Sleazeroxx.com reports: Bon Jovi guitarist
Richie Sambora has entered rehab, a rep for the band tells PEOPLE exclusively.
"Richie Sambora has entered an undisclosed
treatment facility in Los Angeles," the rep said in a statement. "He asks
that you respect he and his family's privacy at this time."
The specific nature of Sambora's substance-abuse
problem was not disclosed. [but according to Perez Hilton, Richie was "blitzed"
during the taping of the Bon Jovi Unplugged episode on Tuesday. Maybe he
was trying to keep up with Jon's new country direction?] -

TMZ reports: Law enforcement sources tell
TMZ Paris Hilton's medical condition was purely psychological and that
she was in peril of having a nervous breakdown, and that's why she was
released early this morning.
Psychiatrist Charles Sophy visited Hilton
in jail yesterday and the day before. We're told after Sophy's visit yesterday,
word was passed to the Sheriff that Hilton's mental state was fragile and
she was at risk. Law enforcement sources have just told TMZ the County
Jail medical team made the final decision to spring Paris based on Dr.
Sophy's psychological evaluation. And we're told, Sheriff Lee Baca gave
the final approval.
Update: The Los Angeles City Attorney has
filed a motion asking the judge who sentenced Paris Hilton to have her
returned to jail to serve out her full sentence. City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo
is also asking Judge Michael Sauer to hold a hearing, demanding that the
Sheriff's Department show why it should not be held in contempt of court
for "violating Judge Sauer's May 4, 2007 order, which expressly stated
'no electronic monitoring.' [see full story for an insane amount of info
on Paris. If she goes back maybe she should take Ice-T's advice, "If I
was her, I would hit someone the second I got in there and go into PC,
protective custody. Then she's just got to sit in there and read some books."
That last part seems a bit far fetched. ] - Click

Sleazeroxx.com reports: Rock legend meets
the greatest thinker on military strategy ever! A perfect pairing of the
2,500-year-old Chinese master and the contemporary mogul of rock music,
the creator of KISS.
As a modern stategist of today's entertainment
wars, GENE SIMMONS has few equals. Over his nearly-forty-year career in
show business GENE SIMMONS has fought countless battles, avoided even more
(Sun Tzu would approve) and emerged victorious nearly every time.
Now, GENE has updated one of the most famous
manuals on tactics ever written, interpreted it for a contemporary audience,
and added his novel observations. GENE SIMMONS' The Art Of War will take
its place as the essential guide book for the 21st century warrior, no
matter what the kind of battles being fought are. [see full story for more]-

Sleazeroxx.com reports: Foreigner is eyeing
"either the end of this year or early next year" to release a new album,
according to group founder Mick Jones. And it's likely to contain a mix
of both brand new and familiar material.
Jones and the reconstituted band -- which
features Led Zeppelin progeny Jason Bonham on drums, former Dokken bassist
Jeff Pilson and Kelly Hansen on vocals -- were recently in an Atlanta studio
recording new versions of older material, including a "stripped-down" take
of the 1987 hit "Say You Will." On top of that, Jones told Billboard.com
that there are "about four or five (new) songs that we have pretty much
ready to go," though he wasn't yet ready to reveal titles or final recording
plans. [see full story for more]- Click

PR reports: Yesterday, the Washington Supreme
Court denied the last appeal in Leon Hendrix’ five year challenge of James
“Al” Hendrix’ Will. Al Hendrix was Jimi Hendrix’ father, sole heir and
founder of Experience Hendrix, LLC, the family company committed to preserving
Jimi Hendrix’ musical, cultural and artistic legacy. Immediately after
Al Hendrix’ death in 2002, Leon Hendrix filed this lawsuit challenging
Al’s chosen heirs and his plan for continuing Jimi Hendrix’ legacy.
After a lengthy trial in 2004, Judge Ramsdell
denied Leon Hendrix’ challenge. Leon appealed. In 2006, the Washington
Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed Judge Ramsdell’s decision. On June
5, the Washington Supreme Court denied Leon’s last appeal. With this decision,
Leon’s challenge is over and the Will can now be carried out as Al Hendrix
had intended. [see full story for more]- Click
