Russell Crowe just gives an impression that he is an ass. Thankfully I have never met him but that is how he comes off. This story is another example of his rudeness.
BTW I have listen to his band and personally I didn't think that he was that great of a singer.

Diana Tribute By Sinead O'Connor
Quote:
Irish singer Sinead O’Connor is planning to retire from music with a big bang, by releasing a banned tribute song about Diana, Princess Of Wales. ‘Brigidine Diana’, which Sinead describes as a "reaction to the Elton John ‘Candle In The Wind’ track", was banned from the official Diana tribute album because of its controversial lyrics - but 6 years after the princess' death Sinead is determined it will be heard. O'Connor, who is three months pregnant, has put the track on her farewell album ‘She Who Dwells’. As well as an antithesis of Elton John's Diana song, which she "personally strongly objected to", ‘Brigidine’ Diana pays tributes to the princess' sons Harry and William.
'80s Rock Icon Robert Palmer Dies in Paris
By Leigh Johnson, Hollywood.com Staff
HOLLYWOOD, September 26, 2003 -- British singer and songwriter Robert Palmer, whose suave style and catchy songs helped define the 1980's rock scene, died of a heart attack in Paris early Friday, Reuters reports. He was 54.
The musician's death was sudden, a spokeswoman for his record company, Universal Music, told reporters in London. Seemingly in the best of health, Palmer had been visiting Paris with companion Mary Ambrose, taking a break after a recording session in London for Yorkshire Television. He had been living in Switzerland for the last 16 years, and is survived by two children from an early marriage.
Story continues below
Palmer's first hit album and single was "Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley," in 1974. He followed that with 1979's hit single, "Bad Case of Loving You." But the '80s were particularly kind to the singer, who scored big during that decade with "Addicted to Love" and "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On," from his 1985 solo album Riptide, and "Simply Irresistible," from 1988's Heavy Nova. But the '80s audience identified the singer as much with his slick onscreen presence in his music videos as with his music: the immensely popular video for "Addicted to Love" featured several unforgettable female background dancers, guitarists and singers, all with long legs, red lips and very short, tight skirts.
In 1985, the singer also fronted Power Station, which he formed with Duran Duran members John Taylor and Andy Taylor. The group had three hit singles, including "Some Like It Hot," "Get It On (Bang a Gong)" and "Communication." According to MTV, Palmer left the band just before their tour was set to begin, and instead recorded Riptide.
The son of a British naval officer, Palmer (born Alan Palmer) spent his early years in Malta with no TV. He spent his time instead listening to the R&B and jazz that would influence him through most of his career and were particularly evident on his latest album, Drive.
Another Update
You Am I Drop Label
Quote:
ONE of Australia's most influential rock acts, You Am I, has split with major international record label BMG after its bosses refused to support an upcoming US tour.
Like fellow Australian band silverchair, they will now create their own independent record label.
There has been interest in the band in the UK and US thanks to the burgeoning careers of new rock acts The Vines and Jet, who credit You Am I as the reason they decided to become musicians.
The rock quartet were scheduled to undertake their first headlining US tour in November in support of their album, Deliverance, which has received glowing reviews there.
"BMG refusing to help fund the tour was the straw that broke the camel's back," said the band's spokesman Todd Wagstaff.
"This was a crucial tour for the band because, for the first time, it coincided with an album release - instead of a year or two after - and we had great venues lined up."
BMG managing director Ed St John described the parting as sad but amicable.
"It saddens me ... that our financial commitment to the band has proven to be unsustainable," he said.
You Am I perform at The Metro tonight and tomorrow.

