Vs Janet |
MSNBC reports: Does Justin Timberlake dis
Janet Jackson in an upcoming song?
That's what some fans and foes are saying
after Timberlake's "Give It To Me" was leaked to the Internet. In the song
- which the former Mouseketeer sings with Timbaland and Nelly Furtado -
Timberlake sings:
"Could you speak up and stop mumbling?/I
don't think you came in clear/When you're sitting on the top/it's hard
to hear you from way up there/I saw you tryin' to act cute on TV/Just let
me clear the air/We missed you on the charts last week/[Bleep] that's right,
you wasn't there."[see full story for more]- Click

that British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen was not expecting. He was reportedly

Laurie after the two had appeared on a US TV show. Along the way, he approached
a passer-by and asked in his Kazakh accent : 'I like your clothings. Are

by punching Cohen several times in the face.[see full story for more]-

| Linkin
Floyd? |
Gigwise reports: Linkin Park have said that
they are taking influence from seminal prog-rock artists on their new album.
The band have been holed up in the studio with Rick Rubin who has immersed
them in Pink Floyd, King Crimson and even Emerson, Lake & Palmer records.
Speaking to Bilboard, Sinoba said that
they have around 100 song ideas which they are going to whittle down to
around 18 for the final cut of the album. And he tells fans to expect something
different from their previous two long-players, adding: "There is an element
to the album that will be familiar to people simply because it's the same
guys making the music.[see full story for more]- Click

Brown Sex Case |
AP reports: A woman who claims soul singer
James Brown raped her is asking the Supreme Court to hear her sexual harassment
lawsuit, which a lower court ruled this year she had waited too long to
file.
Jacque Hollander argues that the state's
two-year statute of limitations in such cases does not provide equal protection
to women.
In her lawsuit, Hollander said Brown raped
her at gunpoint in 1988 while she was working as his publicist. She seeks
$106 million in damages.[see full story for more]- Click

| Doug
Harrington RIP |
Defiance reports: It is with a heavy heart
that we inform you of the passing of our dear friend, bandmate, and CPR
artist, Defiance guitarist Doug Harrington. At his request, and for the
privacy of his family, we did not make his condition known, but Doug had
been quietly battling cancer for much of this year, until Tuesday night
when he finally succumbed to it. He went peacefully and in the presence
of his wife and family.
Doug was however able to participate in
several of the writing and recording sessions for the new DEFIANCE record,
including one just 3 days before he passed. When we found out about Doug's
condition, we had already been writing and rehearsing for the new album,
and Doug continued to go to practices and participate in the songwriting
and it was his wish that we finish the album without him. And although
it will be extremely difficult, we will honor his request, and you can
expect to see the record in stores this Spring.[see full story for more]-
