AXL Rose bailed on a live concert in Ireland last night



AXL Rose is the most favorite singer of America. bailed on a live concert in Ireland last night — after the crowd began throwing bottles onto the stage during his performance with Guns ‘n Roses.

Multiple people reportedly hurled bottles at the band — who started their show more than 90 minutes behind schedule — so Rose halted the gig to yell at the audience.

Axl called for his band to stop playing their instruments during their first song Welcome to the Jungle and warned the crowd that he would pack up his stuff and leave if they kept throwing things.

The audience were riled because GNR started their show so late.

Rose and company eventually came back on the stage and finished the show.

Jay-Z Joined By Dr. Dre, Drake At Historic Detroit Concert

The notoriously private Jay-Z has announced he is releasing a memoir that promises to blow the lid on the most private details of his life.

The book, titled ‘Decoded’, is set to be a real treat for hardcore fans - the memoir is said to go all the way back to Jay’s childhood, going into detail about his younger years in Brookly’s Macy Projects to his years as a teen drug dealer to becoming a hip hop icon. The biography will also include up-close-and-personal interviews with family and friends, and feature first-person explanations of his most famous and provocative lyrics.

Detroit hasn't screamed this loud at a baseball park since Kirk Gibson was hitting home runs in the 1984 World Series. Hip-hop history was made as Jay-Z and Eminem co-headlined the Motor City's Comerica Park (home of the D-Town Tigers for the past decade) on Thursday night (September 2), the first of two shows on consecutive nights.

While Jay's high-grossing touring schedule helped him to top this year's Forbes' "Hip-Hop Cash King" list, Eminem took a much-needed sabbatical to deal with a myriad of personal issues. Now beyond his darkest hour, Em had one of his brightest moments ever onstage. Not only did he gift his hometown with a seemingly endless string of hits, he pulled off some major surprises. After D12, 50 Cent and the G-Unit — acts that fans likely expected — came out for performances with Em, Slim Shady pulled off a shocker. Dr. Dre came out, first stunning the people then delighting them with smashes.

After his name appeared on the Comerica big screen, the man heralded by many as the greatest producer of his time came out to the opening notes of his world-famous "Next Episode." Then the familiar first keys of "Still Dre" were played.

Em's legend was largely built off his mastery of music and a catalog made for the kind of environment he played on Thursday: stadiums. The Detroit rapper has been making sing-along anthems throughout his career. Not just tracks you rap in the shower or in the car, but big records like "Sing for the Moment," "Stan" and "Cleaning Out My Closet" — tracks practically begging for an audience of tens of thousands holding lighters up. Em proved he still has that rare connection with his fanbase. Grown men took off their shirts and got rock-n-roll rowdy when he rapped.

Jessica Alba Likes To Hit The Switches

Jess stops and smells the flowers in this floral-print dress on her trip to Italia, but is the all-over old-fashioned print with the chunky heels coming up roses for you? Write a clever caption below describing her getup and we'll post our fave here and on ourIn the movie "Machete," Danny Trejo stars as a tough-guy gun for hire. In real life, the character actor started out as an actual criminal who did hard time in San Quentin.
The cartoonishly violent romp of a movie stars Trejo as a former cop from Mexico turned vengeful vigalante out for blood. He'll go after bad cops, bad politicans, and bad drug dealers. The movie features over-the-top mayhem that includes "beheadings, skewerings and kill shots to the head by the dozen." It also features some serious star power: Robert De Niro, Steven Seagal, Don Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jessica Alba.

If you've never heard of Danny Trejo, trust us, you've seen him. The L.A.-born actor has had a prolific career -- including a stint as the star of the fake trailer for "Machete" in the campy movie "Grindhouse" four years ago. But you can catch him in many action flicks, from "Con Air" to "Predators" to "Spy Kids."
The spoof "Machete" trailer led to the full-length movie with Trejo at the lead. This would not seem the obvious path for a drug-addicted kid in and out of jail for 11 years. Sent to San Quentin for drug offenses and armed robbery, Trejo turned to boxing and a 12-step program, which began his turnaround.
And here is where the story goes Hollywood: Once on the outside, Trejo spoke at a 12-step meeting, and a young man called him for support. Trejo met him on the set of "Runaway Train." A fellow ex-convict recognized him, and offered him a gig training one of the stars, Eric Roberts. When he did so well with that, the director offered him a feature role in the movie. And Trejo was on his way.

The tattooed Mexican-American landed a role in "Desperado," and has served as a muse for director Robert Rodriguez ever since, appearing in 8 of his movies and leading him to the starring role of "Machete."

Though Trejo's star is soaring, one of his fellow "Machete" actors -- who has also had real-life troubles -- should be happy to have a bit part: Lindsay Lohan.

