- The government is out to deport Slick Rick again. Seems after you’re convicted of a felony (Rick’s was attempted murder back in 1991) you don’t really get to live here anymore. But Rick’s got the bulk of the hip-hop community and its fancy lawyers on his team, so he’s got a good shot in court.
- Yoko Ono is suing EMI and its subsidiary, Capitol Records, for $10 million in royalties she claims the company has mismanaged, failed to report, and generally withheld from her. The label has no shot
- Fabolous and his buddies have each been charged with multiple counts of criminal possession of a weapon, stemming from the shooting incident a few days ago. Fabolous is also a suspect in the robbery of a $50,000 necklace taken that same night from Boston Celtics guard Sebastian Telfair who was also at Diddy’s club. It all goes back to Diddy’s club. Go buy Press Play y’all.
- Coldplay buy a big old clubhouse/recording studio in Hampstead, London. Guess this means they are going to start recording again soon.
- Genesis officially, for real reuniting without Peter Gabriel. This could cause serious strife within an already divided Gabriel vs. Collins Genesis fanbase.
- Michael Jackson and Will.i.Am are reportedly hanging out in Ireland, working on new MJ tracks.
- Christina Aguilera = increasingly admirable in our eyes. She tells Jane that she wouldn’t want to exploit her marriage on a reality TV show. We mourn the loss of great Christina-mocking material, but we respect her choice.
