 50
Cent Airport Brawl |
According to witnesses, the scuffle began
onboard an Aviation Development Company flight which was scheduled to bring
the performers to Port Harcourt for the Star Mega Jam's final performance.
Abdulkareem allegedly attempted to sit in a seat reserved for 50 Cent.
When he was stopped from taking the seat, his entourage protested, and
a brawl ensued inside the airplane. The scuffle carried on to the tarmac
of the domestic wing of the Murtala Muhammad Airport. [see full story for

Blast Eminem |
"Kicking someone when he's down is not a good thing," Wonder tells Billboard. "I have much respect for his work...[b]ut I was disappointed that he would let himself go to such a level.
"He has succeeded on the backs of people
predominantly in that lower pay bracket, people of color. So for him to
come out like that is bull----." [see full story for more]-

| Cliff
Burton Tapes |
"There are METALLICA mega-hits that will never be," says Dave DiDonato, a drummer in his own right, of the tapes. "All these killer riffs . . . he was working on them until he died."
Burton's parents gave DiDonato the
tapes after their son's death, and DiDonato wants to get them in the hands
of someone who can continue in Burton's spirit. "I would love to find a
young bass musician following in [Cliff's] footsteps," he says, "someone
who would utilize this material to improve his craft and appreciate the
music, and devote himself to doing what Cliff was doing." [see full story

Fraud |
Sara Hambridge, from Leicester, duped innocent customers out of more than £3,000 for fewer than 20 fake tickets for the festival.
Judge Richard Bray told the 28-year-old that she had taken advantage of a system which made life easy for fraudsters.
PA reports that Hambridge made £3,021 from five customers, and was told she only escaped jail due to ill-health following an operation earlier this year.
Sentencing her to a nine-month suspended
sentence, Judge Bray said: "These trusting people, they get on the Internet
and they ask for a ticket and they send a cheque without any knowledge
of who they are sending it to. [see full story for more]-

Blast Whiners |
The U2 frontman says he has no time for pampered musicians who moan about their life.
Instead, the singer insists they should be grateful to their fans who have paid for their lavish lifestyles reports Femalefirst.co.uk quoting The Sun.
He said: "I do hate whingeing rock stars.
The life that people have given us is amazing. We don't have the same worries
other people do, like how to pay the bills. In return we only have to do
one thing. The deal is, don't be crap - that's all anyone's asked of us."

Puppy Boycott |
In the past few months a band by the name
of Skinny Puppy has slandered Bush. At several of their concerts over the
Summer they have simulated an assassination of the president. On their
current Fall tour they simulated a beheading similar to the ones happening
in Iraq. When the vocalist pulls off their hoods he reveals the terrorists
to be Bush and Cheney. This is unacceptable and I encourage you not to
play their latest record, The Greater Wrong of the Right, that has been
indicated by their record label as being played on your station. [see full
