Militant rap-rock group Rage Against the Machine reunited after a seven- year
absence during a California music festival over the weekend, offering a
sharpened version of their old message: fight the power. Rage, which broke
up when singer Zack de la Rocha left to begin an uneventful solo career,
topped the U.S. pop album charts twice in the 1990s with releases steeped in
leftist politics and anti-corporate tirades. The group's reunion gig was the
most-anticipated performance of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival
in the desert town of Indio, about 120 miles east of Los Angeles. The
three-day festival drew 60,000 fans and took place in temperatures reaching
103 degrees Fahrenheit (39 Celsius). Do not forget

felony battery charges for allegedly hitting a man on the head with a heavy

booked in the Hillsborough County Jail on a charge of aggravated battery
with a deadly weapon. She was also charged with possession of cocaine and
introduction of contraband into a correctional facility after officers found
a small amount of the drug while searching her, police spokeswoman Andrea
Davis said. Sierra was released Sunday afternoon on $11,500 bail. There was
no immediate indication if she had a lawyer. The mother of the Rolling Stones' guitar legend Keith Richards
Rolling Stone magazine is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a special edition. The special edition in will have pictures off some of the most memorable pictures, to date. Televisa said it is interested in buying Satmex, a move that could return it to the satellite business, cut transmission costs and strengthen the Mexican broadcaster's footprint from Canada to Argentina.
After a month of speculation, NBC said Thursday that Sharon Osbourne will replace R&B singer Brandy as a judge on the network's summer reality series "America's Got Talent." Four in Running for Clear Channel TV - With the bidding past the $1 billion mark, four companies are vying for Clear Channel Television, the division of Clear Channel Communications that operates 42 TV stations in 24 small- and mid-sized markets, and a winner could be named with the next two weeks, according to industry sources. The four bidders include Nexstar Broadcasting Group, a publicly traded broadcast group headed by Perry Sook, along with three entities backed by private equity firms that have been active in the station trading marketplace over the past year. R&B singer Waymond Anderson has won a chance at freedom after spending 13 years in prison for the drug-related killing of a man. A state appeals court on Wednesday ordered a hearing within 120 days in Los Angeles County Superior Court in which prosecutors must refute newly presented evidence that Anderson was miles away when the killing took place. If no hearing is scheduled, Anderson must be freed, the court said. Marc Anthony is in trouble now, with the IRS. The star has not paid  taxes
in the last 5 years so far, personally or business-wise. This has
raised the ire of the IRS. He has however worked something out, he

that. Don Imus of Imus in the Morning was in trouble  today over
comments that he made over a Rutgers woman's basketball players. This
was supposedly a very stinging remark, so much so that he apologized this
morning. Don Imus hosts WFAN's Imus in the Morning which airs live from
MSNBC World Headquarters weekday mornings on MSNBC from 6-9am Eastern. Dons
critics want him off the air. Don called the Rutgers girls, nappy headed
hoes, some hard core tattooed hoes, the remarks did not end there. It was
heard all over the world, with the black journalist association being
inflamed and speaking out. Imus said sorry for his ill conceived remarks,
and he was not received well by many opponents. MSNBC was upset and
distanced themselves from him and his remarks. Many Journalists have
come out against the MC and his remarks, and rightly so, and not letting him
off. Well it seems neither is Both CBS
Radio and MSNBC, which airs simulcasts of Imus' show, said they were
suspending the program for two weeks.. After his attempts of trying to
apologize and no one believing his sincerity. This is another example
of what can happen, but at least they are not sending him to sensitivity
training, oh wait, that might be a good idea. Anyway, he went to Rev.
Sharpton's radio Show on Monday and still critics are not convinced, I guess
that sometimes when you are lewd and rude, you get the horns. The Rutgers
female basketball players called "nappy-headed hos" by Don Imus are ready to
voice their opinions on the remarks that led CBS Radio and MSNBC to suspend
his morning talk show for two weeks. He drew even more fire when on
Sharpton's Radio Show he referred to Sharpton and a Congresswoman as 'You
people' The Rutgers campus is furious to upset of the attack on their team.
There are mixed feelings on whether to fire the Jock. But advertisers
are smartly distancing themselves from him, especially from his comments.

