Britney |
antiMusic reports: Taking a page out of Demi
Moore's playbook, pregnant pop star Britney Spears has appeared nude in
the pages of a magazine. In the August issue of Harper's Bazaar Spears
appears in several layouts as well as the cover in the nude, using creative
angles and her arms to cover up her famous chest.
The pictures come as a surprise and finally
fulfils the longtime wishes of some Britney watchers. Some that do not
have a pregnant fetish may be a bit disappointed in the photos of the former
blond bombshell, now sporting dark hair and a big belly.
If you want to see the photos, click the
full story link as jnd has posted them in their report. Hopefully this
shoot won't "help" Britney's career in the same way it helped Demi's.

Gang Attacks |
Day in Rock reports: Lakewood, Wa police are
warning residents to stay out of Fort Steilacoom Park at night after 23
people were victimized in three attacks last week, according to the Tacoma
based News Tribune. The people - who told police they didn't know their
attackers - were beaten with sticks, threatened with a machete or robbed
of their cell phones, wallets or shoes during incidents after the park
closed Tuesday and Wednesday, police Lt. Dave Guttu said.
The attackers told their victims they were
Juggalos, devoted fans of the Detroit rap group Insane Clown Posse.
"We haven't confirmed that but that's what
they are claiming," Guttu said.

News: Rejects Vs Women |
TMZ reports: Be careful about putting the
word "rejects" in your rock band; people might take the name seriously.
That's especially true if you give an interview
that includes joking about women having no "sense of rationality and direction."
That's how singer Tyson Ritter of the band All-American Rejects characterizes
how he thinks "like a woman" while writing songs. [Good job, insults 95%
of your fanbase! see full story for their bashing of "gay" Coldplay]-

XS for Depp |
hecklerspray reports: Very very soon, you'll
be seeing more of Johnny Depp than you'd ever imagined, as Pirates Of The
Caribbean 2 is released allowing Johnny Depp the chance to do his "Gee,
I don't know why I'm so famous" shtick all the time.
But although Johnny Depp has entered the
Hollywood big league by doing a series of comedy double takes while pretending
to be Keith Richards, you'll never see him play Michael Hutchence from
INXS. Despite reports to the contrary, Depp will not be playing Hutchence
in a biopic of his life. And a good job too - the soundtrack would be s***,
for one.[see full story for more]- Click

Top Beatles |
Blabbermouth reports: To celebrate their pending
tenth anniversary on July 1, 2006, AVRev.com has compiled its list of the
Top 100 Rock Bands of All Time. Unlike past lists that are based on mere
opinion, the AVRev.com "Top Rock Bands" list uses the same type of analytical
tools employed by sports franchises and applies them to rock bands to objectively
determine which bands are the best. Among the categories considered were:
U.S. Sales (100 points), Songs/Songwriting (100), Technical Ability (100),
Live Performance (50), Consistency vs. Longevity (50) and Random (50).
Random is a category that allows a judge to vote on how likely he or she
is to want to hear a band's songs on their iPod playlist.[Some of these
point rankings appear to be entirely subjective as The Police, Stone Temple
Pilots and Bon Jovi all score higher in "technical ability" than Iron Maiden.
Even scarier, Motley Crue and Duran Duran only came out a few points behind
Maiden in that department].
01. LED ZEPPELIN - 525 points
02. THE BEATLES - 514 points
03. PINK FLOYD - 506 points
04. THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE - 503
points
05. VAN HALEN - 496 points

| Copyright
Tax |
tinfoil reports: On Thursday, [Spanish] Congress
approved the changes to the intellectual property laws in Spain � copyright
laws if you will. The idea is that a small canon will have to be paid on
every blank media � from a blank CD to mobile phones and even a memory
stick. However, computer hard disks and ADSL lines have, for some reason
been left out of the legislation, despite their widespread use for illegal
copying of music and films. Somehow the money collected in the new canon
will then be paid back to the owner of the copyright. [see full story for
