100 MONKEYS VS. HARD ROCK CAFE LAS VEGAS


Okay, so I don't want anyone to think that I'm posting this strictly to talk about Jackson. I'm posting this because I am incredibly appalled at what happened and I think everyone should know about it. If you are a fan of 100 Monkeys, or just Jackson Rathbone himself because of Twilight, please read to find out about the incredibly disgusting treatment by the Hard Rock Cafe on the Las Vegas strip.

Disclaimer: I did NOT attend this concert. However, I have numerous friends who DID attend, so what information I have is on good authority from those people in addition to the comments posted on the HRC Facebook page.

100 Monkeys were supposed to take the stage at 11:30 pm and end around 1:30 pm. The sound equipment at the HRC was obviously on the fritz and caused the opening act, Imagine Dragons, to spend more than 30 minutes on stage trying to get the sound right and hear themselves in the monitors. By the time they were done adjusting everything, it was past the time 100 Monkeys was supposed to take the stage. They never got the front monitors working, but started their set anyway because it was getting so late. After each song, the lead singer for Imagine Dragons asked if he could get more sound in the monitors because he couldn't hear himself, which is incredibly important for a musician's performance. According to my sources, they were great.

100 Monkeys got onstage to tune up their instruments immediately after Imagine Dragons finished their set, but didn't get to start their show until roughly 12:30 am. During their entire set, the members were asking for more vocals, less drums, more vocals, less bass, more vocals, more vocals (you get the hint).

Everything was apparently okay until the improv song, Lipstick on my Collar. Jackson had been asking the entire song for more vocals, but adjustments were either not made or the equipment was in that bad of shape. About halfway through the song, either through frustration or getting into the performance, Jackson broke the microphone stand. Now, from what witnesses told me, he absolutely did NOT break the mic stand on purpose and was completely shocked when it broke. (I can say first hand that something similar happened at the Bakersfield show and he seemed incredibly upset when it broke, but that mic stand was being held together with tape.) He then continued singing while holding the mic stand until he got irritated and threw it aside. Shortly after the improv song, at approximately 1:45 am, the guys said they were taking a 10 minute break before coming back out for their encore.

Before 100 Monkeys came back on stage, two guys from HRC came onto the stage and started breaking down everything. These guys announced that the band would not be coming back out for their encore. At this point, many people had left, but a few did stay. The ones who stayed got to see one of the HRC guys knock over Jackson's beer as he was unplugging a cord. Normally, this wouldn't be a bad thing, but the beer was sitting right next to the control board for the guitar pedals, which got completely soaked, ruining the control board.

Someone in the now-thin crowd asked the guys on stage why 100 Monkeys would not be coming back out. The HRC guys said, "Because the band is being a bunch of a--holes." A few minutes after this statement, the band came back on stage and Jackson said they weren't allowed to come back out, even though they had another 30 minutes of songs planned. He apologized to the fans and thanked them all for coming to the show. Jackson did later tell some of the fans that HRC had been giving them a hard time from the moment they arrived and asked that everyone go online to tell the HRC exactly what they thought about the treatment they received. The guys didn't see the when the beer was spilled on the control panel. When they found out and discovered the damage, they approached the guy who did it, but it is unclear if a resolution was reached.

Apparently, HRC was mad because Jackson broke the mic stand, 100 Monkeys did not end on time (they couldn't because Imagine Dragons started late, which was HRC's fault due to bad equipment), and because the DJ that was supposed to go on after the show couldn't because of the time. HRC then banned 100 Monkeys from ever playing there again and demanded that they pay for damages to the mic stand and from the DJ not being able to play. I don't know if this means from all HRCs or just the one in Las Vegas, but if I were them, I wouldn't even want to go back there.

I have been a long-time patron of HRC and visit one whenever I'm traveling. No more. I refuse to give that corporation another dime of my money until they issue 100 Monkeys a formal apology. It was not the fault of either band that the equipment was not working, causing the show to run late, that fault lies with HRC alone. Yes, Jackson broke the mic stand, but it was clearly an accident. I could see them asking for money for the mic stand, but to force them to cut their show short and then ban them from the establishment...all after ruining a piece of the band's equipment...is about the most unclassy thing I can imagine.

