Well, like, hey, all you dudes and babes - Congratulations! It's Beau Hajavitch himself here, and you have stumbled onto THE BEAU ZONE! This is where you'll find all the controversial opinions I have to offer on anything you can think of. You know, the Hard Rock Heroes website is basically a nostalgia website. Since the show isn't on anymore, there's no reason for any updates except for the Links page. So after a while I began to get itchy to create more content for the web. So I thought I would start my own column, if you will, of what I think about anything and everything, and include that as part of this website, but with a different color background so you'd know this has nothing to do with the Hard Rock Heroes TV show. It also gives me an excuse to show you current pictures of myself and to perhaps discuss recent happenings in my life you should know about. I often get frustrated that my opinions on things are never usually reflected in the media. So here's my outlet in the form of The Beau Zone. You may laugh, you may cry, you may get thoroughly disgusted. That's your perogative, and guess what? There ain't a damn thing you can do about it! HA HA HA HA HA! Unless you want to respond with an e-mail to me: click here to do that. So without further adieu, let's get to my current opinions. This page will be updated every month or two, so keep checking back for anything you want to know about how my mind works. (This paragraph and the photos below will remain the same, though.) So light up a smoke, and here we go:

On One Tree Hill, Peyton started her own record company. You know the album covers from the '70s and '80s she used to decorate her office wall? As an inside joke, she should have added a Huey Lewis album cover. You know how he played Hayley's father? (And are Haley's parents STILL travelling the country in that Winnebago four years later?)

Regarding the movie 21: I was confused and dumbfounded at Laurence Fishburne's role. He's doing surveillance for several casinos at once? Doesn't each casino have their own surveillance personnel? And face-recognition software is coming in NOW??? You mean it hasn't been around for years and years already? Or have I been watching too much Las Vegas (the series)? I always wondered if the degree of technology that Danny McCoy and Mike Cannon were using was really as sophisticated as what the casinos use. But I always figured it was to SOME degree computerized, for the TV show to even suggest what they were presenting. Laurence Fishburne's job and character reminds me in so many ways of a '70s movie. Oh, and one more thing: Too bad the gang didn't play blackjack at the Mirage - once Jim Sturgess saw all that Beatles Love paraphenelia around, maybe it would have inspired him to break out into Beatles songs!

Due to my writeup on greatest hits albums last time, a lot of comments piled up. Some of them are getting old. Like these, but they're still funny, and they're short, so I'll just lump them all together here.....Rosie O'Donnell is now trying to get Bob Barker's hosting gig on The Price Is Right after he retires. Bob says that's okay with him as long as she gets spayed and neutered.....The White Stripes are playing all three territories on their tour: Yukon, NWT, and Nunavut. If it's cold up there, they'll REALLY be concerned about ".....the hardest button to button.....".....So Fergie liked Alanis' You Tube video of "My Humps" so much she gave her a cake shaped like an ass? Alanis needs a knife to cut that cake now, I guess. Too bad she has ".....10,000 spoons when all she needs is a knife....." Hey, maybe that cake tastes Fergalicious!.....You know what song Rod Stewart should have covered on that rock classics album he did? Kiss' "Hard Luck Woman!"

So now that FOX has cancelled the O.J. Simpson TV special and book, here's a great idea for what they can replace the TV show with: How about locking O.J. in a room with Michael Richards and let's see what happens. There's your TV special.

Ace Frehley played the Garrick Centre on March 12 of this year. Could you imagine if Winnipeg Kiss tribute band The Paul Stanleys had opened up for him? Ace Frehley and The Paul Stanleys both in one night? Two top acts on the same bill? "Two sides of the coin to choose from....."

Or how about this: After The Paul Stanleys have played basically an opening set, the main Paul says "We got one more song, now for this song,....." as he motions to the "Ace" Paul and does his "We got a little surprise for you tonight, we're going to turn the microphone over to....." speech. But just as he's about to say "Paul Stanley," Ace walks out and says "I'll handle it from here, curly," and proceeds to sing Shock Me himself. Then Ace says, "We're going to take a break now, stick around for ME with my own band!" Then the fans can slap that clip of that one song Ace did with The Paul Stanleys all over You Tube. Wishful thinking, I guess. Alas, "words are not enough....." Or will it be "a darkness never ending?" Maybe if The Paul Stanleys had just talked to the promoter. They could have said to him, "Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation....."

While we're on the subject of Kiss, Gene Simmons once said he'd like to brand the air we breathe as "Kiss Air" so that every time we'd take a breath, we'd owe him money. I think this puts Gene in a quandry: "Kiss Air" would make more money than "Gene Simmons Air" but for "Kiss Air" Gene would have to give 50% of the profits to Paul Stanley.

