Raped & Sued? |
pr-inside reports: The single mother at the
centre of DMX's rape charges is suing the rapper after getting bombarded
with calls asking her if she took advantage of the sleeping hitmaker. In
a recent issue of urban magazine Sister 2 Sister, DMX - real name EARL
SIMMONS - insisted he was "raped" by a woman in Washington DC.
He refused to name her but confessed she
is the same woman who successfully won a paternity battle with the rap
star, claiming her baby son was the result of a weekend romance she had
with DMX in 2003. Now, MONIQUE WAYNE, who is the woman the rapper is referring
to is suing him for defamation[see full story for more]-

| Eagles
Vs Axl |
punkbands reports: Eagles Of Death Metal band
leader Jesse "The Devil" Hughes has vented his anger at Axl Rose, saying
the singer is "fucking out of his mind" after his band were thrown off
Guns n' Roses' US tour. However speaking to NME, Hughes said he was "shocked"
by Rose's reaction when he branded them "The Pigeons Of Shit Metal", and
then sacked them from stage during a recent gig at Cleveland's Quicken
Loans Arena.
"Axl Rose is fucking out of his mind,"
raged Hughes. "He wasn't even there when we played. He got there about
30 minutes after we got done playing. He waltzed on to the stage and went
nuts. He had a couple of fans thrown out for pissing him off. Then when
he called us The Pigeons Of Shit Metal, Tommy Stinson, their bass player
took his bass off and goes: 'Fuck you, that's it'. And then he threw his
bass down. But then Axl picked up his bass and fucking threw it at him
dude. It was a fucking circus up there."
Despite reports claiming that his band
were thrown off the tour for the poor reception they received, Hughes said
by the end of the show EODM managed to win the fans over.[see full story

Oprah Racism |
TMZ reports: Oprah Winfrey has morphed into

of being an Oreo - black outside, white inside - in an interview in the
January issue of Elle, saying that the Queen of All Media "started out
with black women's views but has been catering to middle-aged white American
women for so long that she's become one herself."[see full story for more]-

6 Mafia Settle |

were sealed.

the club.[see full story for more]- Click

Shut Down |
tinfoilmusic.net reports: The American Government,
at the urging of the RIAA & MPAA, have finally forced Russian company
Allofmp3.com to shut down. The Americans have browbeaten the Russian government
enough that they have finally caved in and declared the site illegal, even
though it complies with Russian law.
One of the key sticking points to Russia's
acceptance into the WTO was what the US considered a substandard approach
to protecting Intellectual Property Rights.[see full story for more...

punkbands reports: AFI have started announcing
gigs for 2007. This time they'll be taking Sick of it All and Departed
on the road with them. No word on how many more shows will be added (if
any), but I'm hoping this bill hits New York. As noted on another message
board, it would be glorious to watch mall goths running for the hills when
SOIA hits the stage in their hometown. Confirmed dates are below.
2/5 New Orleans -- House of Blues
2/9 Columbus, OH -- Newport Music Hall
2/11 Cincinnati, OH -- Bogart's

Fist Laid Low |
punkbands reports: Sweden's Raised Fist have
again cancelled their planned Canadian tour dates in support of Sound of
the Republic. They posted the following statement: Alle has got some serious
problems with his voice. He got it during the Australian tour already but
we all thought he would recover well in time for the Canadian tour.
He's been treated with antibiotics. But
unfortunately the problems remain the same and we can't take the chance
to fly over the band for this tour, without being 100% sure that the band
can perform. [see full story for more]- Click
