    Arrest Made in Alexis Cohen Death

    An arrest has been made in the hit-and-run death of Alexis Cohen, former American Idol contestant and viral video star.

    TMZ reports that 23-year-old Daniel Bark has been booked on charges of death by reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident.  If convicted, he could spend up to 15 years in the slammer.  Personally, that seems pretty light to me.

    Cohen was hit and killed by Bark’s car in Seaside Heights, New Jersey over the weekend.  Her body was found by pedestrians.  She was famous for her spastic, over-the-top rant against the judges of AI after being rejected.

    UPDATE: It looks like prosecutors are trying to upgrade the charges, adding on counts of manslaughter, death by auto and eluding police.

    Artie Lange Arrested for DUI

    Howard Stern Show alum Artie Lange was arrested today for suspicion of driving under the influence.  The troubled radio host was a part of a fender bender out in New Jersey and when cops arrived they determined Lange was under the influence of alcohol. The car crash was reportedly minor.

    TMZ reported this story about an hour ago so we don’t know if Lange has been released or not.  We also don’t know how much trouble this is going to give him.  Drunk driving in the middle of the day?  That doesn’t look too good. The man has a lot of problems, including an admitted addiction to drugs.  He’s a pretty talented comic and writer so let’s hope he can clean himself up.

    Contestants Will Get Eaten Alive For Another 2 Seasons

    Comedian Brian Regan once said “Survivor is the only show where people go to compete in a place where PEOPLE ALREADY SURVIVE.

    Survivor is signing on for it’s 19th and 20th season…and Jeff Probst will be walking with his cane and spectacles through the jungle.   That show has been on for a very long time. Good for them! Not so good for people who have to pick the next place where it will be held. I’m guessing the next place they will pick will be the bathrooms off of the New Jersey turnpike.

    A long time ago I tried out for Suvivor and they told me it was either the Rocky Mountains or the Brazilian jungle.   For my audition tape I filmed myself staying overnight on the Santa Monica pier with all of the bums. I still have the video where they sang me a song and fed me beans.   One bum said “don’t forget to bring your antibiotics”. Good solid advice!

    I’m glad I wasn’t picked because this was what happened on that episode.

    Def Leppard back in the day

    Def Leppard is hitting the road with Cheap Trick and Poison.   Starting in New Jersey on June 23 and will rock out for 40 concerts in North America.

    2005 found Leppard on tour with the likes of Styx, REO Speedwagon and Bryan Adams.

    “We’re going out with three bands, which limits the amount of time we can play to about 90 minutes,” Joe Elliott told Billboard.com. “When you do your greatest hits and some new material or extra stuff you might throw in, you have got to push and shove and clamp down. No big long speeches from moi. You have to do the AC/DC thing and just bang through everything.”

    On the question of ticket sale in a tough market, Elliott said, “We’ve taken the path of least resistance, we’ve put a bill together that we think is attractive,” “We saw the light in 2005 when we went out with Bryan Adams. Once we co-headlined with him, people were hearing three hours of music and they knew every song.”