See a video short of Trejo returning to his childhood neighborhood in East Los Angeles as a conquering hero. The Perp: Jessica Alba in Dolce & Gabbana, at the Venice Film Festival

Both Natalie Portman and Jessica Alba are in Venice for the Film Festival where they’re promoting their latest flicks — and while they’re there, they are breaking out a slew of fancy frocks! Natalie, who’s promoting Black Swan, turned up totally ready for the red carpet in a striking Rodarte gown. The star, who’s a huge fan of the line, didn’t disappoint in the intricately draped tulle get-up.

While Jessica has had a stellar summer style-wise, her recent choices in Venice have let me down. Don’t get me wrong, her black Versace fall 2010 couture frock at the Machete premiere on Sept. 1 is dramatic, however, considering January Jones wore such a similar dress just days ago to the Emmys, Jess’ look falls flat. Don’t get me wrong, it’s definitely glam, however, I was expecting to be totally in love with what she wore and that wasn’t the case.

Natalie Portman launches vegan shoe line

Natalie Portman Garners Oscar Buzz for "Black Swan"The actress' performance in Darren Aronofsky's psychological thriller "Black Swan," which opened the Venice Film Festival on Wednesday night, has critics already discussing her chances of earning an Academy Award nomination for the role.

In Contention's Guy Lodge called the film "boldly deranged and beautifully despairing," while Peter Debruge at Variety said it was "a wicked, sexy and ultimately devastating study of a young dancer's all-consuming ambition."Portman trained for 10 months to prepare for the role of Nina, an intensely focused ballerina whose passion for dancing takes a toll on her body and her sanity.
The Hollywood Reporter's Kirk Honeycutt said the Portman "bravely ventured out of her comfort zone to play a character slowly losing sight of herself. It's a bravura performance."

"If the film is ultimately too unsettling to snag main prizes, it has at least one nomination in the bag for lead actress Natalie Portman who gives one of "those" performances, transforming herself after 10 months of training into an accomplished ballerina, almost uncomfortable to watch as she consumes her difficult role," Screen International's Mike Goodridge said. "Portman is captivating...Like Catherine Deneuve in "Repulsion" or Mia Farrow in "Rosemary's Baby," she captures the confusion of a repressed young woman thrown into a world of danger and temptation with frightening veracity.

The Telegraph's David Gritten wrote that Portman plays her character with "considerable expertise" and that the role "elevates her from a substantial leading actress to major star likely to be lifting awards in the near future."


Other performances by leading ladies that are being talked about as possible Best Actress contenders are Julianne Moore and Annette Bening ("The Kids are All Right"), Lesley Manville ("Another Year"), Tilda Swinton ("I Am Love"), Michelle Williams ("Blue Valentine"") and Naomi Watts ("Fair Game").

They'll likely have competition, according to New York magazine's Vulture blog, from upcoming roles from Anne Hathaway ("Love and Other Drugs"), Hilary Swank ("Conviction"), Carey Mulligan ("Never Let Me Go"), Helena Bonham Carter ("The King's Speech"), Nicole Kidman ("Rabbit Hole"), Robin Wright ("The Conspirator"), Reese Witherspoon ("How Do You Know") and Helen Mirren ("The Tempest").

Conan O'Brien Coming with His Show Conan


The suspense is over. Television personality Conan O'Brien announced the title of his new late night talk show on Wednesday.

Well, Conan O'Brien didn't end up going with any of the helpful suggestions put forth this morning. And apparently all those stories about the late night host not being able to use the name "Conan" because of the makers of the "Conan" movies were unfounded, as O'Brien announced today that his new show will be called simply "Conan." In a video posted to his show's official TBS site, O'Brien talked about how much the media had been wondering about the title (including one persistent Italian journalist/pizza maker) and how he had come to a simple, elegant conclusion. He also joked about the kick off date for the show (he initially said December 8, but was corrected by somebody off-camera with the actual date, which is November 8 — "Of this year?" O'Brien exclaimed) and noticed that the title he wrote on the piece of paper for the reveal sort of looked like "Conaw."


The solution to O'Brien's problem is indeed simple and elegant. He becomes the only late night host whose show is simply his name, a convention that has never really been used but is actually a brilliant idea. After all, it's unlikely that most fans ever knew the actual titles of any of O'Brien's previous shows — the question was always, "Did you catch Conan last night?" It also puts the focus squarely on O'Brien and the idea that he is a singular personality who can carry a show all by himself (though luckily he won't need to).

With that detail out of the way, we can start speculating on the rest of the show.Will O'Brien recruit a band leader — and if so, who will he tap? Which of the beloved O'Brien characters will be making a comeback? What will the format be? And how will the likes of David Letterman, Jon Stewart and (especially) Jay Leno respond to the latest ratings threat? If it means the late night scene will get back to being as interesting as it was at the beginning of 2010 (and doesn't end in
O'Brien leaving television with his hat in his hand), then the fall will be extra
interesting — and truly special.
