HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW
JENNIFER ANISTON STILL WON'T ADMIT SHE'S DATING GERARD BUTLER:
Even though she just took him to Mexico for her birthday celebration, JENNIFER ANISTON still won't admit she's dating GERARD BUTLER. --Asked why they hang out, she says, quote, "We just had so much fun working together, you know. He's just fun. Gerry's the most unpretentious guy. --"He's a guy's guy, but he's absolutely the most lovely and sort of self-deprecating [person] and just what you see is what you get. We look at work the same way . . . We always had each other's back." --Oh, and by the way . . . Jennifer used her birthday celebration to do some good for kids in Mexico. She brought 50 friends with her, and they all donated and / or helped to raise money for a Tijuana orphanage. --Jennifer says, quote, "These people survive on us coming down and spending money and coming here to these beautiful places. It sort of made sense to sort of say 'Hey, let's help out Mexico. --"'Let's shout out to these kids in Tijuana and you know, have a big . . . that's sort of our birthday celebration this year.'"
PEE WEE HERMAN WOULD LIKE YOU TO KNOW THAT HE IS *NOT* INTERESTED IN CHILD PORNOGRAPHY:
In 2002, PAUL REUBENS . . . a.k.a. PEE WEE HERMAN . . . was arrested on child pornography charges, after police raided his collection of vintage erotica and decided some of the pieces were illegal. --All the charges were eventually dropped . . . apparently because the images really weren't as horrible as prosecutors had tried to claim they were. --Still, Reubens had to register as a sex offender, and couldn't be with minors without their parents' approval for three years. --Well, now that Reubens is trying to bring Pee Wee back, he wants to make sure everyone knows he is NOT a child pornographer. --He says, quote, "I don't want anyone for one second to think that I am titillated by images of children. The public may think I'm weird. They may think I'm crazy. That's all fine. --"As long as one of the things you're NOT thinking about me is that I'm a pedophile. Because that is not true. What I'm trying to prove now is that I still have it, I'm still around . . . I still AM Pee Wee Herman & Pee Wee Herman is STILL funny."
AN ALLEGED LOCK OF FARRAH FAWCETT'S HAIR IS FOR SALE ONLINE:
Some website is selling what it CLAIMS is a lock of FARRAH FAWCETT'S hair. There's no word when it was taken or how they got a hold of it. But they want a thousand bucks for it. --Now, that may sound a little steep. But it's mere PEANUTS when you consider the fact that you might someday be able to use that hair to CLONE FARRAH. --Seriously . . . the seller says, quote, "Someday the technology will be available, and you might be able to create your very own angel." (???) (--There's absolutely no guarantee this is Farrah's hair . . . or even real human hair . . . but here's the address . . .)http://www.hunkwithjunk.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=74&osCsid=0a96a0602ec941ccd4f0f5b36063b752
#1.) At a ceremony in California Tuesday, JAMIE FOXX presented $500,000 worth of musical instruments to 16 high schools nationwide. (--It was part of The Fidelity FutureStage program . . . a charity effort to enrich arts education in public schools.) --Jamie also sang his most recent hit for the students gathered there. Although he changed the lyrics to, quote, "Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-apple juice." He said, quote, "I changed it so you guys could sing it."
#2.) DINA LOHAN had her ex-husband MICHAEL in court yesterday, over non-payment of child support for LINDSAY'S two underage siblings, Ali and Cody. There's no word how much Michael owes, but he ADMITTED he's behind. --He promised to get current as soon as possible.
#3.) BLACK EYED PEAS manager Liborio Molina reached a settlement with idiot celebrity blogger PEREZ HILTON. As you probably recall, Molina CLOCKED Perez in the face last summer. -The terms of the deal were not disclosed . . . but one condition is that Molina will make a donation to a charity of Hilton's choice. (--Hilton had sued Molina for battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. He was seeking at least 25-grand.)
