The great law peoples of Britain granted Amy Winehouse and her ex-hubby Blake a divorce after the torture never stopped for two years.

They were a match made in reality TV: Blake was in jail six months after they married, yet it was he who filed for divorce after he found out Amy was banging other guys. This all happened between drunken benders, public fights, multiple arrests, all while Winehouse’s star elevated her as one of the worst pop stars of the decade. How did VH1 not pick this up to go back-to-back with "Flavor of Love"?

If any kind of news would brighten my day, it would be the potential demise of a band like Panic at the Disco!

Except when the band splits into two pieces.

Now two bands have the ability to write heart-on-the-sleeve notes about things that stopped mattering junior year in college, both with the attention of major record labels and radio stations. This is why I do not listen to the radio much.

Satriani. Hagar. Anthony. That horrible drummer from RHCP (a funk-rock band with a shitty drummer all these years? yes it's true). CHICKENFOOT.

The three best comments I've heard on Chickenfoot so far:

1) "I heard Sammy singing, 'Oh! YEAH!' and I thought 'Oh! NO! You fucking suck!'"

2) I told my best friend about there being a new supergroup, and he immediately asked, "Which members of Van Halen are in it? Every supergroup nowadays has gotta be an offshoot of Van Halen...."

3) Chickenfoot: the square version of peace:

In late May legions of emo-metal fans were delighted to the latest morsel dribbled out by rock’s biggest boy band, Linkin Park. The song, titled "New Divide," scored the band their third top-ten hit after debuting at #6.

The song has caused a massive controversy among bored and angry suburban 16-22 year olds. Why? Many claim it sounds exactly like previous hits "Crawling," "Somewhere I Belong," and the group’s contribution to the first Transformers movie, "What I’ve Done."

Text messages flew between teens sitting next to each other in their parents’ half-finished basements upon first hearing the song. One exchange between a pair of soon-to-be college freshman caused a new divide in their friendship. As the song ended one of the youngsters, John, texted "OMG new LP rox!" to his buddy Grant. Grant’s reply? "AYSOS? old Transformers song." It got heated after a few more texts resulting in John typing out "4Q" before storming out of the basement to hide in his pitch-black bedroom.
