Car Suit |
E! reports: The reclusive Guns N' Roses frontman
has turned his appetite for destruction on a Beverly Hills auto dealership,

with Beverly Hills Classic Cars to deliver two luxury sports cars after
he paid a deposit of $20,000, per the suit filed Thursday in Los Angeles
County Superior Court.
But, the "Patience" purveyor says, the
dealer never made good on the promised 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo and a
2005 Porsche GT3.[see full story for more]- Click

| Doherty
Arrested Yet Again |
Gigwise reports: Further descending into farce
and cliche, Pete Doherty was arrested yet again this weekend, this time
on suspicion of possessing drugs (well what else, really?).
According to the Sunday Mirror, his Jaguar
had stopped in Hackney on Saturday morning when police were in fact pulling
over the car behind his (a bit unlucky some would say).
He was arrested for driving under the influence
of drugs and for possession of class A and class C drugs. [see full story

| Alicia
Keys Sitcom |
hecklerspray reports: If you're like us, you'll
have spent the last few years wondering why there hasn't been a TV show
all about the childhood of Alicia Keys as written by someone who once wrote
The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air.
Well, wonder no longer, because that TV
show is on the way! Alicia Keys has signed a development deal with UPN
to create a series based entirely around her early years. Finally, the
eternal pub question of "I wonder what hilarious/dramatic scrapes Alicia
Keys got in when she was six years old," can be put to rest.[see full story
