watched 'Six Degrees of Separation' one too many times and now faces charges
for trying to extort millions of dollars from Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds.
The 23 year-old Clark claimed to be the illegitimate son of Babyface and
tried to blackmail the singer/producer to the tune of $9 million bucks
to keep his silence.
He was in for a big surprise. He was arrested
Friday after accepting a fake check for $9 million bucks and signing a
fake non-disclosure agreement. The sting was set up by Babyface's attorney.

Fanscape reports: An un-mastered song from
Meat Loaf's next chapter in the Bat Out Of Hell series began to appear
on peer-to-peer file sharing sites last week, providing Meat Loaf fans
around the world an unexpected first taste of Bat Out of Hell III: The
Monster is Loose, the long-awaited third installment to rock music's most
successful series of all time. The escaped title track, "The Monster is
Loose", was co-written by Nikki Sixx (Mötley Crüe), John 5 (guitarist
for Marilyn Manson) and Bat Out of Hell III producer, Desmond Child. John
5 also performs on the track, which features Meat Loaf's distinctive vocal
over the epic, hard-rocking track, the combination that forged the unique
Bat Out Of Hell sound. The album is due to be officially released in October,
2006 by Mercury Records.
Said a Mercury Records, UK spokesperson,
"We're investigating the source of the leak from the studio, but once the
"Monster is Loose", you really can't stuff it back in its cage. Because
the track has already been leaked it has been made available at Meat Loaf's
website (www.meatloaf.net) and MySpace page (www.myspace.com/meatloaf).-