women's basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer on Tuesday called comments made
by radio host Don Imus "racist and sexists remarks that are deplorable,
despicable and unconscionable."
click for more.. Although
many on the Rutgers campus do not want to see Don Imus fired, many were hurt
by his comments. Well, CBS fired him, MSNBC shelved him and he is now
on his own. Rev. Sharpton had gone up to CBS today to ask about firing
him. When CBS let the news out. The backlash that has come out was a little
too much for any company to weather. Sorry to hear Imus...I do not know why this issue starts with Paris but this will be a story in Progress. Paris could face Jail if her probation is revoked. Prosecutors in LA city Attorneys office said 3/29/07 that plan to ask a judge to revoke Paris Hiltons probation,  basically because the
tart was grabbed last month driving with an suspended license. Paris could
face up to 90 days in prison, if the judge decides that the dummy did
violate probation, coming from her alcohol related reckless driving case
back in September. Nick Vasquez, the dept. spokesman says that his office is
"confident" that there is sufficient evidence to prove Paris knew her
license was suspended. Paris's people claim she did not know about the
suspension, when Paris's Bentley was pulled over in February.

to be Britney Spears , whose rumored on-again, off-again comeback appears to
be back on. The Forty Deuce's relationship with Spears became tabloid

outfits with some of the club's burlesque dancers. According to club owner
Ivan Kane, Spears' was originally to play a short set at the Forty Deuce

set several times, the choreography was smokin' and she sounded great," Kane

the grind house movies. Those were movies shown on 42nd street in the
city. Movies that were long, had cheesy commercials, and you was in
the movie theatre all day. One of my favorites was 'Faces of Death',
and it was awesome looking at the whole movie. Most think of that as
being a documentary in parts. I loved the second movie the best and even
though it was a long movie, it was a great time. I love to have a good
movie.. Even though a lot of people did not get to see it last weekend, it
is a movie to go and see. It even has the cheesy surprises...lol.

Ok, now here is a
scoop, it was said that Mariah is looking for love, no not a man but a
child. She was seen visiting orphanages in Mexico. She shot back
and said she is not exactly ready for kids but with the trend of stars going
to other countries to pick kids and raise them, could you blame her.
But who would not want to be Mariah's baby daddy. She is still very
young and her child would be dynamite. Even though this trend that was
really brought to be the in-thing was Angelina, it has given Hollywood
pause. You never know who will be next.

28, 2007. Lopez was promoting her newly released all-Spanish album 'Como Ama
Una Mujer'. What is more Amazing is that the Media outlet that usually sells
her and behind her is cutting her off. According to reports, she has cut
them out and they cut her out of all their stores and off shelves. Mistake
if I dare say, Ritmo Latino the largest of the Latin music is not deterred.
David Massry of Ritmo Latino told the Daily News that she refused to promote
her CD in any of our stores and any other Latino-only retail outlets. David
said that "We supported her from the beginning, Now we are told that she
will only go to Anglo/White only retail outlet stores"?? I think Dave
should chill because knowing the Boricua Princess as I do and did, she was
not truly appraised or was forced to work with certain outlets.
Unfortunately it cuts some out, but you have to compromise, not always for
the better. Any way Ritmo has 50 stores in the U.S. and it may take some
personal mending to fix this debacle. As of Now, Ritmo is banning all of
her CD's from their stores for turning her back on Hispanic shops. Funny
thing is, this is a Spanish CD!!! Is this not a kick in the head! Jen has
not issued a statement yet, probably not heard about this yet. More on

