Justin Bieber Makes Out With Toronto Fan

Posted by Megan MacKay on January 10th, 2011

Looks like Selena Gomez isn’t the only teenybopper that can look forward to a full mailbox of death threats!

16-year-old heartthrob Justin Bieber was snapped making out with a female fan in Toronto a few months ago and the pictures are finally out. Apparently a tween watched the Biebs make out with her BFF and managed to catch the moment on her camera!

“Justin and my friend Michelle kissed behind the Four Seasons Hotel downtown a few months ago while he was in town for a concert,” the amateur photog said. “I didn’t feel right about releasing it before, but now it’s fine cuz it’s been a while.”

Ouch! Getting the cold bite of rejection from Justin Bieber is sucky enough, but to watch him make out with your best friend?! Girl’s gonna need HELLA therapy!

Sandra Bullock Celebrates By Swapping Spit With Scarlett Johansson

Posted by Sam Rashid on June 7th, 2010

According to MTV News, Bullock celebrated her MTV Generation Award with a kiss from Scarlett Johansson.

Accompanying Johansson and Bullock on stage was Betty White and Bradley Cooper.  And of course, this kiss got Bullock a standing ovation from the rowdy crowd.

“Sandy, I know I’m not alone in saying I hope you know how loved you are,” Cooper said.  “Both for your incredible talent and for being such a humble and effervescent woman.”

And Bullock deserved nothing less than to be honoured.  Just this year, she has already received a Golden Globe as well as a pair of giant hits, including “The Proposal” and “Blind Side.”

“You are grace defined and I adore you madly,” White said, who got to know Bullock during the filming of “The Proposal.”

“Our sex scenes were cut from theatrical release,” White lamented.  “But don’t worry, everyone can see them on the unrated DVD.”

Despite all of the love and chatter, Johansson preferred to just stay quiet.  Maybe she was still holding a grudge over Bullock’s full-frontal scene in “The Proposal,” shared with Ryan Reynolds – Johansson’s husband.

And to top it all off, Bullock became the first-ever female recipient of the honour.  She joins the likes of Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller and Mike Myers, just to name a few.

During her speech, Bullock said “no matter what you might have seen or heard or read lately, I love what I do.  And I’m not going anywhere.”

Security was called over and the man was escorted away and detained until police arrived on the scene.

Chris Morris of Boston was charged with open and gross lewdness and disorderly conduct. Morris was reportedly also highly intoxicated, slurring his speech while an alcoholic musk emanated from him.

Kiss Comes to Canada for Music Week

Posted by Jennifer Brooks on March 13th, 2009

Gene SimmonsKiss front man Gene Simmons is coming to Canada for Canadian Music Week and is looking for the next big Canadian super band. Simmons is looking for a group that has something better than raw talent, good looks and songwriting capabilities; he is looking for star power.

“I don’t want someone who sings well, I want someone who is charismatic beyond charisma,” said Simmons, the keynote speaker at Canadian Music Week. “A star is going to be bigger than the songs they sing.”

The entrepreneur and superstar started up his own record company last year called Simmons Records. Cbc.ca reports that Simmons is exclusively interested in tapping into the Canadian music market, as Canada harbors many undiscovered musical talents.

“There is as much musical talent here as in the States, don’t kid yourself,” he said. “And unless you provide them with the industry and the pop culture, they will move across the border. It’s not far.”

KISS To Headline Halifax Festival

Posted by Eva Lam on February 4th, 2009

Gene Simmons and co. are bound for Canada’s east coast.

KISS will headline the Halifax Rocks 2009 show in the Nova Scotia capital on July 18, the band’s first time performing in the Maritimes since the mid-’70s.

“There’s a lot that’s been written and said about the types of music that Halifax wants to see, and what we keep hearing is it wants good ol’ rock ’n’ roll,” concert promoter Harold MacKay said at a media conference Tuesday.

The event at the Commons park will also welcome four additional performers; they will be announced at a later date.

