Honoring His Mom - Lenny Kravitz
When Lenny's contract ended in 2000, the record company he was signed to from 1989 - 1999 put out a greatest hits album. That CD went to #2 on the charts despite all the deluge and crap that was out there at the time. He even had another #2 hit single from that CD as well. He was now free to shop around for another label to sign to, or even start his own. He went the latter way, his recent CDs are under his own label - 'Roxey Records' which he named after his recently deceased mother Roxie Roker Kravitz, an actress who starred in the TV show 'The Jeffersons'.

She was born as Valerie Anne Poxleitner and at age 18 she legally changed her name to 'Lights'.

Most hated band in the entire world - Limp Bizkit
Limp Bizkit really owned the world in 1999-2000, even though they were hated by everyone. The band started having differences with other bands and became enemies with Slipknot, Nine Inch Nails and Taproot. At first they were friends with white rapper Eminem, but they also became an object of his hate. In Chicago, the DJ Manlow hosted a radio show about Limp Bizkit's front man Fred Durst and how much he hated him. When Limp Bizkit played with Metallica on the Summer Sanitarium Tour, in Chicago, the people even threw shoes at them, hitting Fred Durst and causing the band to leave. Wes Borland, Limp Bizkit's ex-guitar, left the band due to serious differences with Fred Durst.

Getting Banned in Vegas - Linda Ronstadt
Clean-cut Linda Ronstadt would seem to be the last person to get ousted from Sin City, but indeed she was. The grounds: during one of her shows, she dedicated a performance of her hit song, "Desperado" (originally by the Eagles), to radical leftist author and documentarian Michael Moore. While this gesture, considering the lyrics of the song, was probably tongue-in-cheek, the conservative local business-owners didn't find it funny, so they banned her.

Being a Klutz - Lindsay Lohan
In the past three years Lindsay Lohan has fallen 7 times and has been caught by Photogs in at least 4 of those incidents. She also kept knocking things over on the set of "Liz and Dick". Since two of the falls occurred at party sites, she may have had one too many to drink, but what about all the other times? In addition, she has fallen out of her dress many times which she claims are just "wardrobe malfunctions"... rather than personal dysfunction!

"Bible Elbow" Joke - Lindsay Lohan
David Letterman's joke about Lindsay Lohan's repeated court appearances has caused the star both embarassment and a rumored nervous break-down. Letterman's joke: "Lindsay Lohan was in court today. She's been sworn-in so many times she has Bible elbow!" Lohan had been arrested for violating her probation, lying to police about a car crash, and obstruction which led to yet another court appearance and a possible return to jail. About the joke...

Charlie Sheen thinks Lindsay Lohan is " a very good and decent young lady that is just going through a lot." He advises her to "lead with humor," so folks won't always see it if a situation is getting to her. Sheen and Lohan worked together on "Scary Movie 5," and when he learned she was having money problems, he decided to "pay it forward" by giving her $100,000. Lohan has not even bothered to say "Thank You" yet! Still, Sheen wishes her the best and asks that people "just give her a little more time... to get her act together."

Aside from his incredible range, which catapulted this tenor into operatic super-stardom in the first place, Pavarotti is probably best remembered for his bulging belly, which became increasingly noticeable by the '90s. His inability to lose weight became the butt of numerous jokes, including self-mocking ones. In reality though, his obesity limited his mobility around stages and lead to health complications.