If you are as upset about this as I am, please go to the HRC Facebook page or email the HRC manager at peter_lin@hardrock.com. No one should be treated this way and it is hard to believe that a theme restaurant/casino/hotel that is supposed to be based on music would do such a thing.

I'm so mad. I'm just going to work on my book for the rest of the night so as not to go on a complete tirade.

ECLIPSE FIRST CUT NOW READY


David Slade recently tweeted some big news: "Big day, screening first director's cut to the studio, phase 1. This will be the first time anyone out of editorial has seen the cut." Though this cut is probably far from what will be released in theaters this June, it could mean that TwiHards will FINALLY get a trailer which we have been so anxiously awaiting.

RPATTZ LATEST ROLE: COMIC BOOK CHARACTER


I think that it's fair to say that fans of Robert Pattinson will buy pretty much anything that features his now-famous hot mug. In May, RPattz fans will be treated to the second installment of Fame by Bluewater Productions which will feature Mr. Pattinson himself, according to E! News. Fame is a comic book series and this 32-page addition will discuss Rob's music, modeling, and his now infamous roles in Harry Potter and Twilight.

Says Bluewater President, Darren G. Davis, "It's our hope that even the most devoted fans will discover a fact or two that takes them completely by surprise."

This looks pretty interesting and I can't wait until May to check it out!

I WISH I WAS A MONKEY




See that picture? Notice that brunette in the picture? Do you know who she is? If you do, let me know so I can kill her.

Nah, I'm kidding. That's me. Yes, that's me with the love of my life, Jackson Rathbone.

This picture was taken after the 100 Monkeys show last Tuesday in Bakersfield, California at The Dome. I'm sure that you're wondering what in the world happened to his eye. I asked Jerad Anderson that very same question prior to the start of the show, but I couldn't quite hear him. All I got from him was the flapping of elbows that looked suspiciously like the Funky Chicken, though I was fairly certain that a goofy dance didn't cause a shiner THAT impressive. You may think I could have asked him about his eye while we were taking this picture, but no. The alcohol had been freely flowing and Jackson's coordination (as well as his speech) was highly impaired. I'm partially to blame for that (more later). However, I since have heard that while in San Francisco, a guy tried to steal Jackson's guitar. Jackson chased down the guy and a scuffle ensued. He did manage to retrieve his guitar, but got the black eye as a souvenir. Ah, the sacrifices people make for fame.

The show at The Dome was really good. The venue was very small, the stage was fairly low, and there was only a crowd of 30-40 people, so it was a very intimate experience. They sang "Wings on Fire", "Reaper", "Keep Awake", "Ugly Girl","The Monkey Song", and a new song called "Prayer", among others. It was a shorter set than most, but still entertaining. The improv song was called "Mustache", which was a reference to the beautiful and expertly groomed magnificence upon Ben Johnson's face. During the "Thank You" song where Jackson introduces the band, he said to thank someone and they just may buy you a drink. I found this to be the perfect opportunity to hand him the double Jameson I bought for him prior to the start of the show. He downed it in one gulp. They took a 10 minute break before they came back on stage to finish up. I took this opportunity to buy Jackson another double Jameson, which I gave to him as they were closing out. Before they walked off stage, Jackson gave me the sweat-stained hat that Ben Graupner had been wearing that night (you can see the hat in the picture if you look below Jackson's elbow). Jackson then walked back on stage for a moment to down the second double Jameson. Looking back, I probably shouldn't have bought that second drink.

The show at The Viper Room was a bigger venue and there were more people. Even though it was an older age group than the Bakersfield show (Bakersfield was all ages and LA was 21 and over), the concert goers were screaming like they were at a Jonas Brothers concert. The set list for this show was much longer. It included the songs I listed above as well as others such as ".38 Special", "Looker", and "Junkie". The improv song was called "Meatballs". It was quite hilarious and a little raunchy. In fact, Jackson felt the need to apologize to his mother before starting the song. I was smart enough not to buy any Jameson, but I still did manage to get a gift. The way Jackson did it was really cute. The curtains had closed and he stuck his head through them to blow me a kiss. About 30 seconds later, he stuck his hand through the curtains to give me the coveted set list (pictured above).

