- Recent Rock and Roll Hall of Famers R.E.M. are “two-thirds to three-quarters” done recording their new album. The band has been hard at work in Dublin working on the “guitar-dominated, hard-rocking” record, with hopes that it will hit music stores, whatever those are, by Spring 2008. To pad the wait, as we already told you, the Georgia band will release the CD/DVD R.E.M. Live, a recording of a 2005 Dublin concert, on October 16th.
- Tired of losing street cred to Foxy Brown, Lil’ Kim was pulled over in New York City yesterday for driving a Lamborghini around town without license plates. After being stopped, the NYPD also discovered Kim forgot her driver’s license. Thankfully, her lawyer came to the rescue to drive his client and her car away from the scene.
- Despite having both a number-one hit and the required roundness, “Beautiful Girls” singer Sean Kingston has not been cast to star as the Notorious B.I.G. in the late rapper’s biopic. While Kingston has expressed a desire to play Biggie in Notorious (which we’re pretty sure won’t be a remake of the Alfred Hitchcock film), producer Wayne Barrow insists that the role of B.I.G. is still open for casting.
- Kings of Leon hope to re-enter the studio sometime around Valentine’s Day to start work on their fourth album. The band, surprised by the success of their recent release Because of the Times, tell XFM that “this is gonna be like a Wham! album.”
- PJ Harvey has announced two live dates: October 10th at New York’s Beacon Theatre and October 15th at Los Angeles’ Orpheum. Harvey’s new album, White Chalk, is due September 25th.
