which is why she appears to be chronicling her entire life with photographs in an incredibly regimented way. Even the part of her life that involves posing in the shower in just a wet white T-shirt.
That's right - photos of 15-year-old Miley Cyrus standing under a shower in just a wet T-shirt have been doing the internet rounds. It's about the 15th set of embarrassingly provocative photos that Miley Cyrus has had to deal with, but it's by no means the worst - rumour has it there's a candid snap somewhere of Miley enjoying and dancing to her father's song Achy Breaky Heart. That'd just finish her career instantly. -

Motley Not Really Live? - 08 Rewind |
When the band performed Sunday night at Nissan Pavilion, it was almost more machine than man -- the Sunset Strip's answer to Darth Vader. ... Frontman Vince Neil didn't even bother to sing the chorus to show-closing 1989 hit "Dr. Feelgood." Instead, the fist-pumping chant was piped in from some offstage source.
Only the frail and ghostly specter of guitarist Mick Mars -- who has long suffered from chronic degenerative arthritis -- seemed to be operating without the benefit of performance-enhancing doodads, as he played and soloed . . . you know . . . with his hands.

Miley Cyrus Condoms? - 08 Rewind |
OK, maybe 'offered' is a strong word. Chances are that it actually just stuck a pin in the internet, found the least appropriate possible candidate for a condom spokeswoman and bashed out a quick press release that mentioned Miley Cyrus a lot in the cynical hope that bored bloggers would pick up on it because it's a quiet news day.
Well, it worked. Congratulations LifeStyles Condoms, it worked. Just don't expect Miley Cyrus to be so quick to bite, partly because she's too busy apologising for things we don't understand, but mostly because you haven't actually asked her yet have you? Idiots.

Madonna Sex Tape? - 08 Rewind |
However, very few of us have seen what Madonna is actually like during real sex - something few of us would wish to change. But now something has come along that threatens to shatter our cocoon of not knowing how Madonna has sex forever - a man is claiming he's in possession of a Madonna sex tape.
Wait, wait - don't freak out just yet. This alleged Madonna sex tape is supposedly between Madonna and Alex Rodriguez! There's not a sniff of Guy Ritchie anywhere! That means, at absolute worst, the Madonna sex tape will only be appalling enough to make your eyeballs burn up and pop. You won't actually die from watching it.

I was struggling to get out of this mess of people. I don't really realize what's going on!
