KNAC reports: A lawsuit filed in Los Angeles
County Superior Court alleges that Warner Music Group, Atlantic Records
and other music industry organizations helped coerce a 16-year-old girl
into making pornographic rock videos when a band advertised for extras
on MySpace.
The suit, filed Thursday, alleges that
Buckcherry asked fans to show up at Hollywood's Key Club in October. The
plaintiff, a minor identified as Jane Doe who was living in Southern California,
was allegedly given alcohol to drink and filmed exposing her breasts, kissing
another female and writhing against a pole while Buckcherry performed the
song Crazy Bitch.[see full story for more]- Click

Halen Cures Cancer |
KNAC reports: Eddie Van Halen called in to
Howard Stern's program on the Sirius satellite radio service on Friday
(September 8th), and he dropped a couple of major bombshells. After saying
he was free of the cancer that led to tongue surgery a few years ago, the
guitarist said that he and a partner had developed a treatment that cured
his cancer, though he wouldn't reveal what it contains. As for how he got
cancer in the first place, Van Halen denied it was from smoking, which
he has never stopped, and he claimed the disease might have come from the
metal guitar pick he used.
On a different topic, Van Halen made the
slightly less amazing announcement that a reunion with original lead singer
David Lee Roth isn't out of the question[see full story for more]-

Vs Diddy |
hecklerspray reports: Sean Combs changes his
name all the sodding time. In fact, since you woke up Sean Combs has gone
by the name of Diddy, Doddy, Doo-Doo, Danglebum, Dinkledrawers and Rao
Maldeo Rathore.
With all this prolific name changing, it
was only a matter of time before Sean Combs stepped on someone's toes.
And now it's finally happened - Diddy has been banned from calling himself
Diddy in the UK because a man who once remixed a Blondie song 12 years
ago is already called Diddy. Undeterred, Sean Combs is still planning on
releasing his new single Come To Me in the UK under the assumed name Barry
Manilow, since he's mostly sure that nobody by that name has ever existed.[see

Mash Mess |
music.tinfoil reports: The producer of a mashup
album that combined the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds and the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's
Lonely Hearts Club band has been threatened with a multi-million-dollar
lawsuit by EMI, the Beatles' music publisher. EMI has also demanded that
he turn over the IP addresses of the hundreds of thousands of people who
downloaded the mash-ups, presumably so that EMI can sue all of us, too.
The mashups were released by the fictitious
band "The Beachles," as part of a notional album called Sgt. Petsounds,
and they were a kind of noise-rock experiment in mixing up the two seminal
albums (both albums are known for their own use of "found sound" and mashup
techniques). [see full story for more]- Click

Reunion? |
pr-inside reports: ROD STEWART is harbouring
plans to reform 1970s supergroup THE FACES for the first time in 30 years
after previously turning down offers to reteam with KENNEY JONES and RON
WOOD.
The group have performed briefly at rare
awards shows, leading fans to hope the get-togethers would inspire the
old bandmates to team up for a full tour.
But despite efforts by keyboard player
IAN McLAGAN, Jones and Wood, the STAY WITH ME rockers simply couldn't commit
to anything firm, but now it appears Stewart is on board for a reunion
show. He says, "It'd be great to put the band together for charity, a one-off
event. Ronnie is always up for it, so's Ian and Kenney. We'd just need
to find ourselves a bass player."[see full story for more]-
