The Toronto Star has a quote from Alice about the World Cup and how it's effecting shows: ""My shows are now battling the World Cup, so I imagine only the true fans will show up. I guess if it were my team playing, I'd probably go watch the game on TV somewhere too. This is bigger than the Super Bowl. It's not just one city, it seems like when the games come on, everything else in the entire country stops."

There's a German review over at RP-online.

Alice Cooper will apprently show up on 'Top 20 Rock Deaths' starting: 21:00 on Friday on the Kerrang! channel (this could be a repeat).

TodayFM in Ireland have announce they will be running an Alice Cooper radio show starting Saturday June 10th. The show will be three hours long, 6-9pm, but no mention of whether this is clips taken from 'Nights With Alice Cooper', which is likely, or original content. They have a netfeed.
(Thanks Nea)

The Mississippi Sun Herald has a short review of the Montreux DVD.

The Independent has an article about 'pop's 50 most liberal lyrics' which includes a quote from Alice: "My favourite protest/liberal pop song is 'The Times They Are A-Changin'' by Bob Dylan. Dylan had such authority that when he said something, he really made it stick and people listened. He's the true poet laureate of America. 'Eve of Destruction', recorded by Barry McGuire, is also a great song but I can never decide if it's meant to be a comedy or not, although now it sounds pretty humourous. I hate protest songs that are one-sided and shallow - in fact there's a couple out now, although I won't mention any names - that I loathe."

The band's singer, Oderous Urungus, had this to say: "...for the first time in GWAR history, we have covered someone else's music! But not just anybody! Nobody less than Alice Cooper, who is rumored to be a Scumdog himself! Gwar pays homage to the original master of shock rock, with a bone-crushing version of his most famous song — that's right, Gwar has covered 'School's Out'."

Ex-Alice Cooper guitarist Pete Friesen will be back on tour with The Almighty in December. Check out the dates here.

Canadian fans should check at Dominion and A&P grocery stores for the newest addition to their line of "Chantilly Lace Teddy Bears".  It's called their Graduation Bear, simply looks like a regular teddy with a grad cap on his head and a 2006 sash across his body, but the magic comes when you push his paw when you will hear the original ACG recording of 'School's Out'.  And on the tag it simple says "School's Out  (Bruce, Cooper), 1972". There was a similar item a few years ago but it was a hamster!

The BBC and other sources are reporting that Alice Cooper is confirmed to take part in the 'All Star Cup', a celebrity golf event organised by TV stars 'Ant and Dec' at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, South Wales. The event pits Hollywood A-listers against a team of famous Europeans over the August bank holiday weekend. Apparently members of the royal family have been approached to appear as well. Quote: "Ant and Dec, who will be hosting live coverage of the tournament for ITV1, said they were still in the early stages of putting the teams together but that experienced golfer Alice Cooper was "very excited" about it."

Alice can been seen in a new television commercial for the 'Hall of Frames' stores in Phoenix. Apparentlly it all came about through Cooper's friendship with Jay Kogan, president of the locally owned firm. Reports AZCentral: "They were talking at Alice Cooper'stown, the rocker's Phoenix restaurant, about television and Cooper volunteered to be in the commercial. But the trick was to get it all done that day because he was leaving town. Kogan called some friends in the industry and found some others in the Yellow Pages and put together a crew fast enough to do the commercial in one day. "We've gotten a lot of recognition with Alice Cooper being in these spots," Kogan said."

Bill Crowe has excelled himself again with about 200 amazing photos of the Sheffield gig online now at AliceCooperPics.