Delta Beats Kylie
Quote:
DELTA Goodrem has made chart history by scoring four No. 1 singles from one album.
The record was previously held by Kylie Minogue, whose 1987-88 album Kylie had three consecutive Australian No. 1s – Locomotion, I Should Be So Lucky, and Got to Be Certain.
Goodrem's latest single, Not Me, Not I, yesterday went to the top. It was the fourth single from her Innocent Eyes debut to do so.
Born to Try, Lost Without You and Innocent Eyes have all reached pole position.
It is an amazing achievement for the 18-year-old who has taken a break from music to battle cancer.
Goodrem last week blitzed the nominations for this year's ARIA awards with 10 nods – the first female to receive so many in a single year.
Innocent Eyes remains No. 1 on the Australian album chart this week.
The album has now spent a remarkable 19 weeks at No. 1, matching Savage Garden's self-titled album which spent 19 weeks at No. 1 in 1997.
Shania Twain's Come On Over spent 20 weeks at No. 1 and John Farnham's Whispering Jack was No. 1 for 25 weeks.
Dire Straits' Brothers In Arms spent a record 34 weeks at No. 1.
Goodrem's Innocent Eyes single also became her third UK Top 10 hit this week.
Goodrem hopes to attend the ARIA awards on October 21, but is unlikely to perform on the night.
wow that is big news sucko kyle at least deltra writes her own shit and can sing unliek Kyle

Pop beauty CHRISTINA AGUILERA has good news for her lusty male and female fans - she's happy to have sex with them if she finds them attractive. The diva admits she is a big fan of love making, and doesn't want to restrict her chances by only pursuing fellow celebrities. And Aguilera has no problem with enjoying intimate moments with admirers of both sexes. She says, "I like having sex - it's fun. And I shouldn't be made to feel guilty about that. Sometimes I look at my male fans and think, 'Wow, you're cute!' "I love experimenting with my sexuality and want to try out as much as possible. I have fun being sexy and tough at the same time. I find it hornier looking at women than men."

Love Into Rehab Again...
New Fatboy Silm AlbumQuote:
Rocker COURTNEY LOVE has decided to enter rehab following a suspected drug overdose last week. The former Hole front woman has reportedly confessed to pals that she has a problem, and is now determined to sort herself out. An insider tells British tabloid The Daily Sport, "This is so long overdue. She now appears to be taking the first steps to clean up her act." Courtney's husband Kurt Cobain died by shooting himself in the head after using heroin in 1994, leaving her to raise their daughter Framces Bean alone.
Will Smith's New AlbumQuote:
Dance maestro FATBOY SLIM is going for a different sound on his upcoming album - by teaming up with Blacklicious star Lateff. The new project, a follow-up to 2000's critically acclaimed ‘Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars’, will be a departure from the previous album, featuring less house music and more hip-hop. In addition to collaborating with Blackalicious, the British star will also team up with Blur front man Damon Albarn and funk legend Bootsy Collins. The album has yet to be given a title and release date.
Posh's Rap Career GoneQuote:
Rapper-turned-actor Will Smith has bounced back after dropped by record label Sony, he has a new album ready for release. After first shooting to fame as part of 80s rap duo Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, Smith went solo and topped the charts with tracks like Men In Black. Sony dropped him earlier this year after a series of chart flops, but multi-talented Smith hasn't been put off - he's readied an entire record of new material, which he plans to release without the help of big music labels. He says, "I am recording now and my album is just about ready. I am sort of waiting to see how things fall in the music industry. My contract was up with Sony. I am looking at a few different outlets, I am thinking about using the internet, doing something special. Films really pay the bills well so I enjoy making them. But if all things were even, I would absolutely choose music over film-making. When you make a film it's really a director's medium, but when I make an album it is about me, what I think, what I feel."
Quote:
Damon Dash has launched a blistering attack on his new signing Victoria Beckham's record company Telstar, describing them as "the dumbest motherf***ers I've ever worked with". The Rocawear hip hop svengali is furious after Telstar objected to his attempts to turn the former Spice Girl into a rap star, and are refusing to release the album they have recorded together.
Dash fumes, "Victoria's record label Telstar is retarded. They are the dumbest motherf***ers I have ever worked with. They are a load of s***. They don't know what they're doing. I could buy Telstar if I wanted to but why would I?" A Telstar insider retorts, "It's just sour grapes. We don't like the album. It isn't what we want and we prefer her other material. He's now trying to flog it."
Courtney flashed her tits in front of me it was good at the BDO :)
80s Bands Making Comebacks
Quote:
The 1980s fashion has already been resurrected with the reemergence of leg warmers, parachute pants and ripped T-shirts, and it looks like the music is next.
Several bands famous in the '80s are working on and releasing albums in the coming months.
Roland Orzabel and Curt Smith are joining back together and reforming Tears for Fears. Smith left the band in 1991 and Orzabel continued it until 1995. Now they've signed a recording contract with Arista Records. A new album is expected in the spring.
Europe, the poodle-haired 1980s rock band from Sweden, is also recording an album with new material, and a world tour is planned. The group is known for its hit "The Final Countdown."
"After the first band jam in years it felt so right, like we've just been away for a lunch break," drummer Ian Haugland said recently.
Singer Joey Tempest said the new music is "fresh and hard but still with the typical Europe melodies in focus."
Europe split up in 1992. They reunited for a millennium concert in Stockholm on New Year's Eve 1999.
American rockers are getting back in the limelight as well.
Bob Seger, whose tune "Old Time Rock 'n' Roll" was an '80s staple, is releasing "Greatest Hits 2," Nov. 4, which will include "Katmandu" and "Shakedown," and will also feature three songs previously unavailable on a Seger album, plus two bonus videos.
And former 80s punk-girl Cyndi Lauper is teaming up with Tony Bennett and Stevie Wonder for her new album "At Last," which will feature her versions of standards such as "Makin Whoopee," "Stay," and "Walk On By."
Some more music news for you guys...
Oringinal Beach Boy
No Record Label For Duran DuranQuote:
Justices have refused to hear an appeal from Beach Boys founding member Alan Jardine, who fought a court order barring him from using the term 'Beach Boys' in his touring band. The dispute arose from a split among the surviving members of the California surf band. In 1998, Jardine began touring as Beach Boys Family and Friends and as other names that included 'Beach Boys'. He owns a quarter of the corporation formed to hold the Beach Boys trademark, but did not have the company's permission to use the band's name. Jardine contends he formed his separate touring band after former band mate Mike Love refused to tour with him.
Quote:
Plans by 80s pop sensations Duran Duran to re-conquer the charts have hit an obstacle – they can't get a record label to sign them. The veteran five-piece have never split and after a recent surge in interest - they picked up lifetime achievement awards at August's MTV Video Music Awards and this week's Q Magazine Awards - they are desperate to relive their heyday.
The band, Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, Andy Taylor, Roger Taylor and John Taylor, have even written a new album, which they feel, includes some of their most exciting work to date. But assist John grumbles, "We still haven't been signed. There is some interest but it is not as easy as we might have expected. We have got an album of material written but we realise that we might only end up getting to put one single out. Record companies are very cautious these days and no matter who you are they are very careful about taking risks." A music industry insider adds, "You might think that record labels would be clamouring to sign up Duran Duran, but while their greatest hits might sell phenomenally well there is no guarantee that their new stuff will appeal to a new generation."