NANCY KERRIGAN'S BROTHER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR FATHER'S DEATH:
The Massachusetts state medical examiner said yesterday that NANCY KERRIGAN'S 45-year-old brother MARK is responsible for the death of their father. --70-year-old Daniel Kerrigan died of a heart attack that occurred during a physical altercation with Mark at the family home on January 24th. --Officially, the cause of death was listed as, quote, "cardiac dysrhythmia following a physical altercation with . . . injury to the neck." That's a HOMICIDE . . . which simply means that Daniel died due to the actions of another person. (--Just like Michael Jackson.) --At the time of the incident, he was arrested on a charge of assault and battery on an elder. But the medical examiner's ruling opens the door for possible manslaughter or even MURDER charges. --The Kerrigan family continues to stick up for Mark, though. They released the following statement yesterday . . . quote, "[We are] extremely disappointed that the medical examiner would release a cause of death without having all of the relevant facts. --"We believe this finding to be premature and inaccurate. --"The Kerrigan family does not blame anyone for the unfortunate death of Dan Kerrigan, who had a pre-existing heart condition." (--Even in the immediate aftermath of Daniel's death, Mark and Nancy's mother said she didn't blame her son.)
PHIL HARRIS FROM "DEADLIEST CATCH" HAS DIED:
PHIL HARRIS . . . one of the stars of the Discovery Channel series "Deadliest Catch" . . . died yesterday, after suffering a stroke on January 29th. He was 53. --Phil's sons, Jake and Josh, issued a statement saying, quote, "It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dad. Dad has always been a fighter and continued to be until the end. --"For us and the crew, he was someone who never backed down. We will remember and celebrate that strength. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers." --Discovery issued its own statement, saying, quote, "Discovery mourns the loss of dear friend and colleague Captain Phil Harris. He was more than someone on our television screen. Phil was a devoted father and loyal friend to all who knew him. --"We will miss his straightforward honesty, wicked sense of humor and enormous heart. We share our tremendous sadness over this loss with the millions of viewers who followed Phil's every move. --"We send our thoughts and prayers to Phil's sons Josh and Jake and the Cornelia Marie crew." (--The Cornelia Marie is the crab fishing boat Phil captained on the show.)
"DARK KNIGHT" DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER NOLAN IS "MENTORING" A RE-DO OF THE "SUPERMAN" FRANCHISE:
Not many people were happy with "Superman Returns" . . . including the studio, Warner Brothers. But they're not giving up on the franchise yet. In fact, they've just made a move they hope will completely revitalize it. --They've hired CHRISTOPHER NOLAN . . . the man who wrote and directed "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight" . . . to "mentor" the development of a new Superman flick. --Sources say this will not be a sequel to "Superman Returns", but the start of a whole new franchise. --Still, insiders say BRANDON ROUTH could potentially return as Superman (slash) Clark Kent. They also say it's unlikely that Nolan himself will direct it. --At the same time, it's so early in the development process at this point, that it's pretty much impossible to predict anything yet. (--Nolan revitalized Batman by adapting a much darker tone than the previous franchise. And it worked because Batman has that dark side to his character.)
#1.) It's official: TOM CRUISE will star in "Mission: Impossible 4". We heard already that Cruise and "Mission: Impossible 3" director J.J. ABRAMS were going to produce the fourth installment. But it wasn't known at the time if Tom would star in it. --Abrams will NOT be directing this time out. There's no word yet on who will.
#2.) BINDI IRWIN . . . the daughter of the "Crocodile Hunter" STEVE IRWIN . . . stars in a new "Free Willy" movie . . . "Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove". It's going straight to DVD on March 23rd.(--Here's the trailer . . .)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIEZOjLRPnE(--The movie also stars BEAU BRIDGES. His brother JEFF has won a Golden Globe this year, and is up for an Oscar. But I'm sure Beau's not jealous or anything.) (???)
