	    <content type="application/xhtml+xml" mode="xml" xml:lang="en-us"><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #993366;&quot;&gt;I don't know if this is real.... I love Team &quot;Wentz&quot; (Ashlee, Pete, and baby Bronx) I'm just confused about this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ashlee Simpson is pregnant with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aceshowbiz.com/news/view/00024287.html&quot; target=&quot;_parent&quot;&gt;another baby&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Star Magazine &lt;/em&gt;reports, adding that its source says the singer is &quot;just a few weeks along&quot; and is &quot;beyond thrilled.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Still, Jessica Simpson's useless sibling is opting to keep the news private &quot;for at least two more months&quot; before sharing it with the celebrity gossip media.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The mag says Ashlee hopes that baby #2 will make her and Pete closer as his &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2009/04/pete-wentz-grinds-with-skanks-in-vegas/&quot;&gt;grinding with skanks&lt;/a&gt; hectic schedule has put a strain on their relationship.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;A foolproof plan if ever there were one.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;... She loves Pete and wants to hang on to him. She believes this second baby will really clinch the deal,&quot; the celebrity gossip source reportedly writes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/gallery/ashlee-and-pete-wentz-photo/&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;If you believe what you read online, Ashlee Simpson is knocked up and excited about it. But unlike his wife, Pete Wentz is not yet ready to father a second child. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;He absolutely loves Ash and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2008/11/bronx-mowgli-wentz-wtf/&quot;&gt;Bronx Mowgli&lt;/a&gt;,&quot; claims the tabloid when referring to how the Fall Out Boy bass player feels toward Ashlee and their baby boy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;But he also loves his freedom. He thinks a second kid could change things for the worse. He doesn't want to be tied down and stuck at home all the time.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No official confirmation (or denial) has been made by Team Wentz concerning the report of her new pregnancy, or the couple's supposedly rocky marriage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/gallery/stars/ashlee-simpson/&quot;&gt;Ashlee Simpson&lt;/a&gt; and Pete Wentz were longtime lovers before making it official in May 2008. They welcomed the arrival of son Bronx Mowgli in November.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;source: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2009/05/ashlee-simpson-pregnant-again/&quot;&gt;www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2009/05/ashlee-simpson-pregnant-again/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;see ya' (:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

Alyssa Milano proved too much for the other lovely ladies to compete with.

The My Chemical Romance guitarist blew the competition away with those piercing eyes and his adorable smile.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;This year's runners-up were quite a crop of stunners. Coming in a close second are The Hush Sound's lovely &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.peta2.com/outthere/o-hushsound.asp&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;Greta Salpeter&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt; and the one and only Jared Leto of 30 Seconds to Mars.

&lt;P class=bodytext&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;Since being sexy is always in vogue and being &quot;green&quot; has become more than a passing fad, join the club and cut the meat out of your diet. You'll feel great, you'll look great, you'll be saving countless animals, and you'll be helping the planet too. Now if that's not sexy, I don't know what is.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;She had several self-inflicted cuts in parallel fashion on her left wrist, which she told her dad was &#226;&#156;an initiation into emo&#226;&#157;, the inquest at Maidstone Coroners&#226;&#153; Court was told.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;The petite, year nine pupil had in the months prior become obsessed with the teen trend (emo) - a popular fashion and lifestyle fad followed by kids who emulate the older &#226;&#152;gothic&#226;&#153; crowd.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;On her Bebo page Miss Bond, who used the online name Living Disaster and has internet friends with names like Sam Suicide, said she was obsessed with the hugely popular My Chemical Romance band, who hit number one with their last album, The Black Parade.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;Her mother, Heather Bond, told the court how she learned The Black Parade is &#226;&#156;where you go when you die&#226;&#157; as she researched the emo fad.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;She said: &#226;&#156;The whole concept is aimed at people Hannah&#226;&#153;s age.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;In emo it is a very glamorous death to hang yourself.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;There are websites that show pink teddies hanging themselves.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;The band she was into, the music she was into - the whole thing is based on The Black Parade which is all about dying.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;She called emo a fashion and I thought it was normal.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;I didn&#226;&#153;t know about the cuts. She used to wear emo bracelets so her wrists were concealed.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;Hannah was just a normal girl.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;She had loads of friends.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;She could be a bit moody but I though it was just because she was a teenager.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;In the months before she had become obsessed with the internet.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;But there were no signs this was going to happen.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;She had everything to live for.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;In a tribute book left at a shrine at her school following Miss Bond&#226;&#153;s death a pal wrote: &#226;&#156;I hope you enjoy The Black Parade.