Looks like the Rolling Stones have found yet another way to make more money in a "jumpin' jack flash". For $50 you can buy a 3-pack of "Forty Licks Merlot", a new line of wine named after the band's 2002 Greatest Hits collection. It makes you wonder what could possibly be next, "Mother's Little Hamburger Helper"? The Stones certainly don't need the money, especially when their last tour grossed over half a billion dollars!

And while you're not likely to see any Brian "Seltzer water" in stores anytime soon, the former leader of 80s rockabilly band
Stray Cats is about to "rock this town" with a new solo album, "Songs From Lonely Avenue". Setzer says
he'd love Hollywood filmmaker Quentin Tarantino to turn the albums' film noir theme into a major motion picture. However, with Setzer missing the company of his old bandmates, he's more likely to be doing the "stray cat strut" again in the near future.

Speaking of cats, you won't see any "walking in"
Dale Bozzio's house. The singer for 80's new wave band Missing Persons was charged with 13 counts of animal cruelty after authorities found numerous living, sick, and dead cats in her empty New Hampshire home. For Bozzio it means having to serve 90 days in that "destination known" as jail.

You know, maybe Dale Bozzio should have a mixed drink named after her, call it "Mental Hopscotch on the rocks".
