Aug. 31st, 2001 Some sad news to report. Seems the divorce rumors are true for Heidi and Vince. I'm bummed to hear this, cause Heidi is such an awesome lady. Motley Crue's Singer to Get Divorce - The Associated Press -Aug 31 2001 1:56PM LOS ANGELES (AP) - The wife of Motley Crue singer Vince Neil has filed for divorce after 15 months of marriage. Former Playboy Playmate Heidi Mark cited irreconcilable differences in her Superior Court divorce petition. There were no other details on the one-page, fill-in-the-blanks form filed Wednesday with the court. Mark's attorney, David Karton, didn't return telephone messages left Thursday. The couple was married May 28, 2000. In the band's autobiography ``The Dirt'' released earlier this year, the 40-year-old Neil described the decadence of their early days when they played clubs like the Whisky a Go-Go. ``Every night after we played the Whisky, half the crowd would come back to our house and drink and do blow, smack, Percodan, Quaaludes and whatever else we could get for free,'' he wrote.
Aug. 27th, 2001 Report from a fan about the Jamie Hunting leaving / firing from Vince's solo tour: SOURCE: Tom Feaser- fan at the Reading , Pa show at The Silo "Lisa, just wanted to let you in a few news items.......I went and saw Vince Neil last night what, what a great show. How ever some strange things went on at the show. First Stephen Pearcy from Ratt Falls and breaks 3 ribs so they didnt perform. After a great opening of kick start MY HEART Vince tells the crowd that CRUE has not broken up ( thank GOD for that ). Then after 7 or 8 songs Vince says good night and walks off stage where he and the bass player start arguing they come back out do a few more songs and end the show early 7 songs early according to Brent Woods whom I spoke to after the show for about 20 mins. along with the drummer. Apparently Vince wasnt happy with the perfomance of the bass player so he went back stage to tell him to get his act together or get out he said fine lets just finish the show they tried to Vince got pissed because he was messing up to many times so they ended the show early. When we were leaving the club there were cops in and around Vinces bus they escorted the bass player out he signed some autographs one for me and got in a black picup truck and drove off. We waited about an hour and a half but Vince didnt sign any autographs and the Bus pulled out. So there is some news for you."
Also, a good friend of mine, and fellow Cruehead, sent me this link, check it out, it's pretty funny!

July 17, 2001 Finally, some good news to report. Here's a recent press release statement about Randy Castillo's current health situation, along with some sample pix that were taken last month. story credit: Lisa D. Schmaljohn/ All photo credits: Andrew Orth (Orthpix@earthlink.net)
"My best investment is my imagination, because it has never failed to bring me my greatest return! "- Randy Castillo They say you can't keep a good man down, but what do they say about a great man? That would describe Randy Castillo. Not just simply for his musical abilities, (playing drums for the likes of Lita Ford, Ozzy Osbourne, and most recently with Motley Crue), but more for his ability to overcome a formitable foe, cancer. Shortly
after Randy completed cutting his drum tracks for Motley Crue's
"New Tattoo" album in June 2000, he suffered a ruptured
stomach ulcer. Randy had to undergo emergency surgery, which prevented
him from going out on tour with Motley Crue to Two months after recovering from stomach surgery, Randy was diagnosed with cancer, and had to have surgery to remove it. Randy then had to undergo extensive chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Today, Randy Castillo stands as a
triumphant conqueror. He has beaten the odds through science, faith, and
a bad ass attitude. Randy's medical ordeals have given him a new outlook
on life. He is in great health and spirits, and is ready to take his
place behind the drum set to do what he does best. Randy is currently
gearing up for a Fall world tour, with a band to be announced in the Randy is a role model to both aspiring musicians and cancer survivors alike. He is a man who went through hell, and came back even better. ~Lisa D. Schmaljohn
June 17th, 2001 Happy Father's Day! Unfortunately, I have nothing but bad, sad news to report today. This first part was posted on the AOL Motley Crue message board by Nikki Sixx to his wife. (Please note: this post has not yet been 100% verified to be from Nikki, put I am pretty sure it is) Dear God, its me and I have a story to tell you, its not like you weren't watching me but this confession need not be so private... What I'm about to say seems like a nightmare, but in fact it's more like a horror film that won't stop running through me and my wife's head...... this last summer, I was on tour and under more stress than I ever been in my life. Everything seemed to be on a hot button all of a sudden. The years and years of the pressure plate had finally built to a boiling point inside me.