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;Her father, Ray Bond, a sensei at the Kyokushin Karate Club in Gravesend, where Hannah was a member, wept as he said: &#226;&#156;Two weeks before her death, I saw the cuts.  I asked her about them and we discussed how it was an emo initiation.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;She promised me she would never do it again.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;She was in in touch with emos all over the world, particularly from America, over the internet.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;The night before she hanged herself she came into the room and gave me a big kiss and said &#226;&#152;I love you, Dad&#226;&#153;.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;In the hours before her death Miss Bond had been hanging out with her boyfriend and others at a pal&#226;&#153;s home.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;She had not phoned her parents for a lift home when she was supposed to, playing up after she was told she would not be able to sleep over.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;Her mum and older sister Jessica picked her up more than an hour and a half later to find that Hannah was &#226;&#156;hyper active&#226;&#157;.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;Heather said: &#226;&#156;She was hyperventilating. She used to drink the energy drink Kick, I don&#226;&#153;t know if it had to do with that. She said she wanted a cuddle, so I reached back to her.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;As Hannah entered her family home she said she wanted to go straight upstairs. Heather told how she said: &#226;&#156;I want to kill myself.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;That was the last time she was seen alive.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;Nicola Appleton, the mother of one of the boys at whose home Miss Bond was spending time earlier that night, told the court how in the weeks prior she too had discovered cuts on her son&#226;&#153;s arm.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;She said: &#226;&#156;He said they all did it.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;I told him it had to stop.   He just said emos all do it.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;He said he didn&#226;&#153;t really want to hurt himself and the cuts weren&#226;&#153;t very deep.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;He had done it at school with a compass.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;Vanessa Everett, the headteacher at the Mascalls School were Miss Bond was regarded as an outstanding pupil, admitted there had been serious concerns over the spread of the emo lifestyle among students.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;She said: &#226;&#156;Hannah was known to me as a model student.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;Everybody said she was a lovely, bubbly student who worked hard.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;Right up to the weeks before she died Hannah was getting honours for her work in her lessons.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;But we are very aware of this fashion trend which started with some of the older students.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;Part of the problem it posts for us is it involves superficial self harm.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;It can be difficult for us to differentiate between those students who were doing it because of serious psychological or emotional issues and those who are doing it for a fashion statement.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;We wouldn&#226;&#153;t have classified Hannah as one of those students with serious psychological or emotional problems.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;Recording a verdict of suicide, coroner Roger Sykes said: &#226;&#156;She was a family friendly girl who was doing well as school.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;A girl, aged 13 years, has taken her own life for no reason that could be regarded by anyone as sensible or justified and if in doing so she was thinking about how this would go down with those others who were involved with the emo fad; I just believe this a terrible tragic explanation for what happened.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;It was not glamorous. It was a tragic loss of life.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;Visitors to the Miss Bond&#226;&#153;s Bebo profile page are greeted with the words &#226;&#156;Hi I&#226;&#153;m Hannah and I&#226;&#153;m addicted to My Chemical Romance especially Gerard Way&#226;&#157;.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;She even lists her hometown as &#226;&#156;The Black Parade!!!&#226;&#157;, and her playlist shows she has been repeatedly listening to 14 of the group&#226;&#153;s hits.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;She also asks friends to take part in an online vote on which member of My Chemical Romance is the sexiest.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;The page is decorated with pictures of an emo girl with blood-spattered wrists after slashing herself in an apparent suicide bid.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;Another picture shows a child&#226;&#153;s exercise book scrawled with the words &#226;&#156;Dear Diary, today I gave up&#226;&#166;&#226;&#157;.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;She also glorifies in the slogan: &#226;&#156;Brave is knowing that tomorrow isn&#226;&#153;t a bright and happy future.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;Dozens of Miss Bond&#226;&#153;s heartbroken friends have left tributes on her Bebo page.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;One friend explicitly referred to the lyrics of Miss Bond&#226;&#153;s favourite song when she wrote: &#226;&#156;I&#226;&#153;ll love you forever, I&#226;&#153;ll never forget you, I&#226;&#153;ll hold on to these memories till we meet again in the black parade.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;Another friend, Bonnie Price, wrote: &#226;&#156;I miss you so much, when I found out I was devastated. I love you so much.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;Another added: &#226;&#156;Black tears of death bring red tears of love and memories.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;My Chemical Romance have repeatedly come under fire for &#226;&#152;glamorising&#226;&#153; suicide.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;The band hit the mainsteam in October 2006 when their single Welcome To The Black Parade topped the charts.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;Earlier hundreds of young devotees had queued all night outside London&#226;&#153;s Oxford Street Virgin Megastore for a chance to see the band&#226;&#153;s intimate in-store performance.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;In the hit single the band&#226;&#153;s frontman Gerard Way sings: &#226;&#156;And though you&#226;&#153;re dead and gone believe me your memory will carry on, will carry on.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;And in my heart I can&#226;&#153;t contain it, the anthem won&#226;&#153;t explain it.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;Your misery and hate will kill us all. So paint it black and take it black.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc66cc&gt;&#226;&#156;Do or die, you&#226;&#153;ll never make me, because the world will never take my heart. Though they try, they&#226;&#153;ll never break me. We want it all, we wanna play this part.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;]]></content>

