Sex in the City for Miley Cyrus?

Before all of the protest from angry parents start, Gossip Cop goes further and "confirm that in the current script, Cyrus has one scene, and in it she wears the same dress to a red carpet event that Kim Cattrall's character buys to look 'hot and young.' In the script, Mario Cantone's character Anthony responds by exclaiming, 'Mother of God: She is wearing the same dress as Hannah Montana.' - Read their report which started this latest round of speculation

Madonna May Marry Jesus

antiMusic reports: Before we get to the article, keep in mind that this is based on a tabloid report but the good folks at Hecklerspray had such fun with this rumor that we had to pass part of it on. Here you go: Madonna is said to be considering getting married to her 22-year-old partner, Jesus Luz. Yes, you heard us. In a series of rather comical coincidences – that you could not make up unless you were hell-bent on being labeled a heathen – the queen of the baby-snatchers is rumoured to wish to marry her child boyfriend.

Not that we're judging, mind you. This is ruddy Madonna we're talking about. Let's face it, short of long-division, there's nothing that she cannot do. Except wear trousers. And not grind her hip bones into a fine powder, as she dry humps her dancers in every video.

Madonna currently has five children; her two biological ones Lourdes and Rocco, and her two adopted kids Mercy and David. Then there's the fifth. Jesus. Whom no one seems to realise must be some other child she adopted. We've read somewhere he's supposed to be her boyfriend, but that's just silliness if ever we heard it. Jesus is clearly still a child, and he actually appears to be shaving off peach fuzz each morning, in lieu of something rugged-looking that more closely resembles facial hair. - the fun has only just begun

PR reports: Monsters of Folk's self-titled debut, out now on Shangri-La Music, has hit #15 on the Top 200 chart, selling nearly 35,000 albums in its first week of release. The Top 20 album is the first recorded collaborative effort of the group's acclaimed members - Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis,My Morning Jacket's Jim James and singer/songwriter M.Ward.

Monsters of Folk began as folklore of sorts, when James, Oberst, Ward and Mogis did their first run of shows together in 2004, affectionately known amongst friends and crew as the "Monsters of Folk Tour."

While entertaining audiences coast to coast, the foursome vowed to make their way to a studio at some point after the tour's completion. Instead, the songsmiths went on to individually release some of rock music's most exciting and essential albums of the last five years – Bright Eyes' I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning & Cassadaga; My Morning Jacket's Z & Evil Urges; M. Ward's Post War and Hold Time. - more on this story

Polysics Digital

PR reports: Polysics, the forward-thinking, avant garde, electronic band from Japan is releasing its eight effort today in digital format. Entitled Absolute Polysics, the band is firing on all cylinders daring any listener to remain still during the record's frantic and chaotic 14 tracks.

Influenced by the new wave stylings of Devo, Polysics founding member Hiroyuki Hayashi, aka Hiro, knew he had to form his own band after listening to the Akron, Ohio band. "I was shocked by it," Hiro says of his first experience with Devo. "I thought it was so much more punk than just acting like a gang by greasing one's hair. I was so impressed, and I thought, 'I want to do new wave punk dressed in a jumpsuit like Devo!'"

Formed over ten years ago, Polysics (Hiro on vocals, guitar, programming; Kayo, synthesizer, vocals; Fumi, bass; Yano, drums) has released eight full-length releases in their native Japan. The band, now signed to MySpace Records, released the definitive Polysics compilation POLYSICS OR DIE!!!! VISTA in 2007 which went on to become their best selling U.S. release. - more on this story

Peter completed Traces swiftly, only 6 months after releasing leavetaking in 2008. Apparently, Peter's travels are a source of inspiration, be they reluctant or not! - Myspace link
