Meat Loaf On Wendy Williams To kick off Big Game Week on "The Wendy Williams Show", rock legend Meat Loaf joined Wendy on her couch today to remind musicians who they work for, reveal he didn't know most of the celebrities attending the Grammy's and explain the origins of his unusual stage name. Set to take up a residency in Vegas, Meat had some sound advice for musicians whose offstage antics may overshadow their performances. "You have to be so disciplined. You gotta know who you're working for. You're working for the people who spent their hard earned money buying a ticket. And that's the most important thing. You don't show up late. You don't go out drinking the night before and get drunk."

* *** In the new issue of Steppin Out magazine, Meat Loaf's daughter, Pearl Aday vents about her biological father to Chaunce Hayden and calls him nothing more but a sperm donor. **** Pearl Aday Pearl Aday: A lot of journalists have been calling Meat Loaf my step-dad. That's such a bummer. It hits me in my heart. Because it's not true. It hurts my dad's feelings to. He's my dad. He's the only dad I've ever had. He raised me from when I was a baby. I never had another dad in my life. He's my dad. I'm his daughter. My biological dad was just a sperm donor. He was never my dad. He was never a father to me. My dad is Meat Loaf. Chaunce Hayden: Do you ever wonder if your biological father knows who you are now and what you're doing with your life? Pearl Aday: He does know. He keeps in touch and sends Christmas cards to my grandmother. But I don't know him. He never tried to contact me. I don't really need to know him either. I have a dad. H...

Meat Loaf Rock legend Meat Loaf has joined the celebrity line-up at this autumn’s Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp, where the Bat Out Of Hell singer will give fans and wannabes the benefit of his years in the music business. This year’s camp counsellors also include Yes singer Jon Anderson and former Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley. The November 12th-22nd event follows a hugely successful spring camp headlined by Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler. Camp founder David Fishod explains the decision to hire Meat Loaf: "Meat Loaf has been to baseball fantasy camps before, so I wrote a letter to his manager to invite him to ours. He’s a fun guy.

Rock icon Meat Loaf wants to have a Hollywood career, because he considers himself an actor first, musician second.The Bat Out of Hell rocker, has enjoyed huge successes as a singer, but at 60, he wants to be remembered more for his skills on screen than anything else. When asked whether he’s more of a musician or an actor, he tells Britain’s Esquire magazine, "I’m an actor. I’ve done 43 films and I’ve got offers for a couple more on the table."I don’t always choose them for the size of the role, there is an old actor saying and it is that there are never small roles, only small actors. And Meat Loaf, who has starred in movies including Fight Club and The Pick of Destiny, singles out his best-ever performance as that in the lesser known 2001 drama Focus, alongside William H. Macy and Laura Dern. He adds, "Forget making records, or selling records. That’s it, right there, the best thing I’ve ever done - (Focus), a little film that we shot in Toronto (Canada) and no one k...
