Chad Kroeger Fires Housekeeper For Allegedly Wearing Girlfriend's Clothes

Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger has made headlines yet again, this time for firing his housekeeper of two years, Arlene Morris. No, this isn't as bad as him being convicted of DUI, allegedly assaulting hecklers or losing popularity contests to a brine-soaked vegetable. But it still kind of reeks because the firing took place a few days before...

Now, we've seen some pretty heinous tattoos in our time, but this one should probably be submitted to ugliesttattoos.com straight away. Jason Mac is a New Zealand radio DJ for The Rock FM.

The Ten Funniest Dudes In Rock

Stand up comedy and rock 'n' roll are a lot alike. George Carlin was raging against the machine long before Zack De La Rocha and Tom Morello weren't doing what you told them. Mitch Hedberg rocked the mic with an original delivery that was stripped down and raw, much like a punk rock band out of Queens, N.Y. Just as stand up comedians can...

The More You Deplore Me, The Rougher I Get

The dynamics of when rock celebrities come out swingin' John Lennon wanted us all to give peace a chance, but there've been a number of incidents in recent months where celebrity musicians certainly didn't.