100 Monkeys played two shows yesterday at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. They are taking a break until February 5th when they will perform at Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach, California. Of course, it is always possible that they'll add shows at the last minute, so that's why Monkey Junkies should stayed tuned to the 100 Monkeys website to check for new dates and venues. You can also download a free copy of "Keep Awake" while you're there. So far, it looks like I'll be going to the show in Palmdale, but don't worry, I will NOT be buying any more Jameson.

STEPHENIE MEYER SUGESTS ANOTHER TWILIGHT BOOK?


Stephenie Meyer has told Entertainment Weekly that there could be more of The Twilight Saga!

"I’m not working on anything new Twilight-related now, and probably not for a while. But there’s still a possibility that I’ll go back and close some of the open doors"


Could this mean a fifth book? Or perhaps the finishing of Midnight Sun? Well whatever it is Im sure it will be great!

What do you think the fifth book would be about? Personally I say something along the lines of Renesmee and Jacob?

New! "Remember Me" Wallpaper

CONFIRMED: Details of “Remember Me” premiere with Robert Pattinson

From Gos­sip Cop:


There has been a lot of Inter­net spec­u­la­tion about the pre­miere of “Remem­ber Me,” star­ring Robert Pat­tin­son, Emi­lie de Ravin, and Pierce Bros­nan.

The film, which revolves around two peo­ple who fall in love as they cope with tragedy, was shot last sum­mer in New York.

And that’s pre­cisely where the pre­miere will be, says a source.

Gos­sip Cop is told that, as of now, the stars will walk the red car­pet in New York on March 1.

“Remem­ber Me” opens nation­wide on March 12.

Gen­er­ally, pre­mieres are closer to the film’s release date, but because Pat­tin­son is work­ing on “Bel Ami” in Europe and can’t go back and forth, “Remem­ber Me” will have it’s big red car­pet at the same time he’s doing its press jun­ket in the Big Apple.

'Twilight' Stars Continue To Help Haiti: Vampire Baseball Game Organized For March 20

Is there a thunderstorm coming on March 20th? It is if Doctor Cullen and The Wolf pack are playing Baseball. You know it's America's favorite pass time. The TwiGuys are getting together to help Haiti by playing Vampire Baseball in New Orleans.

Hollywood Crush writes..

"Not only are they beautiful, intelligent and super speedy, but as it turns out, vampires are also quite a giving bunch. In the wake of Haiti's catastrophic 7.0-magnitude earthquake earlier this month, "Twilight" stars have come out in full force to aid the cause. Robert Pattinson (beard, and all) made a plea for contributions during MTV's "Hope for Haiti Now" telethon, while costars Taylor Lautner and Anna Kendrick answered phones. Tinsel Korey took to MTV.com to voice her support for the telethon and Kellan Lutz was spotted donating a basket-full of clothes to a donation center. Now, fans can bolster their efforts simply by going out to a ball game.



"Twilight" stars Peter Facinelli, Chaske Spencer, Alex Meraz and Tyson Houseman are teaming up for a special round of Cajun-Style Vampire Baseball in New Orleans on March 20 to aid relief efforts in Haiti. The cast will pitch against a slew of Big Easy celebrities including New Orleans Saints players Kyle Eckel and Lynell Hamilton, in addition to vamp movie veteran Wayne Douglas Morgan, who starred in "The Vampire's Assistant."





Tickets for the game start at $25 (there's a hot tub option for $55!) with proceeds going to the American Red Cross and Hope for Haiti Now, among others. Another kind of bloodsucker—a phlebotomist—will also be on hand for a blood drive. A meet-and-greet with the stars and a party/

concert will follow the game.



Visit the event's official site for ticket information and more details."

Robert Pattinson And Kristen Stewart Kiss Voted One Of Decade's Best Kisses



Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's kiss in Twilight has been voted one of the best kisses of the last decade.