(( too many to list right now.....)) I had started to hide behind sleeping pills to mask my anxiety at night and was dabbling in drinking even though I knew it was wrong (( an event I shared only with my wife from time to time..)).... Now here's the beginning of the sick part of the story....My wife who was pregnant at the time sat home and took care of my three children and her son and at the same time kept our home together and organized. As she did this I began my slide into lies and secrecy on the road, something I don't do well and have never done to Donna since our marriage 5 years ago. Of course, I came home a complete fucking wreck...detached....depressed and unable to enjoy Donna's pregnancy or be there as a father, friend or husband. So a time that should have been shrouded in celebration was veiled in confrontations and disappointments...We were at an all time low considering it should have been the happiest time of our life..I now know in coming thru the other side how alone, how sad and how confused that must have made Donna feel. But God, at this point of my confession is where I become asshole of the year.... After years of talking about having a baby together the wonderful day finally came....only to be a bittersweet entry into the world for our sweet little daughter..I finally lost all sanity and control of my mind.... and I moved out of our home(two weeks after Donna gave birth)....I cant understand this..nor can I explain this..I can only regret this..But,quicker than I expected I started a decent into drugs and drinking and hanging out with low lifes and sluts. Of course the hangers on were all of a sudden saying they were my friends,when my true best friend((my wife)) laid at home with our new daughter recovering from a c-section alone..........at some point I came out of my haze of self pity, and saw what I had lost and the damage I had done. I had broken up my family, I had confused my kids,and I had hung out and cheated on my wife with pigs and whores who weren't worthy of licking the bottom of her shoes. In coming to terms with my insanity I needed to tell Donna of my wrong doings...and the TRUTH. First,so nobody thinks she doesn't know...cause shes not a fool... Second out of respect for her and my kids. I want her to be able to hold her head up with dignity rather than humiliation. Third in hope for a clean slate and her forgiveness........ I know you were watching, now I hope you're listening.....I'm not speaking to you God, but to my wife..when I say I'm sorry and I regret every moment I wasn't with you, I mean it from the core of my soul. I can't believe I did what I did to you. First I lost my dignity, then I took hers away, then I lost my family. Donna, I hope you are willing to forgive me and we can watch our kids grow up together as one. Donna, you know I love you more than life itself....and I am sorry for how I have disrespected you in front of God and the all the world. forever in love....through thick and thin your husband.. Nikki
Wow, it takes a big man to lay it on the line like that in public. I hope Nikki and Donna make it through this. The truth can be painful, but it's better then living with a lie. Now, some more bad news, God, this really is tragic: Boy Drowns at Tommy Lee's House .c The Associated Press MALIBU, Calif. (AP) - A 4-year-old boy drowned while at a birthday party at the home of rock musician Tommy Lee. The boy was one of several children attending the party on Saturday at the former Motley Crue drummer's Malibu home, said Los Angeles Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Brenda Cambra. ``The children were swimming in the pool when the victim was found floating face down in the shallow end,'' she said. Two adults pulled him from the water and began CPR and Lee called 911. Paramedics transported the boy to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Cambra, who said the child was not Lee's son, said authorities were investigating it as an accidental drowning. Police did not release the name of the child. My thoughts go out to the family of this little boy. : (
June 14th, 2001 Vince Neil will be appearing on the FX Network's show called "The Test", starring Jillian Barberie on Friday June 15th. The show acts different celebrities personal questions about their personalities. Friday night's test will be about "Sex Fiends!" Somehow, I think Vince will be in the highest catagory.

June 7th, 2001 Here is the latest post by Nikki on the AOL Motley Crue message board: I'll be coming home today. I'm here in NYC for the unveiling of the JVC billboard in times square featuring myself and Shaun Palmer. we did all the press involved ((cnn,mtv,vh-1,espn,etc etc)).it was a nice turn of events that the book hit the n y times best seller list at the same time.....good tie in for all involved.saw danos mom at the ESPN building kick off....i didn't know she liked little Japanese men so much, if i had know we would've brought the whole JVC company for her...i think she hit her limit at about 40 gallons....sorta like a big gulp sushi shake...

March 26th, 2001 A sad day of rememberence. Today would have been Skylar Neil's (Vince Neil's daughter) 10th birthday. I would like to send out my heart felt sympathy to her family and loved ones on this day, as well as to all the families who have lost someone special to them. Our thoughts are with you.
