Trial Set |
E! Online reports: The idea that Phil Spector
will actually stand trial for murder is starting to look less whimsical.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Larry
Paul Fidler set Mar. 19 as the day to begin jury selection, saying Tuesday,
"We have to get to this trial."
While testimony probably won't start until
three or four weeks after a jury is chosen, it's looking promising that
Spector's criminal trial is finally going to go forward after a year of
delays.[see full story for more]- Click

Snubs Britney |
hecklerspray reports: [and for today's BS
report] This big Britney Spears post-divorce comeback that we were all
promised isn't quite as amazing as we thought, considering it's mainly
consisted of fainting, puking and flashing her genitals around like the
mad old lady who hangs round outside Woolworths.
But Britney Spears had one big gun left
in her armoury - Britney Spears wanted to announce her dramatic reappearance
as a shiny happy pop person by appearing in a huge all-star TV commercial
promoting the NFL Network alongside big names like L.L. Cool J and Paris
Hilton. And all was going according to plan, right up until the moment
that Britney Spears actually asked the NFL if she could be in the advert.
Because at that point the NFL said no to Britney Spears and then called
her a "train wreck." [see full story for more]- Click

| Senator
Vs Payola |
TuneLab reports: Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI)
has written an open letter to FCC Chairman Kevin Martin, responding to
yesterday's news that the commission is considering a proposal to resolve
the ongoing payola investigation. In the letter, Feingold urges the FCC
to not entrust an industry that "former Attorney General [Eliot] Spitzer
has already shown to have violated payola rules" to police itself. Feingold
urges Martin to "instead seek strong binding settlements that ensure future
compliance with the law and reassure consumers they will have access to
small, independent and local labels and artists via the public airwaves."
Feingold notes that the rumored proposal
would "not even admit any wrongdoing on the part of the companies - something
that is typical for such an agreement," especially when "there was significant
wrongdoing, both through traditional payola's direct bribes and new forms
that sought to use middlemen to conceal the violations." Feingold contends
that without "an admission that both traditional and new forms of payola
are covered by the FCC jurisdiction, some in the industry may continue
to contend that new forms of payola are legal." [see full story for some
info on an interesting "indie" clause that Feingold is hoping for.] -

Out Boy Vs Meathead |
punkbands reports: One week after he leapt
into the crowd and began wailing on a security guard at the Sunshine Theater
in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz is still a
little bit sore, a little bit embarrassed and in what might be a first
a little bit wary of talking about the incident.
But that isn't stopping his bandmates from
giving their accounts of the punch-up, which occurred while FOB was playing
the final song of their set during last weekend's gig at the Sunshine
"I was standing on a riser, stage left,
and I see this meathead dude pushing around girls and trying to get into
it with our security guy," guitarist Joe Trohman said. "All I can tell
you is the dude was a meathead, and he was being a real jerk. I saw it
all happen right in front me, and he started it all. He was pushing around
girls, tried to push around [the band's security guard] Charlie. He was
out of his gourd."[see full story for more]- Click

last summer, EMPEROR today announce their return to the United States for
three encore performances this spring.

endure. So we feel a few more shows are due and this time, all visas are