Tickets go on sale Friday at 9 a.m. via the Ticket Atlantic Box Office, select Atlantic Superstores, the Ticket Atlantic website or by phone.

KISS haven’t released a new studio album since 1998′s “Psycho Circus,” but guitarist Paul Stanley recently told Classic Rock magazine that the band may record a new album and tour European and North America in the near future.

Simmons was also in Toronto late last year scouting talent for his relaunched ’80s label, Simmons Records.

Hayden is a 10, says Rachel

Posted by andPOP Staff on February 12th, 2008

Canadian heartthrob Hayden Christensen still has a few Jedi skills. In fact, he’s a 10 out of 10, says his “Jumper” co-star Rachel Bilson.

“I’m sure all the ladies will be happy to know Hayden is a 10 when it comes to kissing,” she told Bang Showbiz.

In return, Christensen commented that, “Rachel is top notch too, we kiss well.”

Bilson and Christensen, both 26, have been spending quite a lot of time together since meeting on the “Jumper” set, but have never confirmed a relationship.

Though Bilson said she still finds sex scenes uncomfortable to film, she was glad to have Christensen as her partner. “I was lucky enough to have someone as handsome as Hayden, but it’s always a bit awkward,” she said.

“Jumper” opens Thursday.

Simmons: ‘No More Kiss Reunion Tours’

Posted by andPOP Staff on March 27th, 2007

Rocker GENE SIMMONS has ruled out ever hitting the road with the original KISS line-up again because he can no longer put up with ACE FREHLEY and PETER CRISS’ substance abuse issues.

The bass player admits he still loves his old bandmates dearly but he can no longer spend time with them on tour.

He says, “I love (Ace) dearly, he’s a sweetheart, but he’s his own worst enemy. He’s great with lots of people around but when he’s alone he doesn’t like himself. And he numbs himself. He’s been numbing himself for 34 years.

“I personally don’t want to (tour with them). I love Ace and Peter, always have, and because of my tough love thing I’ve never been shy about saying they’ve been drug addicts and alcoholics, and they’ve destroyed themselves.”

But Simmons insists he can’t completely rule out a reunion tour – especially if the price is right: “I reserve the right to change my mind about Ace and Peter any time I choose. Never say never… People say you can’t be bought… (but) even God passes the hat around at the end of the sermon.”

New Solo Record from Kiss Singer

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 19th, 2006

Paul Stanley, singer and guitarist for Kiss, has found a record label to release his first solo album in nearly 30 years. “Live to Win” will hit stores on October 24 through Universal subsidiary New Door records.

Billboard reports that the 10-track album was recorded along with drummer Victor Indrizzo, guitarist Corky James, ex-Marilyn Manson guitarist John 5, ex-Kiss guitarist Bruce Kulick, and keyboardist Harry Sommerdahl. String arrangements were put together by David Campbell.

“It’s not 1978 anymore,” Stanley said last fall, referring to the year his last solo album came out. “It’s certainly the same mentality, and certainly I’m a better singer today. My perspective and where I’m at in my life at this point, and what I’ve experienced and seen, brings something else to the table that wasn’t there then.”

A club tour is expected to be announced for this fall in support of the disc.

Here’s the complete track list for “Live to Win”:

“Live To Win”
“Lift”
“Wake Up Screaming”
“Every Time I See You Around”
“Bulletproof”
“All About You”
“Second to None”
“It’s Not Me”
“Loving You Without You Now”
“Where Angels Dare”

Kiss Fans Protest Hall of Fame Snub

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 7th, 2006

They may like to rock and roll all night, but they won’t be doing it at the Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony this year.

The Associated Press reports that Kiss fans held a protest outside of the museum in Cleveland on Saturday to protest the fact that the 70s rockers have not been inducted into the hall of fame, despite the fact that they have been eligible since the 1990s.

A band is eligible for induction into the hall of fame 25 years after their first record was released. The protest saw 200 Kiss fans outside the hall of fame, some even in trademark Kiss make up.

A spokesperson for the hall of fame told the Associated Press this is the first time that fans have protest an artist not getting into the hall of fame.
