Fans of American Idol who thought Paula Abdul was "forever their girl" will have to face the "cold hearted" reality that she is not returning to the show this season. For Paula "the promise of a new day" brings her one step closer to having her own TV show. Abdul recently announced she's working on a talk show that will debut within two years. I guess this means you won't see her "rush rush" back to Idol anytime soon.
 
Just like you won't see George Michael on a Wham! reunion. Michael thinks he and former band mate Andrew Ridgeley are too old for such a thing. Michael also cringes just thinking about their classic hit, "Wake Me Up", which is a "no go" by today's standards.
 
Another artist not "in the mood" for a memory is Robert Plant, who doesn't feel a "whole lotta love" for his former band. Now that Plant is working on a second album with Allison Krauss, it's possible Led Zeppelin will never perform again.
 
That's a shame because Zep guitarist Jimmy Page would love to see a reunion. And with already having played with everyone from Paul Rodgers to the Black Crowes, the only place remaining for Page to leave his stamp is...on a stamp!
 
Coming soon to a post office in the UK are postage stamps featuring classic album covers from David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin and others. Somehow I don't think these are the last "licks" Jimmy Page had in mind.
