Comeback

DON'T COUNT MICKEY ROURKE OUT YET!

Life IS full of surprises. Just when everyone was writing off Mickey Rourke as an over the hill has-been, he pulled off an acting triumph! Mickey’s film “The Wrestler” was voted BEST MOVIE at the Venice Film Festival and he will certainly be an Oscar contender! In the movie, Mickey plays a heartbreaking character – an ageing wrestler who is in despair as his body fails him and friends desert him. It just goes to show that looks aren’t EVERYTHING in Hollywood – at least when it comes to men.

Britney Spears Comeback Madonna

MADONNA IS TAKING BRITNEY UNDER HER WING

Madonna has reached out to Britney Spears and this weekend Britney is set to film video footage that will appear on the big screens on Madonna’s “Sticky and Sweet” tour. Madonna also wants Britney to perform in person for several of her concert dates. The UK’s Sun newspaper says Madonna want to give Britney some career guidance and get her back on track. That also includes, we presume, plenty of Kabbalah brainwashing. Still, it IS a major opportunity for Britney. (Interesting how they’ve both changed since this photo was taken. Madonna looks better – Britney doesn’t.)

Comeback House of Blues Sly and the Family Stone

GIVE SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE A CHANCE – AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES

Sly, along with some of The Family Stone are still trying to forge a comeback and they’re booked Friday, April 25, at the House of Blues in Anaheim. Let’s hope the show is longer than the brief but tantalizing appearance he made onstage at the 2006 Grammys. It’s only too easy to imagine what happened to Sly in all these years since his raging popularity in the funk-mad early 70’s. (He was the first rockstar we ever saw with a portable phone – it was the size of a thick briefcase. Sly wanted to be able to call his lawyer at the drop of a rolled up hundred dollar bill.) He’s got a bad back and he’s hunched over now. Sly says he fell off a cliff walking in his yard. We just hope he shows up Friday – with or without the mohawk.

Comeback Duran Duran

DURAN DURAN STILL LOOKS MORE THAN PRESENTABLE

Another comeback! And it looks like it will be successful – 80’s band Duran Duran has extended their run at the Barrymore Theater on Broadway in New York, starting next week. They’re celebrating the release of their new album Red Carpet Massacre. (LOVE the title) Nick Rhodes is still our favorite little fashionista. We met him years ago at an MTV party and he was very drunk and loads of fun.
