Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party was a party in the USA for everyone except the executives at NBC. Prior to the clock striking midnight on Miley Cyrus’ NYE bash with Pete Davidson, the pop singer experienced a wardrobe malfunction.

Drum Set Once Owned By Late KISS Drummer ERIC CARR Can Now Be Yours
A Ludwig 12-piece drum set made for and owned by late KISS drummer Eric Carr is being sold via Reverb. The set comes with a certificate of authenticity from the Eric Carr estate. In the Reverb listing, the seller of the Carr kit writes: “While I was playing in a KISS tribute band in 2005, my dream came true when I bought this kit from Paul Orofino, one of Eric‘s closest friends and the one who recorded Eric‘s audition demo tape for KISS.

[Laughs] “Three-fifths of EXODUS are conservatives and two-fifths are liberal, with one of them — me — being kind of a centrist; I’m kind of in the middle,” he continued. “And we’re still just brothers for life. “You don’t argue politics and religion with people you disagree with; that’s what they always say.
