| Plant
Vs Page |
Blabbermouth reports: LED ZEPPELIN singer
Robert Plant has hit back at his former bandmate Jimmy Page after the guitarist
criticised him for not being present when the legendary rockers were awarded
a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award earlier this year.
Plant, 56, is so busy with his current
musical projects he decided against flying to Los Angeles for the award
ceremony, preferring to rehearse with his new band in England.
He says, "Jimmy had a bit of a go at me
for not being there, but what can you do? What I'm doing now is more important
to me.
"It's great to look back and smile. But
middle-aged self-congratulation is very dangerous." [see full story for

Bribe |
AP reports: The stepfather of Michael Jackson's
accuser testified Tuesday that after the broadcast of a damaging TV documentary
about Jackson, an associate of the pop star offered the family a college
education and a house.

money for the family, he was accused of blackmail.
The stepfather took the stand as the prosecution
shifted from witnesses who alleged past improprieties by Jackson back to
the current allegations that the singer molested a 13-year-old boy in February
or March 2003 [see full story for more]- Click

Gottlieb RIP |
Punkbands reports: Bleed the Dream posted
this on their website today: On Sunday, April 10, 2005, Scott Gottlieb
lost his battle with cancer. He had been fighting it since May 8, 2004
and was doing better and awaiting a bone marrow transplant. Then about
a month ago he got an infection that he could not beat. It attacked his
lungs and then the rest of the organs in his body.
