| Kill
Lohan |
Contact Music reports: LINDSAY LOHAN was so
worried about death threats she received after signing on to star in a
film about JOHN LENNON's killer, she called on the late BEATLE's widow
YOKO ONO for help.
"I actually sat down with Yoko Ono a couple
of times to talk to her about it because I wanted to get the 'OK' from
her... She was so sweet. "She gave me the confidence I needed. [see full

Goo |
AP reports: MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. - A failure
in an underground electrical line apparently caused a series of gas explosions
that sent utility hole covers flying and forced cancellation of a Goo Goo
Dolls concert, officials say. The blasts Wednesday afternoon forced evacuation
of part of the downtown for several hours. The blasts caused some property
damage but no injuries, said Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel.[There are

| Aiken
Must Leave US |
MSNBC reports: Kathy Griffin has some career
advice for Clay Aiken: leave the country.
The D-List star was asked by the Indianapolis
Star about what the American Idol star whose career has been tarnished
by allegations about his private life should do to shine up his image.
First of all, major relocation, Griffin replied. He has to leave the
country. He has to be like Josephine Baker or David Hasselhoff and find
a fan base overseas.[see full story for more]- Click

| Piracy
worse than child porn |
Inquirer reports: THE NEW look Digital Millenium
Copyright Act (DMCA) seems to be giving the world an unusual moral code....
It appears that the DMCA will have a maximum sentence of ten years inside
for the crime of software and music piracy. It will also give the FBI the
powers to wiretap suspected pirates.... assaulting a police officer will
get you five years, downloading child porn will get you seven years, assaulting
without a weapon will get you ten years and aggravated assault six years.
So in other words if you copy a Disney
CD and sell it you will be in the same league as a paedophile who is distributing
pictures of sexual attacks on children. [the Feds can't control the border
but they want to wiretap DVD and CD pirates? see full story for more on

| Liberal
Homosexual Rally |
punkbands reports: An angry parent who recently
went to a Fall Out Boy show with his/her (not sure which) daughters in
Charlotte, NC fired off a letter to Island Records saying the on-stage
antics of the band were reminiscent of a "liberal homosexual rally." I
guess Fall Out Boy's brand of gutter punk/hardcore/satan metal wasn't considered
"family entertainment." Oh wait... Fall Out Boy play TRL-friendly pop punk.
So what's this person's problem? The letter and a response from the band
is at the full story link- Click

| Celine
Infected |
hecklerspray reports: The long necked, oval
faced Celine Dion ain't doing so well. Sure, by some really low standard
her career is probably still alright - that's not what we're talking about.
Celine Dion is sick. And she's dizzy. Plus
she just realized her husband looks a little more like a pudgy, balding
Phyllis Diller than any man ever should. We doubt you'd fare any better
given her circumstances. Anyway, her health's got her feeling low - it's
an ear infection of sorts.[hecklerspray make smartass into a true artform..

Fire Update |
Blabbermouth reports: A former rock band tour
manager being sentenced next week for his role in a nightclub fire that
killed 100 people asked a judge to show mercy Thursday by imposing community
service rather than sending him to prison.
Daniel Biechele, 29, the former tour manager
for the band GREAT WHITE, will be sentenced next week to serve up to 10
years in prison for igniting the pyrotechnics that sparked the deadly 2003
fire at The Station nightclub in West Warwick. He pleaded guilty in February