HERE'S A RECAP OF ELLEN DEGENERES' FIRST APPEARANCE AS A JUDGE ON LAST NIGHT'S "IDOL":
ELLEN DEGENERES made her debut as the fourth judge on "American Idol" last night, and it seemed like she was a pretty good fit for the show. --Whether she was trying to get the contestants to relax, sending someone home, or sending someone on to the next round, she usually tried to bring the funny. And MOST of the time it worked. --Like when she was sending three female contestants to the next round, she screwed with them a little bit first. First she told them to step forward. Then she told them to step back . . . then forward . . . then back again . . . then to the side. You get the picture.--Eventually she told them they'd all made it to the next round. But obviously she was trying to make her mark on the show by doing things a little differently. (--By the way, this was kind of a bite-off that Val Kilmer scene in "Real Genius", where he tells Mitch to step forward and look at the laser . . . and then back . . . and then forward . . . "And now we're cha-cha-'ing!") (--It's 39 seconds in, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HuHkPlbh6c) --It also seemed like she wanted to reassure the people auditioning, or just cut the tension every now and then with some talk-show banter. She told a contestant from Florida not to wear sandals in L.A. because, quote, "Hollywood is a disgusting town." --And she told another contestant, quote, "You're hiding inside and scared to death. And you've gotta let go of that 'cause those nerves are gonna kill ya." --But it's 'Hollywood Week' on "Idol", when about half of the contestants who got golden tickets get kicked out, so Ellen didn't hold back on the criticism either. --She told that weird over-confident dude 'Skiiboski' that he was so bad, he was scaring the judges. She said, quote, "You frighten me . . . you were stalking us, you were like a leopard behind a cage . . . don't frighten your audience."--At one point she told one of the more boring contestants, quote, "I'm tired as it is . . . that almost put me right out." --And when it came time to send that beat-boxer guy home, she went for the HI-larity again, and joked that, quote, "something's wrong with his microphone." Not as harsh as Simon saying, "that was ridiculous", but still.
DAVID LETTERMAN THREW A FOOTBALL TO HIS STAGE MANAGER . . . AND THE MAN ENDED UP BEING WHEELED OUT ON A GURNEY:
DAVID LETTERMAN'S stage manager, 63-year-old Biff Henderson, was injured during a taping of "Late Night" on Monday . . . while trying to catch a football that was thrown by Letterman himself. Here's what happened. --According to the "New York Daily News", New Orleans Saints quarterback and Super Bowl MVP DREW BREES was a guest, and while they were waiting for him to arrive . . . the crew was tossing a football around the set. --Letterman heaved a pass to Henderson, who fell off the stage trying to catch it. --As he was falling, Henderson yelled, quote, "I caught it." After seeing him fall, Letterman joked, quote, "I can smell a lawsuit." And, as it turned out, he really WAS hurt. He was wheeled out of the studio on a gurney and taken to a hospital. --We don't know the extent of the injury, but after the fall, Henderson did indicate that he couldn't move one of his legs. --Someone who was in the audience told the "Daily News", quote, "Dave looked upset. Biff looked alert and waved to us from the gurney." --Drew Brees arrived just as Henderson was being taken to the ambulance. Once everything had settled down, Dave said, quote, "the show must go on" . . . and the filming resumed. (--There's no further update on Henderson's condition.)
JAY LENO WAS "FIRED" BY DONALD TRUMP LAST NIGHT:
DONALD TRUMP was one of the guests on the final episode of "The Jay Leno Show" last night. He appeared via satellite . . . and just before leaving, he said his now signature catchphrase, quote, "You're fired." (--As of last night, only one clip from last night's episode was up on the show's website, and it was the one where ASHTON KUTCHER says NBC's whole late-night mess was all one big "punk." But there may be more up by now.) (--You can look for them, here . . .) http://www.thejaylenoshow.com/video/ #2.) A trailer for KIRSTIE ALLEY'S weight-loss reality show, "Kirstie Alley's Big Life", has hit the Internet . . . and it's pretty amusing. It includes shots of her licking her fingers, and sound bites of her talking about how she's sick of being fat.(--Here's the link to the trailer . . .)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ6Rc9OoOPQ--The show premieres Sunday, March 21st at 10:00 P.M. on A&E.

