 Ozzy
Vs Midget |
rockdirt reports: Guitar World magazine asked
several rockers "What's your most 'Spinal Tap' moment?" Ozzy Osbourne remembered
when he lost his patience with the midget Black Sabbath hired for a tour.
"He showed up late, he drank....It got to me after awhile," Osbourne explained.
"So, one night, when he wanted to get on the tour bus, I threw him in the
luggage compartment. Somebody grabbed me and said: 'What you're doing is
not only illegal but it's inhumane.' I lost it. I yelled: 'He's my [bleeping]
midget and I'll [bleeping] do what I want with him.' [see full story for

| Britney
Flop |
antiMusic reports: The ratings are in and
did people flock to UPN to see Britney's reality TV debut? Some did (3.5
million) but the show was dead last in the ratings for that time slot among
the networks. Fox's "House" won the slot, CBS went country for second,
a "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" repeat was third. ABC's sh*tcoms
"George Lopez" and "According to Jim" were fourth and WB's "One Tree Hill"
placed fifth, leaving Britney in the dust at sixth place. Then again 3.5
million would be a hit on MTV and Britney did almost double UPN's viewership
in that timeslot. [see full story for more]- Click

it. [see full story for more]- Click

| Coldplay
Vs EMI |
BBC reports: Coldplay's Chris Martin has dismissed
pressure to boost his record company's profits, saying: "Shareholders are
the great evil of this modern world."
EMI issued a profit warning in February
partly because the release of the UK band's latest album X&Y was delayed.
But Coldplay frontman Martin said: "I don't
really care about EMI. I'm not really concerned about that."
He spoke about the "the slavery that we
are all under to shareholders" ahead of the album's release in early June.

Eternal + 1 |
BW&BK reports: According to a posting
at Earache's website, HATE ETERNAL has welcomed Eric Hersemann as their
second guitarist. According to the site "Hersemann's induction into the

Roddy) will undoubtedly propel the already savage Hate Eternal live performance
