One Less Barenaked Lady

Whit Honea — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 21:04:00 GMT

Steven Page, who you might recall from a recent drug-related arrest, has left the popular band Barenaked Ladies after 20 years.

Page has 3 young boys, Isaac (12), Benjamin (10) and Jonah (7). He and his wife Carolyn separated in 2007. While the past couple of years smell of downward spiral, maybe Page just thought it was time for the ladies to put some clothes on. Let's hope so.

Kate Hudson's Son Rocks With the Oldies

Karl Erikson — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 14:36:00 GMT

Kate Hudson says that her son, 4-year-old Ryder, has a taste for the classics, as in Chuck Berry and The Beatles. "Ryder is such a smart boy. He is really into music right now. He likes to dance to Chuck Berry. Earlier on I said as a joke, ‘Who’s your favourite Backstreet Boy, Ryder?’ And he goes, ‘Well I like The Beach Boys‘."

Definitely a smart kid. Now throw in some Barenaked Ladies, a little Depeche Mode, and The Killers and you'll have yourself one well-rounded child.

Barenaked Ladies' Steven Page Has Drug Charges Dismissed, Kinda

Karl Erikson — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 11:32:00 GMT

Steven Page showed up in court yesterday in upstate New York to face felony drug charges. One of the lead singers of Barenaked Ladies, Page was arrested in July while visiting his girlfriend in NY. His girlfriend and another woman were arrested, too, for misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance (cocaine and pot). Steven is married to Carolyn Ricketts, though they are separated. They have three sons together: Isaac, 12, Benjamin, 10, and Jonah, 7.

Well, good news for Steven. The felony charge was reduced to a misdemeanor and he was given an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal, meaning the charges will be totally dropped if he remains trouble-free for the next 6 months.

Steven, 38, apologized to his family and BNL fans after his court appearance:

"I'm grateful...for this opportunity to further prove myself as a productive and law-abiding member of society. I look forward to the next six months as a period of healing and growth.

"It has meant a great deal for me to be shown the impact I have on others' lives. I am deeply moved and thankful. I also apologize to all those I have hurt and embarrassed during this episode. Respect, responsibility I have earned over the course of my life and my career thus far are important to me, and I am moving forward from this with gratitude and with hope."

It was Steven's lack of a criminal record that helped the charges get reduced. If he'd been convicted of the original charges, he could have spent up to 5-1/2 years in state prison.

Whew! That was close! I'm a big BNL fan and have seen them in concert 9 times. Straighten up and fly right, Mr. Page. I don't want to have to go to prison to see you sing. Oh, if I had $1,000,000, I'd buy you a green dress, Steve.

"Barenaked Ladies" Singer In Plane Crash!!!!!

Sassy Smith — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 04:33:00 GMT

What's with the celebrity crashes lately? Wow! Barenaked Ladies singer Ed Robertson has been involved in a plane crash!!

The singer's float-plane crashed north of Bancroft, Ontario, Canada, on Sunday. He survived!!

Adam Smith, rep for the band said, "Everyone is fine and that is the most important thing. That's all the comment we have at this time." It's believed that Ed was the one flying the plane when it crashed.

A police rep had this to say:

"At 12:30 p.m. a Cessna 206 was taking off from Baptiste Lake, lost airspeed and entered a wooded area west of the lake"

The plane was totaled and the four adults on board walked away mostly unharmed and reported the crash. Now those are some lucky folks!

Ed Robertson is married to Natialie and is a dad to Hannah, 12, Lyle, 9, and Arden, 6. I bet his family are so grateful and relieved tonight!

Coketime: Barenaked Lady Arrested

Whit Honea — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:29:00 GMT

Man, I loves me some Barenaked Ladies (and the band is good,too!). They've been supplying songs to my soundtrack since my senior year in high school (it was like a musical) and their latest CD "Snacktime" is a family favorite. How can you not love a kid's album that mentions Gordie Howe?

That's why I was disappointed to hear that lead singer Steven Page was arrested for possession of cocaine. I wish I could say I was surprised. Rock band is rock band, and just because BNL seem smarter than most doesn't mean they're smarter than most.

Steven Page was arrested on fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance on Friday in Syracuse.

Page separated from his wife last year and has three children, Isaac (11), Benjamin (9), and Jonah (7).

I guess we now know what Page would really do if he had a million dollars.
