Do you keep up with Kardashians?
Turns out that Michael Buble isn't the only one irked with Kim Kardashian. One Colorado woman has seen quite enough of the entire family, and she has started a petition to do something about it.
“It’s not per se the Kardashians themselves, it’s the show itself. It’s the value of the show and what it portrays,” Cyndy Snider told CBS4 Denver.
Snider plans to send the petition (fittingly titled "No More Kardashian") to E! Entertainment Television, creator of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and three spin-offs, in hopes that the abundance of concerned citizens will ignite a change in the network's programming.
It seems like it would be enough to simply pick up the remote and change the channel instead, but Snider complains that the Kardashian family is too ubiquitous to escape.
And they are. The family is featured on television shows and news, grocery store magazine covers and roadside billboards, endorsing products from alcohol to (there's no way those things work and you look terrible wearing them) Sketchers Shape-Ups.
Another group has formed in conjunction with the petition: BoycottKim.com, which brings to light the embarrassing degree to which Kim Kardashian has infiltrated American society.
At the time of writing, the petition had reached almost 150,000 signatures. Compare that to the 3.9 million viewers of Keeping Up with the Kardashians on a Monday night in October, a few weeks before Kim Kardashian served papers to 72-day-hubby Kris Humphries.
Do you think this outcry is enough to make E! listen? Would Americans still be obsessed with the family even if the reality show were canceled?
Legendary rockers Styx and Kevin Cronin, lead singer of REO Speedwagon, will team up to co-headline the “Brotherhood of Rock” tour in 2025, which will include a stop at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands on Friday, June 6.
The large, 40-city tour will take place over three months, starting in Greenville, South Carolina on May 28, and wrapping up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on August 24.
In addition to Houston, the tour will go to Austin on June 4 and Dallas on August 1. It will include special guest Don Felder, former lead guitarist for the Eagles, at all dates.
Fans can expect some of the greatest rock anthems of all time, including “Renegade,” “Keep On Loving You,” “Come Sail Away,” “Can't Fight This Feeling,” and “Hotel California.”
Styx and Cronin (as part of REO Speedwagon) first toured together in 2000 and in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks, coming together to form the Rock to the Rescue 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. This will mark their sixth time joining forces on the road.
2022 was the 50th anniversary of Styx's self-titled debut album, but they have yet to slow down. The band released their 17th album, Crash of the Crown, in 2021. Of course, not everyone is a fan, as this classic clip from The Simpsons illustrates.
REO Speedwagon's recording days appear to be done, with their last album coming out in 2009, but the main group of five has been together since 1989. On this tour, Cronin will be joined by REO's lead guitarist Dave Amato and drummer Bryan Hitt.
General tickets for the tour will go on sale starting on Friday, December 13 at 10 am at LiveNation.com.
Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets in the U.S. beginning on December 9 at 10 am through the Citi Entertainment program.
Styx and Kevin Cronin will be offering VIP packages via their own exclusive pre-sales beginning on Tuesday, December 10 at 10 am, as well as at LiveNation.com.
