If the Jazz had a sense of humor, they would save three seats -- one for Bill Simmons, one for Eddie Vedder and one for Scott Weiland -- for the first Deron Williams-Chris Paul showdown of the season tonight at EnergySolutions Arena.

Plus the Killers kicked off their Day & Age tour and Pete Wentz played with his fans’ hearts. [...]

If only as many people cared about Velvet Revolver's music as they did about the machinations behind the sorta-supergroup, which sort of imploded back in April when Scott Weiland was pushed out of the band by former Guns N' Roses members Slash, Duff, and Matt Sorum/jumped to cash in on a Stone Temple Pilots reunion tour . In the ensuing months, while Weiland was falling into drum risers and making...

Perhaps doomed to remain unfairly ignored by hipsters and to confound torch-carrying grunge fans, the most winning aspect of Happy in Galoshes is that it sounds like the work of an artist who’s doing it for nobody but himself.

Apparently Scott Weiland, he of Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver (and heroin) fame, is a huge Smiths fan. So huge, in fact, that he covered the band's "Reel Around The Fountain" (from their self-titled debut) on the Deluxe Edition of his new album, "Happy" In Galoshes . The audio proof is above for your perusal, and it's not too bad (it's not great either), except for the uber-corny vocal breakdowns...

Scott misses Cleveland and, it seems, vintage Smiths. The Deluxe Edition of "Happy" In Galoshes includes a second disc housing this cover of "Reel Around The Fountain" from Morrissey & Co's 1984 self-titled debut. Between this and that Bowie impression , it feels like Weiland's trying to position himself amid legendary vocal company. Does it work? Well, the Smiths' original's such a great song it's...

Scott Weiland’s “Missing Cleveland,” off his recently released solo record, “Happy” in Golashes (he must be “sad”), not only evokes glory-days Stone Temple Pilots, but Weezer, too — and amazingly, this works. Lyrics like “strapped in the monkey seat, like a Martian chimpanzee” actually manage to evoke a lonely astronaut existence without being completely ridiculous or directly biting on “Space Oddity.”...

Scott Weiland this week said he was done with Stone Temple Pilots and focusing on a solo career. Now comes the video for his new single "Missing Cleveland," where he's obsessed with being an astronaut and his rocket.

Scott Weiland may be Happy In Galoshes , but that doesn't mean he isn't "Missing Cleveland" (and the snow). Whereas the video for the Bowie-esque " Paralysis " had him wandering the outback like Indiana Le Bon and occasionally sucking face with his dark-haired lady friend, "Missing Cleveland"'s all about obsessing over his rocket, dressing up in his astronaut outfit, starting a family, and sucking...

Scott Weiland showed up to his show in NYC about an hour late last week. But of course, apologizing to the crowd is for suckers. There's only three ways to get out a situation like this. Lie, which is usually the best; blame it on someone else, which is pretty easy to; or deride the one guy who makes every bad thing you do look like angel's playtime. Scott choose the latter as he cracked up at his...
