Last Saturday afternoon, less than a day after "Breaking Dawn," the termination of Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series, hit shelves, the Internet grumblings began. Of course, many readers were still thirstily drinking up the saga of Edward and Bella. But unitary fast reader expressed her disappointment in the book by debut a word on Amazon.com urging fellow disgruntled fans, "Don't cauterise your copies of the book � RETURN THEM."


(SPOILER ALERT, though we'll try to keep them faint for all you slowpokes.) And judging by the heated backward and forward that followed, there are plenty of other Twilighters complaining around what is or isn't in the book: the lack of more denotative sex scenes, the excessive amount of sex scenes, the implausibility of Bella's pregnancy, the pace of the story, the want of a big battle scene, the whole Jacob section, and on and on. One blogger told Entertainment Weekly that the story "didn't seem to fit the world that I thought Stephenie Meyer created." So how does the writer feel around this vicious reaction to the novel that sold 1.3 million copies in its first day?

Although Tesla emerged during the idealization days of haircloth metal, they ne'er totally agree the spirit of the times. Their music was well-produced pop-metal, to be certain, just they never indulged in the glammed-up excess that made cartoons out of many of their peers. Instead, Tesla's music was bluesy, no-frills, '70s-style hard careen; it concentrated more on solid musicianship than tremendous, arena-ready choruses (or hairdos), and it had a noticeable guts -- not so much the urban tAT of Guns N' Roses, merely a grounded attitude and a true lovingness for previous school intemperate tilt. Despite their refreshful want of posturing, Tesla was scarce as hard-hit as the rest of the pop-metal populace when grease wiped out classic-style hard john Rock music, only they did produce one of the more healthy bodies of put to work of the geologic era.


Tesla was formed in Sacramento, CA, in 1985, out of an sooner, locally popular mathematical group called City Kidd which dated back to 1982. Tesla's card featured singer Jeff Keith, the underrated guitar tandem of Frank Hannon and Tommy Skeoch, bassist Brian Wheat, and drummer Troy Luccketta. At management's suggestion, the band named itself subsequently the character discoverer Nikola Tesla, world Health Organization pioneered the radio set only was given only late credit entry for doing so. After playing various showcases in Los Angeles, Tesla quickly scored a handle with Geffen and released their debut album, Mechanical Resonance, in 1986; it produced a minor hard rock 'n' roll impinge on in "Modern Day Cowboy," reached the Top 40 on the album charts, and finally went platinum. However, it was the follow-up, 1989's The Great Radio Controversy, that unfeignedly stony-broke the band. The first single, "Heaven's Trail (No Way Out)," was another hit with intemperate rock audiences, stage setting the phase for the second single, a warm, comforting ballad called "Dearest Song" which substituted a dash of hipster utopianism for the common power ballad histrionics. "Erotic love Song" hit the bug out Top Ten and made the band stars, push The Great Radio Controversy into the Top 20 and double-platinum gross revenue figures; the follow-up single, "The Way It Is," was as well something of a hit.


In retention with their unpretentious, blue-collar roots, Tesla responded to stardom not by aping the glam theatrics of their tourmates, only by uncovering things grim. The idea behind 1990's Five-spot Man Acoustical Jam was virtually unheard of -- a pop-metal band playing loose, informal acoustic versions of their best-known songs in concert, summation a few favorite covers ('60s classics by the Beatles, Stones, CCR, and others). Fortunately, Tesla's music was inflexible enough to hold up when its roots were exposed, and one of the covers -- "Signs," an rarefied bit of hippy outrage by the Five Man Electrical Band -- became another Top Ten hit, as well as the band's highest-charting single. Not only did Basketball team Man Acoustical Jam hit the Top 20 and go pt, but it likewise helped directly inspire MTV's Unplugged series, both with its relaxed vibration and its monitor that acoustic medicine could sound vital and gumptious.


The studio apartment reexamination to The Great Radio Controversy, Psychotic person Supper, was released in 1991 and quickly became another platinum impinge on. It didn't grow whatsoever singles quite as successful as "Honey Song" or "Signs," but it did spin off the sterling figure of singles of whatsoever Tesla album: "Edison's Medicine," "Call It What You Want," "What You Give," "Song and Emotion." Perhaps that was partly because Tesla's workmanlike hard rock 'n' roll didn't good ludicrous if it was played on rock music wireless aboard the fresh crop of Seattle bands. But careless, the winds of change were blowing, and by the fourth dimension Tesla returned with their 1994 follow-up, Fall apart a Nut, those winds had blown pretty much whatever new blue-collar voiceless stone off the airwaves. Rupture a Nut did sell over 800,000 copies -- an exceedingly respectable exhibit, disposed the musical climate of 1994, and a testament to the fan fundament Tesla had managed to crop over the years. But all was non well inside the band. Tommy Skeoch had been battling an addiction to tranquilizers, and his problems worsened to the item where he was asked to leave the band in 1995.


Tesla attempted to continue as a quartette for a clip, but the chemistry had been irreparably neutered, and they stone-broke up in 1996. Most of the bandmembers began playacting with littler outfits, none of which stirred beyond a local layer. When Skeoch's health improved, the banding arranged a modest reunion in 2000, which quickly became full-fledged. In the fall of 2001, the mathematical group released a two-disc live album, Replugged Live, which authenticated their reunion hitch. Into the Now, which was co-produced by Michael Rosen (Will, AFI), appeared in March 2004. A collection of '70s covers called Real to Reel arrived in 2007.

Jay Leno - Leno Set For Gay Pride Rally


U.S. TV host JAY LENO is determined to put his recent controversial remarks about homosexuality behind him - by appearing at a gay pride event.

The chat show king sparked outrage among gay rights groups by asking actor Ryan Phillippe to give him his "gayest look" during an interview.

Phillippe recently revealed his first paid acting role was as a gay teen on TV soap One Life To Live, and comic Leno decided to poke fun at his admission when he was a guest on his late night show in March (08). He was subsequently forced to apologise for his comments.

But Leno has now signed up to appear at a gay marriage celebration and rally in West Hollywood on Thursday (05Jun08) night, alongside gay Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight.

California recently legalised gay marriage and the event will see a group of couples tie the knot in celebration of the state's new law - and Leno insists he will attend to voice his support for the cause.

A spokesperson for the event says, "He said that he is from Massachusetts and that the sky did not fall in their state when marriage equality became the law of the land there.

"He wants to impress upon everyone here in California that the sky will not fall here either."

Hammond quits new home after just 70 hours

Top Gear's Richard Hammond was in his new home for just 70 hours before deciding to move back to his old one.
Hammond, 38, soon realised the new place was not for him - and now faces a nightmare bill of up to €60,000 for changing his mind.

"I got there first, ready for the removal men. And as they started unloading, I began to wonder. Everything was smart, and rather posh and lovely, but could we fit in?
"When Mindy and the girls arrived, I thought 'This isn't right'."
