For years I’ve been compiling Fourth of July mixtapes and playlists. Sometimes I keep them thematic, and sometimes it’s just about choosing tracks that will keep the backyard barbeque rockin’.
“Good” by Better Than Ezra
Depending on how you listen to this classic ‘90s modern rock ditty, you could either take it as joyous song of freedom, or a sad breakup tune. Either way, Better Than Ezra’s Kevin Griffin points out that the only time he’ll possibly call or write his ex is on—you got it—the Fourth of July.
It’s that time of year again! When wehonor thy father by running out tothe nearest department storeto getthe big guya tie thathe’ll accept with a smile and probably never, everwear. I kid, I kid! In all seriousness, this Sunday marks yet another Fathers’ Day, and it goes without saying that the job is a tough one that deserves recognition. Dirty diapers, puberty meltdowns, giving proper advice… the list of fatherlyduties is literally never-ending. And that, my friends, is exactly why we have to hand it to the gentlemenwho’ve made it onour Top 20 Daddy Tally list.
Not only are these distinguished men highly successful in the ultra-competitive music industry, but they’ve managed to achieve their success while also fatheringHUGE tribes of children. That’s right, each papa bear on our Top 20 list has upwards of five children, and whether it’s serial philanderer Bob Marley, sperm donor extraordinaire David Crosby (hey Melissa Etheridge!) or rumored father of 75 bouncing babies (!!!), Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, they all have more than “earned” their spot.
Flavor Flav was pulled over for a “routine traffic violation” on Friday night in Las Vegas, but arrested when he was found to have warrants for four outstanding traffic violations. He took to Twitter to protest that his initial “violation” was actually just the curiosity of a “Rookie Ass Cop” and that the violations have been settled.
More troublingly, Rick Springfield was pulled over last night in Los Angeles and arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, just hours after appearing at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books to promote his memoir Late, Late at Night. TMZ also obtained his mug shot. Springfield has not yet commented on the matter.
In what is surely the greatest combination of flavors since you got YOUR chocolate in MY peanut butter, two of your favorite Celebreality superstars just made some sweet music together. Literally.
TMZ reports that Flavor of Love star Flavor Flav joined Rock of Love star Bret Michaels on-stage in Dubuque, Iowa (of all the places!), for a killer version of Public Enemy’s 1990 Top 40 smash, “911 Is A Joke.” As you’ll see from the (admittedly crappy*) video above, Flav started the jawn off a capella style, but then Bret and his band joined in with some ferocious instrumental backing, at which point everyone in the audience got up and then got, got down.
What do you guys think? Should Flav and Bret go out on tour together? Or should they stick to romancin’ the ladies?
Flavor Flav is busy trying to break into the profitable world of autotune balladry, but whatever happened to his Strange Love paramour Brigitte Nielsen? Clean and sober following her time on Celebrity Rehab, Nielsen has been enjoying the fruits of reality TV in continental Europe.Read the full story at TheFABlife.
Yesterday, Flavor Flavand Estellerehearsed their tribute honoring the late, great Isaac Hayes. After their performance, Flav approached the “American Boy” singer to introduce himself.
Flav, obviously, was taken with Estelle…
Then made her pose for a picture…
Which the lovely singer obviously obliged. I think we can call off Flavor of Love 4.

In honor of the debut of VH1′s new show I Love Money (premiering Sunday, July 6 at 9PM!), we’ve headed down memory lane to visit with our five favorite sexy ladies from Flav’s world – Deelishis, Myammee, Luscious D, Buckeey, and Black. It’s a long weekend – so sit back, relax and remember some of your favorite Flav ladies.
Myammee‘s interview in King has finally emerged, and the kicked-off cutie lashes out at the man who dumped her because “he was scared for his little life.” Zing! It’s short and sweet, and we’ve got highlights below.
On being kicked off the show: “Flav kicked me off over some bull. He was scared of the dude who called up saying I owe him a stack and [that] he’s gonna blow up the house. It wasn’t because [Flav] wasn’t feeling me; he was scared for his little life and everybody else’s.”
On the money drama from the show and how she earns her dough: “I don’t owe nobody nothing… A thousand dollars is nothing. I make that in two days working at Hooters. I’m probably making more money at Hooters than the strippers—not the big booty ones.”
For more of Myammee mouthing off, check out her chat with KingHERE.