Online. --Supposedly, casting is underway, and MCG . . . who directed Drew in the "Charlie's Angels" movies . . . will be serving as a "consultant." (--ABC has been kicking around a "Charlie's Angels" remake for a while now, but they've never been able to get it off the ground. We'll keep you posted.)

THE WHITE STRIPES HAVE ACCUSED THE AIR FORCE RESERVE OF RIPPING THEM OFF IN THEIR SUPER BOWL AD:
Did you see the Super Bowl commercial for the Air Force Reserve . . . the one with all the snowboarding, surfing and stuff that had the tagline "Grab Some Air"??? (--It was a regional ad, and only aired in select markets across the country.) --Well, it was backed by an instrumental track that sounded a lot like the WHITE STRIPES' song, "Fell in Love with a Girl". And that would be a problem . . . because the band was never asked for permission to use the song. --The band issued a statement saying, quote, "We believe our song was re-recorded and used without permission of the White Stripes, our publishers, label or management. --"The White Stripes take strong insult and objection to the Air Force Reserve's presenting this advertisement with the implication that we licensed one of our songs to encourage recruitment during a war that we do not support. --"The White Stripes support this nation's military, at home and during times when our country needs and depends on them. We simply don't want to be a cog in the wheel of the current conflict, and hope for a safe and speedy return home for our troops. --"We have not licensed this song to the Air Force Reserve and we plan to take strong action to stop the ad containing this music."(--You can find videos of both the White Stripes song and the ad, here . . .)http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/09/air-force-super-bowl-ad-v_n_456158.html-As you can probably tell, the song in the commercial really DOES sound like "Fell in Love with a Girl" . . . and the Air Force Reserve seemed to acknowledge that right away by removing the ad from their website. --Later, they issued statement passing the blame onto a company called Fast Forward Music, which they hired to, quote, "score original music for [the] commercial." --Fast Forward owner Michael Lee is also shirking accountability. He's pointing the finger at a freelance musician named Kim Craft that they hired to compose the music. Lee claims that both he and Craft were unfamiliar with the White Stripes song. --And Craft is taking the hit for this. He tells "Entertainment Weekly", quote, "It's my responsibility. I'm the one who composed the music. And I had no idea it was like that [song]." He added that he had, quote, "no intention of copying" it. --He also offered to pay back the $2,000 that he earned for the job.
CHICKENFOOT IS WORKING ON ANOTHER ALBUM:
CHICKENFOOT . . . the all-star band featuring SAMMY HAGAR, former Van Halen bassist MICHAEL ANTHONY, guitarist JOE SATRIANI and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer CHAD SMITH . . . is working on another album. --Satriani told BestOfWNY.com, quote, "The four of us are all on the same page as far as this project goes. We're all committed to doing a Chickenfoot number two. As a matter of fact, Sammy and I have already begun the writing process together." (--Chickenfoot's self-titled debut album came out last June. In October, the band announced that the disc had been certified Gold.)
