Dave Grohl - Babies and Beatles (Video)

Whit Honea — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 22:34:00 GMT

When Dave Grohl isn't fighting Foo he's busy changing diapers. Well, I don't know if Violet is still in diapers, but you get the idea- every hero has a day job.

Dave and his wife Jordyn Blum are expecting baby number two this spring.

This picture was taken at the Grammy Awards, shortly before Grohl joined one Sir Paul McCartney on stage for a bit of the bad-assery.

Unfortunately (for the Grammys), the people that run the Grammys are out of touch with a little thing called reality and like to pull their videos from YouTube and the like which only goes to lessen interest in them or their award show. Luckily, there are better videos of Grohl and McCartney available:

NIN's Josh Freese and Girlfriend Expecting

Karl Erikson — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 19:44:00 GMT

Trent Reznor wrote on the Nine Inch Nails web site: "Josh Freese fans, be sure to check out a show on the upcoming North American leg of the tour, as sadly they will be the last ones he's playing with us. He informed me he's leaving the tour at the end of this year."

Josh Freese is the drummer for Nine Inch Nails. He and his girlfriend, Nicole Amdrer, are expecting their third child in January. Freese is looking forward to more family time. He's been with NIN since 2005. At 35, that's pretty young to retire, so I'm sure he'll be in another band or project relatively soon. For now, though, he's on the road with NIN through Christmas or so...then it's the Waiting Game.

Mick Fleetwood's Daughter Scare

Whit Honea — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:54:00 GMT

Rock legend Mick Fleetwood of the band Fleetwood Mac had a real scare on Friday. His 6-year-old daughter was turning cartwheels by the pool (um, hello?), hit her head and fell in the water.

She was revived at a nearby hospital and has recovered fully.

Cartwheels by the pool? Seriously?

Travis Barker Dead: The Hoax

Whit Honea — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 15:25:00 GMT

The word is everywhere, Travis Barker of the Transplants, +44, Blink 182 and "Meet the Barkers" fame was apparently found dead in his garage. Yet the internet holds no official statements or acknowledgments- either way.

While I feel that this is most likely a hoax, where are the statements from Barker? I understand that a celebrity can't go around and comment on every rumor that starts about them, but one that has this much fever should be acknowledged. It's like Paul McCartney all over again*. He shouldn't just ignore it and stay out of view. Who is he- Castro**?

In fact, while most sites tend to agree that this is not true, only one actually states it, that being the Travis Barker Wikipedia page. Sure, that's more official than... well, nothing. Anyone can add to a wiki.

So where is Barker? Is he going to let his fans know that he is okay or just let it escalate to the heights of unforgettable urban legend. If the latter is true there must be a CD or DVD tie-in coming. The press is fantastic.

UPDATED: It's not true!!

*Paul McCartney was rumored dead back in the day. The Beatles had some fun with it.

**Castro, the leader of Cuba has been rumored dead recently. Official statements came from Cuba that he was well, but they did not provide any proof that the ailing dictator still lived.

***Sorry, I bought a ton of these *'s because of the Bonds thing. I'm going to be rich!