Stevens Leaving INXS
Quote:
JON Stevens will leave INXS in December, ending a three-year stint as the band's "replacement" frontman.
A ubiquitous case of "musical differences" is the official reason for the split, as the band and Stevens prepare to pursue opposing paths.
Now the rumour mill has it that Stevens will inspire a Noiseworks comeback after the 1980s chart busters performed at the Sydney Roosters post-grand final wash-up at The Charing Cross hotel in Randwick on Monday night.
Stevens is the voice behind INXS's first new single for six years - I Get Up - which was written specifically for EA Sports' new video game Rugby 2004 and is being widely played in the World Cup lead-up.
He guested often for the band after the 1997 death of Michael Hutchence and joined officially in 2000. However, he's departing the current line-up before the new INXS has a chance to release its "first" album.
"We thank Jon for his incredible input in the past three years and for helping us through the difficult transition following Michael's death," INXS said in a statement.
"We've had some great gigs and great tours and will always value his contribution".
The band played at the official launch of Channel 7's Rugby Clubhouse in Sydney's Darling Harbour last night, delivering a full set for a delighted crowd of television and sporting personalities.
Yet few of them would have been aware that the show - which included past hits New Sensation, Never Tear Us Apart and Suicide Blonde - will be one of the current line-up's last.
INXS may have also unwittingly auditioned a willing stand-in for Stevens in breakfast television favourite David Koch.
Dressed in a beige skivvy, a "Koch pit" ensued when the male face of Sunrise took to the stage to sing backing vocals during Don't Change - recently covered by Grinspoon.
However, so involved was he that after a bit of air guitar on his mic stand, Koch completely took over, leaving Stevens to cower into a corner and carry the song in the shadow of the bald finance guru.
Koch was elected president of the Rugby Clubhouse ahead of former Wallaby and Channel 7 commentator Chris "Buddha" Handy.
Chisel Play Again
Quote:
AUSTRALIAN rockers Cold Chisel will reunite for a "ringside" show in Melbourne.
Chisel initially planned the shows, performed up close and in the round, to be a one-off Sydney event.
But yesterday, lead singer Jimmy Barnes said chemistry was good in the once-volatile group.
Chisel also considered it "unfinished business" if it did not tour the ringside shows nationally.
Cold Chisel will perform at Festival Hall on January 20. Tickets go on sale on October 22.
Cold Chisel still stands as one of Australia's most successful and hard living bands. Their hits include Khe Sanh, Forever Now and When the War Is Over.

