Sunday: Dr. Pepper Day

Good to see the Roots in the mainstream news following their appointment as the new Late Night band, but this is the kind of news we could do without: the Philly heroes were in a tourbus accident in Paris early Thursday morning. Their bus flipped after crashing into a van. Thankfully, all are well. ?uestlove has a pretty horrifying account of the incident.

So yesterday, Chinese Democracy commenced streaming on the Guns n Roses MySpace. So how are the numbers? Pretty impressive: as of midnight ET last night, almost 3 million plays for the day. Not bad. The album goes on sale Sunday. And Sunday will be your only opportunity to grab a coupon for a free soda from Dr. Pepper's site. And after Sunday, according to Jon Pareles at the New York Times, we can lay to rest both the concept of and the reality the multi-million dollar album. And in case you're wondering, he thinks there are a couple of decent songs on the album, but that the whole thing is bloated and overdone. There's no doubting, though, that it's fascinating to listen to, at least once.

The curious feud between Taco Bell and 50 Cent continues. In July, the Bell tried to goad Fiddy into being part of their marketing campaign concerning their line of 79 cent tacos. Not only was the former Curtis Jackson pissed off, but he sued for wrongful use of his name. A bit of an overreaction, but whatever. Now, it's Taco Bell's turn to get pissed off. The chain filed its own suit against the rapper, calling him "a self-described former drug dealer and hustler" and basically calling him a fake gangsta. Dude, you DO NOT mess with Taco Bell.

Ashlee Simpson had her shortie and now there is a little Fall Out baby Boy. UPDATE: The kid's name is Bronx Mowgli Wentz. TAKE THIS CHILD FROM HIS UNFIT PARENTS NOW.
