A MUSICAL BAND OF ZOMBIES RULE BILLBOARD'S TOP 20.

In 2008, Hollywood Undead's explosive, platinum selling debut album Swan Songs rose from the streets of Tinseltown, delivering a raw, edgy mix of rock, hip-hop and metalcore. Building an enthusiastic fan base through social media, the band—whose members wore stylized masks on stage—grew to include six members: J-Dog, Tha Producer, Charlie Scene, Johnny 3 Tears, Funny Man and Da Kurlzz.
On May 11, Interscope/UMe celebrates Swan Songs' tenth anniversary with the album's first-ever vinyl release, in a specially packaged, two-LP edition, as well as a limited edition, two-LP set on 140-gram blue-vinyl. Only 500 copies of the blue-vinyl version will be pressed and available exclusively from the online retailer uDiscover.
The 14-song album encapsulates the brash, rebellious attitude that's kept Hollywood Undead going ever since. Throughout Swan Songs, Hollywood Undead deliver sharply humorous raps that slash at the jugular of mainstream pop culture, with tracks like "No. 5," "Undead," "Sell Your Soul" and "California" reflecting a dark, transgressive aesthetic that comments on their hometown's depravity.
Despite the controversy and threats of censorship that accompanied Swan Songs' release, the album reached No. 22 on the Billboard Top 200 and spent more than a year and a half on the album chart. It also proved to be the kickoff for a long and productive career that's established Hollywood Undead as a reliably popular act, spawning the successful subsequent albums American TragedyNotes from the UndergroundDay of the Dead and Five.
Now, with this anniversary release of the album that started it all, the Hollywood Undead experience is more compelling than ever on heavy-duty vinyl!

CELEBRITY Q AND A: NICOLLETTE SHERIDIAN AND TERI HATCHER! EXCLUSIVE!!


Around Winter 2006, I was doing security work at Universal Studios, Hollywood. I was on traffic duty ,on the Wisteria Lane town set. I was positioned at the mouth of the famous cut-de-sac of houses, just above the Jaws exhibit. It was sunset, it was near lunch time (Hollywood time,) when Desperate Housewives Executive Producer- Marc Cheery (the living definition of a pig) drove up in golf cart,with fighting beauties Teri Hatcher and Nicolette Sheridan.

Hatcher was lovely in a black cocktail dress and Nicolette was a form-fitting white dress. Cherry was slovenly dressed, in a dress shirt and slacks.

Cherry looked right me and said "Look, I have to get up to Wisteria Lane for a function." There was a network thrown party on the street, to reflect the suburban atmosphere of the hit soap, in between filming.

I told him, "Sorry, they are in the middle of a take." In fact, only now did Cherry- see all the cars held back in both directions. Then, he told me he's "a busy man" and "he needed to get up the set." I told 'em "when they release the traffic, sir." Normally, this would take a minute or two. The ladies looked bored, and Nicolette started to say something snide, when Cherry shot her a glaze- that quickly silenced her.

About five minutes later, Cherry started in again on "how important I am to this network,THIS studio and could I...just go" (and ruin a take on his own show.) I told him "NO, sir" again, with quiet forcefulness. Cheery looked agitated.

Then, the best Lois Lane ever, eased toward me -with her fine bosoms- barely encased, in her lovely dress. She stated coolly, "Please, we're already late and I'd really appreciate it, if you helped us." I stare into the trusting face and boobs of Susan Meyer. I then, grab my walkie-talkie and told my boss, "I have the Producer of Desperate Housewives here..."

"Executive Producer!," said Cherry.

I restart my message for Teri, "I have the Executive Producer of Desperate Housewives (Cheery nods approvingly) and Teri Hatcher here. They need to need to get up to Wisteria Lane, for a Network party. I need permission- to release their cart, right now."

About a whole minute passed, when I hear, "OK, let em through." Teri smiles and mouths me, a near silent "Thank You." Cheery without another word, powers up the golf cart and zooms away. At the back of the cart, Sheridan and I share a glance. She has an almost look of "Save Me", with worry and doubt etched on her pretty face. The cart turns onto Wisteria Lane and quickly out of my sight.

About a month later, I just happening to be watching Desperate Housewives at home- when a strange scene started on the show. Teri Hatcher in a similar dress, tried to charm a black security guard (dress in a decent suit, instead the fake police outfit I wore) into letting her into a outdoor party.

The main differences here: the guard is quite gruff to her, which I guess is what Cheery though I was to him. When Hatcher tried to get pass the guard by touching his chest, the TV guard drops her... onto the hood of a car (breasts first)- in zip-tie hand cuffs and reports her to the police, for trespassing.

Cherry again pissed- at the celebrity Chopped Champion- for succeeding with a black man, where a corpulent, loudmouth failed. Remember, it took President Obama and Former Majority whip Nancy Pelosi, to approve Obama Care...together- in a harsh, lying world.

CELEBRITY HOMOPHOBIA: KEVIN CONNOLLY AND ADRIAN "MONK" GRENIER.

From the famous Family Arcade,in Los Angeles,CA., Near LACC. Circa 2004-5. Night.

The evil, dynamic duo is playing the then-new hit game, Ghost Squad. Our STRAIGHT man is there- to observed the celebrities- there playing the cabin mission, on the game. Accordingly to one random guy there, hasn't been this level of excitement, since the opening credits of defunct TV magazine show, X-Play had been filmed there.

Our contact is just watching them play,when E (who he doesn't even know) calls over to him and says:

Kevin Connolly: "I think you're a fag."

Nobody else in the crowd responds. Then, Vincent chase,with a smile then states:

Adrian Grenier: "I Agree."

Since no one sure who was being attacked,every one just looked confused and left. Our contact never watched Entourage again. The contact was quite pleased nothing good has happened with Grenier's career, as of late. Unfortunately, Connolly continues to work in hits,like John Q, and He's just not into you, which he never was.



 2014. Universal Studios, Hollywood. Night. Late Winter.

Our same STRAIGHT man contact, is coming back from a free belated birthday cake, from Buca De Beppo. A fine chain eatery. While riding back down the open aired bus (provided the  studio) The crowd notices a small group of white folks walking uphill,while we proceed down the treacherous road..

A girl cat calls out: "Hey! Are you Adrian Paul of Breaking BAD!?"

The shortest guy there, sheepishly rubs his neck."No.I'm E from Entourage." Our contact was drunk, so he almost doesn't notice, the people taking pictures of him and his ugly daughter,around three. He does notice: a tall, booted blond,who looks like Charize Theron. She smiles,as he notices her-from the feet up to her long legs.

The recently FAILED sit-com hack (Friends with Better Lives) gets hateful and jealousy,as he recognizes his prey from before. E waves, at some of the crowd taking picture.He locks eyes with our contact (while never moving his head for photo) and says "I know you're still a faggot", over a evil,crooked smile.

Our contact burns with anger of the untrue,comment. Luckily, Semi-Charlize leans toward his eye line,as taunted man bus passes by and said "I DON'T feel the same,"





Later.
