and "Hyperactive" blasts Kevin Federline for allegedly sampling his most

Terrorist |
punkbands reports: British anti-terrorism
detectives escorted a man from a plane after a taxi driver had earlier
become suspicious when he started singing along to a track by punk band
The Clash, police said on Wednesday.
Detectives halted the London-bound flight
at Durham Tees Valley Airport and Harraj Mann, 24, was taken off.
The taxi driver had become worried on the
way to the airport because Mann had been singing along to The Clash's 1979
anthem "London Calling," which features the lyrics "Now war is declared
-- and battle come down" while other lines warn of a "meltdown expected".[see

was born to play, and it looks like she'll be getting the chance to do
just that very soon. You guessed it - it's been reported that Jessica Simpson
is going to be starring in a new Baywatch movie.[ see full story for more]-

are teaming up with hip-hop producer-of-the-moment Danger Mouse for their
lusted-after follow-up to Echoes, which will technically be their third

of me going in and playing a guitar part, he'll take a little loop of it
and use it to sound like something's exploding. [see full story for more]-

vocalist Ronnie James Dio "wasn't invited" to BLACK SABBATH's Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony and "wasn't bothered" by the fact
that he wasn't present at the event, according to the Cleveland Scene Clubs

who answered the phone, said, "Ronnie was not invited, but he's not bothered
by it, because he is busy working on his own projects. He wishes them the
best."[see full story for more]- Click
