Dave Grohl’s New Band Is Very Old and (Mostly) Very Good

February 6th, 2013 By Chris Chambers

Dave-Grohl-2Dave Grohl’s directorial debut, a documentary?about?shabby-but-renowned L.A. recording studio Sound City,?recently premiered … and in the process of making the film, Dave managed to form a?supergroup composed of a few big-named artists who recorded there, including Stevie Nicks, John Fogerty, and Rick Springfield. They call themselves the Sound City Players.

They?re old and a little grizzly … but they're awesome. There is no woman cooler than Stevie Nicks. Not a one. Rick Springfield is as corny and soap opera-pretty as he has ever been,?with hair as badly dyed as Bob Costas’ ? but he and no one else can lay claim to the only hit song ever to?include the word ?moot.? (?I wanna tell her that I love her but the point is prob?ly moot.?) John Fogerty is old as shit. And there’s also Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen looking like a complete asshole in his requisite cap and bowtie. And behind that motley crowd … plus more …?corralling them into one place, is Dave Grohl.

Crazy Courtney Love Deals with 99 Problems at Sundance

January 29th, 2013 By Chris Chambers

courtney-loveLast week, Courtney Love popped up at the Sundance Film Festival … despite not appearing in or having any apparent connection to any of the movies showing there … leading to mild panic that she might be planning to crash Dave Grohl’s big documentary debut. She was spotted lurking around Park City … specifically in the swag suites … and then it was suddenly announced that she would play a show. That night.

Courtney?is a polarizing figure to say the least. She's abrasive, obnoxious, and histrionic … and now pushing 50 years old, she’s still popping up in the tabloid news pretty regularly?for?saying, doing, or creating something rude, lewd, tacky, or inappropriate. As far as I can tell, she’s only?tolerated because she’s also the?widow of one of the biggest rock icons of the last few decades.

Kirsten Dunst Next For A Breakdown?

March 25th, 2009 By Stuart Heritage

Kirsten Dunst Breakdown behaviour SundanceYou know, this morning we suddenly thought "What if all this psychiatric treatment makes Britney Spears normal again? Will our stockpiled pithy wisecracks go to waste?"

And then we discovered that Kirsten Dunst is apparently on the verge of a giant Britney-style nervous breakdown.

It's the cosmic balance in action. Britney gets better, Kirsten Dunst goes a bit batshit. By God, Vanessa Hudgens must be praying that Kirsten Dunst never gets better.

Sundance Celebrity Sightings That Heighten Our Self-Importance Slightly

March 31st, 2009 By hecklerspray staff

Sundance Paris Hilton Alan RickmanAbout this time of year there are always a few of things you can count on.  

1) The Academy Award nominees being announced for films you haven’t bothered to see yet. 2) Growing so sick of the cold and snow that you seriously consider being a drug mule just to escape to warmer climates. 3) The Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. 

The latter of the three always brings about the exciting, albeit useless, pastime of celebrity stalking on the streets of Park City. In past years we’ve been privileged to catch glimpses of Ted Danson, Alan Cumming and quality hang-out time with Jon Heder, to name a few. And our life has been ever so enriched because of it. This year proved to be just as exciting. Keep reading to see who we saw.