Christina
Aguilera and Nicole Kidman have joined Lifetime's End Violence Against Women
campaign, which focuses on helping women around the world as well as
promoting the Violence Against Women Act in the U.S. Aguilera will star in a
public-service announcement that will air on the TV channel and at
concerts on her Back to

members of the White House and Congress — that signify solidarity with
victims of domestic violence. Kidman will also tape a PSA and, on
LifetimeTV.com, discuss visiting sexual-assault survivors in Kosovo as part
of her stint as goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Development Fund

imprisoning a male escort at his London home. British authorities confirm
that a "man in his forties" is being investigated over allegations made by
Auden Carlsen, who claims George and another man chained him up after the
singer invited him to pose for pictures. The Daily Mail reports that Carlsen
met the former Culture Club star on the Web site Gaydar, and agreed to pose
for pictures at his apartment for a fee. He denied he was working as an
escort. 
'The
Simple Life' star Nicole Richie has been diagnosed with the blood
disorder hypoglycemia. The condition means the skinny socialite's blood
sugar levels are often too low to provide an adequate amount of energy for
her body. The diagnosis comes less than a month after Richie was
hospitalized for dehydration after becoming sick while filming the new
season of her hit reality show, in which she and pal Paris Hilton have been
counseling children at a health camp. Remember last month we said, Four or
five times she's felt really faint and almost passed out and then she has to
go into her trailer for a good part of the day. This was the cause, everyone
thought it was drugs or otherwise, here is the real cause.

Jimmy Chamberlin,
it is unknown who else is in the lineup. The band will unveil songs from its
upcoming Reprise Records album "Zeitgeist," its first CD since 2000's "Machina/The
Machines of God." A release date has not been set. Amid increasing
intra-band tensions, the Pumpkins played a marathon farewell show in their
Chicago hometown on December 2, 2000. Corgan and Chamberlin were
supplemented by guitarist James Iha and bass player Melissa Auf Der Maur,
who had replaced D'arcy Wretzky in 1999. Since the breakup, Corgan pursued
various solo projects with little success. In 2005, he took out a full-page
ad in a Chicago newspaper to announce reunion plans. After the May 22 show
at the Grand Rex, the Pumpkins will head to the Dutch city of Landgraf for
the Pink pop festival on May 28. They will subsequently travel to Spain,
Germany, Portugal, Austria, Italy, Switzerland and England. They will also
play the North American V Festival shows in Washington, D.C. on August 5 and
Toronto on September 8. A statement said to "stay tuned" for news on more
North American dates.

Jaime Luis Gomez, was taken into custody Tuesday morning after a collision
in Industry, about 20 miles east of Los Angeles, said Los Angeles sheriff's
Lt. Mark Relyea. Gomez was released that evening with a citation for
possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, possession of a prescribed
medication without a prescription and driving under the influence, Relyea
said. He was released on $5,000 bail. No court date has been set.

Washington D.C. gig, the singer and actor is sick with bronchitis but hopes
he will be able to perform in Atlanta on Friday. The Oscar winner is
currently touring the U.S. with his combined comedy and music tour and was
set to perform at the state capital's D.A.R. Constitution Hall on Wednesday.
Bobby Brown has
missed concerts, court dates and child-support payments, but his failure to
show up for a hearing on Wednesday may have cost him custody of his
14-year-old daughter. According to the Los Angeles Times, the singer was not
present to hear his ex, Whitney Houston, tell an Orange County, California,
judge that she doesn't need spousal support or child support to raise their
daughter, Bobbi Kristina, without Brown. Houston described Brown as
unreliable and a bad communicator. Superior Court Judge Franz Miller ruled
that the divorce would become effective April 24, ending the couple's rocky
14-year marriage, with Brown getting visitation rights and facing the
possibility of child-support payments in the future, if necessary. Brown's
representative said he planned to file a motion to set aside the divorce
ruling. This does not look good for Bobby..
The
