Weekend Rock List: Eighties New Wave

This week, we were surprised by our own desire to attend the inaugural Regeneration Tour, featuring new wave icons like the Human League, A Flock of Seagulls, ABC, Naked Eyes, Dead or Alive and Belinda Carlisle. To honor those purveyors of strange haircuts and neon, this week’s Rock List is dedicated to those eighties new wave bands we miss so much. Tell us your favorites and on Monday we’ll reveal the readers’ list. Before you dust off your vinyl copy of the Pretty in Pink soundtrack, here’s our picks: New Order Adam & the Ants Pet Shop Boys The Human League Sigue Sigue Sputnik [Photo: Slattery/Retna]

Ant Rap: Ant Sues Ant And Dec

ANT Kalloniastis is suing Ant McPartlin to stop him using his name in the United States. As the Sun reports, Ant K. is the host to f Celebrity Fit Club (US). He says he is losing work because he’s been mistaken for Ant P., who along with Declan Donnelly fronts the US show Wanna Bet? The case hinges on whether there is enough room in the US for more than one Ant, and if Ant P. is less popular than Ant K. Of course, both Ants may receive a call from Anthony ‘The Ant’ Squigliaro (Mobster) Adam Ant (Dandy Highwayman), Ant I (patriarch of Constantinople), and Ant Blair (self-styled living Saint). The remedy would be have an Ant-off, in which both ants are forced to fight in a tank of melted ice lolly…

IN ODDER NEWS: Old People To Practice Safe, Maddeningly Slow Sex

A senior center in Flushing, New York has begun a drive to distribute free condoms to old people. Ribbon candy flavored underwear and combination tip calculator / vibrators were also available. The country of Saudi Arabia has officially released its first music video, promoting the message that it's ok to be "cool and devout." Surely they mean cool with Krystal and devout towards shaking asses, right? A New Hampshire man has been charged with a felony after claiming that his cat managed to "shoot itself." Police were also incredulous of the cat's suicide note, "Is u talkin 2 me? k bai" A man in Washington state was bitten by a rattlesnake this weekend. What's so odd about that, you ask? It happened after the snake was decapitated. Now I'm a little scared that some of the ants from my childhood could be out for revenge. Suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pac Man" Jones made his pro wrestling debut for Total Nonstop Action this weekend, and was surrounded by actors pretending to be police officers, presumably after Pacman pretended to punch actresses pretending to be strippers.

Submit yours to tips[AT]defamer.com (please put "sighting" or "PrivacyWatch" in the subject line so we don't lose them) and tell everyone about how the sound of Mickey Rourke's loud snoring prevented you from getting any work done at the Santa Monica Public Library. In today's episode: Sacha Baron Cohen; Adam Sandler and Richard Dreyfuss; Drew Barrymore; Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, Omar Epps, and Arye Gross; Hayden Christensen; Jason Schwartzman; Chad Faust; Kirstie Alley; Howie Mandel; Nick Nolte; Mickey Rourke; Heidi Klum and Kathleen Robertson; Dylan McDermott; Lauren Graham; Justin Long; Rob Corddry; Christopher Mintz-Plasse; David Boreanaz; Emily Deschanel and Zachary Quinto; Nicky Hilton, David and Jeff Katzenberg; Christopher Mintz-Plasse; Danny Bonaduce; Brooke White; Monty Hall and Gary Owens.· I saw Sacha Baron Cohen doing filming as Bruno (gay Austrian) at On Your Marks Studio in Sherman Oaks on Feb. 21st. He was dressed in tight leather black pants with a bedazzeled g-string showing. his hair was frosted blond and straight. He was interviewing parents with their children pretending to be an german / austrian ad agent looking for a child to do a car commercial. He asked questions like : are you willing to film your child with ants? bees or wasps? dogs? ect. very funny. · Feb 20 - Adam Sandler was in the dining room of the Polo Lounge in a green t shirt at a table with a bunch of little kids. Kind of awesome. Then, in the lobby, a very old woman said, "I want something nice to snack on!" Her date, or friend, or companion, or whatever, an old guy who looked a bit like a shriveled Einstein, said, "Oh, something to do like THIS?"--and mimed shoving a candy bar in his mouth. Would it surprise you if I said that the wisened little man was Richard Dreyfuss? · I'm simply shock
