Back in the 1970's, pop stars like David Bowie had REAL problems. In a revealing new book about the singer, we learn how Bowie used witchcraft to fight the "pressures" of cocaine addiction during his "golden years". There was a time when Bowie would sit in his house with a pile of cocaine, stay awake for weeks and hallucinate about witches wanting his sperm for a child sacrifice to the devil! A friend, who could see Bowie needed some "changes" got him in touch with a "white witch" who soon expelled the demons.

Nowadays pop star problems seem to be about toilet seats and video games.
Jon Bon Jovi can't "have a nice day" until his "bon bon" feels better in the "john john"! Jon recently performed on the UK TV talent show 'The X Factor' and backstage not only demanded a brand new toilet seat that feels like a "bed of roses", but he had to approve it first.

Another problem pop stars have is how their likeness appears in video games.
Queen guitarist Brian May insisted they get his "crazy little" trademark perm exactly right before allowing fans to "play the game", 'Lego Rock Band'. The group No Doubt are suing the makers of "Band Hero" because their digital likeness was only supposed to be used for three No Doubt songs. Even though singer Gwen Stefani is "just a girl", a feature gives gamers the ability to have Stefani sing over 60 songs from other artists, including those who "don't speak" like a lady.

You know, David Bowie sure could have used his own video game in the 70s. Gamers could have helped him stay away from drugs, get some needed rest and avoid those witches. They could have been "heroes", just for one day.