RIHANNA'S UPCOMING MUSIC VIDEO LOOKS WEIRD:
RIHANNA'S new music video . . . for her song "Rude Boy" . . . won't be released until tomorrow, but it looks pretty weird. (--Here's a preview clip . . .)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spUMWwCoZYI
JAY DEMARCUS SAYS RASCAL FLATTS "PAVED THE WAY" FOR TAYLOR SWIFT AND LADY ANTEBELLUM TO CROSS OVER:
It wasn't all that long ago when RASCAL FLATTS were considered country's hottest crossover act. They're still doing well, but they're also sharing that platform with artists like TAYLOR SWIFT and LADY ANTEBELLUM --But Flatts' bassist JAY DEMARCUS believes they made it easier for the current performers to break through to the pop chart. --He tells AOL.com, quote, "Not to sound boastful . . . but I think there was a movement that was started with us and KEITH URBAN, that paved the way for country to cross over a little more easily, with the pop-flavored country music that we know today. --"Taylor did the same thing we did three or four years ago . . . because we had out-sold everybody in every genre of music, and Taylor did the same thing this year." --Jay believes there's a definite place reserved for that so-called "country-flavored pop music" --He says, quote, "I think there's a void there that country music has been able to fill, and artists like Taylor and Keith and Lady (Antebellum) are filling those voids."
NAZZY'S RANDOM STUFF
63% OF AMERICANS WOULD MARRY THE SAME PERSON IF THEY COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN:
Last year, "Reader's Digest" conducted an online poll that asked just one question: "If you could do it all over, would you marry the same person again?" --It seems the obvious answer is NO . . . you'd go for someone hotter, more interesting, and more adventurous in bed. Or better yet, you'd just stay single. But that's not what they found. Listen to this . . . --According to the survey, 63% of Americans say that even if they had a do-over, they'd still marry the same person. That includes 65% of women and 61% of men. --Chinese couples are happiest in their marriages, with 83% saying they'd marry the same person. --Malaysian couples are the least happy, with just 59% saying they'd marry the same person. --And overall, 68% of people worldwide say that if they could do it all over again, they'd marry the same person. (CNN)
SINGLE WOMEN ARE 13 TIMES MORE LIKELY THAN DIVORCEES TO SAY PASSION IS IMPORTANT IN A RELATIONSHIP:
People are always talking about how difficult marriage is, and how it takes so much work. When you look at it that way, I suppose THIS makes total sense . . . --According to a new survey from eHarmony, single women who've never been married are 13 TIMES more likely than divorcees to say that physical attraction and passion are important in a relationship. --Meanwhile, divorcees say that emotional intimacy, sexual compatibility, conflict-resolving skills, and similar beliefs and values are all more important in a relationship than passion. --And single women are TWICE as likely as married women to stress the importance of LOVE in a relationship, while married women think COMPANIONSHIP is more important. --Or as a company spokesman puts it, quote, "The study showed that singles tend to focus on the emotional aspects of a relationship, and don't focus as much on the skills and requirements that are necessary to make a long-term relationship stronger . . .--"It's great to be passionate about your partner. But if you're not compatible, if you don't share important underlying characteristics, you are going to bump into problems down the road." (Yahoo News)
HERE'S WHAT THE COLOR OF YOUR VALENTINE'S DAY FLOWERS REALLY MEAN:
Valentine's Day may be a SHAM HOLIDAY, but if you're hoping to get some action, you're going to have to send your girl flowers. --With that in mind, here's a basic guide to flowers and the meaning of each color:
--RED flowers symbolize romantic love, passion, desire, and eroticism. And the darker the red, the deeper the love it symbolizes.
--BLACK flowers symbolize a loss, but they can also mean elegance, power and mystery. Plus, sending black flowers is a great way to freak someone out . . . you know, if you're kind of a psycho.
--WHITE flowers symbolize purity and family. They're ideal to send to a family member or close friend.
--YELLOW flowers symbolize friendship and happiness, and can be used to express congratulations as well.
--GREEN flowers symbolize fertility.
--PINK flowers signify femininity, sweetness, and charm.
--PEACH flowers signify appreciation, and sometimes gratitude.
--ORANGE flowers symbolize fascination and maybe a hint of mischief. If you're into someone but you haven't told them yet, send orange flowers.
--LAVENDER flowers symbolize trust and nobility.
