CLAY AIKEN is being urged to come clean about his sexuality by a former

in a bid to prove claims he has made about Aiken's sexuality in an American
tabloid are true.
Paulus tells the National Enquirer that
he spent the night with Aiken after the singer emailed him just before
Christmas (05) after seeing his ad on a gay website.[Next week's headline

| Darkness
Vs Satan |
hecklerspray reports: People either love or
hate The Darkness, and hecklerspray is no exception. We love and hate the
Darkness in just about equal measure. No matter your opinion on The Darkness,
though, the quality of their game can't be doubted.
The Darkness: Duel With The Devil is a
gorgeous-looking thing, and it plays pretty well too. It's a kind of call
and response, Simon Says-type game, where the devil plays a number of Darkness-style
widdly-wee guitar solos, and you have to follow the tune by clicking some
candles in the right order.[see full story for more]-

Blabbermouth reports: According to Jason Gagnon
of The Daily Cougar, "one brave man made an attempt to urinate on troll
METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich" last Friday night (Jan. 20) at a Houston
bar "before being tossed out by some of the 'musician's' entourage." Added
Gagnon: "I know this isn't as awesome as the guy from the NORTH SIDE KINGS
knocking out Danzig, but we should still treat local rocker Bill Fool (bands
include BICKLEY and the DOWN 'N' DIRTIES) as a hero for trying to give
that Napoleonic little bastard a golden shower. [see full story for more]-
