That darn tiger! know when to fold 'em and VH MIA!







  • Tigger's reputation gets dragged through the mud yet again! After 2006 brought several incidents to light and landed Tigger in jail for a while, a new Tigger has wasted no time wrecking havoc at Disney World in Florida, This time, vacationers at the theme park were treated to an appearance by the "Angry Tigger". A family was down there for the holidays and stopped to pose for pictures with Pooh Bear's good pal. Luckily for the 14 and 7 year olds, another sibling was nearby to take video with a cell phone as Tigger puts a choke hold on one kid and punches the other one in the face. The man in the striped suit admitted to drinking before work hence, his angry outburst. No word yet on the employment status of the guy who was quickly escorted out of the park, As you may recall, within the past year there has been a number of lawsuits agains various people wearing the Tigger costume...everything from fondling breasts of teenage girls, grabbing the asses of women, swearing at people, and now smacking kids around. These guys can't be too bright considering most of these "attacks" are either caught on camera or video as the victims pose with Tigger for a photo, Once again, dear Walt is spinning in his grave. Funny thing is, the people running the show down there are worried about their family friendly image being tarnished meanwhile, this stuff is going on, Apparently, the top priorities are pulling chili cheeseburgers and fried chicken off the menu. They will soon be testing a new policy where if they hear you swear or don't come with the proper attire, they can ask you to leave or go back to your hotel to change clothes. Unless they start screening their employees, when I go back there and see Tigger walking my way, I'm going the other direction.
  • The residents of a community outside Atlanta are up in arms over what they thought was a good neighbor turned out to be a jackass. It wasn't Jonny Knoxville or Steve-O that moved into the neighborhood, it was about who moved out without even a goodbye. Kenny Rogers. It seems as though Kenny, his wife, and two kids built their large home from the ground up in 2005. Meanwhile, hes family convinced him that the home was just not big enough. Rather than add on to the place, last summer Kenny had a construction crew come by and demolish the whole house! At the time, Kenny promised neighbors that he was going to rebuild a bigger home in that spot, As construction of the new house stopped after a few weeks, angry residents wanted to know what was going on and soon discovered that Kenny "changed his mind" about the area and called the whole thing off to build a home a few miles away because there was too much land and Kenny said, "Who would take care of a big home like that when Idie?" He should have thought about that from the start. Now everyone is up in arms because the partially constructed new home has also been demolished, All that is left on the parcel of land is dirt. Kenny didn't even replace grass or trees! After hearing the complaints, Kenny is hoping to fix things with the community by spending $65,000 on landscaping. They all are saying good riddance to The Gambler who didn't even give the neighbors a greatest hits CD, tickets to a show, or an autographed photo.
  • Finally, the list of those being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was released with Van Halen making the cut along with several others. Call this a bit of good luck for a group that's had nothing but bad luck since the beginning. Who will show up at the ceremony to accept this prestigious honor? There's at least four people that won't be showing up: David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar, Gary Cherone, and drummer Michael Anthony who recently parted ways with the group. If Eddie Van Halen is not in rehab at the moment he may attend by himself. Eddie has managed to turn the whole band into a big joke. Still going under the old band name, Van Halen is no more. No record in over a dozen years, Eddie has recruited his 15 year old kid and kid's friend to play in the band. Being unable to play the bars due to kids in the group, don't expect any new material anytime soon, if ever. This could very well be the first bar band ever to get an honor like this.
