How We Met A Sitcom In Dire Need Of Some More Britney
8:30AM Seth | Apparently How I Met Your Mother’s Canadian mall-star of the 1980s Robin Sparkles had a disappointing follow-up called “Sand Castles in the Sand.” Nope, still not funny. [CBS] Larry King’s CNN contract is extended until 2010, at which point they’ll figure something out involving brains in bell jars or cloned noses. [Media Bistro] Richie Sambora avoids a child endangerment charge, but will face two misdemeanor counts of drunk driving. Asked to comment, Sambora explained, “I ain’t gonna live forever. I just want to live while I’m alive. (It’s my life.) ” [CNN.com] Some nice shots from last night’s excellent Kanye West: Metroid Prime Tour. [WOW Report] More »
Fathers For Drunk Driving Founder Richie Sambora Could Be Charged With Child Endangerment
3:50AM Seth | Richie Sambora has long struggled with his addictions—themselves a natural response to the stresses of occupying one point on a messy Hollywood love pentagram whose details we can never quite get straight. (We think he was briefly married to David Spade before a bitter divorce led him directly into the arms of the Just Shoot Me star’s former BFF, Heather Locklear.) But now, the Bon Jovi guitarist is facing far more serious matters, as Orange County officials are reportedly looking to slap the recently DUI’d Sambora with
When Richie Sambora Gets A DUI, The Jersey Girl Inside Us Dies A Little
3:32AM Seth | Denise Richards fling-survivor and two-time rehab graduate Richie Sambora experienced one of those nasty wake-up calls last night, stopped by Laguna cops shortly before 11:00 PM after swerving in a Black Hummer. “He failed numerous field sobriety tests and was detained for DUI. At the station Sambora opted to take a blood test rather than blow into a breathalyzer. Laguna Beach PD Sgt. Jason Kravetz [says], ‘At this point there’s no indication of drugs.’” Funny–we don’t remember asking about drugs. We leave you now to spend some quiet time with Sambora’s bemulleted mugshot, looking deep into those bloodshot eyes as you sing out to no one in particular, “Sometimes you tell the day/By the bottle that you drink/And times when you’re all alone all you do is think.” More »
Eva Mendes Latest Victim Of Cirque Lodge’s Non-Miraculous Healing Powers
7:51AM Molly Friedman | That Cirque Lodge in Utah sure sounds like one helluva wonder drug. After spending several weeks there attending to what TMZ claimed was a“substance abuse” problem, Eva checked out on February 7th (the same day Kiki Dunst checked in!), but was recently seen joyriding through the weekend party circuit. (Lest you forget, Ms. Mendes was once a Campari model.) But Eva’s not the only Cirque alum who hasn’t quite kicked whatever habit they went in there with; illustrious fellow Cirque-ers include David Hasselhoff, Mary-Kate Olsen, Richie Sambora and our favorite topless “art” model, Lindsay Lohan. So how well did each of these stellar examples of tip top health fare after leaving the Lodge, sober certificate in hand? From hamburgers to hoovering powder on the beach, the verdict is in.Slippery When Triumph Pisses On Your Leg
6:10AM Defamer Hollywood | With the weekend finally here, we thought we’d celebrate with a Triumph the Insult Comic Dog segment aired on Late Night with Conan O’Brien last night, in which 80’s-hair-rock-titan turned middle-aged-lesbian Jon Bon Jovi revisited his encounter with the horny and vicious Rottweiler. We won’t give away some of Triumph’s best lines, except to say there’s one involving Richie Sambora and a potentially damaging use of a curling iron that made our day.

Richie Sambora Slips Into Rehab While No One Is Looking
9:40AM Defamer Hollywood | Because we once swore on a stack of six-month-old glossies in the lobby of a shady direct-to-video production company in Simi Valley to exhaustively chronicle every celebrity detox attempt that crossed our desks – with no celebrity too paunchy, sunburned, or sloppy-seconded to escape our scrutiny – we pass along news of the latest in what will surely go down as a bounty year for rehabs: “Richie Sambora has entered an undisclosed treatment facility in Los Angeles,” the rep said in a statement. “He asks that you respect he and his family’s privacy at this time.” More »
Even More Reasons To Be Excited About The New Shannon Noll Album!
3:30PM Jess McGuire | King of Condo(bolin) Shannon Noll has been working on his third album in the States and from all reports, it sounds like it’s going to be a doozy.
While Defamer Australia is simply excited to have another dozen tunes to listen to whilst doing a spin class (tinny techno-remix pending), it appears the album is going to be fifty thousand billion times better than we could ever have imagined in our Biggest Loser dreams, because check the fuck out who Noll has been writing with.
Among Noll’s co-writers are Richie Sambora (who is readying himself for the next Bon Jovi release) and earnest pop balladeer Richard Marx. Noll has also been working with Australian songwriters in a bid to find the right mix for his third release.
So the stirring ballad side of things will no doubt be handled by the more-than-capable Richard Marx (Right Here Waiting? Hazard? Oh yes, the man knows his emotional stuff…), with the cheesey lite-rock power tune songwriting angle ably covered by Bon Jovi’s own Richie Sambora?
Our only question is… can we pre-order the album from Amazon now? Please? More »
