Sex Tape Blackmail |
hecklerspray.com reports: One day we fully
expect that the rumoured Britney Spears sex tape will be talked about in
the same sentence as Atlantis, the abominable snowman and King Arthur's
knights - unless Kevin Federline flogs it on the internet, of course.
Nobody really knows if a Britney Spears
sex tape even exists; a court case was meant to settle it once and for
all, but it sort of backfired because the judge thought Britney Spears
was a slapper, or something. But now reports are suggesting that Britney
Spears' soon-to-be divorced husband Kevin Federline has a copy of a four-hour
Britney Spears sex tape, and he's apparently going to sell it for millions
of pounds unless Britney gives him custody of their kids. Although why
anyone would want to watch Britney Spears have sex with Kevin Federline
for four hours when they could watch her 2002 masterpiece Crossroads twice
in a row is beyond us, right? Right? Anyone? Hello?[see full story for

Litigious Shade of Pale |
Gigwise reports: Sixties rock act Procol Harum
are set to go to court over a dispute about the song-writing on their biggest
hit 'A Whiter Shade of Pale.' The group's ex-keyboard player Matthew Fisher
is claiming that he wrote the seminal organ line and deserves a cut of
the copyright.
The 1967 hit has been long attributed solely
to lyricist Keith Reid and singer Gary Brooker. Fisher and Brooker will
go head to head at the High Court in London over the case, with experts
and witnesses due to give statements in court. [see full story for more]-

Backlash |
pr-inside reports: LEANNE RIMES has come to
the defence of fellow country singer FAITH HILL, whose shocked reaction
was caught on camera at the Country Music Awards last Monday (06NOV06)
when CARRIE UNDERWOOD beat her. Hill appeared to be angry when she lost
out on the Best Female Artist prize to the AMERICAN IDOL star and was seen
mouthing a shocked "What?" before walking off.
Rimes writes on her official website, "Okay,
I usually keep quiet on topics like this, but I feel I need to stand up
for my friend, Faith. She was just being honest and emotional like every
other person sitting at home with an opinion. These awards shows are so
political and we all get fed up with them. We all work very hard and have
for many years so to see someone come in and win Female Vocalist that has
been here for a very short time, is a little disheartening. She probably
felt, as I did, that Carrie has not paid her dues long enough to fully
deserve that award."[see full story for more]- Click
