Heather. Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 What I find most interesting is that someone officially said "He is not using Twitter" like it's part of his rehab or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

November's Storms Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 It probably can't be considered "news" but I've just heard that the word "hysteria" comes from the Greek for uterus. Makes American Eulogy a lot funnier now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stories and songs Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I wish I knew they were sending him a photo book, I definitely would've contributed! I'm glad that he received it and enjoyed it, though. That was a really sweet idea. I too find it bizarre that there was such an official-sounding statement that Billie isn't using Twitter anymore. I didn't know we needed official confirmation regarding his choice of social media! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 What I find most interesting is that someone officially said "He is not using Twitter" like it's part of his rehab or something. Nah, I think he just lost interest in it ages ago and then started using Instagram instead. I can't see how not using Twitter could possibly be part of his rehab when he's using Instagram which is practically the same thing. I think they just wanted to save fans the hassle of trying to tweet him etc when they know he doesn't use it any more and happened to write it in a slightly abrupt sounding way.

The Grohl Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 It wouldn't surprise me if he just got tired of it. Twitter can be tedious and dumb a lot! I think it's mainly good for updates from bands and stuff...plus they usually posts fun pictures there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film is written and directed by Judd Apatow who is also behind such hits as Knocked Up and The 40 Year Old Virgin. The actor was speaking to Newsbeat's Natalie Jamieson.

This list had a lot of really great people! (A lot of sucky people too! ) I was pretty surprised to see Biffy Clyro! Billie is included in AP magazine's Punks on Film list http://www.altpress.com/features/entry/list_punks_on_film_10_musician_movie_appearances God, that scene is hilarious. Too bad it was cut. They cut a lot of really good scenes from that movie. Was still a great movie though!
