I interviewed comedian Don Jamieson, and we spoke of how he ditched the Emmy’s for a Murderdolls show. Said Jamieson,
“We were like, ‘We gotta get to Dingbatz.’ We didn’t want to miss Wednesday 13. We knew he went on at 11. It was like, ‘F— the Emmys!’ We didn’t even pick them up. We just said, ‘Mail ’em to us!'”

BN: One piece of advice you would like to give all our readers regarding makeup application or trends?
SK: Don’t judge a book by its cover. Color applies differently then it may look in packaging and 9 times out of 10 bright, vibrant shades will deliver a sheer, wearable application. This is especially relevant for my collection sold at Target since you can’t try on the shades.

“I was 20 years old and I got a ‘Butchered at Birth’ t-shirt from Cannibal Corpse on Hollywood Boulevard,” McGrath told Noisecreep about his formative love for metal attire. “I am a huge metal fan and always have been, but that’s not how people perceive me.”

Read my recap of Elton John week at American Idol.
The remaining 11 members of this season’s ‘American Idol‘ crew took on the expansive catalog of Elton John this week and as usual, there were mixed results. The episode was a bit sleepy, with most of the contestants performing any of John’s numerous ballads.
