Foils Press |
TMZ reports: TMZ has been working under the
radar for months to obtain public documents in the Michael Jackson/Debbie
Rowe custody dispute, yet the judge in the case has played a shell game
with us, coming up with excuses, some outlandish, to keep public records
private.
Jackson and Rowe used an increasingly common
practice to get their case out of the public eye. They agreed to have a
retired judge hear the case -- a judge who would be temporarily sworn back
into service and hear the case in a private office. Jackson and Rowe hired
retired LA Superior Court Judge Stephen Lachs, whose rate is $375 an hour.
An increasing number of celebrities, most recently Jessica Simpson and
Nick Lachey, choose this option because their cases go unnoticed. The parties
in Jackson's case were shocked when TMZ produced the court rule that allowed
us in. But Lachs has been more than a blessing to them by jerking TMZ around.[see

the forthcoming full-length album How We Operate from prodigious British
rock band Gomez this May. How We Operate marks the quintet's seventh album
and is the first studio release for ATO records, following last summer's

guitar), Tom Gray (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Ian Ball (vocals, guitar,
harmonica) Paul Blackburn (bass, guitar), Olly Peacock (drums) � the recording
process tends to unfold in the studio and incorporates each of its members
equally in writing, producing and playing their music. On How We Operate,
the band approached this process in an entirely different way. [see full

Peta reports: Referred to by an admiring music
writer as the loudest voice ever to come out of little Rhode Island, hip-hop
artist Sage Francis stands up tall for what he believes in. After all,
not every musician would be so bold as to come up with a song called "Makeshift
Patriot" exactly one month after the September 11, 2001, attacks. Sage
makes no exception when it comes to sticking up for abused animals, which
is why he jumped at the chance to sit down for an exclusive interview and
shoot a pro-vegetarian ad for peta2�PETA's Youth Division.[see full story
