Champagne primadonna
Former Oasis frontman and current Beady Eye member Liam Gallagher has slammed Jay-Z over his clothing line, Rocawear. “You’re going to be fucking arrested wearing his gear and you’re going to pull a really nice-looking bird wearing mine,” said Gallagher in an interview with spin.com. The frontman launched his own clothing line in 2009, Pretty Green, which Liam characterized as being “timeless, classic clobber” (which is U.K. slang for clothes, in case you were wondering). This is not the first time one of the infamously testy Gallagher brothers have lashed out at the Roc-A-Fella rapper; older brother Noel decried the Glastonbury festival’s decision of having the jigga man headline back in 2008, saying “I’m not having hip hop at Glastonbury. It’s wrong.”
Speaking of Noel…
The other Gallagher brother made some news of his own after refusing a hotel room due to the looming image of a giant Russell Brand outside of his window. In an interview with The Sun, Brand, who is friends with the Oasis singer, said, “Noel’s in L.A. at the moment and outside his hotel window he said all he can see is a great big billboard for Arthur. He said they showed him the room and the bloke asked, ‘Is there anything you’d like to change, sir?’ He said, ‘Yeah. That fucking poster. I want another room,’ so they moved him.”
He don’t impress her much
An Ottawa doctor has been arrested after violating conditions that he stay at least 500 yards away from country singer Shania Twain. The arrest took place the night of the Juno Awards after an unidentified person had spotted him in the crowd at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre. Dr. Giovanni Palumbo had previously had charges of criminally harassing the Canadian music star withdrawn after Twain did not show up for her day in court three weeks ago. Palumbo claimed he had hoped to broker a meeting with the singer through a reporter because he didn’t think she was even aware of the case, claiming it was her handlers that wanted to press charges. According to court documents, the doctor had sent her unsolicited love notes and flowers, and had shown up at the singer’s home in Switzerland several times in 2009.
Bluebeat bashed for billing for Beatles
A music website that had illegally sold music by the Beatles has been made to pay infringed record labels $1 million. Bluebeat.com claimed they were not breaking any copyright laws, as the US-based website’s owner was using a method he called “psycho-acoustic simulation” to distribute the tracks. This method was described by the presiding judge as an “obscure and undefined pseudo-scientific language that appears to be a long-winded way of describing sampling.”
It’s like the pot calling Rebecca Black
In an interview with Australia’s Daily Telegraph, pop singer Miley Cyrus slammed Internet celebrity Rebecca Black, whose overnight success came after the release of the critically reviled music video for her song “Friday.” Says Cyrus: “It should be harder to be an artist. You shouldn’t just be able to put a song on YouTube and go out on tour.” For those of you who are not in the know, Cyrus — the daughter of commercial country artist Billy Ray Cyrus — got her start at the age of 13 on her own Disney TV show, which was followed by a deal with Hollywood Records a year later.
