Goldsmith: No Led Zep without Plant

Led Zeppelin should not go on tour using their original name without singer Robert Plant, promoter Harvey Goldsmith has said.

Plant announced last month that he would not tour for at least two years, and his other bandmates are auditioning for a new frontman to perform in future live shows.

Mr Goldsmith, who has promoted the band in the past, including their one-off show at the O2 Arena last year, said that even if Plant agreed to go on tour, it would not be the right move for the band.

He said: “If they’re going out with another singer it’s not exactly Led Zeppelin, and if it is, then them doing a long tour, I’m not sure what the point is because they don’t need to do it.

“I think they should do something as Led Zeppelin but I think doing a long tour around the world, like the Rolling Stones did, I don’t know that would work.

“They’re one of the few lucky bands that don’t need to tour. They need to do something new and innovative that would turn them on.

“As far as I’m aware there’s no Led Zeppelin tour. Whatever the rest of the band want to do with other musicians is up to them.”

It’s Halloween, and Anne Rice has a new book — a memoir in fact — that’s climbing best-seller lists. Everything is normal, then. Normal if it were 1994 — the height of Rice’s megaselling fame as a queen of Southern Gothic pulp. For those who haven’t been paying attention lately to vampire lit, America’s most famous chronicler of bloodsuckers doesn’t live in New Orleans anymore — and hasn’t since before Hurricane Katrina hit — and she’s riding new waves of enthusiasm: the memoir and Christian lit. Her memoir, “Called Out of Darkness: A Spiritual Confession,” is the latest piece of evidence that Rice is reinventing herself in an attempt to build a reputation as a serious Christian writer. In the memoir, the 67-year-old writer doesn’t disavow the two decades she spent churning out books on vampires, demons and witches — with a batch of S&M erotica thrown in — following the breakout success of her first novel in 1976, “Interview With the Vampire.” “To be able to take the tools, the apprenticeship, whatever I learned from being a vampire writer, or whatever I was — to be able to take those tools now and put them in the service of God is a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful opportunity,” she said. “And I hope I can redeem myself in that way. I hope that the Lord will accept the books I am writing now.” “I do think that those dark books were always talking about religion in their own way. They were talking about the grief for a lost faith,” she said. “My objective is simple: It’s to write books about our Lord living on Earth that make him real to people who don’t believe in him; or people who have never really tried to believe in him,” she said. She pressed the point: “I mean, I’ve made vampires believable to grown women. Now, if I can do that, I can make our Lord Jesus Christ believable to people who’ve never believed in him. I hope and pray.” Click here for Anne Rice

this is what producing "Saw" buys you… or in this case bought you and you want to sell because after the release of "Saw 5" you can buy bigger

You may not know the name Oren Koules but if you checked out the latest “Saw” movie recently (the fifth installment opened last weekend), you have Koules to thank for your chills. Koules has been the producer on the “Saw” movie franchise and even a couple of romantic comedies and served as an ex-executive producer of TV’s “Two and a Half Men.” As the LA TImes Hot Property column shows us though, his home though, is no fright. Koules has a stunning modern home in the Trousdale Estates are of Beverly Hills. The contemporary estate has four bedrooms, an open floorplan and a cushy home theater (the listing shows a still from “Saw” on the screen in one of the pictures). It’s a little cold and clinical as some modern homes can be and you’d be afraid to leave your shoes out but the details, from the wood celings to the skylighted bathrooms, are just flawless here. The outdoor space is pretty nice too offering an outdoor cooking and dining area as well as a pool and spa. This home is listed at $12.5 million.

Saw is the biggest
