Dave Navarro Trust(s) No One

This is the lone 2001 solo album from Dave Navarro - Widely known for his Jane's Addiction and Red Hot Chili Peppers' membership. He has also lent guitar solos to popular NIN, Alanis Morissette, Tommy Lee, Shwayze, Marilyn Mason, P. Diddy, and Christina Aguilera tracks.
I first got into this album around 2003, at the peak of Dave's marriage to Carmen Electra an its companion MTV series, 'Til Death Do Us Part. Around the same time, I was into another solo album from one of Navarro's peers (Tommy Lee); Both of which I got a hold of for dirt cheap at a local flea market.
Trust No One was culled from the sessions produced from Navarro's 2 previous [failed] attempts at compiling his own record. Many of the album's tracks had appeared in demo form on either "Rhimorse" or Spread's "Unicorns & Rainbows." While most of the material was re-recorded for inclusion on the alum, a handful appeared intact, serving as B-sides.
Over the course of the slightly dark album, Dave [backed by friends Dave Kushner (Velvet Revolver), Matt Chamberlain, Chad Smith (RHCP), Roy Mayorga (Stone Sour), and DJ Nu-Mark (Jurassic 5)] roughly details the lonely lifestyle of a Rock Superstar. Dave Navarro genuinely seems to be a like-able guy and I think it's due in part to his openness and honesty, attributes which are fully conveyed on Trust No One.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
