Metal Sludge reports: Well as always Metal
Sludge is being tagged as the "bad" people because of our recent blurb
about Slash allegedly bailing on Velvet Revolver. Of course there is no
hard facts for this yet, but like the old saying goes: where there's smoke,
there's fire.... Now an additional source has told us that Duff McKagan
has indeed entered a rehab center in the Cascade Mountains in the state
of Washington near his home. [see full story for more]-

Kidnapping |
AP reports: The ex-wife of country music star
Garth Brooks was kidnapped at gunpoint by a man who worked on her farm
after she cooperated with a bail bondsman who wanted to arrest the worker,
authorities said Tuesday.
Sandy Brooks had allowed the bondsman onto
her property Monday to apprehend the man, who was wanted on an outstanding
warrant. The worker responded by drawing a weapon, forcing her into a car
and ordering her to drive away, said Barry Lamb, undersheriff of Rogers
County.[see full story for more]- Click

Aiken Conspiracy |
Day in Rock reports: What half way through
the week and no salacious Clay Aiken stories? Yes they are getting as old
hat and boring as "Pete Doherty Arrested Again" headlines but celebrity
terrorist site Faded Youth has an interesting story about Claymate Hysteria
over the recent gay accusations. Some Clay fans see Gay Aiken stories as
a big conspiracy. Faded Youth reports, "working feverishly in efforts to
disprove or derail any and all talk of the scandalous allegations, insistent
that the stories must be the conspiratorial work of gay extremists or others.
Taking notes from Al-Qaeda, scandal talk is above top secret and forbidden
on the Claymate message boards, instead hidden away in private forums where
they plot retaliation in their ongoing Clay jihad. The more resourceful
Claymates have called for boycotts of media reporting the story), and the
less resourceful have simply resorted to spamming sites that dare to reference
the story. Some of their more hilariously bizarre efforts are their C.S.I.
type examinations of the infamous webcam, while one of the more devious
efforts is a story leaked to the media of a supposed conspiracy to frame
Aiken by impersonator Coti Collins."
They also report that John Paulus, the
man that claimed a gay tryst with Aiken, has launched his own blog. Among
the most interesting things on Paulus' site is a story by Q-Notes that
reports "To the gay community of Charlotte - many of whom knew Aiken during
his time spent at UNCC - the revelation comes as no surprise." Click the
full story and Faded Youth will hook you up with all the links, but better
act fast before the men in black shut down that site! Clay isn't gay according
to the Aiken camp. [see full story for more]- Click

Goes Bust |
TMZ reports: One of Hollywood's original "Kings
of Bling" has gone bust. Marion "Suge" Knight, head of Death Row Records,
has filed for Chapter 11 personal bankruptcy this morning in federal court,
TMZ has learned. The groundbreaking record company he founded is apparently
planning to also file for bankruptcy later today, sources say.
The legal maneuvering comes after Knight
recently lost a $107 million judgment to Lydia Harris, who claimed to be
half-owner of the rap empire. In her complaint, Harris alleged that Knight
schemed to "destroy her ability to lay claim to her rightful share of the
ownership and profits" of the label. Superior Court Judge Ronald Sohigan
found that Knight did not answer legal inquiries in the case nor did Knight
provide information requested by the court, so he found in favor of Harris
before the case even went to trial. [see full story for more]-
