FANS CAMPAIGN FOR CASH PARDON
Fans of country legend JOHNNY CASH are campaigning for the star to be pardoned for a 1965 arrest for drunkenness.
JOHNNY CASH
The A Boy Named Sue star is set to be honoured at a festival in Starkville, Mississippi, in November (07), and locals are hoping city officials will crown the event by wiping the late singer's record clean.
Cash was arrested in the city 42 years ago as he was leaving a party. He later penned a song about his run-in with the law, documenting his experience on the track Starkville City Jail.
Cash died in September 2003 after suffering complications from diabetes.

Post a commentSHAKUR'S MOTHER FIGHTS DEATH ROW IN BANKRUPTCY COURT
The mother of slain rapper TUPAC SHAKUR is fighting to prevent his former label from selling previously unreleased tracks in an effort to settle Death Row Records' bankruptcy case.
Tupac Shakur with his mother Afeni Shakur
Former Death Row boss Marion 'Suge' Knight filed for bankruptcy in April (07) after running up debts of $137 million (GBP68.5 million) and lawyers are desperately trying to raise money to cover the huge amounts owed by the company.
Afeni Shakur went to a federal bankruptcy court on Friday (20Jul07), seeking an injunction on Death Row's plans to release the California Love star's material, arguing that the songs are property of the rapper's estate and therefore not the company's to profit from.
Her lawyer, Donald N. David, claims the unreleased tracks should have been given to the estate as per a 1997 agreement with the label upon the hip-hop star's murder in September 1996.
David says it was only during the record company's bankruptcy proceedings that "it was revealed an album's worth of unreleased Tupac material was being advertised to potential buyers as the jewel in the crown of the Death Row assets".
Shakur, who is also representing her company Amur Entertainment, is expected to hear the verdict of her injunction request within the next four weeks.

SPEARS BUYS LIOTTA'S GBP4 MILLION MANSION?
BRITNEY SPEARS has splashed out GBP4 million ($8 million) to purchase RAY LIOTTA's Californian mansion, according to reports.
The pop superstar and mother-of-two is alleged to have made the offer on the five-bedroom property in the Pacific Palisades area of California, after placing her Beverly Hills mansion on the market following her split from Kevin Federline earlier this year (07).
And Spears, who also owns a house in Malibu, is said to fallen in love with Liotta's Mediterranean-style home after spending just 40 minutes checking out the property.
The Goodfellas star put the spacious mansion up for sale in February (07), after he was arrested and charged for drink-driving.

COMBS ASSAULT LAWSUIT DROPPED
Hip-hop mogul SEAN 'DIDDY' COMBS is celebrating after a lawsuit accusing him of assault was dropped due to 'insufficient evidence'.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs leaving the launch party for the fragrance 'Unforgivable' held at Fifty Casino, St James. London, England - 02.07.07
The rapper was alleged to have lost his temper with Gerald Rechnitzer at a post-Oscars party at Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel in February (07), when Combs was confronted for flirting with the clubber's fiancee.
In court documents, Rechnitzer claims Combs shouted, "What the f**k (are) you looking at, dude?" before threatening to "smack flames out of your ass".
The 27-year-old accused the Last Night hitmaker of "intentionally, willfully, knowingly and unlawfully attacking, assaulting and battering" him at the party and filed the suit in March (07), seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
But, according to the New York Post, the court case has fallen through, with a spokesman simply stating, "There was insufficient evidence."
Combs has always denied the allegations, branding them "fabricated" and a "flat-out lie".
His lawyer Benjamin Brafman adds, "People who are superstars are always vulnerable to these allegations."

