Simmons attacks 'boring' live bands
Kiss rocker Gene Simmons has hit out at bands who fail to put on energetic live shows, reports WENN.
Simmons criticised British band Radiohead, saying that they owed it to their fans to put on a spectacular performance.
He is quoted as saying: "I admire bands like Radiohead, but the idea of being that serious? F*** that, get up on stage and blow s*** up!
"Bands that stand by their microphones and strum their guitars are forgetting one important point - people are bringing their eyes, it's audio and visual. If you're not fulfilling the visual part, it's like watching a movie with your eyes closed.
"One of the biggest compliments we get is [people saying], 'I f***ing hate their music but that's the best show I ever saw in my life'."

Joe Dolan remembered in Mullingar
More than 2,000 people gathered at the Cathedral of Christ the King in Mullingar for the funeral of the singer and entertainer Joe Dolan.
Among the first to arrive at the funeral this morning were leading figures in the Irish entertainment industry, including Paddy Cole, Dickie Rock, Ronnie Drew, Brendan Grace and Oliver Barry.
The homily at the Requiem Mass was delivered by the Fr Brian Darcy.
The mourners heard how the 68-year-old singer secretly gave tens of thousands of euro to the poor during his career.
Speaking to a gathering at the Cathederal, Fr Darcy said Dolan had wanted the donations to remain private throughout his life.
Fr Darcy said that Dolan and his band were pioneers of the Celtic Tiger era because they brought joy and entertainment to a very dull nation in the 1960s.
The burial after the funeral mass was in Walshestown Cemetery.

Bruce Springsteen Pays Tribute To Late Broadcaster Tim Russert
Bruce Springsteen paid an emotional tribute to the late broadcast journalist Tim Russert during a concert in Wales at the weekend.
Russert, who presented America's acclaimed show Meet The Press, died last Friday after suffering a heart attack.
Appearing via video link at Russert's memorial service, Springsteen recalled seeing Russert's “big Irish smile” during a performance on America's Today Show.
“It was beaming like an Irish sun. We were always flattered and honoured to have Tim as part of our E Street Band community,” Springsteen said.
Springsteen then played 'Thunder Road', Russert's favourite song, in memory of the broadcaster.

J.J. Abrams to Make Movie About World’s Most Annoying Interior Designer
Photo: Getty Images
If you read that New York Times story last week about the mystery apartment on Fifth Avenue, you may have thought that the family profiled, as well as their architect, was a tragic example of people genuinely at a loss for ways to spend their money without doing anything tacky like giving it to the poor. J.J. Abrams, however, thought it sounded like a great movie. Abrams has purchased the rights to the article, by Penelope Green, which explains how a family of financial types Steven B. Klinsky (who runs his own private-equity firm) and Maureen Sherry (who apparently chose a good moment to leave Bear Stearns) hired architectural designer Eric Clough to renovate their $8.5 million Fifth Avenue apartment and Clough — without their permission — added all kinds of cranks and secret doors and hidden panels to make their house into a big whimsical puzzle for their amusement.
Unfortunately, Abrams probably won't focus the movie on the most interesting part of the story, which is that Clough probably belongs in an insane asylum. For instance, one of the delightful "clues" the family discovered — in their brand-new $8.5 million apartment! — was that a part of the parents' custom-made bed snapped off for no reason. Luckily, this particular family found the game delightful, but others probably would've suspected that they'd paid 50 times the price for particle-board furniture.
Abrams is going to have to make a few changes to the story if he expects it to actually be appealing. We'd suggest making the family poor and having them inherit the apartment (from dead long-lost uncle or something), because they'd probably be a lot more sympathetic if they didn't have a choice about living in a real-life National Treasure. Frankly, we'd like to see Abrams movie about a New York apartment with a more authentic puzzle, such as the Mystery of the Unpredictable Hot-Water Supply, or the Mouse Who Can Fit Through a One-Centimeter Hole. —Linda Holmes

Oneal Gets Candid About Drug Problems On Street Corner
A candid TATUM O'NEAL staged an impromptu press conference on the streets of New York on Wednesday (04Jun08) after she was cornered by cameramen and journalists quizzing her about her drug arrest.
The embattled actress has been charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance after cops caught her exchanging money with a dealer three blocks from her home.
But rather than run away from her problems, O'Neal chose to address the media members who followed her out of her home of Wednesday afternoon, and then stopped to chat with them as she waited on a street corner for a taxi.
The 44-year-old said, "Every day is a great day if I'm not using," before insisting, "I have peace in my life, I made a mistake... I have a very good life. I made a bad mistake and unfortunately I'm well known and this is what happens."
O'Neal also told the gathered press that she was attending a 12-step drug abuse program daily, adding "That's really helping."
The actress concluded her 10 minute street corner chat by telling the media members, "It's an everyday struggle and you try to do the best that you can and some days, unfortunately, it doesn't pan out the way you'd like it too."

Tivo Users Dont Skip Movie Ads
Commercials for new movies are the least likely to be skipped by users of TiVo digital
video recorders, according to a study by the DVR maker. The study, conducted in April,
found that the least fast-forwarded (and most-watched) ad was for Universal's comed
y film Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which aired during NBC's The Office.
(The episode itself, however, did not even make TiVo's list of the ten most-watched
shows.) The second least fast-forwarded ad was for Sony Pictures' Hancock
which aired during an episode of ABC's Grey's Anatomy. Other movies making the
top-ten list included Sony's Made of Honor (#4), Universal's Baby Mama
(#7), and Paramount/Marvel's Iron Man (#10).
