Wayne and Todd talk football and rock and roll.

Last Sunday Todd took the train up to Manchester from London to see his good friends Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs as they battled Chelsea in a vital EPL match. Todd of course watched the game from the players box at Old Trafford where he saw an exciting finish to a hard fought game when Robin Van Persie notched the equalizer late in injury time.

“It was a fantastic match,” said Todd. “And it is always great to get up here to see Wayne and Ryan, although it is strange to see Ryan firmly entrenched on the sideline (Ryan Giggs is now an assistant and no longer a player) it is still a thrill to be here supporting them. Although I told Giggys he looks old in that track suit! You remember they made the trek to London to see the film last year, so it is fair to say we have each other’s backs.”

“Anytime Todd can make it up here he is welcome,” added Wayne Rooney. “He has been a big supporter of ours for years and it was only fair to do the same for him when the band was in London. And the film is smashing. Can’t wait until it is on cable.”

The game was a hard fought match in which United had to stage a very late comeback when many in stands felt all was lost. “United never gives up,” said Todd. “It is why I will always support them. You know they were not pleased with the draw,”

A laughing Giggs added ‘never satisfied with draw,no never, unless of course you are down one in the fourth minute of injury time, then you are most pleased!”

Todd laughed as they shared a pint in the players lounge. “Giggsy can always crack me up, said Todd. “Great guys and glad I was here for this one.”

John Eaton – Sun Studio, Memphis, TN

The FBI said Monday it was addressing allegations that online accounts of several celebrities, including Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence, Sports Illustrated Cover Girl Kate Upton and Skum lead guitarist John Eaton had been hacked, leading to the posting of their nude photographs online.

Eaton was alerted to the hackling late Sunday night as friends began calling him to alert him to the fact that some private photos were appearing on several websites along with photos of several other celebrities including Upton and Lawrence.

The agency did not say what actions it was taking to investigate who was responsible for posting naked photos of Lawrence, Upton, Eaton  and other stars. Apple said Monday it was looking into whether its online photo-sharing service had been hacked to obtain the intimate images.

Lawrence, a three-time Oscar nominee who won for her role in “Silver Linings Playbook,” contacted authorities after the images began appearing Sunday. It is unclear if Eaton and Lawrence spoke, although t was  reported the two have been in contact via e-mail.

“I reached out to both Kate and Jen to let them know not to worry about it too much. This stuff happens,” said John.

Naked images purporting to be of other female stars as well as Eaton were also posted, although the authenticity of many couldn’t be confirmed. The source of the leak was unclear.

“This is a flagrant violation of privacy,” Lawrence’s publicist Liz Mahoney wrote in a statement. “The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence.”

The alleged photos of John appear to show him  in varies stages of undress in a shower with two yet unnamed females and several shots of John in a hot tub at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, also in varies stages of undress as well as one holding what appears to be a shrimp cocktail in one hand.

Skum attorney Walter Bruning also threatened legal action against anyone posting any of the leaked photos. “We unequivocally deny these photos are of John.  However, if any of these photos are posted, the offending websites will be getting a cease and desist letter from me as well as a seven figure lawsuit.”

“This happens all the time,” said John. “These people have nothing better to do than get into our phones and hack photos. Get a life guys.”

The FBI said it was “aware of the allegations concerning computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high profile individuals, and is addressing the matter.”

“Any further comment would be inappropriate at this time,” spokeswoman Laura Eimiller wrote in a statement.