How about some MORE short old stuff? Both these two are about 2007 award shows.....Belly is performing at the Muchmusic Video Awards this year? Wonder if he'll ".....feel the pressure....." Hey, maybe BFFs Hilary Duff and Leah Miller can be the ".....females doing what they want to do.....".....At the 2007 MTV Movie Awards, when they did the gag with Sarah Silverman and Jessica Biel almost kissing, they should have spliced in the shot of Justin Timberlake looking intently as he was looking at the Britney/Madonna kiss at the VMAs that other year.

Those new Verizon Wireless phones where you point the phone at a playing song and the phone identifies it really work! I heard the new Avril Lavigne song "Girlfriend" and pointed my phone at it and the display read "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" by The Rubinoos!

Okay, so Lindsay Lohan was in rehab, right? And she was there the first time when Paris Hilton was released from prison, right? So Paris goes on Larry King Live on CNN and Larry asks her about Lindsay and Britney and she gives reserved answers, then he asks her something about rehab and she says, "I have no friends in rehab." OOOOOHH!!! So Lindsay's not her friend? I guess "frenemy" IS the correct word! I'm surprised the media didn't jump all over this!

It looks like Vickie Guerrero on Smackdown has made something of the catch phrase, "EXCUSE ME!" Don Callis as Cyrus in the original ECW tried, but he didn't make his entrance often enough before the TNN show was pulled.

Speaking of Don Callis, the act of The Brian Kendrick and Ezeikel on Smackdown seems to be someone's ripoff of Don Callis as The Natural when he had Bad News Allen as his bodyguard in Tony Condello's IWA Hardcore, which was the last thing Allen did before retiring, and the last thing Callis did as The Natural before heading off to WWE as The Jackyl. Allen dressed up in that same white outfit Ezeikel wears.

And speaking of Vickie, when she punished referee Charles Robinson for his conduct, I guess she was remembering when J.J. Dillon replaced Ric Flair with him as acting president of WCW on Nitro from Fargo, North Dakota in April 1999 (I was there) after Roddy Piper had Flair committed to the insane asylum the previous week in Gainesville, Florida. (Remember Robinson and Flair talking on split-screen?)

And speaking of Flair, on Raw, when he and Chris Jericho were going to go outside to fight, I was wondering if Jericho might get locked out again like he did on Nitro when he had his security team, including Ralphus, and he locked himself out of the building and couldn't get back in. In the ring, Wrath was watching all this on the screen and figured if Jericho couldn't go to him, he'd go to Jericho. So he left the ring, went backstage, went outside, and they had their match outside. (FUN FACT: The bar First Avenue in Minneapolis is where Prince filmed Purple Rain. Years later, they built the Target Center kitty-corner from First Avenue. When Nitro was at Target Center, there was another match where Jericho and his opponent (forgot who) wrestled outside into the street and I could see First Avenue behind them. Cool!)

I heard a comment from an audience member on MTV Live on MTV Canada when they were talking about colleges and universities: "Well, you know the saying, if you can hold a fork, you can go to York." I chuckled as I remembered Trish Stratus went to York.

WWE has released Stevie Richards, but here's something I had written about him before he was released that no one ever says: The reason WWE fans don't react to Stevie Richards is because they don't get why Steven Richards of the Right To Censor looks like that. Now, I don't remember myself, but what was the angle to end the Right To Censor? I have a feeling there wasn't one. So WWE just dropped it and the leader, Steven Richards, grows his hair again and inexplicably slowly morphs into what original-ECW fans know as Stevie Richards. Without any promos. And so the fans are confused. Ever since the Right To Censor ended, WWE fans just don't know what to make of this man. Can he even be salvaged in WWE? It's amazing he's even still there.

Regarding the May 9 and May 16, 2008 Smackdowns, where they had the winner of the battle royal become the new World Heavyweight Champion: Why couldn't Teddy Long (in Vickie Guerrero's absence) or Michael Cole/Mick Foley bring up the following points: 1) If Edge was medically cleared to wrestle during the battle royal, couldn't they have brought up the fact that he was supposed to wrestle and defeat someone in a qualifying match first? If there is no time for such a match because the battle royal is taking place, that's not fair, it's in favor of Edge, and it's something the announcers could easily have brought up as heat on Edge. Instead, no one brought that point up. 2) And if Edge is going to run out into that battle royal, how is it that he wins just by spearing Batista off the ring apron? I thought that the way you eliminate anyone in a battle royal is by throwing them over the top rope. Edge did not throw Batista over the top rope. He just pushed him from the ring apron onto the floor. Batista should have gotten back in the ring. He was not eliminated. Now, WWE could have still done all this and have the announcers deliberately not bring it up until after the match, which in this case would be on next week's show, but the problem with doing all this is that, although it puts heat on Edge, it portrays the WWE's referees that worked that battle royal as a bunch of incompetents.
