Jimi Hendrix: Celebs Rumors

Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin as some of her reference points for her characterisation of the title character in Amazon Prime Video’s Daisy Jones And The Six. Keough explained that she looked at men for inspiration for Daisy Jones as she felt like the show’s protagonist was “ahead of her time” for a frontwoman in a band in the 1970s.“I was like, ‘I’m not going to exclusively look at women; I want to look at Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix’. I pulled influence from men because I felt like Daisy was ahead of her time, in terms of how open and how willing she was to go into a space and be confident.

At one point in the show, Corgan was asked about how happy he feels now as an adult, after experiencing an abusive childhood.Speaking candidly, the singer-songwriter said (per Loudwire): “I don’t know if you can be happy in the music business because the music business is sort of designed to mess with your head.

Elizabeth Wagmeister Senior Correspondent This week’s season finale of “The Bachelorette” saw a happy ending for leading lady, Gabby Windey, who received a proposal from her final suitor, Erich Schwer. But despite the couple’s engagement, their road to find love on reality TV was not without controversy — and not just the on-screen drama you expect from a dating show, but the real trouble that comes with being thrust into the public spotlight. Towards the end of the season, an old photo from Schwer’s high school yearbook surfaced online, showing the then-teenager wearing blackface as part of a high school Halloween costume in which he dressed up as Jimi Hendrix with dark makeup and an afro wig.

Eagle-eyed viewers of yesterdays procession of the late Queen's coffin as it was transported from Holyroodhouse to St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh may have noticed that it required eight pallbearers, rather than the usual six. Now it's been revealed that the reason for that is because the late monarch's coffin is lead-lined, making it so heavy that it requires extra strength to carry it.

Erich Schwer has issued an apology. After an old photo of Gabby Windey's final suitor in Blackface resurfaced, the 29-year-old real estate analyst took to Instagram to address the controversy.«I wholeheartedly apologize for the insensitive photo of me in Blackface from my high school yearbook that has been circulating,» Erich wrote alongside a black square on Instagram.

blackface as well as an afro wig surfaced — drawing questions and criticism.Schwer apologized Thursday on Instagram, acknowledging the “insensitive” photo and “offensive and damaging” behavior. “I wholeheartedly apologize for the insensitive photo of me in Blackface from my high school yearbook that has been circulating,” he wrote.”What I thought at the time was a representation of my love for Jimi Hendrix, was nothing but ignorance.”Reps for “The Bachelorette” did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.“I was naïve to the hurtful implications of my actions to the Black community and those closest to me, and will forever regret my offensive and damaging behavior,” he continued. “I am deeply ashamed by my actions and understand that my apology is only the first step in taking accountability.”The apology received mixed responses from fans, some supporting the way Schwer acknowledged the incident and apologized, taking accountability.

One of the men on the current season of “The Bachelorette” is apologizing after a photo emerged from his high school days in which he’s depicted in Blackface.

Perhaps its time for Executive Producer Mike Fleiss to employ a full-time forensic anthropologist.

Rolling Stone earlier this week, Dolenz filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request on June 14, asking for any documents about the Monkees, but other than an automated statement of receipt, he didn’t receive a response from the FBI within the 20-business day waiting period as required by law. Turns out that The Monkees were in fact the subject of at least two FBI reports as listed on the bureau’s website, including one from 1967 pertaining to anti-Vietnam War activities and for another document that was redacted entirely.

The last surviving member of The Monkees, Micky Dolenz, has sued the FBI demanding access to documents it possesses about the band. In a lawsuit filed this week, he says that he has attempted to gain this information via a Freedom Of Information Act request, but has so far had no response beyond an acknowledgement that his request was received in June.Dolenz has launched the lawsuit because, he says, he has exhausted all other avenues, despite being “entitled to timely receipt of nonexempt copies of all records responsive to his [request]”, according to Law360.He also hints in the lawsuit at what he plans to do with the information he seeks, saying that he “has the ability to disseminate information on a wide scale and may use information obtained through his request in an original work, particularly an independent film, documentary or book”.Now, you might be thinking, “Pfft! The FBI probably doesn’t even have any files on The Monkees”.
