- Lil’ Kim is getting out early for good behavior. The diminutive but saucy rapper will be released from prison on Monday and will spend the 4th of July at home as part of a 30-day house arrest.
- Dido taps Fiona’s producer (Jon Brion) to help her de-gloss.
- Watching the elegant and provocative trailer for new Lennon documentary The US Vs. John Lennon brings an instant sense of nostalgia but in a hopeful, oh-yeah-all-is-not-lost kind of way. Sniff.
- Judas Priest are writing a Puccini-like rock opera to honor Nostradamus, who was “all about metal” Priest frontman Rob Halford apparently said. We all have to wait ’till early next year to score copies of this, um, album, but the band already has more than 90 minutes of music written so get psyched.
- Why is Marilyn Manson so awesome? At the premier for Pirates of the Caribbean he was schmoozing like a proper Hollywood producer, joking that he’d get Johnny Depp loaded (”we drink absinthe” he apparently said, “that’s what we do”) and manipulate him into joining the cast of Manson’s new film, which is about the life of Lewis Carroll.
- Just to reiterate: Michael Jackson is broke.
