- First, Prince announced his plans to take over London for the better part of a month. Now it seems that the purple one will first be dominating Los Angeles with a seven-week residency at the historic Roosevelt Hotel beginning in mid-June. The performances will involve dinner, dancing and Prince performing after his regular show as part of a jazz ensemble.
- Paula Abdul suffered a broken nose over the weekend after tripping over her chihuahua, Tulip. Seriously.
- Aftermath Records and Interscope Records are among those being sued for digital royalties from Eminem recordings. The suit claims that the labels should be paying half of the total collected from downloads and master ringtones rather than from artist royalties.
- Bo Diddley, who was recently hospitalized after suffering a stroke, was expected to move out off the intensive care unit late yesterday, his publicist said.
- Ticket demand for the upcoming Smashing Pumpkins reunion shows was so high that the band has already added three new dates. They will now play eleven nights at San Francisco’s Fillmore Auditorium, in addition to nine in Asheville, North Carolina. You can listen here to new Smashing Pumpkins single “Tarantula.”
- Yesterday we reported that former Creed frontman Scott Stapp was arrested for aggravated assault. Turns out the guy allegedly threw an Orangina bottle at his wife’s head, but the charges have been reduced to a misdemeanor because the bottle was not considered by the judge to be a deadly weapon.
