Wolfie Tours

Wolfgang Van Halen recently played with Alter Bridge during their show in L.A.. Mark Tremonti says he is planning a solo project for when Myles Kennedy tours again with Slash. "I'm putting together just this little solo project deal. I figured since Myles is doing a full-length [tour] with Slash at some point, it's been rumored, I don't want to find myself sitting. Being a songwriter most of my life, I have so many ideas just sitting around that I know will never see the light of day. So it's a good opportunity to get some of those ideas on the table.

Double Dog Dare

An 8 year-old Woodward, Oklahoma boy tried to recreate the pole licking scene from A Christmas Story yesterday. Firefighters found the boy standing on his tiptoes with his tongue frozen to a stop sign pole across from his school. They poured water on the boy's tongue and then waited a minute until pulling him off the pole. When asked why he'd stuck his tongue to the pole in such cold weather, the boy said it was because his older brother had dared him to do it. He was taken to the hospital for treatment

Steve NO Jobs

Lindsay Garvey was fired from her job at a Boston-area restaurant because of iPhone's alarm glitch on New Year's Day. The 28 year-old wrote Apple CEO Steve Jobs a letter that reads:

"Upon my termination, I was told that I was wonderful, but that my tardiness was unfair to the other employees. So, Mr. Jobs, I'd like to let you know that you have officially, directly contributed to unemployment in 2011. If you had warned me about the glitch, I could have at least picked up a $5, battery-operated alarm clock that would have saved my job. Now I'm unemployed in a time when jobs are not easily had, and I am short on my rent. So, Happy New Year to you, Mr. Jobs."

Jobs has yet to respond to Garvey's e-mail. Her boss says she was fired because she had been late before.
