Mickey Rourke arriving at the Jean-Paul Gaultier Fashion Show in Paris…

…at least I’m reasonably sure that’s Mickey Rourke. It’s hard to tell these days. But since this guy’s clothes are really shiny and he’s dragging a tell-tale ciggy along, I’m gonna say that it is Mickey. I think…

Lita Ford at Rocklahoma in 2008. Photo by Mark Weiss.

In a Rolling Stone interview from earlier this month, Lita Ford said that Joan Jett’s manager offered her $1000 for her “life story”.  While Jett is an active participant in The Runaways biopic, Ford says she has nothing to do with the film. Which sucks because Ford was a member of the seminal girl band until The Runaways broke up in 1979. More on the flick, due out sometime in 2010, here.

Lita’s new record, Wicked Wonderland, her first studio record in 14 years, is due out sometime this Fall.

This crime scene coffee set would go perfectly with the Shower Curtain from Hell. Or is that just overkill?

Hi. We hate you.

While it looked like Maine was on it’s way to equality, the state chapter for Stand for Marriage collected over 55 thousand signatures in the hopes that they can overturn the bill signed by Maine Governor John Baldaci in May that legalized same-sex unions in the state.
