Dolby disses K-Fed

That’s right, Thomas, you tell him! Thomas Dolby is currently pissed off at Kevin Federline for sampling “She Blinded Me With Science” in his new lame-ass song without permission. Says Dolby on hiss official blog:

“Turns out K-Fed has no management, label or lawyer, so it’s going to be hard getting hold of him. So K-Fed, if you’re reading this, I’m asking you nicely to take the track down ASAP. Or maybe you’d prefer me to come after some of your wife’s ill-gotten gains?”

Also accoring to Dolby, he’d never heard of K-Fed until “a few days ago.” It’s too bad the rest of us can’t say the same thing. Woe be to the label who winds up releasing his debut turd of an album. K-Fed would be better off just going back to dumpster diving and leaving the public alone.

Abdul assualted

Or so she says. Paula Abdul is claiming she was roughed up by a man at a private party this past weekend. According to poor Paula, she sustained a concussion and “spinal injuries.” All this from the guy grabbing her arm and applying her to the nearest wall. First Corey Clark and now this. We get it already, Paula. You’re a has been who now has a new life as a celebrity judge. It’s too bad “The Gong Show” is gone (although in a recent “Rolling Stone” Abdul claims she always wanted to be on that show as a kid – how ironic), as you could surely have been a worthy foil to Jaye P. Morgan.

The lawyer’s surprised, but we’re not

Well, Eminem’s getting divorced from Kim Mathers. Again. Didn’t I call this one? I think I did, but anyone could have. Why they got remarried is anyone’s guess, but it looks like this time it’s really over. Kim’s lawyer said,

“It comes to us as somewhat of a surprise. But we have to deal with it, and we will deal with it,” he said. “I was at their wedding. It’s very unfortunate that he filed for divorce.”

Somewhat of a surprise? You mean you didn’t see this coming a mile away? What a shocker. Oh well, maybe Kim will get a-plenty from the prenup.

Ringo Starr has a new All-Starr Band.

On the whole, I think my April Fool’s joke about Ringo and Paul teaming up was funnier than the reality of Starr touring with Rod Argent, Edgar Winter, Billy Squier, Sheila E, and…Richard Marx?

Jesus H. Jumping Christ on a Pogo Stick.

The guy’s a Beatle; don’t tell me he doesn’t have any higher profile friends than Richard freakin’ Marx…

That guy belongs to yesterday

Gene Pitney has died.

The man who sang “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance,” “Town Without Pity,” and “24 Hours From Tulsa” was found dead in his hotel room his morning, after having played a show the previous evening. Pitney had been on tour in the UK, where he’d maintained a significant level of popularity since duetting with Soft Cell frontman Marc Almond on a cover of his ’60s hit, “Something’s Gotten Hold Of My Heart.”

In tribute, I went immediately to CDBaby.com and ordered He’s A Rebel: The Gene Pitney Story Retold, which features covers of Pitney’s songs by the underground power pop community, including contributions from Mark Johnson, the Waking Hours, Michael Shelley, Chris Von Sneidern, Al Kooper, Ed James, Barry Holdship, and Jeremy, among others.

Goodbye, Gene.
