Fun With Words

Vegas Guest List: Melanie Treece + 1, Elizabeth Boggia + 1

"Dave Navarro, who became one of alternative rock's first guitar heroes with such notorious bands as Jane's Addiction and The Red Hot Chili Peppers, made a celebrity appearance at Primal Nightclub in Atlanta on New Year's Eve. Club co-owner, Greg Hicks had terse words with the uncooperative rock star who tried to avoid taking photos with fans at the club. The star did sign some of the the hard rock style venue's guitars before jetting over to the new W Hotel Midtown shortly after midnight. The star strangled a bottle of scotch while flirting with dozens of girls in the Hotel's Whiskey Park Bar which is owned by celebrity club owner, Randy Gerber. Not surprisingly, Navarro left the party with 3 girls, just as he did during his 2007 appearance at another Atlanta nightclub."

You gotta love the press. No need for the facts anymore, just write it and it comes across as fact. While I WAS at Primal for NYE, there were no terse words or avoiding anything. Took lots of pictures and had a great time. Now. This whole "strangling a bottle of scotch" thing isn't even a misunderstanding or an exaggeration. It's simply untrue. We all know how I am and if I was to get loaded, ever... It would be drugs and syringes and blood and horror with me locked in a bathroom somewhere. Not SCOTCH!!!! As for the dozens of girls I flirted with? I wouldn't say DOZENS! HAHA. In fact, I was with my date, hand in hand, the entire night. We didn't leave with three girls... And this whole leaving with three girls back in 2007? Well... Yeah... OK, maybe they got me there! As much as this kind of reporting does wonders for the myth and legend... I must admit, it sounds kinda good... The truth is that me and my date went back to the hotel bar for a while and then watched Saw V on pay per view in the room. Not right away, of course! ;) (Yup, that's right... I used a winky! What? What?)

I don't know how in the hell I missed the whole L.V. strap post last June (perhaps something to do with work, 5 buck gas prices, soaring rent, (I moved) or just trying to work..) but anyhow, I just read it, and it is NO mistake that L.V. sent you a gorgeous 1, Dave!!
Exhibit A :

Sure I have enjoyed the LV brand for years and years. I own many items such as luggage, belts, wallets, boots and clothing that bear the LV name. Hell, my gym bag is even a LV bag. So they make great stuff. No Doubt. Is it great enough to elevate the status of Jane's Addiction? I mean, are they fucking kidding me? Has anybody EVER purchased a concert ticket or an album based on what is hanging around the guitar player's neck? Ever?

Brilliant!!!

Just loved to read ya, hun!!

hugs,
clk

My my my Dave....

Yeah, have read you enough to know you don't like to drink like that!

So, any plans to come to the Pittsburgh Area? February 2007 seems so distant....

Have you run across other contestants from Rock of Love? Wondered if you have met Megan and your take on her....

Keep rocking and loving!

Always,
me

Next time I see you, they better introduce you only as, "Dave Navarro, the man, the myth, the LEGEND".

hahahahaha....asshats.

Why is it in these gossip articles they always try and paint you as this stand off-ish snob with "fans" and total misogynistic pig when your quite the opposite?

Dave,

Just wanted to let you know that, regrettably, I won't be able to make it Friday night. Please invite someone else. I can't believe that I'm actually saying this, but I have more important things to do this weekend than hang out in Vegas with you and a bunch of porn stars. (Please... kill me... now.)

Anyway, I wanted to be sure you'd see this, so I commented on both of your last 2 posts. Congratulations to the other winners!

Regards,
Andy Cianciotto

You gotta love the tabloid crap...
If you threw down a bottle of scotch the odds would be that you would be getting your stomach pumped at some close by hospital.
Plus we know you Dave....
The leaving with 3 chicks however I could believe....bahaha
Either way who cares, If you had a great time on New Years Eve thats all that matters... We made it through yet another year.. thats what counts and that you are still here to tell us that the journos are full of shit....
Also just wanted to say to all hope you have a great and prosperous new year.... Live well, Love Much and eat heaps...hahaha
Love and Stuff S.. xx

Oh poo Andy that stinks you can't go. But I was kind of secretly wishing you couldn't. I would gladly take your spot if, Dave, you'd be so obliged.


Elizabeth Boggia

!!!!!!!!!!! eejits. (irish for idiots, ask Dan!)
Good job you have a sense of humour! Somehow get the vibe from years gone by that if you fall off the wagon it will be full blown self destruction with needles. That article is kinda funny though.
You look gorgeous in that pic with the signed guitar and pretty blonde. DN, um, do you always date blondes?! x.x.x

I guess this can be a second answer to my question that I asked you earlier; "What's one of the wildest rumors you have heard about yourself?" The press really does always try to present you as a womanizing jerk, etc. When honestly you do seem like a generally nice guy... I have to tell my mom that all the time haha. The press doing anything for a story, "strangling a bottle of scotch," I have to use that sometime.

Aww how cute you said winky.... embrace the smiley nation :p. And Margaret or Yoli, I did catch the Charm School Reunion show and good for Sharon! My brother and I love her, I found that it contradicted everything about the show because the whole part of the show was to teach "the girls" how to behave like ladies and to control themselves, but at the end, I didn't even care because Megan deserved every bit of it. I actually wished more would have happened to her but oh well... she'll get what she puts out. Using your body and looks and her ways of manipulating people will only get her so far in life and she'll have to learn that the hard way or another. However, Sharon said it best... "Megan is still a bitch down here." haha

Ahh... I should be ashamed of myself for watching all those Vh1 shows.... they're so bad that it's good but I can make an exception for shows like Celebrity Rehab and Sober House.... miss Danny Bonaduce though... huh?


Much Love and Respect,
-Kirsten

Haha! Dave you're the MAN!
Thanks for making me laugh! ;)