My Chemical Romance is proof with a story from a recent trip south of the border. &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT color=#336666&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&#226;&#156;We were in Mexico City for a signing at a record store . . . and we thought it was going to be pretty small with just a couple hundred people,&#226;&#157; said guitarist Ray Toro. &#226;&#156;But when we pulled up, there were thousands of kids waiting and going crazy, and we couldn&#226;&#153;t believe it. . . . Afterward we just had to get into the van as fast as we could and get out of there. Kids were jumping over fences and getting knocked down, and it was pretty scary. We kept hoping that all the kids were OK.&#226;&#157;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT color=#336666&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;The band&#226;&#153;s charismatic lead singer, Gerard Way, was known during their Warped Tour days for stopping by the medical tent after sets to check up on kids. Now, Toro said, that has been getting harder and harder. advertisement&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT color=#336666&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Rising to fame as fast as many of their bubble-gum pop and blinging hip-hop counterparts, the gritty but polished rock five-piece hasn&#226;&#153;t had much time to rest, let alone contemplate the success. &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT color=#336666&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&#226;&#156;It has been non-stop from the beginning,&#226;&#157; Toro said. &#226;&#156;We have pretty much been on the road since we started, and never really have time to sit down and think about everything that has happened until we go home, which is pretty rare.&#226;&#157;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT color=#336666&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;My Chemical Romance came out of New Jersey in 2001. After putting out its debut on an indie label in 2002, the band was quickly picked up by Reprise Records. Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, released in 2004, skyrocketed MCR into the mainstream. &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT color=#336666&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Since the release of 2006&#226;&#153;s The Black Parade, the band has been riding the coattails of the critically acclaimed album. While most bands talk about maturing, MCR showed it with the epic 13-track rock opera and concept album. &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT color=#336666&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Toro said the band focused on doing something different.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT color=#336666&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&#226;&#156;We really progressed in our writing with this album and knew right away we had set a high standard for ourselves,&#226;&#157; Toro said. &#226;&#156;(The album) embraced what we all were thinking and feeling at the time.&#226;&#157;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT color=#336666&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;When asked if the band ever fears the next album won&#226;&#153;t live up to the standard, Toro replies humbly. &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT color=#336666&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&#226;&#156;Of course we have thought about that many times, like most bands do after they have a successful record, but we are going to keep doing what we do and making music that feels right,&#226;&#157; he said.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT color=#336666&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;It has been reported that the band will go back to its punk-rock roots with the next album. Toro is hesitant to use the term punk rock, but said it will definitely have a raw sound. &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT color=#336666&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;MCR has several tracks written that the group has performed at select shows. After finishing its U.S. tour in May, the band will head back to the studio. &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT color=#336666&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Unlike other bands whose success came quickly, the band has never let itself get caught up in the limelight.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT color=#336666&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&#226;&#156;We were never the type to be all over the paparazzi,&#226;&#157; Toro said. &#226;&#156;We grew up together and still act like we always have. We still go home and hang out with our families and friends, and none of that has changed.&#226;&#157;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;]]></content>

It&#226;&#153;s just very bizarre-type superheroes, almost as if they got thrown into it from when they were kids and they didn&#226;&#153;t really wanna do it. But the dad&#226;&#153;s really crazy and kinda forces &#226;&#153;em into it. It&#226;&#153;s one of those comics that&#226;&#153;s not the easiest to explain because it is so weird, and sometimes they&#226;&#153;re fighting things that are more like concepts, rather than supervillains. And I&#226;&#153;m actually a fan of characters that don&#226;&#153;t have a tremendous amount of powers, so one of the characters was the first boy in space, and he was really smart, an excellent pilot, a better pilot than any adult on the planet &#226;&#147; he was the first person to actually complete a mission to Mars. But he got in an accident on the way back from Mars, and they had to switch his body with that of a Martian simian, a primate that was indigenous to that planet. So his head got attached to the body of a giant blue space ape. Another character is called the Rumor, and her power is that she can tell really small lies, and they all come true. So I tried to really think about the powers and make them useful, but not so useful that you&#226;&#153;re dealing with a Superman character.