TMZ reports: Rapper The Game has been charged
with making a criminal threat and with possession of a firearm in a school
zone during a Feb. 24 pickup basketball game, according to the L.A. District
Attorney's office.
The rapper, whose real name is Jayceon
Terrell Taylor, allegedly got into an altercation with a player on an opposing
team during a basketball game at the Rita Walters Educational Learning
Complex in South Los Angeles. After allegedly punching the victim, cops
say The Game pulled a gun from his red Escalade and threatened to pop the
victim. Not very sportsmanlike!
The 27-year-old is also charged with one
count of exhibiting a firearm in the presence of an officer. He is scheduled
to be arraigned on Tuesday for the three felonies.[see full story for more]-

punkbands reports: When it comes to mixing
recording and romance, things can get tricky. Ashlee Simpson is hoping
that her romance wont go the way of Jessica and Nick when she records
with boyfriend Pete Wentz. Well see. It has been reported that for her
new album, Ashlee will be bringing some romance into the recording booth.
Simpson, 22, has been working hard on the follow up to 2005s I am me.
To bring a little extra star power to the
new record, she has invited Fall Out Boys bassist/exhibitionist Pete Wentz
to join her on tape. She has secretly recorded a song with Pete, 27, that
shes hoping to include on her CD, which comes out later this year. [can't
wait for the video. She can lip-sync and he can "pose"] -

Launch reports: Lily Allen has claimed she's
an alcoholic and is heading for an early death. The U.K. pop starlet had
endured a difficult few months in the public eye, pulling a string of live
shows in America and feuding with Cheryl Tweedy from Girls Aloud.
She explained: "I'm an alcoholic now. It's
not good and that's why I want to get back into the studio. I've actually
pulled myself aside and said it will kill me if I keep it up. I've got
to stop abusing myself because as far as I'm concerned every loon hates
me now."[see full story for more]- Click

PR reports: Crossfire Publications, is in
the process of releasing a series of recordings from the pre- and post-Mothers
of Invention eras, with many unreleased tracks featured. The Pal Recording
Studios recordings are of enormous historical value, as they were Frank
Zappa's very first studio tracks. The symbiotic relationship Zappa had
with Paul Buff and Pal formed the core of his later output.
Paul Buff and Frank Zappa pioneered many
of the recording techniques and musical styles that continue on today by
using the studio itself as a dynamic music instrument, rather than a static
capture environment. At Pal, the classic divide between engineer and musician
was non-existent.
As the most anticipated releases in Crossfire's
release schedule, the Pal Recording Studios CD series was developed by
Crossfire's owner Greg Russo along with Paul Buff , owner of the Cucamonga,
California-based studio from 1957-1964. This exclusive series will feature
many highly prized rarities and unreleased tracks drawn from Paul Buff's
mixdown tapes and reference discs.[see full story for more]-

BW&BK reports: For the second time in
less than a week, AEROSMITH's reps are denying a report that the Boston
band is no more.
This morning (June 4th), RollingStone.com
posted a picture of singer Steven Tyler at an airport in India with the
following caption: "Steven Tyler touches down at the Bangalore airport
only to announce that Aerosmith has broken up." But it's just not true,
according to Mitch Schneider, the band's publicist, who called the cutline
"an error."
Indeed, Rolling Stone publicist Beth Jacobson
insisted that an intern wrote the caption and was just joking, apparently
playing off an item in the New York Post last week. [see full story for

Contact Music reports: Former SOFT CELL star
MARC ALMOND has blasted the "cruel fans" who criticised his music on his
MySpace page. The Tainted Love hitmaker says he was pressured into creating
an account on the social networking website, but was devastated to find
his so-called "fans" tearing apart his work. He tells London's Time Out
magazine, "I put a couple of new demos on there and people started saying
'Oh he's writing the same old songs again. We've heard it all a million
times before'.[see full story for more]- Click
