| BSB
Vs Paris |
Contact Music reports: NICK CARTER and PARIS
HILTON have resumed their war of words, with the pop heart-throb branding
his ex-girlfriend "immature".
Hotel heiress Hilton was asked last week
(ends13MAY05) on Alberta radio show THE CANADIAN HIT 30 COUNTDOWN to compare
her new boyfriend PARIS LATSIS to her previous boyfriends, such as Carter,
reports MTV NEWS.
Hilton responded, "Night and day. He's
not using me for anything... he's not a disgusting pig, sorry."
Carter responded shortly afterward that
Hilton "should take a look in the mirror", adding, "I kind of have to brush
it off my shoulders, because she's very immature.
"The problem with Paris is that she thrives
off of hurting other people, and it's not just me." [see full story for

| iPod
Tax |
FMQB reports: A new law in the Netherlands
could dramatically increase the price of owning an iPod or any digital
music player. The so-called "iPod tax" would be added to the cost of purchasing
any digital music player and could be approved within the next three months.
The taxes collected would go to the music industry to help make up for
losses from digital piracy, under the assumption that some music played
on portable MP3 players was illegally acquired.... Interest in the law
is also gaining steam in the U.K. as well.[see full story for more]-
