Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inducties…Really???

Were is RUSH??? How Bout KISS? TWISTED SISTER? Someone should start up a “REAL” Rock and Roll Hall of fame…not like the fake one we have now…(chuck)

ALICE COOPER and BON JOVI are among 15 artists nominated for induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2011. Other acts who were nominated are BEASTIE BOYS, CHIC, Neil Diamond, Donovan, Dr. John, J GEILS BAND, LL Cool J, Darlene Love, Laura Nyro, Donna Summer, Joe Tex, Tom Waits and Chuck Willis.

The inductees will be announced in December, and the 26th annual induction ceremony will be held on March 14, 2011 at the Waldorf-Astoria in Manhattan.

To be eligible for nomination into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, an act must have released its first single or album at least 25 years prior to the year of nomination. This year’s nominees had to release their first single no later than 1985.

Ballots will be sent to more than 500 voters, who will select the artists to be inducted at the induction ceremony, which will be televised live on Fuse

Damn..Greg Giraldo R.I.P….This guy was funny as hell..:(

Greg had been hospitalized in New Brunswick, NJ after he overdosed on prescription pills last weekend. A source said the overdose was not a suicide attempt.

TMZ has obtained what is believed to be the last photo of Giraldo — taken at the Stress Factory comedy club in New Brunswick, NJ on Friday September 24 … the night before he OD’d.

Giraldo was best known for his celebrity roast appearances.
He had also been a judge on “Last Comic Standing.”

A source close to Greg tells us, “Greg passed away today
at the hospital in New Brunswick as a result of an accidental
overdose. His family was by his side.”

We’re told plans are being made for a public memorial service

R.I.P. Tony Curtis

You were a great actor….Loved you in “Houdni” , Operation Petticoat , the Flintstones and others… (chuck)

LAS VEGAS – The Clark County coroner says actor Tony Curtis has died.

Coroner Mike Murphy says Curtis died at 9:25 p.m. MDT Wednesday at his Las Vegas area home of a cardiac arrest.

Curtis, who had heart bypass surgery in 1994, began his acting career as a 1950s heartthrob but became a respected actor with such films as “The Defiant Ones” and “Sweet Smell of Success.

“The Defiant Ones” brought him an Oscar nomination in 1958 for his portrayal of a racist escaped convict handcuffed to a black escapee, Sidney Poitier. The following year, he co-starred in one of the most acclaimed film comedies ever, Billy Wilder’s “Some Like It Hot.”

North Carolina scientists indicate how water based ‘artificial leaf’ produces electricity

Guest Submission by Colleen J. Mcguire

 Are you aware that a North Carolina State University staff indicated that water gel-based solar devices (called: “artificial leaves”) can behave like solar cells to create electricity?
 
The analysis has been published on-line within the Journal of Materials Chemistry by Dr. Orlin Velev, an Invista Professor associated with Chemical and Bio-molecular Engineering.
 
The conclusions prove the concept for making solar cells that more closely copy nature. They also have the opportunity to be more affordable and more green than the present standard silicon based solar cells.
 
The bendable units are composed of water-based gel infused using light-sensitive molecules (like plant chlorophyll) coupled with electrodes coated by carbon materials, such as carbon nanotubes or graphite.
 
Graphene is the fundamental structural element of a number of carbon allotropes including graphite, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes. Graphene is a 1-atom thick planar sheet of carbon atoms that are largely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice. The title comes from graphite ene; graphite itself consists of many graphene sheets stacked together.
 
The light-sensitive molecules get “excited” by the sun’s rays to create electricity, similar to plant molecules that get excited to synthesize sugars in order to grow.
 
Dr. Velev says that the analysis team hopes to be able to “learn how to copy the materials where nature harnesses solar energy.” Although manufactured light-sensitive molecules can be used, Velev says naturally produced products, like chlorophyll, are also very easily integrated in these units because of their particular water-gel matrix. 
 
Velev even imagines a future where roofs could be covered with soft sheets of similar electricity-generating artificial-leaf solar cells. The concept of biologically inspired ‘soft’ devices for generating electricity may in the future present an alternative for the present-day solid-state technologies.

A very photoshopped Bret Michaels….

This is almost a cartoon image of him..Its over photoshopped….

from www.Thehollywoodgossip.com

http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2010/09/bret-michaels-in-billboard-stripping-down-opening-up/

Bret Michaels may have suffered a brain hemorrhage this spring. And he may require heart surgery in January.

But the rocker hasn’t let such physical ailments slow him down. The latest cover of Billboard makes it clear that Michaels spends a lot of time in the gym and/or in a photoshopping class:

Asked about his upcoming reality show, titled Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It, the musician told the publication:

“It’s an all-access backstage pass into my everyday life, about finding balance between my passion for my family, my relationship with [Kristi Gibson] and being on the road.”

As for the way he’s often described by the media, Bret concluded:

“Writers always use the phrase ‘aging rocker,’ and I’m like, “What other option do I have?” You’re either aging or you’re dead. So I’m embracing it.”

For a man that was eerily close to the latter, that’s the right attitude to take. Rock on, Bret!
