This great brit band has left a legacy spanning 3 decades. They came about to the scene the same year I was born. 1976.

Robert Smith, Michael Dempsey (bass), Laurence “Lol” Tolhurst (drums) and Porl Thompson (guitar) received a recording contract worth £1000 from Hansa Records. A year later, they had a rift about the direction of the band and renamed to what they are known as today from their initial name “The Easy Cure”.

At the age of 21, Robert and the band was under heavy influence of drugs and Smith adopted a theatrical gothic enhanced look.

“I didn’t see that there was much point in continuing with life. In the next two years, I genuinely felt that I wasn’t going to be alive for much longer, and I tried pretty hard to make this feeling come true.”

In the late 82s, The Cure disbanded leaving Smith as a one man band. He released the pop single “Let’s Go to Bed” aimed to shock critics and perhaps kill The Cure. Unfortunately, the song was a success.

Many years went by with Robert experimenting with crazy sounds, at times making himself sound as bad as possibly but the fans just loved everything he churned out.

50 cent is apparently pissed with the emergence of a new rapper that’s cheaper than him. Word has it on the streets that he’s planning a big hit with G Unit on this mysterious rapper.

Britney Spears is hot on the news again. This time, she’s accused of hurling verbal abuse at a 13 year old girl on the set of her sister Jamie Lynn’s TV show.

She denies the accusation though. Claims that she’s just giving a “sisterly talking to”.

On another note, Christina Aguilera has dismissed allegations of her bad mouthing Britney Spears, stating that her career is over after her pregnancy.

Motley Crue rocker Tommy Lee is not engaged with actress Pamela Anderson, according to media reports.

Rumors about the third marriage spread into the media after Pamela and Tommy were photographed last month in Hawaii.

“I took Pamela and the kids to Hawaii for her birthday. And anytime we get together for any length of time, people are like, ‘Oh, they’re getting married.’” he said.

“You know, we’re stuck together forever. We love each other dearly and we have two beautiful kids,” Lee told Leno. “But as far as getting married or engaged, I’m not engaged or married.”

Adidas said that it has agreed to buy Reebok for $59 a share, or $3.8 billion, combining two brands with links to both athletics and lifestyle.

They will be going up against sporting giant Nike.

Nike’s annual sales are approximately $14 billion worldwide. Adidas has about $8 billion in annual sales while Reebok has nearly $4 billion.

Adidas apparels were first made popular by Run DMC. They were the driving force behind the Adidas jumpsuit craze of the 80’s.

Even Bob Marley was a fan of Adidas, being an avid footballer.
