NewsBLITZ: CALL ME INVINCIBLE TOUR

Women rock this summer as legendary artists Blondie and Pat Benatar share the stage together for the first time on the Call Me Invincible Tour! The female rock icons—along with all-female quartet The Donnas as openers—will take on a month's worth of tour dates during July and August.

Blondie—known for hits like "Call Me," "Heart Of Glass" and "The Tide Is High"—is led by the iconic Deborah Harry who calls Benatar a "friend" and "a fearless female rocker who has entertained me and her wealth of fans." She adds: "Being able to bring our two shows to fans across the country is very exciting!"

"Deorah and I have been friends forever," elates Benatar, the voice behind hits like "Love Is A Battlefied," "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" and "Heartbreaker." "I'm thrilled that we're finally getting an opportunity to tour together—it should be a blast!"

Rock and Roll Hall of BLEHHHHHHHHH

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame FINALLY realized what a great idea it would be to open an annex in NYC. The museum itself is amazing - i had the pleasure of going through it alone last Friday and the opening video portion you sit through before entering the actual museum had me all choked up (which i guess isn't saying much as i am the girl who weeps at Californication).

However, the "party" they threw last night to celebrate the opening couldn't have been less fucking rock n roll. But I guess I shouldnt have expected anything more from a foundation who still has not inducted JOAN JETT or ALICE COOPER (yet they have the nerve to play Joan Jett + the Blackhearts songs at their party). But i digress. The DJ got off to a really awesome start playing Sabbath, The Clash, Zeppelin...then I'm not sure what happened but I started hearing lots of hip hop and weird remixes. Debbie...i mean...Deborah Harry and Chris Stein performed acoustically (YAWN). Other "true rock n roll" guests included Ciara, Taylor Momsen, model Jessica Hart, Lenny Kay of Patti Smith Group (he is one of the coolest guys ever), Kat DeLuna and Molly Simms. Les Paul was there, and that is damn cool.
