KNAC reports: BW&BK is reporting Wed's
GNR show in Toronto was set to go the distance, fines or no fines: In spite
of the standard 11 PM curfew at the Air Canada Centre, Guns N' Roses planned
to take the stage (November 15th) at 10:30 PM and perform a 2-hour set.
Any fines inflicted on the band for breaking the venue's curfew will be
absorbed by the band.
In related news, in regards to the release
of the band's long-awaited Chinese Democracy album (rumored to be available
next week), Universal Music Canada has stated, "We have no indication that
a Guns N' Roses record will be released this year." [see full story for

OJ Murder Plot |
hecklerspray reports: Imagine for a second
that you're a celebrity who'd stood trial for the murder of your ex-wife
and her friend. Now, instead of quietly trying to get on with your life,
what's the single most guff-headed thing you could possibly do?
Chances are you're currently thinking "Well
hecklerspray, I'd imagine the single most guff-headed thing to do in the
wake of my murder trial would be to write a book about how the murders
would have been different if I'd have carried them out." And you'd be correct,
only OJ Simpson has beaten you to it - the massively ill-advised book If
I Did It, where OJ Simpson precisely details exactly how he'd have murdered
his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman it if was
him that got to do it, will be published in a couple of weeks. And, just
for the Americans that can't read, OJ Simpson is going to go over the bones
of the book in a televised interview with Fox later on this month.[see

Fraud? |
blabbermouth.net reports: KORN lead singer
Jonathan Davis was reportedly sued in Los Angeles Superior Court two weeks
ago by a former business associate alleging fraud and breach of contract.
The lawsuit is demanding damages of $250,000, costs of the lawsuit, attorney's
fees, and punitive damages "in an amount equal to nine times the compensatory
damages awarded." The lawsuit further alleges, "On or about December 10,
2005, Defendant Jonathan Davis and Plaintiff entered into a valid, binding
written contract to settle [a previous case], brought by Arthur Rosenblatt
against Jonathan Davis in the Los Angeles Superior Court.
. Arthur Rosenblatt,
a collector of criminal artefacts, sued Davis, a former mortuary science
student, and his associates, in June 2004 for about $4 million in a 12-count
lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, related to a failed attempt
to open a museum, according to Reuters.[see full story for more]-

E! reports: With the Country Music Association
Awards airing last week, the latest pop chart was supposed to be a Nashville-happy
affair. Instead, the latest installment in Now That's What I Call Music!
and Josh Groban's Awake rode in ahead of Keith Urban, Sugarland and a surging
Carrie Underwood.
For the week ended Sunday, Now! 23 took
the top spot, selling nearly 337,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
The collection features such recent hits as Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous,"
Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack," Jessica Simpson's "A Public Affair" and
Kenny Chesney's "Summertime." (Chesney, who claimed the top CMA Award for
Entertainer of the Year, also saw his Road & The Radio shoot up 34
spots to 90).[see full story for more]- Click

AP reports: MP3.com is reopening its servers,
nearly a decade after it helped usher in the online music era by letting

officially on Tuesday, the site now offers up to 100 megabytes of storage
space for audio tracks and unlimited space for videos, free of charge.

clothing. You can G up your pooch with a Doggfather hoodie or an animal
print Faux Fur Coat (just don't let PETA catch you with a real one!).

blabbermouth.net reports: Former CRADLE OF
FILTH/AT THE GATES drummer Adrian Erlandsson has issued the following update:
"It's finally offical, I have parted ways
with CRADLE OF FILTH. To concentrate on all other interesting musical projects

"The main one is NEMHAIN. We have just
filmed a video for the song called 'Ana' so keep your eyes open for that.
The music in NEMHAIN is very different to the other stuff that I have been
in the past but it lies very close to bands that I grew up listening to,
like RAMONES, MOTÖRHEAD. [see full story for more]-
