Stevie is #123 and 124 - they didn't get the before year right either, it says 1978 instead of 1987.

Some of the other photos are downright scary.

Michael Bolton looks way better now - glad he cut off that ridiculous hair.

Ok - the now photo they dug up of Patti Smith may give me nightmares for weeks.

Queen Latifan looks fabulous. Rick Springfield is still a cutie...

Eddie Van Halen

Ok - that's all I have time to look at now...

I don't want to sound narrow-minded... especially for a guy who digs hairy underarms on men... but that was a total EWW.

I know what you mean. It's a free country, but man like you said, EWEWW!

[tuigirl]

Oh wow, great pics. Didn't Jimmy Paige spruce up nicely! Sting and Grace Slick (love her silver hair) look fab and all I can say about Jon Bon Jovi =damn good genes
VERY nice
Anyone care to a do Mac individuals comparison?

[JazmenFlowers]

lord, Lil Kim did nothing but eat in jail.

Dolly is always fab...as is Jon Bon Jovi.

Grace Slick actually looks better.

poor Linda Ronstadt.

awww...they picked the most adorable picture of Stevie!

but, um, why are Christina and Britney in this set?

[xdreamsunwindx]

Seriously? You coulda picked better photos of Chrissie Hynde, NBC. She looks amazing, though. I saw The Pretenders up front like, 5 times this year, and got to chat with her for a while, and she truly looks fabulous. She looks the same as she did back in '79.

Other thoughts -

- Noooo, Barry Manilow didn't have any work done at all.
- Michael Stipe looks scary.
- Rod Stewart is scary.
- I still love Adam Ant, even though he looks like a Weebl right now.
- The Beastie Boys are still awesome, and they look great.
- Tom Petty & Elvis Costello = adorable.
- Dolly = fabulous.
- Roger Daltry is a fox.
- -____- Bon Jovi -____-

[trackaghost]

Yeah, the pictures of Chrissie could definitely have been better.
And I think you should add Barry Manilow to the scary list! He's creepy.

Ugh, Gary Glitter's recent pic should be behind bars.

EDDIE VAN HALEN - Howard Stern Interview Highlights Available
Posted on Thursday, September 14, 2006 at 22:05:33

As previously reported, VAN HALEN guitarist Eddie Van Halen appeared on The Howard Stern Show on September 8th to promote the upcoming porn movie Sacred Sin, for which he recorded two songs. Rollingstone.com has posted the complete highlights from the interview as follows:

On curing his tongue cancer without chemo or radiation:
Eddie Van Halen: “I cured my cancer in a way that’s not exactly legal in this country. I’d tell you, but I don’t want to go to jail. When you drink your damn draino it just holds it at bay. It comes back. Cancer is like a cockroach. It just comes back stronger. I’m tearing apart the immune system of the cockroach and seeing how it ticks. I’ve opened up my own pathology center. Some of us open tequila bars in Mexico, I’m curing cancer. They cut a healthy piece of my tongue off and grew healthy cells outside of my body and tested them. I’m missing a third of my tongue. They butchered me. I didn’t quit smoking after I got tongue cancer cause smoking didn’t cause it.”

On a possible reunion with David Lee Roth:
HS: “Diamond David Lee Roth never wanted piano in Van Halen.”
EVH: “You mean cubic zirconia?”
HS: “You’re never going to do a reunion with him, are you?”
EVH: “Ummm…You know, I’m open to anything.”
HS: “Really? He makes it seem like you are never open…”
EVH: “In 2000 Alex and I tried to pull something together with him.”
HS: “What happened? You couldn’t stand being around him?”
EVH: “No, the guys’s a loose cannon - but I can deal with loose cannons.”
Robin: “Everyone says you’re the problem.”
EVH: “Yeah, because I don’t respond or talk about this stuff.”

On Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony’s current Sans Halen tour:
EVH: “Michael Sobolewski [Michael Anthony’s real last name] is out touring with ‘the little red rocker’ … I mean the little red worm. I got no problem with these guys, but they’re billing themselves as the other half of Van Halen. My brother is the other half of Van Halen. They’re out there selling hot sauce and tequila and playing all my songs. It doesn’t bother me. It just makes them a cover band.”

On the porno movie he wrote two songs for:
EVH: “I don’t call it porn. I call it sex. It’s like Braveheart with a cum shot. Everyone’s giving me their dweeb opinion about this - but without sex you wouldn’t be here to give me your dweeb opinion.”

On his new girlfriend:
EVH: “I have a girlfriend. Her name’s Janie. She’s a press agent…You’re damn right she’s super hot. We met at a press conference. We’ve been together two months.”

On his fifteen-year-old son Wolfgang joining Van Halen:
EVH: “My son Wolfgang plays drums, guitars and bass. This kid is f**king dangerous. If I excel at the speed of sound, he excels at the speed of light. My brother goes, ‘This is the first time I’ve had bass in my headphones.’ He’s only fifteen years old and he’s getting laid. He’s spanking it too.”
HS: “How do you know that?”
EVH: “When you spend 45 minutes in the bathroom you’re not taking a shower. … Valerie and I have joint custody of Wolfgang. For the last couple of weeks Alex, he and I have been jamming together.”
HS: “You wouldn’t go back on the road with Hagar, would you?”
EVH: “I’m pretty much open to anything. What’s going to happen is that there’s a new member of Van Halen, and that is my son.”
HS: “I’m hearing your son is in and Michael Anthony is out.”
EVH: “My son is in and Sobolewski can do whatever he wants. The name Van Halen, the family legacy, is going to go on long after I’m gone. This kid is just a natural. I’m going to have him play on a solo record, and it’s going to be out - he and I.”

Rock stars??

By the way, QL looked like she had a 'stache too. Axl looks good. I have always thought Sting was hot, young or old.


I love this guy:

Willie Nelson cited for drug possession Mon Sep 18, 1:06 PM ET

BREAUX BRIDGE, La. - Willie Nelson and several members of his band were issued misdemeanor citations for drug possession early today during a traffic stop in Saint Martin Parish.

The traffic stop was conducted on Interstate 10 near Breaux Bridge.

Trooper Willie Williams says troopers smelled a strong odor of marijuana when the driver opened the bus door.
