Method Man recently admitted to brutally shooting someone in the leg with a BB gun. But ironically, the incident has nothing to do with the lady who happens to be suing him for an alleged air gun attack back in 2008. In a video for VladTV.com, the rapper says that he accidentally “shot one of [his] people in the leg with a f***ing BB” while he was holding target practice on his tour bus a while back. He said that the BB broke through his friend’s skin and that there was “blood gushing out his damn leg.” Method Man claims that he felt really bad about the accident and that he is still apologizing to the guy up to now. I’m pretty sure that the lady who’s suing him is looking for more than just an apology.

Britney Spears’s recent stunt at the GM Place in Vancouver should be taken as a pitch for the anti-smoking campaign. Britney Spears walked out of the stage right after she started her Circus Show. She was dressed in a ringleader costume with matching whip but when she removed the jacket she was clad only in a sparkling bra with bare midriff. The fans started to go wild and chanted “Britney! Britney” when the stage went dark. After a while it was announced that the performance will resume after the air clears since it is no longer comfortable and safe for the performers.

After a lot of booing and howling for 30 minutes Britney Spears appeared and sang “If U Seek Amy” as well as “Me Against the Music”. Britney closed the Circus show with “Womanizer” but not before telling the Vancouver crowd to stop smoking weed. That proved to be a very high profile campaign pitch not only against smoking but against smoking weed. Way to go Britney Spears!

Single File rock, and their new website is here to prove just that! The brand new site, SingleFileRock.com, was launched along with news that the band is set to rock the stage with Alkaline Trio and Saves The Day for a string of dates in late April and the early days of May leading into the famed Bamboozle fest on May 3rd.

The rock continues on for Single File as they release Common Struggles, their major label debut, on April 7th. The album, produced by Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, The All-American Rejects, Less Than Jake) features the quirky pop-rock track “Mannequin Loveseat” as well as the just released album single “Girlfriends.” The new single is sure to be a hit as it channels the likes of Weezer, Plain White T’s and all that’s right with modern pop-rock.

The singer finally had the first show of her long-awaited tour was finally set in motion with the show at the New Orleans Arena on March 3rd. Britney Spears apparently did put on quite a show at a technical level, but she resorted to playback for most of the songs, and the only words she actually said in the whole show were these, spoken at the very end of the show: “Thank you New Orleans, I love u guys. Did y’all have a good time? Thank you so much.” Right, hell of a comeback for Britney Spears, songs that are “sung” in playback and just a few words at the end after such a long absence. If her fans let her get away with this, they should also be tarred and feathered.

Jennifer Hudson has made what can be termed as a moderately successful return to singing and public life and that has given her the confidence to follow it up with a 6-week tour. Fans at the Super Bowl held on Sunday February 1, 2009 got the first glimpse of the singer after she went into hiding following her murders of her brother, mother and nephew last October.

Jennifer, an Oscar winner sang the US National Anthem in front of a sellout crowd but later it was found out that the organizers forced her to lip-sync the song and the crowd had no idea of that. Later her manager had made an announcement that she will undertake a 6-week tour starting at the end of March or early April.

If she lip-syncs again, I am outta here. No excuses. One’s gift for singing should enable one to express grief as well as a host of other strong feelings. The organizers should either have had complete faith in her abilities or let her sing her natural voice or then should not have allowed her on stage.

Such things could really jeopardize someone’s budding career but she’s been around for a while and that’s why the impact will be short lived if at all.

It has been announced that the newly released “Shout” video from thrashers BLACK TIDE will be featured on mtvU’s new artist show, The Freshman. The show spotlights emerging artists both on air and online, with a chance for one of the competing videos to get an automatic add into rotation on the channel the following week. Be sure to visit freshmen.mtvu.com and vote! Fans can vote as many times as they want.

On the strength of their electric debut album, Light From Above, BLACK TIDE has been voted “Best New Artist” from several media outlets including Guitar World, Kerrang!, and TheGauntlet.com.

BLACK TIDE is currently overseas in the UK touring with Bring Me The Horizon, Mindless Self Indulgence and others. The band will return home in February to kick off a US tour with Escape The Fate. BLACK TIDE will also be a main stage performer all summer long on Warped Tour 2009.

Rise Against has just issued the following update;

Few things are more exciting than watching Bush finally release America as his eight year hostage, but if anything could rival that news, it’s this: We are more than pleased to announce that we will have the honor of touring the US & Canada with punk rock legends RANCID this summer. If Tim Armstrong didn’t confirm it personally backstage in LA a few weeks ago, we wouldn’t believe it either.

In the meantime, off to Europe with Anti-Flag, Strike Anywhere and the Flobots…stay tuned for updates from the road…and go check out our going away present to W, in the form of our new video for “Audience Of One.”

Hot on the heels of ultra-successful runs with Theory of a Deadman, Seether and the Puddle of Mudd Tour, Nashville favorites SafetySuit will grace the stage alongside multi-platinum artists 3 Doors Down and Hinder for what is poised to be one of the biggest rock tours of 2009. They’ll be kicking off a month long run on January 22nd in Reading, Pennsylvania.

Nearly a year after their debut single “Someone Like You” hit airwaves SafetySuit have garnered critical acclaim and widespread appeal. “Someone Like You” broke through the Hot A/C Top 30 and Alternative Top 15, while the accompanying music video is steadily climbing the VH1 charts-hitting #8 on the Top 20 Countdown week of 12/22. Their second single “Stay” will be impacting at Top 40 and Hot A/C in February.

“SafetySuit is a fantastic artist development story,” said Universal Motown President Sylvia Rhone. “They’ve built up a passionate grassroots following through constant touring, while our team has been working for the past year to seed their music across multiple platforms. They’re a great band with a long career ahead of them, and it’s gratifying to see everything coming together so beautifully.” To date four tracks from their debut album Life Left To Go, including “Someone Like You”, have been featured on the hit MTV reality show “The Hills”. The resulting sales increase is staggering; both mobile and digital track sales are up 1000% and full album sales are up 25%.
