EAGLES OF DEATH METAL

Considering most, if not all, of the songs from Eagles of Death Metal’s first two albums are about screwing almost anything with a vagina, it’s funny that lead singer Jesse Holmes never got laid until he met his wife. “Girls didn’t want to have sex with me, and they had no problem letting me know. The song Jesse’s Girl was the worst thing that ever happened,” he says. And of course he was the small kid with the “eccentric” family who got beat up a lot—he sort of sounds like a supermodel. Then in high school Holmes met Josh Homme (of Queens of the Stone Age), who saved him from ...

EDDIE STEEPLES

Actor Eddie Steeples’ tattoos tell his life story— and as far as we can tell, it’s going to be a comedy. Writers’ strike or not, a hit comedy on NBC is doing Eddie Steeples pretty well. Or so it would seem for the My Name Is Earl star, who is nearly impossible to track down. When I finally get him on the phone, he’s chilling in Hawaii. “I just really needed to get away for a minute, real last minute.

ELM STREET TATTOO

In 1990, tattooer Oliver Peck made the decision to never again wear a pair of shoes that wasn't red. "It's sort of an LSD-induced pact I made with myself," Peck explains from the floor of Elm Street Tattoo, which he opened with partner Dean Williams in 1996. In the 12 years since Elm Street opened its doors, Peck has worn out a closet full of red shoes ("I still have them all. I can go count them for you," he jokes) even if the look and feel of the shop haven't changed much. "From the beginning, we wanted to open a really traditional shop. We weren't interested in the new, studio-type place," Peck explains. With his growing collection of dice, more Americana on the walls than the local T.G.I. Friday's, ...

EMII

There are two different sides to rising pop star Emii. The sexy singer behind “Stilettos” and “Mr. Romeo” (recorded with the recently rechristened Snoop Lion) certainly knows how to work her goddess mojo, but at heart she’s a geek who feels at home discussing X-Men, having “nerdgasms” at Comic-Con, and quoting Star Wars.
