Joan of Dark: JOAN JETT can do whatever she wants
from: ocweekly.com
Nobody thought JOAN JETT would make it in a Broadway musical. But then, nobody thought JOAN JETT would make it anywhere. When she told everyone as a kid that she was going to be a famous rock star one day, they all said, "Yeah, sure." When she took her demo tape with "I Love Rock ’n’ Roll" and "Crimson and Clover" to 23 different record labels, they said, "No hits here."

ONE JOHN FITS PAM AND KID
from: dailynews.yahoo.com
PAM Anderson and Kid Rock enjoyed a hot streak at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas Saturday night - and not just at the blackjack tables. The trailer-trash power couple were "all over each other" while gambling in the hotel's Peacock Lounge before disappearing into a one-toilet bathroom reserved for high rollers. After complaints from players waiting to use the john, a security guard knocked on the door and asked if everything was okay. Moments later, sources say, a glowing Anderson and Kid Rock emerged and assured the smirking sentry all was well. Kid's bathroom break with Anderson may explain why he looked so happy on-stage with pal Sheryl Crow and Keith Richards during an all-star jam here at Shine on Monday night, where Crow also dueted with Stevie Nicks. Attendees of the packed show included Meg Ryan, Matt Damon, Anjelica Huston, Sandra Bernhard, Kevin Bacon , Ben Stiller, John McEnroe, Sting's wife Trudie Styler and JOAN JETT.
