Good morning campers. The good news today is that KISS’ Paul Stanley has fully recovered from a bout of heart palpitations and shortness of breath and will appear as scheduled at this year’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp in New York over the Labor Day weekend.

Stanley, 55,  was forced to pull out of a recent Southern California concert, but has vowed to get back to work:

"Like many, I have had a rapid heartbeat condition most of my life and I never have had any type of restrictions. When I’ve had an episode, although momentarily disrupting and taxing, it has no residual effect. This is nothing new and my doctors have known about it. In short, it doesn’t change, hasn’t changed and won’t change my life." 

Clearly Stanley still wants to Rock ‘n’ Roll all night…and, well, you know the rest.

Kelly Clarkson Thinks She’s Wiser Than Clive Davis

Kelly Clarkson is finally opening up about her battles with her record label and the venerable Clive Davis. Apparently, she thinks that she knows more about music than the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Producer.

She probably intends to vindicate herself by sharing this story, but it only servers to cast her as arrogant and foolish. (No wonder she thinks she’d make a bad mother.)

According to the New York Post:

Clarkson insisted on recording her own songs on her third album, while Davis - mindful of needing hits - wanted her to sing tunes written by others. But in the August issue of Blender, Clarkson says she told Davis: "I don’t know you very well, and I am not a bull-[bleep]er. I get [that] you don’t like the album. You’re 80; you’re not supposed to like my album."

Kelly, your album is tanking and you had to cancel your tour because nobody was interested. Despite your belief in your own business smarts, you obviously need better handlers, or this wouldn’t have come out in your interview with Blender.

Embarrassing.

Paris Hilton Back to Partying

It had been widely reported that Paris Hilton had been seen at Les Deux in Hollywood this weekend.

TMZ has a picture of her climbing into an SUV that night.

OK! Magazine has details of the wild night on the town and it doesn’t sound like she’s curtailed her drinking and hooking up.

“Paris was dancing away on the black-leather cushions of her booth, along with her friends and Nicky,” another witness adds. “She looked really happy to be free from the confines of that tiny jail cell.” And Paris wasted no time in getting wasted, both sources tell OK!. She ordered and downed two shots of Jaegermeister within her first 10 minutes there…

"By the time Paris got ready to leave, she was pretty drunk,” the eyewitness tells OK!. "Toward the end of the night, she was sitting on the top edge of her booth, making-out with a dark-haired guy who was sporting a couple days growth of beard. While they kissed, Paris was holding up a brown fedora hat, and they were kissing behind the hat, so people couldn’t see. But still, sitting up high like that on the back of her booth, with 200 people clamoring to watch her every move, if she was trying to be coy, it didn’t work!”

Tequila shots? Sucking face with an apparent stranger?

Ahhhh…we knew the old Paris would prevail over the Saintly Paris promoted during her whirlwind, philosophy-spouting, not-so-mea-culpa, post-jail media tour.

Prince Plays Until Police Shut Him Down

This is why Prince is a legend and beloved by many. He is a real musician, a real rock star. No 14-minute wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am sets for him.

Prince thrilled his hometown fans with three shows over 12 hours, only stopping when police shut him down early Sunday.

The Minneapolis native first performed Saturday at a department store to promote his new cologne, cramming nine songs into a 45-minute set. He then played that night at the Target Center arena.

He capped the night with a return to First Avenue, the club he made famous in the movie "Purple Rain." "Minneapolis, I am home," the Purple One declared after the first song at the department store.

That’s three shows in one day; one a full concert at an arena. This is why his intimate VIP shows in LA are sold out at $1,500+ a ticket and attended by the likes of Jessica Simpson. He’s a pro, an entertainer.

Are you taking notes Britney Spears?

Hilarious Rock Ballad, Lyrics By Paris Hilton

Posted on July 6, 2007 at 11:20 am (PST)

Share/Save/Bookmark

The touching prose from Paris Hilton’s journal, which she generously shared with the world on Larry King Live, has been turned into a glorious rock ballad. The touching song is called "A Process A Gift and A Journey" and it’s a little bit like Queen, a smidge of Tenacious D, and even smacks a bit of Journey, natch.

It’s a lot like the anthem of a celebutard who bought a bunch of paper and pencil from the jail commissary to pass the time, which she wasn’t serving. The time was serving her.

Please enjoy the video here. Lighters and cell phone "lamps" optional, but arms slowly and reverently waving above your head are required.
