Taylor dominated the Stones' Monday night (May 20th) final gig at L.A.'s Staples Center, which featured no other surprise guests. Taylor performed a total of four songs with the band -- including his signature tour-de-force, the extended Sticky Fingers workout, "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," along with the rarely played 1971 classic "Sway" which featured only Taylor and Mick Jaggeron guitars during the original session.

Taylor joined the band again for his customary spots on "Midnight Rambler" and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." Other highlights in the show featured a performance of the Some Girls favorite -- and "Miss You" B-side -- "Far Away Eyes."

CBS Houston sports blogger Claire Crawford has been slammed for criticizing a cheerleader for the Oklahoma City Thunder as being, quote, "too chunky" for the job. After the Thunder played the Houston Rockets in the first round of the NBA Playoffs, Crawford wrote that while Williams was pretty, fans had criticized her for, quote, "having 'pudginess' around her waistline." She continued, "But if she's comfortable wearing that tiny outfit and dancing for NBA fans, then good for her. Besides . . . not every man likes women to be toothpick skinny. I'd say most men prefer a little extra meat on her bones." Williams defended herself on Twitter, writing, "To be womanly always, discouraged never. We wouldn't know what blessings were if we didn't go through trials. Thank you to EVERYONE for the compassion and love today. I'm in awe." CBS Houston has since removed the post from its website.
