It seems like it would be obvious not to upset a man who has been shot nine times, but apparently Taco Bell just isn't that smart. The fast food chain has incurred a lawsuit from 50 Cent as a result of a recent campaign in which they asked Fiddy to change his name to 70 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent. You see, those names would correspond with their menu prices. Get it? Haha. But Curtis Jackson did not find it so funny. He's suing them for using his name without permission. He claims his fans think he has sold out. His fans might think he was just hungry. It might be the trial of the century. But it probably won't be.
Courtney Love still in the news - now's she's getting sued! By some accounting firm, regarding profits from the sale of Nirvana songs. Not as exciting as her MySpace rants.
And one final word (at least from us) on the whole John Lydon/Kele Okereke mess. Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals, who was at the show performing with Neon Neon, has backed up Kele's claims. OK, that is all on this matter.
