Kiss Star Gene Simmons Slams 'Boring' Radiohead

Kiss star Gene Simmons has slammed bands including Radiohead, who he believes put on boring live shows.

Simmons said that bands have a responsibility to provide a spectacle for their fans and shouldn't just stand static with a guitar.

"I admire bands like Radiohead, but the idea of being that serious?

Fuck that, get up on stage and blow shit up,” Simmons said.

Simmons went on to compare live performances to films, saying that they require audio and visual elements.

“If you're not fulfilling the visual part it's like watching a movie with your eyes closed,” he said.

"One of the biggest compliments we get is (when people say), 'I f**king hate their music but that's the best show I ever saw in my life.'"

Radiohead were criticised by music fans earlier this week who called the opening nights of their European tour “terrible”.

Ex Jackson praises K-Fed's parenting skills

Kevin Federline's former partner Shar Jackson, who has two children with him, has praised the rapper's parenting skills.
Federline is currently the primary legal guardian of his two young sons with singer Britney Spears, who has had all her visitation rights stripped by the courts.
According to People magazine, Jackson said of Federline: "You know, he can't worry about what's going on outside his household."
"That's the only way you can stay sane and stay focused. You just can't worry about the stuff that's going on outside your house. You have to just protect everybody inside your home and stay focused on that."

Pretenders - Hynde Discovers The Secret To Growing Old

THE PRETENDERS frontwoman CHRISSIE HYNDE has discovered the secret to growing old gracefully - washing every day and not dying her hair.

The singer, 56, insists her good health has meant she has only been forced to cancel two shows in her 30-year career - with both gigs pulled for good reason.

She says, "I'm just trudging along, you know. I wash every day, I've got my own teeth, and I don't dye my hair.

"I must be doing something right, as I've only canceled two shows in 30 years: once when the doctor said I would have a miscarriage, and once when he told me my eardrums would explode if I did the gig."
