FameCrawler : Pink Floyd

Which One's Pink?

Contrary to popular belief, we do need some education. Especially when said education is in the finer things in life. For example, teaching one's child to appreciate Pink Floyd.

Guess the celebrity baby that was seen paying tribute to the lunatics in my head at Droolicious.

Pink Floyd's Wright Dead

Whit Honea — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 18:32:00 GMT

Richard Wright was the keyboardist for legendary rock band Pink Floyd. He died today after a brief battle with cancer.

I love Pink Floyd and have been a fan of Wright and his signature sound for as long as I can remember. He'll be missed.

Wright was 65 and had three children.

Happy Father's Day, Bob Geldof

Bob Geldof has done some impressing things in his time, starring in The Wall, organizing Band Aid, Live Aid and Live 8, and of course coming up with some of the most interesting baby names ever: Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom, and Little Pixie. This is him with Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily. He didn't name her, but she fits right in. Is there a Peter Pan theme there or is that just me?

Melanie Griffith Does Cool Mom Stuff

Whit Honea — Wed, 07 May 2008 20:34:00 GMT

Melanie Griffith took her kids and a friend to Coachella in the California desert.

If you've never been to Coachella, it's a huge weekend music festival that includes tons of artists. This year the line-up went from Prince, Roger Waters, and Jack Johnson to the Swell Season and some kid on the xylophone.

It's also HOT. It's like spending a weekend standing in an armpit, but with live music. I've had worse weekends.

Guitar Hero Presents: The New Odd Couple

Move over Oscar and Felix. Slash and Bill Gates are gaming buddies and I am officially one day older and one day closer to death.

I wonder if Bill showed Slash a thing or two on "Sweet Child of Mine."

To Sir Bob Geldof, With(out) Love

Is "Saint" Bob Geldof all that? He did form Band Aid, you know that Christmas song where George Michael and Bananarama are going to feed the world, so that's pretty cool. He did form Live Aid, you know that show on 2 continents that had Phil Collins playing both via a trip on the Conchord, so that's pretty cool. More recently he was behind the Live 8 series of shows, which, you guessed it, were pretty cool.

Now Bob is being labeled "Satan" which seems to conflict with his charitable image. It does bring to mind his spin as the main character in Pink Floyd's "The Wall," but come on, he was acting. That would be like assuming Sean Penn is big asshole just because he always plays a big asshole in his movies (notable exceptions: Fast Times and I am Sam).

Geldof's ex-wife Paula Yates, deceased, left Bob back in the day for INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, who coincidentally also had the devil inside. Long story short, Yates and Hutchence had a daughter together, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily (really), then they both died crazy rock and roll deaths.

Geldof took in Tiger Lily (I can't say that name enough. Why didn't I consider the cast of Peter Pan when thinking of baby names?) and has more or less, for better or worse, severed ties with her Australian grandmother Patricia Glassop, who, to bring this winding road full-circle, is the one throwing the "Satan" stuff around. The lady wants to see her granddaughter.

You like how I don't make my point until the end of the damn post? Interesting stuff though, isn't it?

TomKat Out, Brangelina In: The French Connection

Brad Pitt, Angeline Jolie and the kids, Maddox, Pax and Zahara, made a quick stop at The Aventure-Parc in Massignac, France.

The workers were in shock. Apparently the park doesn't cater to even local celebrities and having the world's biggest stars jumping in their bouncy castle was, in the words of one employee, "a hallucination."

That sounds much nicer than the hallucinations I used to have, what with the melting and the Pink Floyd soundtrack.

Sounds like the gang had fun.

Miss Halliwell, Tear Down That Wall!

Whit Honea — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 19:32:00 GMT

Geri Halliwell is pissing off her neighbors. No, she isn't making them listen to her music or spoon feed Posh. She's building a 12' high wall around her home, and the people on her street think it is an eyesore.

The neighborhood that Geri and her daughter, Bluebell Madonna, live in, is one that features state of the art security and some of Europe's most expensive homes. There are no other walls of such grandeur to be seen. Apparently, Halliwell thinks enough of herself to warrant such measures to ensure the paparazzi outside can't bother her (Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy, banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall- Pink Floyd. Come on, how often will I have that chance?).

She does feed them the occasional bone though, as she is prone to taking frequent walks with child and/or dog. Seems a bit of the tease, doesn't it? I call Spicy!
