Lars Ulrich's Kids Now Think He's Awesome

Josh loposer — Mon, 11 May 2009 16:01:00 GMT

Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich is enjoying a newfound level of respect from his kids now that he's been immortalized as a character in one of the most iconic games of a generation: Guitar Hero.

Sure, Liev Schreiber may have a 7-Eleven Slurpee cup action figure -- and that might get you pretty far with a 2-year-old -- but doesn't even begin to compare with the coolness factor of being a star of one of your child's favorite video games. Lars' appearance in Guitar Hero: Metallica has apparently had a profound effect on the respect he gets from his little ones: Layne, 8, and Myles, 10 and a half.

“In the age of spending a lot of time forcing them to finish their vegetables and do their home work and get to school on time, [that] dad actually has his own video game certainly helps. And will continue to help into adolescence!”

Ulrich's youngest, 23-month-old Bryce Thadeus is a little too young to get in on the digitized guitar shredding that goes on in the Ulrich playroom. Luckily, he's also a little too young to start rolling his eyes when dad's being totally lame.

Gwen Stefani, Gavin, and Kingston Stayin' Alive!

Ah, the days of roller disco, may they never - EVER - come back. The mirror ball, KC & the Sunshine Band, leisure suits on skates. Thank God things are more tame with the likes of Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale, and their hybrid son, Kingston. Here they are skating the day away at the Moonlight Rollerway in Los Angeles.

Rossdales Enjoy Some Family Time

It was a gorgeous Sunday in Ventura, CA, and the Rossdales were loving it at the Tree Park. Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale, Kingston, and Zuma took a nice walk. Looks like Gwen was checking Zuma for some "special surprises," too.

And, um, Kingston in a wife beater? Could you look any more "My Name is Earl?" Or maybe Kid Rock?

Killers' Brandon Flowers Says Fatherhood Gives Life Context

Karl Erikson — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 22:37:00 GMT

With the release of their new album "Day & Age" coming next week, The Killers are preparing for a world tour. Frontman Brandon Flowers, 27, says it's difficult to tour when he has 16-month-old Ammon at home with his wife Tana. Tana "gets to stay home and do fun things with the baby," Brandon says. "Our kids are gonna be lucky." Of course, his recording time and all that world traveling to support his music has its price.

"He cries when I go to the store. And then if I'm gonna go for a month I think, 'Is he gonna remember me?' It's hard. It's scary. But we'll figure it out. People have been doing it for a while."

His son helps his faith, Brandon says. And while he still doesn't quite "feel like a man," he says that Ammon has taken him "a giant step" closer to the goal. "I'm trying my best to become one," he says. "And a good one. Fatherhood puts it all in context. I'd always think of how much I wanna devote my life to what I do and that just hit a brick wall. 'Uh, I really gotta rethink thing.'"

Ammon is Brandon's and Tana's first child. They married 3 years ago. The new Killers album drops next week. And dare I say it? The first track is killer. Listen yourself.

What Celebrity Preggo Tied The Knot??

Sassy Smith — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 19:02:00 GMT

She's pregnant with her second child, although it's her first child with her new husband. What actress tied the knot on Wednesday?

Italian actress Asia Argento and director Michele Civetta were married on August 27 in Arezzo, Italy. Asia's daughter Anna Lou, 7, served as ring-bearer. Anna's father is Marco Castoldi, lead singer of Italian rock band, Bluvertigo. Asia and Michele are expecting their first child together in September.

Argento is known for her roles in Marie-Antoinette, Land of the Dead and xXx.

Lenny Kravitz to Velvet Revolver: Are You Gonna Go My Way?

Whit Honea — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 18:04:00 GMT

I doubt Lenny Kravitz actually said that, as it would be cheesy, not to mention I made it up. Still, the rocker is rumored to be the favorite for the role of Velvet Revolver frontman.

It's been a regular who's who of daddy rockers being linked to the opening. The job was Scott Weiland's, but he got canned for being too Scott Weiland. He went back to his family and his first band, Stone Temple Pilots. Apparently they are all gluttons for punishment- and good tunes.

Then the rumored replacement was one Royston Langdon, of the recently split from Liv Tyler Royston Landgons. You've got to figure if he's letting Liv Tyler go he can't be any smarter than Weiland. Hopefully he'll go back to Spacehog, they were good.

Enter Kravitz. He writes songs for his kids and washes his hands of illicit affairs. He's like a relative saint.

Kravitz in a band does seem odd though- very Van Hagar, but (hopefully) better.

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.