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P class=smallbodygrey&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color=#e4d3a6&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;TW: Were you tormented as a kid for liking comics?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;GW: Yeah, I guess so. There definitely weren&#226;&#153;t a lot of kids I could hang out with and talk to about &#226;&#153;em. That was the thing &#226;&#147; they were all trading baseball cards, and I tried that and I hated it. And I didn&#226;&#153;t really watch sports, so I had no idea what I was talking about. But I knew a lot about the X-Men, and I knew about Spider-Man and Batman. But there were no other kids around that were really into that. Now I always carry a ton of art supplies with me on the road. I really like standard black ink &#226;&#147; I like brush and ink, and blue pencil&#226;&#153;s what I use to lay it all down. Then I ink over it, kind of an animation way of working. And I like watercolor a lot, too, I&#226;&#153;ll use it sometimes when I actually have time. But doing comics is a lot of work &#226;&#147; it goes from guy to guy to guy, and then months and months later, you have a comic.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P class=smallbodygrey&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN class=bodybold&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;TW: I don&#226;&#153;t trust anyone who hasn&#226;&#153;t gone to the edge and stared into the abyss. In music and art, you seem to have managed that quite well.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;GW: Yes. I think you&#226;&#153;re just playing around if you&#226;&#153;re not doing that. And that doesn&#226;&#153;t mean to say that you have to be gloomy or depressed or anything. But if you&#226;&#153;ve never been to the edge and stared into it, you&#226;&#153;re never gonna become a better human being, I don&#226;&#153;t think. And it&#226;&#153;s facing that stuff that makes you a good person to other people &#226;&#147; it makes you good to yourself, it makes you smarter, it makes you faster, it makes you better. Out of all these tragedies, you&#226;&#153;re born as something better, so I think that staring into the abyss is one of the things that the band does really well.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P class=smallbodygrey&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color=#e4d3a6&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;TW: What, exactly, have you seen there?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;GW: Really, a lot of black. I stare into that sometimes when I have to tap into it and write lyrics, and I see my life going in ways I didn&#226;&#153;t want it to go, I see&#226;&#166; just this kind of darkness. Without sounding corny or clich&#195;&#169;d, that&#226;&#153;s really what it is, you&#226;&#153;re staring into the black and you don&#226;&#153;t know what&#226;&#153;s there. And it&#226;&#153;s really that you&#226;&#153;re staring into what you don&#226;&#153;t know and all your fears at the same time, and all your anxieties and all your depressions, plus all your hang-ups on yourself and all the bad shit you&#226;&#153;ve done in your life, everything. You&#226;&#153;re staring at it, and you&#226;&#153;re either gonna switch it off, or you&#226;&#153;re gonna dive on in.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P class=smallbodygrey&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color=#e4d3a6&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;TW: I saw a great bit of graffiti once: &#226;&#156;The abyss stares also.&#226;&#157;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;GW: [Laughs] That&#226;&#153;s amazing! I never even thought of that.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P class=smallbodygrey&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;TW: So you&#226;&#153;ve probably seen great dark flicks like Audition and Oldboy.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;GW: Those are really big films for me. We based an entire video, shot for shot, on Audition, almost to the point where it felt like we weren&#226;&#153;t being that creative. And I LOVE Oldboy. That scene where he eats the octopus is one of the most intense things I&#226;&#153;ve ever seen. When I was at art school, one of the last classes I took was video art, just the history of it, as a requirement. And I found myself to be so interested in it, I was like &#226;&#156;Wow! Some of these things, they&#226;&#153;re not supposed to make sense, they don&#226;&#153;t have a plot, they&#226;&#153;re actually just visuals.&#226;&#157; But they were so interesting to watch. &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P class=smallbodygrey&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color=#e4d3a6&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;TW: Is it true you&#226;&#153;re going to write some horror books for Scholastic?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;GW: It was a really amazing opportunity that came up. I&#226;&#153;m actually really interested in young adult stuff, because I find that to be a pretty crazy playground right now. You find a lot of authors like Neil Gaiman and Clive Barker going to that form, so in a weird way its limitations give you more freedom, because if you&#226;&#153;re writing for young adults, you can push the boundaries more. But it also keeps you from doing the things you would normally do in an adult book. And I think that&#226;&#153;s what&#226;&#153;s great about young adult &#226;&#147; the stuff that crosses over. &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P class=smallbodygrey&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color=#e4d3a6&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#330033&gt;TW: And one thing you&#226;&#153;ve got to admit &#226;&#147; all the stimulants and depressants in the world can&#226;&#153;t equal the wonder of real life.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;GW: Yeah. And not only is [real life] ugly and beautiful at the same time &#226;&#147; because anything needs to be both ugly and beautiful &#226;&#147; but it&#226;&#153;s just so amazing, and there are so many opportunities there to do so many crazy things if you&#226;&#153;re just not fucked up. And the point the band&#226;&#153;s at now, creatively, especially on Black Parade? We pushed it so far with that record that we can do all kinds of crazy things now. And that&#226;&#153;s what&#226;&#153;s really exciting.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
