Nikki Sixx & Kat Von D No More...Take Two

My friend Charlene sent me a link to some People magazine article last week that indicated that Kat Von D had been seen getting cuddly with Jesse James in Vegas. I didn't really think too much of it since a few months ago, Perez Hilton posted a pic of Kat Von D and Bam Margera walking down the street holding hands. If any of you follow Nikki Sixx or listen to his Sixx Sense radio show, you know Nikki was pretty pissed about Perez inferring that Kat and Bam were together since the two are BFF's.

But to my surprise, Kat Von D announced on Twitter, that she and Nikki were no longer together. And then I almost crapped my pants when she tweeted that she was indeed dating Jesse James. I believe she tried to delete that tweet because none of my friends could find it...but I took a screen print of it and saved it in a very special place.

Now Nikki has come out with his official statement on his Sixx Sense site wishing Kat "the very best." I suppose that's a little more official than the last time when he posted a blog about the break up on his myspace page (I fell for that one hook, line and sinker).

I find the break up news a bit of a surprise since the two of them have been posting vomit inducing tweets about each other for months and they just went to Europe together a few weeks ago. Maybe they had already broken up before they went to Europe and were there as friends? Who knows. We'll never know what actually happened between the two of them, and I suppose that's fine since it is their private lives we're talking about here.

But Jesse James? Really? I guess after hearing about all of his nasty affairs and after he broke the heart of America's sweetheart, he just seems like a real BIG douche bag. And why would any woman go from Nikki Sixx to a douche bag? Granted, I'm sure Nikki Sixx is no angel, but he's Nikki f-ing Sixx for crying out loud.

So here's to hoping that Kat Von D didn't break Nikki's heart because if she did, I'd have to hunt her down and smack her around a little bit.

My Husband vs. Nikki Sixx

If you know me or follow my blog, you know that I love Nikki Sixx. Hopefully, you also know that I love my husband. That being said, just because I'm happily married and love my husband doesn't mean I would ever pass up an opportunity to be with Nikki Sixx (please feel free to read into the meaning of "be with" if you'd like). But never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that I would actually have to choose between the two loves of my life.

For weeks now, I have been unbelievably excited about attending Rock on the Range. Aside from the fact that I would get to hang out with my lovely friends, Dee and Sarge, and see some fantastic bands (Limp Bizkit...that does not include you), I was also going to be within feet, maybe even inches of my one and only Nikki Sixx. I would dare to say that there would have been about a 97% chance of me meeting him. We would exchange glances as we extended our hands, and our palms would touch and squeeze each other in sheer delight as his breath would fall upon my skin while he introduced himself to me...ummm...I digress.

Then my dreams were shattered last Saturday night. My husband's band, Snowblynd, got their first gig in Nashville, and this gig isn't at some hole in the wall bar. The Snowblynd boys will be performing at Manuel's shop for a sale/benefit event. Who is Manuel, you ask? He's responsible for making Elvis' gold lame suit. He's responsible for creating the beautifully embroidered and rhinestoned suits for everyone from Johnny Cash to Porter Wagoner to Kid Rock to Gram Parsons. He's responsible for creating the Rolling Stones logo. And he's responsible for crafting my husband's wedding jacket. Yup, that's a pretty rad first gig in Nashville. The only problem? It's on the same day as Rock on the Range.

Oh shit. Now what do I do? Do I stay in Columbus to meet Nikki Sixx? Or do I support my husband and go to Nashville? Decision, decisions.

As my husband and I stared blankly into each other's faces over this dilemma, he said to me, "Baby, just stay here and meet Nikki Sixx. You've seen me play a million times. You may never get another opportunity like this to meet Nikki Sixx." This statement coming from the man who is well aware of the fact that if Nikki asked me to run away from him, I would go. So I ask you loyal readers...How f-ing amazing is my husband?

Of course, way down deep in my heart, I knew there was no way I could miss watching my wonderful husband mesmerize the people of Nashville. It may not be a big stadium show or the opening slot for some big time band, but it's a pretty big show to me.

So instead of going to Rock on the Range and making Nikki Sixx fall madly in love with me, I'll be in my favorite city, Nashville, Tennessee, watching my husband's band kick ass in a legendary clothier's showroom, and it's going to be incredible.

You've eluded me once again my lovely Nikki. I suppose it just wasn't meant to be...yet.

Sixx Sense to Broadcast at Rock on the Range

When I first read those words on Twitter, my heart stopped. When I confirmed those words on Nikki's myspace page, I died. Yes folks, my lovely Nikki Sixx will be in my hometown in May broadcasting his radio show, Sixx Sense, from Rock on the Range. To say I'm excited is an understatement. I immediately called my partner in crime, Dee, to let her know the good news. The chances of us actually running into him or meeting him seem pretty high at the moment. Of course, that's all subject to change but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. And if I'm really lucky, I can whisk him away to my house because I only live about 5 minutes from the venue. I kid, I kid! I have already warned my husband about the situation and he is fully aware that this May could be the month I run away with Nikki.

Sixx Sense

Yup, more Nikki Sixx news. I'm sure you've probably already heard about Sixx Sense (thanks Allyson), Nikki Sixx's new radio show with co-host Kerri Kasem. It will air five nights a week, Monday through Friday, from 7pm to midnight starting February 8th. It's supopsed to have lots of good rock talk and special guests sprinkled with typical radio music. And on either Saturday or Sunday, there will be The Side Show, a two hour radio show hosted by Nikki and Kerri featuring music from the knowns and unknowns.

I'm sure it's no surprise that I'm STOKED to check out this radio show. I'll be able to listen to Nikki Sixx almost every day! It'll almost be like I'm living with him...almost. Let's just hope my local rock station picks it up. If they don't, I may lose my mind.
