Spears Not Knocked Up Again

TMZ reports: Why this really news? Who knows? Some people actually care about this stuff so in an effort to mock them, we give you the following report.

It appears there were rumors that the jailbait sister of a certain infamous pop tart reportedly had a bun in over. Her second actually. But it's all BS claims the following TMZ report: Jamie Lynn Spears is not pregnant, y'all! While several reports are claiming Jamie Lynn is preggers again, an unimpeachable source tells TMZ Britney's baby sis does not have another bun in the oven.

Shocking huh? Well you can let out that breath you've been holding in and go here to read more if you actually give even a slight damn about this.

What's Brit up to? TMZ has that too: "Britney Spears, about to go on trial for the heinous crime of driving without a valid California license, was offered a deal to make the case go away -- a $150 fine, and 12 months probation. Britney's lawyer, Michael Flanagan, told TMZ....no way Jose." They went on talk about Britney not admitting to a criminal offense. We wouldn't be too proud of those albums either. If you give a slight damn about this one, then go - here

Duran Duran's Rio Gets Classic Albums DVD Treatment

PR reports: Continuing the highly-acclaimed "Classic Albums" DVD documentary series, Eagle Vision is proud to announce Rio by Duran Duran. The November 4 release has a pre-book date of October 15 and a retail sales price of $14.98.

Rio, arguably the greatest of all Duran Duran albums, was originally released in 1982, a time of British riots, record unemployment and the highly unpopular Falklands war. It catapulted Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Roger Taylor and Andy Taylor into international celebrity. (None of the Taylors are related.)

In this installment of "Classic Albums," a fascinating story emerges, one of the writing, the recording and reaction to the unbelievable success of this sound. With new interviews, vintage clips of the original era, new and archival performance footage and musical demonstrations that explain the genesis of certain songs, this 90-minute insider peek is a must for all culture vultures. Excerpts from songs such as "Rio," "My Own Way," "Hungry Like The Wolf," "New Religion," "Save A Prayer," "The Chauffeur" and others are beautifully interwoven into the fabric of the story. Brand new session performances filmed in Boston exclusively for this program, plus interviews and demonstrations not seen in the original broadcast version, are included. - more on this story

Johnny Cash's America

PR reports: Bio Channel shares the unique story of one man, his music and the country that embraced him with the two hour documentary special "Johnny Cash's America," premiering on Thursday, October 23 at 9 PM EST/10 PM PT.

At the time of his death in 2003, no other entertainer in history had brought together people of such diverse creeds, politics, and persuasions as Johnny Cash. With hits spanning six decades from the 1950s into the 21st century, Cash sought to advocate his beliefs and unify people through his music. Wading in the controversies of his time, Cash was a man who believed in God but was a friend to the Devil, a patriot and a drug addict, a friend to Presidents and an ally to prisoners. His America was not red, white or blue; it was black.

A first time partnership between the Cash Estate, Sony Music, Executive Producer John Carter Cash and Award-winning filmmaking team Morgan Neville (Hank Williams: Honky Tonk Blues) and Robert Gordon (Muddy Waters Can't Be Satisfied, with Morgan Neville), the special sheds new light on the life and legacy of the "Man in Black." - more on this story

Due via French powerhouse Season of Mist, Traced In Air is an eight song tour de force of twisted time-signatures, mind-bending riffs and all-out metal indulgence, building upon the groundwork laid out by the formidable Focus while fortifying and updating a genre the band practically willed into existence a decade and a half ago.
