Have You Seen this Girl?

2008-10-20T18:43:00.000-07:00

Weezer recently posted a bulletin on iLike, which is their version of putting a face on a milk carton.

It says:

"We are trying to locate a female student that was in Rivers’ English 97 Sophomore Writing Tutorial with Professor Nancy Yousef in the Spring of 1997 at Harvard. If anyone remembers the women in this class (or if you were in the class with Rivers), please contact us immediately. Note: the surest way to contact us is via email: karl@weezer.com"

Any theories on why he is looking for her?

Is it just a Dream?

2008-10-20T18:08:00.000-07:00

It was around so briefly, you may have thought you dreamt the whole thing up, but now three of the four members of the pop-band known as Dream are reuniting, and even making music again!

Now you might not even remember the all-female, song and dance foursome Dream, especially if you were not a fan of the teen-pop/boyband genre. (Honestly, who wasn't?) Just in case you don't here's a quick refresher course.

Puff Daddy (as he was known at the time) signed Dream to his record label in 1999
The band's first single "He Loves You Not" peaked at #2 on the U.S. singles charts in 2001.
Dream opened for both Britney Spears and 'N Sync in 2001.

Original member, Melissa Schuman, who actually was the first to quit the band, apparently tried to reunite all four original members, but when that didn't work, she decided to start up a new project with Ashley Poole and Diana Oritz, also original members. The new band is known as Lady Phoenix.

Meanwhile, taking over the Dream namesake, are two teen girls named Jordan McCoy and Hunter Pecunia. They are holding auditions for new members via YouTube. To enter, send in a video of yourself singing and dancing to www.youtube.com/officialdreamtv.

Check out the video of the new Dream singing Rhianna's "Disturbia!"

Jonas Brothers Get a Virus

I admit I haven't made it through this entire song/video yet. I think that maybe if they took the "lovebug" part out of this song, it may be halfway decent.

Just For Fun!

Bokan to Fix Broken Band

2008-09-29T20:28:00.000-07:00

Blessthefall announced that it has selected a new lead singer: Beau Bokan.

Former-vocalist Craig Mabbit quit the band back in 2007; in the middle of Blessthefall's tour with Silverstein.

Bokan is a native of Los Angeles, who currently resides in Huntington Beach.

"It was not an easy task finding a singer who can sing well, rock out and, most importantly, fit in with the band and click with the four of us, drummer Matt Traynor said, according to a press release. "[Beau] is the nicest dude we have tried out and sings like a beast."

Boondock Saints Sequel?

2008-09-28T22:52:00.001-07:00

I hate to even buy into the hype at all, considering The Boondock Saints director, Troy Duffy, has announced that he is set to make the sequel of the cult famous movie over and over with no results. However, now Duffy is posting videos on his YouTube page of the supposed "pre-production" measures going on with the sequel, All Saints Day. I'm not exactly sure what to believe. I would love a sequel, but I've been lead on so many times before. The project still isn't up on IMDB.

Here is an example of one of the pre-production videos

Speaking of The Boondock Saints, one of the movie's stars, Norman Reedus, is a fan of Paula Ashlee Jewelry. Click here to read the full story.
