Dee Snider, the singer and main songwriter of metal legends Twisted Sister, and the "world's greatest front man", who is also a solo artist, DJ, radio show host, actor, producer and movie writer (Strangeland) can now add "reality star" to his credits. Dee has joined the ranks of other rock stars with their own TV shows such as Ozzy, Bret Michaels and Gene Simmons with his new show Growing Up Twisted on A & E.
It's funny how Dee has a reputation for being so wild on stage, but on his show he's the sanest one in the family! And all around the Net people are saying that he has one of the hottest reality show wives, his wife Suzette, with whom he's been with for like 30 years!
I must say the show is one of the most entertaining reality shows out there. You can get info and even watch full episodes on the website below.
The stars were out for The Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre’s 41st Anniversary Gala held at the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre in Hollywood last night.
This is the most accurate personality test I've ever done. It's the one they use in Scientology. Many people that take it often realize things about themselves they didn't notice before. Check it out! Click below:
Lady Gaga is breaking records in all types of ways lately.
To name a few, just over a week ago the 24 year old New Yorker became the first living person to have over 10 million Facebook fans!
A couple days ago she broke the attendance record for the Today Show having about 20,000 fans show up, lining up for blocks, and many sleeping out in the streets the night before just to for a CHANCE to see her perform a 30 minute set for the show.
Gaga is also the first artist to have her videos reach 1 billion views! Three of her music videos hold spots in the 100 Million Club, including "Poker Face" (374,606,128), "Just Dance" (272,941,674) and "Bad Romance" (360,020,327).
She is now the only digital-era artist to top the 5 million sales mark with her first two hits, according to Yahoo Music. Lady Gaga broke the record when her single "Poker Face" reached 5 million in sales after her debut single, "Just Dance," accomplished that feat last year.
If that's not enough, in an era where the concert industry is struggling to sell tickets, Gaga is selling out arenas all around the world for her “Monster Ball” tour.
Then it was the recent changing of the Grammy rules because of the contoversy over her first hit single, “Just Dance".
Why do so many people like Lady Gaga? Well for one thing, some of her songs are so darn catchy that even those people that don't really like her can't help but find themselves humming one of her tunes! Not to mention that she is a very refreshing change to the seriousness and blase sounds and attitude that the "Alternative" music scene has brought us over the past 15 years. I don't think it's coincidence that the music industry started dying around the time exciting and fun music and style started to disappear, and that about the only real surge it has experienced is when Lady Gaga revisited those 80's style's and attitude. She even tried to make it as one of those serious singer/piano player chicks just a few years ago, but thankfully she got dropped from her record company! And judging by her recent success, I think a few million other people are thankful she chose the path she did.
Job stress is a common problem in this world. Do you ever feel confused or stressed or overwhelmed about your job, or even about finding a job? Or do you ever feel stressed, confused or overwhelmed about anything for that matter?
Rock vocal legend Ronnie James Dio passed away this week from stomach cancer.
Ronnie was widely regarded as one of the very best hard rock vocalists of all time. He first had success in the 60's with his "doo wop" style bands Ronnie Dio and the Prophets, and Ronnie and the Red Caps (do a search on Youtube, you won't believe your ears!), then as a hard rock singer as a member of Rainbow, then as Ozzy's replacement in Black Sabbath, recording what many regard as Black Sabbath's best albums- "Heaven and Hell" and "Mob Rules". He then went on to a very successful solo career with his band Dio, with such hard rocking hits as "Rainbow In The Dark" and "Last In Line". Most recently he has been successfully touring the world with his Black Sabbath band mates calling the band "Heaven and Hell", to differentiate it from the Ozzy Osbourne headed version of Black Sabbath that has toured in recent years.
One thing you always hear about Ronnie that his friends and people who have met him say, is that he was such a nice, gracious and polite guy.
Dio can be credited with single handedly popularizing the "devil's horns" hand gesture at rock concerts, etc. Dio says that his grandmother used to make the hand gesture to ward off the evil eye, which is very common among superstitious Southern Italians. The "horns," or "Corna," themselves are used both to scare away and give someone the "Malocchio" (the Evil Eye). Nowadays the hand gesture has just come to mean something like "you rock" or "rock on" at virtually any rock concert you may attend these days. I've even seen photos of Miley Cyrus doing it!
There will be a Public Memorial Service for Ronnie James Dio on Sunday, May 30th at 2:00 PM at The Hall Of Liberty located at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, 6300 Forest Lawn Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90068.
Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz are appearing together again on the big screen in Knight and Day. Looks like it's going to be an awesome action flick! It opens in theaters July 2nd, 2010. Check out the trailer!
Things are looking much better for Poison frontman and TV Star Bret Michaels. Bret is now out of the hospital and his doctors are saying he will make a full recovery from his brain hemmorhage. Unbelievalbly, he is scheduled to resume his Roses and Thorns concert tour with his solo band BMB on May 26th!
Below is a video of the song Raine from one of Bret's solo albums. It's about his daughter named Raine.
As many of you may know, Bret Michaels the singer for rock super-group Poison and star of such TV shows as Celebrity Apprentice and Rock of Love recently suffered some serious medical problems. First he had to get an emergency appendectomy, then a short time later he suffered a brain hemorrhage and has been in the hospital in critical condition. Even though doctors are now hopeful for a full recovery, and Bret is even scheduling concert tour dates for the end of this month, Bret really needs your positive vibes and prayers! He's not out of the woods yet.
Bret is at the peak of his fame right now, he's starring on Celebrity Apprentice, is scheduled to tour with with Lynyrd Skynyrd with his solo band this summer, and is planning on a huge Poison 25th anniversary tour next year. So this couldn't have happened at a worse time for Bret. And it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I've met Bret and seen him perform many times, and he was the most gracious and cool guy.
If one follows Bret's career you might say that Bret is prone to accidents and illness. He seems to have a lot of ups and downs in life. Well, what makes a person more prone to illness, accidents, and general ups and downs in life? I can't say for sure why Bret's life seems that way, but there is some good info on the Scientology Handbook website about why some people have ups and downs in life and are more prone to illness and accidents, and how one can avoid that condition. Check it out:
The new Scientology website has some cool new features... a new look, and new videos such as videos of the beautiful new Scientology churches, and even the upcoming new churches! Check it out!

Many of the best hard rocking bands of all time will be appearing at this year's Rock Fest.
First of all, Aerosmith is headlining this year's SRF! Guns N' Roses will be there too. And several of the other bands just happen to be many of my personal favorites! Such as: Cinderella, Billy Idol, Ratt, Winger, and even hilarious comedy-rockers Steel Panther!

Here is Cinderella, one of the main acts at this years SRF.
I would say that this book, Self Analysis by renowned author and Founder of Dianetics and Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard is one of the most valuable books ever written. Ever! I’m not kidding! It’s a simple self-help book of tests and therapeutic procedures based on the discoveries contained in Dianetics, the best selling self-help book of all time, over 20 million copies sold!
Tons of research went into this book in order to give a person benefits of the incredible Dianetics counseling technology, without needing another person to administer it, and with a lighter approach. While at the same time it can be completely life changing!
Some of the benefits of Self Analysis can be:
Improved general health, more energy, better memory, allergy relief, pain relief, relief from fears and phobias, more confidence, better sleep, freedom from addictions and emotional problems, and higher IQ, just to name a few!

The Knack has always been one of my all time favorite bands. Their biggest album "Get The Knack" has sold over 6 million copies so far, and is a fantastic album from start to finish! It's just loaded with fun catchy power-pop rockers, backed by great musicianship. They are one of the tightest rock bands ever.
Unfortunately, Doug Fieger, leader of The Knack who sang on the 1979 hit "My Sharona," and all their other songs died of cancer this past Sunday. He was 57. I was fortunate enough to meet Doug after one of their concerts a couple years ago, the band sounded fantastic, and he couldn't have been a nicer guy!
Below is a video from one of their hit songs off of "Get The Knack":

Judas Priest won the Grammy for Best Metal Performance for "Dissident Aggressor" from their album "A Touch of Evil Live". This is Judas Priest's 5th Grammy nomination.
The Grammy for best hard rock performance went to AC/DC for "War Machine" from "Black Ice".
It's the first Grammy win for both bands. And the 5th nomination for Priest. It's about time they've been recognized! It seems the Grammy's are finally getting more and more with it. This year's performances on the awards show were some of the best ever! Some of the highlights were Lady Gaga and Elton John performing together, Pink, Beyonce, and Bon Jovi with Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles.
Congrats to AC/DC, one of the greatest hard rock bands of all time, for being nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album - Black Ice, and Best Hard Rock Performance - War Machine.
Here is a great live video of Thunderstruck, one of my all time favorite AC/DC songs: http://www.acdc.com/
It is said that 80% of the world's population has some form of the herpes virus. If you've ever had Chickenpox, then you have the herpes virus in you, and you are now susceptible to getting the agonizing disease of Shingles, which is the Chickenpox virus manifesting itself later in life in a different, very painful way.
Herpes Simplex I (oral), Simplex II (genital), Shingles, Chickenpox, and most cold sores are all forms of the herpes virus. They stay in your body forever, and can cause all sorts of health problems for you later in life.
There is now an easy, reasonably priced, non-drug program you can do that can actually rid your body of any kind of herpes virus! And you will never have an outbreak again! It doesn't suppress the virus, it gets rid of it!
I have heard of several people that have tried this, friends of friends, etc. And they all said it completely stopped their outbreaks and other symptoms.
This company also has products for Colitis and Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Kevin Trudeau, who wrote the hugely successful, world changing book "Natural Cures They Don't Want You To Know About" has a fantastic new radio show. It's on many radio stations around the country.