Punk Goes Acoustic Finally In Stores
We are pleased to announce that Punk Goes Acoustic will finally be released October 21st, 2003. We were able to reach an agreement with Victory Records and subsequently Thursday, Taking Back Sunday, Glasseater and Grade will be appearing on this release. Due to this factor and because of time restraints on the length of the album, we regretfully were not able to include everyone we would have liked and thus unfortunately some bands had to be left off of this project. Our choice as to who was removed from the final listing on Punk Goes Acoustic was not due to any personal conflicts with any of the bands, just simply the fact that production constraints would not allow us to fit everyone on the album.
As a special added bonus, the first 50,000 copies of Punk Goes Acoustic pressed will contain a special bonus cd with four tracks from bands on Fearless and Victory.

Kylie Gets Help With New AlbumQuote:
Musician SEAL is sick to death with most urban music - because it's all so negative. The singer is frustrated the genre has become tied up with competition and the lust for money, instead of the beauty music should convey. He says, "I can't stand music that's always 'I am' and 'I'm this' and 'I've got that' and 'I'm better than you'. I loathe that kind of music. I find a lot of hip-hop boring because of that element to it. It can be so hateful. Everything and anyone you know is beautiful.' That's the lyrics to one of my songs."
thats all for now :)Quote:
British R&B sensation Ms Dynamite has written a song for Kylie Minogue’s new album, after sending her the track anonymously. The Mercury Prize winner confesses she's a huge fan of pop princess Kylie, but wanted the track ‘Secret (Take You Home)’ to be chosen on merit. She posted it to the singer's label without her name on it - and Kylie was so thrilled, she chose it for her new album ‘Body Language’. Kylie says, "Ms Dynamite is great. I'm a big fan. It's a great track. I heard the song for the first time without knowing anything about it. Afterwards I found out Ms Dynamite was involved in writing it. "I think it's fantastic."
‘Secret (Take Me Home)’ is likely to be the second single from the LP - which will hit shops on 17 November. Since giving birth to her first child in July (03) Ms Dynamite - real name Niomi McLean-Daley - has concentrated on writing rather than performing, as she juggles her music career with life as a new mum. A friend explains, "She is not ready to quit the music scene as a performer just yet - but she really likes the idea of writing for other people."

Report On Unreleased Strummer, Clash Recordings
Joe Strummer (1952-2002)Quote:
Billboard is reporting that according to former Mescalero Martin Slattery, Joe Strummer left behind "reels upon reels of homemade recordings, some of which date back several years." The former Clash frontman had a "slew" of eight-track recordings made in his in Plymouth, England. Slattery told the magazine "There's loads of reels that haven't been listened to properly yet, all these tapes that he kind of doodled around on... We've listened to bits of it and found some kind of stuff that relates to what [the Mescaleros] were doing, but nothing totally new. But I'm not sure whether they've all been completely listened to." The recordings were all done on tape and some predate the formation of the Mescaleros in the late 90s. They are currently being copied and archived by a Strummer family friend, although it is too early to say what will ultimately become of them.
This is in addition to a number of unreleased Clash recordings that, according to Billboard, "now stand a better chance than ever of seeing daylight." Strummer rejected the notion that they would be added to Legacy's Clash reissues from a few years back, apparently uneasy with the idea that fans would have to buy the albums twice in order to get the new material. Furthermore, Hellcat label chief Chris LaSalle has said that the label has various live recordings of the Mescaleros in it's vaults.
There is no word on if or when any of this unreleased material will ever see a proper release.

