As expected, Dave Grohl took the high road in his endless war with Courtney Love. And by war, I mean Dave Grohl has to incessantly avoid her crazy. In response to Love’s ridiculous allegations that Grohl slept with her daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, Grohl simply said, “Unfortunately Courtney is on another hateful Twitter rant. These new accusations are upsetting, offensive and absolutely untrue.” Need I point out one more time that I’m in love with Dave Grohl?

Quote of the Day — Slash on Axl Rose: “He Hates My Guts”
“He hates my guts. It’s over a lot of different stuff; I don’t even know. There’s just no communication between us. I talk to Duff McKagan [former Guns N’ Roses bass player] and Steven [Adler, former Guns N’ Roses drummer], but when it comes to old Guns N’ Roses, there really isn’t anybody that makes decisions.” Slash, on his willingness to play at the Guns N’ Roses Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction and on the reason Axl won’t appear.

Axl Rose Rejects Guns N’ Roses Hall of Fame Induction — Massive Douchebag
|
Axl Rose has the most expensive grudge in the history of America. Despite media pressure and fan pleas, he has openly rejected the idea of appearing at the Guns N’ Roses Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Here’s what he had to say:
“I respectfully decline my induction as a member of Guns N’ Roses to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “I strongly request that I not be inducted in absentia and please know that no one is authorized nor may anyone be permitted to accept any induction for me or speak on my behalf. Neither former members, label representatives nor the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame should imply whether directly, indirectly or by omission that I am included in any purported induction of Guns N’ Roses.”
Here’s a translation for that ridiculous explanation: Axl Rose is a big baby. It’s absolutely astounding to me that Axl’s grudge toward his bandmates has basically cost him close to the billion dollars he stands to make on a reunion tour. Perhaps he should have a conversation with The Police or Simon and Garfunkel about burying the hatchet in the name of money. And in case you’re wondering about the history of Axl’s insanity, I’ll remind you of a very famous story for your reading pleasure. Once upon a time, Stephen Adler (the former drummer for the band) had a girlfriend named Adriana Smith. Axl wanted some sex noises on his song, “Rocket Queen,” so he invited Adler’s girlfriend to the studio and recorded himself having sex with her. Needless to say, when Adler found out — he wasn’t pleased. Listen below.
Madonna’s Record Tanks — World Scratches its Head
In case you haven’t heard, Madonna’s record tanked, and there’s a very important lesson to be learned here: No matter who you are, you can’t produce shit. The public will reject you, especially at a time when there are some really incredible musicians that are forging their way to the top through social media alone. And furthermore, I don’t feel sorry for the person charging over $300 per ticket for her concert. Here’s my advice: Don’t get bloated and surround yourself with “yes-men.” You will pay a creative price.
Courtney Love v. Dave Grohl on Twitter: Round 3,216
For years Courtney Love has attacked Dave Grohl for just about everything you can imagine. Grohl rarely responds to her ludicrous accusations, but this one in particular knocked it out of the park. According to Love, Grohl slept with her daughter, Frances Bean Cobain. I’m curious how she would even know this information given that Frances Bean has a restraining order against her mother, but Courtney Love’s creative attempts to regain media attention continue to amaze me. Also — if Frances Bean did sleep with Dave Grohl — I am super jealous. The man is hot.
Jon Stewart v. CNN: “Segment Titles Make No Sense”
I almost forgot how much I love Jon Stewart, and then a recent clip of him poking fun at CNN’s ridiculousness made me remember. Stewart took issue with CNN’s attempt at branding their news with cheesy segment titles, saying, “most of [CNN’s] segment titles have no bearing on the news within the segment.” He then showed a clip of a segment called “Street Level,” which included news about a bungee-jumping paraplegic. As Stewart rightly pointed out, bungee-jumping off a bridge is most certainly not at the “Street Level.” Watch below.

Alicia Silvertone Defends Mouth-to-Mouth Feeding Her Son — Heinous
Can someone explain to me when Alicia Silverstone’s brain began to malfunction? If you stay too long in the monkey house you’ll stop smelling the shit. And Silverstone is clearly parked inside that monkey house. In defense of feeding her son in a mouth-to-mouth fashion, Silverstone said, “People have been feeding their kids that way for thousands for years, and I didn’t think I was inventing anything.” Did she seriously use tradition to justify her deplorable behavior? Perhaps she should wipe her ass with leaves too. To call it disturbing would be a drastic understatement.
Quote of the Day — Rick Santorum Suspends Campaign
“Santorum has suspended his campaign! GINGRICH CACKLES FROM HIS MOON BASE. I will miss Santorum’s unique ability to hate gay men while simultaneously fearing liberated vaginas and the women that are attached to them. It’s like, THOSE ARE YOUR ONLY CHOICES, BRO. Nobody wants to be alone on a Saturday night with no one to appreciate your sweater vests and your endearing inability to understand that Jesus wasn’t mentioned in the Constitution.” James, Contributing Editor to The Dishmaster, on Rick Santorum’s decision to suspend his campaign.
Music Spotlight On: Josh Jove Band — Blues at its Best
There’s no formula for what makes a performer uniquely great, but I sure do know it when I see it. And I see it in Josh Jove. He fronts a blues band in Los Angeles, and if my prediction is correct, they’re on their way to massive success. He started playing guitar at age 11, and he’s self-taught. If you see him perform live, you’ll understand just how impressive that last detail is. According to Jove, he practices an “embarrassing amount of hours per day,” which isn’t surprising. He’s damn good. Plus, he’s one of the nicest, most humble guys I know. Have I also mentioned he’s easy on the eyes? Listen below to hear a demo of his blues band cover JJ Cale’s “The Woman That Got Away.” The demo was recorded at Brick & Mortar Recording in Los Angeles.
Melissa Gilbert Injured on DWTS — Great Dance
Apparently Melissa Gilbert’s “best dance so far” resulted in whiplash and a concussion. I suppose greatness always comes at a price. I’m not sure exactly how the injury occurred, but Tom Bergeron announced that she was on her way to the hospital, and Melissa Gilbert later tweeted that she’s “alright.” I don’t know about you, but I’d take a concussion any day if it meant dancing around that floor with Maksim Chmerkovskiy in spandex. He sure is good-looking.
