CHIODOS frontman CRAIG OWENS has apologised to fans for using "vulgar" comments during a live performance.
Owens was performing at England's Download Festival at the weekend (14Jun08) when he was heckled by a fan.
The American singer claims the audience member was making a phallic symbol with his hand during the band's performance.
After spotting the fan's actions, Owen responded to the fan: "What you want? To do that to my d**k? You're 11! I could get it out and it could reach you from here. But that would be illegal."
But he now regrets his actions.
He tells Gigwise.com, "If I made a remark like that in America, I'd have lost about 500 fans. Here in the U.K., you guys are really cool and find that sort of s**t funny. Thank God."
Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz exchanged vows in an intimate wedding ceremony on Saturday evening, their spokesperson has confirmed. The top-secret event was held at Simpson's parents' home in Encino, California and was attended by 150 guests, including Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, actor Donald Faison and the pop star's big sister Jessica Simpson, who served as maid of honor. Jessica's boyfriend, American footballer Tony Romo, was also present at the ceremony, despite reports the couple has split. Ashlee wore an ivory lace Monique Lhuillier gown, complete with a diamond necklace and earrings by Neil Lane. Father of the bride Joe Simpson, a former Baptist minister, performed the non-denominational service, and Fall Out Boy bassist Wentz's English bulldog, Hemingway, was the ring-bearer, reports People.com. Confirming the reports on Saturday night, the couple's representative says, "We're delighted to confirm that Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson were married this evening in front of family and close friends." The newlyweds celebrated their new status as husband and wife with an Alice in Wonderland-themed reception, with black beauty roses by Mark's Garden decorating each table. The wedding cake, by Sam Godfrey of Perfect Endings, featured a top hat, a tea pot, a stop watch and a pot of flowers on top. The marriage comes amid rumors Ashlee is pregnant with the couple's first child. Both stars, who have been dating since 2006, have repeatedly dodged questions surrounding the alleged pregnancy, refusing to confirm or deny the reports.
SHARON STONE has reportedly cut short a trip to Sweden so she can spend time with a cancer-suffering friend.
The actress jetted to be by the side of her longtime pal Kristen, after discovering her cancer had gotten worse, reports the New York Daily News.
A source tells the newspaper, "Kristen has cancer and it spread. She's just in her early 40s. They're very close."
Not much has changed in the line of advertising � where you do what you have to in order to sell whatever it is you�re promoting.
It�s the same now as it was in the 1960s, where the award-winning and critically acclaimed series Mad Men, premiering Sunday on CTV at 10 p.m., is set.
Created by Emmy Award-winning writer and producer Matthew Weiner (The Sopranos), this dramatic program is based on the lives of ruthlessly competitive men and women working in the advertising world of 1960 Manhattan.
It depicts the sexual exploits and social mores of the most innovative yet merciless profession.
Mad Men unfolds around Golden Globe-winner Jon Hamm as Don Draper, one of the biggest ad men in the business as he calls the shots in the boardroom � and the bedroom � he struggles to stay a step ahead of the rapidly changing society and the young executives nipping at his heels.
In the debut episode, America�s favourite pastime � smoking � is under scrutiny as a Reader�s Digest story reveals that the habit is deadly. And Don is under pressure from his client Lucky Strike to spin the information in tobacco�s favour.
Though it�s not all about smoky boardrooms, booze and sex the way it was then, it�s still as cut throat, if not worse. Advertising is around us every day, it doesn�t matter where you are. Look around you.
From billboards to park benches, magazines to newspapers, radio to television, it�s everywhere. If we look at what we�re wearing from head to toe, you�ll find that we�re walking advertisements.
When you pick up that Guess purse or those Sean Jean sweat pants or that Calvin Klein suit � you�re selling just like any advertiser in the business.
In advertising it really doesn�t matter what you want, who you are or what you love � it�s all about �the sell.�
