CRUED NEWS
August 29, 2004
Okay, okay. Yeah, two weeks again. But now we're not even going to make excuses. What the hell? Summer is over in a few days, of course we wanted to make the best of it!!! Anyway, two weeks is a lot of news, so get updated. And don't scowl. Don't think we don't see.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 13: Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil sat down exclusively with MuchMoreMusic's Bill Welychka in Buffalo, NY yesterday and cleared up recent rumours of a possible reunion/ farewell tour. That's exactly what he said then:
"Two weeks ago in L.A., Tommy , Nikki , myself and Mick by phone sat in a room together with all the attorneys to see if we even wanted to do this. The fans are asking for it and I think it's time. It's a good thing and a good time to put a 'period' on the Motley Crue story. After, we'll call it quits and go back to doing what we've been doing for the past few years. It'll be closure for me - and this won't go on to be 7 or 8 'farewell tours' like KISS or CHER... Everyone is on board and 95% committed. It's definitely time."
He also said that the tour is slated to last close to 2 years, and will most likely commence in February 2005.
Okay, Vinnie confirms the tour for the second time running, and for the second time running no-one else in the Crue backs him up. As we once said, we just hope neither Sixx nor Lee (who is more likely to do that) will pop up with indignant "I didn't promise him shit!" shit. That's getting, old guys. Just get your shit together and tour.

August 17: "Tommyland", Tommy Lee's new book, is now available for pre-order from S'Crue OnLine for almost 20% off the cover price. The hardcover book will be 320 pages with many illustrations and photographs. Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee has written his autobiography with assistance from Anthony Bozza. It will hit store shelves on October 19th.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 25: Tommy Lee is to be the star of NBC TV's latest reality show, a half-hour unscripted comedy with cameras following Tommy�s every move as he enrols in college and takes three or four classes per week. The creator of Bands Reunited and Wanda Does It, Eddie October, is behind the project, which is set up at NBC Universal Television and has a series commitment at the network. October and Lee will executive-produce the untitled series along with Brian Transeau, Richard Bishop and Brad Wyman with Tommy�s manager Carl Stubner co-producing. The producers say he will do what normal college students do: root for the football team, study in the quad and have some good ol' fashioned college fun. The college in question was supposed to be The University at Buffalo, but the institution declined to be involved in this new show after learning who exactly would be their new student.
Umm... hmm. That Buffalo University... can't really blame them. Maybe the main guys there were just... right. Tommy Lee? Higher education? Holy shit...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 26: Vince Neil has reportedly signed on to star in MTV's The Remaking of Vince Neil, a show documenting Vince�s �attempt at a career comeback� with the help of makeover specialists.
So he changed his mind again and decided to try this. Well, he's blonde... Dude, just one request: NO PLASTIC SURGERY PLEEEEASE! That stuff's creepy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's about all. We'll try to be more regular... no this is NOT a "we're sorry" !!! We're not sorry. But we'll try. C-ya next week, if fall depression doesn't kill us. Which might just happen.
August 15 , 2004
We're back! Yeah, we know it's been two weeks. But let us assure you, we had our reasons. Really had. Really good reasons. We just... don't remember them. Nevermind. We found out later that we had no real newsbits that last week anyway. But now, of course, everything is different... so get your newswire! And don't you dare complain.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 8: Vince has made a guest appearance on The Crickets' latest album, 'The Crickets and their Buddies'. He's doing an excellent version of Sonny Curtis' 'I fought The Law', most famous version done by The Clash. ON the day of release you could download a soundclip here: www.scrueyou.net/VinceNeil_I_Fought_The_Law.mp3 . Check it out, maybe it's still there.
By the way, the album is full of good stuff, so if this one song doesn't make you buy it (and it's GOOD!), check the tracklist once more. And get it.

August 10: Vince Neil was supposed to meet with fans and sign autographs at Delta Sonic Car Wash, 6900 Peach St., Erie, Pa., this Tuesday from 4 to 7 PM. It was the part of Delta Sonic's four-day grand opening celebration to benefit Erie Shriner's Hospital for Children. We don't know if he did - we guess he was there. That's what Delta Sonic Executive Brett Benderson had to say about this: "We're very excited to have Vince Neil join us for our grand opening. We hope that all of Vince's fans come out to get an autograph and help us raise money for a very good cause." People could also win an overnight trip to Buffalo, N.Y. to see Vince Neil perform at "Thursday at the Square". Somebody must have done just that.
And don't say you missed it because we delayed the news. We. Don't. Care.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 10: Vince Neil will be presented with a special 'Rock 'n' Roll Award' at the upcoming 12th annual Nightmoves Adult Entertainment Awards Show on September 20 at Stormin's Palace in Tampa, FL. The Tampa Show, as it's known, is a five-day series of events and personal appearances, which culminates in a show where regional and national awards are presented by adult film stars and personalities. Unique to this venue, some of the stars show off their feature-dancing prowess between presentations. Neil has dabbled with adult entertainment for years and is a regular attendee of the AVN Awards. This year saw the release of Neil's signature adult title, "Vince Neil's Rocktails". Presenting the award to Neil will be RockConfidential.com's Jesse Capps. "It's a real honor to present Vince with this award," Capps said. "I've been digging MOTLEY CRUE for a long time. He's one of the guys that made me want to get mixed up in this rock 'n roll life and I'm lovin' every minute of it. It's very cool that I get to take part in recognizing a rock icon like Vince Neil." Playboy model Taylor Kennedy will be giving the award to Neil at the awards show. Capps is also working with Frameworks Media to prepare a special video montage to honor Neil before he is presented with the award.
When we thought he's getting an award at an adult entertainment awards show, we thought it was for the Janine video. So we're disappointed a bit. We mean, we're glad for him - YAY, GO VINNIE!!! But somebody just should give an award to this movie. We don't care how good or how bad he is there - he's the only one who brought Janine to FUCK A MAN ON TAPE!!! This feat of arms sure deserves to be awarded.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 11: Vince is featured in a VH 1's episode called "VH1 Goes Inside The Surreal Life". "VH1 Goes Inside: The Surreal Life" is a celebration of one of the most popular reality shows on television. The show takes a look at what happens when pop icon originals are all housed under the same roof for two weeks. It features and interview with Vince. We don't know if you missed that yet, to find out if you did and when you can watch the re-run, go right here:

That's basically all. We're aware the press has been all fuss about SPAMela's new book these weeks, but we won't comment on it just because. One thing we're not gonna read is SPAMela Anderson's books. However, it is rumored that after one of the conferences she hooked up with Kid Rock again, and after that told some paperman she was back with him. GO GIRL! And leave Lee alone already!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C-ya next week. Hopefully.
August 1 , 2004
Hi there. No special reason to drink for today, except that it's our cat's birthday, but you wouldn't car about our cat, would you? So use this day to clean up your act a bit. This is just the right time. Read the news - Sixx moralizes on Backstreet Boys, Tommy kicks the Pamela habit... it's not in the news, but Vince actually did do a show on July 24 in a wheelchair (RESPECT!) and wasn't even drunk. So be good. And read on.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 26: There was a celebrity golf event in Cabo that nobody knew about. But it featured Tommy Lee, and of course some guys saw him, so the event is no longer secret. Tommy Lee is too tall to be sneaky, dude. If we get pics, we'll post them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 27: Tommy Lee was photographed leaving Joseph's nightclub in Hollywood with porn star Jesse Jane this Tuesday. Digital Playground's exclusive contract superstar, Jesse Jane is featured on the cover of "Desensitized", DROWNING POOL's new album and she stars in their latest music video, "Step Up", which is available for download now on DrowningPool.com. Jesse is the host of her own domain, JesseJane.com and Digital Playground's hottest Internet show, "DP Tonight".
Okay. Now look at him and this girl. Look close.

You sure gonna ask us, 'In what way is she better than Pam? Fake blonde, fake boobs, pornstar. Phew.' Well, here's our answer: SHE'S YOUNGER!!! SHE'S PROFESSIONAL! AND SHE NEVER PUT TOMMY LEE IN THE SLAMMER!!! Go for her, Tommy! GO!!! Anything that is not Pam is good at this point!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 28: Nikki Sixx took his daughter Storm to a Backstreet Boys performance and was terrified! Before you nod understandingly, mind this: he wasn't terrified by the fact of BSB existence. And not even by the fact that his daughter should be a boy band fan. He was terrified by ... AJ McLean's AMORAL BEHAVIOUR!!!!! Here's his own take on the situation:
I've taken my daughter to a Backstreet Boys concert. She wanted to go and I wanted her to experience it from the audience perspective. So we were in the tenth row, and they dropped this huge ramp out and AJ, who's the 'bad one', comes out and grabs his dick with his hands, like, right in front of my daughter. I cover her eyes, and she's like, 'Dad'. And I was like, 'Oh my God, I must have put parents through hell.' Because I would actually pull mine out. That's the difference. That's why I covered her eyes - I was fucking embarrassed because he's a wimp. No, as a parent I was like, 'Oh no.' It's fucking hard work being a parent and a rock star at the same time. "I say 'fuck' and get fined in my own house. I'm going broke from my kids collecting on me for saying 'fuck'. I say 'fuck' paid for this house.' And then they charge me another dollar.
Poor poor Sixx. If he hadn't had a split personality disorder before, he's sure to get it now... and all because of some boy band!!! And we started saying long ago that they all should be eliminated in a most violent way... okay. Anyway, he mus'be lying about the fine. Because if they charged him a dollar for every 'fuck' he'd have to sell his bass to fuckin' pay it!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 30: Finally!!! FINALLY!!! Vince Neil has an official site now!!! It's right here: www.vinceneil.net and Shaun, the guy who runs Motley and Brides sites, runs it as well. Go there and post some quality pics in the gallery - now it's a bit poor. YAY!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's about all. Nice stuff about Tommy's new rubber doll and Vince's new site, so we're gonna go and drink to it right now. Right after we celebrate our cat's 11th Bday. Yeah, right! See ya next week!
