  • Uffie, Gina Turner and Others at Tapas, August 20, 2007

    Uffie is ready to... what? Last night at Tapas in Newport Beach, Orange County's hipster contingent turned out in middling numbers ($15?! On a Monday?! Outrageous!) to gawk at Uffie, the sassy Ed Banger recording artist/fashionista whose best-known track is the lad-baitingly lewd “Ready to Fuck.” Unfortunately, Uff only performed two songs (including “Ready to Fuck”), and even those sounded like they could've been lip-synched. I should've felt ripped off, but the DJs on the bill broug

  • Jackson 5 To Reunite?

    Sweet Jesus Juice! The scandal-factory that is the Jackson family are rumored to be working on a reunion tour set for 2008. Basically, it will be the Jackson 5 plus Janet. And Michael? Promoter Leonard Rowe says yes...maybe. Rowe (who promoted Jackson’s Off The Wall tour in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s) stated: “We wanted to go this year, but [Michael] said it would take a lot of preparation. He didn’t say no...His brothers are ready. Janet is ready. But the motor of that car that mak

  • Even More MJ News

    I'm really tempted not to type anything about Michael Jackson because I don't want to feel like some scumbag TMZ "reporter," but his passing -- and the word of his public funeral -- is news.Rumor has it an event is planned for 10 a.m. July 7 (that's Tuesday) at the Staples Center and the adjacent Nokia Theatre. Nothing has been 100 percent confirmed, but sources say there will be video screens outside the venues for the expected mass of people who wouldn't be allowed in.Here's my advice: If you

  • UPDATE: Eat It! Michael Jackson To Get Butter Statue

    If you didn't manage to get tickets to the MJ memorial at Staples Center tomorrow, fear not: you can probably still book a flight to Des Moines for the Iowa State Fair in August, when Jackson will be immortalized in butter. For ten days, the dairy King of Pop will stand next to the fair's traditional butter cow. Sculptor Sarah Pratt chose to portray the singer's famous moonwalk pose as a nod to the 40th anniversary of the moon landings this summer. Two years after that momentous event, the

  • Slideshows: Parker Macy, Warped Tour, Ida Maria

    Keith MayAs we wrote about earlier in the day, eVocal, a least in its current form, looks not to be long for the world of westside Costa Mesa. Truly disappointing to be sure, but also a good opportunity to support the few shows the venue has left.One such show took place Saturday night, the CD release gig for local Parker Macy (pictured). Operating under his Parker Macy Blues name, the singer (pictured) celebrated his new, second album, Hope for the Revolution. Keith May was there, his pictures
