Headlines: Where Is The Love?

November 27th, 2007

So you’re sitting there on this cold morning, waiting for the prematurely dark, depressingly overcast, frizz-inducing, cowlick-aggravating damp n’ dreary rain/snow that’s been promised and you ask yourself, “Where’s the Love?”

It’s not in the courtroom with Miss Brit, whose lawyer claims the pop tart is being treated unfairly (because, you know, if the paparazzi weren’t trailing her, who would know she ran three red lights/drove over two people’s feet/endangered the lives of her children/etc. It’s like the proverbial tree falling in the woods.) Though she’s getting her kids on Christmas so I guess she’s not loveless.

The love ain’t with – though we’re sending it to – Hawthorne Heights: The band’s guitarist Casey Calvert was found dead Friday on their tour bus. This is so sad. I interviewed Eron, their drummer, at Warped Tour back in August (I think Kat did too) â€“ nicest guy, most down to earth band. They really were a bunch of cool, thoughtful guys whose intentions were genuine and nature kind. When they say positive words in Casey’s memory, I have no doubt that they’re irrefutable.

Before speculation sets in â€“ these are rock stars and it is human nature — will pass along a message from Hawthorne’s website which says, “We can say with absolute certainty that he was not doing anything illegal. Please, out of respect to Casey and his family, don’t contribute or succumb to any gossip you may hear. We don’t want his memory to be tainted in the least.”

The love was not with the winner of the Miss Puerto Rico beauty pageant, who wouldn’t let a nasty case of hives get between her and the crown. Cops revealed that someone had coated Ingrid Marie Rivera’s makeup and gown with pepper spray. She had to ice her skin between rounds. Sounds like a rival was jeal to tha ous. But pepper spray? That’s more than “me-ow!”

And if love is luck, than Foxy Brown had it: The Brooklyn Don Diva got out of solitary confinement 36 days early for “good behaviour”.
