 Green
Day Scam |
Punkbands reports: More than 100 Green Day
fans who purchased tickets to the band's sold-out gig at Manchester, N.H.'s
Verizon Wireless Arena April 29 learned a valuable lesson: buyer beware
of online ticket purchases through unauthorized sellers. Apparently, fake
tickets had been printed for the concert using an altered portable document
format (PDF) file used by Ticketmaster, according to the arena's Jason
Perry. The bogus tickets were then sold either on eBay, through a ticket
agency, or directly to a third party.[see full story for more]-

| Rapper
Killed |
Sohh reports: A Kansas City, Missouri rapper
probed in the killing of a San Francisco rapper was found dead on a Las
Vegas construction site earlier this week.
The bodies of Fat Tone aka Anthony Watkins,
23, of Kansas City and Jermaine Akins, 22, were discovered by a security
guard who noticed a car parked with its lights on in the construction site
early Monday. One man was found in the car while the other was laid out
on the ground near the vehicle.
According to the Clark County Coroner's
Office, Fat Tone died of multiple gunshot wounds. The cause of Akins' death
has yet to be determined. Kansas City police told The Kansas City Star
that Tone was considered a person of interest in Andre Hicks' death, but
was never called a suspect. Hicks aka Mac Dre, was killed in a drive-by
shooting on Kansas City's U.S. 71 highway while he was being driven back
to his hotel last November. Dre, 34, was in KC for a series of concerts
and promotional appearances. [see full story for more]-

| Idol
Spoof Protest |
MTV reports: Corey Clark isn't laughing at
the spoof "American Idol" aired Wednesday night poking fun at his claims
about judge Paula Abdul. His spokesperson issued a statement saying that
instead of mocking Clark, the show has "made a mockery of their viewers,
their sponsors and the FCC," by wasting time on "diversion tactics" instead
of investigating the accusations, despite promising to take the claims
"very seriously." [see full story for more]- Click
