Bowl You Little Punk!

Get Ready for the 18th Annual Punk Rock Bowling & Music Festival in 2016!

Punk Rock & Bowling go together like Fire & Gasoline, F#@k Yes!

Punk Rock Bowling is pleased to announce the first round of bands for the 18th Annual Punk Rock Bowling Tournament and Music Festival to take place in Las Vegas, NV from May 26-30 and the inaugural debut of PRB East in Asbury Park, NJ from June 10-12, 2016.

Due to overwhelming demand from our East Coast brethren that just can’t make the cross country trek to the City of Sin, we will celebrate our 18th Birthday on both coasts for 2016. And to take part in the celebration, Punk Rock Bowling is proud to announce a sneak peak of the lineup so far. . .

Flogging Molly, Descendents, Cock Sparrer, Flag, Exploited, Dagnasty, Subhumans, Dillinger Four, Anti-Nowhere League, Youth Brigade and The Dwarves have all signed on to play so far.

This is just the beginning for the 18th Annual Punk Rock Bowling Tournament and Music Festival.  Go to  www.punkrockbowling.com, and the new redesigned website, and follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for the latest updates and news around the festival.

“Not only are we are excited to bring Punk Rock Bowling back to downtown Las Vegas, but to finally bring our festival to Asbury Park, is a dream we’ve been talking about for years”, says co-founder Mark Stern. “What better place on the east coast is there for our fans who have wanted to experience our world of bowling, punk rock, and a gathering of our closest friends. Throw in an ocean view and the infamous Asbury Park Boardwalk and I think you’ve got yourself a great weekend.”

“And for those of you who will be coming to Las Vegas, we cannot wait to see you for a weekend of mayhem, bowling, poker, pool parties, late night club shows and of course the best punk rock festival in North America. Punk Rock music is a way of life, it’s the unwanted step child, it’s a community unlike any other and this event is a celebration of its existence as one of the most influential forms of music in the past 40 years.”

The outdoor music festival, which will take place at 7th Street and Stewart Ave. in Downtown Las Vegas and now also at The Stone Pony Summer Stage in Asbury Park, NJ is an all-ages event that features some of the best punk, ska, and hardcore bands from all over the world. Cheap drinks, a wide variety of innovative food options, as well as clothing and music vendors are welcome distractions throughout the day.

Anna Kendrick Not So "Pitch Perfect"

Anna Kendrick Wearing The Technicolor Yawn
By Dolce & Gabbana

Yep it's that time of year where celebrities really let us know they are truly like us by wearing fugly ass Christmas Sweaters.

Well Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect, Pitch Perfect 2) this hybrid sweater dress that you are sporting by Dolce & Gabbana really takes a piece of cake of the highest order. Both Dolce and Gabbanna should get a spanking from Santa Claus for this inexplicable design!

Don't get me wrong, I love me some Kendrick! She is talented not to mention having a rapier wit on Twitter, and everywhere else she opens her mouth. Like the gem below for example:

But, Queen, please. What the Hello were you thinking by wearing this?! Were you in on the joke? Or did you think it was truly a lovely creation?

Since this is the season of giving, my gift to Anna is forgiveness for wearing something that would get a pass if her Grandmother had knitted it.

Keep Calm & Kendrick On!

All I Want For Christmas Is Uncle Jesse's Ass

John Stamos
Has A Booty To Flaunt!

52 year old John Stamos who starred in the family oriented sitcom Full House and is reviving it on Netflix as Fuller House. While he is currently starring on FOX in Grandfathered. 

He recently bared his ass in the pages of Paper Magazine, oh there was an interview too in case you care to read past this awesome sight.

Normally I do not mention ages of celebrities here on Entertain Me because I think they are irrelevant. However in the case of an actor starring on a comedy series about being a grandfather having the ass of some half his age, well, yeah, it felt like I should. Not to mention most JS fans have been panting for this much skin for a long while. Crossing our fingers what he is packing shows up in a pictorial soon!

With his successful decades spanning career there is no real reason for dropping trou other than flaunting it while you've still got it. Hey, that's enough reason for anyone over 50 to go for it!

