DiR reports: To celebrate the release of Unseen's
new CD 'Internal Salvation' this week we have asked Mark to pick his top
5 favorite songs from the CD and tell us a bit about each track. We continue
today with the song "Torn and Shattered (nothing left)". Here is Mark:
This song was done in the middle of the
song writing process. The music was done by Tripp our bassist along with
Scott our guitarist. The words to this song dwell on finding strength in
a time of need. It's somewhat slow for The Unseen I guess it's our album
ballad, haha.
- 'Internal
Salvation' hits stores today.

Contact Music reports: Rocker JOEL MADDEN
and his girlfriend NICOLE RICHIE were escorted out of a luxury California
hotel on Saturday (07Jul07), after the GOOD CHARLOTTE frontman almost came
to blows with U.S. reality TV star SPENCER PRATT.
Pratt was dining with his The Hills co-star
and fiancee Heidi Montag when the incident at the Beverly Hills Hotel occurred.
Pratt claims Madden was angry about comments he was incorrectly reported
to have made about Richie's weight. [does she have any weight?]
He tells website In Touch Online, "I was
sitting having a quiet lunch with Heidi when Nicole walked in and started
pointing at me and then whispering to Joel. "He storms over and starts
shouting, 'You've been talking s**t about my girl.' I told him, 'Please
can we not do this at the Beverly Hills Hotel. This is ridiculous.' Then
he started screaming and calling me names." - the
high drama continues here. At least it's more exciting then his last two
CDs.

Gigwise reports: Moby has hit out at organisers
of the Live Earth concerts for selling meat at the shows.
Speaking through his blog, the vegan dance
veteran quoted the UN statistic that livestock breeding and the gases the
animals emit is a huge contributor to worldwide the greenhouse gases in
the environment.
He writes: The one thing that still stuns
me
is that almost no one in the 'stop global warming' camp talks about
the environmental ramifications of animal production. To quote a UN article:
rearing cattle produces more greenhouse gases than driving cars. [yes,
but a good steak is a lot tastier than a Honda. Why doesn't be organize
a global concert against meat? He could call it Live Stock] -

PR reports: Grammy-winning pop quintet Maroon
5 has announced plans for their 2007 "It Won't Be Soon Before Long" world
tour, hitting 28 North American cities, with special guest The Hives, beginning
September 29th in Detroit and concluding November 10th in Las Vegas.
The tour is in support of their recently
released sophomore album, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, the

5's production team, management and the boys themselves to reduce the carbon
emissions produced by the world tour before offsetting the remaining emissions
that cannot be reduced.- more

PR reports: The good folks at Hecklerspray
spend a good deal of time giving out useful beating tips as well as humorously
delivering entertainment news about useless celebs and other "folded" topics.
Today they posted their hilarious Live Earth recap which has provided us
with more than one quote of the week. Are you ready? Here they are: "...That's
right, Saturday saw Al Gore's global Live Earth concerts take place around
the world, where a diverse group of musicians including Madonna and Spinal
Tap travelled to large vastly-lit sports stadiums in their private jets
to tell a televised audience of two billion to use different lightbulbs,
sign the vague Live Earth pledge and only drive around at 100mph while
loaded up on pot if you're in a Prius like Al Gore's son. Unless you're
Madonna, who seemed to think that singing a rubbish new song and telling
everyone to jump up and down would have some sort of effect on climate
change.
...there's not really any hiding from the
fact that trying to save the environment with a series of global concerts
that are estimated to have emitted a total of 31,500 tons of carbon - roughly
the same amount as you would if you left your TV on standby for 1,684,498
years - is a bit like someone trying to raise awareness for domestic violence
by punching his wife in the face a lot."- A
lot more here including how Keane can save the world!
