DMX and Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst are poised to come together once again, that is, if the Dark Man’s asthma doesn’t get in the way. X and Durst were supposed to hit New York’s Hit Factory studio on Friday to record a song for an upcoming compilation LP on DMX’s Bloodline label, as well as the soundtrack to the drama “Undisputed,” which stars Wesley Snipes, Ving Rhames and Master P. That didn’t happen, though, as the growling MC suffered an asthma attack while in Atlanta for a date on his Hoodstock Tour, according to his spokesperson. He was in… Read more »

Christina Aguilera’s golden locks, Fred Durst’s backward ball cap, Gwen Stefani’s rainbow makeup and Justin Timberlake’s freshly grown peach fuzz took a back seat Thursday to a look unprecedented even in popular music – blindfolds. “I feel like I’m playing pin the tail on the donkey,” Aguilera quipped in between takes during the first day of shooting proper videos for three all-star remakes of Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On.” Many of the artists who contributed to the project – from Ja Rule to Staind’s Aaron Lewis to Alicia Keys – will don blindfolds for the video shoot, which heads to… Read more »

Although it probably won’t make Limp Bizkit, Staind or Linkin Park sound anemic by comparison, Paul McCartney’s Driving Rain should rock the house harder than anything the former Beatle has recorded since “Helter Skelter” – or at least “Helen Wheels.” “It’s a more aggressive record, definitely,” said producer David Kahne, who has worked with Sugar Ray, Sublime, the Bangles and Tony Bennett. “It’s got real energetic guitar songs. They’re all original, and there’s a lot of power there. I think he really loved doing that because he hadn’t done it in a while.” While Driving Rain’s guitar-blaring rockers will likely… Read more »
