 Stapp
Sex Tape? |
antiMusic reports: Scott Stapp may be getting
an unexpected wedding present from Red Light District. The Detroit News
is reporting that the porn distributor plans to follow up their successful
release of the Paris Hilton sex tape with one they just obtained featuring
the former Creed frontman and Kid Rock.
The 45-minute video reportedly features
Stapp and Kid Rock "engaging in a series of randy tour bus shenanigans
with four buxom groupies," according to the Detroit News report. Although
the story later states that the video shows "two women engaged in a sexual
tryst with Rock". No mention of any real action featuring the "Christian
Rock" singer aside from a clip released on the net where Stapp proclaims
"It's good to be the king!" and the mention of "tour bus shenanigans with
four buxom groupies".
The Detroit News spoke with Red Light District
president David Joseph who said that the tape was filmed in Miami in 2000
and he hopes to release it this year on DVD at about $70-$80 a pop. You

Leaks Pt 2 |
antiMusic reports: GNR fever has hit the web
big time! It didn't take long for Guns N' Roses management to reportedly
attempt to plug the leaks that sprung up on Wednesday but a ton of fans
already got a taste of the new GNR material and are itching for more. Many
GNR websites that offer forums have instituted a delete and ban policy
for those that post links to the two leaked GNR tracks "IRS" and "Better"
that we reported on yesterday. Messages reportedly from reps of the group's
management asked fan sites to remove links and any postings mentioning
the leaks.
That didn't stop some radio stations from
playing the song. Eight radio outlets have played one or both songs according
to fan reports on the popular GNR site 'Here Today
Gone to Hell.' The
King of All Media even got in on it; Howard Stern reportedly played part
of "IRS" on his show Thursday.
The leaks have fueled rumors across the
board. One such rumor says that the original lineup of the group was reforming
with Slash re-recording the guitar parts on Chinese Democracy. Most
fans dismiss such rumors out of hand. We do know that prior to these leaks,
the GNR camp planned to make some kind of announcement within the next
few weeks. [see full story for more]- Click

| Coldplay
on Hold |
antiMusic reports: The Evening Standard is
reporting that Coldplay plan to take a long vacation after their world
tour concludes. Frontman Chris Martin proclaimed that Coldplay plan to
"go into hiding" as the band picked up a Brit Award for album of the year
earlier this week.
"People are fed up with us - and so are
we," Martin told the crowd. "We won't see you for a long time. I mean it.
It's going to be years before we have the chance to say this again."
The London paper says a spokesperson confirmed
that the band would go on break following the conclusion of their current
World Tour. The proclamations caused some to speculate that the band was
calling it a day; however, their record label EMI has a different spin
on the news. A rep for the label told NME, "Coldplay are not quitting.
They are on the road until July, when their 16-month 'X&Y' World Tour
ends in Japan. They will then continue working on new material."
