Before They Were Stars

Rod Stewart: Grave Digger
After playing semi-pro soccer, Rod the Mod abandoned his athletic dreams to work with the dead. He dug graves at London’s Highgate Graveyard but laid down his shovel after just a few weeks.

Chubby Checker: Chicken Plucker
Before he was twisting, the rock ‘n’ roll legend was plucking. As a teenager, the man born Ernest Evans tore the feathers off dead chickens at the Fresh Farm Poultry Market in Philadelphia, where his boss gave him the nickname “Chubby” and occasionally let him sing to customers over the loudspeaker.

David Lee Roth: Hospital Orderly
Long before Van Halen, the not-yet-Diamond Dave fluffed pillows and emptied bedpans in a hospital. It’s a career field he almost went back to post-stardom — in 2004, Roth started training to become a paramedic.

Madonna: Doughnut Slinger
As a struggling dancer in New York City, Her Madgesty worked behind the counter at a Dunkin’ Donuts in Times Square. She was reportedly fired for squirting jelly on a customer.

James Brown: Pool Ball Racker
He was “the hardest-working man” even pre-show business! Brown grew up in Augusta, Ga., during the Great Depression, taking on several odd jobs to earn money, including shining shoes, washing cars, picking cotton and racking pool balls in local bars.

Gwen Stefani: Floor Scrubber
The Hollaback Girl’s very first job was mopping floors at a Dairy Queen near her home in Fullerton, Calif. She eventually left to work at a department store before joining her brother’s band, No Doubt.

Top 10 Producing Concert Tours of 2007

Top 10 Concert Tours of 2007 - PIC

10. Rascal Flatts ($41.6 million)
9. Christina Aguilera ($48.1 million)
8. Tim McGraw/Faith Hill ($52.3 million)
7. Roger Waters ($53.2 million)
6. Cirque Du Soleil’s Delirium ($59.4 million)
5. Rod Stewart ($70 million)
4. Kenny Chesney ($71.2 million)
3. Justin Timberlake ($126.8 million)
2. Genesis ($129 million)
1. The Police ($212 million)

What… Britney Spears‘ ‘House of Blues‘ tour didn’t make the list? Stop, stop…I jest!

The Police reunion trek led all tours in 2007 with a gross that has passed $212 million and is still climbing. The global tour few thought would ever happen moved more than 1.8 million tickets, according to Billboard Boxscore, prior to the Boxscore cutoff date of Nov. 13.

quote2.jpgThe Police tour was produced by TNA International and RZO Productions, and played stadiums, arenas and festivals.

Another heavy-hitting international arena/stadium outing was Genesis’ Turn It on Again tour, produced by Michael Cohl’s CPI. Selling out stadiums in Europe and arenas in the United States, Genesis’ 46 shows grossed $129 million.

Third for the year was Justin Timberlake’s FutureSex LoveShow tour, promoted primarily by AEG Live, which took in $126.8 million and drew more than 1.6 million people worldwide.

The top 10 is rounded out by Kenny Chesney ($71.2 million), Rod Stewart ($70 million), Cirque Du Soleil’s Delirium ($59.4 million), Roger Waters ($53.2 million), Tim McGraw/Faith Hill ($52.3 million), Christina Aguilera ($48.1 million) and Rascal Flatts ($41.6 million).

Prince’s 21 sellouts at the O2 in London was the top Boxscore at more than $22 million. Madison Square Garden in New York was once again the top-grossing arena in the world at $76.6 million in box office, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre near Denver was the top amphitheater at $18.6 million.

Overall, North American concert dollars and attendance are down double digits this year, after a record year in 2006 with the Rolling Stones, Madonna, U2, Barbra Streisand and other big ticket tours on the road. North American gross concert dollars for 2007 are down 10.2% to $2.6 billion, and concert attendance is down 19.2% to 51 million.

“Yes, a 19.2% decrease in attendance is very disturbing, since it reflects that the consumers are not really supporting breaking and mid-level talent,” AEG Live president/ CEO Randy Phillips says. “If this trend continues, who will be the headliners of tomorrow?”

For industry-leading Live Nation, 2007 “was a lighter touring year than 2006,” according to Jason Garner, president of North American Music. “We saw fewer artists on the road, especially in our global touring unit. We had some great artists out; there were just less of them than past years.”

Kimberly Stewart Isn’t Rod Stewart’s Only Daughter

Kimberly Stewart Isn’t Rod Stewart’s Only Daughter - PIC

Rod Stewart’s other daughter, Ruby Stewart, is the new face and body of Michelle for George lingerie.

The 20-year-old is thrilled:

quote-pic“Being asked to be the face and body of one of the UK’s designer lingerie brands is amazing! Michelle for George lingerie at Asda is gorgeous and fits perfectly.”

Ruby’s modeling runs in the family. Kimberly, Rod’s ex-wife Rachel Hunter, and Rod’s wife Penny Lancaster have all modeled lingerie for Ultimo (in the pics below). But I think Ruby is winning this contest. Sorry, Kim. And geez, Rod, you’ve got some lovely ladies around you.

The 37-year-old supermodel was spotted ca noodling on a Miami beach with a lad thirteen years her junior. The fella is none other than hunky 24-year-old ice hockey star Jarret Stoll. Rachel divorced singer Rod Stewart in November 2006. Good for her!

Michael Jackson will make a rare public appearance at the World Music Awards in London next month, organizers announced Sunday.

The reclusive king of pop will receive a Diamond Award, given to artists who sell more than 100 million albums, at the industry ceremony on Nov. 15.

“We are thrilled to be bringing the World Music Awards to London, the music capital of the world,” said founder Melissa Corken. “The presence of Michael Jackson is very exciting for us.”