--And BLUE flowers typically symbolize peace and tranquility. But they can also be used to express trust and contentment.--And since we're on the topic of colors, researchers from the University Hospital of South Manchester in England have found that people associate certain COLORS with certain MOODS.--For example, when they're feeling depressed, a person will say they feel "drawn to" the color GRAY. And when they're happy, they'll say they're drawn to the color YELLOW. Shocking news, right?

IT TURNS OUT YOU ACTUALLY *CAN* DIE OF A BROKEN HEART:
When people say they've got a BROKEN HEART, they don't mean they have an urgent medical issue. They mean they're sad. But now, doctors say it actually IS possible to die from a broken heart. --It's called "broken-heart syndrome," and it's similar to a heart attack. But instead of being caused by a blocked artery, broken-heart syndrome is caused by STRESS. --Basically, when a person experiences trauma . . . either EMOTIONAL or PHYSICAL . . . their body will release a sudden surge of adrenaline. And sometimes, the adrenaline will overwhelm the heart, causing it to go into "standby" mode. --Researchers say that broken-heart syndrome affects post-menopausal women more than 90% of the time, and they're not really sure why. --And the stresses that trigger broken-heart syndrome can be as extreme as the death of a loved one, or a traumatic physical injury . . . or as simple as anxiety over public speaking. (Wall Street Journal)
THE CITY WITH THE WORST WEATHER IN AMERICA IS . . . CLEVELAND:
Winter is here, and it's not going anywhere anytime soon. So it seems like an appropriate time to try and focus on how things could be WORSE. --With that in mind, "Forbes" came up with a list of the ten American cities with the WORST WEATHER, based on average annual temperature, precipitation and snowfall. Check it out:
#10.) Baltimore, Maryland#9.) Detroit, Michigan#8.) Columbus, Ohio#7.) Indianapolis, Indiana#6.) Minneapolis, Minnesota#5.) Chicago, Illinois#4.) Milwaukee, Wisconsin#3.) New York, New York#2.)

Cleveland, Ohio-And as if the people of Cleveland don't have it bad enough already, the Cleveland Cavaliers have announced they're removing all the water fountains from their home arena. --Team officials say they're doing it to cut down on the spread of swine flu. But fans suspect they're doing it to increase business at the concession stands.

AMERICAN AIRLINES IS GOING TO START CHARGING FOR BLANKETS:
Just when you thought the airlines couldn't possibly screw you over any more than they already have, they go and do something like THIS . . . --Last week, American Airlines quietly announced that starting May 1st, they're going to stop providing free blankets to passengers in coach. Instead, you'll have to pay $8 for a packet containing a pillow and blanket. Consider yourself warned. (New York Times)
TWO COLLEGE KIDS COULD GET FIVE YEARS IN PRISON FOR THROWING SNOW AT CARS:
21-year-olds Charles Gill and Ryan Knight are students at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. --On Saturday, they decided to take advantage of last weekend's blizzard by throwing shovels full of snow onto the windshield of a city snowplow. --So the driver called the cops. But when the cops showed up in an unmarked police car, Charles and Ryan started throwing snow on THEIR car too. And when the officers opened their doors to get out, these two geniuses threw snow INTO the cop car. --Long story short, Charles and Ryan were both arrested and charged with, quote, "throwing missiles at occupied vehicles" which is a felony. If they're convicted, they could get up to $2,500 in fines and FIVE YEARS in prison. (Smoking Gun)
THERE'S A SERVICE WHERE YOU CAN HIRE A DUDE IN A JOCKSTRAP TO CLEAN YOUR PLACE:

They provide exactly what it sounds like: guys who clean while wearing just their jockstrap.--You can survey plenty of fine specimens of the male form . . . and some not-so-fine specimens . . . at JockStrapMaid.com.

30% OF OVERWEIGHT TEENS THINK THEY'RE EITHER UNDERWEIGHT OR JUST ABOUT RIGHT:
According to a new study from the University of Minnesota, 30% of overweight teens think they're actually underweight or just about right. --Overall, boys are about twice as likely as girls to misperceive their weight.

