Los Angeles – Limp Bizkit singer Fred Durst is suing 10 Web site operators who the rocker claims profited from posting an explicit video stolen from his home computer showing him having sex with a former girlfriend. The lawsuit, filed last week in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, seeks more than $70 million in damages and any profits reaped by the Web site operators in recent weeks, when the 3-minute clip began appearing on the Internet. In the complaint, Durst contends that the video, which he shot in 2003, was never meant for public viewing. By disseminating the clip,… Read more »

SANTA MONICA, California – Just days after Paris Hilton’s T-Mobile Sidekick was hacked, unleashing her topless photos and celeb-packed phonebook across the Internet, a sex video featuring Fred Durst hit the Web along with reports that it was the work of the same hacker. Though the explicit clip features the words “T-Mobile Terrorist” on it, the Limp Bizkit singer said the footage was definitely not stolen from his PDA. “If you look on Paris’ thing, I don’t use T-Mobile,” Durst said with a laugh on Friday (February 25), referring to the list of Hilton’s phone numbers that also leaked and… Read more »

Despite an apparent cease-fire to the mudslinging between Fred Durst and Britney Spears, the Limp Bizkit frontman just can’t seem to say enough about the sexy singer. Onstage Saturday at a free concert in London’s Finsbury Park, Durst introduced the tune “Break Stuff” by taking a swipe at the pop star. At the opening of the Significant Other single with the prophetic line, “It’s all about the he said, she said bullsh-,” Durst made his proclamation. “How many people out there have had one of those f–ed-up days?” he asked the crowd. “I can remember quite a few f–ed-up days… Read more »

When Britney Spears drops her new album this fall, don’t be surprised to find a little reminder of her relationship with Fred Durst. The Limp Bizkit frontman is among the producers working on Spears’ as-yet-untitled new album, due in October, according to a Jive Records spokesperson. Durst has produced one unnamed track thus far, but it – as well as everything else that has been done for the follow-up to 2001’s Britney – is not guaranteed to wind up on Spears’ fourth LP. Durst found time to helm the Spears tune while working on Limp Bizkit’s new album, tentatively titled… Read more »

Limp Bizkit vocalist Fred Durst settled a $5 million lawsuit filed by a young woman who was hit in the face with a microphone he threw to the side of the stage. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed. Lighting technician Connie Paulson contended that Durst threw a microphone at her with “no provocation” and with “disregard,” knocking a tooth out, breaking her nose, and causing two black eyes after the band’s Birmingham, Alabama appearance on the Anger Management Tour in 2000. Allegedly in a “fit of rage” Durst hurled the microphone towards the side of the stage as… Read more »

Fred Durst reiterated claims of inadequate security on Monday during a hearing looking into the death of a 15-year-old concertgoer last year. From Los Angeles, the Limp Bizkit frontman spoke via videolink to the Glebe Coroner’s Court in Sydney, Australia, according to his manager, Peter Katsis. He claimed to have warned organizers of the touring Big Day Out festival of potential security problems at the Sydney stop, which took place January 26, 2001, and threatened to withdraw from the show if they weren’t remedied, following a similar crowd-crushing incident that occurred days prior in Auckland, New Zealand. “We definitely said… Read more »

Nine months after 9/11, Fred Durst is standing by his vow not to be a “hater,” despite what an interview in the July issue of Playboy might suggest. In the piece, Durst bashes Christina Aguilera, Kurt Loder and Filter’s Richard Patrick, but the interview was conducted long before the singer’s post-September 11 pledge to give peace a chance. “That interview is one-and-a-half years old that just got published with some extra comments about Wes [Borland],” Durst wrote on the official Limp Bizkit Web site. “I was really feeling negative about a lot of things back then.” One reason readers were… Read more »

After enlisting the help of fans to appeal for the return of his ex-guitarist on Friday, Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst has now reported on the band’s official Web site that the plan to lure back Wes Borland has failed. “I’m glad that you people read my news recently about Mr. Borland,” he said in a post on Monday (May 27). “He’s received your emails and has responded negatively, but that’s no reason to give up. He replied by saying that 75 percent of all his emails were telling him to never be with Limp Bizkit. I’m glad some of you… Read more »

Limp Bizkit jammed with four finalists after their much-publicized guitarist audition tour, but now it looks like Fred Durst might be taking a cue from his Puddle of Mudd pal Wes Scantlin and handling both vocal and guitar duties himself. “I’ve been doing a lot of writing lately, all kinds of styles,” he posted on the band’s Web site. “I’m playing guitar, too, [and] I have a couple PRS custom guitars being made for me.” Durst added that Limp Bizkit have rented a “cheesy ’70s house in the flats” that they’ve soundproofed so they don’t bother the neighbors. “It’s pink… Read more »