Jackson has made few appearances since being acquitted of child molestation charges in June 2005. He left the United States soon after and has spent time in Bahrain and Ireland.

Jackson last performed in Britain in 1997. In 2001, he addressed the Oxford Union student debating society.

The World Music Awards were held in Monaco for 15 years before moving to the United States in 2004 and 2005. This year’s event at London’s Earls Court Arena is to be hosted by Lindsay Lohan , with performances from Beyonce , Mary J. Blige , Katie Melua and Andrea Bocelli .

The annual show business awards select winners based on the strength of their worldwide record sales. Previous recipients of the Diamond Award include Rod Stewart, Mariah Carey and Celine Dion . source

Paris Hilton Arrested for DUI (Video, Photos)

Paris Hilton driving drunk? Say it isn’t so!

Paris Hilton Arrested for DUI Handcuff Photo 1Paris Hilton Arrested for DUI Handcuff Photo 2

Paris Hilton was arrested in Hollywood early Thursday and charged with driving under the influence.

Paris Hilton Arrested for DUI (Video) TMZ has learned LAPD officers noticed Paris driving her Mercedes McLaren SLR erratically at 12:31 AM and stopped her. They believed she exhibited signs of intoxication. We’re told they administered a field sobriety test, and Paris blew a .08. In California, driving with a .08 blood alcohol level is the minimum level for DUI.

Paris was arrested and taken to the LAPD Hollywood division, where she was booked. The officers who stopped the car did not know it was Paris Hilton until they approached the vehicle on foot. Police sources say she was cooperative. Paris had a passenger in the car — Kimberly Stewart, Rod Stewart’s daughter.

[...]

TMZ spoke with Paris as she was driving home from jail, stopping for Parliament Lights cigarettes en route. She says she “regrets it occurred,” and adds that she has been up for 24 hours, having shot a music video all day. (TMZ had exclusive access to the music video set and our video will be posted in a few hours.) Paris says she had nothing to eat and no rest the entire day.

TMZ spoke with Lt. Russ Wong, the watch commander on duty at the Hollywood station. He tells TMZ Paris received no special treatment, however he acknowledges he did not hold her at the station for the standard minimum of three hours. Lt. Wong says he released her after an hour and a half because a gaggle of paparazzi appeared at the station and posed a significant traffic hazard which he needed to abate. Lt. Wong says it’s SOP to release a first-time DUI suspect without bail if a responsible party is there to drive them home — Elliot Mintz was that party.

She is pretty skinny, so I guess a skipped meal isn’t hard to understand. And one drink might actually be enough to put someone her size over the legal limit, which is ridiculously low in most states.

UPDATE: ASL’s Alyk was at the party with Hilton last night and says she was not “pissy drunk.” Wizbang’s Kevin seems a little skeptical.

Keith Urban - a LONG time ago

Ha! An old picture of Keith Urban has recently surfaced and I think it is quite humorous. He looks like a cross between an 80’s punk rocker, David Spade and Rod Stewart. LOL!! Funny, no?

Rachel Hunter Free at Last

Rachel Hunter is finally free of Rod Stewart, apparently answering his old question “Do you think I’m sexy?” in the negative.

SUPERMODEL Rachel Hunter is celebrating after learning she will be divorced from rocker Rod Stewart within days. The beauty has been in a legal battle with Rod for SEVEN YEARS. But last night the mum of two told pals: “I should be a free woman by the end of the week.”

Rachel, 36, who has been single since splitting from ice hockey player Sean Avery last year, also confided in friends: “My lawyers told me the divorce will be coming through finally this week so I can move on. It feels great to be a free woman at last.”

She was speaking as a new set of photos were released showing her looking as sensational as ever.

Rachel’s children, Renee, 13, and Liam, 11, are by superstar Rod, 61.

he couple married in 1990 after a three-month, whirlwind romance. They split nine years later. But Rachel had agreed not to take the singer to the cleaners by signing a prenuptial agreement. Lawyers have finally thrashed out a deal whereby Rod, who has a £100million fortune, provides maintenance for Liam and Renee.

And Rachel intends to pay her own way. She has said: “I have to work like everyone else. I have bills to pay.

Well, that’s a relief. It’s not clear what photos the Sun refers to, although it mentions later that she recently appeared in Sports Illustrated. The photo below accompanies the article, although it is dated 2003.

Rachel Hunter Swimsuit Photo (2003)

Hunter does indeed look nice along with the other supermodels on the cover of the 2006 SI swimsuit issue.

Maria Sharapova, Rebecca Romijn, and Carolyn Murphy are the most notable inside-the-covers models, though.

Unfortunately, however, Hunter is having difficulty finding a man.

Rocker Rod Stewart’s ex wife Rachel Hunter is reportedly so lonely that she is calling for any interested men to ask her out. The still very sexy Hunter, who has two children with the Stewart, says she can’t find a date and says all the handsome men she meets are taken.

The stunning looker is launching her own reality TV show ‘Style Me, With Rachel Hunter’ this month and says interested suitors should be gainfully employed, like children and be ready for a make-over. However, if you are a rock star, you need not apply - Hunter vowed last year never to date another musician again. She said: “It’s probably a good idea not to, if only to let the press interest die down. I haven’t meant to date rock stars … In Los Angeles I have plenty of friends working in the film and music industries, so it just ends up that way.”

One wonders what a supermodel considers “gainfully employed.” She probably means making money like a rock star. Yet, not actually being a rock star.

Still, one would think there are plenty of well-off men in their early 40s who would be happy to have Hunter and her kids. Apparently, though, incredibly hot Hollywood women of a certain age have trouble finding companionship, as Teri Hatcher voiced similar complaints a few months back. It’s truly sad.