HERE ARE THE 13 MOST INSANE BODY MODIFICATIONS EVER:
If you're trying to make yourself UNEMPLOYABLE, there's no better way to alienate possible employers than to tattoo your eyes, implant horns under the skin of your forehead, or sew up the top of your ears so you look like Spock from "Star Trek". (Pop Crunch)http://www.popcrunch.com/13-incredibly-wtf-body-modifications/
#2.) DREW BARRYMORE will be serving as the executive producer on a remake of the classic "Charlie's Angels" series. There aren't many details yet . . . but Drew's rep has reportedly confirmed her involvement to E! Online. --Supposedly, casting is underway, and MCG . . . who directed Drew in the "Charlie's Angels" movies . . . will be serving as a "consultant." (--ABC has been kicking around a "Charlie's Angels" remake for a while now, but they've never been able to get it off the ground. We'll keep you posted.)
#3.) Maybe there's nothing to the HOWARD STERN / "American Idol" talk after all. Two so-called "'Idol' insiders" tell TheDailyBeast.com that it's nonsense. --They say that the show is still months away from choosing SIMON COWELL'S replacement . . . and that Howard hasn't even been CONSIDERED, let alone offered the gig.
THE WHITE STRIPES HAVE ACCUSED THE AIR FORCE RESERVE OF RIPPING THEM OFF IN THEIR SUPER BOWL AD:
Did you see the Super Bowl commercial for the Air Force Reserve . . . the one with all the snowboarding, surfing and stuff that had the tagline "Grab Some Air"??? (--It was a regional ad, and only aired in select markets across the country.) --Well, it was backed by an instrumental track that sounded a lot like the WHITE STRIPES' song, "Fell in Love with a Girl". And that would be a problem . . . because the band was never asked for permission to use the song. --The band issued a statement saying, quote, "We believe our song was re-recorded and used without permission of the White Stripes, our publishers, label or management. --"The White Stripes take strong insult and objection to the Air Force Reserve's presenting this advertisement with the implication that we licensed one of our songs to encourage recruitment during a war that we do not support. --"The White Stripes support this nation's military, at home and during times when our country needs and depends on them. We simply don't want to be a cog in the wheel of the current conflict, and hope for a safe and speedy return home for our troops. --"We have not licensed this song to the Air Force Reserve and we plan to take strong action to stop the ad containing this music."(--You can find videos of both the White Stripes song and the ad, here . . .)http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/09/air-force-super-bowl-ad-v_n_456158.html-As you can probably tell, the song in the commercial really DOES sound like "Fell in Love with a Girl" . . . and the Air Force Reserve seemed to acknowledge that right away by removing the ad from their website. --Later, they issued statement passing the blame onto a company called Fast Forward Music, which they hired to, quote, "score original music for [the] commercial." --Fast Forward owner Michael Lee is also shirking accountability. He's pointing the finger at a freelance musician named Kim Craft that they hired to compose the music. Lee claims that both he and Craft were unfamiliar with the White Stripes song. --And Craft is taking the hit for this. He tells "Entertainment Weekly", quote, "It's my responsibility. I'm the one who composed the music. And I had no idea it was like that [song]." He added that he had, quote, "no intention of copying" it. --He also offered to pay back the $2,000 that he earned for the job.
CHICKENFOOT IS WORKING ON ANOTHER ALBUM:
CHICKENFOOT . . . the all-star band featuring SAMMY HAGAR, former Van Halen bassist MICHAEL ANTHONY, guitarist JOE SATRIANI and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer CHAD SMITH . . . is working on another album. --Satriani told BestOfWNY.com, quote, "The four of us are all on the same page as far as this project goes. We're all committed to doing a Chickenfoot number two. As a matter of fact, Sammy and I have already begun the writing process together." (--Chickenfoot's self-titled debut album came out last June. In October, the band announced that the disc had been certified Gold.)
