Celebrity Blissfiles Numero Tres- The Phone Number

Today's installment of Celeb Blissfiles is brought to you by Tina Bambina, PGL junior staff member.

Arabian Prince, formerly of NWA, was DJing at X & Y in the valley. Spinning classic hip hop, including Sir Mix-A-Lot's classic I Like Big Butts, the memorable tunes kept on flowin' all night long. At the end of the night, Tina walked up to the stage, gripping a pen she had dug up from her bag and a piece of receipt paper from the EFTPOS machine at the bar.
"Excuse me?" she said nervously. "Would it be okay if I got an autograph?"
Expecting a shrug-off, or, at best, a scrawled autograph with her name spelt wrong, she was instead greeted by Arabian Prince gazing at her from under his cap, brim pulled down low.
"Of course" he said, voice low and husky. "Step up here with me."
She did so, then asked if it would be too far for him to write down 'Let's Hit the Beach', in homage to her favorite song of his. He looked up momentarily, apparently surprised that she was familiar with his song from decades before. He signed his name with a smiley face at the end. It was almost too much too bear.
"Will you be in Brisbane tomorrow?" she asked, making conversation.
"No" he replied.
"Oh" she replied.
"But.....I can give you my phone number?"
"I......Uh.....What?! No, I just meant.....I work.... in a record store. But..... thank you!!!!"
Cool as a cucumber kept in the freezer, he shrugged and said "That's okay."
For the next several weeks, nothing else came out of her mouth, except "So Arabian Prince played at X & Y the other week, and....."

Celebrity Blissfiles Numero Dos - The Smile.

Number Two in the Celebrity Blissfiles is brought to you by the vivacious Bella Beauty, PGL writer wunderbar.

NAS
Nas. Centimeters away. Smooth skin, covered in a fine sheen of sweat. Tattoo visible in minute detail. Bejeweled medallion, glinting in the light, hypnotic as a swinging watch, reflecting in his dark, soulful eyes. Kinda short.
Rewind to how this all happened....
Due to some primo weed exchanging hands, PGL writer Bella managed to wrangle herself an onstage seat at Nas's Tivoli show. Eventually sitting down was too much to bear and she found herself standing in the middle of the walkway that separated the main stage from the back stage area to get an even better view. Before she knew it, the show had ended, and Nas was standing directly in front her in an attempt to get past. The realization that she was looking down at The Man, The Legend, overcame her, and she became unable to move  She was acutely aware that she needed to step to the side in order to let him by, but she was physically unable to move. One second went by, then another, and another. While the other ladies present were clad in stilettos and gold mesh dresses, she had come straight from work with her hair in pig tails, and a Felix The Cat t-shirt on, and, in conjunction with her manic expression, she resembled a grade school student with severe mental health issues. She managed to raise her eyes from his glistening torso to his face, and contorted her mouth into a psychotic grin. "Ughn...shmio...ah?" A strangled series of grunts burst free from her mouth, but no English would emerge. Nas lifted his eyes to meet hers, and, smoother than a cobra, smiled at her. She shifted both feet to the side just enough to let him through.... and promptly swooned back onto her chair.

Celebrity Blissfiles Numero Uno.


ce·leb·ri·ty/səˈlebrətē/

Noun:
  1. A famous person.
  2. The state of being well known: "his prestige and celebrity grew".

By definition, a celebrity  is exactly the same as us, only famous. So why do we idolize them? Fantasize about them? Is it because of the air of prestige they carry? Is it because we don't know what they're really like as people? Is it because they've achieved something we haven't? We dunno. But who cares anyway! Here's instalment one of some of our favourite celeb encounters.

*as contributed by the entire PGL staff*
*instalment one brought to you by PGL member Cherie Cherrybomb*

Henry Rollins.

PGL staff member Cherie was working at her day job as a record store saleswoman extraordinaire, (by night, she was a superhuman villain with razor- sharp talons for fingernails) when she noticed an incredibly buff man with steel grey hair browsing through the avant garde CD section. 'Those pectoral muscles!' she thought 'Those tattoos..... They're so familiar.....' He turned around. As though in some kind of wonderful dream, she realised that this finely chiselled specimen of middle-aged man was in fact Henry Rollins. Determined to get an autograph and express her adoration for Black Flag era Damaged, she grabbed a copy of Get On The Bus by Monsieur Rollins. He came closer. This was it. After innumerable hours of plugging her head with DC hardcore, she was soon to reap her reward. She began to approach him. Her clammy, shaking hands held the book tightly. One step. Two. Three.  Skin flushed. Heart pounding. So close, she raised her head.....  then turned and ran down the stairs. Oh well. He was probably a dickhead anyway.

