- A fan is suing the Celebrity Sitess for $51 million in a class action lawsuit. The fan alleges that for her and the many other Stones fans that traveled to Atlantic City to see the band play on Friday, the last-minute cancellation of the show (due to Jagger’s sore throat) was extremely inconvenient and expensive. $51 million would be a lot of walking around money for you and me, but for the Stones, who will gross hundreds of millions on the tour, it’s as easy as falling out of a coconut tree.
- Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner accepted Q awards for People’s Choice and Best Album, but took a moment to lash out at British boy band godfathers Take That, who won the Icon award. ?I’m not old enough to know a lot of them, but even I know Take That were bollocks,” he reportedly spat. Picking on a boy band is like hitting a kid with glasses.

- According to the BBC, EMI has bought the rights to use Dean Martin’s “name, image, and likeness.” We’re not sure what thiz means but we’re imagining “Mambo Italiano” converted into a selection of Italian-food-peddling jingles.
- Punk’s Not Dead, an ambitious punk rock documentary set to examine the last 30 years of punk music, has updated the list of band it plans to include in the film. The list now includes everyone frm Green Day, X, and The Ramones, to Black Flag, Minor Threat, and My Chemical Romance. [via PunkNews.org]
