| Beatle
Wifebeater? |
TMZ reports: Sir Paul McCartney says he's
going to fight his estranged wife tooth and nail, but not in the press.
The ex-Beatle issued a statement through his reps, and Paul has made it
clear he will "vigorously" defend himself in divorce court. In court documents
leaked to several London newspapers, Heather Mills alleges Paul brutalized
her and was often drunk or high on drugs.
In the statement, McCartney's reps say
"Our client would very much like to respond in public and in detail to
the allegations made recently against him by his wife and published in
the press but he recognizes, on advice, that the only correct forum for
his response to the allegations made against him is in the current divorce
proceedings." [So does she have a leg to stand on? see full story for Mills'
allegations.]- Click

N' Roses Release Confirmed |
antiMusic reports: Guns N' Roses manager Merck
Mercuriadis confirmed to Rolling Stone that the long awaited 'Chinese Democracy,'
will be in stores before the end of the year but would not confirm the
Nov 21st date a source gave the magazine earlier this month. "I don't know
that we will announce a release date," Mercuriadis says. "You just might
walk into your record shop one Tuesday and find it there."
The magazine released a web news post on
Wednesday with tidbits from an article by Brian Hiatt in the new issue
of the magazine, which hits newsstands on Friday. Sebastian Bach, who is
opening for GNR on their North American tour was on hand at a party at
Axl's house last month where those in attendance were treated to a full
preview of the album. "There's this one song called 'Sorry' that's almost
like doom metal with Axl singing really clean over this grinding, slow
beat that is fucking mean," says Bach. "I cannot get it out of my head."
Bach had more to say about the album, see that at the full story link.
Another tidbit in the article is that a
source close to the band confirmed that Andy Wallace (mixed Nirvana's 'Nevermind'
and Velvet Revolver's debut) is working on the project. -

| OutKast:
Guns For Tot |
Gigwise reports: Outkast star Andre 3000 has
landed in hot water after telling a magazine that he'd like to buy a gun
for his 9-year-old son. The rapper - real name Andre Benjamin - said that
his son Steven should carry a gun in future due to the heat of everyday
life.
He's quoted as saying: "I would want my
son to carry a gun when he gets older. It's just something you have got
to have if you want to be safe." But anti-gun campaigners have reacted
angrily to the comments, saying that a man in his position should not support
carrying guns. [see full story for more and remember guns don't kill people,

his battle against drugs has been described as a 'mixed bag' by his defence
solicitor at court today.

whole, progress is being made," and added that Doherty's appearance had
"certainly improved."[see full story for more... yes, it's a slow news

blabbermouth.net reports: The Sydney Morning
Herald recently conducted an interview with MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine.
A few excerpts from the chat follow:
On what he would do if he became president
of the United States: "I'd be a really cool president, I guarantee you,
man. We'd have a party for a few days and then American sentiment in the
world would go up. I'd say, 'We're taking back our soldiers from Germany,
Korea, the Philippines and the Middle East. You guys fight your own fing
battles. And by the way, if you're in the United States right now and you're
illegal you've got a 90-day grace period. Get out.' Teachers would get
paid a lot of money, so would cops. Politicians would get shit."[see full
