Converse Launch Kurt Cobain, Grateful Dead Shoes

Converse are celebrating their 100 year anniversary by selling four limited edition shoes, featuring Kurt Cobain and the Grateful Dead.


The Fall 2008 Footwear Collection will apparently "celebrate the brand's iconic presence throughout the last ten decades and undeniable influence on pop culture", reads a press release.


Here are photos of all four shoes - article continues underneath.

Each act will be the subject of two pairs of shoes, with Grateful Dead's retailling at $40 - $70 (sold from June) and Cobain's homage costing $50 - $65 (available now). The shoes will be sold in the US at Journeys stores.


Scott Patt, Converse Global Footwear Creative Director, says of the decision to select the two musical figures: "As we continue into the second half of the Converse Century with our Fall 2008 Footwear Collection, we celebrate the originals who have never been afraid to disrupt the status quo."


"They are the renegades of sound, the league-changers, champions of underachievement, the paint drippers and those with flawless style. These pioneers follow what's inside and do what they believe to be right. They are the ones who have created the last 100 years of Converse history and will be the ones to define the next 100 years."

Peter Bogdanovich - Bogdanovich Oneal Will Recover From Drug Troubles


LATEST: Actress TATUM O'NEAL will "pull through" her recent drug troubles, according to director PETER BOGDANOVICH.

The Oscar-winning former child star - who chronicled her recovery from a heroin addiction in her 2004 book A Paper Life - was spotted by a narcotics team exchanging money with a man three blocks from her home in the Big Apple earlier this week (begs02Jun08).

The 44-tear-old was charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanour.

But Bogdanovich - who directed her in her Oscar winning turn in Paper Moon - is adamant she will bounce back.

He tells People.com, "She said she was clean and happy to be doing the show (Rescue Me).

"She's a strong woman and has been through a lot. She's a good girl. She's had some tough breaks."

"I'm sure she can (recover). She has a strong spirituality. She should pull out of it."

Dr Phil scraps Britney Spears show

Television psychologist Dr Phil McGraw has scrapped plans to air a show about troubled pop singer Britney Spears after he was criticised for visiting her while she was in hospital.
McGraw visited Spears at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, after she was admitted for an evaluation following a custody dispute at her home.
Several other counsellors later accused the therapist of breaching the singer's privacy by visiting her at the hospital.
However, McGraw said yesterday, in an interview with 'The Early Show', that he visited Spears "at the request of her family".
He claimed that the singer's mother, sister and brother "were very frustrated that she apparently wasn't going to be held (in hospital) for a longer period of time."
McGraw said that he had planned to tape a show on yesterday, stressing that the show would not have explored the tabloid side of Spears' problems, but instead would have focused on other issues surrounding her case.
"Clearly, it is not just Britney's family struggling to find a way to protect adult children who cannot be ordered or compelled to seek help," he said.
The television psychologist also said: "Because the Spears situation is too intense at this time, and out of consideration to the family, I have made the decision not to move forward with the taping."
McGraw said that details of his visit to Spears would remain private.
The singer was released from hospital at the weekend.

It's official: New Kids are back on the Block

Stranger things have happened. Possibly.

On yesterday’s “Today” show, the members of Boston boy band New Kids on the Block announced plans to reunite, then jetted from New York City to Medford to officially break the news to their hometown fans during a meet-and-greet at the KISS 108 studio.

What forces may have aligned to convince five grown men to reprise their role as teen heartthrobs is still unclear. But it’s happening.



And there were enough screaming girls with giant Jordan Knight buttons to indicate this move might be well-received.

Of course, the five bandmates who brought us hits such as “The Right Stuff” and “Hangin’ Tough,” along with the famous side-to-side, swinging-legs dance, are neither new nor kids anymore.

Most of them are pushing 40; the baby of the group, Joey McIntyre, is 35.

Still, time has generally been kind to them; three of the five were hot back in the day and still are (this assessment coming from a former NKOTB fan who had tapes and posters).

It also helps that the bandanas, loud jackets and super-styled hairdos have been replaced by close cuts and chic attire: button-down shirts, ties and sport jackets.

Die-hard fans who might have been praying for a reunion have been praying for a while.

After paving the way for the Backstreet Boys and the *NSYNCs of the world, the Kids broke up in 1994. Knight, McIntyre and Danny Wood all continued their careers in music, while Donnie Wahlberg went on to acting. Only Jonathan Knight left showbiz entirely and got into real estate.

Now the group has an album and tour in the works, and Jordan Knight promised that the fivesome will be dancing up a storm. Wahlberg said the sound will be signature NKOTB, but with a few fewer “oh-ohs.” Sweet.

Fans should have their outdoor voices ready by next month, when the Kids will return to “Today” on May 16 to perform their first live concert since 1994. Hey, all they can do is take it Step By Step.
