Republicans Lack Heart!Posted Sep 5th 2008 8:00AM by TMZ Staff
Ann
and Nancy Wilson are pissed at the Republican Party and have fired off
a cease and desist letter to the McCain/Palin campaign.
Specifically,
the Heart women are upset that the GOP has used their classic
"Barracuda" as a theme song for Sarah Palin. TMZ obtained a statement
from Heart's rep, who says "The Republican campaign did not ask for
permission to use the song, nor would they have been granted that
permission."
The statement goes on: "We have asked the
Republican campaign publicly not to use our music. We hope our wishes
will be honored."
We're told Ann was watching TV today and heard the song at the convention when Palin was touted.
UPDATE: Twenty minutes after we posted this story, the GOP ended the evening after McCain's speech
with the song, "Barracuda."

ABBA Drummer Found DeadPosted Mar 17th 2008 10:39AM by TMZ Staff
Swedish super-band ABBA's long-time drummer Ola Brunkert was found dead in his Mallorca, Spain home over the weekend.
Spanish
police say the gruesome death was caused by a freak accident in which
Brunkert bled to death after puncturing his throat with a broken piece
of glass. According to CNN, police believe the drummer may have fallen
against a glass partition that separated his kitchen from his garden,
causing the glass to break and fatally cut his throat.
Brunkert was not one of the four "famous" members of ABBA, but was a studio drummer who played on all their albums.
Jeff Healey dead

Jeff
Healey has passed away at age 41 after a lifelong battle with cancer.
He was first diagnosed with retinoblastoma at the age of one, which led
to his blindness. He fought with cancer through much of his life. Jeff
was one of a kind. He is probably best known for his unique playing
style, where he lays the guitar flat on his lap to play. He was a fiery
blues player. His biggest hit was the beautiful ballad Angel Eyes, and
is also well known for his appearance in the film Road House. In his
last few years, Jeff had taken a different turn musically, and had
developed a fondness for dixieland jazz. He hosted a jazz radio show,
and even started his own jazz band, Jeff Healey and the Jazz Wizards. I
heard them on XM radio, and didn't even realize it was the same Jeff
Healey. They sounded like something straight out of the 20s. As amazing
a guitar player as he was, in the Jazz Wizards, he switched to playing
trumpet. Very cool. Check out this video of them live, with Jeff
stepping outside his guitar slinger persona to play some horn.

TMZ has learned the 26-year-old long-haired wannabe's mane is actually
a wig and it's got "Idol" execs flipping out. Sources tell us Robbie
never talks about his matted down piece and that makes production
members feel like it's the blonde elephant in the room. It seems Simon
was right last night -- Robbie is a fake!

Even
though the U.S. has granted her request for a visa to the U.S., Amy has
decided it's too complicated to get herself across the pond!
Her
rep tells TMZ, "Unfortunately, due to the logistics involved and timing
complications, Amy will not be coming to the U.S. this weekend to
perform at the Grammys in Los Angeles, however, she will still be
performing via satellite broadcast from London as previously announced
this morning."
She added that Amy is "very sad not to be attending the prestigious awards in person"epartment official
told the AP.
Las
Vegas Metro Police have confirmed that 52-year-old Kevin Dubrow,
lead singer for 80's metal band Quiet Riot, was found dead in his Las
Vegas home.
One of Dubrow's neighbors found the
singer Sunday around 5:20 PM. The Clark County Coroner confirms to that they are currently examining Dubrow's body to try to determine the
cause of death.
Fellow band member Frankie Banali posted this message on his
website:
"I can't even find words to say. Please respect my privacy as I mourn
the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend, Kevin DuBrow."
Quiet
Riot was the first metal band to top the Billboard charts and are
perhaps best known for their cover of "Cum on Feel the Noize"
Lynyrd Skynrd's original drummer was arrested Monday by the St. John's
County, Fla. Sheriff's Department for failing to properly register as a
sex offender. What's your name, little girl??
The
former drummer for the rock band Lynyrd Skynrd, Thomas Delmer Pyle,
aka Artimus Pyle, 59, of Asheville, North Carolina, was booked Monday
after he came to the sheriff's office to speak with detectives about a
1993 conviction. Pyle pleaded guilty in 1993 to charges of attempted
capital sexual battery by an adult on a victim under the age of 12, and
principal to lewd and lascivious acts on a child under 16 years old. He
was sentenced to eight years probation and ordered to register as a sex
offender.
