In April, the reunited Guns N’ Roses are playing six shows, two in Las Vegas, two in Mexico, and two at Coachella. A full-blown tour may be in the works — when a fan bumped into Axl into Atlanta, the hard-partying singer allegedly said, “We’re gonna do a whole tour” — but nothing has been announced yet. Besides, Axl doesn’t have the time to see if he can still threaten to fight Bob Guccione, Jr. at Spin — he’s too busy reportedly auditioning for AC/DC.
On his radio show, Atlanta-based DJ Jason Bailey said a “very, very good source” told him “Axl was meeting with [AC/DC].” It’s “all but a done deal that Axl will front AC/DC for the 10 remaining shows” on their tour, after doctors advised Brian Johnson to stop performing live, or risk “total hearing loss.”
“From what I was told, this was all kind of new inside information to me, Angus is a very black and white guy. He’s like, Brian, for health reasons, can’t continue fronting the band. He was supposed to retire after the last tour, so they wanted to continue going out on the road and continue making music, so if you can’t do it, we appreciate your services, but the show must go on. They’re in town, they were auditioning people for the job, and then they flew Axl in, again, this is from my source.”
If Axl Rose gets a hall pass to cheat on Guns N’ Roses with AC/DC, it’s only fair that Slash is allowed to do the same with Aerosmith. Duff McKagan’s been sleeping with Loaded for years, but no one seems to notice

Pauley Perrette, who performs scientist Abby Sciuto on "NCIS," says a "psychotic homeless man" punched her in the face Thursday night time and vowed he would kill her.
Perrette says she was strolling from her Hollywood dwelling to a visitor home she owned when the man appeared, repeatedly threatening to kill her
It is a weird story. Perrette says she informed the man, who referred to as himself William, that he had a "stunning title" however he simply punched her once more.
She says, "I went into shock ... collapsed on the sidewalk." She says cops got here, she drew a "police sketch" of the man, who was "headed in direction of Hollywood Blvd with homicide in his eyes." Perrette says cops arrested him.
Now it will get actually bizarre. Perrette tweeted, "I'm shaken and traumatized. My home, my beloved Hollywood. My beloved homeless people who I spend my life defending ... My life changed tonight."
She ends by writing, "We have to not stroll alone. I have to heal. I virtually died tonight."
Perrette stated the attacker recognized himself as William, which prompted her to say “William is a lovely identify, I've a nephew named William.” Police mentioned this assertion saved her from frequently being assaulted.
After the assault, the actress says she collapsed on the street in shock of what occurred.
“I texted my pal and my buddy cop,” Perrette added. “I instantly drew a police sketch of the man who was headed in the direction of Hollywood Boulevard with homicide in his eyes.”
Perrette added she noticed a person strolling his canine close by, however he didn't cease to assist her following the assault.

“I simply saved going at that time as a result of I simply assumed it was one other homeless particular person on the market,” Williamson stated. “I ought to have gone again and mentioned, ‘What’s occurring?’ I simply made my very own assumption.”
Police mentioned Perrette’s buddy tracked down the suspect, David Merck, at a 7-Eleven comfort retailer positioned on Cahuenga Boulevard at Yucca Road.
The actress positively recognized Merck as her attacker. He was subsequently taken into custody on suspicion of creating criminal threats and felony assault.
SPOILERS, ETCETERA, for season five of Game of Thrones
Honestly if you’re not caught up on season five of Game of Thrones at this point, you should probably just turn off the internet until you’re done watching all of the episodes, because I can barely figure out not how to write a damn headline that doesn’t give everything away without just saying [REDACTED] was seen [REDACTED] in [REDACTED].
Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, despite how much the Game of Thrones showrunners object and how its been hinted that he might come back as a warg, everything else is telling us that Jon Snow is still alive — from Kit Harington’s hairstyle to this location theory. And now fueling rumors, a reader of Watchers on the Wall spotted Harington on a flight from London to Belfast on Monday night. As in, the Belfast where Game of Thrones is currently filming.
This isn’t the first time Harington has been spotted in Belfast this year, as this is at least his third trip since pre-production started. Watchers on the Wall notes that, if he was just filming a funeral scene, there would probably be no need for this many visits. Harington has also allegedly been refusing photo ops with fans.
Last but not least, there was also this nugget:
For those of you deeply invested in #HairWatch, Harington was sporting a man-bun.
MAN-BUN. Guy doesn’t just go man-bunning around unless he’s got something to hide. This has been your continuing coverage of SNOWWATCH 2015, or, as we also like to refer to it as, “Kit Harington’s Personal Hell.”
Finally, Photographic Evidence that Kit Harington Has Joined the Cast of Game of Thrones in Belfast
Yesterday we posted a round-up of all the Game of Thrones actors who had been sighted in Belfast for the Season 6 script read-throughs. They included Emilia Clarke, Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner, and many more. But while there were rumors that Kit Harington had been spotted in the Game of Thrones home base in Northern Ireland, there was no proof yet. All that changed today when Watchers on the Wall, a site dedicated to all things Game of Thrones, posted photos of Harington arriving in the Belfast airport. The return of Jon Snow is turning into the worst-kept secret in TV history.
You can see another image of Harington’s arrival over on WoW that focuses on the actor’s on-trend man bun. Rest assured, these are taken in the Belfast airport—see this photo for comparison. And, despite the beard partially obstructing his face, that is Kit. He was seen with the same leather suitcase just a few days ago. We’re relieved to see him reunited with his Game of Thrones crew and we’re even more relieved to see his luscious, Stark-ish locks intact—even if they are tucked up into a man bun.
Does a Harington sighting in Belfast guarantee Jon Snow will return in any shape or form other than a stone-cold corpse? No, I suppose not. Charles Dance also spent some time filming in Belfast last year and all we got from Tywin in Season 5 were those crazy rock eyes.
But given all the other evidence mounting including casting news and exciting filming locations, well, the case for Jon Snow surviving the mutiny at the Wall grows stronger every day.
