- We’re starting to fear that Sanjaya could win. It’s important not to discount the insanity of the voting public as evidenced by last night’s dejection of Chris Sligh. We have to say that we’re thrilled “Fro Patro” is behind us but sad to see Sligh go so soon when people like that inane Haley girl are still around.
- Bono has been knighted. According to a post on U2’s Web site, the humanitarian/rocker was “presented with an honorary knighthood on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen” by the British Ambassador in Dublin earlier this morning. The honor was bestowed in recognition of Bono’s contribution to music and for his work as an activist. Congrats Bono!
- The Beastie Boys are finally doing away with those pesky lyrics. The group has announced that they will perform a series of instrumental shows this summer. They promise that this – and everything else they plan to do in the future – will be “sick.”
- Why have an actual Web site when you can just display falling bananas instead? That seems to be Ryan Adams’ thinking.
- We are told that an announcement on Panic! At the Disco’s Web site tells us all that the group will play the NCAA kickoff event this Friday in Atlanta. We can’t confirm this because the band’s site – with it’s overwhelming dose of baroque piano audio and complex naked burlesque girl graphics – keeps shutting our computer down.
- Looks like we’re all being treated to a Foxy Brown trial. The diva pled not guilty to charges resulting from a fight she allegedly got into with the owner of a beauty supply store in Florida.
- Not another confusing qualifier about a British singer’s chart position. According to BBC News, when Joss Stone’s album Introducing Joss Stone debuted at Number 2 on the charts yesterday, it became “the highest new entry by a British female artist in US chart history.” That sounds like it means something, so congrats Joss!