Blink 182 1 Dollar Tour
Aguilera's Going BaldQuote:
Pop punks Blink -182 are going back to their roots by playing ten club dates in their native America - and they're only charging one dollar for a ticket. Dubbed the ‘Dollar Tour’ - which begins in Boston on 6 November, the rockers are excited to be returning to the early days of the group when they played intimate venues at budget prices. Singer Tom Delonge says, "For years we played in small clubs and that's where you can really connect with your fans. We're super stoked that we're at the point in our career that we can bring a tour like this around for only a dollar."
Albarn Cut From New Strokes AlbumQuote:
Pop star Christina Aguilera has raised fears for her much-dyed hair, after bald patches were spotted through her jet-black tresses. The singer - who is noted for her dramatically coloured, wacky hairstyles - was photographed emerging from Los Angeles restaurant The Ivy this month with the right hand side of her scalp betraying a series of bald patches.
And at Britain's Q Awards, earlier this month the diminutive 22-year-old was seen desperately trying to cover up her missing strands. A fellow guest tells British newspaper The Daily Mail, "I was sitting behind Christina and she wouldn't leave her hair alone. On the front, right-hand side of her head there was a patch of scalp visible."
Leading trichologist Philip Kingsley believes Aguilera's love of artificial hair extensions are the most likely explanation for her problems. He says, "Extensions often cause bald patches where they have gripped the scalp. It doesn't matter how they are applied, when the extensions are removed, they can pull out a lot of hair. Having tight plaits - or dreadlocks - also causes problems, often leading to bald patches called traction alopecia. This means the hair has been pulled so hard to form the plaits that it falls out when they are taken out - although it does grow back."
Quote:
Blur singer Damon Albarn has been accused of arrogantly comparing himself to The Beatles -by the producer of the new Strokes album. Damon popped into the studio to help the New York band record second album ‘Room On Fire’, at the request of singer Julian Casablancas.
However, knob-twiddler Gordon Raphael was unimpressed by Damon's attitude, especially when the Blur star insisted on adding his vocals. Gordon says, "The Strokes went to a rock 'n' roll concert while we were making the album and they brought back the lead singer of the band they went to see - a man called Damon from Blur who was in some kind of state. I had never met this guy before but he starts talking about all the famous people in London that he knows and how they all phone him because he's so talented. He said the thing The Strokes needed to really make their record sell - because they're gonna have a real hard time this time - was for him to sing backing vocals on it. First he said he was one of a rare breed of British singers who could sing like The Beatles with all those harmonies. We let him go out and try for a couple of hours. He was singing backing vocals and I was having a rough time trying to sit through it and get through this experience. However, Julian's taking it really seriously, seeing if he can craft what Damon's doing into something that would make it on the record. However, in the end Damon said, ‘Well I guess the songs are just perfect the way they are.’ And so no backing vocals were used."

The DJ’s recently worked with the hunky singer on an unnamed track for their upcoming album and the positive experience made them consider Timberlake's talents as well. Jaxx star Felix Buxton says, "He was nice you know. With JC, they phoned up and said 'Can you come down the studio?' We said 'Yeah, sure.' If we hadn't, we'd have been without a singer probably. So it's worth just having everyone and anyone down the studio, you never know what's going to happen. And Justin can sing quite well and he'd probably do us quite a few favours because people know him quite a lot I think."
In other news, the duo have turned down the chance to remix Britney Spears and Madonna’s new single - because they weren't allowed to listen to it. The pride themselves on their musical integrity, so refused to agree to work on the upcoming track, ‘Me Against The Music’, unless they could hear it first. Felix Buxton explains, "We were asked to remix the last Madonna and Britney record, but they said we couldn't hear the track. "They said, 'Do you want to do Madonna?' We asked, 'Well, what does it sound like?' They said 'It's the new Madonna single' as if that was enough. We didn't have much time, and they did eventually send a thing of it, but it was all far too late."

