has romped with jailed socialite Paris Hilton. Ozzy and Sharon leaked the

in Washington, DC turned into an outdoor venue when SaveNetRadio, a coalition
to stop the July 15 ruling of the Copyright Royalty Board's (CRB) royalty
increase on all Internet radio stations, held an open-air concert. In support
of the Internet Radio Equality Act, hundreds of people gathered at the

from Christian and folk to hard rock. Among them were Michael Yugo, Nadir,
Mother Jones Band and Rome In A Day. Jay Inslee and Donald Manzullo, the
two Congressmen who introduced the legislation, which would vacate the
CRB's ruling and set a royalty rate at the same level of satellite radio,
also addressed the crowd. [see full story for more]- Click

Poison tour, where Vains of Jenna had not yet joined, but would be jumping
on the tour in North Carolina. That night they were playing a festival
on the City Stages with several bands, including Lynam.
Here's Diana's recap from this past week's
conversation with Blotzer on her show, The Wild Side: Juan Crocier was
also involved in the initial reunion talks, and when asked about his non-participation
in the reunion, Bobby said, "We talked and talked and we really wanted
it to happen, but Juan was on a different page and it didn't work out.
We've had Robbie (Crane, current bassist) in the band for over ten years
now, and we love playing with him as well."
Bobby said that after the Poison tour wraps
in September, there were plans to go to Japan for some shows, and then
to do a headline tour in the US in September/October. Also, Ratt plans
to start writing for an album of new material to be released sometime in
