Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Spotted!

Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong, leaving her West Village townhome on their way to an Iron Maiden concert at Madison Square Garden.

I had no idea that Iron Maiden was still touring. The most I know about Iron Maiden is from that Wheatus song, “Teenage Dirtbag,” which I’m posting the video for here because that song rocks, and the video has Jason Biggs and Mena Suvari in it. This is the censored version, where they blank out the word “gun” in “he brings a gun to school,” because we all know that school violence is a direct symptom of alt-rock lyrics. Thank you, FCC, for so bravely preventing another Columbine. If we spend all our time focusing on removing even the most innocuous references to violence from the songs we hear on the radio, we’ll find we won’t have any time at all to tackle any of the real reasons we see violence in our schools, which is a good thing, because doing that would be hard.

  • My boyfriend saw Maiden here in Calgary and he said the show fully ROCKED! I was so jealous, but tickets sold out here in 7 minutes!

  • Ha! Just like bleeping references to drugs will make teenagers not want to smoke weeds! Because that’s why I smoked weed, because all the videos on MTV talked about pot. That’s just how things were in the 80s. Thank goodness modern children have so many concerned people looking out for them.

  • I just saw Iron Maiden in Phoenix last month and they rocked a PACKED house. It was awesome. I’m glad Lance and Kate have good taste. They are so cute together.

  • Because they probably act like a little bitch in real life too and don’t have any friends, and therefore don’t have anything better to do.

  • Sarah, from Calgary – we need to talk. I am moving there next year…
    Sorry this has nothing to do with the post haha

    @Tako: the song is like “I’ve got two tickets to Iron Maiden baby” and now that I think about it, many other references to Iron Maiden. listen to it!

  • LOVE this song, me and my boyfriend randomly bust out singing it quite often, we are nuts by the way and guess what? We started seriously talking mairrage the other night so I’m way excited :D
