FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SHOWTIME HIT SERIES "CALIFORNICATION" IS ABOUT TO GET EVEN MORE WYLDE...GUITAR LEGEND ZAKK WYLDE TO GUEST STAR THIS SUNDAY

(New York, NY) - Guitar enthusiasts and fans of SHOWTIME's over-the-top smash hit comedy series "Californication" will get a very special treat when guitar god Zakk Wylde makes a guest appearance this Sunday, January 16th. Tune in to SHOWTIME at 9:00PM, ET/PT to witness Wylde make his hilarious premium cable acting debut. "Californication" stars David Duchovny in his Golden Globe®-winning role as hedonistic novelist Hank Moody who struggles to raise his teenage daughter Becca (Madeleine Martin), while still carrying a torch for his ex-girlfriend Karen (Natascha McElhone). Although primarily known for his incredible guitar prowess, Zakk Wylde is no stranger to acting having appeared in the 2001 film, "Rock Star" with Mark Wahlberg, and more recently in the independent film, "Bones."

Actually, I wouldn't rave too loud about Rock Star.

And am I the only one who feels Californication is getting a bit tiring? Dude is just a whore, parading around like we believe the idea that an author can really do fuck-all and afford to pay a mortgage.

The show was pretty cool initially, but I felt a little gross after he fucked that underage chick.

That's where we're all at now: desensatized to the point where we have to imply statatory rape to titilate us.

My recommendation: turn off the tv and read Last Exit To Brooklyn.

Zakk Wylde Cancels Iowa Show After Run In With Local Tall Boys

I hope to God that Sharon Osbourne wasn't right about Zakk Wylde. It's been hinted that she dismissed Zakk from Ozzy's band because he was too much in love with the bottle to be a very productive member.

Which is hilarious when you consider how unproductive Ozzy has been throughout his entire career.

Never mind the on-going bitterness that Ozzy has against Black Sabbath for suggesting that he was too loaded to continue fronting them.

And what did they do?

Fire him.

Zakk certainly hasn't delivered his Blizzard Of Oz yet and it doesn't look like he's those of us firmly entrenched with anti-Sharon feelings.

UPDATE! It has nothing to do with the drink, apparently, and everything to do with blood clots. So unless this ailment is code for "The Shakes," there doesn't seem to be any concern for Wylde's liver.

(New York, NY) - Black Label Society was forced to cancel a scheduled tour stop on the Black Label Berzerkus tour last night at the Anchor Inn in Omaha, Nebraska due to frontman Zakk Wylde's health. Tonight's appearance in Clive, Iowa at the 7 Flags Event Center has also been cancelled. Wylde was admitted to a hospital in Nebraska late yesterday afternoon and was diagnosed with a blood clotting condition in his leg. Wylde first suffered from blood clots in August, 2009. As of now, the Black Label Berzerkus is set to continue in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at the Eagles Ballroom this Saturday, October 2nd.BLS apologizes to ticket holders of last night's and tonight's shows.
