Sheri Zombie

Even if he had never picked up a movie camera, Rob Zombie would have had a permanent place in history as the frontman of seminal psychedelic metal band White Zombie and the author of three fantastically freaky solo albums. But Zombie was never content to just sit still, and he has managed to carve himself out a nice little niche as a horror movie director. The guy is responsible for some of the craziest, goriest entries in the modern horror canon, including "House of 1,000 Corpses," "The Devil's Rejects" and his re-imagining of the John Carpenter classic "Halloween." Promotion for the latter's sequel brought Zombie to New York, where he stopped by Planet Hollywood in Times Square with his wife Sherri Moon Zombie at his side.

Be sure to stay tuned to the MTV Movies Blog next week, where Zombie will be guest-editing in support of his new movie "Halloween II." He'll also provide some updates to his upcoming projects, including the animated "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto" (based on Zombie's own comic book). And he can't shake the music bug, either, as he has an album finished and will perform at a metal festival in Japan in October, which will be his first show in two years. In other celeb news, U2's Bono signed a handful of autographs during a visit to Radio Two in London, and Jessica Simpson dressed up as a Geisha for her upcoming VH1 show.
