Nine Inch Nails Plot Sequel to “Year Zero,” Ozzy Osbourne Dreams of New Black Sabbath Album, Cat Power Writes Ode to Dylan

Trent Reznor’s first order of business now that Nine Inch Nails and Interscope Records have officially divorced: start work on the follow-up (sequel?) to this year’s Year Zero. Reznor was previously contractually incapable of hitting the studio, but becoming a free agent allows Trent to do pretty much whatever he wants. The label will, however, release the Zero-remix album Y34RZ3R0R3MIX3D, plus maintain rights to issue a NIN greatest-hits record.

Despite rumors that he would abandon the tour that bears his own name, Ozzy Osbourne insists he will headline the 2008 edition of the Ozzfest. But will he perform solo? Ozzy tells MTV “I’d love to do another Black Sabbath album.”

Cat Power’s second album of cover songs, titled Jukebox will be released January 22nd on Matador Records. The album will feature Cat covering one of her own songs, “Metal Heart,” plus an original Bob Dylan ode called “Song to Bobby.”

Another day, another lawsuit: Diddy is being sued for $5 million after he allegedly ordered his bodyguards to beat up a man at a Manhattan nightclub last June.

The rumour mill reports that Prince and Amy Winehouse might collaborate at the Purple One’s Minnesota studio later this year. That is, if Prince can convince the diva to stop by instead of partying with the Olsen Twins.
