Sued Over Art |
sleazeroxx.com reports: An art broker has
filed a lawsuit against Axl Rose, claiming the rocker backed out of a deal
to pay $2.36 million for an Andy Warhol portrait of John Lennon.
Acquire d'Arte, in a lawsuit filed Sept.
11 in Los Angeles Superior Court, said it negotiated with a New York art
gallery and was able to lower the price of the artwork from $2.65 million
to $2.36 million for Rose.
But after agreeing to buy the portrait,
the Guns N' Roses frontman paid only $1.21 million, according to the suit.

| Napster
For Sale� again? |
arstechnica.com reports: Napster is evaluating
the possibility of a sale by hiring of an investment bank. Citing "recent
third party interest," the company has asked UBS Investment Bank to explore
strategic partnerships or an outright sale of the company.

launched with great fanfare in late 2003. Since that time, the company's
fortunes have ebbed against the onrushing tide of Apple's iTunes Store.

Snubs Timberlake |
Gigwise reports: Coldplay's Chris Martin turned
down the chance to collaborate with Justin Timberlake, telling him he only
sang on his band's records.
In a TV interview this week Timberlake
intimated he made an approach to the singer, only to be rebuffed with the
news that Martin only had eyes, or rather vocal chords, for Coldplay.
The pop star told Channel Four's T4, "I'd
like to get Chris Martin in the studio but he won't sing on anything but
Coldplay stuff. I respect him and I hate him for that." [see full story
to learn how Martin probably said that only as an excuse to get out recording
with poodlehead.. But MTV reports that Duran Duran have agreed to collaborate
with him. Having the #1 album probably helped convince them] -

| Supernova
Settle on Name |
antiMusic reports: So Cal rockers Supernova
have settled their dispute with the supergroup from the CBS reality contest
"Rock Star: Supernova," according to AP. Tommy Lee (Motley Crue), Jason
Newsted (Metallica), Gilby Clark (Guns N' Roses) and contest winner Lukas
Rossi will now be known as Rock Star Supernova while the original band
will retain just plain Supernova.
Supernova has released three albums since
1991 and in June when they discovered the TV supergroup planned to use
their name they sued CBS, those involved in the show and Mark Burnett Productions
for unfair competition and trademark infringement. Did someone forget to
do a trademark search? No matter now, since you'll be able to tell the
groups apart. [see full story for more]- Click

White Fire Plea Deal, Owners Get Off Light |
antiMusic reports: The owners of the nightclub
that used highly flammable foam on their walls for soundproofing which
contributed to the tragic death of 100 people during a Great White concert
in 2003, have both entered plea deals. Both owners entered "no contest"
pleas to involuntary manslaughter and only one will have to serve prison
time.
"Michael Derderian will serve four years
in a minimum-security prison, with eligibility for a work release program,
and that Jeffrey Derderian will receive a suspended 10-year sentence,"
Eitv.comn reports.
About the fire: A Great White concert turned
deadly on Feb 20, 2003 at the Station in West Warwick, Rhode Island, when
the ceiling of the venue caught fire and the blaze quickly spread throughout
the club. 100 people lost their lives including Great White guitarist Ty
Longley and more than 160 people were injured after a onstage pyrotechnic
display ignited flammable foam on the walls and ceiling of the club. You
can read our original report about the fire at the full story link. -

TuneLab reports: Seether front-man Shaun Morgan
has commented on the new Evanesence single, "Call Me When You're Sober",
to The Rock Radio.com. In a portion of the interview he said, "It saddens
me that our whole relationship was reduced to that. That, you know, almost
three years we spent together comes down to 'Oh, woe is me, you don't care
about me.' I'm disappointed that that's all that really mattered. I'm kind
of irritated that our dirty laundry had to be aired, you know, all over
the world. I wouldn't do that to somebody."[see full story for more]-
