Legally challenged rocker Courtney Love can put “parent” back on the list of things she sometimes does-right up there with “sing” and “act.” A judge ruled Monday that Love could regain custody of her 12-year-old daughter, Frances Bean, whose father is the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. “Frances has been returned to [Love] after a judge indicated satisfaction in Ms. Love’s efforts to turn around her life and found it was in the best interests of mother and daughter to be reunited,” Love’s attorney, Howard Weitzman, said in a statement. Frances has not been in Love’s care since her mother’s… Read more »

Los Angeles – Bon Jovi want to give love a good name. The New Jersey rockers recently finished recording their ninth studio record, and singer Jon Bon Jovi calls it their most upbeat album ever. “After these trying times in the States this last year, we’re trying to get back to some optimism, people accepting each other,” Bon Jovi said. Telling of their optimism is the title of the first single, “Have a Nice Day,” which the band performed at the American Music Awards last month. John Shanks, who has worked with Lindsay Lohan, Ashlee Simpson, Hilary Duff and Kelly… Read more »

Just like in professional wrestling, a band’s entrance music provides a pretty good forecast of what’s to follow. When Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” filled an arena, Hulk Hogan’s irrepressible fortitude wasn’t far behind. The sound of glass shattering typically prefaced a Stone Cold-style beat-down. And this past summer, when Joe Esposito’s “You’re the Best,” off “The Karate Kid” soundtrack, rained down upon an unsuspecting rock club, it meant that one of the most immodest bands around was about to deliver its musical equivalent of a jump-front kick to the head. “We thought it was the funniest thing,” explained Fall… Read more »

It looks like pop-punk is getting some love over at MuchMusic. A couple of months after Good Charlotte hit the Chum City Building and a few weeks after Sum 41 make their appearance in downtown Toronto (catch that one on Much this Thursday), everyone’s favourite French-Canadian power-pop quintet Simple Plan are going to be inside the Much environment doing a show of their own, much to the delight of pre-teen punks across the nation. Pierre, Chuck, Dave, Jeff and Sebastien will perform songs from their latest album, Still Not Getting Any…, and will also chat with Much VJ Matte Babel… Read more »

Los Angeles – Somehow Outkast have managed to get some work done in between collecting all their trophies. The hip-hop duo – who were big winners at the recent MTV Europe Awards, American Music Awards and World Music Awards, among others – have nearly completed two different records and have just finished shooting their long-awaited HBO movie. Titled “My Life in Idlewild,” the movie was written and directed by longtime Outkast video director Bryan Barber and features Big Boi and Andre 3000 acting alongside Ving Rhames, Paula Jai Parker (“Friday”), Terrence Howard (“Ray”) and Malinda Williams (“Soul Food”), among others.… Read more »

New York – Paris Hilton has been trying to hold down a job. She flitted from city to city on her “Simple Life”-sponsored tour of the East Coast for the last four weeks, taking on a new internship wherever her Greyhound bus stopped. The trip provided the premise for the FOX show’s forthcoming third season, “Simple Life 3: Interns,” but also gave the hotel heiress an appreciation for a healthy work ethic. Now that she’s back home, all she wants to do is get back to work. “I need to be in the studio, like, tomorrow,” Hilton said Sunday night… Read more »

Today the five member group, New Edition released their eighth in-studio album, One Love.

It also remains in rotation at radio stations in Washington, D.C., Chicago, Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles, and New York. One Love is a CD… Read more »

Unlike many of his fellow musicians, Sting is not becoming an activist for the upcoming Presidential election. According to Reuters, the British-born star says he commends the efforts of music artists who are taking part in the Vote For Change tour, but won’t join them because he’s not a U.S. citizen. Sting said he doesn’t think it’s his place to get involved since he’s a “guest” in this country. Although Sting is currently on tour, he revealed that he keeps up with world affairs by reading while on the road: “I’m very plugged into what’s going on politically. I read… Read more »

After you’ve disrobed Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl, and presumably disrobed Cameron Diaz someplace, can you really go back to being just one of the boys? For Justin Timberlake, the answer is no, per a report in the new People magazine. Timberlake “doesn’t want any part” of a planned ‘N Sync reunion, a source says in People. “Justin said he’s not in the mood and doesn’t think it will work,” the spy tells the magazine. ‘N Sync, with the Backstreet Boys, the leading boy band of the teen-pop explosion of the late 1990s/early 2000s, has been on hiatus since… Read more »

The success of the Black Eyed Peas flies in the face of the conventional wisdom that the music business sacrifices long-term artist development in favor of quick hits and short-term corporate profits. Signed to Interscope Records more than six years ago by chairman Jimmy Iovine, the progressive hip-hop group’s first two albums, “Behind the Front” in 1998 and “Bridging the Gap” in 2000 earned rave reviews but failed to go gold (shipments of 500,000 copies). The first album peaked at No. 139 on the Billboard 200 with sales of 197,000 units, according Nielsen SoundScan, while the sophomore set stalled at… Read more »