MORALES FIGHTS SEXUAL ASSAULT CHARGE
LATEST: Actor ESAI MORALES has reassured fans sexual assault charges filed against him by an ex-girlfriend are 'without merit' in a post on his MySpace profile.
ESAI MORALES
The former NYPD Blue star explains he has been advised not to comment on charges he gave a former live-in girlfriend herpes after assaulting her, but he admits he felt he owed fans an explanation.
In a posting addressed, "To My Fans", Morales writes, "I need to assure you personally that the charges that have been leveled against me are absolutely false and without merit and I am prepared to vigorously defend myself and my reputation.
"You know me. You've known me for nearly three decades. And you know in your hearts that these claims are baseless. This is not the way I live my life and I am incapable of committing these kinds of acts... I will not let a personal attack deter me from the bigger picture."
In court papers filed last week (ends20Jul07), the actor's ex, Elizabeth Mazzocchi, claims Morales knew he had herpes but never told her about it, leaving her with "an incurable disease that will have associated medical expenses, pain and discomfort for the rest of her life."

ROLLING STONES POLISH GIGS IN DOUBT AFTER PILGRIM BUS CRASH
The ROLLING STONES' upcoming gigs in Poland have been plunged into doubt - because the country is in mourning following a fatal bus crash in the French Alps on Sunday (22Jul07).
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones
The rockers are due to play at the Sluzewiec Hippodrome on Wednesday night (25Jul07) - in what would be their first live date in Poland for nine years - but the country's president, Lech Kaczynski is expected to call off the open-air concert out of respect to the 26 native Roman Catholic pilgrims who were killed in the accident.
The victims had been on their way back to Poland after a trip to the holy Sanctuary of Notre Dame de la Salette, when the driver lost control of the bus, which crashed 50 feet (15.24 metres) down a river bank before bursting into flames.
President Kaczynski declared three days of national mourning on Monday (23Jul07) upon his return from France, where he had visited the crash site with French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

MY KID COULD PAINT THAT POSTER AND TRAILER
In Theaters October 5, 2007 (New York and Los Angeles)
Director: Amir Bar-Lev
Cast: Amir Bar-Lev, Anthony Brunelli, Michael Kimmelman, Laura Olmstead, Mark Olmstead, Marla Olmstead
Synopsis: In the span of only a few months, 4-year-old Marla Olmstead rocketed from total obscurity into international renown – and sold over $300,000 dollars worth of paintings. She was compared to Kandinsky and Pollock, and called "a budding Picasso." Inside Edition, The Jane Pauley Show, and NPR did pieces, and The Today Show and Good Morning America got in a bidding war over an appearance by the bashful toddler. There was talk of corporate sponsorship with the family fielding calls from The Gap and Crayola.
But not all of the attention was positive. From the beginning, many faulted her parents for exposing Marla to the glare of the media and accused the couple of exploiting their daughter for financial gain. Others felt her work was, in fact, comparable to the great abstract expressionists – but saw this as emblematic of the meaninglessness of Modern Art. "She is painting exactly as all the adult paintings have been in the past 50 years, but painting like a child, too. That is what everybody things but they don't dare to say it," said Oggi, the leading Italian weekly. Through no intention of her own, Marla revived the age-old question, 'what is art?'
And then, five months into Marla's new life as a celebrity and just short of her fifth birthday, a bombshell dropped. CBS' 60 Minutes aired an exposé suggesting strongly that the paintings were painted by her father, himself an amateur painter. As quickly as the public built Marla up, they tore her down. The New York Post asked whether "the juvenile Jackson Pollock may actually be a full-fledged Willem de Frauding," the Olmsteads were barraged with hate mail, ostracized around town, sales of the paintings dried up, and Marla's art dealer considered moving out of Binghampton. Embattled, the Olmsteads turned to the filmmaker to clear their name. Torn between his own responsibility as a journalist and the family's desire to see their integrity restored, the director finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into a situation that can't possibly end well for him and them, and could easily end badly for both.

LILY ALLEN HITS OUT AT COURTNEY LOVE
British pop star LILY ALLEN has criticised COURTNEY LOVE for her wild partying - insisting one night with the rocker almost drove her to rehab, according to reports.
Lily Allen performing at one of the 'Summer Series' events held at Somerset House. London, England - 16.07.07
The Smile hitmaker met Love, 43, in Los Angeles in April (07), where they partied together at the popular Hyde nightclub.

