Rock pioneer Bo Diddley dies at age 79 - Los Angeles Times

That beat -- fusing blues, R&B, Latin and African rhythms -- resurfaced over the decades in countless other rock and R&B songs, among them Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away," Johnny Otis' “Willie and the Hand Jive,” Bruce Springsteen's “She’s the One,” David Bowie's “Panic in Detroit,” U2's “Desire” and George Michael's “Faith.

Amy Winehouse's reign of terror

Amy Winehouse got stuck in a traffic jam over the weekend and decided to wander out of her car. So, not only were these people at a freaking stand still, they had to look at a half-naked bridge troll. Ha! England’s cool. The Daily Mail reports: Not content to sit patiently in her car, the Rehab singer roamed the motorway.

Radiohead won't repeat 'In Rainbows' giveaway

Radiohead made it official: the band won't be giving away music like it did with the album In Rainbows. "I think it was a one-off situation" said Thom Yorke. "I don't think it would have the same significance now anyway, if we chose to give something away again. It was a moment in time."

Ronson scraps Bond duet with Winehouse

AMSuper producer Mark Ronson has scrapped plans to record a theme song for the forthcoming 'James Bond' film, because collaborator Amy Winehouse isn't fit enough to focus on music.Last month, Ronson confirmed he had started work on a track for the superspy's latest outing, and had roped in the singer to lay down her vocal talents in his studio in Oxford, England.But the celebrated DJ has hit out at the star's recent return to erratic behaviour, insisting troubled Winehouse is simply not "ready" to work on music while she has still not dealt with her demons.And Ronson believes 'Quantum Of Solace' bosses will have to hire other musicians to come up with the movie's title track, claiming it would be a "miracle" if he and Amy ever completed their joint effort.He explains: "We did work on it (Bond theme) but we never finished it. I don't think it will happen unless by some miracle it gets recorded and someone sings on it.Ronson adds: "I'm not sure Amy is ready to work on music yet."However, a representative for the troubled singer refutes Ronson's claims that the fruitless recording session was down to Winehouse's hellraising ways, blaming it on the pair envisioning different directions for the venture.The spokesperson says: "Mark presented a track to Amy, but she had other ideas about the direction it should take. We're sure they will continue to make great music together."

Alleged Jimi Hendrix sex tape to be released

Vivid Entertainment is releasing a sex tape allegedly starring Jimi Hendrix.

The Los Angeles-based adult entertainment company said they obtained the footage of the music legend shot in a hotel room about 40 years ago from a memorabilia collector.

The footage features Hendrix engaging in various sexual acts with two women, according to a statement released by Vivid. The company said they consulted with several experts to authenticate the footage.

Hendrix died of a drug overdose in 1970. Seattle-based representatives for Hendrix's estate did not want to comment about the tape.

Vivid Entertainment was also responsible for the release of celebrity sex tapes starring Kim Kardashian and Pamela Anderson.

Light Shines On The Rolling Stones

'Light' to Illuminate Rolling Stones


NEW YORK, March 30 (UPI) --
The impending release of the concert movie "Shine a Light" will offer a glimpse into the raucous musical lives of the British rock group, the Rolling Stones.
Filmed by Oscar-winning cinematographer Robert Richardson and directed by Martin Scorsese, "Light" captured a live performance by the Stones at Broadway's Beacon Theatre, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday.
The band's 64-year-old guitarist, Keith Richards, said the project should represent a perfect blend of music and cinema thanks to Scorsese's directorial touch.
"The show was a good one," Richards said, "but you have to know that it's not just about the band, right? It's about Martin Scorsese ... it's a rock show painted by a Rembrandt."
In production notes, Scorsese states his initial plan of filming a large Stones concert was dismissed for a more intimate look at the band at the 2,800-seat New York theater.
"At a certain point I thought making something more intimate would be suited to me as a filmmaker and would also facilitate a more personal connection between the audience and the band," the famed director said.
The Times said "Light" is to be released in select theaters across the United States on Friday.

Gun Totting Rapper Gets 60 Days In Jail

Rapper The Game gets 60 days in jail

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11 (UPI) --

A Los Angeles judge has sentenced the rapper known as The Game to 60 days in jail for having a gun in a school zone.

The
Game, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, also was ordered to complete
150 hours of community service and three years probation after he
pleaded no contest to the felony charge, TMZ.com said Monday.

The
charge stems from a February 2007 incident in which Taylor allegedly
pulled a gun and threatened a player from an opposing team during a
pick-up basketball game at a school in South Los Angeles.

Taylor,
28, also had faced three felony counts for making criminal threats and
exhibiting a firearm in the presence of a peace officer, but two counts
were tossed out as part of his plea agreement, TMZ.com said.

The rapper must surrender by March 3 to begin his sentence.
