There is a fad happening…it disturbs me…it amazes me…mostly it’s idiotic…

Seems like celebrities are getting their own search engines. Some well known entertainers like Beyonce, Willie Nelson, Meat Loaf, Kiss, Ne.Yo, Lil Wayne, Wynonna and even sport figures such as New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss and San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman who have their own search engines. If you try some of these, not much will come up compared to google, but users can win gifts such as iPhones, autographed albums etc. The search engines are powered by new comer engine PRODEGE and enhanced by Google and Ask.

It doesn’t seem to be working for me. Maybe I’m doing it wrong. I went to Willie Nelson’s search and I typed in “Why do you have your own search engine you old, hemp smoking country fart?” Nothing. Same thing with Beyonce’s search, I typed in “Why have you never made love to me? You hurt me so deeply yet I come back for more.” Nothing.

It’s always a shame when good meat goes bad. The rocker(Can you believe he’s 60 now?) cancelled the remaining 11 gigs in his European tour on Tuesday after being diagnosed with a cyst on his vocal cords.

Let’s hope he has a speedy recovery. Meat Loaf is one of those rare guys in the business that remains down to Earth and REAL. The statement on his website reads:

“It really breaks my heart not to be able to perform these shows. I was really looking forward to capping off a great year and celebrating the start of the holidays with the fans.”

“But I have to do what the doctors tell me so I can look forward to healing and coming back strong in 2008. Let me dispel any rumours before they start — I will be back.”

He still had 11 dates left on his Three Bats Tour, in places like Britain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands and Ireland.

Get well soon big guy. Then sing like a bat out of hell.
