Cheech
and Bolton? |
antiMusic reports: Cheech won't be teaming
up with Chong. Could it be Michael Bolton instead? Only from the mind of
Simon Cowell� Yes Simon has a new TV show that debuts on August 29th on
that bastion of high quality intellectual stimulation� FOX. No, it's not
When Idols Attack, it's Celebrity Duets. The premise is simple, match a
star (or formerly a star) singer with a celeb (that may or may not have
used up their 15 minutes of fame) for a duet each week with the requisite
elimination.
On the celeb side you have Cheech Marin,
Lucy "Xena" Lawless, Lea Thompson McFly, Alfonso Ribeiro (Fresh Prince�),
wrestler Chris Jericho, Olympic gold medalist Carly Patterson, Queer Eye
for the Straight Guy's Jai Rodriguez, Queer As Folk star Hal Sparks. [see

Beanie
Liar? |
hecklerspray reports: It's a little-known
fact that rappers actually have a bullet injury quota to maintain, and
if too much time passes without them getting shot, they're ordered to do
the guest vocals on a Pussycat Dolls single. It's true.
Luckily, angry chub rapper Beanie Sigel
doesn't have to worry too much this quota since he only got shot three
months ago. At the time, Beanie Sigel claimed that he was shot in the shoulder
trying to stop his car getting stolen. However, police are now pouring
scorn on Beanie Sigel's story, partly based on the fact that he went on
the radio and more or less admitted that he made the whole shebang up.[see

Queensryche
Reissue |
PR reports: Rhino Entertainment will reissue
Queensryche's album Q2K on August 29th, which is currently out of print
and now contains previously unreleased material.
Queensrÿche recorded its seventh studio
album in 1999 during a time of uncertainty. Emotionally devastated by the
departure of one of its founding guitarists, the Seattle-based, progressive-metal
quintet was also reeling from the twin losses of its management group and
record company. Despite the chaos, Queensrÿche returned stronger than
ever with an album that marked a new beginning. Rhino Records revisits
the band's triumph of will with the remastered and expanded version of
Q2K. The album will be available August 29th; the iTunes version of the
album will also feature an interactive booklet with the exclusive video
for "The Right Side Of My Mind." [wanna hear it? Click the full story for

MANILOW is firing back at reports he's to undergo a full hip replacement,
insisting he is scheduled to undergo surgery to repair cartilage in both

condition, explaining he is suffering from painful labrum tears and will
undergo an operation to render him pain free after he appears at the Emmy
Awards on 27 August (06).[see full story for more]- Click
