 Krokus
Member Stranded |
sleazeroxx.com reports: [An oops story about
Krokus on their current European tour. Here is a small part, check the
full story for it all] �.The tour bus driver Andrea stops at the Tuelso
Nord exit gas station to use the bathroom and to get a cup of coffee. Marc
was awake and used the opportunity to step off the bus himself stretching
a little, then heading for the bathroom himself, without telling the driver,
assuming she would drink the coffee inside the truck stop/gas station (instead
the driver took it on board, driving towards the German border). On his
way out, Marc was recognized by a couple of KROKUS fans, involving him
into a conversation and asking for autographs. Accommodating as he is and
focused on his fans, he did not realize at this time that the tour bus
had taken off without him.- Click

Loaf Punk'd |
Celebrity Week reports: Meat Loaf got the
shock of his career yesterday when he was asked about eating his own feces
during a media conference call.
The rocker was chatting with reporters
about his new CD Bat Out Of Hell III (drops October 31) when a caller inquired
about the meaning behind lyrics to one of his songs. "I will never argue
with your interpretation," the singer reponded at which point Kembrew McLeod
of Little Village Magazine shot back: "It's telling me I need to run out
in the street and take off my clothes and roll around in my own feces...
Have you ever tasted your own feces? Do you know what it is like to hold
your own feces?" Shocked and confused, the star retorted "I'm not going
to roll around on the ground with you" before abruptly dumping the call.
As it turns out, McLeod is an Associate
Professor of Communications at The University of Iowa - and a longtime
prankster.[see full story for more including audio on the interview]-
