 Paris
Vs Gays |
pr-inside reports: Gay rights leaders in Los
Angeles are calling on PARIS HILTON to explain herself after making a series
of anti-gay and racial slurs in a video that began circulating in cyberspace
last week (ends02FEB07). The video, which appears to have been taken by
an amateur videographer at a private party, shows Hilton referring to someone
using the derogatory term "faggot" and describes herself and sister NICKY
as "n**gas". And the leaders of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against
Defamation (GLAAD) are outraged by the footage. They're calling for Hilton
make a public apology before the video gets wider play. GLAAD President
NEIL G. GIULIANO says, "When Paris Hilton utters these words into a camera,
it creates a permanent record that... she must bear responsibility for.
"These are not frivolous words, and to use them as if they are gives tacit
sanction to the racism and homophobia they engender. [burning sticks and

and Jobs Come Together |
SMN reports: Technology giant Apple has reached
a deal with THE BEATLES to end the dispute over the use of the Apple name.
Apple Inc will now take full control of the Apple brand and license certain
trademarks back to THE BEATLES’ record company Apple Corps for continued
use.
The two companies have been wrangling over
the use of the Apple name and logo for more than 25 years. The legal battle
over the trademark will now end. Apple Inc boss Steve Jobs said the court
dispute had been “painful”. THE BEATLES ‘ songs are still not available
on any legal download service, but this truce could pave the way for their

Lawsuit Not Legal? |
TMZ reports: The $50 million lawsuit filed
by the parents of the woman killed in the Brandy car crash may get thrown
out of court.
TMZ has done some digging and here's the
lowdown. Awatef Aboudihaj was killed December 30 after Brandy's vehicle
rear-ended her on a Los Angeles freeway. Aboudihaj was married with two
children. Under California law, only the husband, not the parents, can
sue for wrongful death.
We're told the parents' lawsuit was filed
without consulting the husband beforehand. Even more interesting, Aboudihaj
has been living in the United States for 11 years. Her parents have been
living in Morocco full-time, so contact between parents and daughter was
minimal.[see full story for more]- Click

| Rotten
Judge |
PR reports: Bodog Music's $1 Million Battle
of the Bands is pleased to announce that the legendary John Lydon (a.k.a.
Johnny Rotten) has signed on to be a judge for the show that is currently
shooting across the United States and will run on a top cable network later
in the year.
"I don't like decaffeinated teabags. The
offer to this show came in the season to be jolly (xmas). I don't know
who Bodog is. I still don't, but I may in the future. I admire the wit,
audacity and touch of genius to entrust me with the future of rock and
roll. I do not do judgment. I don't take judgment. But, by the end of this
show you'll know what this judge meant. I don't like decaffeinated teabags.
P.S. - I always loved live music and these bands genuinely enjoy what they
do, and they write their own songs. Thank you. Fresh. Whoever wins Bodog's
cash cow contract is well worth it cause every single band in here is worth
it. Words not given lightly. Up yours, John Rotten"[see full story for
