Guess The Celebutard

Wow. We could barely recognize him!

Who is this fella????

[Image via Pacific Coast News Online.]

It's Tom Petty, leaving his concert at the Troubadour in Los Angeles this past weekend. At least he's still working! Petty has recently reformed his very first band, Mudcrutch, a group that broke up more than 30 years ago without ever recording an album.

HEY STUPID! It was Tom Petty that stood up to the record companies and fought
like hell to retain artistic control of his work. He also prefers to stay away from
"that sounds like my song" lawsuits when other artists start suing.
Oh, wait a minute…this is perez hilton. No doubt he's busy masturbating to the jonas brothers cd and doesn't even read these things.

I recognized him as Tom Petty. He can't hide that charisma underneath the hair and beard from one of his long time listeners.

Well, DUH!!! Of course, that's Tom Petty. I saw the show at the Troub 2 nights last week and it was fookin' amazing. Tom said he'd be doin Mudcrutch for awhile, they are having so much fun. AND making great music. Not only is TOM a superstar musician but that band has two of the premiere musicians in music today, the incomparable MIKE CAMPBELL and BENMONT TENCH! They alone are worth the price of admission. Don't miss them when they come ’round again!

Tom, You & I share a birthday. Makes me sad to see you sad. I have been singing your songs to my baby since he was born. For sure, my B'day bro,

the waiting is the hardest part.

Yep, thought it was Kate hudson's ex too.

OMG WHAT HAPPENED TO TOM PETTY!
Arlo says – reply to this

223

Celebutard? After decades in the biz still gives the fans more that their money's worth, went to battle against the record companies in the '80s to keep album prices down, is one of the most affable performers towards anyone he meets…

Oh I get it. Perez and his ilk base all that they deem worthy on looks instead of actual content, heart and talent. Keep sucking at the teat of celebrity pus like Paris Hilton and Lohan you hack.

Yeah, a real "Celebutard" :rollseyes:

I guessed it right!! I love Tom Petty and the Heartbrekers! 'Free Fallin!' That was the SHIT! (back in the day)
robin says – reply to this

225

Shame on you Perez! Tom Petty is HARDLY a celebutard! That name is reserved for losers like Spencer and Heidi NOT American legends like Tom Petty!! You don't get to work with greats like Roy Orbison and George Harrison if you are a "celebutard"! Please respect the foundations of rock and roll sweetie!

Wow, Tom Petty, i didnt even recognise him! That was a suprise for sure. For starters I thought he was blonde????????? Regardless I love you Tom! xxx
Diana says – reply to this

227

Celebutard? Oh please! He's a rock legend who just finished working his ass off to please a loyal crowd who KNOW what music is. The man gives all he has to his audience and is an INCREDIBLE performer. Back off. He's above this type of crap. Listen to the Mudcrutch album and you'll know why the shows all sold out. Petty's been rocking it out for 30+ years. He's the best!!!

Overly talented and still kicking ass. It's obviously Tom Petty.
TomPettyistheBEST says – reply to this

234

He has been instrumental in making rock what it is today - stick to what you know - like Madogga, Paris, Lindsey - don't even speak of Tom Petty because you are not worthy enough to. I have been to every concert in Philadelphia for the last 20 years that he has done - the BEST live show anyone will ever see. So just crawl back under your rock you Celebutard. How dare you call him that - you are a piece of Sh@t.

Here is a man who counted George Harrison as one of his best friends, performed with Bob Dylan individually and in the Traveling Wilburys, is in the freakin' Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, has penned more songs than you've heard in your entire life, is performing in the same Rock 'n Roll Band (Tom Petty & the Hearbreakers) for 30+ years, has reformed his original band and is out on tour with them (in addition to touring later this year with TP&TH), has had the integrity to stand up to big music companies, keeps his ticket prices down for the fans, and you've got the gall to call him a Celebutard? Only one word I can think of for you and your ilk - PATHETIC.

He is not a celebutard. He is a genius. So he doesn't look his best in this one picture? Why do you have to hate and call this incredible entertainer a tard? Cuz you couldn't score tickets to his EIGHT NITE SOLD OUT RUN at the Troubador?! Now, now, Perez… It's ok, mijito. Don't hate.
erin says – reply to this

263

Oh my God! He's human! Lets see, performing his ass off under hot stage lights for 2 hours straight and… Oh my God! he sweats! he's tired! Layoff the man, Perez. He's got more talent in his pinky than you have in your entire body. He's almost 60 years old and still put on a helluva show!

Beyonce SHINES At Revel! WERKS Single Ladies & Halo! Watch!!

Sparkle it up, gurl!! Let us see that seXXy shine!!

Still thrilled from Beyonce's intimate behind-the-scenes video, we're ready to DANCE after watching this Single Ladies performance!!

The crowd was WILD for Bey when she made her first stage debut since giving birth to beautiful Blue Ivy. And from the looks of this performance, she gave 'em their money's worth and then some!

But don't even get us started on Halo (below)! She even tributes Whitney Houston with
