 Kanye
Sitcom |
FMQB reports: Though rumors have been circulating
that Kanye West is developing a reality show, the Rapper says it is simply
not true. However, he does have his sights set on a half-hour sitcom, and
he is working on the idea with producer/director Larry Charles (Borat,
Curb Your Enthusiasm) and music guru/producer Rick Rubin.
"I wouldn't do something as cliché
as a reality show," West said in a statement to MTV News. "At least give
me the credit for being more creative than that... For the last couple
of years, Larry, Rick and I have been developing this pilot. It's a situational
half-hour comedy. It's fictional, and loosely based on my life." [didn't
sitcoms go out a decade ago? See full story for more]-

Engage |
blabbermouth.net reports: KILLSWITCH ENGAGE
was forced to postpone the London, Bristol and Paris shows of their current
European tour this past weekend due to guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz sustaining
a serious back injury. The band has since issued the following update:
"OK, here's the deal. Adam and Howard [Jones,
vocals] were sick and wanted to do the Brixton show [in London]. Once they
got to the club, both got to see the local physician. After both seeing
the doc the prognosis was Howard had a chest infection. Adam, however,
was doing much much worse. No way he could do the show, and he was immediately
ushered to a nearby hospital. After a series of test, it was decided that
Adam would need back surgery again - no more shows, no flying home first,
no exceptions
. Concerning the rest of the tour, it will continue with
Pete Wichers (ex-SOILWORK) filling in for Adam on guitar.[see full story