'Tis The Season For S-E-X With Pamela Anderson

So as the world probably knows, OK for sure they know. Pamela Anderson will appear as the cover model and pictorial for the last nude issue of the iconic magazine Playboy. Yeah, don't ask me why they are ending their wonderful balance between class & sass some financial expert must have advised Hugh Hefner on that. Best Wishes.

Let's get back to Pamela. In my estimation Playboy hailed the official queen of that magazine. The most perfect cover model/icon ever and someone who I greatly respect as a person.

Why you ask? Because I have interacted with her. "Yes" I did an interview with her for Instinct Magazine, for the now defunct column: The Chick We'd Switch For.

She was charming, sweet and very giving during our chat on the phone. She then invited me down to her book signing for Star, which she co-wrote. At The West Hollywood Book Fair. She loves her gays and it was an invitation I gladly accepted.

I was V.I.P. before anyone else, yeah hate me I didn't have to wait in line. She was sweet, remembered me from our phone conversation and even personalized a copy of Star with an autograph dedicated specifically to my Mom ( I gave it to her as a Christmas gift that year.)

Below I hope you can read it, is my interview with Ms. Anderson.

Have A Sexy Holiday Season!

Taylor Hicks Goes "Silent" For The Holidays

TAYLOR HICKS RELEASES NEW 'SILENT NIGHT' SINGLE

IN CELEBRATION OF HOLIDAY SEASON


‘In Your Time’ and ‘Under The Radar’ albums available now
 

Taylor Hicks celebrates the Holiday Season by doing what many other popular artists before him have done. His own version of "Silent Night" - all the popular people are doing it, peer pressure, peer pressure! Taylor Hicks, the Alabama-bred entertainer who first won over the hearts of America by winning the fifth season of "American Idol," is making a lots of heads (and ears) turn with his inspiring version of a Christmas classic – just in time for the holiday season. The million-selling recording artist has just released his stirring take on the standard “Silent Night,” which he says is very meaningful to him. “I remember going to church on Christmas Eve and singing ‘Silent Night’ would just give me chills… All the lights in the church went dark. We would all sing softly together as we lit candles down the aisle. With the Nativity on the altar and being surrounded by my closest friends and family, it really made me feel the true spirit of Christmas – and still does to this day,” Taylor said. “When we recorded the single a couple months ago, it was well after midnight. The studio was dark and we lit candles to help get us into that same spirit. What we laid down that night was very heartfelt, and I really hope the fans can feel that, too. There’s too much darkness in the world today – and my hope is that this song can shed some light into those dark places." “Silent Night” has already become the number one streamed song on the weekly PlayMPE Chart for the Christian music format, and is also being worked to pop radio and Holiday-oriented stations. The single is also available digitally through iTunes and Amazon. The singer is getting himself in the holiday spirit with his appearance in the Hollywood Christmas Parade over Thanksgiving weekend, which will air on December 11 at 8pm ET/PT on the CW Network. He will return to his home state by helping to light the Alabama state capitol tree in Montgomery on Friday, Dec. 4th. Taylor will then lend skiing talents to the Deer Valley Celebrity Skifest (#DVSKIFEST) on CBS December 13. "One of my favorite things about the holiday season is having the opportunity to give back," said Taylor. "Toys for Tots is a wonderful charity that I look forward to working with every year. There is no better feeling than being able to give back and be a small part of making a child’s Christmas extra special." As 2015 wraps up for Hicks, the singer can point to a very busy past twelve months. Hard at work on a new album set for release next year, the singer has also seen two of his previous albums released digitally for the first time - 1997’s In Your Time and 2005’s Under The Radar. Hicks has also made his mark on the culinary world as a partner in Saw’s Juke Joint, located in the Birmingham area. The eatery has become one of the most popular restaurants in the region for barbecue. TAYLOR HICKS ON TOUR: Dec. 04 Annual State Christmas Tree Lighting / Montgomery, AL Dec. 13 Celebrity Skifest Competition / CBS Network Jan. 16 Bartlett Performing Arts Center / Bartlett, TN (SOLD OUT) Feb. 13 Pastime Theatre / Winfield, AL For more information, visit TaylorHicks.com and follow him onTwitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Gone Too Soon, Scott Weiland
