Ernie Halter Week: Day 1 |
"Count the days": I wrote this song quickly in L.A. This song was about finding love again. There is a part in this song that is actually an inside joke with my girlfriend. The part "I miss you like children miss summer" was part of a little testing game that we would do while I was out on the road.
We would text each other little "I miss you texts like.....". A good example is "I miss you like Jenna Jameson misses her virginity" or something funny like that.
Hearing is believing, so go grab a listen and learn more about Ernie and his new album right

Would Johnny Depp Make A Good Tommy Lee? |
He said: "Johnny Depp would be my choice to play me. He's the best ever." Tommy also revealed he is currently in talks with movie producers to start shooting the film, which will be based on the story of Motley Crue.
He added: "We're working on it. Trying to find the right producers and director and all that sort of stuff!" [Our vote goes for Ashton Kutcher. Is there really any difference between Tommy and Kelso?. If he's too big for the role, maybe Dustin Diamond would be into it? Pauly Shore isn't doing anything right now either]

Bon Jovi Scores In Another Arena |
TMZ has the scoop: Jon Bon Jovi may have seen a million faces and rocked them all, but, until now, he couldn't claim the most pointless title in footballdom: The Arena Football League Championship.
Bon Jovi is the proud co-owner of the Philadelphia Soul, who won the title game today by scoring more points than the other team.
- If sarcasm flies right over your head, you can join the chorus of jeers for that last line and see a "Yellow Teeth" ad below a picture of Jon here
Screeched By the Tell All |
But don't feel sorry for Dustin Diamond because he's doomed to spend the rest of his life stereotyped into a perpetual inescapable vacuum where he'll only be known as Screech from Saved By The Bell to everyone he ever meets all the time forever until he dies, because some good has come out of it.
Dustin Diamond, you see, has decided to use his notoriety to pen a no-holds-barred Saved By The Bell tell-all book that'll chronicle the cast's naughty shenanigans in a frank and shocking manner. Honestly? We're underwhelmed. Now, if there was a Hangin' With Mr Cooper tell-all book coming out
