| Rocker
or Bank Robber? |
Blabbermouth reports: Floridian death metal
stalwarts DEICIDE were detained today in Innsbruck, Austria for.... bank
robbery.
DEICIDE drummer Steve Asheim got up early
this morning to make a trip to the bank to deposit some money from merch
sales when the bank staff became suspicious of his appearance and the fact
that much of the money was marked with red dye. Staff immediately called
the police, who swiftly arrived and took the DEICIDE drummer down to the
station, suspecting that he had been involved in a recent bank robbery
in the area and that he was handling stolen banknotes.
Questioned for a number of hours, Steve
explained the banknotes were legitimate proceeds from touring, and that
he had a leaky pen in his pocket which was responsible for the money's
discoloration.[see full story for more]- Click

Singer Vs Plastic Surgeon |
Launch reports: Pete Burns, the flamboyant
lead singer '80s band Dead Or Alive, has filed a lawsuit against a London
plastic surgeon for allegedly making him look "physically repulsive."
The androgynous frontman, most famous for
the hit "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)," claims Dr. Maurizio Viel performed
a terrible job on his lip augmentation procedure at the London Center For
Aesthetic Surgery. Burns's suit complains of swelling, blistering, discharge,
and impaired ability to eat, drink, or talk. He claims the damage was so
extreme that at one point it looked like his lips would actually need to
be surgically removed. [see full story for more]- Click

| Eddie
on Van Halen Reunion |
sleazeroxx.com reports: The reunion that Van
Halen fans have been awaiting for twenty-two years began in December, when
David Lee Roth walked into Eddie Van Halen's Hollywood home studio. There
he rejoined the band for a rehearsal, singing fourteen Van Halen classics.
"They totally got along on a personal level," a source close to the reunion
says. "And it sounded great." At press time, Roth and the band were negotiating
a deal for a major summer tour, which would be Van Halen's first Roth-fronted
tour since 1984. Along with a possible Police reunion, it would likely
be among the year's biggest box-office draws.
"Everything is up in the air," Eddie Van
Halen tells Rolling Stone. "We don't want to say anything prematurely."
He suggested that the band is waiting on Roth: "People know where we are
and that we're making music. Whoever wants to come up can join us -- they're
welcome." But the famously contentious group may already be having communication
problems. The source replies, "Dave is ready. He's been ready."[see full

Settles With GM |
E! reports: Tom Waits has settled a lawsuit
filed against the German division of General Motors and its ad agency,
which he accused of hijacking his trademark sound for a series of overseas
car commercials.
The suit, filed in September 2005 in Frankfurt,
named the auto manufacturer's Opel unit and the McCann Erickson agency
for using what he deemed a "perfect impersonation" of his distinctive growl
in a series of ads earlier that year. [see full story for more]-

| Tool
Consider Live Releases |
Blabbermouth reports: TOOL intends to record
some dates on its next North American tour for a live CD and DVD, according
to Harddrive Radio. The initial dates for the outing have been announced,
with the first confirmed show on March 15th in Las Vegas. Although TOOL
tapes all its live shows, drummer Danny Carey told Launch that the band
doesn't want to release each one as groups like PEARL JAM have done. "I
doubt if we'll go that far with it, but we'll definitely be releasing some
live DVDs and specific concerts that we feel strongly about," he said.
"I think that's just a cooler way to do it. Pick the best stuff instead
of just flood the market with a bunch of mediocre crap (laughs).[see full

| Rolling
Stone As Shallow As their Cover Stars? |
idolator.com reports: Ben Fong-Torres, the
former Rolling Stone editor who was enshrined in Almost Famous, weighs
in on the I'm From Rolling Stone intern pool and their journalism-light
backgrounds: These are the best and brightest out of 2,000 applicants?
Of course not. I learned, from an insider on the show, that writing samples
and photos weren't all that were required from applicants. They were asked
such questions as: "What was the last thing that made you cry?"
Sound like "The Bachelorette"? You're catching
on.
The insider, who spoke off the record,
told me that MTV cast the show, as many reality shows do, "looking for
interesting-looking, interesting-behaving young people
." See full story
