Your Dead Attack Suspect Arrest |
The victim, 23, was sitting in a car about 12:30 a.m. Sunday when he was held up by five men, two with guns, according to Milwaukee police. He handed over a bag of jewelry, and the robbers fled the parking lot, near N. 24th St. and W. Wisconsin Ave.
The victim chased the robbers and caught up with them but was kicked, suffering a cut to his head. Department spokesman Bobby Lindsey said the 19-year-old suspect was arrested Monday and remains in police custody.- more on this story

Finally Hitting the Studio |
Almost as long as the wait for new music is the band's absence from the stage. Tour plans, however, aren't as firm. "If we go out again or when we go out again," Williams said. "You just never know. We've been around a long time, so we're going to get together and get in the studio and I fully expect we will [tour.].
"I don't mean to be so negative about that. [When] the last tour ended in early '01, you'd see kids on their dads' shoulders. And these kids were like 10, 12 years old. It will be tremendous to see that again. And it's very cool -- younger kids getting into older music."- more on this story

Pregnant? |
Consider the evidence: The couple dropped around $500 at Lisa Kline Kids, purchasing everything from a cheetah diaper bag to baby AC/DC tees, and, of course, a camo pacifier holder. Sounds a lot like she's preparing for life to get more complicated.
What's more, says a TMZ spy, "She definitely looks like she has a bump." We've contacted her reps, but haven't heard back.- If you actually care, then TMZ has a video for you.

Still On Top, Jacko Denied, Winehouse Jumps Up |
Here is a little on how the charts shaped up from Billboard: Johnson's "Sleep Through the Static" sold 179,545 copies in the week ended February 17, according to Nielsen SoundScan, enough to lead the field for a second week.
The new 25th anniversary reissue of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" would have opened at No. 2, thanks to sales of about 166,000 copies. But as a catalog release, it was ineligible to chart on the Billboard 200. Instead, the No. 2 slot went to Winehouse's "Back to Black," which yielded five Grammys on February 10. It jumped 22 places after selling about 115,000 copies.- more on this story

Cent Ordered To Pay Up |
The order came down from the judge this week, after a nearly five-year drag out, ruling that Fif must cough up an undisclosed amount of cash to the plaintiff.
Jim Alcorn, then a New York Post deputy photo assignment editor, brought the suit against the rap mogul in 2003 after being knocked to the ground by Fif's body guards outside a jewelry shop when he tried to snap a few pictures of the rapper. - more on this story

The New iTunes? |
The talks are part of Rupert Murdoch's plans to distinguish MySpace, born as a haven for new music fans, from fast-moving rival Facebook as the premiere destination for digital media.
One source familiar with the matter said MySpace has held talks with companies over the past few weeks to gauge interest in such a service, which would compete with Apple Inc's popular iTunes.- more on this story

Within Paramore |
Here is part of Hayley's blog post: As most of you already know, we have cancelled the rest of our UK/Europe RIOT Tour. First of all, we want to say we are so sorry for letting all of you down. We feel terrible about it and really didn't expect for this to happen. It probably doesn't sound like much but we just hate that we won't get to play this show for those of you who had hoped to see it.
There are a lot of internal issues that have been going on in this band for quite a while now. A lot of it started right around the time we were gearing up for the RIOT Tour in the US. We were able to fight through all of it for this long but unfortunately we weren't able to keep it together long enough to make it through 'til the end of this tour. We really feel that taking this time is going to give us a chance to get away and work out our personal issues at home and on our own terms. We just aren't willing to risk the life of our band over one tour. That probably sounds terrible right now, to say that finishing a week of shows wasn't worth it� but if we can use this next month wisely then we will be a lot healthier for the tours ahead. We hope that - even though it might be hard to understand - that you guys can support us at this time.
Maybe one day we will tell the whole story but for now, just know that all five of us are going to work so hard to get it right. - more on this story

Link Music Piracy to Terrorism? |
Idolator Yesterday the RIAA-produced video In Trial, which covers the societal dangers of music piracy, made its way out to torrent sites, and among its contents are instructions on how to get RIAA investigators qualified as expert witnesses, a guide to identifying pirated CDs, and the bit [at the full story link], about the links between people who profit from pirated music and people who deal weapons, populate terror cells, and murder their fellow man for sport.
Surely I'm not the only person who thinks that this particular bit on the "kill 'em all" impulses of miscreants dealing in fifth-generation copies of Graduation would hit home a little more effectively if it were accompanied by a bangin' soundtrack? - Grab a laugh with the video here
