| Avril
Marries |
antiMusic reports: If you were holding out
some small hope of hooking up with sk8r gurl Avril Lavigne, you're miniscule
odds have just been reduced to zero. She married Deryck Whibley of the
ponk boyband Sum 41, keeping it a Canadian affair. However, they were joined
in holy matrimony not in their native country but California.
The nuptials shouldn't come as a surprise
to the fans of both pop singers as Whibley popped the question to Avril
back in June 2005 in Venice as Avril was touring Europe. The blessed event
took place outside at a private estate in the coastal city of Montecito,
California. Reportedly 110 guests were invited to witness the non-denominational
ceremony.[see full story for more]- Click

MySpace Hackers |
TMZ reports: Green Tea Monkeys, an indie ska/punk/reggae
band from Germany, hoped to tap into MySpace's potential to achieve the
success of other once no-name bands like Hawthorn Heights, Hollywood Undead
and even Jack White's new baby The Raconteurs -- all were able to capitalize
on the social networking site in their rise to prominence. But what they
never thought they would have to do is apologize to their entire fan base
for unauthorized racist bulletins post under the band's name. "For us as
a little band, it's worse when our fans won't believe in us ... to have
to show people that we're not talking sh*t and that they can still believe
and trust in what we're saying" they say.
Over the past couple of months, a rash
of hacking has taken over MySpace, the most popular Web site since, well,
the Web. The scale of the hacks has the MySpace community up in arms and
is prompting people to ask when MySpace is going to step up. The hacks
are occurring through the bulletin section of each individual's MySpace
profile. The counterfeit bulletins causing the biggest uproar are those
containing defamatory racial remarks that would make the grand wizard of
the KKK blush. It appears that the three most common racist posts are:
"I'm Gonna Kill Y'all Ni**as," "F*ck All Y'all Ni**as!," and "Get Out of
America You F*ckin Ni**as!"[see full story for more]-

apparently arrested during the ensuing chaos. The following two separate
accounts of last night's events were submitted by BLABBERMOUTH.NET readers

Glen Benton [DEICIDE frontman] and the promoter, and there was major power/sound
problems for DEICIDE... Needless to say, Glen voiced his unhappiness over
the PA during their set... bottles flew, DEICIDE guitarist Ralph got arrested,
chaos ensued, and about 12 police cars, a SWAT team, and other law enforcement
people showed up and cleared the place out. [see full story for more]-

Rejects TV Show |
Gigwise reports: Shock-rocker Marilyn Manson
has turned down a reality TV series with his wife Dita Von Teese, despite
their home-llife resembling that of The Osbournes.
TV producers were keen to create the kind
of hit MTV enjoyed with satanic singer Ozzy Osbourne and his family by
featuring the similarly eccentric couple - but model Von Teese unfortunately
decided she wanted to protect her modesty.[see full story for more]-

Slipknot- Ill Nino- QOTSA- Disturbed- Devildriver- Venom |
antiMusic reports: It looks like the forthcoming
Slipknot DVD will hit stores on Halloween. They'll face some competition
from Devildriver who plans to issue a deluxe CD/DVD version of their latest
CD 'The Fury of Our Maker's Hand' on the same day * Ill Nino have parted
ways with Roadrunner Records * Who will play bass on the new Queens of
the Stone Age CD? The PRP seem to think that Death From Above 1979's Jesse
Keeler will be handling at least part of those duties. * "We'll be doing
our Music as a Weapon run this fall, with added elements that you won't
see on this summer run," Disturbed's David Draiman told MTV. No word on
support acts just yet. * BW&BK is reporting that Venom's classic home
video 'The 7th Date of Hell -Venom Live At The Hammersmith Odeon' will
finally be released in DVD form courtesy of Sanctuary. -

Jacko was partially damaged. Oh wait, awarded him damages� Sorry, we'll

| Kazaa
Drop Suit |
tinfoil.music reports: tinfoil.music partner
site & friend, p2pnet.net was recently sued by Kazaa owner Sharman
Networks and Kazaa ceo Nikki Hemming for libel. It was an astounding twist,
as p2pnet supports Kazaa as well as the many other of the p2p networks
in existance. Also unusual, the story p2pnet was sued for was quoted from
AP, yet AP was not sued. Sharman and Hemming sued what they thought was
a soft target in Jon Newton and p2pnet. Boy were they wrong�. -

| Rhapsody
Name Change |
antiMusic reports: Rhapsody posted the following
message on their official website Friday: Due to copyright and trademark
issues the band formerly known as Rhapsody has changed its name. The band
members consider this a great new start, reflecting the emboldened and
increasingly grandiose direction that their music has taken. "The power
of the dragonflame will burn brighter than ever before," says guitarist/songwriter
Luca Turilli. Keyboardist/songwriter Alex Staropoli adds, "The name Rhapsody
Of Fire better represents the energy that has always been present in this
band and its music."
With a new record company in Magic Circle
Music, a new tour planned and a new album on the way, Rhapsody Of Fire
will continue to explore musical fantasy worlds with the precision musicianship
and unique symphonic concepts that their fans have come to expect and adore.-
