• Things are finally looking up for Ashley Parker Angel. His crazy girlfriend is even allowing strippers back to their hotel room. Don’t say being in a boyband never did anything for you, Ash. [R&M]
• The British government has a hand in which bands strike it big in America. Too bad they can’t use those hands to kidnap Kevin Federline. [LAT]
• Down in Austin, bands are literally throwing themselves at record execs and fans alike. MySpace just seems so much safer. [NYT]
• Due to a copyright infringement lawsuit, it looks like Notorious B.I.G‘s “Ready to Die” may be hard to get your hands on for a while. So hold on to that copy you’ve had since middle school, or auction it off on eBay now, while the panic is still fresh. [MTV]
• Three 6 Mafia gets sued by a fan who blames them for a “violent encounter” at their concert. It’s hard out here for an Oscar winner. (Especially when everyone knows how much money comes along with the award). [E!]
