Fiat finally figured out how to capitalize on Charlie Sheen’s bad boy image! After self-destructing antics got him killed off from “Two and a Half Men”, & with a new sitcom “Anger Management” set to debut June 28 on FX, Charlie’s now starring in a car spot that takes full advantage of his reputation. Fiat’s new 500 Abarth hatchback is the bad boy of its showroom lineup, & the logical pitchman, Charlie Sheen. A commercial shows the compact Abarth speeding perilously around an opulent mansion during a party filled with beautiful women, and despite burning rubber & echoing screeches, the guests seem unfazed, even cheering on the driver who’s seemingly disrupting their party. At the end, Sheen steps out to applause, location-monitoring bracelet visibly on his ankle and a gorgeous woman by his side, stating “I love being under house arrest, What do I get for good behavior?”

Another phenomenal Jimmy Fallon impression of Neil Young singing LMFAO’s “Sexy And I Know It” as an acoustic ballad, and having Bruce Springsteen duet with harmonies and backing vocals!

PJ THE DJ AND CHARLIE “LUNA” HIGH FIVE EACH OTHER IN THE MOON-FM RADIO STUDIO!
Just over a year ago, I received a call out of the blue from Steve Syatt, creator of “Shushybye”, and “The Dreamsters”, two TV shows for toddlers & pre-schoolers. Steve invited me to join the cast as a DJ on the Dreamsters/Shushybye radio station, MOON-FM, as Charlie Luna, (Luna = MOON…see the connection:). It was a part Steve wrote with me in mind, & has been a fun ride as the shows have been in development! One of the other draws was Steve’s line-up of stars he had recruited to sing the show’s songs he also wrote & created! One of those stars who finished a song just last year for the show was Davy Jones! Steve & I just talked this Friday about his time he spent with Davy & friend Ron Dante (The Archies – “Sugar Sugar”) who had introduced Steve & Davy, and how Steve was struck by just how nice, accommodating & gracious Davy was, the same impression I had from my studio interview time with Davy 25 years ago! Steve presented Davy a number of song options he had written to pick from, and the result was the song “There’s A Star”, Davy recorded for the “Shushybye” series launch in May on BabyFirst TV, A DirecTV network! Pictured at Davy Jones recording session in Las Vegas are from left to right, Ron Dante of The Archies & “Sugar Sugar” fame, Johnny J. Blair-member of Davy Jones band, Davy Jones, Singer Steve Lawrence-also part of the the “Shushybye” singing line-up, and Steve Syatt-Creator, Producer & Songwriter for “Shushybye”!

Micky Dolenz of the Monkees sat down with “Good Morning America” this week to share memories & stories about his longtime friendship with Monkees band mate, Davy Jones! Micky talks about everything from what the two of them shared as a common professional background, to the house they shared together in the beginning, both of their families times together over the many years, to the news of what may have contributed to Davy’s sudden heart attack from his family’s genetic history.