According to U.K. newspaper The Sun, Allen wrote: "I am not bfs (best friends with) C (Courtney) Love, one night with her made me realise why Kurt (Cobain) killed himself. I nearly checked into rehab."
Cobain committed suicide in 1994, aged 27.

Duff tells Hollywood Life magazine, "I remember when all that stuff came out about her not strapping her baby in the car seat right. I was just like, 'Leave her alone.'

BALLS OF FURY ALL NEW SYNOPSIS
In Theaters August 31, 2007
Director: Robert Ben Garant
Cast: Dan Fogler, Christopher Walken, George Lopez, Maggie Q, Thomas Lennon, Robert Patrick
Synopsis: In the unsanctioned, underground, and unhinged world of extreme Ping-Pong, the competition is brutal and the stakes are deadly. Now, this outrageous new comedy serves up this secret world for the first time on-screen. Down-and-out former professional Ping-Pong phenom Randy Daytona (Tony Award winner Dan Fogler) is sucked into this maelstrom when FBI Agent Rodriguez (George Lopez) recruits him for a secret mission. Randy is determined to bounce back and recapture his former glory, and to smoke out his father's (Robert Patrick) killer – one of the FBI's Most Wanted, arch-fiend Feng (Academy Award winner Christopher Walken). But, after two decades out of the game, Randy can't turn his life around and avenge his father's murder without a team of his own. He calls upon the spiritual guidance of blind Ping-Pong sage and restaurateur Wong (James Hong), and the training expertise of Master Wong's wildly sexy niece Maggie (Maggie Q), both of whom also have a dark history with Feng. All roads lead to Feng's mysterious jungle compound and the most unique Ping-Pong tournaments ever staged. There, Randy faces such formidable players as his long-ago Olympics opponent, the still-vicious Karl Wolfschtagg (Thomas Lennon). Can Randy keep his eye on the ball? Will he achieve the redemption he craves while wielding a paddle? Is his backhand strong enough to triumph over rampant wickedness?

INTERPOL STAR CLEANS UP AND TRIES ACTING
INTERPOL rocker CARLOS D was forced to clean up his life after a series of Internet attacks targeting his bad behaviour, because the criticism started to upset him.
Carlos D of Interpol performing at 2007 T in The Park Music Festival - Day 3. Kinross, Scotland - 08.07.07
The bassist admits he grew tired of reading Internet blogs such as Carlos D Has Herpes as fans started turning on him - and he decided it was time to get sober after years of wild nights.
The rocker explains, "After a certain time, your body can't take it. I think a lot of people didn't take me seriously. They didn't assume I had feelings or wants or needs, because they thought the hedonistic attitude took up everything inside me.
"For a while, I even believed that about myself, but I came to realise I'm so much more than that... I'm not that much of a hedonist anymore."
After sobering up, the rocker changed his familiar image so he could attend acting classes without getting mobbed by Interpol fans.
He adds, "It was a way for me to push everybody away so I could have more space to realise what my life is about. Everyone stopped recognising me on the street. I forgot what it's like to just be a normal person. It felt so good."

NIELSEN TOASTS EX FLAV AFTER LEAVING REHAB
BRIGITTE NIELSEN has spoken out for the first time since her release from rehab - and she feels like 'a new-born person.'
Brigitte Nielsen at the Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav held at The Warner Brothers Studio Lot. Burbank, California - 22.07.07
The leggy Dane, who was briefly married to Sylvester Stallone, joined the stars at a roast for former boyfriend Flavor Flav in Hollywood on Sunday (22Jul07) - her first public appearance since taking time out to address alcoholism issues at a retreat.
The actress checked into rehab in North Hollywood earlier this month (Jul07), following a family intervention.
She said, "I'm feeling good... I made a choice about a new life. It's not been easy but it was definitely time. And now I'm very happy to be out of rehab."
But, despite reports she fought family and friends who urged her to attend rehab for a drinking problem, Nielsen admits she's happy to have checked in.
She adds, "It has to do with your family... It was to do with your friends, who are honest with you. So you know maybe it's time to change - and that's exactly what I did. I cannot thank God more."
Nielsen tells America's People magazine she's almost 20 days sober and has no plans to drink alcohol again.