The tender moment, which occurred in the first film in the vampire saga, came fourth in the survey.

Madonna and Britney Spears' infamous lesbian kiss at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2003 topped the poll conducted by department store Selfridges.

A source described the kiss as “one of the most memorable moments ever”.

"Madonna performing with both Britney and Christina was a big enough event in itself, but nobody - even the MTV people - expected what happened,” they added.

Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst were second for their romantic embrace in Spider-Man, while Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal's kiss in Brokeback Mountain came fourth.

The top-five was completed by Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz for their kiss in Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

The survey was conducted by Selfridges ahead of the opening of its kissing booth at its flagship store in London next month.

Taylor Lautner And Chace Crawford Ready To Score At Super Bowl Celebrity Football Game


From Hollywood Crush

By Cara Alwill


What could be better than looking at "Twilight" star Taylor Lautner with his shirt off? How about watching him run around and get all sweaty? Oh yes, we’re totally serious.

Taylor has signed on to play in the fourth annual DirecTV Celebrity Beach Bowl, a flag-football game that serves as part of the weekend festivities surrounding the Super Bowl. According to the Direct TV, the game will feature former NFL pros Troy Aikman and Warren Moon serving as quarterbacks of the two teams.

Last year’s event was a huge success, as tens of thousands of fans gathered to watch Blake Lively, Penn Badgley and Maria Menounos take part in the game. So, who else is joining Taylor on the field this year? Chace Crawford, Jessica Szohr, Victoria's Secret model Marisa Miller, Christian Slater, celebrity foodie Guy Fieri and "Entourage" star Kevin Dillon will all team up for the event. The All American Rejects will perform live right after the game, and quarterback Eli Manning will oversee the festivities.

Taylor is no stranger to football. The 17-year-old was spotted this past weekend at the Colts game in Indianapolis alongside actor Rob Lowe. Ladies take note: there’s a good chance he’ll be sticking around town for the Superbowl, which will take place the day after his flag football debut on February 6.

Kristen Stewart On 'Runaways' Nerves: 'I Was Intimidated By The Singing Part'

From Hollywood Crush:

We average American audiences still have another two months to wait until "The Runaways" hits theaters, but those lucky enough to have attended Sundance this past week already had their first look during the film's premiere. Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning chatted with MTV about how they felt going into the film.




"I'm so glad that we can let other people know [about the story]. I had never even heard of the story, and a lot of young people hadn't," Kristen said about how she was happy she joined the film.

As for whether they found any aspect of the film particularly daunting, Dakota seemed to have taken it all in stride. "I wasn't dreading anything, actually. I was just really excited to actually do it. It's one of those things, like, you don't know how it's going to feel until you're actually there. And for me, 'Cherry Bomb' was really what kind of summed the experience up for me," Dakota said.

Kristen had a different take on her approach to the film, saying Dakota's "got it" while she needs to keep herself nervous about the project.

"I need to be thinking that this is the hardest job that I'll ever have to do, because I need to make myself nervous a little bit," she said. "And I was intimidated by the singing part, even though it's not as much as what [Dakota] has to do. Joan has such a distinct sound, and I didn't want to sound stupid. I didn't want to sound like I didn't sound anything like her."

Apparently by the time they finished shooting Kristen felt she'd done a good enough job considering the fact she and Dakota joined Joan on stage (though they didn't sing) at a Sundance party.

Peter Facinelli Talks about Eclipse and Nurse Jackie....


It's been a busy year for 'The Twilight Saga' star Peter Facinelli who has been juggling his schedule between shooting 'Eclipse,' the next film in the vampire franchise, with his role as Dr. Fitch Cooper on "Nurse Jackie." ET caught up with the jet-lagged actor to talk about both projects and his addiction to Twitter.


ET: You have a huge following on Twitter. What made you start?

Peter Facinelli: I just enjoy what Twitter is because I can really connect with the fans. It is a great way to share information with them and it is a good way to entertain. I like being able to put a smile on people's faces and mix that up with sharing information with them. That's important. Also, letting them know what I am doing. I have had people come to me and say, "Will you tweet this out?" There is like paid advertisement stuff. I am not into that. I want to keep my Twitter pure. I don't want to sell my followers anything, I want to be able to have that base, so I can tell them what I am doing and entertain them


ET: What will we learn about Dr. Carlisle Cullen in'Eclipse'?


