Free Dr. Pepper Online (Courtesy of Axl Rose)
Saturday, November 22nd, 2008Mark your calendars: Sunday’s the day to cash in on Dr. Pepper’s long-standing challenge to Axl Rose.
The soft drink maker had said back in March that it’d give a free can of Dr. Pepper to “everyone in America” if Rose’s Chinese Democracy album actually came out in 2008. The album — currently available for free streaming at MySpace Music — officially comes out Sunday.
So that means Sunday, you can grab your free can and celebrate. Dr. Pepper says it’ll post coupons for free 20-ounce sodas on its Web site for 24 hours starting at 12:01 a.m. Sunday. The coupons will be good until the end of next February.
“We never thought this day would come,” Dr. Pepper execs said in a statement. “But now that it’s here, all we can say is: The Dr Pepper’s on us.”
Carbonated refreshment aside, though, does Chinese Democracy live up to its 14-year hype? The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times both have interesting reviews that sum the effort quite well. Slash, however, is thus far staying silent.

Fronted by singer-songwriter Jonah Johnson, the innovative band melds rock, country and pop influences into a wholly original sonic landscape that has complemented a few recent Hollywood hits starring some of Blackcowboy’s famous fans, including the Lukas Haas dramatic comedy Gardener of Eden and Cameron Diaz’s My Sister’s Keeper, which includes a cameo by the band’s sexy frontman. Recently, two more of Blackcowboy’s influential fans stepped in to help the band with its debut video for “Come On,” which was directed by Entourage’s Kevin Connolly and co-stars supermodel Gisele Bundchen. Check out MySpace Celebrity’s exclusive premiere of the video then make space on your iPod for the tune that’s sure to find its way into your “Top Plays” list.

‘American Idol’s’ David Cook CD in Stores Today !!
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008At one point on the road he’s still on, leading from “American Idol” to the iPod promotions and summer shed tours of actual rock stardom, David Cook recently stopped for a bite to eat. In the car with him was Raine Maida, the Canadian singer and songwriter who fronts Our Lady Peace, a band Cook famously loves. The 25-year-old newbie had seen the 38-year-old veteran perform numerous times back when Our Lady Peace was on the rise and Cook was still just a Midwestern kid making demos on the weekends. Now here they were, driving around on a break from writing songs for Cook’s major-label debut. “I had one moment with Raine when I asked him about the first time I saw him live,” said Cook during an interview in the West Hollywood offices of the “Idol”-driven management company 19 Entertainment. “It was at this music festival in Kansas City called Rockfest. I was really engrossed in his performance — he didn’t look at the audience the whole time he was performing. Watching him that day, I would have been so apprehensive about meeting him.”
