WONDERKILLER

Killing your wonder, one meaningless piece of information at a time ...


John Corbett: That's hot.

... You clamoured to see his "Northern Exposure" and fulfilled your fantasies of "Sex in the City." Then he married your fat, but cute ass in a "Big Fat Greek Wedding." Now he's come to croon country music to you. Yes friends, back for the second time to the Crystal Palace for what is rumored to be his third performance ever this Friday — Bo Derek's boyfriend, John Corbett ... If you wondered where KLLY 95.3 FM's former DJ JR Hall went he's recently taken a job in Northeast, Penn., about an hour outisde of Philly and NYC. It's a top 40 station and he'll be doing the afternoon drive at WBHT-FM. At the new station JR won't be JR anymore (that region has a JR) so he's going by Ryan now ...


Brian "Head" Welch

...Former Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch is in India spreading the love as he continues his grand, world tour of self-discovery and love after leaving the kagillion album selling, Bako hard rock proprietors, so stop asking me if he's dead cause he's alive and kickin' ... Korn is busy recording their new album sans Brian and it's tentatively scheduled to drop at the end of the year. They have no plans on replacing Head ... Korn is NOT recording in B-town. Their management says they are in Hollywood making musical magic on a disk they hope will be their best ever ...


The Disney musical: Aida.

... ATTENTION ETHINIC SINGERS AND ACTORS: Auditions for Disney's "Aida" start July 16. BMT needs you. This is an Elton John score so only the strong need apply ... Local actress Helen Prine had to learn the music and lines quick as the lead of Fanny Brice in the Stars Theatre Restaurant production of "Funny Girl." It seems the theater was originally going to go with an equity player, but it just got too pricy, and the local song-n-dance gal was brought in to fill her shoes ... The Rabobank totally put the kibosh on the Bakersfield Music Theatre's plans for Andrew Lloyd Webber's "CATS." The local theater troup had plans to tackle the feline musical, but The Rabobank announced its new theater series that would bring "CATS" to B-town just one month before the BMT show. Rather than compete with a traveling group of professional actors, BMT has altered their schedule. They're doing "The Wizard of Oz" instead ... The Dusk Devils are opening for guitar legend Link Wray July 15 at Fishlips. Naturally, they're psyched ... Local actress/director/Lil'-Miss-EVERYTHANG Ashley Bretz (the Ashley half of the AshJen) has taken on a job with the Fox Theater handling promotions. Don't know the Ash? Here's why she will go down in 'Fake Famous in Bakersfield' history ... Local downtown cajun eatery Gumbeaux's almost bit the big one this month but at the last minute a buyer came through and Mike Thibodeaux's hushpuppies n' creme bruele will continue to flow freely downtown ... Hot spots of the week: Azul (the old Paco's Tacos), Xander's Grill on 19th Street and Club Tam at the Tam O' Shanter. Be there or be nowhere, my little mochachinos! ...

And did I mention Chris Isaak? Mmm ... Chris Isaak ... He's coming to town. See the blog below, mochacinos!
