| Lohan
Vs Iraq |
hecklerspray reports: It's never pretty when
celebrities show an interest in politics, is it? The gap between acting
in a film about a magic car and quelling global conflicts is insurmountably
huge - well, unless you're Lindsay Lohan.
Because Lindsay Lohan isn't the staggeringly
self-regarding party girl that you think she is. In reality, Lindsay Lohan
is a woman who feels the pain of the world and reacts to it with the calm
vision of a global statesman. Or, in other words, Lindsay Lohan told Elle
magazine that she feels like going and singing some songs at the soldiers
in Iraq. And if she gets to shoot a couple of Iraqis while she's at it,
more the better.[see full story for more]- Click

MTV reports: Rock Kills Kid frontman Jeff
Tucker was victimized by a burglar who entered his Honolulu hotel room
on Sunday at approximately 5:30 a.m. "At first I thought I was dreaming,"
explained the singer, who awoke to find the intruder standing over him.
"Second, I thought it was a hotel worker putting towels in the room. I
looked at him and said 'Hello,' and he bolted." The man managed to swipe
Tucker's wallet, cell phone, credit card and room key.[see full story for

Meat Toss Protest |
Blabbermouth reports: The organizers of the
Swedish hard rock/heavy metal festival Gates of Metal may face prosecution
over the stage show put on by the Norwegian black metal band Mayhem last
Saturday (August 5). Pig heads and other animal parts decorated the stage
during the band's performance - a violation of the Swedish animal by-product
regulation.
"It's illegal to handle animal parts in
this manner," Hanna Werthén, administrative officer at the Ministry
of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, told the Swedish newspaper Östran/Nyheterna.
"You may use animal by-products for educational purposes or in an artistic
context, but in that case you need a permit from us first. We have not
received an application from the festival promoters in Hultsfred. Therefore
we will take action. Exactly what will happen I can't say at the moment,
but it may very well lead to prosecution." [see full story for more] -

Panic at the Disco? |
punkbands reports: Brent Wilson, former bass
player of the band Panic! at the Disco, reportedly has plans to file a
lawsuit against his former bandmates. The bassist's brother posted this
bulletin:
A court case is in the making. Brent and
his lawyer have taken the next step. A letter has been sent to Panic! stating
that Brent will be taking them to court if he has not received an agreement
from the band within 14 days. If this 14 day grace period is neglected,
further measures will be taken. If Panic! does not agree to Brent's proposal,
the case may take anywhere from two to four years. If, in the event the
band does not come to a settlement, the IRS will have to get involved and
things will get even uglier. In the mean time, the family thanks all of
you for your support.- Click

Judgment |
Blabbermouth reports: Two members of the internationally
known rock band RUSH and their production companies won't win damages from
deputies in a lawsuit tied to a New Year's Eve brawl at the Ritz-Carlton,
Naples.
A federal judge has ruled that band members
Geddy Lee Weinrib and Neil Peart, who weren't in the skirmish in 2003,
don't have legal standing to argue they lost business due to the lead guitarist's
injuries in the fight.
Lead guitarist Alex Zivojinovich, who tumbled
down the stairwell in the scuffle, is seeking millions against the deputies
and the hotel in a civil lawsuit that has been filed in U.S. District Court
in Fort Myers.[see full story for more]- Click
