UK Deny Snoop
Gigwise reports: Snoop Dogg is considering going straight to the Prime Minister Tony Blair over the decision to deny him a British visa. 

The rapper has been blocked entry to continue his current tour with P Diddy following his part in a brawl at London’s Heathrow Airport last year, but is attempting to overturn the decision. 

His spokesperson says in a statement, “Snoop still sincerely hopes that the British Government will reconsider their decision and UK shows will be allowed to go on as planned. [What the fizzle were they thinking? See full story for more] - Click Here for the Full Story

Weiland Fight Leads To Charges
TMZ reports: Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland and his wife trashed a Burbank hotel room during a rockstar-caliber rampage last weekend, and now the hotel is pressing charges against the Weilands for the damage they caused.

Sources tell TMZ that Weiland and his wife Mary ripped alarm clocks and phones from their sockets and threw them, made "dents and gauges" in the walls, and that there was even blood found on some of the linens afterward. (A picture taken at the scene shows a note attached to a trash bag that says, in Spanish, "with blood.") 

The trouble started when Mary arrived at the hotel Saturday, whereupon the couple got into "a huge argument" witnessed by their two young children, who had to be taken away by Weiland's assistant. Weiland himself then left, leaving behind Mary, who could be heard throwing things in the room. The police were called, and the hotel is pressing charges for the damage caused. There's no word whether either Weiland or his wife were injured in the spat.[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

Paul Simon Vs Oasis
PR reports: AjantaMusic founder and leader Paul Simon, not the Garfunkel one, today announced that he will never attend another BRITS presentation ceremony, not that he has ever been invited to one in the past. "My brother Robin, the other member of AjantaMusic, used to play with Ultravox and Magazine, and I was in a band with Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols. And they give the Outstanding Contribution to Music award to bloody Oasis? Hello?" 

The 5-foot 6 chillout giant, whose duo is gigantically popular in the Balearics, and also among listeners to the influential National Public Radio programme, Echoes, in America, is similarly disgruntled with the Oscars. "I can understand their giving it to Melissa Etheridge," he grumbles, "in view of no one actually having used one of the tracks from our 2006 debut album And Now We Dream in a film. But somebody bloody should have, innit?" [see full story for more - this press release brought to you by the "we need some publicity initiative"]- Click Here for the Full Story

Judas Priest Legend Calls RIAA Silly
Blabbermouth reports: "The Classic Metal Show" recently interviewed legendary JUDAS PRIEST guitarist K.K. Downing about a number of topics, one which was the proposed raise of royalty rates by the RIAA that would, in essence, put Internet radio out of business. Downing stated that he found the proposed royalty rates to be "just ridiculous," and admitted that he's never received a check from the RIAA for royalties allegedly collected in his name by the organization. An excerpt from the conversation follows:

The Classic Metal Show: The Record Industry Association of America. They're going after Internet radio stations to pay a very high royalty rate in order to broadcast copyrighted music. Basically, just to give you the gist of it, in a year's time at the royalty rate they are asking, an Internet radio station that, say, serves 1,000 listeners 365 days a year, the royalty rate that they would have to pay in order to stay in business would equate to about $200,000 a year. 

K.K. Downing: Well, that's just ridiculous. That just doesn't stack up, as you say. That just doesn't equate. What's the equation? Who put that together? That's obviously silly. [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
