 November  26TH, 2007 - Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea
has lost his home in the latest fires to hit Los Angeles.

The rocker's $5 million French-style mansion was burned down in the wildfires that began on Saturday, the second series of blazes to hit the region in less than a month.

Flea--real name Michael Balzary -confirmed the loss by sending local newspaper the Los Angeles Times a text message saying his home had "burnt to a crisp."

Following the weekend's fires, California Governor Arnold Schwarznegger
 has reactivated the state of emergency he declared last month and vowed to make aid available to those affected by the infernos

Big Fight

 

The Killers are picking fights with everybody

Since going platinum, the band (and principally vocalist and keyboardist Brandon Flowers) has incited a few rivalries - most notably with The Bravery and Fall Out Boy, who are both labelmates (Island Records). Flowers has said that these bands, especially The Bravery, are riding on the coattails of the success of The Killers. Additionally, in an article of NME, Flowers claimed Fall Out Boy was hogging the A&R man both bands share, setting off Fall Out Boy's bassist Pete Wentz. However, after Wentz made a couple of rants on his blog in September of 2005, he offered a virtual cease-fire. Flowers has since apologized to The Bravery, Fall Out Boy, and Panic! at the Disco, saying "I'd like to take it all back - these people are just doing what they want to do, just like I am," and said that he was "not proud of" his occasional jealousy.