MOAKLER 'DEVASTATED' BY SECOND MARRIAGE SPLIT
Former beauty queen SHANNA MOAKLER has been left devastated after splitting from husband TRAVIS BARKER for a second time - because she realises the punk rocker is the love of her life.
Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler at Complex Magazine Celebrates its 5th Anniversary at Area. West Hollywood, California - 10.04.07
Moakler and Barker went through a messy separation last year (06) and started divorce proceedings, only to reconcile at the beginning of 2007 and give their marriage another chance.
But now Moakler feels the couple has split for good.
She says, "It's very disappointing. I consider him (Barker) the love of my life.
"I think the demise of a marriage is like a death, and there is a mourning that goes with it. It's devastating."
Moakler insists she'll spend the rest of 2007 celibate and single until she recovers from the marriage split.
She says, "Even my dad was like, 'You are not allowed to date for three to six months.' I don't think I should either."
Barker and Moakler wed in October 2004. The couple has two children: Landon, three, and Alabama, 19 months. Moakler also has another child, fathered by boxer Oscar De La Hoya.

EXCLUSIVE: STATEMENT ON LIL FLIP ARREST!
According to Sandy Lal, Lil Flip's attorney and manager, the charges against Lil Flip are complete nonsense and will quickly disappear.
Flip had absolutely no involvement with any sort of credit card fraud. He never personally handles any travel arrangements, that is left to promoters and travel agents. Any wrongdoing of any sort is clearly in THEIR hands. It's unfortunate that Flip was a victim to this charade and his name has been tied to this situation due to his celebrity status. Nevertheless, we are in the midst of negotiations for various ventures including a multi million dollar relaunch of his Lucky Nites cognac.
According to Lil Flip's Houston criminal attorney, Stanley Schneider, Lil Flip nor anyone associated with him had any knowledge that a stolen credit card was being used by a person hired to arrange his travel. A complete investigation will easily show that Lil Flip is innocent of all charges and is actually a victim of a scam.

VANILLA ICE FAILED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH DYING TAMMY FAYE
Rapper VANILLA ICE is upset he didn't get a chance to speak with televangelist pal TAMMY FAYE MESSNER before she died on Friday (20Jul07).
The Ice Ice Baby hitmaker befriended the beloved Christian when they were cast together on reality TV show The Surreal Life and he was devastated when he saw a frail Messner talking about her cancer battle on CNN show Larry King Live on Thursday (19Jul07).
He immediately picked up the phone and attempted to reach the ailing 65-year-old - to offer her his support and prayers.
The rapper says, "I got a hold of her manager; I was gonna go see her."
Vanilla Ice admits he was very impressed with his friend's final TV interview: "When you're looking at death and you can be that strong, that's really something to admire."

M.I.A: NO REGRETS OVER SONGS THAT LED TO VISA PROBLEMS
Fiery British hitmaker M.I.A. has no regrets about militant leaning songs that contributed in landing her on America's people-of-interest list - because she felt it was her duty to rap about terrorism.
The rapper, real name Maya Arulpragasam, had to pull out of a performance at the Sasquatch music festival in Washington in May (07) after failing to sort out visa issues in time.
Many believe M.I.A's provocative lyrics about the Palestinian Liberation Organisations and terrorist groups around the world contributed to her visa issues.
But M.I.A, the daughter of a former Tamil Tigers militant, says, "That came out of me. That was me talking about those things I wanted to.
"In 2002 and 2003, those things needed to be said, in my opinion.
"No one was singing about a million people dying in Iraq and us (Britain and America) f**king up and Saddam (Hussein) being hanged."

