The Killers Fight Manager In Court, Fabolous Defends His “Family,” Winehouse “Arrested” and More

12/18/07, 4:09 pm EST

  • The Killers were in front of a different kind of audience today, as they faced a second day of questioning in a California court to avoid paying a former manager $3 million in unpaid commissions. The band contests that their manager, Braden Merrick, booked employment without a license, and thus are seeking to void their management contract.
  • Fabolous has come to the defense of his “Street Family” crew, saying his posse is “a crew of rappers” and not “a gang of street homies.” The statement comes after the New York Police Department investigated the “Street Family” for a string of pro-athlete robberies.
  • A millionaire heir in Miami paid Prince, or “He who sues his own fan sites,” a staggering $2 million to perform at his fortieth birthday party. Prince played a hits-filled set that included “Purple Rain,” “1999″ and “Nothing Compares 2 U” to an audience that featured New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez, director Brett Ratner and actor James Caan.
  • Amy Winehouse was “arrested” today in London on suspicion of attempting to interfere with her husband Blake Fielder-Civil’s court case, Us reports. And by “arrested,” we mean she voluntarily showed up for questioning and was placed under arrest, which is common practice in the U.K. when facing questioning. No charges have been filed against Winehouse.
  • Morrissey has confirmed the fifteen non-Smiths tracks that will appear on his upcoming greatest-hits album. Joining tracks like “Every Day Is Like Sunday” and “The First of the Gang to Die” are two new songs titled “That’s How People Grow Up” and “All You Need is Me.”

Actually if you read the official documents relating to the court case between The Killers’ former manager and themselves you will see that their manager clearly broke several terms of his contract with them. The band only counter sued after Merrick refused to come to a mutual agreement upon his dismissal and instead tried to screw them for money he doesn’t deserve.

As for Brandon being a douche/asshole whatever for occasionally stating who he doesn’t like musically, get over yourselves.

“OMG! I completely agree with Cap. Fucknuts.”

Jared, I want to congratulate you for being the only person on our planet (until now) to ever utter the words,

“I completely agree with Captain Fucknuts!” LOL!

OMG! I completely agree with Cap. Fucknuts. Brandon is complete douche. While Brandon Flowers was busy talking how Sam’s Town was the best album of the past 20 years, Radiohead were creating the most beautiful album of our time.

They are one of the most pretentious bands, the audacity that they had to destroy Joy Division with their lame attempt at a cover with “Shadowplay”. I saw them open for the Pixies, ridiculous. Brandon..(leonardo..good move). is a loudmouth attacking Thom Yorke and other’s for no particular reason other than he’s an asshole. So Fuck You Killers, Hope your manager wins because you just need something to keep your lame fucking band in the news