March 16th, 2001 Sorry I haven't been updating lately, been extremely busy! Ok, so on with the latest Crued news! It looks like the book we've all been waiting for will finally be coming out on May 22nd, as last stated. The autobiographical story of Motley Crue called "The Dirt" is suppose to be a "no holds barred" tell-all aboutthe band over their wild career. Nikki mentioned that a possible re-make of "Hollywood Ending" may be included with the book. He also mentioned that he might sign the first 500 copies for the die-hard Crueheads, right on! Race car driver Jim Epler's funny car will display Motley Crue colors and designs for 3 races this season. The Camaro Z28 will proudly be known as the "Motley Crue-zer" at the Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fl, and at 2 other races this season.
March 5th, 2001 Nikki Sixx was recently in Las Vegas to unveil his *Outlaw Girl* clothing line, which should be available on the web at www.outlaw69.com very soon. He also says that Crue is NOT breaking up, despite recent rumors! He's also been busy working on music with the Foo Fighters, Santana, Meatloaf, and The Donnas. He's also been spending some time with his estranged wife Donna, but they are still seperated at this time. I hope things work out for those two crazy kids. Good luck. Vince Neil will be doing some solo dates this year. Brent Woods, Vince's long time friend, will be part of the band. Other members of the band have not yet been named. Here are the first confirmed dates: April 19th- Witchata, KS @ Rita's April 20th- Columbia, MO @ The Biggest Bar April 21st- Kansas City, MO @ The Beaumont Club April 30th- Louisville, KY @ Belvedere Park
Feb. 23, 2001 Check out my version of Prince's classic "Darling Nikki", which I changed to "Darling Nikki Sixx", free download HERE, then tell me what ya think! Feb. 20th, 2001 Check out a recent interview with Mrs. Neil Vince herself, Heidi Mark, on the "Steppin Out" website! There are alot of rumors flying around about the future of Motley Crue. Although some of the rumors seem to be coming from crediable sources, I have heard no concrete statements about ANY of these rumors being true. Until I heard or read a statement from the band, I won't beleive it!
Feb. 8th, 2001 Here is the latest statement directly from Nikki's diary about his seperation from his wife Donna its a sad day for me to tell you that me and my lovely wife have decided to take a break from our relationship for awhile. . i still consider her my best friend in the whole world and love and adore her and our children to death,but sometimes people need to take time away to grow. my dream is for us to have a happy healthy future and to watch our amazing children grow. this isn't the type of thing that is easy to go threw in public so,we'll try to keep it too ourselves. thanks for your love and support.... nikki & donna I hope they will work things out very soon, and be together forever.
Feb. 7th, 2001 Sad news to report, I found this on the E! Entertainment page, pray it isn't true Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx and former Baywatch babe Donna D'Errico have separated after four years of marriage, her publicist confirmed February 7. The split comes just weeks after the January 2 birth of their daughter, Frankie Jean Sixx. The publicist says there has been no mention of divorce and the separation is as "amicable as can possibly be to the extent of any separation." The couple married December 23, 1996. Now, I personally am taking this info with a grain of salt, until Nikki gives a public statement on the matter. I hope it's not true, and if it is, I pray they work things out.
Jan. 21st, 2001 I was lucky enough to BEG Nikki to join us in an chatroom a few days ago. He mustly watched us, but did say this much: "motley on break till......2002..." Darn it! So it looks like it'll be at least a yeat till we get more new Crue! Expect the Crue autobiographical book called " The Dirt" to come out in early Spring of 2001. After that , it looks like a dry spell. Hey, when are they ever gonna release "This Shit Ain't Brain Surgery" on DVD????????? Jan. 20th, 2001 Latest news on Randy Castillo's health.

My
wife and I attended the Mass tattoo festival all 4 days. We flew up from
Fla. We saw and had our copy of The Dirt autographed by Nikki and had
the autographed pictures of them in which they were endorsing JVC. We
had a great time, got lots of pics, but............. the tattoo festival
was in Worcester Mass, not Boston. the pic I've included shows the
bandages on Nikki's wrist where he had the names put on.
HEY
THERE! HERE IS THE NEW TATTOO I GOT ON MY LOWER BACK WHILE AT THE TATTOO
FESTIVAL IN BOSTON RECENTLY. IT WAS DONE BY AN ARTIST VISITING FROM
JAPAN NAMED MIYAZO. I DESIGNED IT, AND THE KANJI INCORPORATED IN THE
DESIGN MEANS "ENDURE". I ALSO GOT FRANKIE-JEAN'S NAME IN
ANCIENT CHINESE MANUSCRIPT TATTOOED TO THE LOWER INSIDE OF MY RIGHT
HIPBONE.
