| Worst
Band Ever |
tinfoilmusic.net reports: We love/hate lists
of the best/worst things. These lists are highly subjective and are almost
always mostly wrong. Blender's list of the 50 worst bands ever is one of
them, but atleast they got Insane Clown Posse in the top spot, so that
has to count for something.
1 INSANE CLOWN POSSE
They sound even stupider than they look
Two trailer-trash types who wear face
paint, pretend to be a street gang and drench cult devotees in cheap soda
called Faygo, Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope are more notorious for their
beef with Eminem (who pistol-whipped an ICP homey in 2001) than their ham-fisted
rap-rock music.

Trashes Idol |
TMZ reports: "American Idol" winner Taylor
Hicks needs to learn to watch his mouth. Hicks recently slipped and said
the reality show was "fizzling out" and pooh-poohed being crowned last
year's winner. Now he's doing some damage control before the new season
starts, and before Simon Cowell blacklists him forever. E! Online reports
that the grey-haired crooner has apologized, saying, "Those words were
taken completely out of context. I'm very thankful to have had the opportunity
to be on 'American Idol.'"- Click

Vs Kittie |
blabbermouth.net reports: Canadian all-girl

Billboard for Paris |
TMZ reports: Apparently, Paris Hilton has
some sort of standards: she won't belittle her friends on Monday night's
Billboard Music Awards. The heiress is following in the footsteps of new
BFF Britney and has pulled the plug on hosting the show.
"It is my understanding that some satirical
references ridiculed some of her peers," Hilton's spokesman, Elliot Mintz,
says in the New York Post. "Paris did not want to say anything that could
appear hurtful or embarrassing about people she knows."[see full story

| Godsmack
Memoir |
blabbermouth.net reports: A web site has been
launched for GODSMACK frontman Sully Erna's upcoming memoir, "The Paths
We Choose", which details the first 30 years of his life up until GODSMACK
got signed. Due on February 7 via Bartleby Press, the book "is about what
it took to get from Point A to Point B," Sully previously told Launch.
"It's not the autobiography that's so cliché that talks about all
the girls we (slept with) and how many drugs we've done and... who cares.
This is a cooler story for me." Erna also said that the book will have
"a lot of morals and lessons to be learned in it." [see full story for

| MPAA
Vs Privacy |
tinfoilmusic.net reports: Just prior to the
HP pretexting scandal , California was just about to pass a law banning
the practice outright. It was a wide reaching law that looked like it was
very good for the average consumer. Pretexting is the act of creating and
using an invented scenario (the pretext) to persuade a target to release
information or perform an action and is usually done over the telephone.
It's more than a simple lie as it most often involves some prior research
or set up and the use of pieces of known information (e.g., For impersonation:
Birthday, Social Security Number, last bill amount) to establish legitimacy
in the mind of the target.
The bill passed the first couple rounds
of voting with flying colours before the MPAA caught wind of it. Their
powerful lobying group then managed to convince enough member of the California
government that the MPAA needed to be able to use this tactic to help stop
piracy.[see full story for more]- Click
