Progressive hard rock band Tool will play Toledo’s Huntington Center Jan. 24.
Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. The band has managed to combine styles of music that aren’t necessarily considered mainstream — grindcore, heavy metal, thrash — into chart-topping commercial success and popularity thanks to their ability to meld the unusual with something more accessible.
Their most recent release is 2006’s “10,000 Days.” Reserved seat tickets are $62.50, $47.50, and $35 and will be available at www.livenation. com, all Ticketmaster locations, the Huntington Center ticket office, or by phone at 800-745-3000.
Stubborn
Lindsay Lohan says she should have listened to her advisers, but her stubbornness led to many of her welldocumented legal problems.
Lohan made the comments in the January-February issue of Playboy magazine, which features mostly nude photos and a brief story about the starlet.
Pictures leaked online Friday, prompting the magazine to release the issue early on its Web site. The story refers to Lohan’s infamous bad behavior — including two drunken driving arrests, five jail sentences, and five rehab stints — as youthful misadventures.
Lohan returns to court Wednesday to update a judge on her compliance with strict new probation requirements that include working at a morgue.
Honolulu police say Lohan reported a bag stolen from a vehicle early Sunday morning. The bag was recovered, but its contents are missing.
Winners
The Amazing Race took its final three teams on a frantic scramble through Atlanta during Sunday’s conclusion of the CBS competition show.
In the end, it was Ernie Halvorsen and his fiancee Cindy Chiang, both from Chicago, who crossed the finish line at Atlanta’s historic Swan House to win the $1 million prize.
In second place were Californians Jeremy Cline and Sandy Draghi. In third place were former NFL player Marcus Pollard and his wife Amani, from Pine Mountain, Ga.
During this last leg of the round-the-world race, the couples were required to land a jetliner in a flight simulator, find Gone With the Wind author Margaret Mitchell’s home, and plot their 40,000-mile odyssey on a giant world map above the parking lot at Turner Field.
Not quite over
Meryl Streep may be one of the finest actresses around, yet she says she believed her career was over 20 years ago.
The 62-yearold tells Vogue magazine she was offered three different roles to play a witch after turning 40. She believed it meant women in her age group were “grotesque on some level,” and told her husband, “It’s over.”
Streep played the editor of the fictional Vogue-like magazine Runway in the movie The Devil Wears Prada.
She is now gracing the January cover of the real magazine for the first time, joking that she’s the oldest person to do so.
Next, she plays the former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in Iron Lady, which opens Jan. 13.
The January issue of Vogue goes on sale Dec. 20.
