"A Tribute to Diana": Red Tape, Tight Security, and Mass Confusion!











(AP) -LONDON- That's right gang. After leaving Chicago nearly two weeks ago and landing safely hours later in London, we were finally allowed to exit the aircraft about two hours ago due to security. One thing we all discovered is that after two weeks of not being able to get out of your seat other than the toilet, the whole plane starts to smell like ass and ampits. I'm not complaining...such a thing is necessary after the car bombing incidents this past week. As they say, or William and Harry say, "The show must go on". Now, this Birthday tribute to the late Princess Diana has been in the works for two years by the pair of Prince's who were counting on the whole world to show up. Luckily, for those who chose not to make it, VH-1 offers this daylong event for free today. I'm OK with the fact that I can't make it to the concert in person. Matter of fact, I won't even watch in on cable. There's going to be a lot of monkey business going on over there that will make viewers of the concert scratch their heads. Prince Charles told his two boys that wants nothing to do with the event, and that even includes him attending. Either he's got issues or his new wife won't let him go...who knows? Secondly, if terrorist threats overshadow the concert itself, Prince William is prepared to stay home and watch it on closed circuit television while a lookalike gets swung into place. Former N'Syncer and current homosexual Lance Bass has been brushing up on his British accent and is supposedly just waiting for the phone in his London Hotel room to ring. There's still one person left should something not work out well: The secret weapon is former name, symbol and currently back to name, Prince. Tickets were printed that say Prince will be there and that's it. It may be any one of the three. Finally, fans may once again be misleading if people go there to see Fergie. In another gray area on the ticket, there's no mention of Fergie the Black Eyed Pea leaving speculation open that what you'll see will actually be Sarah Ferguson, the original Fergie who now hawks Weight Watchers and credits them for her big weight loss. Duran Duran is the headliner for the show and they plan on doing material from their most recent release, "Arena" from 1984 which includes "Union of the Snake". For up to the minute coverage, don't look here...turn on CNN or VH-1. I've got better things to do today.