Hudson. LOVE.


Harriet Hudson is Da Bomb. Hailin' from sunny Queensland, with a veritable goldmine of rad bands under her belt, she puts the rock in rockin' it, the love in lovely, and the smiles on our dials. Reporter Kath Pollock caught up with her via "email communication" to show the world why more sick chicks should grab a guitar and just rock the fuck out.







Describe Good God in three words? 



   Great band 07-09. 

Describe Circle Pit in three words?
rock N roll.

Describe The Eyebrows Band in three words?
cutie lil angels.

What's the juiciest concert you've ever been to?
I saw slayer a couple of years ago in Sydney and that was probably the best. But remember that time we went to cannibal corpse together, darlin? that was a great night too! 

Who's the juiciest celeb you've ever met?
Jennifer from Royal Trux / RTX, followed by Janick from Iron Maiden! 
Traditionally, there have been more fellahs both playing in rock bands, and listening to rock toons. Why do you reckon this is? Do you wish there were more sheilas in the scene?
I have no idea! I love the gals that I'm friends with but I think that some gals can be real bitches so I'm always fine to hang out with fellas. 

Allow me to posit a scenario. You open a doorway, and discover Alice Cooper, Glen Danzig, and Elton John chilling inside.
They invite you in. What happens next?
That would be weird! I think I'd just wanna hang out with Alice Cooper because I listen to his radio show all the time and he seems really nice. As much as I am obsessed with Danzig, I reckon he would be no fun / a total arsehole, and I reckon Elton would just be a bung dickhead. Maybe me, Alice and Glenn could shout Elton a cab home and just go get a pizza. Oh wait Danzig wouldn't eat the pizza because he is obsessed with health and fitness. Shit, I actually don't know.... 

You live in Melbs, but you've lived in Sydders, Brizzie, and Maleney. Do you have a fave? Why?
I like melb the best right now. I'm with my very good friend Sophie and our place is diiiiivine. You'll see it when you visit! The only bad thing is that Melbourne winter is pretty unbearable - but thank christ it's almost over for this year. Gonna try and skip the country for the next one. I'm always gonna be obsessed with Queensland because that's where I grew up and most of the fam still live there. Sydney is sick too, so many amazing places to go swimming.  I love heaps of places in Australia though! I really wanna go back to the Northern Territory with my dad, so sick.

Best song? Kiss- Strutter
Journey- Don't Stop Believin'
Wu-Tang Clan-Shame On a Nigga
Runaways- Cherry Bomb
NWA- Straight Outta Compton
DEFINITELY STRUTTER! I am obsessed with Kiss. Remember when we used to always play the platinum collection in the shop? and Roly was like "oh love this is terrible". That whole list is sick though, it'd make a real pretty playlist xx.

If you were in a reality tv show for one ep, what show would you pick? Why?
Which ever one would pay me the most - what do you reckon? Maybe the Bachelor / Bachelorette. I am obsessed with those shows at the moment!

What's the sexiest thing a bloke has ever said to you?
Ummm ha ha. I can't remember. My current fella shouted me a rice cooker the other day - I thought that was pretty sexy. 

What's the cringest thing a bloke has ever said to you?
"I miss us". 

How much can you just NOT WAIT til I come to visit you next month? Why? ;) 
Oh I am real excited for sure! I can show you all the best places to eat / get pissed. Just like the old times! We should also go to this hard rock / hair metal night called "back in the day", I'm going this weekend and there's an AC/DC cover band playing. Stuff supporting the local scene, let's just party! Love you Kathy. Let's have a real good gasbag soon. xxxx.

For more updates on the legendary Hazza, just join the real world and get amongst it. Mmmmmyeah. 

The key to contentment- check out a pretty face....

If we could interview animals for PGL in the name of positive energy and good vibes, we would. That's for darned sure. Unfortunately, most animals we know don't speak English, and most likely don't understand us when we're speaking it either. So we're left with one option, which is to post piccies of some cuties on the blog instead. If you're feeling a little on the black cloud side of life, take a stroll through the rainforest, and check out the hopping wallabies and pretty parrots. Go to a petting farm- cuddle the pigs and pat the ponies. Curl up in bed with your pooch or kitty. Proximity to a gorge animal makes us happy, because:
a. we like cute things.
b. we like beautiful things.
c. we like loyalty and friendship without demand.
d. we all want to be running through the forest or climbing over garden walls to explore, or lazing around all day long with nothing more pressing to do then roll over once or twice; and animals allow us to indulge our fantasies without actually abandoning everything structured we have in our oh-so human lives. So go do it. In the meantime, look at this.
