• Rapper Cassidy was convicted of involuntary manslaughter yesterday, upping his street cred, and guaranteed to inspire a cell block album. [Billboard]
• Let the self-promotion continue! Cam’ron is holding a press conference at the Tribeca Grand to discuss his (one-sided) “feud” with Jay-Z. [Page Six]
• Jewel wraps-up another album. We really, really hope it’s more early-Jewel-esque. We liked being 14. 19, not so much. [Live Daily]
• The New York Times shocks us with their discovery of Decemberists front man and lit-rocker extraordinaire Colin Meloy. [NYT]
• Wait, MTV’s Made converts a young woman into a rock star and then leaves her out to dry after three weeks? Get out. [The Phoenix]
