Bad Company's drummer just got a lot more interesting. Jemina Kirke, daughter of Simon Kirke, was named the Babe of the Day by men's site GuySpeed.com. While many Babe of the Day photos involve women wearing near nothing, Kirke is covered from head to toe in two of the three photos.
Paul Rodgers just might be the Magic 8 Ball of rock 'n' roll. In a recent interview, the frontman revealed how his advice to Robert Plant and Joe Walsh might've helped steer them to greatness, and he also came clean about the bands who tried -- and failed -- to recruit him.
Since 2008, the surviving members of the classic Bad Company lineup have occasionally regrouped to play shows in select parts of the world, such as the United States and Japan.
Mainland Europe was not part of Bad Co.'s itineraries — until this year. Starting June 9 in Sweden, singer Paul Rodgers, guitarist Mick Ralphs and drummer Simon Kirke will launch a brief tour of continental Europe, their first one there since 1975 (way back when the band's second album, 'Straight Shooter,' was released).

The concert film features a scruffy, strong-voiced Paul Rodgers leading the surviving original trio through powerful, unvarnished readings of big hits such as 'Shooting Star' and 'Ready for Love,' as well as lesser know fan-favorite album cuts.
Who’s ready for some reunited Bad Company rock ‘n’ roll, right in the comfort of your home? The legendary blues-rockers are set to release ‘Live at Wembley’ on DVD, Blu-ray and CD through Eagle Rock Entertainment on June 28.