Russell Crowe has patched up his differences with rocker Courtney Love after hearing the song she wrote as a tribute to him. The couple spent the night together chatting and writing poetry after the 2001 Golden Globe Awards, and then Love upset the actor/rocker by fuelling speculation they were dating.
Love has since made amends by writing ‘Hold On To Me’ and dedicating it to Crowe and the inspiring night they spent together in a Hollywood hotel. She says, "I didn't have anybody to write about. I wanted something that was fresh, passionate, lusty, loving, and all night long, he held me and I cried. I wrote poetry everywhere - on his shirt, on the wall, everywhere. And I just cried and cried because I had not met another person who had eyes like mine, ever. He just held me and patted my head and said, 'You need a best friend. You need a big brother. And I'm going to be your big brother. It was like I'd found this, like, home. And so I had this idea and I had the chorus and the next day I went into a studio and recorded it, and the lyrics came to me. He's been very, very nice since he heard it."

DANNII MINOGUE has reunited with her French boyfriend - despite their romance being explained away by the pop star as a holiday fling. Dannii celebrate her 32nd birthday on Monday by partying with Jeremy Garamond and her fellow singer sister KYLIE - who was without her own French boyfriend Oliver Martinez. Despite Dannii's protestations, she was single again following her relationship with Garamond, the pair showed otherwise at London's Embassy club. A friend says, "She's keeping the relationship under wraps. They are back together again but she's not shouting about it from the rooftops. They are both happy to take it slowly, but there was no way she could have celebrated her birthday without him."
KYLIE MINOGUE has been exposed as a secret property tycoon - having amassed a portfolio of twenty houses around the world. Kylie has concentrated the A$68 million fortune she has amassed from her show business career in property, after taking financial advise from her accountant father Ron. Kylie started her real estate career in her native Melbourne, Australia - concentrating on the inner-city suburb of Richmond, which has shot up in value in recent years.
Local estate agent Jeffrey Wilson says, "I don't know when Kylie bought her properties here, but if was ten years ago, she would see a 100 per cent increase in value. It's a very wise investment." Minogue now has twenty houses around the world, including Paris and London.

Outkast On Needing Space
Manson Almost QuitQuote:
Outkast star Andre Benjamin has confirmed the duo are not about to split up - but he needs a little time away from partner Big Boi. Fans felt the fact the two hip-hop stars recorded two separate albums for their new ‘Speakerboxxx/The Love Below’ project was a clear sign that it was the beginning of the end.
Benjamin, aka Andre 3000, has hinted at a split in interviews. However, speaking with hip-hop bible XXL, he reassures fans there will be no split. He says, "I don't think we're gonna break up. But I do think that as you get older, you want to get in separate situations. It's like if you had a brother, and y'all grew up, y'all lives together. It comes a time when you got to move out the house and get your own spot. Y'all still brothers forever. I want to see what I can do outside of what I'm doing now." The duo are obliged to record three more albums as Outkast under their current recording contract.
New Metallica VideoQuote:
Marylin Manson was so hurt by criticism following the Columbine High School tragedy, he considered giving up show business for good. The rocker was associated with the 1999 shooting terror at the Colorado school because the crazed teenagers - who murdered 12 students, a teacher and themselves in the massacre - were wearing Manson T-shirts. Conservatives then turned on Manson and his music for inciting hatred in America's youth. He says, "I would be at a restaurant and I would get dirty looks from normal people - people who weren't even right wing - and it was so defeating. It got to the point where I wasn't even sure if I wanted to be me anymore. I didn't know if it was worth it. I didn't know if it balanced out."

Kylie Minouge has lifted the lid on her childhood squabbles with sister Dannii - branding her a "total pain in the neck". The two pop stars were fiercely competitive whilst they were growing up as child stars in their native Australia, and Kylie admits their parents had to resort to drastic measures to calm their fights. She laughs, "Dannii was a total pain in the neck. At one point, I'd just had enough and decided that the room had to be divided up. Our parents put a wardrobe between the two halves of the room as a dividing line. But the stupid thing was that it could be opened from both sides, which meant that we annoyed each other all over again. We fought because I wanted to have my clothes to myself and Dannii always stole the coolest things out of the wardrobe. She just had fun taking my things." Thankfully, though, their relationship has improved dramatically since they became adults. Kylie adds, "I moved to London and she also moved there at some point. She was quite young at the time and I always felt that I had to protect her. But since then, she has turned into a grown woman with her own life. And because of that we get on much better now."
