Slash Is One Smart Dad

Former Guns N' Roses lead guitarist Slash, who is currently lead guitarist for Velvet Revolver, is by all accounts, a very smart dad. Why?

Slash was a proud owner of 80 snakes, which consisted of mostly deadly pythons and boas, and they lived with him at his home. He decided that perhaps he should get rid of them as they weren't the best pet for his first born son and had fears that one or more could escape and find it's way into his baby's nursery. Brilliant!

The rocker told Britain's Mojo magazine that he was "quite relieved" to let his pets go. "Feeding them all by myself had become a bit of a job. I missed the old days when it was just a matter of finding a couple of dead rats around the corner."

Smart thinking dad. See?

Slash has two sons, London Emilio and Cash Anthony with wife Perla Ferrar.

Who Needs an Idol? Chris Daughtry Wins Big at AMAs

Looks like a good week to be an American Idol runner-up. First, one gets engaged and is probably pregnant, and now another kicks ass at the AMAs. Daughtry, Chris Daughtry's self-titled band, won three awards at last night's American Music Awards, taking honors for Favorite Pop/Rock Album and Favorite Breakthrough Artist. Their third award was for best Adult Contemporary Artist, beating out heavyweights such as Norah Jones and John Mayer. If you'll remember, Daughtry, a father of four, was fourth runner up on season five of American Idol

I would make a joke about Taylor Hicks here, but those Soul Patrol people would probably kick my ass.

Nick Cokas and Katharine McPhee Engaged...And Expecting?

American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee announced that she is engaged to cradle-robber actor Nick Cokas. But now some media outlets are speculating that Mcphee, 23, is also pregnant with her first child with Cokas, 43.

As you can see by the picture where she's holding her stomach, she seems to be experiencing a little pregnancy nausea. Either that or she just heard Taylor Hicks' new CD.

Also, McPhee has been seen lately wearing huge, loose-fitting shirts, the first sure sign of pregnancy. Or bad taste.
