Gears DVD |
Kayos reports: Eagle Rock Entertainment, through

lauded Classic Albums series with an in-depth look behind-the-scenes at
the recording of Cream's second album, the album that broke them in America,
Disraeli Gears. Release date April 4.
This installment of Eagle Vision's Classic
Albums series contains brand new Clapton, Bruce and Baker interviews as
well as quotes from lyricist Pete Brown, Atlantic's Ahmet Ertegun, John
Mayall, Manfred Mann and Rolling Stone's David Fricke. A new sense of Disraeli
Gears emerges when, within a cut-by-cut analysis, Clapton reveals extremely
surprising influences. There's new acoustic performances by Eric Clapton
("Sunshine Of Your Love," "Outside Woman Blues" and Jack Bruce ("We're
Going Wrong"), as well as archival concert of Cream at The Revolution Club
in 1968 and in Paris in 1967.[see full story for more]-

| Master
Plea |
TMZ reports: TMZ was in a Los Angeles courtroom
Monday morning when rap impresario Master P and his brother, rapper Silkk
the Shocker, pleaded no contest to weapons charges stemming from their
arrests last year for driving a vehicle that contained guns not registered
to the two men. The brothers faced up to three years in state prison if
convicted.
Master P (aka Percy Miller) was not present
in court and had his lawyer do the talking for him. In exchange for his
no contest plea, the felony weapons charge he faced was reduced to a misdemeanor,
he was sentenced to one day in jail (which he won't have to do because
he has credit for time served), ordered to pay a fine of $720 and will
have to serve 40 hours of community service either with Hurricane Katrina
relief efforts or speaking to high school students about the danger of
guns. The judge gave the 'Dancing With the Stars' contestant 90 days to
complete these requirements.
His brother -- whose real name Vyshonn
Miller -- was not so lucky. His charge was not reduced -- he pleaded no
contest to the felony and was placed on three years felony probation. He
was also ordered to pay a fine and serve the same community service as
his brother. - Click

Brothers |
Special Ops reports: Jonas Brothers will release
their debut album It's About Time on May 2nd, 2006.
"Music on Red Bull." Without hesitating,
that's how 17-year-old Kevin Jonas describes the hyper-adrenalized sounds
he's created with his two brothers, 13-year-old Nicholas and 16-year-old
Joseph, on the Jonas Brothers' debut album, It's About Time. And it's no
wonder since the boys' influences include an eclectic mix of artists ranging
from the Ramones to the Jackson 5 to the Modern Lovers - all purveyors
of tight, catchy anthems. One thing is for sure, the Jonas Brothers are
all ready to keep the momentum going strong. "We go crazy on stage!" says
Kevin. "It's so much fun!" [see full story to hear the first single "Mandy"]