SPEARS UNLEASHES PAPARAZZI RAGE ON HEAVYWEIGHT CAMERAMAN
BRITNEY SPEARS served up expletive-laden diet tips to an overweight video cameraman after she was surrounded by paparazzi in Beverly Hills on Sunday (22Jul07).
The pop superstar pulled her Mercedes Benz over to the side of the road to attend to her sobbing son in the back of the car and she was far from amused when one heavyweight snapper blocked her exit.
Angry Spears wound her window down and said, "You gonna get on a diet? Have you ever tried WeightWatchers?"
Then, as she continued to struggle to drive away, the singer added, "Why don't you run; you need to f**king jog."
The paparazzi attack, which took place while Spears' kids continued to scream in the back of the car, came after the singer approached the paparazzi mob following her car and asked them politely to leave her alone.
She said, "You've got to stop using the cameras and following people. This is illegal."

Synopsis: Taking its title from the state motto of New Hampshire, LIVE FREE OR DIE is a deadpan comedy about a clueless, aspiring criminal named John “Rugged” Rudgate (Aaron Stanford), who spends his days forging rebate coupons and selling speakers out the back of his van. One day, Rugged runs into an old acquaintance, the dim-witted Jeff Lagrand (Paul Schneider), who recently returned home to help his cynical sister (Zooey Deschanel) run the storage facility that they inherited from their father. When Rugged tries to force his way into the Lagrand family business, things go terribly wrong -- and the situation gets even more complicated when an emotionally unstable cop (Michael Rapaport) begins investigating.

Cast: Jolene Blalock, LL Cool J, Ray Liotta, Taye Diggs, Mekhi Phifer
Synopsis: A sexy, stylish thriller, SLOW BURN stars Ray Liotta as Ford Cole, a big-city district attorney with his eye on the mayor’s office and a big problem on his hands. One of his deputies, the beautiful assistant district attorney Nora Timmer (Jolene Blalock), has just confessed to killing a man in what she claims was self-defense. A bad situation gets worse when an enigmatic stranger named Luther Pinks (James Todd Smith) turns up at the police station to contradict Nora’s story and paint a very different picture of Ford’s talented colleague. With his career and perhaps his life on the line, Ford has a mere handful of hours to sort the truth from the lies in a saga involving Nora, a record store clerk (Mekhi Phifer), and a powerful gang lord. SLOWBURN is produced by GreeneStreet Films co-founder Fisher Stevens, Sidney Kimmel of Sidney Kimmel Entertainment, Bonnie Timmermann of Bonnie Timmermann Productions, and Tim Williams of GreeneStreet Films, with GreeneStreet co-founder John Penotti, Longfellow Pictures’ Andy Karsch and Andy Reimer executive producing.
PERFUME: THE STORY OF A MURDERER
Cast: Dustin Hoffman, Alan Rickman, Ben Whishaw, Rachel Hurd-Wood, Reg Wilson
Synopsis: Based on the best-selling novel by Patrick Süskind, “Perfume: The Story of a Murderer” is a story of a deadly obsession set in 18th-century France. Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, orphaned as a newborn in the streets of Paris, is alone in the world. A peculiar child who rarely speaks, Grenouille is alienated from others but blessed with a remarkable gift. His sense of smell is so refined, so attuned to every blade of grass and blossoming flower, that it’s tragic when he’s sold into servitude to a tannery at the age of 13 and surrounded by the foul odors that accompany his labor. But there comes a day when Grenouille does an errand in town and discovers the object that will transform his life: perfume. Eager to learn the art of creating sophisticated fragrance, he apprentices himself to a once-renowned perfumer, and proves to be a savant whose almost mystical knowledge of scent surpasses anything that can be taught to him by masters of the craft. Ironically, he was born with no scent of his own, a distinction which colors his undistinguished life. But Grenouille is fearless when it comes to the pursuit of a perfect perfume. When he discovers the most intoxicating scent he has ever experienced – the natural fragrance of a beautiful young girl – he learns that the only method to preserve her innocence and fresh beauty will require murder. Plaguing the countryside with a series of gruesome killings, Grenouille must stay one step ahead of the authorities until he captures the final ingredient for his greatest perfume – the essence of a beautiful redheaded girl whose wealthy father earnestly protects her. Only then, he believes, will he earn the attention and adulation that his extraordinary talent deserves.