Peter Facinelli: You get to see a side of Carlisle you haven't seen before. There are some great battle sequences.


ET: Any word on 'Breaking Dawn'?

Peter Facinelli: I don't know. Usually, the fans know before we do.


ET: Did you ever think that 'Twilight' was going to do so much for your career?


Peter Facinelli: The fan base has been so phenomenal. When you go to an event, people have flown in from other countries just to take a picture with you. That is a loyal fan base that you can't even imagine having. I am thankful for all of them. That is why I try to give back in connecting with them [on Twitter].


ET: You were filming both projects at the same time. How did you juggle?


Peter Facinelli: I have had a very crazy schedule. There was a whole month where I was shooting 'Eclipse' and "Nurse Jackie" at the same time. And I actually enjoyed it because I enjoy what I do, so when I show up for work, it's very invigorating, and I get energized by it. So there were times where I'd get off an airplane from a red-eye and have, like, three hours sleep and then go straight to work.


ET: Dr. Fitch Cooper is a different type of doctor than Carlisle. Was that part of the attraction of the role?

Peter Facinelli: It was actually really fun for me to do such contrasting roles because Carlisle is such a calming force; he's a rock, and he's a foundation of this family. And Coop is none of that. He runs around like he's had four cans of Red Bull. So to be able to do those two contrasting roles where, in one character, I'm very still and the other one, he's very energized, was a lot of fun for me.


ET: Did you wear a wig to go back and forth?

Peter Facinelli: Because I was doing both projects at the same time, I wore a wig. There were days when I was literally running hours in the forest; then, I would jump on a plane and be on the "Nurse Jackie" set. I was going from Vancouver to New York like every three days.


ET: Is it hard to switch gears?

Peter Facinelli: For me it was invigorating. In the first two episodes of "Nurse Jackie" [for the new season] where I was crying, it came out of me just being emotionally exhausted. It wasn't written that I was crying. All of a sudden in the middle of the scene, I broke down and started crying. It felt right for the scene. I did takes in which I wasn't crying. Because I had just been dumped by Jackie and there was all this heavy emotion going on, it worked for the scene. I think it was me just getting off an airplane, having three hours sleep and just being that vulnerable that it hit me that hard.


ET: How dangerous is Dr. Cooper? Is he a better doctor than we think he is? Is he a worse doctor than we think he is? Should we be scared to have doctors like him?

Peter Facinelli: The interesting thing to me is you go to hospitals or you go see your doctor, and what you see is the white coat. And so you want to believe that they have all the answers, and you want to believe that they have more knowledge, but you don't know what they're doing in the back room. You don't know what their personalities are without that white coat. It was interesting because when I did 'Twilight,' I went and met with a doctor, and I hung out with him at the hospital. And his demeanor at the hospital was completely different than when we went and had dinner together. And so I think when Coop is with patients, he puts on a very doctorly -- there's a very doctorly side of him, and people have confidence in him. Is he a good doctor? I say it depends on what day of the week it is. He could, you know, cure you of some crazy disease that no other doctor could, or he might kill you with an ear infection. You just never know what you're going to get with him. That's part of the fun in playing him. But I think he tries. And I think he's an interesting character because he also doesn't have the confidence, so he tries to put on a persona to cover that up and tries to be overconfident at times. And Jackie (Edie Falco) just sees right through him.


ET: What kind of doctor is Carlisle?

Peter Facinelli: Carlisle is the head of the hospital. He is great because he has been around so long, he is very educated. He has a real love for humanity. People always ask me what kind of research I did to play a vampire. I said I did very little because I play a vampire who is trying to be human, who loved humanity so much that he wanted to hold on to that. When you look at something like 'Twilight,' the good vampires are not necessarily good; they're eccentric. The bad vampires are just doing what they're born to do. So for me, Carlisle is just holding on to his humanity; he doesn't want to be a vampire.
