News Ticker: Yoko Ono, Foxy Brown, Miley Cyrus, The Strokes

4/23/08, 3:02 pm EST

  • Yoko Ono is fighting in court to prevent a film of John Lennon smoking pot and talking about putting LSD in President Richard Nixon’s tea from being shown publicly. The footage was shot in 1970 — just weeks before the Beatles split up — by Ono’s previous husband Anthony Cox.
  • Less than a week after being released from prison, Foxy Brown was back in court yesterday for a status hearing regarding her assault case from a 2007 incident at a Florida beauty salon. Brown attempted to plea deal without her attorney, which made her attorney resign, delaying the case for two more weeks.
  • Fifteen-year-old Disney sensation Miley Cyrus will write about her ascension to stardom in a memoir that is set to published next spring.
  • The Strokes are planning to start work on the follow-up to 2006’s First Impressions of Earth, bassist Nikolai Fraiture posted on the band’s website. “I’d like to say that I’m still looking very forward to a fourth album release. We just need to work out a few technical kinks,” Fraiture said.

Yoko seems confused these days. Why censor an anecdote about people who have been dead for decades now? This is absurd; no one was injured by the comments, and the comments weren’t acted upon. Wasn’t Lennon a free-speech advocate? Greater public injury has likely been created by Yoko’s strange attempts at music and her juvenile approach to abstract art.

Here’s my memoir ya’ll.

My daddy was a one hit country wonder with a mullet. Then I was born. Then he sold me to Disney and they’ve been pimping me ever since. The End.

Foxy Brown isn’t even foxy. She should be thrown back in jail for false advertising.

Disney has a cash cow in Miley Cyrus and are trying to capitalize on her fame whichever way they can while she’s still in the spotlight. The girl’s only 15 and already writing a book on her stardom? Does that imply that her moment of stardom will be short-lived and as she gets older people will stop paying attention to her? Disney probably thinks so or they wouldn’t be rushing to get this book out.
