Oscar Kennedy Center Honors the list goes on and on sad also uh this just revealed Patty scalfa Bruce's wife Springsteen's wife reveals a blood cancer diagnosis now I guess she addressed it in that documentary Road Diaries Bruce Springsteen and the East Street Band that premiered Sunday night at the Toronto Film Festival but she was diagnosed in 2018 and that she said it affects my immune system that's why I don't always go out on the road so that's why sometimes on tour you don't see her her she goes I come to a show or two and I can sing a few songs on stage that's been a treat that's the new normal for me right now and I'm okay with that H well after four years of prison he's back yeah Billy McFarland 7 months out from firefest 2 can you believe this is happening no I mean he owed like $26 million to his investors but he's moving forward with kind of a half-baked idea he was on the The Today Show giving him press time fire Festival 2 is happening April 25th uh of 2025 so we're 7 and a half months away we have a private island off the coast of Mexico in the Caribbean MC Farland says the difference this time around will be using existing infrastructure including hotels and restaurants and a production company to handle all the logistics have the conversations at least begun with any musical acts we haven't booked any talent for Fire 2 it's not going to be just music for example crowded combat we're in talks with them to set up a pit to have like live fights at fire Festival 2o McFarland says he's already sold 100 tickets at $500 a piece and packages will go on sale ranging from $1,400 to $1.1 million what do you get for $1.1 million yeah so you will be on a boat you'll be scuba diving with me you'll be bouncing around to other islands and other countries on small planes you believe someone will pay $1.1 million for a fire Festival to experience so we put applications for the million do ticket uh up a few months ago we had over 100 people apply this guy is the biggest narcissist on the planet if you're that stupid as an artist to sign up for this who would do it I think you'll have a bunch of influencers quote unquote but that's about it I think he could get Cory Feldman oh that's a good idea who in their right mind it's 7 months out there are no banss and why are people buying tickets 100 people have bought tickets do you think they're buying tickets just to see the train recog again they want to be part of the train wreck part of a pop culture moment that that is just if you gave that person if you're one of the hundred we would love to meet you yeah they bought this ticket but he's totally bsing a 100 people have applied for the million dooll ticket I don't right do not believe him for a second on crack well tomorrow night at the VMAs on MTV they had a big announcement yesterday guess who's opening the show Eminem wow Eminem opening the show you know it was going to be tonight they had to move it because of the presidential debate yeah Barnes I don't know if you knew about the creative arts Emmy Awards that's the premmy awards did you know about those so they do those are the ones they bury off of TV yeah it's this past weekend Saturday and Sunday among the winners in 99 categories Beckham for that documentary or non-fiction series Jeopardy won for game show Pat sjck won that was his first since 1998 as a host Allan

and then uh at the edited version of the ceremonies they're going to play those September 14th if you want to watch on FXX and streaming on Hulu wait so they did the whole before part that far in advance and then the ones this weekend right or live yeah yes so these were the pre pre gotcha I was a little confused by it as well uh Emily Armstrong uh Emily who is the new lead singer of Lincoln Park I don't know if you saw this on her Instagram but she is now responding to criticism over Danny Masterson and her support of him here was her Instagram story post hi I'm Emily I'm new to so many of you and I wanted to clear the air about something that happened a while back several years ago I was asked to support someone I considered a friend at a court appearance and went to one early hearing as an observer soon after I realized I shouldn't have I always try to see the good in people and I misjudged him I have never spoken with him since and then she said you know unimaginable details emerged and he was later found guilty talking about Danny Masterson but you know who is really critical of her lead singer Cedric from the mar VTA yeah I saw that his wife Chrissy was one of multiple women that accused Danny Masterson of sexual assault so yeah he was like quote do your fans know about your friend Danny Masterson your rapist friend anyway he went on and on about her of course ties to Scientology but that immediately came out after it was announced that she's the new lead singer of Lincoln Park they lit her up fast I am surprised that news didn't get it I got out early that day I saw it on boards about her I guess maybe people that were queuing up for that event somehow found out or whatever but he'd been working with her for in Lincoln Park working on stuff for like two years I know getting together and jamming and doing all I'm surprised it didn't get out I do like her voice I just think it's a weird puzzle piece for me it was announced that Kendrick Lamar is playing the halftime show it's Super Bowl February 9th Caesar Superdome in New Orleans airing on Fox remember we were talking about Billy corgan's birthmark and that he you know kept it hidden for years well now he's on Instagram publicly talking about this and kind of what he went through as a child so having grown up born in 1967 never in a million years was I told that something like this was beautiful or could be additive to who I was I've been asked thousands of times and oftentimes very rudely do you have a disease are you a burn victim and so when you're young and you know as anyone would understand what anything that separates you from pack is painful and so from my earliest memories people were making fun of me teasing me even today when I sit I'll put my right hand over my left hand to cover my hand uh I don't wear often uh short sleeve shirts you'll see find very few photos of me where you can you can see my birth mark quite clearly I remember getting a crush on someone when I was like 15 years old and I would literally hide my birthmark hoping they would like me before they would know I had a birth mark because as far as I was concerned the birth mark was disqualifying in them I think a lot of his creative juic is probably came from some of that on the inside you know what I mean it's amazing that he kept that a secret sort of all of these years and hid it that's your celebrity sleev
