Rotten wants Iraqi fans


Former Sex Pistols frontman Johnny Rotten wants to perform to the people of Iraq, despite fearing they could stone him to death.

The hellraiser planned to fly to Iraq last year in a bid to bring unite the war-torn nation - but abandoned the plan when the US government refused permission to perform for Iraqi citizens.

But Rotten, real name John Lydon, is furious at the suggestion Iraqis be denied a Sex Pistol extravaganza.

He says: "That f**king war in Iraq, I mean it's scandalous.

"I offered to take the Sex Pistols to Iraq last year. The American government stepped in and that and went nuts. They tried to curtail it into just playing for the troops.

"I said I'd play for soldiers on air bases or military bases in their own country. To do that in Iraq you are literally creating the atmosphere of an invasion force and denying the Iraqis any access to you and I think that's an ugly, ugly scenario.

"I know they might hate me and stone me to death, but at least they have the choice." breakingnews

Justin Rotten Timberlake


Punk star Johnny Rotten is in talks with Justin Timberlake to play him in an upcoming movie of his life. The former Sex Pistol, real name John Lydon, has revealed he thinks the pop heartthrob would be perfect for the film, based on Johnny's autobiography, 'Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs'.

He explained: "I want Jason (sic) Timberlake to do it.

I know it sounds odd and the market he comes from is screaming teen girls, but he's just the kind of bloke who would really, really make an effort.
"He'd be a workhorse about it.

" He added in an interview with Britain's Q magazine: "Discussions are in progress.




" If Justin doesn't do the movie, the legendary rocker has also set his sights on 'Trainspotting' star Robert Carlyle or Hollywood actor Johnny Depp Johnny added: "Timberlake or Robert Carlyle Or Johnny Depp, who's a great mate He might do it Or me I might!" femalefirst
